Podcasts about grown up

Note: this episode was recorded in May 2025. We're back like we left something ©️ Freeway!It's not that serious, but still. For our semi-grand return, we link up with Author and Journalist, Ben Pedroche, to talk about one of our favourite subjects: Indie Hip Hop. Ben's new book, Independent as Fuck: Underground Hip-Hop from 1995-2005, was released by Velocity Press in May 2025. The book looks back at this golden era, celebrating the most important artists, record labels, 12” records, and albums, along with the stories behind them, while also shining a light on those who have since been forgotten. We caught up with Ben to discuss how the book came together, his favourite indie labels and much more.

Brad Feld has spent over 40 years building companies, mentoring founders, and investing in the startup ecosystem. He's the co-founder of Techstars, a prolific venture capitalist, and the author of nine books. In this episode, Brad opens up about the mental reset that came with turning 60, why he stopped chasing “more,” and what led him to dust off a book draft about mentorship that had been sitting on the shelf. We go deep into his new book Give First, his belief in non-transactional generosity, and why he thinks founders should lead from curiosity, not ego.Brad also shares what went wrong at Techstars, what it taught him about founder empathy, and how he thinks about legacy in a world where everything is temporary.Where to find Brad:feld.comGive First (book) Timestamps: (00:00) Why Brad chose to go into hibernation (03:36) How stepping back gave him a 9-to-5 for the first time (06:58) Returning to code and reading 3 books a week (08:05) The four things Brad actually loves (10:11) Not striving, not optimizing: a new mindset for a new decade (13:14) The messy journey of writing Give First (15:08) Feedback that reshaped the book (17:34) Techstars' awkward teenage years (19:59) Coming out of hibernation, temporarily (23:32) Alter egos: Brad the Book Salesman, Vlad, and Spike (29:14) The pain of watching Techstars struggle publicly (34:30) How founder empathy deepened after Techstars' turbulence (36:28) What Give First really means and what it does not (38:49) Positive-sum, multi-turn thinking (41:34) Why tennis is the perfect metaphor for long-term success (45:00) Give First as the startup community engine (48:21) Mentorship without expectations (50:07) Socratic questioning and the five whys (54:00) Diagnosing startup fundraising problems (56:32) Being open to randomness (58:57) The power of short assignments and low-stakes access (01:04:28) Why Brad keeps writing: to learn (01:07:14) What he wishes he knew earlier (01:10:34) Advice for founders stepping into leadership (01:12:38) Mortality, meaning, and option valueIn this episode, you'll learn:How Give First evolved from a Techstars mantra into a movementThe difference between mentorship and adviceWhy and how being a giver pays off How to set boundaries while still being responsiveWhat makes founder relationships thrive or breakWhy being open to randomness can change everythingHow to navigate difficult company phases with empathyWhat Brad believes really matters in the third act of lifeConnect with Alisa!

