Supahot Geysers manufactures geysers in South Africa for homes and developments, helping restore thousands of warm showers every month. Every established business owner eventually learns the same lesson: growth is rarely built through comfort. Supahot Geysers, led by Shaaz Moosa, is a strong example of that reality. The business manufactures geysers in South Africa for homes, developments and the replacement market, helping restore thousands of warm showers every month. But behind the product is a tougher story of rebuilding.

The name Stevie Wright probably doesn't ring a bell. It should. Wright was the lead singer of The Easybeats, Australia's first international rock act and the band that gave the world "Friday on My Mind" in 1965. Then he made Hard Road.Released in 1974 and produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, the duo who would immediately go on to produce AC/DC's first six albums. Hard Road features Malcolm Young on guitar and a teenage Angus Young as the live touring band. The title track is, as patron Gavin Reid puts it, "Highway to Hell was a slower Hard Road." The blueprint was right here.And then there's "Evie," a 10-minute, three-part rock opera that hit #1 in Australia in 1974, one full year before "Bohemian Rhapsody." Gavin also argues it may have been the template for the Queen epic. Contested, but compelling.Jay and Chip walked into this episode having never heard of Stevie Wright.

"Celebrating Our 100th Episode!" with Eric and Christen   Welcome to the Hope on the Hard Road Podcast.  This is a milestone moment, it is our 100th episode! It's hard to believe that what started five years ago as a simple idea has grown into something so meaningful. When we first launched this podcast, Eric and I just wanted to create a space where families navigating special needs could feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. We knew firsthand how isolating the journey can be, and we wanted to bring real conversations, real stories, and real hope to others walking a similar road. Over the past five years, we've had the honor of sharing this space with incredible guests—parents, caregivers, professionals, advocates, and individuals with lived experience. We've talked about everything from navigating IEPs and therapies, to future planning, marriage, mental health, and the everyday realities that don't always get talked about. Some episodes have been educational and practical, others have been emotional and raw—but all of them have been rooted in connection and hope. This podcast has become more than just a platform—it's become a community. And for both of us, it has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of our lives. Hearing your stories, your feedback, and knowing that these conversations are making a difference has meant more than we can put into words. If you're new here, Hope on the Hard Road is all about walking alongside families —offering encouragement, resources, and a reminder that even on the hardest roads, there is always hope. And if you've been with us from the beginning… thank you. Truly. This 100th episode is just as much yours as it is ours. To celebrate 100 episodes and five amazing years, we're taking a look back at 10 of our most impactful episodes. We hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane as much as we have.   For a family raising a child with special needs, life can be difficult. There are many storms to weather and struggles to address, and we often feel isolated and alone due to the nature of our circumstances. Families have a need to connect and find resources, a need to be encouraged, and a need for hope as we walk down what can be a very hard road at times.

#223 - What does it take to stay teammates for 30 plus years while crossing borders, missing comforts, and choosing the hard route on purpose? I'm joined by John and Ann Craig Cinnamon, a travel power couple who've visited 120 plus countries on seven continents, and they're honest about the part most people skip: real adventure travel can be exhausting, tense, and unpredictable, and that's exactly why it changes you.We dig into the way travel exposes personality fast, from idea-making to logistics to how you handle stress when plans break. John and Ann share the travel philosophy they call “While We're In The Neighborhood,” why they rarely visit just one country at a time, and how experiences like the Running of the Bulls, Oktoberfest, and the Trans-Siberian Railway became markers in a life built on curiosity. Their all-time favorite story is a Himalayas trek from Kathmandu toward Mount Everest, where tea houses, altitude, a local guide, and even a hard-earned scar turned a difficult hike into a memory they still revisit.The conversation also goes deep on authentic travel and human connection: meeting locals in Cambodia who insisted on giving a gift in return, laughing with a Mongolian guide who loved NBA shooters, navigating political conversations abroad, and facing fear during a Moscow airport interrogation. If you care about couple travel, travel storytelling, and the mindset behind meaningful trips, you'll leave with both practical perspective and a bigger heart for the world.Check out their book, Travel Is No Vacation: A Love Story, then subscribe, share this with someone you'd travel with, and leave a review so more people can find The Human Adventure.To learn more about the Cinnamons and their book check out www.travelisnovacation.com.To learn more about me and see clips from past, present, and future shows give me a follow on Instagram @humanadventurepod.Want to be a guest on The Human Adventure?

