Podcasts about hard work

Welcome to another episode of the You Can Call Me “Bossy" podcast. In today's conversation I sit down with powerhouse publicist KJ Blattenbauer, a champion for bold brands and especially female founders. With nearly three decades of PR experience, KJ shares her unapologetic approach to visibility, reframing the word “bossy” as a badge of leadership, credibility, and empowerment rather than an insult. Together, KJ and I dive into the challenges women face around judgment, fear of being “too much,” and the conditioning that encourages us to shrink instead of shining in our ambition. This episode is packed with real talk about embracing your power, the importance of claiming authority, navigating corporate dynamics, and why being your own hype woman is not just okay—it's essential. From stories about corporate America to advice for women wanting to blaze their own path, KJ offers inspiration, tangible strategies, and a big permission slip to be visible and authentic—bossiness and all. If you've ever worried about being called “too bossy,” this conversation will help you see it as your superpower. Let's get into it! Key Takeaways: The distinction between hard work out of alignment vs. hard work that fuels passion Importance of “brand words” and consistently owning one's narrative The importance of lifting each other up and breaking the cycle Key Timestamps [1:05] – Permission to Be Yourself [9:26] – Share Your Creation Boldly [19:33] – Reprogramming Leadership for Women [33:08] – Hard Work and Midlife Joy [37:30] – Visibility Advice for Ambitious Women [41:06] - Defining and Showcasing Brand Identity Episode Quote "Why am I apologizing for who I am?

Composer Geoff Knorr — known for his work on the Civilization series and other large-scale game soundtracks — joins us for a deep conversation about creativity, discipline, and what it really takes to build a life in music.We discuss learning to accept criticism, letting go of ideas that don't work, why good music can still be the wrong music, and why some composers grow while others stay stuck. Drawing from Geoff's experience composing for major games, teaching at the Peabody Institute, and collaborating with musicians across diverse musical traditions, the conversation explores humility, perspective, and long-term creative growth.The episode also touches on health, sustainability, and discipline — from staying physically active as a composer to recognizing that music is simply too hard to pursue unless you genuinely love it.GEOFF KNORR LINKS:Website: https://www.geoffknorr.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@KnorrMusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OFCjpSAsyIOWWzIAYb3OI?si=_eoobKhuQTSmDIWa4DYmjgApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/geoff-knorr/411130469Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/geoff.knorrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Geoff-Knorr-Composer/174736382555080Markus Junnikkala is a Composer from Finland.https://www.markusjunnikkala.com/Support this podcast by becoming a member:https://markusjunnikkala.com/membership/Want me to answer your question?Ask it on social media:https://www.instagram.com/markusjunnikkala/https://www.facebook.com/markusjunnikkala/https://x.com/markusjunnikkalhttps://www.reddit.com/user/markusjunnikkala/https://www.linkedin.com/in/markusjunnikkala/Subscribing, sharing, and liking helps the podcast.TIMESTAMPS:(00:00:08) Introduction(00:02:16) Growing Up, Family, and Early Influences(00:08:32) Sports, Discipline, Health & Longevity as a Composer(00:13:19) Failure, Hard Work & Lessons From Sports(00:16:37) Subjectivity, Criticism & Facing Reality in Music(00:23:14) Letting Go of Music That Doesn't Work(00:27:19) Teaching, Mediocrity & Why Some Musicians Don't Improve(00:34:15) Game Music Reality: Serving the Vision (Beyond Earth)(00:38:19) Technology, Early MIDI & Audio Foundations(00:45:33) Collaboration, Culture & Working With Musicians(00:51:35) Childhood, Encouragement & Learning to Love Music(00:56:05) Classical Foundations, Bach & Musical Identity(01:01:04) Why Music Is Too Hard If You Don't Love It(01:05:11) Video Games, Direction & Choosing a Career Path(01:16:10) Studying Composition, Recording & Wearing Both Hats(01:30:10) Composing Process: Score, DAW & Sample Libraries(01:46:00) Improvisation, Structure & Non-Western Traditions(02:02:10) Trust, Sensitivity & Recording Real Musicians(02:18:40) Sound vs Notes: Where Music Actually Lives(02:36:00) Experience, Speed & Long-Term Creative Thinking(02:57:30) What Keeps You Going (Final Reflections)

