What separates war fighting from a warrior? Is it skill? Is it experience? Or is it something deeper that only reveals itself when it matters most?From the Pentagon, Fran Racioppi sat down with Sergeant Major of the Army Mike Weimer and retired Command Sergeant Major Rick Merritt to discuss what it truly means to build and sustain warriors in the United States Army.CSM Merritt spent over three decades on active duty, including 25 years in the 75th Ranger Regiment, serving in every enlisted leadership position from rifleman to Regimental Sergeant Major. He conducted over 1,500 combat operations under Joint Special Operations Command and served more than five years in combat task forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. His experience spans the full arc of modern warfare.Together with the SMA, we unpack into the difference between technical proficiency and true warrior mindset, what commitment looks like when compliance disappears, and how leaders enforce standards without eroding trust. We explore whether resilience is built over time or revealed under pressure, and how purpose sustains Soldiers when motivation begins to fade.As warfare becomes more technical and systems driven, the SMA is challenging the force to ensure technology enhances the warrior. Future conflict will demand innovation and the technological edge, but victory on the battlefield will still be decided by human judgment, character, and leadership.This is a conversation about standards, commitment, mental toughness, and the responsibility of leaders to hold the line…not just to engage in the business of war fighting, but to forge warriors ready to close with and destroy our nation's adversaries.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast4:40 Defining An Army Warrior14:02 Compliance to Commitment20:02 What Is The Army Culture?27:18 Why A Warrior Mindset Matters38:52 How to Lead the War fighting ProfessionQUOTES“I see a warrior as the reason why we do it.”“Make a difference with your presence. Otherwise, why are you there?”“A warrior is a way of life.”“Technology is not going to make up for the foundation.”“A warrior is one that is dedicated, disciplined, willing to go the extra mile, will fight for those left and right, and never quit.”“The best recruiters we have are our service members, our veterans.”“How much is enough of these key attributes to take a risk on you and bring you in and start developing the rest of that?”“There's just some things about human beings that are going to be done on an individual's basic timeline in life.”“It's not normal for this generation.”“Combat readiness is a way of life.”“Although I took the uniform off, my oath didn't go away.”“The guys on my team know that they're in the right spot with the right people, with the right culture.”“You're consecrated into this culture that I got to find when I retire.” “What makes that culture is character and character development.”“That probably makes the difference in the world is where our NCO core is compared to other countries.”“I'm a firm believer that the noncommissioned officer is the keeper of the culture.”“I think that was our biggest challenge in Vietnam.”“This profession, we hand you a machete and we say ‘Take that path.'”“Grit comes through hardship.”“At the end of the day, guys got to go on the ground.”“We're struggling a little bit in that space.”“There's no time limit on honorable service.”“What is better than being a company commander?”“Don't be a pain in the ass. Be value added.”“This is a journey, not a destination.”“A legend is nothing but a man or woman who spent their life surrounding themselves with people better than them.”Follow the Jedburgh Podcast and the Green Beret Foundation on social media.

Solve a real buyer problem. Build enterprise value. Exit on your terms.In this episode of the She Leads Podcast, Kelly Parker shares how she built Send Ribbon, a bootstrapped corporate gifting company acquired by UrbanStems, by focusing on one overlooked opportunity: solving real pain points for real buyers.With just $5,000 and no outside funding, Kelly launched her business at 27 after years inside high growth companies like Indeed, WeWork, and DoorDash. Instead of chasing luxury products or hype, she spoke directly with office managers, the true gatekeepers of corporate purchasing, and realized they did not need more options. They needed reliability, speed, and zero friction.That insight became her competitive advantage and ultimately positioned the company for acquisition.In this conversation, Kelly breaks down how relationship first thinking helped her win Fortune 500 clients, why visibility matters more than perfection when positioning for acquisition, and how staying close to your buyer builds long term enterprise value.She also challenges the pressure many women founders face to be “all in” at the expense of financial stability. From healthcare realities to diversified income strategies, Kelly shares practical advice for building sustainable companies that align with your life, not just your ambition.Today, through her advisory platform launchgrowexit, Kelly supports female founders who want to launch, grow, and eventually exit their companies with clarity and confidence.If you are building a business, thinking about long term value, or questioning the hustle culture narrative, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for turning customer insight into a high value company.Chapters: 00:56

