Eight Super Bowl rings. Six with the Patriots. And a mindset that goes far deeper than football. In this rare, wide-ranging conversation, Bill Belichick breaks down the invisible factors behind sustained excellence: discipline, preparation, and the mental edge that separates contenders from champions. He shares the surprising reason he kept Tom Brady as a fourth-string rookie, why talent alone is never enough at the highest level, and how true competitors find ways to win long after their gifts fade.  You'll hear why Belichick cut a player the week of the Super Bowl, how technology is changing player preparation and locker room culture, and why “we have control of the game” became the rallying belief in the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history. This episode covers everything from how he decides when to push a player—or pull back—to how trust is built inside elite teams. Belichick also explains why the price of success is always paid in advance—and why there's no shortcut around the work. If you lead a team, or want to lead yourself better, this episode is a masterclass from the greatest football mind of our time.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (00:42) Patriots' Employee Guiding Principles (04:25) Talent vs Hard Work (05:43) Competitive Spirit (10:38) You Cannot Win Until You Keep From Losing (15:11) The Drawer and Prioritizing Your Goals (17:07) Social Media, Technology, and Football (24:45) Preparation and Success (27:55) Confidence In The NFL (29:45) Kobe Bryant & Learning To Evolve As You Get Older (31:02) Other Guest Speakers And Their Lessons (32:28) Disciplining NFL Players (39:45) Working Your Way Up & How To Train Staff (47:56) Motivation & Discipline (56:08) Correcting Mistakes and Moving On (58:28) Building A Team vs Collecting Talent (01:00:13) How Has NFL Coaching Changed In The Last 5 Years?

Send us a textWhat if homeschooling were the entrepreneurial version of education? In this perspective-shifting conversation, Dan Mori, Managing Partner of Staffing Mastery, explores how rethinking traditional approaches to parenting and education has transformed his family's life.Dan shares his journey from initial skepticism about alternative schooling to becoming a passionate advocate, explaining how his wife's entrepreneurial framing helped him see education differently: "Entrepreneurs find better, more efficient ways of doing things. With homeschooling, you can learn how your kids learn and put them in programs that spark their interests." This customized approach has allowed his three children to pursue their unique passions - from parkour and skateboarding to performing arts.The heart of this episode revolves around meaningful life lessons passed from one generation to the next. Dan recounts a powerful story from his childhood about his mother teaching him that "it's not what you give, it's what you sacrifice" - a principle that guided him and his brother to donate their favorite toys to a family who had lost everything in a house fire. This lesson in empathy continues to shape how he parents today.Perhaps most valuable is Dan's insight into understanding each child's unique needs. He shares a breakthrough moment helping his son with a science project, where he discovered his son needed visual learning rather than written instructions: "I need to do a better job taking a step back and trying to understand the individual needs of different people in my household, and meet them where they're at versus where I think they should be." This distinction between expectations and agreements forms a powerful framework for better communication with our children.Connect with Dan on LinkedIn to learn more about his work with Staffing Mastery and the Staffing Sales Summit, where he helps staffing industry professionals improve their sales practices through actionable insights and peer learning.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

Send us a textTIME TO GET TO WEALTH BUILDING. Hard Work Is Required. Weakness Won't Do

Everyone wants “the good life”—but what does that actually mean? Money, Power, Influence? That's culture's definition, but Jesus answers that question in the Sermon on the Mount, where He lays out a vision of life that's fuller, freer, and deeper than anything the world offers. It's not about chasing status, stuff, or surface-level peace. It's about becoming the kind of person who reflects Heaven on Earth. In this series, we'll explore how to live the good life—Jesus' way. Welcome to Episode three of The Good Life: Heart Work is Hard Work

Today I want to talk with you about hard work. I don't mean how to buckle down and do the hard work. We all know that playing the harp is hard, and we spend a lot of time working out practice techniques, strategies and routines to help us play the music we want in spite of the difficulties. No, what I want to talk about today is how to get out of the “just buckle down and do it” mindset. The truth is that when it comes to playing the harp or even music in general, sometimes trying harder is counter-productive. For instance, the harder we try to get that harmonic to ring, the more it just thuds. The harder we try to play faster, the more our fingers become tense and so they don't have the flexibility and agility required for speed. The more we drill those recalcitrant two measures, the moe they refuse to flow.  But if hard work isn't the answer, what is? Let me be clear. Hard work, or at least work, is necessary. But the way we approach a difficulty in our harp playing shouldn't be - cannot be - the same way we solve other kinds of problems. The solution to these difficulties usually lies in the music itself, which is something we most often ignore as we try to do what seems impossible.  The approach I want to explore with you today is about looking at challenges, difficulties or frustrations through a musical lens. You truly don't need to hammer away at that thing that isn't working. You can use more creative and much less stressful ways to solve it, with the added benefit of keeping the musical and expressive goals front of mind. I have three very specific suggestions for you, ones that are simple to implement and which will give you surprisingly quick results. It's time to stop beating your head against the wall, don't you think?