In this episode of the Elevate Media Podcast, Chris Anderson welcomes Jay Setchell, a remarkable guest whose life journey embodies extreme resilience. Raised on a farm, a Marine Corps veteran, an entrepreneur, and a corporate leader, Jay has faced and overcome unimaginable challenges, including dying three times, a debilitating accident that left him paralyzed, and 73 surgeries. He discusses how these experiences shifted his entire perspective on life, purpose, and commitment, contrasting his generation's "suck it up" philosophy with the current societal push for "safe places." This is a raw and uncompromising conversation about finding strength within pain, adjusting your mindset, and why giving up is simply not an option.In this episode, you will learn:What fundamentally changes in a man's mind and purpose after multiple near-death experiences.The profound difference between "hope" and "true belief/faith" when pursuing goals.The concept of "The Set of the Sail" and how a slight adjustment in attitude can change your entire direction.Why Jay believes modern society is raising a "country of soft people" and what is owed to their parents.The mindset and commitment required for an entrepreneur to succeed, and why it's better to make less money doing what you love.How to harness anger, frustration, or even chronic pain to drive yourself forward and accomplish what you need to do.Jay's conviction that "it's always too soon to quit" and that a life of service and helping others is the ultimate purpose.

A fresh calendar won't change your life—your habits will. We kick things off with a light jab at New Year superstitions and quickly get into the real drivers of progress: discipline, honest self-audits, and the courage to adapt when your industry shifts under your feet. If you've felt the pull of comfort or the lure of blaming “the system,” you'll hear why we're doubling down on ownership this year and stacking more “lottery tickets” by writing, showing up, and doing the work even when it isn't glamorous.We also share what it takes to perform live when the weather fights back, why we refuse to lean on tracks, and how authenticity reads from the stage—especially on a freezing New Year's Eve. From there, we rewind our most-watched conversations of the year and unpack why those episodes hit so hard. Names like John Rich, Jason Aldean, Kirk Herbstreit, Hulk Hogan, and Rob O'Neill brought stories that stuck with us, and we lay out a bold wish list for the next run—think Peyton Manning, Jeff Foxworthy, Dennis Quaid, and Dale Jr. If you've got a guest in mind, we want to hear it.The heart of this one is about people and priorities. We talk circles of trust, boundaries, and how to spot relationships that drain more than they give. When is it worth trying to reconcile, and when is a “hard cut” the healthiest move? The answers aren't soft, but they are simple: loyalty matters, reciprocity matters, and your time is precious. Traditions can be fun—black-eyed peas, cornbread, cabbage—but they're not engines for change. Systems are. If you're stepping into a new year, consider this your nudge to set goals you act on today, not after midnight.If this hit home, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and drop a comment with the guest you want to hear next. And if you're feeling generous, leave a quick review—it helps more folks find the show.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

Let's do this! The Cult of Hockey podcast. By the Faithful and for the Faithful. Today Kurt Leavins and David Staples of the Edmonton Journal digs into the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 loss to the Flames of Calgary

Top of the league but only 1 goal from 9.23(xG) in the last four games. Why is it such hard work? I'm joined by Adam Keys, host of @ArsenalTherapy.