Selling from the Soul: Confidence, Grit and Purpose-Driven SuccessHost: Julie Riga | Guest: Monique IacobacciWhat does it truly take to show up every day with confidence, resilience, and authentic purpose, even when doors are being slammed in your face? In this heartfelt episode, Julie Riga sits down with her longtime friend and powerhouse sales leader Monique Iacobacci to explore the mindset and soul-driven conviction behind over a decade of transformational selling. From polar-vortex cold calls on the New York City subway to becoming Business Development Manager of the Year, Monique shares the ingredients for success that no sales manual can fully capture.Selling from the Soul: Confidence, Grit and Purpose-Driven SuccessAbout the GuestMonique Iacobacci is an Executive Business Development Manager for the number one professional skincare brand in the country, working with plastic surgeons, dermatologists, high-end spas, and aesthetic clinics. With over thirteen years in her field, she has broken sales records, earned Rookie of the Year honors, and helped transform New York City into one of her company's strongest markets. She brings analytical precision and genuine human warmth to everything she does.Fun Fact: Monique's favorite food is pizza with hot honey pepperoni, a bold and unexpected twist that perfectly mirrors her approach to sales and to life.The Three Ingredients for Success1. Confidence in Who You Are and What You Know Walk in knowing your product, your value, and your purpose fully. Confidence is the clarity and conviction that you have something genuinely meaningful to offer. Without it, no strategy will carry you far.2. A Service-First Mindset Approach every interaction with sincerity and a genuine desire to help. Selling stops feeling like selling when you show up as a trusted partner committed to solving your client's real problems.3. Intentional Focus and Discipline Conversations drift. The best professionals bring them back. Stay present, stay purposeful, and always return to what moves the relationship and the result forward.Filling Your Cup and Building ResilienceMonique's secret to sustained performance is a faith-anchored mindset shift: choosing to declare each day will be great, even when every instinct says otherwise. Her core philosophy: you are the brand. If your cup is not full, you have nothing to pour into others. Prioritizing yourself is not selfishness. It is the foundation of authentic leadership, confident presence, lasting impact, and purposeful living. Fill up so you can fully show up.Key Takeaways for LeadersFill Your Cup First - Self-leadership is the foundation of showing up with the energy and confidence that wins trust.Believe in Your Value - Conviction is contagious. When you know you can help someone, that certainty does half the work.Rejection Is Redirection - A no is rarely final. Treat every closed door as a not yet and keep nurturing the relationship.Ask Better Questions - The most powerful sales tool is a mirror. Ask questions that help your client see their own gap.Stay On Course - Keep learning, evolving, and challenging yourself every day. Growth does not stop when you hit your goals.Memorable Quotes"If my cup isn't filled, how am I supposed to pour into somebody else?""I felt like a doctor knocking on a sick person's door saying, here is medicine that you need and you just don't know it yet.""Nothing worth it is easy. I will tell you that.""Keep sewing into yourself and putting yourself first. That is what gives you the energy and the drive to keep going."Connect with Julie RigaWebsite: julieriga.com/leadSocial Media: @julierigaCoaching: Learn more about leadership coaching and transformationThis episode is a must-share for sales leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone building a career grounded in authentic growth, self-leadership, and purpose.#StayOnCourse #PurposeDrivenLeadership #AuthenticGrowth #SalesLeadership #Ingredie

Why being true to yourself enables you to show up better for others.From the way you communicate, to the way you build your life and career, Graham Weaver, MBA '99, says it's about “giving yourself permission to fully be yourself. You can never go wrong when you're saying your truth.”Weaver is a lecturer in management, a GSB alum, and the founder and a partner of Alpine Investors. He stresses the importance of direct communication, highlighting how avoiding it can lead to wasted time, energy, and even financial losses. Reflecting on his own experiences in private equity, Weaver admits to struggling with being conflict-averse and not speaking his truth directly, which resulted in getting into bad deals and big losses for his company. “People think that by being indirect, they're being kind, but all they're doing is creating confusion,” he says. “Clarity is compassionate. Even if it's not what they want to hear, the more direct and clear you can be, the more compassionate that is for the other person.”In this Rethinks episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Weaver and host Matt Abrahams explore how being true to oneself not only fosters personal fulfillment but also enables us to show up better for others. Authenticity and self-belief lay the foundation for effective communication, leadership, and ultimately, success.Episode Reference Links:Graham WeaverConnect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:56) - Direct Communication & Limiting Beliefs (07:06) - The Internal Game (08:11) - An Asymmetrical Life (13:23) - Taylor Swift & Grit (16:17) - Pursuing Enlightenment (20:31) - The Final Three Questions (27:28) - Conclusion   ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

