Podcasts about Hard Choices

When Sir Terry Pratchett put pen to paper and first began to shape what would become Discworld, he could not have known that down the line, some little gang of weirdos on the internet would spend almost three hours getting scientifically horny about it. But with a world as rich, multi-layered, and full of larger than life characters as Discworld, it was, perhaps, inevitable. Join our coven of podcasters as they plow through 21 of the Disc's most notable characters to find the zenith, median, and nadir of fuckability in a spree that would make Nanny Ogg proud. You'll get to hear Dan take on the role of 'episode outlier', experience Annie Craton's passion for a certain cat turned man, delight as James D'Amato asks probing questions about just how being into feet works, and listen to MeganBob opine on what exactly Troll cum tastes like. So pull up a chair, get yourself a drink, and strap in for a ride that we're not sure even Rincewind could survive!

Send us a textJerzy Gregorek and his wife Aniela survived a perilous journey living behind the Iron Curtain in Poland while it was subservient to brutal Soviet Union domination. He describes the darkness of living there in the 1970s and 80s, and how it led to him becoming an alcoholic at age 15. He had a mentor who pretty much dragged him into weightlifting at the time of the rise of Solidarity, the movement that led to the fall of the repressive Communist regime and to the free Poland that exists today despite constant threats from Putin's Russia. Escaping that destructive, alcoholic path shaped his understanding of resilience and personal responsibility. He rebuilt his life — becoming a political exile in the USA, then a four-time world champion weightlifter, and later a mentor, poet, and a student earning his PhD in Humanistic Psychology. His core philosophy — “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” — comes from lived experience and years of guiding people through transformation. Jerzy founded the weightlifting program at UCLA, and Aniela herself is a five-time world weightlifting champion with six world records.What sets Jerzy apart is his ability to integrate physical training, creative expression, and psychological insight into a holistic approach to health and resilience. He emphasizes that emotional intelligence is a crucial element in overcoming life's adversities, and that it can be practiced, cultivated, and mastered. His three books, titled “The Happy Body: Mastering Food, Exercise, and Rest Choices,” are designed to help people embrace this path of strength, wisdom, and balance. The poetry book “The Happy Body: Food For Your Soul” helps with emotional eating. “The Happy Body Virtues: Daily Practices for the Modern Stoic” helps with emotional eating and self-regulation, while “I Got This: The Art of Getting Grit” helps with integrating the stories that contribute to building the skill of living a good life. Listen closely to the wise lessons Jerzy shares here and strongly consider getting deeper into The Happy Body to learn to apply the “Hard Choices, Easy Life; Easy Choices, Hard Life” philosophy to your own life. This might be one New Year's resolution for change that I can heartily endorse.Jerzy Gregorekthehappybody.comjerzygregorek@gmail.comThe Happy Body book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N21PL3DFacebook The Happy BodyYouTube @thehappybodyLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerzy-gregorek-ab87475/Bill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

Send us a textA rifle on a rooftop isn't a movie moment—it's a profound responsibility. We sit with retired Canadian Army sniper Barry Nisbet and author and former U.S. Army Ranger Mir Bahmanyar to unpack what snipers really do when deployed to places like Bosnia and Afghanistan and why their new book, Send It, pushes past the myths of their missions and duties. Barry brings the ground truth from five operational tours and a rare first for a Canadian corporal at U.S. Army Ranger School. Mir adds the historian's eye and a Ranger's respect for standards, sharing why he pulled real practitioners into the manuscript to keep the record straight.We walk through the job as it is lived: building a sniper from disciplined infantry roots, the strict rules of engagement that govern every trigger press, and the invisible victories of overwatch that keep patrols alive. Barry breaks down night insertions, fragile hides, the exposure that comes with calling in artillery or air, and the nerve it takes to exfiltrate when the sun rises and the enemy knows you're there. The conversation lingers where most war stories don't—accepting risk without bravado, carrying loss without turning it into spectacle, and holding fast to the internal standards that separate professionals from pose.Mir challenges the hype that flattens soldiers into slogans and war into entertainment. He argues for honest military history that preserves detail, context and consequence, and he credits Canadian sniper teams with a level of professionalism and restraint too often missing in popular narratives. Along the way we touch on leadership that actually protects people, the mental skills forged in stalking lanes and fieldcraft, and the quiet rituals—dogs, long walks, small places far from crowds—that help recalibrate after hard tours.If you care about modern military history, leadership under pressure, or how precision and patience save lives, this one will stick with you. Listen, then pick up Send It for the full story told by the people who were there. If the conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who values honest storytelling, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.Thanks for listening.

