Podcasts about hardest thing

Brandy joins Mike on today's episode to share some shocking news. It's a conversation about endurance, resilience, chasing big goals, and discovering just how far you're willing to go when something truly matters.

Film music historian and journalist ⁠Tim Greiving⁠, author of John Williams: A Composer's Life, joins Michael Phillips to explore one of the foundational dilemmas of movie music, courtesy of legendary composer Max Steiner: "The hardest thing in scoring is to know when to start and when to stop." From King Kong and The Adventures of Robin Hood to Jaws and Star Wars, Michael and Tim trace the history of film scoring through competing philosophies: wall-to-wall music versus strategic restraint, foreground versus background, spectacle versus psychology. And yes, even The Odyssey enters the conversation They discuss Williams's lasting influence, memorable director-composer partnerships, and whether the best movie music tells us what we're seeing or reveals what the characters themselves cannot say.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (8.17) A longtime Burbank listener scored big with Chargers vs. 49ers tickets plus a $100 Graze Craze gift card, while the Timmy noted the wild coincidence that Mark Thompson’s wedding fell on the one-year anniversary of Foosh’s near-death car crash. Mark shared a pre-marriage story about bolting from a Virgin Islands hotspot his then-fiancée hated and, in the process, missing a chance to meet Simon Cowell — plus a strong warning to stay away from Orange County beaches right now, especially Seal Beach, which is overrun with invasive stingrays. Timmy played Bellio’s Emmy-worthy sales video that she spent the whole weekend making (thank you, AI!), even though the sales team wasn’t feeling it — you can still check it out on the ConwayShow Instagram. On the darker side, a car slammed full-speed into the back of a truck on the 5 in Sylmar in what looked like a possible suicide attempt, and a high-speed pursuit ended near the Cahuenga Pass with a DUI driver and a second person arrested. The hour wrapped with the growing travel trend of visiting places just because a movie was filmed there, including Meryl Streep weighing in on the hardest part of shooting in Milan.

In this episode, I'm sharing the one 30-minute rule that's completely changed how I start and end my day, and why I almost didn't do it because it meant fighting my own phone addiction. I also get into something I don't think I've talked about before: what happens when ideas hit you so fast you can't even keep up with writing them down, and why acting on all of them immediately might be the worst thing you can do. This is a more raw, conversational one where I'm processing in real time what it means to balance chaos and structure as a CEO. If you've ever felt pulled in a hundred directions and wondered why your best thinking never seems to happen on command, this one's for you.

Lauren Hough has worn many hats. She's been an Air Force airman, a bartender, a bouncer, a construction laborer, a driver, a barista and a cable guy. But through it all, she's written. In 2021, a collection of essays that together formed a memoir — “Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing” — shot up the New York Times bestseller list. Her new book, “Monster of a Land,” is a worthy follow-up. Reminiscent of John Steinbeck's “Travels with Charley,” Hough hits the road in a battered Dodge Ram to see America, her trusty dog Woody Guthrie riding shotgun. Want to add this book to your library?

GC13 and David discuss The Hardest Thing from Amphibia. Well, it’s official: the Core is awful. But then we all knew that, didn’t we? The Guardian isn’t all that great either, but we can’t forgive it for wanting a new job after tens of thousands of years (who hasn’t been there, really?). While we got a big anime fight as a treat for the eyes to start things off, the epilogue we ended on is the real heart of the episode. It looks like saying goodbye is actually the hardest thing.

Sometimes the hardest part of a relationship isn't getting together—it's knowing when it's time to let go.In this episode of Uncomfortable Convo's, we're discussing why so many people stay in relationships long after they know something isn't right.