You're secretly afraid that if you set boundaries around when you work or stop applying pressure, you'll collapse. That the drive you have will disappear. That you won't get anything done without urgency forcing you forward.Does that resonate?For a long time, I thought I only had two speeds: all in or completely off. If I slowed down, I was afraid I would stop. Like if I wasn't pushing at 100%, I'd lose momentum, lose motivation, or lose my edge altogether.That fear made sense at the time because I didn't have healthy boundaries or perspective yet. Pressure was doing the job. Boundaries weren't.What changed wasn't my work ethic. It was my relationship to urgency. My goals are bigger and more ambitious today than five years ago, but I'm much clearer about the difference between commitment and urgency.Commitment now means I'm clear about direction, but not that I'm constantly pushing. It means I'm willing to stay with something over time without turning every delay or pause into a personal problem. I'm committed to making it happen. I'm not naturally committed to when it happens.You don't need to be less ambitious to live this way. You don't need to care less or want less for yourself. You get to choose how you relate to your goals. You can be driven and content. You can be committed and patient. Both can exist.Listen in to hear how.Links & Resources:Join the Facebook groupFinancial Coaching EssentialsKey Takeaways:The reason it's possible to get a lot done isn't because of working obsessively. It's because there are clear boundaries around when work stops.Passion needs guardrails and creativity needs discipline. Without guardrails, everything feels urgent, rest feels irresponsible, and slowing down feels like risk.Commitment means you're clear about direction, not that you're constantly pushing. It means you're willing to stay with something over time without turning every delay into a personal problem.You can have a perfectly structured schedule and still live with constant internal urgency. The guardrails need to be both practical and internal.Grit that carries a lot of pressure isn't sustainable. There's still grit now, but it's softer. There's more trust in it. Seasons are allowed.Your family, mental health, and emotional wellbeing don't compete with your ambition. They support it.Where have you been afraid that if you slowed down, you'd stop altogether? What might change if you tested a different structure with more boundaries, more perspective, and less urgency?

Send a textWhat looks glamorous on the outside often hides complicated truths underneath. In this episode, the hosts unpack the fascination with the Kennedy family, especially the relationship between John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and why their story still resonates today. Beyond celebrity intrigue, the conversation explores deeper themes like identity, pressure, media scrutiny, and the cost of living in the public eye.Listeners are reminded that fame does not equal perfection. Even people who appear to “have it all” are navigating insecurity, relationship struggles, grief, and expectations. The episode also highlights the importance of trusting your instincts, protecting your personal boundaries, and holding people accountable in relationships. A powerful takeaway is that public perception rarely reflects private reality, and comparison can distort how we see our own lives.The story of a young Girl Scout overcoming rejection to break cookie-selling records reinforces another key message: find your tribe. Surrounding yourself with supportive people can unlock confidence, purpose, and success.Overall, this episode blends pop culture, personal reflection, and life lessons about resilience, authenticity, and choosing the right people to walk alongside you.Pim's Cookie Store: https://digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/pim391562Pim's TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@lifeofapimEpisode Highlights:(0:00) Intro(0:56) Florida trip and life updates(3:22) Trending stories and headlines discussion(6:10) Epstein case and personal experiences(12:42) Kennedy fascination and cultural impact(14:40) Carolyn and JFK Jr. relationship beginnings(22:41) Marriage, media pressure, and public scrutiny(27:14) Relationship struggles and tragic flight(29:20) Is there a Kennedy curse?(33:15) Grit person of the week story(36:00) OutroSupport the showFollow us: Web: https://girlsgonegritty.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/girlsgonegritty/ More ways to find us: https://linktr.ee/girlsgonegritty

