Veterans Sazha Ramos and Ignacio Montoya both experienced traumatic injuries that had a significant impact on their lives. For Ramos, it led her to an addiction to pain medications. For Montoya, a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down. But after facing their challenges, both are using their journeys to assist other veterans. For a special edition of “Closer Look” on Veterans Day, “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott spoke with them about their experiences, Ramos’ work assisting veterans struggling with addiction, and Montoya about how he’s advancing research into improving mobility for those who have been paralyzed. *American Addiction Center’s 24/7 hotline is 866-868-3449. Plus, the Veterans Empowerment Organization (VEO) and The Home Depot Foundation are partnering together to end veteran homelessness. Recently, the “Closer Look” team stopped by VEO’s campus on Atlanta’s Westside for a tour. Program host Rose Scott talks with Stewart Williams, a Marine Corps veteran and the CEO of VEO, Army veteran Larry Benitez, Marine veteran Michael Joseph and Erin Izen, the executive director of The Home Depot Foundation. They discuss the unique challenges many veterans face, VEO’s mission, and the support services and resources VEO provides beyond housing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God didn't just tell you what he wants you to do—he showed you how to do it. When it comes to ministry, Jesus gave us the perfect model and then promised a personal coach: the Holy Spirit, living inside you. In this series, Pastor Rick shows how Jesus not only explains the assignment—he works through you to accomplish it.When Jesus began his public ministry, he made it clear who he came to help—the poor, the brokenhearted, the imprisoned, the blind, and the oppressed. In this series, Pastor Rick challenges us to help these same people, following the example Jesus set.The poor come in many forms. Some lack the money to meet basic needs, others lack a moral compass, and still others are spiritually poor—unaware of the hope and salvation Jesus offers. In this message, Pastor Rick calls us to meet each type of need with compassion and truth. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1103/29

Tim Packer  - Tim Packer Art Academy On the Truth: "I mean the universities and colleges are failing them just miserably." We all remember being kids and making art of some kind.  Water colors, macaroni pictures, maybe even some Play-Doh creatures.  But did you ever think you could make a living from it?  Tim Packer realized he could. In this candid conversation, Tim Packer pulls back the curtain on the realities of the art world, busting myths about the "starving artist" and explaining why most universities and mainstream art advice miss the mark for artists hoping to make a living from their passion. He details how he leveraged both his artistic talent and business savvy to grow his own career, how he turned his mentorship of a young artist into a global success story, and how his experiences inspired him to launch his online academy to help others achieve the same.

Because I quit my job and walked away from my pension as a police officer when I was 40 to give this another try. My goal was if I could ever just make as much as what I would have made had I stayed and gone on pension, then it'll be a wash, right? Well, I far surpass that. But while I was in there, you know, just kind of and watching the sales go up and I was mentally crunching the numbers because this was November, and I thought, holy. Know what? I'm going to make over a quarter million dollars this year. As an artist.

Maggy was the family genealogist who dedicated her heart and time to developing the family tree branches far and wide. A month after distributing a book of their genealogy to her excited family, she discovered the book no longer included her. Over the past 12-and-a-half years since her surprise DNA discovery, Maggy has been on a long and winding journey grappling with her identity and navigating changes in her relationships.Maggy shares encouragement with other NPEs and advice for finding the community that fits your needs. She shares her experience of using a painful discovery to help others (and help yourself in the process). Read the two guest posts Maggy wrote about her experiences:Self Identity Reflections from Maggy Eight Years of Life as an NPEThis episode covers:The NPE (not parent expected) experienceWriting as a means of healingIdentity shifts over timeNature and nurtureBecoming a DNA search helper for othersFinding communityTurning a painful experience into support for othersHang around to the end of this conversation because Maggy and I also delve into the related but distinct DNA topic of forensic genetic genealogy!