Think back to some of the hard times you've been through. Do those times conjure up fond memories and a longing to return to yesteryear? Of course not! Most people do their best to forget these moments as quickly as possible, but a mature leader recognizes the value of the suffering they've endured. Join us for today's episode as we discuss how your most painful moments have the potential to be your biggest opportunities for growth. Check out the video version of this conversation.  In this episode I talk about my book When Sheep Bite. You can find out more about that book here.

Every journey starts with a decision. And when Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem, He wasn't taking the easy route. He saw every step of what was coming, and He chose to walk it anyway.In this first message of our brand new series ON THE WAY, Pastor Josh unpacks one of the most pivotal moments in the ministry of Jesus. Luke 9:51 tells us He "steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem," knowing full well what awaited Him. No detours. No u-turns. Just a fixed focus on the road ahead.The truth is, human nature pulls us toward comfort over calling, power without sacrifice, and following without real cost. But Jesus modeled something different. He showed us that the most meaningful things in life are rarely found on the easy road.If you've been waiting for a sign to go all in, to settle your direction, choose purpose over comfort, and take your next step of obedience, this message is for you.This series is designed to prepare your heart for what resurrection really means when you've walked the road that leads there.

Pastor Nick exposits a strange account where God confronts Moses's family. Their disregard for covenant requirements must be set right before the mission can continue.

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Bridging Two Worlds: Dr. Amir Marvasti on Purpose, Humanizing Eye Care, and LegacyHost Savia Rocks opens Season 7 of the Us People Podcast with a focus on creativity, shedding cultural trauma, finding purpose, and leaving a legacy that benefits humanity. She interviews Dr. Amir Marvasti, an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon, who shares his background of being born in Texas, raised in Iran until age 18, and then immigrating to the U.S. to rebuild his life in California describing how living between Eastern and Western cultures shaped his identity. Amir explains the contrasting influences of his parents: his father (also an ophthalmologist) modeled discipline, hard work, and goal-driven sacrifice, while his mother modeled a different kind of sacrifice centered on family, along with openness, emotion, and adaptability; he describes himself as a bridge carrying both energies. He discusses defining himself beyond titles, emphasizing that doctors are human, and says his fulfillment comes from helping others especially opening doors for people who were told they could not succeed while connection is central to his sense of purpose and how he evaluates himself when he ‘looks in the mirror.' On peace, Amir frames it as accepting what is out of his control while doing his best with what is within his control. 00:00 Meet Savia Rocks + The Legacy Mindset (Season 7 Teaser)01:10 Welcome to Season 7: Introducing Dr. Amir Marvasti (Ophthalmologist)03:06 Amir's Origin Story: Growing Up Between Iran & the U.S.04:53 Parents, Sacrifice & Identity: Discipline vs Openness08:25 Mirror Question: Purpose, Fulfillment & Being More Than a Title14:52 Connection, Grief & Hard Conversations After Losing His Mother15:58 A Day in the Life of an Ophthalmologist: Humanizing Vision Care21:08 Silent Eye Diseases & Elective Surgery: Glaucoma, Checkups, LASIK22:53 Why Ophthalmology?

When Jesus decided to go Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, He knew what awaited Him. He would be used and abused. Betrayed and abandoned. Arrested and beaten. Killed and buried. But He went anyway. Only by walking that difficult road would He be able to defeat sin and death. Maybe you are only one road away from experiencing joy and freedom. Are you willing to walk that same road?