#213 - A hurricane on New Year's Day, a shredded tent, and a sudden slide toward hypothermia at 1,600 meters—Belinda Coker's Canary Islands traverse didn't go to plan. That sharp turn, and her decision to bail out, reveals the heartbeat of this conversation: how true adventure balances awe with judgment, and how choosing safety can be the bravest move on the trail.We walk back to Belinda's roots in New Zealand, where tramping was part of school life, then through years of work and parenting that muted her spark. A pandemic mirror moment sent her back to dirt: sunrise hikes, then multi-day routes across Australia's red centre, where Indigenous stories and women's spaces shape how she moves through country. She takes us to Greenland's Arctic Circle Trail, tracing Inuit hunting paths from ice to sea, learning to read cairns, and soaking in a silence so complete it resets your nervous system.Threaded through every mile is a practical guide to hiking safety and self-reliance. Belinda breaks down wilderness first aid, recognizing the danger of core shivers, navigating when electronics fail, and why snakebite treatment differs between Australia and the U.S. She also shares a smart, sustainable way to fund long seasons on foot: house sitting. By caring for homes and pets, she and her partner remove lodging costs, cook real food, and settle into neighborhoods from Scotland to Spain. If tents aren't your thing, we explore hut-to-hut and inn-to-inn options across Europe and New Zealand's hut network, including Camino routes that keep packs light and spirits high.Come for the storm story; stay for the blueprint of a second act that blends grit, gratitude, and slow, immersive travel.

After three years of unpaid sacrifice at Hot 97, being fired and blackballed, repeatedly passed over for promotion, and ultimately losing her father to COVID, she had every reason to quit.

We sit down with Chris Duffin—engineer, world-record powerlifter, entrepreneur, and author of The Eagle and the Dragon—to unpack how real strength is built: by choosing meaningful pressure, not chasing comfort. Chris grew up homeless in the wilderness, learned to respect fear while holding live rattlesnakes, and later rebuilt his body and businesses after brutal setbacks. His thesis is simple and hard: specific adaptation to imposed demand applies to everything—bones, teams, mindsets, and companies.We dig into the Six Ps of resilience—Precipice, Plunge, Pit, Pull, Peak, Plateau—and how to use each phase instead of fighting it. Chris explains why motivation fades, values endure, and entrepreneurship only works when it's an expression of what matters most. We talk leadership that paints a visceral picture of now and next, micro-bravery that compounds into macro-capability, and the quiet courage of hard conversations that prepare you for big leaps. If you've ever felt stuck, his challenge is direct: turn into the pain, ask what you're avoiding, and take the smallest scary action this week.You'll hear how he returned from a devastating back injury to elite performance by owning the process, coordinating experts, and refusing limiting stories—and how a documented case of a double-quad reattachment led to a 700-pound deadlift in seven weeks. The takeaway is practical and liberating: most limits are stories repeated until they feel like physics. Rewrite the script with systems, accountability, and consistent action.If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

In a business world awash with endless content, few voices cut through the noise like Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. In this episode, we sit down with the co-founders of Military Creator Con, James Van Prooyen and Marah Lago, for a candid conversation about the untapped entrepreneurial potential of America's military veterans and their families. The three dive into the values, mindset, and experiences that position veterans as pioneering creator capitalists, explore the origin and purpose of Military Creator Con, and unpack the unique blend of community, grit, and creativity shaping this movement. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Veterans as America's Untapped Entrepreneurial Force One of the central themes in this conversation is the notion that military veterans embody many of the qualities that make great entrepreneurs. All three agree that the ability to problem-solve under pressure, think outside the box, and adopt a daring, “pirate mentality” are forged through military service as much as through business challenges. James shares firsthand how being tasked with mission-critical communication and IT projects in remote environments taught him to adapt quickly, improvise, and persist; skills invaluable to starting and growing any venture. Marah, coming from a creative civilian background, adds that seeing military spouses and families approach challenges with ingenuity and resilience gave her new appreciation for the community-oriented nature of military life. Both agree that, contrary to common stereotypes, the military is not merely an environment of rigid order-following. Instead, it is a crucible for innovation and resourcefulness, making veterans natural candidates for building businesses or leading creative projects. Building a Community of Military Creators Military Creator Con was born out of a desire to unite veterans, active duty, and military-connected families who were blazing trails in art, digital media, entrepreneurship, and beyond. James and Marah  recognized a gap for military creators and entrepreneurs: while the discipline and camaraderie of military service fostered community, transitioning out of uniform often led to a sense of isolation in the civilian creative or business worlds. They envisioned MCC as a gathering to break down those silos, offering a space to learn, share ideas, and collaborate freely. The event's spirit is deliberately inclusive, welcoming not only veterans but also their spouses, families, and anyone connected to military life. Attendees range from podcasters and artists to business founders and technologists. Workshops and keynote talks are designed to equip participants with practical skills in storytelling, marketing, AI, and social impact — delivering on the promise to empower military-connected visionaries to realize their entrepreneurial dreams while staying true to their roots. Lessons in Grit, Creativity, and Community Throughout the episode, the trio reflects on what sets this community apart. There is an acknowledgment that veterans, and the military world in general, are often filled with what Lochhead calls “misfits”: people who don't always fit into conventional molds and are thus drawn to forging new paths. This trait, they argue, is the beating heart of entrepreneurship and creator culture. MCC aims to harness this shared sense of adventure, service, and innovation, nurturing it through mentorship, new technology, and peer support. Stories about overcoming challenges, learning on the fly, and even embracing some chaos, like a good laugh about rationed whiskey or unscheduled road trips, underscore the theme that creativity thrives on adaptability and boldness. By tapping into these lived experiences, Military Creator Con is more than just an event; it's a movement rallying a diverse community to shape the narrative of what it means to create, lead, and make an impact after service. To hear more from James and Marah about the MCC, download and listen to this episode.  Bio James Van Prooyen and Marah Lago are the founders of Military Creator Con (MCC).  James Van Prooyen, a U.S. Air Force veteran, launched MCC in 2020 as a way to bring military-connected creators, such as podcasters, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs, together to share their experiences and grow their impact. Marah Lago, his wife and co-founder, serves as the CEO of MCC and has been instrumental in expanding the event into a national gathering focused on community, mentorship, and creative empowerment. The conference has grown significantly since its inception, with the 2026 edition scheduled for April 16–18, 2026, in Arlington, Texas.