Everyone needs to grow up in life and as a Christian. Babies, both natural and newborn Christians, should be a great blessing. But it's not a blessing if they stay babies. They need to grow up strong and healthy. One of the root problems of modern Christianity is what Juan Carlos Ortiz has described as ‘The permanent childhood of the believer.'  The New Testament Epistles are full of exhortations to help us grow up in Christ, and the apostle Paul described this as the whole purpose of his ministry (Colossians 1:28). He understood that the various leadership roles in the church were to equip and mature the church (Ephesians 4:12-14; 1 Corinthians 13:11). Every Christian needs to grow up in our knowledge of God, in love, in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, in perseverance and in becoming more like Jesus. Of course, newly born-again Christians need a lot of care, attention, encouragement, protection, and direction. That's why we need mature disciples, both older and younger, to act like a spiritual mum and dad to help those new to faith. New believers often have a lot of questions as so much is so different to anything they have known before. They need established Christians to accept them, be patient with them and give all the answers that they can. We should never put heavy burdens and unrealistic expectations and goals on new Christians. But we can and should expect every true Christian to grow up from spiritual infancy. We see three practical areas where every Christian needs to move from immaturity to maturity:   1. We need to grow up from being unable to walk to be being able to stand strong (Ephesians 4:14; James 4:7; Ephesians 6:12-13; 1 John 2:14).  2. We need to grow up from being fed milk to be able to receive meat (1 Corinthians 3:1-2; Hebrews 5:12-14,6:1-3) 3. We need to grow up from being out of control to becoming self-controlled (Galatians 5:23; Titus 2:11-12; Psalm 34:12-13; James 3:5, James 1:26) Apply  1. We need to grow up from being unable to walk to be being able to stand strong. Immaturity - unable to walk: A baby can't hold themselves up. A toddler keeps falling over. Baby Christians too stumble over the same problems and temptations (Ephesians 4:14). Immature Christians are unstable and prone to falling over. A new immature Christian can be easily confused and disorientated. So we must train each Christian to know how to stand. Maturity - able to stand: It's amazing how quickly a baby learns to stand. It's equally wonderful to see new Christians rapidly becoming secure in their faith in Jesus. A mature Christian trusts in Christ not in themselves, is one who can resist the Devil and see him flee from you (James 4:7). A mature Christian has learned to stand their ground during trials and temptations (Ephesians 6:12-13). You know you are growing in your faith when you are no longer ruled by your feelings and circumstances. You no longer worry when people criticise you since they only have power over you if you accept their negativity. You don't panic when Satan sends noisy thunder and dramatic lightning your way. Why? Because You know how to find your refuge, your safe place, in the promises of God's word that He will never leave you or forsake you, and that the Lord will always hear your cry. You don't have to be old or a long-time Christian to develop an ability to stand strong in your confidence in Jesus who has conquered sin, Satan, death, and hell at the Cross (1 John 2:14).   2. We need to grow up from being fed milk to be able to receive meat Immaturity - must be fed milk: (1 Corinthians 3:1-2). Spiritual babies only want what they can easily digest. They only eat small portions of the word of God, only texts that make them feel good. Baby Christians want to be comforted not challenged, entertained rather than enlightened. They want only to receive the good promises of prosperity and good life without much of God's life and the challenges of denial, discipline, and discipleship. They don't want in depth Bible teaching (Hebrews 5:12,6:1-3). One of the key signs of an immature Christian is incomplete repentance. A Christian may keep getting into trouble because they have never truly, totally, and thoroughly repented with tears and a conviction that only Jesus can give the cleansing and forgiveness that they need. Maturity - able to nourish self on meat: (Hebrews 5:13-14). Being mature is understanding that God is righteous, and that we need to be made righteous through the blood of His son Jesus Christ and our faith in Christ alone. By ourselves we cannot live right as we should (Romans 3:10). A mature Christian, however, can discern the difference between good and evil. A mature Christian has a keen sense of what is right and wrong, not simply saying ‘well everyone has their own opinion'. A mature Christian is upright in their business dealings and in the way they treat others and is someone who seeks first Christ's kingdom and His righteousness. If you are living right, doing right, and are not living self-righteously but righteously through Christ, then you are for sure maturing in your faith.   3. We need to grow up from being out of control to becoming self-controlled Immaturity - little self-control: In real life babies are not noted for their self-control, especially regarding the bladder! They don't care. They are babies. And if they feel sick then they just go and throw up. Such behaviour, although clearly objectionable and messy, is considered permissible simply because babies do what babies do. But these are not endearing traits when babies grow older. Yet in the church, many Christians have never been potty trained. They just do what they want, say what they want to whom they want, when they want, and are not much bothered what mess they cause. There is little evidence of restraint in their lives. Lack of self-control may be seen in that they do not control their tongue, their temper, their passions, or their spending. This is nothing but immaturity. Maturity - modelling self-control: Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:23). A Spirit filled mature Christian is someone who has learnt to control his passions (Titus 2:11-12). To be a grown-up Christian you can't sleep around but must control your sexual appetites. To be a grown-up Christian you must rule your money, not spend it just by impulse. To be a grown-up Christian you can't lose your temper because someone or something displeases you. You must rule your actions and reactions. And not least to be a grown-up Christian you must control your mouth (Psalm 34:12-13). An uncontrolled tongue can cause great damage (James 3:5, James 1:26).   So having considered three practical areas where we need to grow up, we need to stand strong, learn to receive meat, and live self-controlled lives. So how are you doing and what do you need to change to become a grown-up Christian? Pray asking for the Lord's forgiveness and the help of the Holy Spirit.

