Most people want confidence before they take a risk, but skill is built through testing your limits, getting feedback, correcting mistakes, and accepting that you may fall short in public.Drawing from their experiences in podcasting, speaking, fitness, and coaching, they examine deliberate practice, long-term consistency, and the difference between performing well once and building skills that hold up under pressure. Easy wins may protect your confidence, but they can also limit your growth. Define your standard, practice with intention, and earn your next level._______________________NLU is more than a podcast.

Send us Fan MailWhen people dream about opening a studio, they often think the hardest part will be finding clients, hiring the right team, or managing finances.But what if the hardest part is something much less obvious?Decision-making.In this solo episode of The Pilates Exchange, Hannah reflects on recent conversations with aspiring studio owners and shares what she's learned from years of running and growing a business. From choosing software and setting prices to considering major investments and navigating uncertainty, every decision comes with risk—and no one can tell you exactly how it will turn out.In this episode, we discuss:why certainty is a luxury entrepreneurs rarely havethe difference between trusting your intuition and relying on your emotionshow knowing your numbers gives you confidence, not guaranteeswhy good decisions don't always lead to good outcomesand how every decision becomes an opportunity to learn and improveWhether you own a business, dream of starting one, or simply find yourself facing difficult decisions, this conversation is a reminder that success isn't about predicting the future. It's about making thoughtful choices, learning from the results, and having the courage to keep moving forward.

Have you ever held onto a lyric, melody, or song idea simply because you've lived with it for so long? In this episode, we're exploring a different stage of the songwriting process — not gathering inspiration, but choosing what belongs. I share the story of revisiting an old song and making one unexpected change that revealed a deeper, more honest version of the story it had been trying to tell all along. We'll talk about why artistic growth isn't just about creating more — it's about developing the discernment to recognize what truly serves the song. Sometimes the hardest part of songwriting isn't writing the next line. It's having the courage to let go of something good so something truer can emerge. Whether you're writing songs, making music, or simply learning to trust your creative instincts, this episode is an invitation to embrace the deeper work of choosing, revising, and telling the truth in your art. In this episode, we'll explore: the songwriting process beyond first drafts editing and revising song lyrics how to know what belongs in a song creative discernment and artistic choices telling the truth through songwriting letting go of lyrics that no longer serve the song trusting your creative instincts why honesty leads to stronger songs embracing revision as part of the creative process Next Steps: Join the Newsletter: reawakenyourvoice.com/insider Book a Coaching Session: reawakenyourvoice.com/coaching Visit the Website: reawakenyourvoice.com Email Me: hello@reawakenyourvoice.com

Ever wonder why people with OCD can seem incredibly strong... yet still feel completely alone?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, Kristina Orlova speaks with Tom Smalley, MS, CMPC—mental performance consultant, OCD advocate, and speaker. Together, they explore the hidden impact of OCD stigma, why uncertainty is at the heart of OCD recovery, and how community, education, and self-compassion can change lives.   Tom opens up about: • His OCD diagnosis at age 16 and living with up to 15 hours of compulsions a day • How ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) helped him reclaim his life • Why embracing uncertainty—not eliminating it—is the key to recovery • His powerful story of experiencing discrimination because of OCD and transforming pain into purpose   This conversation also dives into: • Why reassurance can accidentally keep OCD alive • How everyday phrases like "I'm so OCD" contribute to stigma • Why community and advocacy play such an important role in healing • The connection between sports, mental health, perfectionism, and OCD • How choosing education over anger helps reduce stigma and create lasting change   If you've ever felt misunderstood because of your OCD—or wondered how to support someone who struggles with it—this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood, and hopeful. Whether you're navigating OCD yourself or supporting someone you love, this episode offers practical insights, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that you are never alone in your recovery.