The Hoover History Lab and its Applied History Working Group in close partnership with the Global Policy and Strategy Initiative held The Arsenal of Democracy Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM PT. The event featured the authors Eyck Freymann, Hoover Fellow, and Harry Halem, Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute, in conversation with Stephen Kotkin, Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow. The US military stands at a moment of profound risk and uncertainty. China and its authoritarian partners have pulled far ahead in defense industrial capacity. Meanwhile, emerging technologies are reshaping the character of air and naval warfare and putting key elements of the US force at risk. To prevent a devastating war with China, America must rally its allies to build a new arsenal of democracy. But achieving this goal swiftly and affordably involves hard choices. The Arsenal of Democracy is the first book to integrate military strategy, industrial capacity, and budget realities into a comprehensive deterrence framework. While other books explain why deterrence matters, this book provides the detailed roadmap for how America can actually sustain deterrence through the 2030s—requiring a whole-of-nation effort with coordinated action across Congress, industry, and allied governments. Rapidly maturing technologies are already reshaping the battlefield: unmanned systems on air, land, sea, and undersea; advanced electronic warfare; space-based sensing; and more. Yet China's industrial strengths could give it advantages in a protracted conflict. The United States and its allies must both revitalize their industrial bases to achieve necessary production scale and adapt existing platforms to integrate new high-tech tools. FEATURING Eyck Freymann is a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University and a Non-Resident Research Fellow at the U.S. Naval War College, China Maritime Studies Institute. He works on strategies to preserve peace and protect U.S. interests and values in an era of systemic competition with China. He is the author of several books, including The Arsenal of Democracy: Technology, Industry, and Deterrence in an Age of Hard Choices, with Harry Halem, and One Belt One Road: Chinese Power Meets the World. His scholarly work has appeared in The China Quarterly and is forthcoming in International Security.  Harry Halem is a Senior Fellow at Yorktown Institute. He holds an MA (Hons) in Philosophy and International Relations from the University of St Andrews, and an MSc in Political Philosophy from the London School of Economics.  Mr. Halem worked for the Hudson Institute's Seapower Center, along with multiple UK think-tanks.  He has published a variety of short-form pieces and monographs on various aspects of military affairs, in addition to a short book on Libyan political history. Stephen Kotkin is the Kleinheinz Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution as well as a senior fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. He is also the Birkelund Professor in History and International Affairs emeritus at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (formerly the Woodrow Wilson School), where he taught for 33 years. He earned his PhD at the University of California–Berkeley and has been conducting research in the Hoover Library & Archives for more than three decades. Kotkin's research encompasses geopolitics and authoritarian regimes in history and in the present.

In this episode host Matt Burgess speaks with Canadian genetic counsellor Erica Pai about pre‑implantation genetic testing (PGT). They discuss how PGT has evolved, technical and ethical challenges (including difficult genes like CYP21A2), the continuing role of linkage analysis in embryo testing, and the complexities of mosaic and segmental results.   They also cover the emotional and practical aspects of counselling families through IVF and PGT, issues of access and equity, and the importance of clinical support when deciding whether to pursue testing.

This summer, both Stanford Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente paused gender affirming surgeries for youth under 19 years old. Ever since, the families of transgender kids in the Bay have been facing some hard choices.

Gender affirming care is becoming less accessible for trans youth in the Bay. Today, we'll hear from families facing tough decisions. Then, the story of a woman in prison who was gifted a book that changed her. And, a collection of readings from Bay Area authors.