Before we jump in, quick time out... This episode is not meant to become ammo in your next relationship debate. It's not for a husband to say, “See? This is what I've been telling you,” or for a wife to respond with, “Finally, someone said it.” That's not the heart behind this conversation.The goal here is to think differently about roles, responsibility, and how we show up for each other. It's about being open to feedback, owning our part, and building stronger partnerships... not keeping score. If this sparks a conversation at home, great. Just make sure it's a healthy one. Five Key Insights From This Conversation:This Isn't About Winning, It's About Owning Your Part - The goal isn't to weaponize the conversation. It's not “Here's what you need to fix.” It's “Where can I show up better?” Healthy relationships grow when both people focus on ownership, not scorekeeping. Roles Are About Responsibility, Not Hierarchy - Having a role doesn't mean superiority. It means stewardship. Leadership in the home isn't control. It's service. Creating space for leadership isn't shrinking, it's partnership.You Don't Get the Role Automatically, You Earn It - Just being a husband doesn't mean you're leading well. Leadership is built through initiative, consistency, and service. If you want to feel necessary, you have to show up in a way that makes you reliable and trustworthy. How Feedback Is Delivered and Received Changes Everything - Most conflict isn't about the issue itself — it's about how it's communicated. Defensiveness shuts growth down. Curiosity opens it up. Instead of reacting, try: “Help me understand what you mean.” That shift alone can change the tone of a marriage.Respect and Love Land Differently and That Matters - Men and women often experience connection differently. Many men feel loved when they feel trusted and respected. Many women feel secure when they feel emotionally supported and prioritized. Neither is wrong. But ignoring those differences creates drift. One TruthYou can't demand a better role in your relationship. You have to become someone worth trusting with it.

Send a textThe salt can make you or break you, and Rick White has lived on both sides of that line. From towing a $500 high school Corvette to Bonneville and setting a 151 mph record to piloting the first single-engine car beyond 400 mph, Rick's journey blends fearless engineering, family grit, and relentless problem-solving. Growing up at Nolan White's elbow and rooted in land speed racing, He watched his father enter the 200 MPH Club in 1963, he learned how to build speed from wood, steel, and stubborn ideas. We dig into the turning points that define land speed racing. Rick explains why he and Nolan built a rare four-wheel-drive streamliner in 1980 to fight traction loss, how blown fuel became their language, and what it took to sort a one-off machine aimed squarely at 400 mph. He breaks down the differences between SCTA and FIA records, why two-way runs collided with today's shorter, rougher salt, and the day parachute failure on a return run took his father's life. The conversation is raw, clear-eyed, and focused on what changed and what still drives him to innovate safely on the Bonneville Salt Flats. Then we go under the hood of Rick and his son Brad's current project: a competition coupe built around a tiny Honda 600 body to punch the smallest hole in the air. With a 540-cubic-inch blown-fuel big block, carefully set wheelbase, and a hand-formed aluminum nose, the car is aimed at a 305 MPH class record and a blue hat. Rick shares the fix that unlocked new pace—proper tank venting for a bigger fuel pump—and how a 257 mph El Mirage record proved the direction. His years in nostalgia top fuel, including March Meet and Hot Rod Reunion wins, and how the salt taught him how to be a better drag racer. If you love Bonneville history, four-wheel-drive streamliners, FIA records, and the hard math of traction, drag, and fuel delivery, this story hits all the marks. Tap play to hear a family legacy carried forward with craft, courage, and an unwavering eye on the next mile marker.