She escaped the walls of control; now she's shedding light on the abuse that keeps others trapped. In this powerful continuation of our two-part conversation, Justin Yentes sits down once again with Rachel Jeffs, survivor, author, and daughter of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs, and Tawni Browning, an advocate for survivors. Together, they go deeper into what comes after escape, the struggle to learn how to exist in a world you don't understand while finding the basics needed to survive... and all of that has to be done while healing from abuse, parenting, and building a sustainable life. Rachel's story doesn't end with freedom; it begins there. In Part 2, she and Tawni open up about the backlash survivors face, the systems that fail them, and the community it takes to help people truly start over. This episode is a lesson in resilience, advocacy, and the enduring power of truth. How Rachel continues to receive hate from within the FLDS community. What it takes to help survivors rebuild: housing, mental health support, etc. The impact of the series “Escaping Polygamy” on those still inside the FLDS. The fear, relearning, and healing needed to step into a world you were taught to fear. What you can do to support survivors by advocating for protections and accountability. This episode is for anyone who believes that awareness isn't enough, that survival stories must lead to systemic change. Whether you're a survivor, an advocate, or someone trying to understand the realities of cult control and coercive systems, this conversation will deepen your understanding and strengthen your resolve. Be sure to listen to Part 1 first to hear Rachel's full story of survival and escape, then join us for this powerful continuation.

What if service didn't have to mean sacrifice?In this episode, I'm challenging the outdated belief that to serve others, we have to give until it hurts. Real service doesn't drain you—it aligns you. When you give from your natural gifts, passions, and joy, you serve in a way that fills *both* you and those you help.We'll explore how to recognize when you're serving from obligation versus overflow, and how to redefine “giving” in a way that feels peaceful, purposeful, and sustainable.

With forty-seven years of entrepreneurial experience and as the founder of Iron Sharpens Iron Brotherhood (ISI), Aaron shares his remarkable journey from financial success to finding true significance.Aaron recounts a pivotal moment in his life: an accident that forced him to question the legacy he'd leave behind.

He encourages all business leaders, especially small business owners, to pause and write out their true core values, ensuring alignment with business growth and personal fulfillment.

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm talking about “Compassion in Recovery: Helping Others Without Hurting Yourself.” One of the greatest gifts of sobriety is the ability to help others. But if we're not careful, we can give so much that we burn out, enable, or lose focus on our own program. In this episode, I share how to practice healthy compassion — offering support while still protecting your boundaries and your sobriety. Whether you're brand new to recovery or have been trudging for years, this talk will give you tools to serve others from a place of strength instead of depletion.

Episode #1039 A lot of guys think they can only grow by surrounding themselves with men on their same level or above them. The truth is real growth happens when you reach back and help another man who is a few steps behind. In this episode, Doug and Coach Mike talk about what it really means to lead, why lifting other men up deepens your own mastery, and how staying humble keeps you moving forward. They share stories about fatherhood, coaching, and the lessons that come when you stop trying to prove yourself and start serving. If you are waiting to feel ready before you step up for others, you are missing the point. The moment you help another man figure something out, the lesson sinks deeper for you too. If your marriage feels stuck and you want a clear way forward, get the free training at https://fixmarriage.thepowerfulman.com/scales. It will give you the tools to start making changes today and your wife will feel the difference.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Jess Baker, business psychologist and author of The Super-Helper Syndrome: A Survival Guide for Compassionate People. Jess helps leaders, project managers, and anyone who tends to take on too much work avoid burnout, preserve self-worth, and build healthier ways of helping. The conversation digs into what “Super-Helper Syndrome” means, how over-helping can lead to exhaustion, resentment, exploitation, or harsh self-criticism, and what beliefs often drive us into that pattern. Jess shares actionable tools for setting boundaries, recognizing irrational helper beliefs, and changing our mindset, including asking “What kind of help is needed here?” to building systems that support sustainable helping. If you're leading projects, teams, or supporting others, these insights will help you avoid overcommitment while still being compassionate.  Sound Bites “Helping others to the detriment of your own wellbeing is something many of us do without noticing.” “When you struggle to say no to requests for help, your relationships are lopsided. You deny your own needs.” “Exhaustion, resentment, exploitation and self-criticism are the four adverse impacts of super-helper syndrome.” “Compassion is when you decide you have to do something to alleviate someone's suffering.” “'What kind of help is needed here?' rather than just 'How can I help?'” “Your self-worth does not depend upon helping people.” “Healthy helping is about recognizing who, how and when you help, and having boundaries that are not porous.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:01 Start of Interview 02:23 What Got You Started Exploring Empathy and Compassion? 05:15 Cognitive Empathy vs Emotional Empathy 08:02 How Do You, As a Clinician, Use Empathy Without Being Overwhelmed? 10:07 The Four Forms of Help 18:52 Stakeholder Scenario: Balancing Autonomy and Dependency in Helping 25:01 When Did Jess Help?