Manchester United are back baby.  Rest in Piss the bad times 2013-2025. This is definitely a REAL dawn as Ruben Amorin beat their bogey team Brighton 4-2 at home to make 3 consecutive wins in the Premier League for Man United. What next for The Red Devils and, more importantly, what happens to that guy when he cuts his hair? Smart money is on a sharp veer into the far right.Liverpool continue to slide down the table as Brentford's long throws and pressure cooker tactics consigned Liverpool to another defeat in the Premier League. I explore the two questions that persist about Mohamaed Salah and Florian Wirtz. Can they play together, and if not, who should be dropped? The man who needs to make this decision is Arne Slot, who seems unable to reconcile with the fact that teams have changed their tactics this year when facing the champions.The classico between Real Madrid vs Barcelona had all the elements of one of the great games between these two clubs. A galaxy of stars for real madrid vs a team of uber talented La Masia teens and 5'8 and below men (Except for on loan Marcus Rashford) for Barcelona, Plenty of goals red card,s and pr,e pos,t and during the match shithousery from both sides. I recall this game via YouTube short highlights and place both sides in one of three categories of humbleness.Support the showWant to support us and also get some sweet bonus exclusive pods?

When you're parenting a child who struggles with substances, it can feel like you don't have a choice. The options in front of you often feel terrible, and the weight of helplessness colors everything. I know this firsthand—during the years of my daughter Helanna's substance use, I felt like my life was completely at the effect of hers. Without a sense of agency, everything felt horrific, like there was no “in-between”—just unbearable.But the truth is even when you don't like your options, you are still choosing. And recognizing that changes everything. It shifts you from powerless to empowered. It brings back agency, softens the edges of the pain, and helps you move forward instead of feeling consumed by chaos.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why it feels like you don't have a choice (and the real difference between “I don't like my choices” and “I don't have choices”).• How every decision has both a cost and a benefit—and how naming those trade-offs can ease resentment and regret.• The concept of choice stacking.• Why waiting for certainty keeps you stuck, and how clarity actually comes after you decide.If you've been feeling stuck, powerless, or waiting for your child to change before you can breathe again, this episode will help you take your power back in a compassionate, grounded way.Resources From Heather Ross Coaching If you want answers and support to help you and your child Sign up for a 45-minute $17 Road to Recovery call with Heather using the link below. https://heatherrosscoachingcalendar.as.me/RoadtoRecovery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The truth about enabling - If you've ever worried about enabling, this guide is for you! https://heatherrosscoaching.com/perspective-about-enabling/How to leave a podcast reviewhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/5xkPZM8mj-E

Everybody to the limit! Well, maybe past the limit, because yes, we're ranking the fuckability of the Homestar Runner universe. Does it matter to you if the Cheat lives in a grill? Do you care if Homestar Runner is wearing pants? Just what can Strong Bad do while wearing boxing gloves?  Join Patrick Rothfuss, James, D'Amato, Dillin Apelyan, Annie Craton, and MeganBob as they explore what makes fucking Senor Cardgage a 'probalo', whether getting possibly eaten by the King of Town is a dealbreaker, and to what extent it matters if the Poopsmith can shower. Along the way, you'll get to hear every possible iteration of how Coach Z might talk in the bedroom, what it sounds like when Marzipan comes, and we even make a detour to talk about that one tree branch that sounds like it's saying "Douglas".  Grab a bottle of Melonade (and maybe some vodka for good measure) and strap in for an episode that makes the rest of the Hard Choices catalog look almost normal.  Patreon: patreon.com/c/hardchoices Bad Choices - Shrek Livestream registration link Instagram: hardchoicespod Twitter: @hardchoicespod Bluesky: @hardchoicespodcast.bsky.social MeganBob's OnlyFans: onlyfans.com/meganbob Tuscon Comic Con Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/funk-me License code: PY3X4XBA59ZDUAVZ https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/funky-junk License code: KIXMIV9S2VDVUHLW https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-gentleman License code: UWXG3BXPCASTYIHY https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/lets-get-it License code: MGTNINNDEXYJBAZQ https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/high-life License code: GE9B1XIV9R1VKMML https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/boogie-time License code: QOVELAYOE1SDZQ4Y https://uppbeat.io/t/hey-pluto/the-brighton-bop License code: VWDJ4C60GOAIPACW https://uppbeat.io/t/jonny-boyle/jazzed License code: AVN7XPXUBHDBHFAM https://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/wake-me-up License code: SPHCZLRSPZNRUK7R https://uppbeat.io/t/walz/redcar-jazz License code: A0MVEEBKYDDJ0EQY https://uppbeat.io/t/sonda/rock-it License code: QFNICKIQJYO3DCZO