Does It Really Work? | Week 4 | Does Forgiveness Really Work? | Pastor Tyler Sollie | Life Center Tacoma Forgiveness isn't a FEELING “Forgiveness is granted (often a good while) before it is felt—not felt before it is granted. It is a promise to not exact the price of sin from the person who hurt you." "If you wait to feel it before you grant it, you'll never grant it; you'll be in an anger prison.” -Tim Keller Colossians 3:12-13 (CSB) For a Jesus follower, FORGIVENESS isn't OPTIONAL Forgiveness is HARD WORK because it is HEART WORK Matthew 18:21-35 (CSB) Forgiveness is not the same as RESTORATION Amos 3:3 (CSB) The PRICE of forgiveness is FREE and the PRODUCT of forgiveness is FREEDOM “To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” -Tim Keller

Why Winners Never Feel They've Done Enough | Hard Work, Hard Life, Motivational Podcast | Goal Billionaire Podcast  This episode is your ultimate wake-up call. It's raw, it's real, and it's everything you need to hear when you're tempted to hit snooze on your goals. We dive into the relentless mindset of winners  — the people who don't wait for tomorrow, because they know greatness starts today. You'll hear hard-hitting truths about discipline, personal responsibility, mental toughness, and the price of success. Whether you're building a business, chasing fitness goals, or rewriting your life story — this one is for you. Stop giving yourself an exit. Start giving yourself a mission. No more pity parties. No more excuses. Just results.

In 2018, Austrian trumpeter Selina Ott made history by becoming the first woman to win first prize in the 70-year history of the prestigious ARD International Music Competition in Munich. That landmark achievement launched a remarkable career that has taken her to concert halls around the world, performing both as a soloist and with major orchestras. Her debut album, Trumpet Concertos, was honored with the Opus Klassik Award in 2021, and she has since released two more acclaimed solo recordings. Though still early in her musical journey, Selina has already established herself as one of the leading voices of her generation.In this conversation, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Selina about some of the defining moments in her life and career so far. In part one, we begin with her recent experience performing Wynton Marsalis's Trumpet Concerto with the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marin Alsop. She shares what it was like to collaborate with Marsalis himself and how that experience left a lasting impact. We then reflect on her preparation for, and participation in, the ARD Munich competition—what it took to succeed, and how her life changed overnight following her win. From there, we rewind even further to talk about her early beginnings on the trumpet as a young girl, and the important influence of legendary trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger.[Subscriber Content] In part two, we shift our focus to the balance between orchestral and solo playing, and what it really means to be a well-rounded soloist in today's musical world. We also touch on Selina's relationship with social media and why she chooses to keep a relatively low profile online. One of the more unique aspects of her life outside of music is her passion for horses—she owns several—and we explore how that love for animals complements her musical life. Selina also gives us insight into how she chooses her concert repertoire, both for solo recitals and orchestral performances. And finally, I ask her what advice she would give to a 10-year-old girl dreaming of becoming a musician one day.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

I used to live my life like I was on a hamster wheel. More hours, more hustle, more effort. I was constantly doing more, but the results never seemed to follow. Then one day, while watching ducks in the park with my daughter, I realized something. On the surface, the ducks appeared to glide effortlessly, but underneath, their little feet were actually paddling like crazy. Suddenly it dawned on me… That's me! To everyone around me, it probably seemed like I was easing through life. But in reality, I was exhausted and stuck. So I started thinking, what if we didn't have to paddle so hard? What if we could still move, but with grace, with ease, with energy that actually supports us instead of energy that drains us?That's what this episode is about. Working with energy instead of effort.