What happens when you willingly sign up to do something that seems impossible? In this episode of the Champion Living Podcast, Doug Champion welcomes JR back to the show to relive their recent Spartan Race experience—a challenge that tested far more than physical fitness. From brutal carries and slippery climbs to deep mud bogs, barbed wire crawls, and a dramatic finish through the fire pit, this race became a powerful lesson in resilience, teamwork, mindset, and discovering what you're truly capable of when quitting isn't an option. For JR, the race represented something even bigger. After feeling like he'd hit a plateau, Spartan reignited the "one more rep" mentality that has fueled so much of his journey. Together, Doug and JR discuss how pushing beyond perceived limitations creates growth, why surrounding yourself with the right people matters, and how adversity often reveals strengths you didn't know you had. The conversation is packed with hilarious moments, hard-earned lessons, and practical insights for athletes, competitors, and anyone chasing growth in life. Along the way, they recount unforgettable race moments, including navigating treacherous obstacles, surviving the infamous mud bog, completing a grueling barbed-wire army crawl where JR lost his pants while his uncle threw dollar bills onto the course, and ultimately crossing the finish line after 2 hours and 22 minutes of relentless effort. The episode also highlights JR's mission through the Spur Your Way Out Foundation, which helps individuals overcome obstacles by providing access to life-changing equipment and opportunities. Donations help fund resources such as FES bikes, track chairs, and other adaptive equipment that empower people to continue pursuing an active and meaningful life.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Justin Ricklefs, founder of Guild Collective and author of Give a Damn: The Catalyst for Caring Companies. Justin spent eight years in the front office of the Kansas City Chiefs before walking away from corporate life to build something on his own terms. What followed was nine years of hard lessons, slow growth, and a lot of clarity about what actually matters in business and in life. Justin opens up about the leader who shaped him most. A man named Clyde who ran Learfield Sports and somehow knew the name of every employee's spouse and newborn kid, even the ones making $27,000 a year. That kind of care left a mark on Justin early, and he has been building toward that standard ever since. You will hear why Justin completely flipped on the idea of doing more. He used to chase every new service, every new opportunity, every next hill. Now he is ruthless about cutting, simplifying, and getting clear on who he actually serves. He talks about what Zig Ziglar called the "wandering generalist" versus the "meaningful specific" and why shrinking your focus is one of the hardest and most freeing things you can do in business. Justin also gets honest about what success really looks like. His three core values, presence, peace, and purpose, are not just words on a wall. They are the filter he runs every decision through. He talks about what it means to feel wealthy without a big bank account and why the scoreboard can lie to you if you are not careful about what you are actually chasing. And if you are building something from scratch, he gives you the first three things he would focus on. None of them are what most people reach for first. This one is worth your full attention.

My guest today is Krishna Rao, the CFO of Anthropic. The center of our conversation is how he navigates the decision around procuring and allocating compute, which he describes as the canvas on which everything else gets built. We talk about what he calls the cone of uncertainty, the three chip platforms Anthropic uses fungibly across Trainium, TPUs, and GPUs, and the daily meetings they run to allocate compute between model development, internal use, and serving customer demand. He explains why the returns to frontier intelligence keep getting higher, especially in enterprise, and how Anthropic thinks about the line between platform and application and why they choose to build their own products like Claude Code. Krishna has such a unique seat watching one of the fastest growing businesses in history, and he is generous in sharing what he has learned since joining the company two years ago.

