In this powerful episode, guest minister Joshua Adams challenges us with a timely word: Are you persistent in prayer? Consistent in your confession?

In this episode of THE MENTORS RADIO, Host Tom Loarie talks with Mai Nguyen, PhD, the remarkable 36-year-old neuroscientist who is the co-founder and CEO of OptoCeutics and the inventor of EVY LIGHT®, a breakthrough light-based therapy aimed at slowing the progression of Alzheimer's and other memory disorders. Her journey is anything but ordinary. Born in Vietnam, raised in California as the youngest of nine children in a struggling family, she spent her childhood at a local Flea Market and then went on to earn a PhD in neuroscience. But it was a "chance" conversation with a Danish professor that changed her life, and quite likely the lives of millions who will benefit from her decision. In this episode, you'll explore the science behind Dr. Mai Nguyen's light therapy innovation, her deeply personal and unlikely entrepreneurial journey and the powerful values that have guided her. This is a conversation about courage, healing and what it means to be a leader with heart and grit.  Listen to THE MENTORS RADIO podcast anywhere, any time, on any platform, including Spotify and Apple, just click here!

What if the very thing holding your law firm back… is you? In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill tackle three of the most common (and costly) growth blockers law firm owners face — shiny object syndrome, unproductive comparisons, and the belief that “no one can do it like I can.” If your firm has plateaued, if you're burning cash on a bloated team, or if you've convinced yourself that scaling personal touch is impossible, this conversation will hit home. It's not about working harder — it's about thinking smarter. Here's what you'll learn: Why adding new practice areas too early can hurt your firm and what to do instead How to tell if your firm is overstaffed or simply underperforming What it really takes to grow a relationship-driven firm without relying only on yourself You don't need more practice areas, fewer people, or a copy of yourself to grow. You need the discipline to focus, the courage to optimize, and the humility to let go. ---- 00:00 – Intro 08:11 – Why diversifying too early stalls growth instead of driving it 10:15 – The hidden cost of chasing new ideas without follow-through 11:38 – How to find untapped growth by maximizing what you already have 14:35 – Headcount comparison traps: When cutting costs is the wrong move 15:04 – The performance gap between A players and everyone else 18:07 – The “no one can do it like me” mindset that keeps founders from scaling 20:23 – Letting go of ego: How Michael discovered others could do it better ---- Links & Resources: James Clear – Author of Atomic Habits Athletic Greens (AG1) Dude Wipes Under Armour ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

In this powerful episode, April interviews Jenny Wood, a former Google leader turned coach and author of The Chase. After 18 years at Google, Jenny shares her bold leap into entrepreneurship, the fear she had to conquer, and the hard truths about self-promotion and rejection. The conversation dives deep into managing negative self-talk, learning from failure, and scaling a business without losing your soul. If you've ever wrestled with imposter syndrome or struggled to ask for what you're worth—this episode is your playbook. Key Takeaways: Why fear of asking is often rooted in our self-worth stories How to turn rejection into fuel for growth and not shame The FLIP framework to know when it's time to pivot “Good enough” is often the secret to moving forward How to blend corporate polish with entrepreneurial grit Tactical strategies for shameless (and effective) self-promotion Creative ways to scale one-on-one coaching into broader impact Why failure is not only necessary—but worth celebrating How to stop maximizing and start satisficing for better decisions Why courageous decisions often come from personal pain Action Steps: Write down one fear-based belief you're telling yourself and reframe it. Practice shameless self-promotion—highlight your wins publicly. Identify one project or role that's no longer aligned, and use FLIP to evaluate it. Set a timer and reach out to one person about your business, product, or offer. Quote: "Success doesn't come from avoiding rejection—it comes from surviving it and rewriting the story you tell yourself about it."

In a world that glorifies talent and quick wins, this episode of Paradigm Shifting Books offers a refreshing take on what true success requires. Stephen and Britain Covey revisit Angela Duckworth's Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, exploring how real achievement isn't about being born gifted; it's about loving what you do enough to keep showing up.Through personal stories, from NFL training to parenting challenges, they unpack Duckworth's core message: grit is the blend of long-term passion and perseverance. It's not about grinding for the sake of it, but about aligning your effort with what matters most.They challenge the myth of talent, reflect on how passion develops gradually through exploration, and offer honest insights about raising resilient kids in a world that wants to cushion every fall. They also explore how grit doesn't diminish happiness; it deepens it. When your effort aligns with your values, fulfillment follows.Whether you're navigating your own career path, helping your kids build resilience, or simply trying to stay consistent with your goals, this episode will shift how you think about success. Grit isn't just about surviving the hard days; it's about being fueled by purpose through all of them.

It's not just about brute force; it's more about loving what you do for a very long time.” — Angela Duckworth[05:27] “The development of a passion is probably a better way to phrase this process than the discovery of a passion. Most of us grow into, develop, mature, and evolve into our eventual passions.” — Angela Duckworth[14:17] “So much of our success in life is really about what we do and not about what we were born with. It's the long, hard road to climb, but that's the truth of it.” — Angela Duckworth[29:49] “Happiness and grit are compatible.