A shocked city, a careful army, and a plateau that decides everything. We follow the tense weeks after Athens' first win outside Syracuse, when momentum gave way to method. Nicias, often branded cautious, makes a hard strategic choice: pause late in the season, refill the coffers, request cavalry, and prepare for a siege that can actually hold under pressure. Meanwhile, Syracuse hears Hermocrates at last. His blunt case—discipline over bluster, reform over blame—shrinks a muddled command, tightens training, and sends envoys to Corinth and Sparta to turn a local crisis into a panhellenic cause.The political map of Sicily comes into sharp focus as Camarina keeps a careful distance, Naxos and Regium quietly help Athens, and both sides court allies who can tip supplies, harbors, and morale. Then the war's center of gravity jumps across the sea. Alcibiades escapes and arrives in Sparta with insider detail and a plan to exploit Athenian overreach. His advice sparks two decisive moves: dispatching Gylippus to steady Syracuse and fortifying Decelea to bleed Attica. Intelligence, timing, and audacity reshape the conflict more than any single skirmish could.Through winter 415–414 BCE, the Athenians work with rare clarity. Catana becomes an operating base; ships are refit; scouts trace Syracuse's walls and water. The conclusion is simple and stark: win the Epipolae Heights or lose the siege before it begins. Spring brings speed. A quiet sail, a rapid landing, and Lamachus' night march seize Euryelus, the gateway to the plateau. Engineers mark lines. Syracuse counters. For a moment, the expedition reaches its high watermark, the city nearly within an encircling wall. But with Gylippus on the horizon and a reformed Syracuse ready to contest every trench, the hard road truly begins. Support the show

Elissa shares how her abusive relationship began, the isolation that followed, and the brutal erosion of her confidence, voice, and sense of self. She describes the moment she realized she had become a shell of the person she once was—and the day she finally escaped with her son, her dog, and a single laundry basket of clothes. Nick guides the conversation through the grief that survivors carry long after leaving: grief for the life they imagined, grief for the version of themselves they lost, and grief for the safety they never had. Elissa's story is raw, grounding, and rooted in truth, offering survivors and supporters a roadmap toward healing, self-awareness, and reclaiming personal power. This episode opens the door to conversations many survivors have never been able to speak out loud, shining a light on emotional strength, community, and the long road out of darkness. Elissa interview - transcript -…This episode answers:What are the early warning signs of emotional abuse that most people miss?Why do so many survivors stay, return, or feel trapped in abusive relationships?How does identity loss show up during long-term domestic violence?What does the escape process really look like for survivors with children?How can survivors rebuild confidence, autonomy, and safety after trauma?Key Takeaways:Abuse often begins with love-bombing, isolation, and subtle emotional erosion.Survivors grieve the loss of identity, safety, and autonomy long before they can leave.Leaving an abusive relationship is rarely a single event—it's a repeated, dangerous cycle.Self-awareness is one of the most powerful tools a survivor gains after escaping.Healing requires support, community, and the reclamation of personal voice and power. GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

Spellers Series: “Finding Their Voice: A Family's Journey with Spelling” with J Brad and Paulette Britton   Today we continue our Spellers Series and are joined by Paulette and J Brad Britton.  Paulette and J Brad have a 24-year-old autistic son with apraxia, named Sam. For years, his intelligence and humor were missed. That changed when he began using spelled communication to share his thoughts. Paulette has spent years connecting cutting-edge autism research with the families who need it. J Brad, a leadership mentor and business executive, brings a father's honest reflection to the conversation. He talks openly about what it means to lead, learn, and show up when your child's needs don't follow the rulebook. Together, Paulette and J Brad have become thoughtful voices on “presuming competence”, advocating with compassion, and holding on to hope on the hard road. Their story is featured in the upcoming book Real Words with Sam, which includes Sam's own writing—his ideas, his humor, his voice.