What if confidence has been the wrong goal all along? What if the armour you have spent years building to survive the world is the very thing standing between you and the life you were meant to live? What if the most radical act available to you right now is simply giving yourself permission to be? In this deeply honest and wide-ranging conversation, award-winning journalist, author, and global speaker Mariana Atencio opens up about the inner work behind the public courage. Having spent fifteen years parachuting into some of the world's most high-stakes environments, covering earthquakes in Haiti, student protests in Hong Kong, and interviewing world leaders including Pope Francis and the King of Spain, Mariana built a career most people only dream of. And yet the thing she found hardest of all was learning to sit still. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt exhausted by the weight of proving themselves, worn different personas for different rooms, or quietly wondered why no amount of external achievement ever quite feels like enough. The Currency That Is Really Real When Catherine asks Mariana about the common advice that women simply need more confidence, her answer is immediate and disarming. Confidence, she says, is not the goal. In a world that is increasingly manufactured, fake, and unreal because of AI, social media algorithms, and the relentless pressure to compare, the only currency that remains genuinely real is self-trust. Not the performative kind. The quiet, instinctive kind that allows you to know who you are, why you do what you do, and when something simply does not feel right. Mariana believes that developing and deepening this trust will become one of the most critical skills any woman can build as we move further into the AI age. The 15-Year-Old Letter One of the most moving moments in this conversation centres on a letter. Written in Caracas at the age of fifteen as part of a time capsule exercise, the letter eventually found its way back to Mariana during the pandemic. Reading her own words after so many years stopped her in her tracks. The girl in that letter already knew what mattered. She wanted people to feel something from the work she did. Not the network, not the title, not the following. Just the feeling. In reconnecting with that fifteen-year-old, Mariana found not a regression but a homecoming. The journey, she believes, is always toward our authentic self and who we were born to be. It is simply a process of shedding the layers we accumulated along the way for survival, for validation, for protection. The Hardest Thing Isn't Chasing the Fire Here is the paradox at the heart of this episode. The woman who covered category five hurricanes, chased cartels across Mexico, and reported from war zones says the hardest thing she has ever faced is sitting still with herself. Harder than chasing the storms. Harder than jumping off planes. The real work, she says, is inner work. It is sitting with yourself, looking in the mirror, questioning the stories you tell yourself, and asking whether there is any possibility at all that those stories are not true. She offers a practical framework drawn from her TEDx talk: identify your non-negotiable pillars. For Mariana, they are passion, potential, connection, and freedom. Every new relationship, project, or opportunity must pass through that filter. When it does not, the answer is no. Not from arrogance, but from alignment. Key Takeaway The only person who can give you permission to be yourself is you. Not the conference emcee, not the approval of people who contribute nothing to your life, not the external validation of titles and platforms that could vanish tomorrow. As Mariana puts it, we are the ones holding ourselves back from our highest potential. The more we shed what was never truly ours to carry, the easier it becomes to do the extraordinary things we were actually meant to do. Watch the full conversation on YouTube.

A squirrel has invaded the pitch… not once, but twice. Dave and Fionnuala can't get over the scenes at Hull City vs Bristol City, where the ground staff were left trying (and failing) to catch it.From there, it turns into a surprisingly passionate debate: what are the hardest things to catch? A coin that's rolling away, a receipt in the wind, loose paper money, chickens, sheep… and, inevitably, children who've decided they're not going anywhere.

In this episode, Kyia unpacks what Jesus really meant when He said to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him. She reflects on how this call challenges modern culture, why self-denial isn't self-hatred, and how surrender leads to true freedom. This conversation invites listeners to rethink what it means to follow Jesus daily—with honesty, obedience, and trust.

In this episode of Growing Forward, Pastors Andy and Stephen explore why the act of forgiveness may be the hardest part of following Jesus, how it shapes our relationship with God and others, and a practical, biblical path for dealing with deep hurt and everyday offenses.

In this heartfelt Soul Elevation livestream, Kara Goodwin explores a powerful spiritual truth that can be easy to forget during challenging times: God is in everything, and God uses everything.

Kara also discusses how intention, prayer, and energy awareness can be used not only in the present moment, but across time, including healing the past and blessing memories that still carry emotional weight. You will learn: How to trust divine guidance when life feels out of your control Why God uses everything, even situations that feel frightening or imperfect How to bless difficult experiences through prayer and intention How energy, belief, and consciousness can influence healing across time A powerful practice for revisiting and healing past experiences using Ho'oponopono This conversation is especially supportive for parents, caregivers, and anyone questioning whether they made the "right" choice during a difficult chapter of life.