I feel Looking for Work Is Hard Work. One of the biggest misunderstandings about unemployment or career change is the idea that looking for work is something you do casually, or in between other things. A few clicks here, a few applications there, maybe scrolling on some job boards late at night from the couch. And then the frustration sets in when the phone doesn't start ringing.  The truth is simple, and sometimes uncomfortable to hear but looking for work is hard work. And I think if we don't treat it like a job, it rarely is going to produce job level results.  We need to remember that finding work requires structure, discipline, preparation, and accountability, just like any role on the warehouse floor, in operations, or in leadership. The people who land jobs consistently aren't lucky. They're intentional. They are working a plan.  I'm Marty and today on Warehouse and Operations as a Career I wanted to expand on how hard looking for a job is. We spoke on a few of the topics back in week 37, what was that title, oh, week 37 & Jobs, and I mentioned the phrase on last weeks show. I received a couple of questions on it so I thought we'd spend a few minutes on it today.    I always say treat the job search like our present job. If you were scheduled to work a shift, you wouldn't roll out of bed whenever you felt like it. You wouldn't decide halfway through the day whether you felt motivated enough to show up. You'd get up, get ready, and get started. Our job search deserves the same respect! We still need set our alarm. Start our day with purpose and block out time or schedule what hours we're going to spend specifically for job searching.  That means planning for things like reviewing the online job boards, checking local classified ads, monitoring all your local Facebook job groups, following company career pages, and planning time to make phone calls, sending out follow-ups, and networking.  This isn't something you squeeze in when you have time. This is our work. I mentioned job boards, I see too many people rely on a single job board and assume that's enough, and its not! We need to check those things multiple times a day or throughout our scheduled hours for the day. Oh, and it's proven that our friends are an excellent resource. They have jobs and they can share the good and the bad about them. Maybe we can even get a referral from them. We'll want to be careful there though, in our industry, sometimes hiring relatives or friends are frowned on. But I've always found them to be a great resource.   Ok, where was I, I think I skipped a few bullet points there, oh, and I wanted to say you'd be surprised how many job openings never make it to the job boards and are hired through word of mouth.  I think we have to network like our career depends on it.  Just let people know what kind of work you're looking for and what experience we bring to the table.  We need to mention what shift or role we're open to and when we're available. I've found a short, honest conversation can open doors faster than 100 online applications.  Next is our resume, your resume must match the job you want. And please remember a resume isn't a life story. It's more of sales document. Its sole job is to clearly show what you can do, where you've done it, and how that experience matches the job you're applying for. If you're applying for a forklift position, your resume should highlight equipment types, years of experience, and the different environments you've worked in, things like narrow aisle, the outside yards, ramps, coolers or freezers, those types of things. And keywords like safety training and any certifications we've had and productivity expectations we've worked with. If you're applying for leadership role, it should mention your team oversight and training responsibilities, any metrics you managed and the accountability you were held to. One generic resume for every job rarely works. Tailor it to the position you're applying for.   And please only apply for jobs you can actually succeed at. This is one of the most important, and most ignored points. One-click apply buttons have created bad habits. Clicking apply on dozens of jobs you aren't qualified for doesn't increase your chances. It actually hurts them. It wastes your time, and the recruiter or the hiring manager's time.  Remember recruiters are reviewing hundreds of resumes. When they see applicants who clearly don't meet basic requirements, it creates frustration, and it lowers the quality of the process for everyone. Our resume may end up in a discard pile just because we have no experiences for that position. Even if we'd be a great fit for something else they have open.   Apply for jobs where you meet the basic core qualifications, where you have experience in the position and you can realistically perform the work. In our light industrial world quality beats quantity every time.  Another biggie, be honest with recruiters. Recruiters aren't the enemy. Think of them as the gatekeepers. We should be honest about our experience, our availability, our  transportation, our work history, and very important, what you want, and what you don't want. Overselling yourself may get you a phone call, but it rarely gets you called in for the face to face or hired long-term. Worse, it can damage our reputation with a company or an agency.  And if you schedule an appointment, show up. Nothing ends a job opportunity faster than a no-show interview. If something comes up, communicate. Life happens. But our silence looks like irresponsibility.  I won't harp too much on this one, I get several emails every time I bring it up, but clean up your social media, they can and will look. This part surprises people, but it shouldn't. Social media is public, and right or wrong, opinions can be formed from it. Recruiters and hiring managers often check social media. Not to judge your personal life, but to look for red flags. At least ask yourself. Is my profile public? And by the way locked profile may be considered a red flag. What would an employer see in 10 seconds? Do my posts reflect maturity and professionalism? Offensive language, threats, constant negativity, or posts bragging about skipping work don't help your case. You don't need to erase who you are, just be smart about what you display publicly. Ok, enough on that!  Moving on, lets be ready for the phone interview. And this is important. The phone interview is not casual. It's often the most important 5 minutes of the entire process. You may have only 30 seconds to make an impression. By the time the recruiter calls they've reviewed dozens, maybe hundreds of resumes. They're deciding quickly who moves forward.  Now this is going to be a cold call. If we are busy, watching the children, or outside, or maybe driving, we can share that, and ask if we could give them a call back at so and so time. They do not mind that. They want us focused, and ready to speak with them. We need to be ready when they call or we call them back. That means have your resume in front of you, be in a quiet place, be focused, answer clearly and confidently. Be ready know how to explain our experience, why we're a good fit, and what we're looking for or why we answered this ad. Preparation matters. This is our one shot at getting that face to face interview.  When you walk into that interview, you're already being evaluated, before you say a word. Remember to dress for the role. If the position requires steel-toe footwear wear them, dress in warehouse attire, look ready, and talk about PPE awareness, show and state what you know. You don't need to overdress, but you do need to show you understand the environment and are prepared to work in it. It sends a clear message, I'm ready to go to work today.  Now if we like the job and are offered it, when we say yes or accept it, show up. There is nothing wrong with saying this position isn't going to be for me. We shouldn't shake our head yes if inside we know we're saying no. Of course, things may come up, and all we have to do is communicate that. Don't burn bridges. If another place has called us and we're accepting that job, just call and let the hiring agent know.   Like I mentioned earlier, discipline wins the job search. Looking for work can be exhausting. It's easy to get discouraged, especially after rejections or silence. But the people who succeed are the ones who stay the course, and stay disciplined.  They treat the search like a job, stay organized, follow up, show up, prepare, and are confident.  All that makes it sound easy, it's not, but it will happen. I've always felt that a job search isn't about luck, It's about effort and consistency.  If you're serious about finding work, treat the process with the same seriousness you would expect from an employer. Show up for it, prepare for it, and respect it. Because looking for work is hard work, and when you do it right, it leads to something even harder, and much more rewarding.  A career.  Well, there's a bit on the subject. If you know of anyone seeking employment, please recommend the episode to them, and as always please feel free to send us a message with any thoughts or comments. We love getting questions and topics from the group. On top of all that, please be safe out there, our loved ones need us happy and well this time of year and always. 