Davon Eldemire grew up in the hood in Bridgeport, Connecticut with no father in the picture, raised by his mom and sisters as the only boy in the house. He had a passion for basketball but eventually got consumed by the street life, giving up his dream. That path led to a robbery where he shot someone and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In this interview, Davon opens up about what it was like growing up without a father, how the streets pulled him in, and the moment that changed everything and landed him in prison. He shares what the years behind bars taught him about life, the mindset shift that turned his sentence into an opportunity, and how he is now using his experience to mentor the youth and keep them from going down the same path. #RaisedInTheHood #PrisonStories #LockedInPodcast #StreetLife #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #RedemptionStory #lifeafterprison Thank you to BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.

What makes some people capable of extraordinary consistency while others struggle to maintain even basic positive habits?  The answer lies in 3 foundational pillars that shape all human behavior. A framework so powerful it can transform not just individual actions, but entire organizational cultures.  The first pillar, stories, operates as the foundation of all behavior change. As your host Angela Shurina reveals through compelling personal examples, the narratives we construct about our circumstances directly impact our capacity for action.   The second pillar, incentives, addresses the fundamental truth that humans consistently pursue what feels rewarding. Drawing on insights from behavioral science and thought leaders like Mark Manson, Angela reveals that sustainable habits require emotional or social rewards that make difficult behaviors meaningful. The third pillar, triggers, explains why good intentions often fail to translate into consistent action. Through practical examples of environmental design, Angela demonstrates how strategic placement of visual reminders dramatically increases the likelihood of performing intended behaviors. This same principle works in reverse for breaking unwanted habits.  When combined, these 3 pillars create a comprehensive system for behavior change that far surpasses traditional approaches based solely on willpower or motivation.  Whether you're struggling with personal habits, leading organizational transformation, or coaching others through change, mastering these 3 elements will unlock unprecedented results.  Try applying them to one behavior this week and experience firsthand how powerful this framework can be in creating lasting transformation.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

Happy Friday, Regular Guys and Gals! Hey Regular Guys and Gals, we did it again. We made it through another week! How trying to help can actually sabotage healing, and why presence, not fixing, is the real gift. How “helping energy” can be rooted in ego and disempower those we care about. When to lean in, when to back off, and how to spot the difference. How seeing people (really seeing them) changes everything, whether it's a friend in crisis or a waitress with perfect Diet Coke timing. How your victim story gets you attention....and entitlement and not in a good way.  How nostalgia (and a few good carney memories) can spark gratitude and grit. How “The Magic” works when you work it. And why gratitude isn't just a tool — it's a way to rewire everything. RGF Bonus: The dream of “Victim Con” is born, Alice Cooper's unlikely spiritual side, Starbucks union organizing (courtesy of Evan), and what really happens when Kev almost entered the cube farm to be the temp from hell.

Send us a textDeeDee rushes over when Mom opens a very important envelope. It is from the governor, inviting her to a special award dinner. While they wash dishes, Mom shares a story from long ago about neighbors who brought food when their pantry was empty. Their kindness led the family to church and closer to God.