Melissa Di Donato sees caution and volatility tightening liquidity, pressuring executives on how they use company cash for acquisitions, paying down debt, or other business activities. Short-term liquidity for U.S. corporates with revenues of $1B+ was $3.2T at the end of 1Q, a $500 billion drop from last year. Long-term debt rose as well, while available undrawn credit fell. Melissa addresses the “trust gap”: Kyriba's survey of CFOs show that 5 out of 10 are excited about the transformational impact of AI, but 8 of 10 are concerned about security and privacy risks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Life is made up of hard choices. It's those big moments that define our lives. It's not the outcome that matters. It's those precious moments where we get to decide which direction our life takes. We put so much pressure on ourselves to make the right decision, but we forget that it's the journey and freedom of having options that makes life so meaningful.The heart is always open to new possibilities, the gut guides us, but the mind stops us. We think the mind is being rational, but that rationality is fear in disguise. It stops us from moving forward and creating the beautiful life that is meant for us.In this podcast, I share the 3 reasons we have a hard time making decisions, 3 ways to overcome them, how to make wise choices, and how to keep going and growing no matter what happens.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

The challenging yet crucial skill of making hard choices is in the spotlight this week as McKay draws inspiration from Ruth Chang's TED Talk and real-world examples ranging from President Truman's wartime decisions to personal dilemmas faced by his own family and himself. The episode explores the nature of hard choices - those where options seem equally compelling or unclear - and offers practical strategies for navigating these pivotal moments. McKay emphasizes the importance of understanding your values, gathering information (but not getting paralyzed by it), taking small steps to test options, and ultimately, committing to a path. Illustrating how these decisions shape not only our immediate future but also who we become, our host urges listeners to embrace the process of choosing, even when it's difficult, as a pathway to growth and a more fulfilling life.Main Themes:Hard choices involve equally compelling options.The process of choosing fosters personal growth.Test different paths to gain clarity.Align decisions with core values and what fosters growth.Commit to a choice, then learn and adapt.True success is measured by service and impact.Making your own choices builds agency and responsibility.Learn from all past choices, good and bad.How you live with a choice matters more than the choice itself.Gain diverse perspectives to find the best path.Top 10 Quotes:"Hard choices are those when we're comparing options, they seem on par, and maybe for different reasons, but the choice, the decision, is hard and unclear.""This is the natural response, right? When faced with similar choices, most of us don't decide. And that may be the worst choice of all.""When you're faced with such a decision, you can start walking down one path or the other. Go as far as you can without too much cost or investment.""Which program will cause you as a person to have grown more? To become better and to give you new possible directions in life?""Choose the one that stretches you in the right way that helps you grow.""In my view, our decisions are not perfect, but our living with those decisions makes it so.""The real measure of success is, ‘How did we serve in our circumstance?'”"It's often not how good we are at making decisions, but how good we are at making life good from the decisions that we've made that matters.""Ascertain what matters. Identify your guiding values.""Take the attitude that this helps you become the author of your life, forming who you want to be."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Episode 4589: Big Beautiful Bill And Hard Choices; Defunding VOA

This show is about so much more than getting a blowjob from a Muppet or finally knowing what Kraven the Hunter smells like. This show is about data. Only by carefully ranking fictional universes, represented by their median fuckable character, against one another can we arrive at a considered understanding of how these fandoms relate. Join Annie Craton, Kris Newton, Dan Mulkerin, and MeganBob for a voyage into the dead center of 21 lists. Along the way we ask ourselves, is Silver Sable from Spider -Man more fuckable than Guile from Street Fighter? Is Dragon from Shrek a better lay than King Kai from Dragon Ball? Only by making these scientifically rigorous comparisons will we ever truly understand the nature of fuckability, and therefore, the true nature of the human heart, which is obviously the real mission of the show, despite what those dweebs at the Peabody Awards think. By the way! Saturday, August 9th at 5pm Pacific is Bad Choices: Shrek, the live and intoxicated version of Hard Choices, and it goes down through Patreon livestream for all $4.20 patrons!