Dan Rochon is the creator of the Teach to Sell methodology and host of the No Broke Months podcast, where he teaches professionals how to build trust and influence without pressure. Buying isn't usually the hard part. Committing is. In this conversation, Dan explains why buyers often hesitate at the final moment, even after they've decided what they want. Mark challenges Dan's ideas on buyer psychology, emotion, and trust, leading to a fascinating discussion about what really happens between deciding and saying yes.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Discover why commitment is the hardest part of every buying decision. Learn how trust helps buyers overcome fear and hesitation. Understand why buyers don't just compare prices—they compare risks.   "Logic makes you think. Emotion makes you act."   –  Dan Rochon   Topics Covered: 02:10 – Why Buyers Don't Decide With Logic Alone. Dan explains why emotion drives buying decisions long before logic justifies them. 04:04 – The Emotional Side of Every Buying Decision. Why even B2B buyers are motivated by trust, confidence, and how they'll be perceived. 08:13 – Every Purchase Is a Prediction. Mark shares his buying framework and Dan explains why people move away from pain faster than they chase desire. 12:14 – Are You Selling an Aspirin or a Vitamin?

Why serving the buyer's goals—not your own—is the foundation of ethical influence.   Key Takeaways: "It's about identifying what their pain is and what their desire is, then demonstrating that you are the bridge." –  Dan Rochon "The difference between manipulation and ethical influence is whose goals you're serving." –  Dan Rochon "Leadership is to teach somebody else how to think so they can get what they want." –  Dan Rochon   Connect with Dan Rochon: Website: https://teachtosellbook.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danrochon/    Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

Marc Hopkins, author of Hard Things, set out to write a book about running the Bigfoot 200, but what emerged was something much deeper. In this conversation, he shares how endurance running became the lens through which he uncovered old stories about self-worth, fear, identity, and the belief that one more finish line would finally make him enough. Together, we explore why runners chase hard things, the difference between simply enduring life and living with purpose, and how the trail can expose what's really driving us. Marc also opens up about surviving a 99% heart blockage, learning when grit is a strength and when it's time to stop, and why vulnerability may be the toughest skill endurance athletes ever develop. If you've ever wondered why you run, or found yourself learning more about your life than your splits during a long run, this conversation will stay with you long after the episode ends.

Timestamps 00:00 | Why We Chase Hard Things Marc explains how a book about the Bigfoot 200 became an honest look at identity, purpose, and the reasons we pursue difficult goals. 08:00 | Enduring vs. Endurance The conversation explores the difference between simply surviving life and intentionally moving toward something meaningful. 18:30 | The Finish Line Won't Make You Whole Marc shares how he believed one more race would finally prove his worth, and why that mindset eventually fell apart. 30:30 | Lessons From a 99% Heart Blockage A life-threatening diagnosis forced Marc to rethink strength, vulnerability, and what it really means to listen to your body. 43:30 | The Pebble in Your Shoe A simple refrigerator magnet from Marc's childhood became one of the biggest life lessons in the entire book. 49:00 | Why the Next Finish Line Isn't the Answer The hosts discuss identity, self-worth, and why chasing bigger races can never solve what's happening inside. 53:30 | When Can You Finally Call Yourself a Runner? Marc explains why comparison steals joy and why every runner, regardless of pace or body type, belongs on the trail.

Grief is part of your story. But not the whole story.One of the most disorienting parts of grief is realizing that the world keeps moving… even when your own world has completely changed.People go back to work.Conversations continue.Events happen.Ordinary life carries on.And meanwhile, you may still be trying to understand how someone so important can suddenly be gone.In this conversation, we explore the loneliness, shock, and emotional disconnect that can arise when life keeps moving after loss — and why this experience is such a deeply human part of grief.Because sometimes the pain isn't only the loss itself…it's the feeling that the world no longer reflects the magnitude of what happened to you.

