Spartan Race started as an idea written on a napkin during a financial crisis. No business plan. Limited money. No guarantee any of it would work. Brian Duncanson, one of the original architects behind Spartan, sits down with Joe De Sena to walk through the real origin story: a meeting in Hartford in December 2009, the decision to fire before aiming, and a ragtag team that turned mud and barbed wire into a global brand operating in 45 countries. They break down the Fenway Stadium gamble Joe did not want to take, the pandemic pivot that forced DECA into a box, and why the strongest ideas at Spartan came when resources were thinnest. Brian also introduces his book, Becoming Spartan: Leveraging Friction to Forge, Scale, and Outlast, and explains what seventeen years of building under pressure taught him about action, constraint, and the 1% daily grind. Things You Will Learn: Why the strongest business innovations at Spartan came from resource constraints rather than abundance. The fire-ready-aim approach that turned a napkin sketch into a global endurance brand during a financial crisis. What breaking a massive goal into checkpoint-sized commitments does for focus, execution, and follow-through. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Two Bike Math: When you lose a resource, the team that adapts fastest wins. Constraint forces innovation you would never find in comfort. Fire Ready Aim: Stop planning. Launch small. Test in the market. Adjust under pressure. The plan improves only after contact with reality. Checkpoint Navigation: Break the hundred-mile goal into five-mile segments. Solve the first one. Then move to the next. Momentum compounds. If this episode moved you, do not just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.

Having competed in more than 50 adventure races while producing over 150 race events, Brian has built a life around resilience, leadership, and taking on difficult challenges.

If you've spent any time on social media recently, you've probably come across a video of a young, square-jawed influencer calling himself Clavicular. He has become the face of an internet subculture called looksmaxxing, in which men do almost anything — like taking steroids and hormones or bashing their jaws with a hammer — to try to become more handsome. In this episode, Natalie Kitroeff talks with reporter Joseph Bernstein about the world of looksmaxxing and how what might seem like a fringe phenomenon is actually the culmination of a digital culture that rewards physical perfection with status and algorithmic power. On Today's Episode Joseph Bernstein covers digital subcultures for the Styles desk at The New York Times.

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things that don't really matter." — Francis ChanSHOW NOTESEPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Drop the Hammer: Stop measuring your worth by your holiday performance. Practice self-compassion and apply grace to yourself before anyone else this season. Value the Value: Prioritize the reason for your activities (love, connection, celebration of Jesus) over the perfect execution of the tasks. Measurement is God's Belief: Your worth is defined by Christ's gift and the extravagant grace He has infused into you, not by your to-do list. His Faith is Your Mechanism: Jesus's faith lives on the inside of you, moving the mechanism of grace and making you equally advantaged in God's love. You Are Infused with Grace: God is head over heels in love with you, and His favor is attached to you on both your good days and your not-so-good days. Thank you for joining me today on the Interviewing Jesus Podcast. That toolkit just keeps getting fuller and fuller every time we open it up! Thank God he never tires of reminding us of the powerful tools of his love—the grace he gives so freely.
Barry, Abigail, and special guest Carlo “from Canada” Sgro discuss Carlo's Phone-a-Friend selection, Version 2.0 by Garbage, and sample Carlo's choice of three Canadian porters: Stranger Than Fiction from Collective Arts Brewing in Hamilton, Ontario; Clifford Porter from Clifford Brewing Co. in Hamilton, Ontario; and Vanilla Porter from Side Launch Brewing Company in Collingwood, Ontario.Abigail always gets Collective Arts confused with Untitled Art in Waunakee, Wisconsin. Barry always gets it confused with Counterpart Brewing in Niagara Falls, Ontario.Carlo told the story of Shirley Manson calling Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders to ask permission to use the lyrics “We were the talk of the town” in Special, since Manson had pulled those lyrics from The Pretenders' Talk of the Town. Hynde agreed, and did not ask for any credit or royalties, before even having heard Special, and rumor had it she was flattered by the ask.Hammering in My Head reminded Barry of Leave by R.E.M.Barry heard elements of both The Munsters theme and The Beach Boys' Don't Worry Baby in Push It. Unfortunately, he cannot claim credit at the AHSOSSAM for this find, as Garbage credited The Beach Boys for those lyrics and melody. Listen to our exploration of The Munsters Theme's many different iterations in last year's Halloween episode, New Belgium Halloween (New Wave Halloween & New Belgium Brewing)!Listen to Carlo's cleaning playlist!The Trick Is To Keep Breathing reminded Barry of Try Not to Breathe by R.E.M.

Danielle DiMartino Booth (@DanielleDiMartinoBoothQI) says it was interesting that a handful of Fed members didn't see a need for a rate cut in the September meeting. She believes the Fed will continue to be data dependent, despite the government shutdown disrupting certain reports like non-farm payrolls. Danielle adds there was a "hammering home" of the message that inflation was the focal point in their dual mandate. She speaks about Fed officials commentary including from Christopher Waller and Stephen Miran and addresses the likelihood of rate cuts in the next 2 FOMC meetings.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