Ps Joey begins with reading from Thessalonoians. She tells us that science has shown that gratitude can bring good things. She describes these. She provides four points on how we can express our gratitude in practice to bring blessings to God and to others. And ourselves! God is good.

Everyone needs to grow up in life and as a Christian. Babies, both natural and newborn Christians, should be a great blessing. But it's not a blessing if they stay babies. They need to grow up strong and healthy. As Christians we rejoice that God's son humbly came to earth as a vulnerable baby, but it was only when Jesus grew up that He could fulfil the great purpose of His life. Even at an early age the Bible records the growth of Jesus (Luke 2:52). God is the God of growth (Isaiah 9:7; Genesis 1:27-28). The parable of the mustard seed shared by Jesus speaks of exponential growth in the Kingdom of God (Matthew 13:31-32).  In the Christian church both, locally and universally, God wants the church to multiply numerically, but He also wants every Christian to grow up in their faith, in their character, in their ministry and in every stage of life (Psalm 92:12-14). Our new series focusses on how we can develop from spiritual infancy into mature and fruitful disciples of Jesus and how in turn we can train others also to become grown up disciples.   One of the root problems of modern Christianity is what Juan Carlos Ortiz in his classic book “Disciple” (see also Warren Wiersbe "Be Mature" and Arthur Wallis "On To Maturity"). Sadly, today there are Christians who seem to have stopped growing in their Christian lives. Despite years of teaching, fellowship, prayer, conferences and meetings, they remain childish in the way they talk, think, act and react. What they want is to be constantly pampered, spoon fed, consoled, cosseted, and cleaned up when they have made a mess. What they need however, as opposed to what they want, is not prayer or deliverance or counselling but simply this: they need to grow up!   This issue of spiritual maturity is nothing new. The Epistles are full of exhortations to help us grow up in Christ (Colossians 1:28). Paul aimed for more than the maturity of individual believers: He wanted to see the entire church mature. He understood that the various leadership roles in the church were to equip and mature the church (Ephesians 4:12-14). Over the coming weeks we will be looking at some of the practical ways that God intends for us to mature both individually and collectively, but first we see some major areas we need to grow in:   1. Grow in our understanding of God (Colossians 1:9-10; 2 Peter 3:18) 2. Grow in love (John 13:35; 1 Corinthians 13:4-7; Ephesians 4:15-16; Ephesians 4:2,31-32; 1 Thessalonians 3:12) 3. Grow in the anointing of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18 4. Grow in perseverance (James 1:2-4; 2 Peter 1:5-8) 5. Grow in Christ likeness (Exodus 34:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18) Apply  1. Grow in our understanding of God (Colossians 1:9-10; 2 Peter 3:18). As new Christians we may know very little about God. But as we read His Word and experience His grace, we learn so much more about God. We grow in our understanding of the righteous and loving character of God; we discover that God is for us and not against us; we learn that we don't have to be shaped by the storms and circumstances of life but that we can rest secure that God is faithful to all His promises and that He works everything for the good of those who love Him; and we become more aware that Jesus is not just a figure of history but a living reality who we can know as our saviour from sin, our best friend, our greatest guardian and guide. And as we grow in our knowledge of God, we lose our fear and grow in faith. That's what God wants for every Christian. We are not to stay as infants with little understanding but to continually grow in our knowledge of our good and great God.  2. Grow in love. Love is the central message of Christianity. God is love and He so loved the world that He gave His only son Jesus to save us from sin and destruction. Today He wants to show His love through His body on earth. The church is called to model love in a world of hate. Sadly, many times people have been turned off church because they have encountered nastiness, judgmentalism and harshness in the church. However, Jesus told His disciples that they needed to work through their differences and work at loving one another (John 13:35). Love is not just an emotion (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Paul certainly believed in the importance of spiritual gifts like prophecies and the necessity of helping the poor, but he said that without love, he would gain nothing. As Christians we all have a responsibility to speak with love and build the church up with love (Ephesians 4:15-16). What does this mean in practice? See Ephesians 4:2,31-32. We each have to move on from being a me centred baby to being a grown-up carer for others (1 Thessalonians 3:12).  3. Grow in the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit makes Jesus real to us and equips us to serve God. On the Day of Pentecost, the apostles received the powerful anointing of the Holy spirit but that was just a beginning. The book of Acts of the Apostles shows how they grew in their anointing of the Holy spirit as they boldly preached the gospel and saw miracles of healing and deliverance. It is not sufficient just to start out in Christian life and ministry with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, being continually filled (Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18). The Greek verb tense used indicates a present continuous action, rather than a one-time event. So are we growing in our fellowship with the Holy Spirit? Are we exercising spiritual gifts with more authority? Is there a noticeable increase of the anointing of the Holy spirit in our lives and on our ministries? Every day we must value the anointing of the Holy Spirit, not grieving the Spirit by our words and actions so that God can increasingly move in power through us.   4. Grow in perseverance (James 1:2-4). Few people like to go through tough times, yet it is in such seasons that we are forced to choose whether to grow up in our faith or give up. Trials, where we learn to depend on God and not on ourselves or our emotions, help us to develop in our spiritual maturity. When we persevere and remain steadfast in the face of strong winds we learn, as an old hymn says, to ‘trust in Jesus and to take Him at His word.' We develop an inner spiritual and emotional toughness and an ability to endure in all situations. Instead of crying like babies in distress, we become confident that the Lord will give us peace and grace for every situation (2 Peter 1:5-8).  5. Grow in Christ likeness (Exodus 34:29). The more we spent time developing our relationship with the Lord through worship, prayer, knowing God's word and seeking to live holy lives, the more we will become like the Lord. There will come a greater transparency, a greater serenity, a greater beauty. People will literally be able to see and sense more of Jesus in us (2 Corinthians 3:18). So how are you doing in your Christian development? How much are you growing in your knowledge of God, in love, in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, in perseverance and in becoming more like Jesus? Well don't be worried or discouraged. God who has begun a good work in you plans to bring it to completion. You too can become a far more mature and fruitful Christian than you may have ever imagined.