JP Nerbun, Betsy Butterick, and Nate Sanderson are not so sure, and the answer says a lot about how you build culture this season.This episode continues an ongoing conversation around JP's new book, The Culture Captain, with the group digging into Level Two: leading yourself before you ever try to lead anyone else. They unpack why the chapter on effort was the hardest one JP wrote, what separates a Steph Curry from a Caitlin Clark on the leader versus teammate question, and why so many athletes hold back effort out of fear of being labeled a tryhard.Whether you are coaching the most obsessed competitor on your roster or the kid who just wants to enjoy the sport, this conversation will change how you think about effort, identity, and what it actually takes to lead yourself first.Chapters(00:00) Intro(01:02) Why Level Two Was Hardest to Write(03:26) Tom Brady & Raising Others 5-10%(09:13) Standards, Buy-In & Judgment(13:28) Caitlin Clark & Being Yourself(17:55) Great Leader vs. Great Teammate(24:37) One Behavior Every Leader Needs(28:30) Why Athletes Avoid Competing Hard(32:44) From Victim to Creator(40:55) The Hardest Part of Leading YourselfTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."Two things can be true.

Send us Fan MailReframe the Picture Series - Pt 11Have you ever noticed you're changing, but you can't fully explain how or felt felt like you've outgrown something, but couldn't explain why?Have you ever looked around and thought, "Why does this feel different now?”The people haven't changed. The situations haven't changed. But you changed.In this episode, we're talking about one of the most unexpected parts of growth: what happens when you can no longer connect to things the way you used to. We'll explore why some relationships feel different, why certain conversations drain you now, and why outgrowing old patterns can feel uncomfortable ven when it's exactly what you're supposed to do.Because sometimes growth isn't about becoming someone new. It's about finally recognizing that you're not the same person anymore and learning to trust that - that is a good thing.

Most people have spent decades overriding their body's fullness signals without realizing it. Gina Livy breaks down the hormones behind why it takes 20 minutes to feel satisfied, and why that gap between eating and fullness is where the real rewiring happens.This is about why your brain will always prepare you for the worst-case scenario, what self-sabotage actually looks like after a really good day, and the real reason the wellness industry doesn't want to have this conversation.This episode aligns with day 52 of our Spring 2026 maintenance program.

Most people think buying an existing business is the safer path.   After all, why start from zero when you can buy something that already has revenue, employees, customers, and cash flow?   But here's the part many people miss: when you buy a profitable business, you're often buying high. You're paying a premium for something someone else already built. And if your goal is to eventually sell, you have to ask a much bigger question:   Where does the upside come from?   In this episode of Franchise Unfiltered, Wes Barefoot breaks down the difference between buying an existing business, starting from scratch, and investing in a franchise. He explains why cash flow on day one can be appealing, but also why it can come with hidden risks like debt service, employee turnover, customer relationships, steep learning curves, and sellers trying to exit at the top.   If you're considering business ownership, buying a business, or exploring franchising, this episode will help you think through the decision with a clearer framework.   Timestamps: 0:00 — Why Buying a Business Sounds So Appealing 0:29 — The Question Most Buyers Don't Ask 3:32 — The Buy Low, Sell High Reframe 4:36 — Buying a Profitable Business Means Paying a Premium 7:33 — The Levers You Need Before You Buy 18:47 — Buying a Business Doesn't Mean Skipping the Grind 22:15 — The Hardest Part of Business Ownership 27:32 — Customer Relationships May Not Transfer 34:05 — Why Is the Business Really for Sale? 50:43 — The Three Paths to Business Ownership   7 Steps to Owning a Franchise: https://path2frdm-1.hubspotpagebuilder.com/path-to-freedom-about-franchising

No more corporate chaos. No more constant juggling. More peace, more balance, more time. But my first year of retirement didn't unfold the way I imagined. My role at home shifted. My identity felt different. More time together exposed unexpected friction. And I had to learn how to protect my energy and redefine what actually brings me joy.