Redefining Success: The Road Less Traveled Have you ever wondered why chasing success can sometimes feel so lonely, uncertain, and even painful? In this week's MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass, I'm breaking down the truth about what it really takes to achieve greatness—and why the path that leads to the life you were born for is the one most people will never choose. This episode isn't about the highlight reels or luxury posts on social media—it's about the real journey. The one that's dark, windy, and full of breakdowns. But it's also the road that leads to freedom, fulfillment, and purpose. I share why the feelings of doubt, rejection, fear, anxiety, and isolation you may be experiencing are not signs that you're failing—they're proof that you're on the right road. I've walked this path myself for decades, and I'll show you how to keep going when it feels like you've lost direction or support. Because here's the truth: the resistance you're facing is not a stop sign—it's a green light. We'll also talk about the three stages of mastery every person must go through to achieve greatness: the awkward stage, the mechanical stage, and the natural stage. Whether you're starting a new business, building a skill, or reinventing your life, most people quit before they break through—not because they lack potential, but because they can't see their invisible progress. I'll teach you how to stay consistent through the reps, the setbacks, and the course corrections until your “pinata” finally breaks open and the rewards come pouring out. Most of all, this episode is about redefining success itself. True success isn't about arriving at some future destination—it's about living fully now. It's about mastering presence, savoring the moments you're in, and realizing that a rich life isn't measured by money or status, but by the number of moments you're truly alive. My prayer for you is that you stop future-traveling to a place that doesn't exist yet—and instead, give yourself the gift of right now. Because this moment is the only one you'll ever actually get to live. Key Takeaways: Why rejection, doubt, and fear are actually signs you're on the right path The three stages of mastery: awkward, mechanical, and natural How to keep going when progress feels invisible The danger of chasing achievement without enjoying the journey The true meaning of success—and how to live a rich life right now Your dream doesn't come to life on the well-lit road everyone else is walking. It's found on the road less traveled—the one meant for you. Don't yield. Don't give in. Keep doing the reps, and Max Out Your Mind. Also don't miss out on MAXOUT2026: Once a year, I open my home for an intimate one-day experience unlike anything else I do. This year, I'm making it even smaller—just 12 to 15 people. Together, we'll dive deep into the exact strategies I use to plan, visualize, and design the best year of my life—and yours. If you're ready to Max Out your future, join me at Maxout2026.com (https://maxout2026.com/) for a life-changing day you'll never forget. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

John welcomes Dennis Ross, the longtime diplomat sometimes referred to as the Zelig of Middle East peace talks, to discuss the deal brokered by Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza. Ross—whose career at the center of U.S. foreign policy included stints in the Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, and Obama administrations—explains why the significance of Trump's achievement shouldn't be diminished, even if his claim of delivering “the historic dawn of a new Middle East" is wildly premature; what will be required to build on this week's momentum and lay the foundation of a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine; and what lessons can be learned from the last time a breakthrough in the region seemed to be at hand—the failed Camp David Summit 25 years ago, in which Ross played a pivotal role.

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but you don't get to take the crown off." Steve Harvey Pivot Family, we have a special episode with this one for you, get ready to step inside the life of one of the most prolific figures of our generation. In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, comedy icon, TV mogul, and entrepreneur Steve Harvey sits down with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder to talk about the pivotal moments that shaped his life — from homelessness to the Live at the Apollo to big screens of Hollywood. He shares the keys to not giving up, how becoming successful is one feat but staying there is true fulfillment. With his signature blend of wisdom and wit, Steve opens up about the grind behind his success, the faith that kept him grounded, and the mindset that separates the great from the average. But beyond the fame, Steve gets deeply personal — reflecting on his upbringing in Cleveland, the sacrifices his parents made, and how his father's discipline and his mother's prayers laid the foundation for everything he's built. He speaks on how their influence still drives him today, especially in how he leads his own family and honors their legacy through purpose-driven work. In an emotional revelation, Steve shares with the guys the depth of his bond with his father and how the closeness is something that can never be replicated and how the loss still sticks with him today. Steve's ability to use humor to discuss tough topics and address some of the darker times in his life is a masterclass on legacy, resilience and betting on yourself. Steve unpacks his biggest pivots — including walking away from secure paychecks to follow his calling, navigating public criticism, and balancing fame with responsibility. He also drops gems on generational wealth, manhood, and what today's young men need to hear about purpose, respect, and staying true to who they are. From generational wealth and black fatherhood to choosing purpose over popularity, Steve delivers game and vulnerability in equal measure. He talks about his own children, especially his daughters and how difficult it is to protect them while in the public eye but also where to draw the line between fame and privacy. This conversation goes far beyond words — it's a blueprint for building a meaningful life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
