In this episode, Chuck Thuss sits down with Mary Beth O'Connor for a candid, eye-opening conversation about survival, healing, and long-term recovery. After surviving a childhood marked by emotional neglect and severe abuse, Mary Beth fell into addiction at just twelve years old — eventually becoming a daily meth user by her teens.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore welcomes industry veteran Steve Roderick, the man behind Bozeman, Montana's Ridge Athletic. Steve began his career in the HALO sector serendipitously—thanks to a chance encounter in a Wyoming bar—Roderick talks about how his love for athletics fueled his vision to elevate community health and wellness. From building the Ridge from the ground up to navigating the constantly evolving landscape of Bozeman, he reflects on the importance of creating a multi-generational, welcoming environment, his strategies for growth, and the value of relationships—both inside the club and across the industry. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an operator, or a passionate member of the HALO sector, Steve's story is packed with insights on building culture, driving community impact, and staying ahead through collaboration. When it comes to the secret of building out a great team Roderick jokes, "If you're gonna run a business, the thing you need to do is hire people smarter than you. And I said, 'Well, that's gonna be easy!'" Key themes discussed Origins and evolution of Ridge Athletic. Strategic location and real estate development. Building brand equity and community presence. Facility design and member demo. Growth of Bozeman and regional opportunities. Creating strong company culture and staff retention. Importance of networking and industry learning. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Building from the Ground Up and Taking Risks: Roderick got his (very) unexpected start in the fitness club business when he was literally handed the keys to a 30,000 square foot facility in Wyoming that was going out of business. He didn't know much about running a gym but dove in, learned quickly, and eventually built his own fitness center from scratch in Bozeman. 2. The Importance of Location and Vision: When developing Ridge Athletic, Steve  chose a piece of land on the outskirts of Bozeman, trusting that the community would eventually grow around the facility. Over time, his vision proved spot-on, with Bozeman's expansion making The Ridge a hub of activity and fitness in the center of town. 3. Community and Brand Equity: Maintaining both a main facility and a satellite downtown location allowed The Ridge to reach diverse demographics and reinforce its presence. Steve recognized the value of building relationships in the business district while also expanding with a larger, flagship facility. 4. Creating a Welcoming Culture for Staff and Members: A key to The Ridge's success is the positive, team-driven culture Steve built for both employees and members. He focuses on hiring people who are passionate and smarter than himself, fostering an environment where staff feel respected and motivated, which translates to a better experience for members. 5. Catering to All Ages and Building for the Future: The Ridge is intentionally inclusive, offering programs and spaces for everyone—from children to seniors. He emphasizes that creating meaningful programming for kids encourages family memberships and helps foster lifelong fitness habits. He also stresses the need for continued professional growth and industry connection, citing the value of mastermind groups like REX Roundtable.

What happens when good intentions fade and old habits return? In the final week of From the Ground Up, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia walks through Nehemiah 13, where promises are broken, compromise creeps in, and God's people drift once again.  This closing message reminds us that while Nehemiah could rebuild walls, only Jesus can rebuild hearts.  Through Nehemiah's reforms, we learn how to get back on track — and why we ultimately need a Savior who can change us from the inside out. If you've ever fallen back into old patterns or struggled to keep the commitments you made to God, this message points you to hope, grace, and the true Rebuilder. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Jared Battles, to share the story behind our newest chapter together: opening Battles Jiu Jitsu. We reflect on how this idea moved from a quiet "what if" conversation to becoming a real, brick-and-mortar space rooted in purpose, faith, and community.   We talk about why jiu jitsu has played such a meaningful role in our lives, how our backgrounds in athletics, coaching, and service shaped the culture we want to create, and why building a family-centered training environment matters so much to us. From welcoming beginners to supporting women, kids, first responders, and hobbyists alike, our goal is to create a gym where people feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for—on and off the mats.   This conversation is about more than opening a gym. It's about practicing brave, trusting the redirects in life, and building something meaningful alongside the people we love most. If you've ever thought about starting something new, stepping into discomfort, or redefining what success looks like for your family, this episode is for you.   Learn More & Connect:  