Because it required me to sit across from one of my closest friends and one of the most gifted men I know when it comes to the presence of God, and admit that I've been struggling. Struggling to feel connected. Struggling to cultivate that place with the Holy Spirit that I know I'm supposed to have — especially after walking through five weeks of watching my mother-in-law die of cancer. That's not an easy thing to say as a pastor. But I said it anyway. And what Michael gave me back was one of the most practically powerful and spiritually deep conversations I've ever had on this podcast.Michael Koulianos leads Jesus Image, a church and global movement, and there is genuinely no one I know who flows in the presence of God the way he does. In this episode, he walks us through his personal morning prayer routine — two hours, early, consistent for 20 years — and breaks down exactly what it looks like: silence, Bible reading from Genesis to Revelation looking for Jesus the whole way, worship, and a prayer list he's been building for years with names being crossed off one by one. But more than the mechanics, he talks about what it means to feel God's presence not as an emotional high but as a continual awareness. And he talks about mourning — why giving yourself permission to grieve is actually the door that opens to the Holy Spirit's comfort.We also get into the real cost of leading a movement, the false sense of responsibility that burns leaders out, what God is actually doing on the earth right now, and why the cross isn't just the starting point of the Christian life — it's the whole shape of it. If you're a man who's been running on empty spiritually, or you've been grinding so hard you've lost the thread of why you started, this episode will recalibrate you. Carve out the time to watch the whole thing. It's worth every minute.Chapters:00:00 – Welcome: Jason Gets Honest07:15 – Little Ezra, Grief, and Why Mourning Opens the Door14:31 – Sensing vs. Feeling21:46 – Inside Michael's Morning Routine29:01 – Prayer Lists, John Eldridge, and Hearing God's Promises36:16 – How to Find Jesus in Every Page of Scripture 43:32 – The Hardest Part of Leading a Movement50:47 – Burnout, Boundaries, His Church Doubling While Michael Couldn't Speak58:02 – What God Is Doing on Earth Right Now1:05:17 – Living on His Mission, the Cross-Shaped Life & Closing PrayerCONNECT WITH BRAVECOJoin Our Free Community for Men (ladies, sign up your man): https://www.braveco.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

A lot of gay men take pride in being independent, self-sufficient and in control. But is there a shadow side? When the time comes to let someone in, ask for support, or even rely on others—it feels uncomfortable, exposing, even threatening. In this episode, we explore the spectrum between dependence, co-dependence, independence, hyper-independence, and interdependence—and why so many gay men get stuck at the far end of doing life alone. We talk about:  What hyper-independence actually is (and why it's so common) The fear of losing yourself, your freedom, or your identity Why intimacy feels harder than being alone How this shows up in dating, relationships, and asking for support What it looks like to move toward interdependence (secure attachment)  This isn't about becoming dependent. It's about learning how to find a happy middle ground where you can let someone in without losing yourself or pulling further away.  Today's Hosts: Matt Landsiedel Michael DiIorio - Take the 360° Self-Review for Gay Men Support the Show - viewer and listener support helps us to continue making episodes - CONNECT WITH US - Watch podcast episodes on YouTube Join the Gay Men's Brotherhood Facebook community Get on our email list to get access to our monthly Zoom calls Follow us on Instagram | TikTok Learn more about our community at GayMenGoingDeeper.com - LEARN WITH US - Building Better Relationships online course: Learn how to nurture more meaningful and authentic connections with yourself and others.

Dr. Paul Gibson | Acts 1:1-11Jesus told the disciples in Acts 1:4, "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised...the Holy Spirit." The disciples had this promise, but still had to wait until the day of Pentecost to be filled with the Holy Spirit. How did the disciples handle this period of waiting? How do we handle the in-between of living in God's promises that are not yet fulfilled? The truth is that "The Waiting is the Hardest Part."

Send us Fan Mail Nobody warns you about this part of parenting. The kids are older, more independent, and they don't need you the same way they used to — and somehow that is one of the hardest transitions of all. In this episode, I'm sharing Leah Davidson's Building Resilience podcast as part of my Mental Health Awareness Month collaboration with parent coaches. Leah is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Nervous System Resilience Coach, and in this episode, she breaks down why your calm matters more than your advice, how overfunctioning actually creates distance instead of closeness, and what it looks like to parent from regulation instead of reflex. If you have teens or adult children and you've ever felt the pull to fix, rescue, or hold it all together — this one is for you. Leah Davidson is a Speech-Language Pathologist and Nervous System Resilience Coach with over 26 years of experience in brain and nervous system health. She works primarily with women in midlife, helping them understand their changing nervous systems and build resilience from the inside out. She offers small group programs, an online community, international retreats, and an Advanced Training in Nervous System Resilience for coaches and helping professionals who want to go deeper in this work. You can find her here: 