Staying the same is easy. It's cozy, it's familiar, and it doesn't ask much of us. But what if that comfort is quietly holding you back from who you're really meant to be? In this episode of the Grit Meets Growth podcast, we're diving into the tug-of-war between comfort and growth. From personal stories about stepping out of the air-conditioned house into the heat, to breaking old habits that no longer serve us, we're talking about what it takes to stop tolerating the status quo and start chasing the version of yourself you haven't met yet. If you've ever felt stuck, knowing what you should do but not doing it, this one's for you. Let's get into it. Five insights from this epsiode: Staying the same is easy, but it costs you everything. Comfort demands nothing from you, but it quietly robs you of your potential, your purpose, and your growth.Discipline is the bridge between knowing and doing. You already know what you need to do. Discipline is what moves you from intention to action, especially when motivation fades. Small changes create massive momentum. Transformation doesn't start with a giant leap. It starts with showing up, taking the first step, and building consistent habits.Who you surround yourself with determines how far you go. Growth accelerates in community. Accountability and encouragement from the right people push you further than you can go alone.Becoming who you're meant to be means letting go of who you've been. Change is uncomfortable. You might outgrow relationships, habits, or routines. That's the price of becoming the best version of yourself. ONE TRUTH: Staying the same feels safe, but it's slowly stealing your potential. Growth demands discomfort, discipline, and change. If you want to become who you're meant to be, you have to stop choosing easy.

In this episode of The Authority Company Podcast, host Joe Pardavila sits down with entrepreneur and oilman Rich Tabaka, author of How to Invest in Oil: Stories, Insights, and Strategic Recommendations from an Oil Entrepreneur.Rich isn't your typical oil tycoon—he's a first-generation American who left the construction industry to dive headfirst into oil exploration in, of all places, Kansas. They talk about Rich's blue-collar upbringing, his transition from construction to energy, and what really goes into drilling a well—beyond just the technical know-how.Rich walks listeners through how anyone (well, any accredited investor) can get involved in oil, the unexpected advantages of drilling in Kansas, and why transparency and integrity are at the core of his company, Allied. Joe and Rich also get into the risks of dry wells, oil price volatility, and even the old-school superstitions that still float around the industry.Rich opens up about how a bad first investment—complete with fraud and a now-imprisoned CEO—taught him lessons that shaped his future. And while the oil biz might not be for everyone, Rich is passionate about the opportunities it can offer—financially and personally.He closes by reflecting on the motivation behind his book's dedication to his young sons, hoping to pass on the same entrepreneurial spirit that brought his family to America.

In this episode of the East Coast Elite series, we sit down with Brian Trowbridge, VP of Sales at FireHydrant, to explore the brutal truths of startup life. From making high-stakes decisions with limited runway to navigating board dynamics and founder alignment, Brian unpacks what it really takes to succeed in an early-stage company. We dive deep into how he evaluated FireHydrant before joining, what he looks for in founders and boards, and how sales leaders should think about burn rate, valuations, and growth expectations. If you're in sales and considering a startup role, this episode is a must-watch.  

When things get hard, you push harder; when you fail, you get back up stronger; when you don't see results, you don't get discouraged, but you just continue to pound away day, after day, after day, with relentlessness, consistency, heart, and passion—that's grit.

Send us a textOkay so… you know how you sometimes hear someone drop a sentence like, “Oh, I can't make it that week; I'll be racing horses across Mongolia,” and you're like WAIT WHAT NOW? That's basically been me for years every time my friend Callie King casually mentions her life.So in this episode, I finally scratch that itch and go full nosy bitch mode. Because Callie is one of those people who lives so boldly and so intentionally that you kinda want to hate her, except she's also really chill and generous and has zero ego about it. Like, this woman has lived in a Chevy Tracker with her dog, owns multiple income properties, built an adobe house in Mexico by hand, and manifested a partner straight off her dream board. And she makes it all look effortless.But here's the thing. None of this happened because she was born rich or “just lucky.” It's mindset. It's values. It's choosing freedom over fear, again and again and again.We talk about how to make bold, “unreasonable” choices even when your bank account says nope, how to check yourself when you're operating from hustle-and-grind scarcity mode, and what it actually means to create a life that feels like yours.This episode is a wake-up call, but like, the loving kind. The kind with pancakes and a puppy and a side of "You're capable of so much more than this."What's Inside:How Callie built a wildly unconventional life (without a trust fund or tech-bro energy)Why your mindset around money might be what's actually keeping you stuckThe difference between taking action from fear vs. fun (and why it matters)What it really looks like to manifest a partner (hint: she didn't just light a candle and hope)So, yeah. If you've been dreaming about selling everything, living in a treehouse, or just getting the hell out of a life that no longer fits, this might be the episode you didn't know you needed.Spoiler alert: You don't need a five-year plan. You just need to start.Mentioned In This Episode:HorseClass on FacebookHorseClass on InstagramCallie on InstagramByron Katie's “The Work”Dr. Joe DispenzaOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Our ancestors thrived on struggle; we wilt from inconvenience. The Comfort Crisis author Michael Easter shows how embracing discomfort builds resilience.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1186What We Discuss with Michael Easter:Modern comfort crisis: We've engineered physical activity and challenges out of our lives, leading to sedentary diseases and reduced mental resilience — but our bodies and minds still need discomfort to thrive.Discomfort as medicine: Physical effort, hunger, and temperature swings protect against disease by triggering beneficial adaptations — 80 percent of eating today is driven by boredom or stress, not actual hunger.Transferable toughness: Mental resilience built through physical challenges transfers to other life areas — like how overcoming a difficult hike builds confidence to tackle career or relationship obstacles.Nature's measurable benefits: The "25-3 rule" — 20 minutes in city parks three times a week reduces stress; five hours monthly in wilder nature increases happiness; three days yearly off-grid resets priorities.Start with a two percent mindset: Only two percent of people take stairs when escalators exist. Begin building discomfort tolerance with small daily choices — take stairs, walk during calls, sit on the floor while reading.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!