In this episode of The Body Pod, we sit down with chiropractor and foot/gait expert Dr. Courtney Conley to explore why foot health is the foundation of strength, balance, mobility, and longevity—especially for midlife women. Many women experience chronic pain, plantar fasciitis, poor squat mechanics, and increased fall risk without realizing the feet play a critical role.We break down how modern footwear, weak feet, loss of sensory input, and overreliance on orthotics can disrupt movement patterns, pelvic stability, hormone regulation, and nervous system function. Dr. Conley explains the powerful connection between the feet, pelvis, core, and brain, and why rebuilding foot strength is essential for aging well, preventing injuries, and maintaining confidence in movement. This conversation delivers practical, realistic strategies for improving foot strength and mobility, including footwear choices, toe strength exercises, calf training, balance work, and safe transitions away from orthotics. Whether you're dealing with foot pain, instability, or want to build a stronger body from the ground up, this episode offers actionable insights to help women move better and stay resilient for decades.

Dr. Stephanie Valentine (University of Nebraska–Lincoln) joins Sharona and Boz to tell the origin story behind TeachFront—a grading-and-feedback platform she and her students built after getting buried in spreadsheets trying to make standards-based / ungrading-style systems work at scale.They dig into what shifted when grades stopped being “points to litigate” and became feedback for growth, what went wrong (and what finally worked) in those early semesters, and why most LMS gradebooks still force instructors to “hack” systems designed for averages. Stephanie explains how TeachFront supports iterative feedback, reassessments, flexible mastery scales (including specs-style checkboxes), and clearer student-facing progress visuals—without putting points front-and-center.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

What if our landscapes could think—not in the way machines think, but in the way ecosystems remember, adapt, and respond?In this episode of The Ground Up Podcast, Tim Sallin sits down with Lance Legel, founder of Ecodash and DeepEarth, to explore a bold and emerging frontier: ecological intelligence and the role of digital twins in reshaping how we design, manage, and steward land.Lance shares his journey at the intersection of software engineering, spatial systems, and ecology, and lays out a vision for digital tools that don't dominate nature, but listen to it. Together, Tim and Lance explore how ecological data, spatial modeling, and AI could help reveal hidden patterns in soils, plants, water, and climate—while also grappling honestly with the technical, ethical, and operational challenges of turning vision into reality.The conversation moves fluidly between big-picture systems thinking and practical questions: What does it mean to model living systems responsibly? Where do today's tools fall short? How do we avoid technological overreach while still embracing innovation? And what role should human judgment, humility, and place-based knowledge play alongside algorithms?This episode will resonate with anyone curious about the future of land stewardship, the promise and limits of technology, and how we might build tools that align more deeply with life—starting from the ground up.

What do you do after the rebuilding is finished — but you still feel spiritually empty? In week seven of From the Ground Up, Pastor David Gaunt takes us through Nehemiah 7–9, where God shows that restoring walls was never the end goal — restoring hearts was.  Through genealogies, worship, repentance, and revival, we see that God is the Promise Keeper who rebuilds more than structures… He rebuilds people. If you've ever felt discouraged, spiritually dry, or unsure of what God is doing in your life, this message will remind you: the God who rebuilds walls also restores hearts. - NEXT STEPS  Looking to take your next step?  We want to help!

VicNoTill president Michael Gooden describes stepping intothe paddocks of broadacre cropping farmer Brendan 'Patto' Pattison at Marrar NSW, as like stepping 10-15 years into the future and seeing what broadacre cropping systems have the potential to become. Michael sits in the tractor, ute and walks through Patto's paddocks for this Farmers Helping Farmers episode that brings real farm life to your ears, learning more about cropping and soil health in just over an hour than what he could in a decade."Whenever I visit Patto on farm, am blown away bywhat he's doing and how far he's taken it,” Michael says. “He is a quiet achiever and a true innovator. He is deeply knowledgeable about systems farming and where he wants to take his. In his own quiet way he has contributed a lot, not only to VicNoTill, but to Australian agriculture as a whole.”Brendan has a long history with innovation, being the first in their district in the NSW Riverina to use a disc seeder in 2007 as a way to gain more groundcover. He started minimum till 10 years prior to this, and gradually phased out sheep to go 100% cropping. He took a 'whole of system' approach to introducing the disc and has maintained that focus ever since.It has taken time for their system to click into placeand he says it has been a ‘pretty slow' journey for the dual benefit of improving soil quality without compromising profitability. After joining the board, Patto made big steps forward in his system by dropping synthetics out and putting more focus on biology. He says being involved with VicNoTill continually inspires him to further tweak his system and trial new things.Patto was a VicNoTill board member from 2018-2024. An indepth look at his farming system features in Issue 74 of VicNoTill's member magazine From the Ground Up. His presentation at the VicNoTill Carbon Power conference is available to watch on VicNoTill's You Tube channel.

