Podcasts about Hard Lessons

I am not a person who likes to do things the easy way.    My whole life, I've done nothing but do shit the hard way.    And let me tell you..........   The hard way is expensive.    It's painful.    People steal from you.    They run your name down.    They try and snuff out your business, your family, and even take your soul.    Here's what I know about being a hard head.    I'm grateful because of the experiences that gave me the lessons.    I learned how to be a better judge of character.    I learned how to be a good steward of my resources.    I've learned how to be a better father, husband, and businessman.    If I were to do everything I've done in my life, even as painful as it was, I would do it all over again, and not change a thing.    You can go the easy way, but it's a shortcut and you'll do yourself a disservice and miss out on the wisdom you need to truly elevate you in your life.    About the ReWire Podcast The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Hard Lessons Judges 10:6-18 / 11:1-40   1. Tough times can temper us 2. God cannot be bargained with 3. Sacrifice reveals our true character The post Hard Lessons appeared first on Radiant Springs Church.

Hello, and welcome back to Source of Truth, a new miniseries sponsored by our friends at SOLO. This series is about information asymmetry; the enemy of financial services.  Until now, we've focused on theory: the broken data infrastructure we've inherited. In Episode 3, we move from theory to reality. I ask four veteran founders and operators: What are the most difficult challenges you face when building and scaling up a consumer or small business lending business?  What hard lessons can be learned from overcoming or in some cases failing to overcome those challenges? And what do those hard lessons tell us about the future of lending and data infrastructure in the U.S.?  These conversations are short but illuminating: expect war stories from the early days of well-known fintechs, insights and creative ideas for scaling up in our heavily regulated industry, and candid admissions about the problems they still haven't cracked (and why). Guests (in order of appearance):  Luke Voiles: CEO of Pipe; longtime SMB lending operator & executive Rob Frohwein: Co-founder and former CEO of Kabbage  Jill Sheckman: former Global Chief Credit Risk Officer at PayPal; longtime credit risk executive at AmEx Brian Hamilton: Co-founder and former CEO of ONE; President at Coastal Episode 3 is your field guide to the real constraints operators face — and the data standards and product choices that actually moved loss curves, conversion, and access.

The Truth About PE Jobs: High Stakes, Hidden Rules, and Hard Lessons I Kit Lisle Private equity looks glamorous—fast money, big titles, big exits. But the glossy promise hides a brutal truth: most execs flame out before they ever cash out. Step into a PE-backed role and three things hit you at once: Culture shock. The rules change overnight. Acronyms fly. Resources vanish. The stamp. Survive a deal and you're branded a pro athlete of business—faster, sharper, battle-tested. The clock. From day one, it's ticking. No 90-day ramp. Deliver value now. In this episode, Kit Lisle—Army intelligence officer turned M&A strategist and founder of TheOperators.pe—pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to get hired into PE: The myths that kill execs in interviews. The red flags that get you crossed off instantly. Why EQ matters more than spreadsheets. And why job boards are useless when real opportunities live in relationships. PE isn't just another job. It's a sprint, a test, and for those who make it, a career-defining badge of honor. Thinking about a private equity role? Listen now. Because the truth isn't in the job description—it's in the hidden rules Kit Lisle reveals.

In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce share the hard-earned principles that helped their OD work actually stick. Too often, change efforts fail because the “rules of the road” are ignored. In past conversations, we may have made OD sound smooth and effortless — but the truth is, most of the tough work was anything but easy. From preparing the ground before diving in to remembering that “thick skin” is essential, these guidelines come from lessons learned the hard way: • Till the soil before leaping in • Never underestimate the value of a good warm-up • When in doubt, stop and check in with the group • Drop “right” and “wrong” from your vocabulary • Spend two-thirds of your time serving, which earns you one-third to push back • Never assume you know better • Grow some thick skin Whether you're leading your next leadership meeting or tackling a major change initiative, these rules will help smooth the road and improve your odds of success. So come on in, grab a snack, and let's hit the road together.

Boxing is known as the “Sweet Science,” but the name doesn't quite do it justice. The amount of work, effort, blood, sweat, tears, and beatdowns is anything but sweet. But that doesn't mean there aren't so many powerful lessons to be learned from what my guest today, Ed Latimore, calls the “Hurt Business.” Today, Ed and I talk about how and why people either buy into you (or not), why the next win or loss is just a setup for the next experience of your life, the power of consciously choosing to start over in life and after setbacks, why you're only as good as your last win, and why “old endings” are nothing more than “new beginnings.” SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 – Intro & reconnecting 02:05 – Early podcast memories 04:05 – Building influence through storytelling 06:20 – The power of brand over product 08:40 – Writing the memoir: process and lessons 10:21 – You're only as good as your last win 17:06 – Everything is an audition 23:33 – When to throw in the towel 30:10 – Why most people shouldn't box 33:22 – Fighting serious people comes at a cost 35:01 – Who chooses a life of combat? 39:32 – The worst guy to fight 46:00 – Identity, curiosity, and starting over 48:56 – How to connect with Ed 51:20 – Nobody's coming to save you 52:33 – Final thoughts & wrap-up Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Jim talks with Ed Latimore about his new book Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business: Boxing and the Art of Life. They discuss Ed's chess playing & street hustling, size differences in modern heavyweight boxing, growing up in Pittsburgh's Hill District, childhood trauma & violence, relationships with his single mother & absent father, abusive boyfriends, middle school & gifted programs, the cocaine prank incident, his high school football career, academic struggles, attending University of Rochester, spending his father's life insurance money, his boxing career, the All American Heavyweights program, alcohol abuse, sobriety, Olympic trials, military service, a degree in physics, his current life as an author & speaker, and much more. Episode Transcript Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business: Boxing and the Art of Life, by Ed Latimore "5 reasons why I quit boxing with only one loss," by Ed Latimore "The book made me do it—why I'm boxing again," by Ed Latimore Ed Latimore is a former professional heavyweight boxer, an amateur national champion, a competitive chess player, and a bestselling author with a B.A. in Physics from Duquesne University. He draws on his experiences in the boxing ring, in the classroom, and in recovery to teach people how to build grit and resilience.