Instead of crying like babies in distress, we become confident that the Lord will give us peace and grace for every situation (2 Peter 1:5-8).  5. Grow in Christ likeness (Exodus 34:29). The more we spent time developing our relationship with the Lord through worship, prayer, knowing God's word and seeking to live holy lives, the more we will become like the Lord. There will come a greater transparency, a greater serenity, a greater beauty. People will literally be able to see and sense more of Jesus in us (2 Corinthians 3:18). So how are you doing in your Christian development? How much are you growing in your knowledge of God, in love, in the anointing of the Holy Spirit, in perseverance and in becoming more like Jesus? Well don't be worried or discouraged. God who has begun a good work in you plans to bring it to completion. You too can become a far more mature and fruitful Christian than you may have ever imagined.

In this episode of Parents Who Think, Danusia Malina-Derben joins Ken Mossman for a layered and moving conversation about modern masculinity, emotional maturity, and what it means to be an integrated man. Ken brings wit and wisdom to topics most men were never taught to face: how to play, how to feel, and how to take responsibility without shame or performance. They explore why so many men exile parts of themselves, like their inner child or rebellious adolescent, and what's possible when those voices are finally welcomed home. Ken also shares what it looks like to meet children where they are, and how one moment with his four-year-old son changed everything he thought he knew about parenting. This is not your typical fatherhood talk. It's about presence, power, and the radical responsibility of being a fully formed human, on purpose.