Podcast Show Notes: Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda Episode Title: Avoiding Surgery – Bianca's Scoliosis Success Story Episode Summary: When Bianca was diagnosed with scoliosis at a young age, she was initially told that surgery was her only option. With a 65-degree spinal curve, multiple doctors recommended spinal fusion. However, through intensive scoliosis care and dedicated home exercises, Bianca was able to reduce her curve to 45 degrees, avoiding invasive surgery altogether. In this inspiring episode of Scoliosis Treatment with Dr. Tony Nalda, Bianca shares her personal journey—how scoliosis affected her daily life, the difficult decision to reject surgery, and how conservative scoliosis treatment helped her take control of her health. Dr. Nalda also explains why scoliosis is not just an injury, but a developmental condition that requires specialized treatment beyond traditional chiropractic care. Key Topics Covered: ✅ Early Scoliosis Detection – How school screenings helped Bianca catch her scoliosis early. ✅ The Traditional Approach to Severe Scoliosis (Surgery Recommendation): Orthopedic surgeons recommend surgery for curves over 45 degrees, especially in growing children. Spinal fusion can lead to stiffness and chronic pain, affecting quality of life. ✅ Why Conservative Scoliosis Treatment Works: Intensive therapy can halt progression and reduce the curve naturally. Customized exercises, chiropractic care, and rehabilitation helped Bianca improve her spine alignment. ✅ Avoiding Surgery with Hard Work & Commitment: Bianca's curve reduced from 65 to 45 degrees through consistent treatment. Daily 30-minute home exercises helped maintain and further improve her progress. ✅ The Role of Lifestyle & Posture in Scoliosis Progression: Playing the banjo put asymmetrical weight on her spine, potentially influencing her curve. Understanding postural habits can help prevent worsening over time. ✅ Bianca's Passion for Music & Overcoming Challenges: Bianca and her sister have turned their struggles into music, releasing an album titled "Growing Wings". Their song "Limitless" is about pushing past obstacles and achieving goals—a message that resonates with anyone facing challenges like scoliosis. Key Takeaways: ➡️ Scoliosis is NOT just an injury—it's a progressive, developmental condition that requires specialized treatment. ➡️ Surgery is not the only option, even for severe cases—dedicated scoliosis care can significantly reduce curves. ➡️ Early intervention leads to better results, but even larger curves can be improved with the right approach. ➡️ Hard work now means better long-term health—Bianca chose a proactive approach over a quick fix and is healthier because of it.

Are you in a season where you feel forgotten, stuck, or wondering what God is doing? In this powerful message from Ruth chapter 2, Pastor Ryan Visconti brings an encouraging word about God's providence, favor, and grace—even in the hardest seasons.Through the story of Ruth and Boaz, you'll discover how God's hand is always at work behind the scenes, aligning divine appointments, redeeming brokenness, and preparing blessings greater than you imagined.

"I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.” - Margaret Thatcher This quote reminds us that hard work is what is needed to get what you want, and to get where you want to go!

In this episode of the Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel tackles one of the most important truths in college admissions—and life: Hard things are hard. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier university or defining your own path, real achievement demands effort, reflection, and a mindset shift. This episode breaks down why checking boxes won't cut it, why your story has to come from you, and how to reframe the pressure into something powerful.   Key Takeaways: Hard Work Is Non-Negotiable: No one can hand you a college admissions success story. Counselors can guide you, but reflection, risk-taking, and self-direction are essential to stand out. Admissions officers notice when you've done the real work. Mindset Shifts Everything: The grind—jobs, learning, even failure—builds character. Your growth and self-awareness are what make your application memorable. Lazy shortcuts don't win respect, but showing up every day does. The Ivy League Myth: Not everyone needs to aim for the Ivy League. But if it is your goal, you need to be ready for the rigor. Prestige can't replace effort. No amount of money or privilege can buy self-knowledge, drive, or a great essay. No One Can Do It For You: Parents, consultants, or paid programs can't manufacture authenticity. Your application is your story, and the best essays come from knowing yourself—and owning your path.   Everyone is struggling with something—even those who make it look easy. We're here to support you through the process, help you focus on what matters, and remind you: it's hard, but it's doable. What's been the hardest part of this process for you? How have you pushed through? Share your story with us @admittedlyco on Instagram and TikTok.