How does the wisdom and resilience of past generations shape our ability to succeed in today's rapidly changing world? In a world of rapid change and easy access to information, the younger generations often feel disconnected from the resilience forged by their predecessors. This disconnect raises important questions about how we can bridge the gap and keep the lessons of the past in mind as we move forward. Leonard Brody, a prominent entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author, shares his insights on the challenges faced by today's generation, the importance of resilience, and the role of entrepreneurs in shaping a better future.  He opens up about his own journey and the ways in which his family's experiences have shaped his worldview and approach to business. Leonard also discusses how the lack of direct experience with global-scale trauma in younger generations might affect their resilience and perspectives. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Leonard Brody to talk about the modern entrepreneurial landscape and the importance of bridging the gap between economic realities and personal resilience. The conversation touches on the role of entrepreneurs in addressing societal challenges and mitigating the risks of radicalization and economic disenfranchisement. Topics include: The profound impact of a knowledgeable mentor on one's career Balancing authenticity with reputation management Leonard reflects on early entrepreneurial challenges The role of luck and timing in achieving success Aligning business goals with personal life objectives Generational differences in worldview between older and younger entrepreneurs The responsibility of successful entrepreneurs in addressing societal gaps And other topics… Connect with Leonard: Website: https://hellocaravan.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lbrody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lbrody/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lbrody Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine  Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The voices telling you it won't work usually belong to people who never tried. Nobody gives you permission to take a chance. You just do it.Chris built a 50K MRR business without a formal education, a tech background, or a plan. As an actor, a car dealership paid him $400 to be in a commercial and he thought, "If I can pretend to do this, what happens if I just actually do it?"From there it was taking on teaching himself APIs, webhooks integrations, and enough failures to make most people quit. He's now responsible for 40% of some dealerships' bottom lines, working remotely from Ottawa, heading to Costa Rica.We talked about why people don't take that first step. Chris's take is it's mostly the room you're in. When you move somewhere nobody knows you, the risk calculus changes. The voices telling you you're going to look stupid usually belong to people who never left.We also got into social media, the throttled notification drip sequences designed to keep you coming back, the rage bait economy, the positive reinforcement loop that rewards the most outrageous behavior. His advice was simple: put your phone down and tackle your life goals head on.Chris also hosts Bad Hombres TV on YouTube.

Minnesota has become a national embarrassment because of massive government fraud — with federal investigators estimating up to $9 billion stolen across state programs.But what most people don't know is this:A bipartisan anti-fraud bill already passed the Minnesota Senate in 2025 with overwhelming support.It should have become law.Instead, House Democrat leadership — working with Governor Tim Walz — blocked it, gutted it, and tried to replace it with a weaker version under political control.In this video, State Representative Walter Hudson walks through the full timeline:• the bipartisan origins of the Office of Inspector General bill• how it advanced through both chambers• the moment House leadership killed it• and how Democrats are now trying to rewrite historyThis is a behind-the-scenes look at how legislative manipulation actually works — and why Minnesota still hasn't fixed its fraud crisis.Politics as usual only survives in darkness.This channel exists to turn on the lights.https://x.com/WalterHudson⬇️ Watch, think critically, and decide for yourself.