Cyber resilience is no longer optional—it's mission-critical for every modern organization. As CFO of Commvault, Jennifer DiRico is helping shape the future of how companies protect, rebuild, and grow after cyber threats. In this episode, Jennifer opens up about her journey from working in her family's car wash to leading finance at one of the world's top data security and AI firms. She reflects on the decade-long ride at Toast that led to its IPO, the mentors who shaped her as a leader, and how she's driving durable growth at Commvault through innovation and trust. Jennifer also shares how she sees AI empowering—not replacing—finance professionals, and why understanding the “why” behind the numbers is the real hallmark of great financial leadership.

The Mashgiach explains how all growth begins at the ground level and by harnessing the potential stored within it.

A brand-new house isn't supposed to be haunted. But what if it's not the house at all… what if it's the ground beneath it? When a young girl's family builds their dream home in a quiet New Jersey village, the past refuses to stay buried. It begins with laughter in the dark — cruel, mocking voices that echo from an empty room. Years later, it returns in a far more chilling form: the familiar figure of her mother, silently leading her down the stairs… into something waiting below. Decades later, the memories haven't faded. The land still hums with energy, the lights still flicker when she walks by, and the sense of being followed never truly left. Because some houses don't need history to be haunted — only a place for the unknown to take root. #RealGhostStories #HauntedHouse #NewJerseyHaunting #ParanormalEncounters #Doppelganger #GhostlyLaughter #HauntedChildhood #IndianBurialGround #TrueGhostStory #ShadowEntity #OuijaPortal #BasementGhost Love real ghost stories?

From the Ground Up | Nehemiah Pt. 5 | Carlo Mendoza | Sunrise Church CA What do you do when the biggest threat to your progress isn't coming from the outside — but from within? In week five of From the Ground Up, Pastor Carlo Mendoza takes us into Nehemiah 5, where internal conflict nearly derails the rebuilding project.  In this powerful message, we discover that finishing well requires courage to confront what's wrong, wisdom to examine our motives, and humility to build a legacy that honors God and serves others.

In this episode, I sit down with Wojciech Kaszycki — serial entrepreneur, business angel behind 19+ ventures, and the mind behind both Mobilium and BTCS.Wojciech shares how he went from building one of Poland's earliest e‑commerce platforms to pioneering fintech and crypto infrastructure. We explore why his teams focus on building real, regulated bridges between traditional finance and digital assets — not just hype.We dig into how Mobilium plans to let you use Bitcoin as collateral to spend or borrow against, and how BTCS builds a treasury + validator network to bring yield and Web3 services to a wider audience.He also gives practical advice for founders and investors: why a crowded “yes” may be a warning sign — and why sometimes it's the weird, rejected ideas that deserve to be built.If you care about honest, long-term crypto infrastructure and what it takes to build it — this one's for you.It would mean a lot if you can leave a review of this podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify — and share this podcast with a friend.

Lack of skepticism could mean low barriers to entry and limited upside. 00:03:00My path: from building Poland's “Amazon‑like” e‑commerce to fintech and eventually entering crypto — bridging traditional finance with digital assets. 00:06:00With Mobilium, we don't just offer a crypto card — we hold real lending licenses so users can borrow against their Bitcoin without selling it. 00:11:00Mobilium's revenue comes from service fees on on‑ramps/off‑ramps, interchange fees from cards, and interest on crypto‑collateral loans. 00:13:00When building products — don't just build what you think is best. Test with real users. But beware: too many opinions can derail focus. 00:18:00BTCS combines a crypto treasury, staking/validator infrastructure, and smart yield strategies — aiming to grow with the value of crypto, not just fiat. 00:22:00Key metrics for BTCS: monthly reward ratio (yield vs net asset value) and compound growth of net asset value per share. 00:28:00Sometimes you're just early — don't be afraid to fail.

