In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 298), I open one small word that carries enormous spiritual weight—the word nevertheless. From 2 Timothy 2:15–19, we are reminded that error, deception, and cultural pressure can never weaken the foundation of God. False teaching may spread like gangrene, but truth remains untouched. The Word of God stands sure, regardless of who argues against it, mocks it, or misunderstands it. Tracing this word through Scripture—from Elisha's bold faith in 2 Kings 2, to God's mercy in Psalm 106, and finally to Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane—we discover that nevertheless is the fulcrum of faith. It is how believers stand firm, pray hard prayers, trust God for miracles, and rest their hope fully on the cross. When everything shakes, this word anchors us: God is faithful, Christ has died for us, and His truth will never fail. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - Leaders Notebook(00:04:10) - A Word of Life(00:05:37) - 2 Timothy 1: Nevertheless(00:07:31) - The Attack on the Fundamental Truths of the Bible(00:15:12) - The Nevertheless of Faith in a Hard Thing(00:20:16) - A teenage boy in the desert(00:22:31) - Third Psalm(00:25:47) - Crucified Jesus(00:29:03) - The Leader's Notebook
Is it clear that something has to change, but you're afraid to make a move? How do you know when it's time to throw in the towel? And how does “hope” fuel anxiety and keep us stuck? Whether it's our business, a relationship, or whatever, we tend to stay stuck in a painful place because we don't want to do the hard thing. Today, Alyson and I discuss why we avoid reality, how we can reclaim our power, and what we can ultimately do to allow peace of mind. https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2026/02/staying-stuck-moving-forward COACHING → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com BOOK → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1879DMLewis gets brutally honest about something most of us are doing right now without realizing the damage: avoiding hard situations. Like, for Lewis, having hard conversations with people. He used to sweat thinking about difficult talks with people he cared about, overanalyzing every word, dreading the discomfort so intensely that he'd just... not do it. But here's what he discovered: that avoidance wasn't protecting anyone. It was creating constant stress in his body, this low-grade anxiety that never went away. He was abandoning himself every time he chose comfort over truth. And the longer he waited, the louder that internal scream became, slowly eroding his self-trust and self-belief.Here's the shift that changes everything: confidence doesn't come from affirmations or motivation or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from doing the one uncomfortable thing you've been putting off. Maybe it's that conversation, that call, that message you need to send. Whatever it is, it's probably creating more stress by avoiding it than actually doing it would. Even something as simple as moving your body for 10 minutes daily builds self-respect because you're showing up, you're listening to yourself, you're proving you can do hard things. Consistency beats intensity every single time. When you stop seeing yourself as someone who avoids discomfort and start seeing yourself as someone who handles it (who maybe even loves it) everything changes. Do one hard thing today. That's it.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Another hour with Dan Cook in for Jason DeRusha and of course it is Friday so we are playing Card DeSharks and we also discuss the hard question of how to receive a duplicate gift which you already have!
We often look for ways to reduce the load on our brains, seeking shortcuts and optimizations to get ahead. Sometimes this works, reinforcing the belief that we can hack our way around every problem. However, this episode addresses the truth that many fundamental aspects of your career require something difficult, messy, slow, or inefficient, demanding deep thought and repeated failure.This episode details the difficult truths about facing the most essential challenges in your career:Understand the Hard Path: Recognize that many aspects of your career, skill set, relationships, and hobbies require something difficult, messy, slow, or inefficient, demanding deep thought and repeated failure.Identify Your Primary Obstacles: Pinpoint the hard things you are procrastinating on, such as developing essential domain knowledge, deepening relationships with crucial co-workers or your manager, or getting the necessary "reps" of difficult building and practice.The Path to Mastery: Realize that becoming a great engineer (e.g., a great Python developer) is achieved not by reading books or finding perfect tools, but by building things over and over. This practice includes receiving feedback from peers and applying what you learn under challenge.The Pain of Decision: Explore why it is difficult to even decide to do a hard thing. By committing to the challenging path, you are choosing to cut off your optionality and giving up the hope of finding an easier, lower-investment alternative.Sustaining Commitment: Understand that initial motivation or an energetic feeling will not carry you through the obstacle when the development process becomes awkward, slow, or frustrating. Staying committed requires reinforcing your core underlying reason for doing the hard work.The Reward: Recognize that if you successfully address the hard thing you know needs doing, everything else in your life and career becomes easier.