Today we're sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page, our exclusive live post-episode chat Mayim and Jonathan did with our special Substack community about the recent episode we did with Michael Singer, the renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Untethered Soul. While many enter 2026 with a "best year ever" mentality that can feel arbitrary or even off-putting, this discussion offers something more grounded: a simple and powerful mantra for when things go wrong—"I can handle this." How do we do that? We start by deconstructing the internal narratives that keep us in a reactive state. Mayim and Jonathan dive into the "most valuable sell" for anyone seeking peace: the realization that we don't need to "wake up" to a new reality, but rather stop putting ourselves back to sleep with our own "emotional garbage". But "I can handle this" is more than just a phrase; it's a way to influence our biology. Mayim explains that when we use our intellect to imagine something different, we are actually changing our physiology—altering our body's ability to heal, connect, and thrive. By leaning into this mantra, we stop the "animal part" of our brain from merely reacting to past programming and instead use our consciousness to navigate the world with choice. The live also explores: - The Myth of the Permanent High: Spiritual awakening is not a constant state of euphoria. It's about the "residue" you bring back from the mountaintop to handle the messy reality of traffic, technology fails, and human conflict. - The Sky Metaphor for Awareness: Peace and beauty are always available—like the sky—but we are often "unavailable" to notice them because we are fighting reality rather than acknowledging it. - Navigating the "Grit vs. Flow" Balance: A deep dive into the tension between the tenacity required to achieve goals and the spiritual wisdom required to read the "writing on the wall" when it's time to change course. - Micro-Deconstruction of Fear: Jonathan explains how to slow down a reactive moment to distinguish between a genuine lack of safety and a familiar "story" generated by past programming. - Acceptance as an Active Choice: How to move beyond "ignoring" or "suppressing" difficult feelings and instead learning to take the "signs of resistance" as vital information. This is a conversation about the intersection of neurobiology and ancient wisdom, providing a toolkit for anyone ready to stop fighting the universe and start handling whatever 2026 brings.

Why are young people today reporting the highest levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and despair in modern history?Dr. Angela Duckworth is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the world's leading voices on grit, self-control, and the science of thriving. In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Angela reflects on how her thinking about grit has evolved, where it's often misunderstood, and why perseverance without purpose can become harmful instead of helpful.They explore what excellence really looks like behind the scenes. Not the highlight reel, but the long stretch of deliberate practice and repeated effort that most people never see. Angela also reframes passion as something that develops over time, and offers a practical lens for staying committed when enthusiasm fades and outcomes take longer than expected.The conversation expands beyond performance into family life and parenting. They examine the cultural forces shaping today's youth: the rise of social media, the erosion of in-person connection, the displacement of nature, and the unintended consequences of modern parenting. Angela shares what the data actually shows about the mental health crisis, and what we as parents, educators, and leaders can do about it. In this episode, you'll learn:What grit really is, and what it isn't Why excellence comes from high-quality practice over timeHow passion develops slowly, and why it can be treated like a skillHow to stay committed when motivation fadesWhy environments shape kids more than pressure doesWhy young people's happiness has sharply declined since 2010What the research says about anxiety, depression, and loneliness in Gen ZHow screens and social disconnection may be reshaping well-beingPractical ways parents can create environments where kids can truly thrive________________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!

What separates resilient CEOs from reactive ones when crisis hits? In this powerful episode, Lisa Goldenthal breaks down the truth most leadership experts avoid: Adversity doesn't build character—it exposes it. When pressure rises, leaders don't rise to the occasion. They fall to the level of their systems. If you are a CEO, founder, executive, or high-performance leader navigating AI disruption, market volatility, or personal adversity, this episode delivers a practical blueprint for building real grit—not motivational hype. Inside this conversation, Lisa answers five critical leadership questions: • Does adversity build character—or expose it? • Do leaders truly rise in crisis—or default to their conditioning? • What is real grit in turbulent times? • Is your leadership prepared for disruption—or just hoping for stability? • How do you build impact-ready leadership before the crash happens? Through powerful stories, real-world business insights, and the BOSS Method™, Lisa outlines how elite leaders train for impact before impact arrives. You'll learn how to: • Regulate your emotional state under pressure (Boost EQ) • Protect and allocate executive energy strategically • Install a resilient mindset before disruption strikes • Practice self-leadership so your company doesn't depend on your mood to survive This episode explores leadership architecture, executive resilience, crisis management, emotional intelligence, CEO mindset, high-performance culture, and sustainable success in uncertain markets. If you want to build a company—and a leadership identity—that can withstand volatility, this is required listening. Subscribe to the podcast for more insights on CEO performance, strategic leadership, emotional mastery, and building organizations that scale without burning out their leaders. #Leadership #CEOLeadership #ExecutiveMindset #Resilience #EmotionalIntelligence #HighPerformance #CrisisLeadership #LisaGoldenthal