What do you do when the work gets heavy, the opposition rises, and you feel like quitting? In week four of From the Ground Up, Lead Pastor Steve Garcia takes us into Nehemiah 3–4, where the people of God rebuild the walls of Jerusalem while facing exhaustion, discouragement, and growing attacks.  Through their story, we learn that God strengthens us when we engage, emboldens us when we remember who He is, and leads us forward when prayer fuels obedience.

On today's episode, we're talking with investigative journalist Ross Halperin about his new book Bear Witness: The Pursuit of Justice in a Violent Land. Ross takes us on a fascinating journey from academic research on impunity—the unsolved homicides plaguing American cities—to Honduras, where he discovers an unexpected solution. We dig into why the US solve rate for murders hovers around 60% compared to over 90% in other wealthy democracies, and spoiler alert: it's not about more surveillance or militarization. The real issue is witness testimony, and that requires trust. Ross introduces us to Kurt and Carlos, whose charity work proves that community trust, built through years of genuine service and investment, is the key to bridging the gap between communities and law enforcement. We talk about how faith animates their work without being preachy, the humility required to stay open to criticism, and why top-down solutions often miss what actually moves people to speak up. It's a conversation about what it means to bear witness—not just to tell a story, but to show up and be trusted. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Ross Halperin is an investigative journalist and author of Bear Witness: The Pursuit of Justice in a Violent Land. A Harvard University graduate, he worked on Wall Street before transitioning to research on criminal justice, where he worked under Mark A.R. Kleiman, one of the world's leading criminal-justice scholars. His interest in unsolved homicides and systemic violence grew from this research, which revealed that the United States has dramatically lower murder solve rates than comparable wealthy democracies. That research led Halperin to a presentation by Kurt Biehl at a summit organized by criminologist David Kennedy, sparking a years-long investigation into how one community in Central America tackled violence through trust-building and faith. Bear Witness is the result of his embedded reporting in Honduras, exploring how real change happens not through top-down mandates, but through patient commitment to community relationships. Halperin's own commitment to community building is evident in his work closer to home as well—he led a campaign to reconstruct the library in his hometown, reflecting his belief in the power of institutions and gathering spaces. ⁠UPCOMING ONLINE ADVENT CLASS w/ Diana Butler Bass⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join us for a transformative four-week Advent journey exploring how the four gospels speak their own revolutionary word against empire—both in their ancient context under Roman occupation and for our contemporary world shaped by capitalism, militarism, and nationalism.  This course invites you into an alternative calendar and rhythm.

What do you do when something feels too broken to fix? In week three of From the Ground Up, Pastor Steve Garcia walks through Nehemiah 2:10–20, where Nehemiah inspects the ruins of Jerusalem and begins rallying the people to rebuild.

In this week's special episode of the This week in global development podcast, filmed at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, and hosted in partnership with CropLife International, we explore the expanding role of agricultural innovation — including advances in plant science, crop protection, biotechnology, and digital and precision tools — in helping farmers adapt to climate stress and maintain productivity. Devex Executive Editor Kate Warren speaks with Laurie Goodwin, vice president of public affairs and communications at CropLife International, about how innovation and open trade can work together to build climate-resilient food systems. The episode also introduces a new practical guide that compiles global examples of policy approaches that strengthen sustainable agricultural growth and support climate, productivity, and resilience goals. Across the discussion, the importance of collaboration among governments, the private sector, and farmers is emphasized as essential for delivering measurable on-the-ground outcomes — not only at COP30, but across the wider set of global forums connecting climate, trade, and food security agendas. To hear more, listen to this conversation with Laurie Goodwin on this special podcast episode of This Week in Global Development.