Reset Your Life Thermostat: Simple Shifts to Reignite Your Drive and Redefine Success What if your life's limits weren't determined by circumstance—but by the temperature you've set for yourself? In this mashup episode, I'm bringing together six powerhouse conversations with Tony Robbins, Rob Dyrdek, Steve Weatherford, Brendon Burchard, Christina Pazsitzky, and Tom Bilyeu to explore the subtle but radical shifts that can reset your life's thermostat and raise your internal standard for success, fulfillment, and peace. Tony Robbins breaks down the science of transformation—why immersion, conditioning, and emotional state are the foundation of real change. Rob Dyrdek takes us behind the stunts and success stories to reveal what true life optimization looks like when you're building a life by design instead of by default. Steve Weatherford opens his heart in one of the rawest conversations I've ever had—showing how self-hate can masquerade as ambition, and how the real victory is learning to love yourself, not just your achievements. Then Brendon Burchard lays out the habits that high performers master to stay consistent, productive, and grounded—how to move the needle daily instead of getting lost in busywork. Christina Pazsitzky shares how forgiveness, humor, and meaning can turn even the hardest pain into redemption and perspective. And Tom Bilyeu reminds us that failure isn't a verdict—it's the birthplace of greatness. He proves that your past does not define you; the story you choose to write next does. Every one of these conversations points back to one truth: your life will always rise—or fall—to the level of your identity. When you change who you believe you are, your actions, habits, and outcomes follow. Whether it's resetting your mindset, rewriting your story, or rebuilding your routines, the next version of you is waiting on the other side of one decision. Key Takeaways: Your identity is your thermostat—raise it, and every area of your life follows. (Ed Mylett) Transformation happens through conditioning and immersion, not quick fixes. (Tony Robbins) True fulfillment comes when you optimize your life for what matters most, not just for success. (Rob Dyrdek) Achievement without self-love is self-destruction in disguise. (Steve Weatherford) Focus 60% of your effort on needle-moving actions that create impact. (Brendon Burchard) Healing and happiness start with choosing new meaning for your past. (Christina Pazsitzky) Failure is feedback—a gift that exposes the next level of your potential. (Tom Bilyeu) You don't need a perfect plan. You just need to make the decision to turn up your life's temperature—to demand more from yourself, to love yourself deeper, and to believe that you were born for something extraordinary.

A former NCAA All-American and SEC Champion for the Gators, Kim believes that a leader's first job is to coach themselves, and only then can they coach those they lead. Guided by John Wooden's reminder that “We need to treat them all the same, differently,” she challenges the outdated approach of coaching the game without attention to the person, inspiring future leaders to create environments where athletes and employees truly thrive. About Kim Bastable Kim Bastable is the creator and lead instructor of the University of Florida's Director of Racquet Sports program, the first-of-its-kind university-based curriculum focused on leadership and business in the racquets industry.

Welcome back to Missionary Roundtable! In this episode I talk to Vinny Nigro. He and his wife Meghan are missionaries to Kosovo, currently on the deputation and fundraising trail. Vinny's story is one of redemption--from the jail cell, to salvation, to the mission field. Vinny and Meghan spent a year in Albania as part of a missions internship. We will talk about how God brought him to that point, and how God used that internship to further equip and prepare him for the mission they are getting ready to do now. If you would like to learn more about the Nigro's journey to Kosovo, or give to support them, or invite them to share at your church, you can learn more about them and contact them here: https://www.christ4kosovo.com/ Kale's new book Brainwashed: https://a.co/d/eCoP06Q New episodes are now released whenever available, not in a seasonal format.