Galatians 3:23-29 - Children of God 23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. 26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Key Verses: Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43

Jonathan Wolf is the co-founder and CEO of ZOE, the science-based nutrition company using data to transform how people eat. In this candid conversation, he joins Alisa to explore what it takes to build a mission-driven company, how to lead with more clarity and transparency, and why the way we eat is more broken and more fixable than most people think.ZOE's origin story is as unconventional as it is inspiring. After scaling Critéo into a billion-dollar business, Jonathan stepped away with no plan and plenty of questions. That wandering period led him to microbiome researcher Tim Spector, and from there, to the bold idea of using AI and big data to personalize nutrition at scale. Eight years and 250,000 microbiome samples later, ZOE is running the world's largest nutrition science study and has launched a free app to help people assess their food in real time.In this episode:Why Jonathan left the world of adtech in search of purposeHis sabbatical was a challenging period of self-discovery.The importance of relationships over ideas became clear to him.How he navigated the founder's journeyThe scientific gaps in mainstream nutrition adviceWhat most people misunderstand about ultra-processed foodHow ZOE turned a research project into a product that helps millionsWhat coffee can reveal about your gut microbiomeWhy leadership gets easier when you stop trying to be likedHow Jonathan uses one key question to make sure he's actually being heardWhy ZOE launched a free tool to put science into people's handsHow to communicate clearly as a CEO without over-explainingWhy repeating your message 100 times is part of the jobHow to hire people who care more about the mission than the resumeWhat coaching and therapy taught Jonathan about being an effective leaderWhy ZOE's shift to a free app was a strategic business decisionHow to scale without losing sight of your company's purposeJonathan also shares the emotional and psychological journey of leadership: learning to make hard calls without sugarcoating, building teams that stick, and staying grounded while leading a fast-growing company.ZOE's new free app is now available in the US. It uses AI to analyze any food item or meal for its processing risk and nutritional quality, helping people make smarter choices instantly. If you care about your energy, mood, and long-term health, this episode will change how you think about food and leadership.Connect with Alisa!

As difficult it seems, try to define Grown Up. Markers have changed so much as to questioning whether or not adulting even exists.Contact Us: TheWORDHouse.com; DrMDClay@TheWORDHouse.com; @WORDHOUSE; or call 304.523.WORD (9673).

Let's talk about adulting—actual adulting. Not just paying bills or keeping a houseplant alive, but the kind that involves emotional maturity, healthy boundaries, and conscious self-leadership. Because let's be honest, most of us weren't taught how to be fully functioning adults… and it shows. Joining us is Michelle Chalfant, licensed therapist turned holistic life coach, creator of The Adult Chair® model, and author of the new book The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life. With millions reached through her podcast, coaching programs, and retreats, she's here to walk us through the five pillars of being a healthy, grounded adult. Here's the truth: being an adult isn't about checking boxes or pretending you're fine. It's about owning your truth. Feeling your feelings. Practicing compassion without letting yourself off the hook. It's about setting firm boundaries—with no need for justification—and recognizing that your triggers are not flaws, they're clues. None of us were handed a guidebook for how to grow up emotionally. We inherited patterns from people who were figuring it out as they went. But what Michelle shares today is empowering: it's never too late to unlearn what no longer serves you and become the adult you were meant to be. Whether you're starting this work or knee-deep in your personal development era, this episode will meet you where you are—and help you move forward with clarity, self-trust, and strength.

The show adds meat (and banality!) to the evil of the Empire and the rough life of a rebel. We talk characters, themes, settings, and all that other literary stuff. For more, visit prettymuchpop.com.