The greatest battles you face in life are rarely with demons, critics, culture, or your circumstances. Most of the time, the greatest battle is much closer to home. The ultimate question we must all answer is: What do I do with me?We live in a culture that celebrates self-expression, but God's Kingdom teaches self-control. It is entirely possible to be highly gifted yet completely undisciplined. If you are tired of carrying the same chaos into every new city, relationship, or job, this episode is your invitation to stop managing everyone else and start confronting yourself.

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if the next step after cancer surgery wasn't more treatment, but something different entirely?Dr. Katie Deming welcomes Merlin Hagan. After his prostate was removed, Merlin's doctors checked his PSA, a blood marker used to monitor prostate cancer activity. It should have dropped to undetectable levels.But it didn't. His PSA kept climbing, and doctors recommended radiation and hormone therapy next. Merlin wasn't ready for that, so he went looking for another option.PSA Prostate-Specific Antigen, a protein made by the prostate. Rising PSA levels may signal changes in the prostate, including inflammation, enlargement, or possible prostate cancer activity.He had never fasted before in his life, yet he committed to a 21-day water fast under medical supervision. What happened next surprised not just him, but his doctors too.Chapters:00:06:02 - PSA Still Rising00:06:47 - Finding the Fast00:08:01 - The Hardest Part of Fasting00:09:05 - Dealing with Food Cravings  00:11:00 - The Diet Shift Before Fasting00:13:26 - Relearning How to Eat00:16:41 - Eight Weeks After the Fast00:17:33 - The Unexpected Weight Loss00:18:26 - Blood Pressure Changes00:19:41 - Prostate Surgery Complication00:20:38 - The First Sign of Healing00:22:21 - The PSA Results00:24:54 - Hormone Therapy DecisionMerlin walks through the entire experience: the prep week, the difficult first few days, and the mental shift that carried him through the fast.

Send us Fan MailThe scariest autism parenting moments often start quietly: sleep disappears, words fade, new behaviors show up, and you keep telling yourself it must be a phase. We talk with Paul Voss, a father of eight, about what it felt like to watch those changes unfold in his youngest daughter and then face a profound autism diagnosis that “turned our life upside down.” What follows is a candid, grounded conversation about nonverbal autism, high support needs, and the family-wide impact that nobody can fully prepare you for.We get into the brutal reality of exhaustion and the long wait for evaluations, plus the pressure parents feel to find something that helps right now. Paul shares how his family approached decisions around therapies, health changes, and daily routines without pretending there's a single solution for autism spectrum disorder. Along the way, we talk about why a diagnosis can still be a gift: it gives direction, it opens doors to support, and it helps you name what your child needs.We also slow down for the emotional side that families rarely say out loud. We unpack how “grief” language can land on autistic kids, why dignity matters more than milestones, and how celebrating small wins can keep you steady when the big goals feel far away. Paul also reflects on siblings, community inclusion, and why his book, Autism Sucks, Finding Hope in the Chaos, is meant to help newly diagnosed parents get through the hardest season with more clarity and hope.If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with a parent who needs support, and leave a review so more families can find it.