Palm oil is everywhere—from food to cosmetics to biofuels—but its production is a leading cause of deforestation, habitat destruction, and greenhouse gas emissions. What if we could have all the benefits of palm oil without the downsides? Enter NoPalm Ingredients, a Dutch biotech startup using fermentation to produce a sustainable alternative to palm oil—without the need for palm trees. Instead of chopping down rainforests, they're upcycling agricultural waste, feeding it to their specialty yeast, and brewing a fat with the same characteristics as high-end palm oil in the process. The company's raised €6 million to date and has already done a trial run of its process in a massive 120,000-liter fermenter. In this episode, I'm joined by NoPalm's CEO, Lars Langhout, to talk about how microbial oils can disrupt a $60 billion industry, whether fermentation is the future of fats, and the challenges of scaling a sustainable solution. Could NoPalm Ingredients make deforestation-free oils the new norm? If they have their way, perhaps so. Discussed in this episode The fateful short 2020 article that inspired Lars to start NoPalm Ingredients. Lars was also inspired by Bowery Farming CEO Irving Fain. Lars recommends reading The Hard Thing about Hard Things and Radical Candor Our past episodes with Lingrove (tree-free wood) and Abiom (wood-fed meat). Get to know Lars Langhout Lars Langhout is the co-founder and CEO of NoPalm Ingredients, a biotech pioneer company he established in 2021 alongside Prof. Dr. Jeroen Hugenholtz. Leveraging his background in strategy consulting and an MBA (CBS '16), Lars leads the team in developing sustainable, locally produced alternatives to palm oil. Under his leadership, NoPalm Ingredients has achieved significant milestones, including scaling their fermentation process from benchtop experiments to industrial-scale production of 120m3 within three years. This innovative approach transforms agri-food side streams into high-quality, food-grade palm-oil alternatives.

It's no secret that the alternative protein startups are struggling these days. A combination of lower revenue, intense competition, and less available venture capital is leading to a contraction in the sector, with countless alt-meat and dairy companies conducting layoffs, declaring bankruptcy, and even folding altogether. Enter Ahimsa Companies, a newly formed investment group acquiring promising but distressed plant-based brands. This isn't charity, though. Ahimsa's belief is that, with their consolidation strategy and pooled resources, these brands that are built on a strong underlying product can become profitable under the Ahimsa umbrella. As Ahimsa CEO Matt Tullman says in this conversation, pendulums swing, and many of these companies can be brought to profitability, meaning they could ultimately be sold at a much higher price than their valuation during this period in which plant-based products are in the valley. So far the company has acquired Wicked Foods, Simulate's Nuggs, Blackbird Pizza, an Ohio plant-based foods manufacturing plant, and more. Matt is a man of many talents, as you'll hear in this episode. In addition to being CEO of Ahimsa Companies, he founded and sold his own education tech company, and is also the co-founder and CEO of Outlier Health, the parent company of supplement company Complement and of No Meat Athlete. He's both a missionary for plant-based lifestyles and a mercenary seeking to combine his passion for plant-based foods with profit. Discussed in this episode Ahimsa Companies is looking for plant-based startups to acquire. Here's an analysis of their strategy and history. Interview with Matt in which he describes Ahimsa's goal by declaring that “we've got to step up and try to help these companies survive.” Story about Ahimsa's acquisition of the Plant Plant in Ohio. Both Paul and Matt are interested in AI's potential to enable human-nonhuman communication, something Noa Weiss discussed on a past episode. Matt recommends reading both The Hard Thing about Hard Things and The Surrender Experiment. Matt also recommends Paul Graham's essay, Do Things That Don't Scale. More about Matt Tullman Matt is the co-founder and Group CEO of the Ahimsa Companies – a private equity firm acquiring and operating best-in-class plant-based food and manufacturing companies. He is also the co-founder and CEO of Outlier Health, the parent company of Complement and No Meat Athlete, which have served nearly 13 million people just in the past three years. He's also an investor in health/food/bev startups, and a contributor to Inc. Magazine. Previously Matt founded a ed-tech firm that was ultimately acquired by Stride Education (NYSE: LRN). Matt is most proud of bootstrapping a business that was named to the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies in 2021. He has dedicated his career to growing nutrition-first health companies to help catalyze the movement to a plant-based lifestyle for the mainstream consumer.