A quick note before we beginThis year, I'm doing something I've wanted to do for a long time.I want to start this year by sharing something a little different.After four years of Live Well Be Well, I'm introducing regular solo episodes. It's taken me a long time to get here. Not because I didn't have things to say, but because it's taken a lot of belief in myself to sit here and share my own thoughts, reflections, and opinions, alongside the voices of the people I speak to on the show.These episodes aren't about giving answers or telling you what to do. They're about making sense of the patterns that keep showing up — in science, in health, and in ourselves.And I feel incredibly privileged to say that. I speak to some of the most respected, iconic people in this field a few times a week, and over the years, I've accumulated such a breadth of knowledge through those conversations. That breadth really matters when it comes to health, because nothing exists in isolation.These solo episodes are a way for me to distill all of that. To share what's staying with me, what's shaping the way I think, and what's been on my mind each month.I also want this to feel like a conversation. Use the comments. Ask me questions. Tell me what you want to hear more about. These episodes, and this space, are where I want to respond.Love, Sarah Ann

In this special holiday week episode, Mike sits down with comedian Alex Edelman, fresh off a Tony Award for his show Just For Us and a spot on the Time 100 list. They discuss the "liquid dynamics" of a Comedy Cellar audience, the art of bombing while testing new material, and why jokes about the Israel-Gaza conflict are the hardest tightrope in comedy right now. Edelman explains why comedy thrives in doubt rather than certainty, how he uses "invisible pillars" to structure a narrative, and why he believes a joke should be "conversant with the moment, not beholden to it." Plus, Mike offers a critique of the mockumentary format glut in modern sitcoms.

In today's episode, I accidentally start a debate over a viral video of a girl with gravity-defying boobs (and even stronger spaghetti straps), talk about why people thought I was body shaming her, and unpack whether we're all just a tiny bit narcissistic. I also share what it was like doing the photo shoot for my third book cover (still can't believe it's real), how writing this book was the most challenging time of my life, and why I still sometimes feel like a complete imposter. We end with a gratitude meditation because obviously. Chaos → introspection → healing. Welcome back to Idiot.

Let's be honest — the call hits harder than you think it will. One moment, you're leading teams and driving outcomes. The next, your screen goes blank, and so does your sense of identity. But here's the truth no one tells you: the hardest part of a layoff isn't the job loss. It's the identity freefall that follows.   And if you don't pause long enough to process it, you'll start reacting — applying, rewriting résumés, chasing anything that feels like control — instead of rebuilding with purpose.   This solo episode is about what happens after the call. The silence. The confusion. And the quiet chance to begin again — on your own terms.   In this episode, you'll hear: Why “apply harder” keeps you stuck in survival mode. How to stop the spiral and regain your footing fast. The 10-minute reset that rebuilds calm and clarity. What the 30-Day Blast really is — and why it works. How a no-pitch, 30-minute clarity call can change everything.   The Mic Drop This isn't the end. It's a reset. And what you rebuild from here will be stronger — because it'll be built on purpose.   Timestamps (0:00) – Intro (0:58) – The silence and the identity freefall (2:15) – Rebuilding with intention, not reaction (3:55) – The clarity call that resets your footing (4:45) – The 30-Day Blast: clarity, confidence, results   Follow Loren & watch the show: LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/lorengreiff Instagram – @portfoliorocket YouTube – Portfolio Rocket Book your free 30-minute clarity call: https://www.portfoliorocket.com/contact

Sometimes we search everywhere for what's missing, the breakthrough, the peace, the purpose, only to realize it's been right in front of us the entire time.In this episode, Eddie shares a story about losing his keys and tearing apart the apartment to find them… until he finally noticed they were hanging exactly where they belonged. It's a simple moment, but a powerful reminder: the things we chase are often already within reach.True clarity doesn't always come from doing more or going further, it comes from pausing long enough to see what's been there all along.Because most of the time, the answers aren't lost.We just forget to look in the right place.Sometimes, that place… is within.More from Eddie Pinero:Monday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact

Let's flip the script. In this episode, my publisher (and friend) Sherry Ward takes the mic and interviews me about the behind-the-scenes process of writing Million Dollar Grit. We talk about why this book was the hardest thing I've ever done, what it took to merge memoir with business strategy, and why I refused to move on to another project until I closed this loop. You'll hear how my first (regretted) memoir shaped this one, what finally broke my writing resistance, and the healing that came through finishing it. We also talk about editors, AI, imposter fears, and what I really want readers to feel when they close the last page. If you've ever dreamed of writing a book—or wondered what it takes to turn your life into lessons that actually help people—this one's for you.