Jesus calls us to forgive, but that doesn't mean it's easy. What is easy is to hold onto bitterness, resentment, and to hold onto those debts that our debtors owe us... but Christ calls us to live differently. To live free and to forgive because He freed and forgave us. I know this message may be hard for some, but my friend Yana Jenay Conner gracefully invites us all to walk out in forgivness and live beyond offense God's way, and her story will inspire you to do the same!

The holidays are supposed to be magical… so why do they feel like a full-time job no one applied for? In this unapologetically grinchy episode, Jayna drops her Holiday Grinch List and counts down the 10 things she HATES about Christmas  This isn't about poo poo-ing festive fun — it's about calling out how wildly complicated we've made the holidays, especially for women. Expect laughs, truth bombs, relatable rants, and a reminder that the real magic isn't in the gifts, décor, or perfectly curated moments — it's in presence, connection, and chilling the f*ck out.  If you've ever felt overwhelmed, overstimulated, or secretly wanted to cancel Christmas (but dont want to be considered a grinch), this episode gives you a safe space to admit, it can be HARD WORK pulling all the strings behind the scenes. 

In this opinion column, Elizabeth New (Hovde) of the Washington Policy Center argues that Washington's push toward a universal, taxpayer-financed health care system would create new problems with cost, access, and rationing, and urges policymakers to pursue patient-centered reforms that emphasize competition and transparency. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-hard-work-is-being-done-to-try-to-trade-one-bad-health-care-system-for-another/ #Opinion #HealthCarePolicy #UniversalHealthCare #WashingtonPolicyCenter #WashingtonState #PublicPolicy

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Michael Burgess, Chief People Officer at Amey, to unpack what it really takes to build credibility, influence, and impact in HR when you don't start with privilege, pedigree, or permission.Michael shares his journey from leaving school at 16 and working as a farm labourer, to becoming a CPO responsible for people, culture, safety, and operations at scale. Along the way, he explains why hard work consistently beats talent, and why enjoying the work itself is the most underrated driver of long-term performance.Most importantly, he breaks down a deeply practical view of modern HR, why getting the basics right earns you the seat at the table, why listening without action destroys trust, and how widening the talent pool through second-chance hiring, apprenticeships, and prison-to-work pathways is not charity, but smart, future-ready leadership.

As Christmas approaches, Brian From reflects on the tension between seasonal joy and a world marked by violence, loss, and uncertainty, reminding listeners why the message of “good news of great joy for all people” matters precisely when darkness feels overwhelming. The show takes a lighter—but revealing—turn with a discussion of a lawsuit asking whether pets should be recognized as legal dependents, sparking a broader conversation about modern priorities and cultural shifts. Brian closes by exploring why joy can feel so difficult, even in Advent, and why true joy is not rooted in circumstances but anchored in the hope found in Christ.

  On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty breaks down the three phases that separate average salespeople from top producers: mastering your presentation, closing the deal, and handling objections. Building on the foundation of dialing and setting appointments, Ty takes you through what happens next.   Ty opens up about a turning point with his mentor who told him, "Ty, I know you can go and sell, but your process is not duplicatable." That feedback led to the creation of a simple 12-15 minute flip chart presentation that explains Medicare in a way that builds trust and credibility. You'll hear the story of knocking on a mayor's door, being challenged to prove himself in just 15 minutes, and how that one presentation led to nine deals and referrals to every city council member in that small town.   The episode breaks down why facts don't sell but stories do. Ty explains how to master the presentation, make it your own, and learn the lingo so you can answer questions with confidence. He shares real examples of bad sales pitches he receives daily and contrasts them with the right approach: asking questions to find the prospect's "heartburn" before jumping into a pitch.   Ty gets tactical about the close, emphasizing that if you've done your job in the presentation and asked the right questions, closing should be easy. He breaks down what makes a true prospect: someone who's willing to listen, has a need, and has the ability to pay. And if affordability becomes an issue? That's on you to create enough value. Ty uses the example of people who insure their cell phones but claim they can't afford a cancer plan. It's about creating value, not price.   The episode wraps with Ty's message: know your numbers, track your numbers, master the presentation before you try to reinvent it, and always identify a true prospect by asking questions. Whether you're in insurance, door-to-door sales, or any other industry, these principles apply.   As always, we would like to hear from you!   Email us at thetybradyway@gmail.com   Or DM us on Instagram @thetybradyway