What happens when a physics graduate from the projects decides to return to professional boxing at age 40 after a nine-year hiatus? Ed Latimore's story defies every expectation you might have about both academic achievement and athletic excellence.In this candid conversation, Latimore shares the brutal realities behind his comeback fight, the hidden health issues that were sabotaging his performance for years, and the scientific approach he used to optimize his body at an age when most athletes have long retired. From discovering his thyroid was working against him to uncovering respiratory problems that mimicked COPD, his journey illustrates how even the healthiest among us can have invisible barriers to peak performance.But this isn't just a boxing story. Latimore articulates a philosophy that cuts straight to the heart of human limitation and choice. His insights about sacrifice, priority, and the mathematics of achievement apply whether you're trying to lose weight, build a business, or simply live with more intention.The conversation weaves through his upcoming memoir "Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business," his transition from fighter to writer, and the biomechanical insights he gained that revolutionized his understanding of athletic performance. Along the way, he demonstrates why sometimes the most efficient path isn't the best path for creation, and how constraints can become the foundation for extraordinary achievement.This is raw storytelling from someone who has lived at the intersection of intellectual rigor and physical combat, offering perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom about aging, health optimization, and what's actually possible when you refuse to accept limitations as permanent.BIG IDEAYou can have anything you want, you just can't have everything you want.Contact Info: Ed LatimoreTwitter:https://x.com/EdLatimoreInstagram: https://instagram.com/edlatimoreLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edlatimore/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EdLatimore1Website: https://edlatimore.comInvitee Email: edward.latimore@gmail.comSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

In this solo episode, I share the story of my “house from hell” a painting job on an 80 year old stucco home that nearly broke me.From poor delegation and unsafe ladders to underbidding and painful client disputes, this project taught me the hard way how not to run a painting business, and ultimately gave me the foundation I needed to scale a real painting company.If you're trying to figure out how to grow a painting business, and lead like a true owner, this one's for you.What I cover in this episode:✅ The mistake that cost me more than money✅ Why painting is the least valuable thing I did✅ How to delegate better (and actually train your painters)✅ What happens when you underbid just to win a job✅ Mindset shifts that helped me go from struggling operator to actual CEOWant to scale your painting company without burning out like I did?

There's a lot of hype around disruption and building a "blue ocean" business:Where you create new, uncontested market space rather than competing head-to-head in existing markets.But here's a reality check: 90% of startups fail and 42% of those fail because they create something nobody wants.Meanwhile, savvy startups are looking for a "purple ocean" — taking proven ideas and applying them to specific verticals.On the latest episode of The High-EQ Founder, I spoke with Melissa Kwan, serial entrepreneur and CEO of eWebinar, who did exactly this by applying existing webinar technology to customer success teams tired of repeating the same demos and trainings.Melissa's been on the entrepreneurial journey for 14 years. Here's what she shared:

There is a lot of news today that is not being covered because President Trump was forced to take action against Iran.Democrats have a new ball to play with, so like clockwork, they criticized what every president before Trump said was absolutely necessary.At some point if you say that Iran can't have a nuke and they continue trying to build a nuke, one of the presidents would have had to stop them.Anybody think Biden would have done it?He didn't in his first term, but do you believe he would have acted THIS time, had he been re-appointed?What about Harris? Would ANY Democrat have acted on what every president universally has declared we would not allow Iran to achieve?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I'm joined by traditional bowhunter Chris Parrino—a guy who's lived a hunting life most of us only dream about. We dig into the roots of his passion, from growing up in a blue-collar family to chasing grizzlies, moose, and polar bears with a stickbow. Chris opens up about what it really takes to hunt at a high level with traditional gear—the failures, the close calls, and the quiet discipline behind decades of consistent success. We talk about the changing face of bowhunting, the importance of humility, and why doing it the hard way still matters. If you're into wild places, serious challenges, and learning from a guy who's been there and done it the right way, this is one you won't want to miss. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 446 How a blue-collar upbringing shaped his bowhunting path. Building his own bows and sticking with traditional gear. Grizzly, moose, and polar bear hunts  - raw adventure. Chris explains why hunting stays a passion, not a profession. Technology has changed hunting—for better or worse. Solo hunts and failure taught him grit, patience, and perspective. His biggest hunts highlight the value of preparation and humility.

We discuss: Life offers no do-overs, but reflection can lead to valuable insights Real estate principles remain constant despite market changes Steve bought his first farm at 22, before even owning a house Skepticism from others surrounded his early land purchases Lack of prior experience allowed for a fresh perspective on land investment A key mistake was not being aggressive enough in purchasing land Price thresholds often deterred him from buying more land Market plateaus typically last one to two years before a shift occurs Learning to adapt to changing market conditions over time Liquidity is a significant concern when investing in land Taking risks is essential for achieving success in land investment Understanding 1031 exchanges is crucial for building generational wealth Holding onto farms for two to three years is ideal for maximizing value Focus on good deals rather than waiting for perfect conditions And so much more! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.whitetailmasteracademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOFER' to save 10% off at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.theprairiefarm.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Massive potential tax savings: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ASMLABS.Net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Moultrie: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/moultrie_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Hawke Optics: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/hawkeoptics_⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -OnX: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/onX_Hunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Painted Arrow: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/PaintedArrow