Landing on the boat becomes a defining challenge, exposing the difference between being a good pilot and being an operational one.The episode also explores the limitations of the Super Étendard—an aging, analog jet forced into modern combat—and how that shapes tactics, workload, and risk. Benji highlights the realities of coalition warfare, early Afghanistan deployments, and the steep learning curve of operating in a far more complex and demanding environment.This is where the story shifts from “becoming a pilot” to learning how to survive and operate effectively in combat.0:00 Teaser – Pyjamas, Wine, Corkscrews and Cigarettes 1:45 Welcome Back Benji (Steve's Lost It!) + Episode Outline 3:20 First Operational Squadron – Tough Start to Mixed Force Ops 9:20 Post-9/11 Politics and Operational Reality 12:38 Red Flag – Flying with Mirage 2000D 15:36 Did Red Flag Validate the EW Suite? 18:41 How Red Flag Prepared Him for Combat 22:26 Inferiority Complex in Coalition Ops? 28:02 Social Life on Squadron 31:24 Old School vs New School – What Works? 35:38 Deployments to Chad 40:42 Threat Environment and Risk 44:48 Ferry Flight to Red Flag – Single-Engine Stress 47:43 Bird Strikes and Wildlife Hazards 52:09 Survival Kit – What's On Board? 55:10 CSAR – Expectations vs Reality 57:46 What Is a Pilot Worth? 59:05 Combat Psychology 1:04:18 Managing Pilots Doing “Cool Stuff” (Photos/Video) 1:09:54 Romania Deployment – Encounters with MiGs 1:18:09 QRA – Intercepts and Real-World Stories 1:24:45 French Air Force “Urban Legends” 1:27:27 Encounters with USAF Incursions? 1:30:08 End of First Tour – Seeking Exchange Opportunities 1:32:50 Carrier Tour Expectations – Charles de Gaulle 1:35:15 No Night Landings? 1:36:30 Targeting Pod (PDLCT) 1:37:52 FCLP – Carrier Landing Practice 1:42:12 The Hardest Part of Carrier Ops 1:45:15 Nuclear Strike Mission Explained 1:51:53 Super Étendard Capabilities (Including Exocet) 2:01:17 From Detection to Attack 2:05:00 Situation Display, Autopilot, Datalink 2:07:55 Tuning Exocet Targeting and Performance 2:09:12 How Do You Attack a Carrier Group? 2:13:00 Part 3 Preview – Combat and Command

The most powerful business tool in the world isn't capital, technology, or talent, it's a relationship. David Grutman built one of the most dominant hospitality empires in America not by outspending competitors, but by outrelating them. In this episode, he breaks down the relationship-first philosophy that took him from the back of the house at Tantra on South Beach to partnering with Live Nation's Michael Rapino and building some of the highest-grossing restaurants per square foot in the country.

Surrogacy is often talked about in headlines or celebrity news, but rarely explained in a way that helps people truly understand the experience behind it. In this episode, I'm joined by surrogacy consultant Jessie Jaskulsky, founder of Surrogacy Simplified, to talk openly about what the surrogacy process actually looks like, the misconceptions that surround it, and the emotional reality many families face while trying to grow their family. Jessie shares her personal path through pregnancy loss, infertility, and ultimately two surrogacy journeys that helped her welcome her daughters. From navigating the logistics and cost to managing grief, uncertainty, and public judgment, this conversation brings compassion and clarity to a topic that is often misunderstood. In this episode, we discuss: What surrogacy actually means and the difference between gestational and traditional surrogacy Common misconceptions about why families pursue surrogacy Why public conversations about surrogacy can be filled with judgment and misinformation The emotional toll of infertility, pregnancy loss, and long fertility journeys How intended parents cope with uncertainty and lack of control during a surrogacy pregnancy What the financial reality of surrogacy can look like and ways families plan for it How to begin exploring surrogacy if it's something you're considering The bond between parents and babies born through surrogacy How friends and family can better support someone going through this process To connect with Jessie Jaskulksy follow her on Instagram @surrogacysimplified, check out all her resources at linktr.ee/surrogacysimplified  You can also join her free Intended Parent Community: https://tally.so/r/mORv9A 00:00 Surrogacy, Stigma, and the Comments Families Shouldn't Face 02:00 What Most People Get Wrong About Surrogacy 05:49 Gestational Carrier vs Surrogate Explained Simply 08:07 The Real Reasons Families Turn to Surrogacy 10:16 Why Celebrity Surrogacy Stories Spark So Much Judgment 13:07 Infertility, Anxiety, and the Emotional Side of This Process 15:34 What Surrogacy Really Costs, and Why 22:11 The First Steps for Families Considering Surrogacy 25:22 The Hardest Part, Letting Go of Control 30:06 Bonding, Love, and the Truth About Surrogacy Babies Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.