Orlando, Florida, is the ultimate family destination, but did you know it's also an amazing adults-only vacation? Join us on an epic audio journey as we explore some of the best things to do for adults in Orlando, including top-rated dining, wine tasting, sunset kayaking, and adrenaline-pumping roller coasters.  Pack your bags and join me and producer Luke as we head to the theme park capital of the world to show you why this sun-soaked city isn't just for families; it's also the perfect grown-up getaway if you want thrill rides paired with buzzing bars, restaurants and shopping.  In this episode of Travel Goals, we're swapping character breakfasts for wine tastings, thrill rides for even bigger thrill rides and discovering a more sophisticated side to Orlando. One with sunset kayaking, indie wine bars, swish hotels and luxury dining Of course, we're still hitting the big-name parks because riding TRON Lightcycle / Run or drinking Butterbeer in Diagon Alley is just as magical when you're grown up. You can race through the raptor paddocks on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, face the First Order on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and then hop on classic rides that bring back all the childhood nostalgia. But we're also stepping outside the parks to explore Orlando's cooler, calmer corners. Expect leafy neighbourhoods with boutique shops and culture, glass-bottom kayaking through glittering lakes, and wine tasting in bougie bars.  If you're planning a getaway, a couples' escape, a group trip, or a trip with the girls, this episode will help you plan your dream grown-up adventure in Orlando, with where to stay, play and eat. If you're looking for a fabulous hotel, Lake Nona Wave Hotel is highly recommended. Please note that since the recording at Lake Nona Wave Hotel, Haven Kitchen has now become Garni Café, and Haven Lounge has now become The Nectar Room. Make sure to check them both out.  Thanks to Visit Orlando for supporting this episode of Travel Goals.

We've known Dave for a long time. We've known Cassie, his wife, even longer. And as it turns out, ten years is a long time. We just found out recently. But not everything changes despite the passage of time, at least not right away: Dave is still out there hunting ghosts, we're still doing our podcast, and people are still greedy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

David Ko is the CEO and board member of Calm, the #1 app for sleep, meditation, and mindfulness. A former healthcare executive and tech operator, David previously served as COO of Zynga, held senior roles at Yahoo!, and founded a healthtech company acquired by Calm. He is the bestselling author of Recharge, and has been recognized by TIME, LinkedIn, RockHealth, and NYU Stern for his leadership in digital health.What you'll learn:How David transitioned from gaming to healthcare through mission-driven insightThe real story behind Calm's evolution from sleep and meditation to global mental healthWhy David uses “battery level” as a tool for checking in at workHow leaders can model vulnerability without sacrificing authorityWhy burnout stems from poor workload management, not just long hoursThe power of shared purpose in turbulent timesHow Calm uses rituals like Jay Shetty meditations and Zoom-free days to reinforce its cultureWhy sleep, diet, and presence are core to David's leadership performanceHow transparency builds trust even when the news isn't goodWhy the conversation around mental health needs to start at the topSome takeaways:➡️ Stress is not the problem. Unchecked, unacknowledged stress is. Good stress can fuel resilience and performance.➡️ “How's your battery?” is a more meaningful check-in than “How are you?”➡️ Burnout often comes from lack of clarity and excessive task stacking, not too many hours.➡️ Leaders must explain the why behind priorities and remove as much as they assign. ➡️ Transparency about culture survey results builds psychological safety. ➡️ Rituals like 90-second meditations help reset and re-center teams. ➡️ Leadership can be lonely. Trusted colleagues make a critical difference. ➡️ Presence matters more than hours. Back-to-back meetings are not a badge of honor. ➡️ Sharing your own mental health journey is not weakness. It's how resilient teams are built. ➡️ “We take better care of our phone batteries than our mental health batteries.” Time to change that.Where to find David Ko:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daveko/ Calm: https://www.calm.comBook: Recharge: Boosting Your Mental Battery One Conversation at a TimePodcast: Recharge (available on major platforms)Connect with Alisa!