We were all told the same story. Work hard, get an education, and the world will reward you. Dr. Eliza Filby joins us to explain why that story has quietly collapsed, and why inheritance, family money, and generational wealth now shape your future more than anything you do on your own. This episode breaks down the truth about the great wealth transfer, why millennials feel like they are failing, why men are angrier, why women are more stressed than ever, why Gen Z sees the world more clearly than we did, and why most people's lives are shaped by money they never earned and stories they never questioned. If you have ever wondered why life feels harder than it was for your parents, this conversation will change the way you see work, success, family, and the future.

This week, Helen and Sarah revisit insights from three podcast guests—Amy Gallo, Celeste Headlee, and Dr. Sunita Sah—to tackle a topic many of us shy away from: difficult conversations.From team conflicts and moments of defensiveness to speaking up when something feels off, these everyday challenges can shape how we collaborate, grow, and thrive.In this episode, you'll learn practical strategies to handle tension with ease: turning irritation into curiosity, using affirmations to stay grounded, and recognising the early “tension signals” that signal it's time to speak up. You'll learn how to navigate disagreements without defensiveness, communicate with confidence, and act in alignment with your values—even when it's uncomfortable.Episode 516

Journalist and author Sam Quinones talks about his newest book, The Perfect Tuba: Forging Fulfillment from the Brass Horn, Band, and Hard Work with EconTalk's Russ Roberts. Known for his reporting on the opioid crisis, Quinones turns to a more uplifting subject--the world of tuba players and high school marching bands. What begins as curiosity about an unusual instrument evolves into a moving exploration of how discipline, community, and devotion to craft can restore meaning and purpose in people's lives.

Litchfield Distillery (Litchfield, CT) WF078 Join me as I enter New England as part of the Great 48 Tour. Today I chat with Peter Baker, a co-founder of Litchfield Distillery in Connecticut. Along with his two brothers they made a decision to expand beyond their three-generation family bottled water business and get into the world of whiskey. We'll talk talk about their development of an American single malt, their use of Connecticut grain, taste a couple of whiskeys including their oldest release to date. And we'll dig a little into the history of bottled water (no, it isn't a recent phenomena). We'll also hear the story behind their logo and tagline, and the importance of legislative changes that allowed them to offer tastings and on-site sales. And, if you'd like to gift a signed copy of Whiskey Lore's Travel Guide to Experiencing Kentucky, The Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey, or Experiencing Irish Whiskey for Christmas, make sure to order at whiskeylore.org/shop before December 12th to get them for a great low price and free shipping.

SummaryDo you feel like you're doing everything right but still not seeing the results you want? In this episode, Chase and Chris talk about why working hard isn't always enough — especially if you're only focusing on part of the picture. They explain how your results come from stacking multiple habits like sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition — not just one or two.They give real-life examples from clients, show how to spot what's holding you back, and share ways to build better systems so you're not relying on willpower alone. You'll also hear how tracking your consistency and focusing on one change at a time can help you move forward faster — even if it feels slow at first. This episode is all about getting real, removing guilt, and putting the puzzle pieces together to make lasting change.Chapters(00:00) Why You're Working So Hard...

In this episode, I talk about something that we don't address enough: the hard work of Permaculture is boring. It's not heroic. It doesn't make for a great YouTube short or video to add to your story. The pictures that come out of it are rarely art, or something you'd want to post to Instagram. I hope this episode reminds you why we show up day after day, week after week, for the small, routine tasks of permaculture. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend who might be struggling on their journey right now, so it can be a bit of encouragement to keep going, even when it's tedious.  Until the next time, spend each day showing up and putting in the work, as you care for Earth, yourself, and each other.

You ever have the feeling what you see on the news and socials is exactly and only what they want you to hear? Yeah, me too. Turns out it's true. Very rarely do you get the full story so you can make your own informed decisions. And, this practice is skewing and distorting the way we view and interact with the world. My guest today, Jeremy Carey – Founder of IRONCLAD, knows exactly what this is about and in his new series (partnered with Shawn Ryan), Target Intelligence: Psyop, they unpack exactly how this is happening in every aspect of life. We talk about what he calls the "Forgotten Audience" and the "Doer Class," the power of telling good stories – accurately, why authenticity is the key to success in an inauthentic world, and understanding the "Education-to-Entertainment" ratio in consuming content.