When Lust No Longer Rules Your Mind: Patrick's Freedom Story It's a quiet kind of bravery that often goes unseen. The kind that walks through the door not to applause, but to shame—and chooses humility instead of hiding.  That's the kind of courage Patrick brought into this conversation. And today, I want to honor that bravery and invite you into a story that too few are willing to tell, but so many need to hear. How Addiction and Lust Took Root in Patrick's Life This is not just a testimony—it's a mirror for so many men. Maybe even you. Patrick didn't set out to become enslaved. No one does. It started with what seemed like innocent attention, where his lack of parental love likely was at the root. A college-aged ego boost. A swipe here. A message there. A few flirty words on a dating app. But what he didn't know was that the enemy had planted seeds. And what felt like harmless validation from unmet needs, eventually spiraled into addiction, and eventually betrayal. But God— Yes, this is a story of rock-bottom moments. It's a story of a man whose addiction, lust, and even prostitution came to light in the most painful and humiliating way.  But it's also a story of a God who meets us in our darkest, filthiest, most shameful pits—and brings us into the light. And you'll hear how it happened for Patrick. The Heartbreaking Wake-Up Call: What His Daughter Found The real wake-up call came when his wife found the proof. Actually—his daughter did. Yes. Patrick's 6-year-old daughter accidentally discovered the messages. Gut-wrenching. Embarrassing. Devastating.  That moment of exposure was the very thing that broke him enough to seek healing. Now, he calls it a “blessing”. The devil thrives in secrecy. He whispers, "Keep this hidden.” “It'll only hurt people if you share.” and “You can fix it yourself."  But Jesus says, "Bring it into the light. Tell safe people. Confess. I will heal you." Patrick did. And his life changed. Why Hiding Hurts—and Confession Heals But let's rewind for a second. Because this story didn't begin with healing. It began with desperation. After that discovery, Patrick didn't know where to turn. He thought he might lose his wife. And to be honest, she had every reason to walk away. But then, a friend—someone who had been through the program himself—spoke life. This friend had also been in the trenches and knew what it was like.  And he offered Patrick a lifeline: “It's not over. There is hope. You should look into Delight Your Marriage.” Patrick took a Clarity Call. It wasn't a sales pitch. It wasn't about convincing him to join a program. It was a discerning process to see if we could even help. And praise God, we could. The Hard Work of True Freedom: Identity, Humility, and Accountability That's when the real work began. You'll hear in this episode the specifics: how Patrick confronted the dual life he was living, how he wrestled with white-knuckling through sobriety, and how he came to reject the identity of "I'm just always going to be an addict." Because that's not how God sees us. Patrick realized something deep and transformational: When we stay tied to the identity of our past sin, we remain bound by it. But when we accept the truth that we are a new creation in Christ, the chains begin to fall off. That doesn't mean the road is easy. Not at all. Patrick will tell you: it was hard. It took humility. It took accountability. It took honesty. And it took work to discover what were the roots of the addiction.  But today, Patrick is walking in freedom. Freedom from shame. Freedom from the fear of being found out. And his marriage? On it's healing journey. Better than ever.  Not because everything's perfect, but because there is now a foundation of truth, transparency, and most importantly—Jesus. He prays with his wife now. He prays for her. He opens the Bible daily. He's leading his family spiritually. He's serving his wife—not as a passive man trying to survive, but as a man who is reclaiming his God-given masculinity. That's the kind of freedom God offers. Hope for Families: When Betrayal Breaks Your Heart So if you're a husband who's been hiding, hoping no one finds out, let this be your wake-up call. You are not alone. And more importantly, you are not without hope. Or maybe you're a wife who discovered your husband's secret. Maybe your heart is shattered, and you don't know how to put the pieces back together. Let this testimony be your whisper of hope. God is in the business of redemption. Patrick's wife is living proof. And if you're a pastor—or married to one—or you're in leadership and wrestling with the same chains, please don't think you're exempt. You're not. And that's okay. This is for you, too.

Monte Deere and his brother Michael were born just 14 months apart—the kind of brothers who shared a bedroom—and a paper route—even when they didn't have to. So, when Michael took his own life while Monte and his wife were serving as mission leaders in the Spain Malaga Mission, Monte found himself grieving in a foreign country far away from his family. Since returning home, Monte has dealt with health challenges that have disrupted his own quality of life—even causing him to be released from a church calling he loved. On this week's episode, Monte shares how he has been a recipient of the balm that only the Savior can provide. “I think being all in for Him is creating a little space for Him, listening to Him say, ‘Come, let me pick you up. Let me brush you off. Let me apply a little salve, a little balm. And let me give you some bread and some spiritual water. Let me clean you from the inside out and then you can be back being all in on the things that you choose but give me room, give me space. Let me love you. Let me do for you what you can't do for yourself, what only I can do.'” 1:43- A Father's Example of Hard Work 5:01- Watching an Adult Sibling Struggle 12:29- A Family Called to Serve 17:54- Devastating News 21:51- Salve From the Spirit 24:48- Unexpected Health Challenges 35:34- A Wake Up Call 37:56- Lifting the Hands Which Hang Down 41:42- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ Links: Elder Renlund on suicide -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAYgY8SPtEWH5oAfQlfGFyKk77nf-S-tH President Ballard on suicide -https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/1987/10/suicide-some-things-we-know-and-some-we-do-not?lang=eng