Apply to be in my next Learning Leader Circle - https://learningleader.com/leadership-circles/ This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Notes: Key Learnings The Mad Scientist Emotional Profile – High achievers typically have both high positive and high negative affect. "Hustlers, hard workers, strivers, entrepreneurs, ambitious people, they're in that quadrant of high positive, high negative affect." This creates intensity but requires management of negative emotions. Dangerous Negative Affect Management – People try to manage high negative affect through alcohol, excessive internet use/pornography, and workaholism. "The isms, the addictions, they're almost all negative affect management techniques." Two Best Ways to Manage Negative Affect: Faith, Spirituality, Philosophy - "Every day, go deep" into transcendent practices Physical Exercise - "Go pick up heavy things" - resistance training moderates negative emotions Arthur's 4:30 AM Protocol – Wakes at 4:30, works out 4:45-5:45, attends mass 6:30-7:00, then has high-protein breakfast with dark coffee at 7:45 for 4 hours of peak creative focus. "I get four hours of creative concentration with maximum dopamine." Exercise Reduces Unhappiness, Doesn't Create Happiness – "Working out hard... moderates negative affect. It makes you less unhappy" rather than directly increasing positive emotions. The Failure Journal Method – Write down failures/disappointments, return after 3 weeks to note learnings, return after 2 more months to identify good things that resulted. This installs learning in the prefrontal cortex rather than letting it "float around limbically." Early Success Can Be Dangerous – Scholars rejected for early research grants outperformed those with early success. "Much better is when you do the work and build yourself up... be a wholesaler before you become a retailer." Management Doesn't Provide Flow – "There's one kind of job where you don't get flow, and that's management... you're getting jerked from thing to thing to thing." Being CEO was "satisfying, but not enjoyable." Intelligence Must Serve Others – "Intelligence is just another gift... whether or not it makes you happier depends on whether or not you're using it to make other people happier." Denigrating others for lower intelligence indicates misusing your gift. The Arrival Fallacy – Olympic gold medalists often experience depression after winning because positive emotion comes from progress toward goals, not achieving them. "Your positive emotion doesn't exist to give you a permanent good day." Two Midlife Crisis Solutions: Focus on what age gives you rather than takes away Choose subtraction over addition - appreciate what you no longer have to do Making Changes Stick Requires Three Elements: Understand the science - Know why something works Change your habits - Actually implement different behaviors Teach it - Explain it to others to cement learning in the prefrontal cortex The Happiness Formula – "Use things, love people, worship the divine" instead of the natural impulses to "love things, use people, and worship yourself." Multi-generational Living Benefits – Arthur lives with adult children and grandchildren: "The research is clear that the closer you are to your grandchildren... the better it is for everybody." Quotes: "I get four hours of creative concentration with maximum dopamine in my prefrontal cortex... ordinarily I would get an hour and a half, two hours of real clarity." "The isms, the addictions, they're almost all negative affect management techniques." "Working out hard... makes you less unhappy. The research is very clear." "Being the boss isn't that fun. It just isn't." "I have carefully accounted for all of my days of happiness. They add up to 14." (Emir of Cordoba) "What's first prize in a pie eating contest? The answer is pie. So I hope you like pie." "Beware the corner office boys. Beware the corner office." "Use things, love people, worship the divine." "Watch one, do one, teach one." (Harvard Medical School) "Don't trust your impulses. Your impulses are to love things, use people, and worship yourself." Life Lessons Develop Daily Discipline Early - A Consistent morning routine with exercise and spiritual practice creates optimal brain chemistry for peak performance throughout the day. Manage High Achievement Personality - If you're a driven person, recognize you likely have high negative affect that needs healthy management through exercise and transcendent practices. Reframe Career Setbacks - Early failures often build stronger foundations than early successes. Use disappointments as learning opportunities through systematic reflection. Question Management Ambitions - Consider whether you enjoy management or just want the status/money. Management roles inherently provide less flow and enjoyment. Use Intelligence to Serve Others - Your cognitive gifts should lift others up, not put them down. Intelligence without service leads to unhappiness. Focus on Progress, Not Arrival - Derive satisfaction from forward momentum in meaningful work rather than achieving specific goals that won't provide lasting happiness. Embrace What Age Gives - In life transitions, focus on new capabilities and freedoms rather than what you're losing or leaving behind. Teach What You Learn - The most effective way to cement new habits and insights is to explain them to others. Teaching accelerates your own learning. Choose Subtraction - Happiness often comes from eliminating negative elements (bad meetings, toxic relationships) rather than adding more positive ones. Build Multi-Generational Relationships - Prioritize time with family across generations. The research strongly supports benefits for all parties. Exercise for Mental Health - View physical training as medication for negative emotions rather than just physical fitness. Cultivate Transcendent Practices - Whether religious, philosophical, or spiritual, daily engagement with something larger than yourself moderates negative emotions and provides meaning.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this inspiring episode of the Transformational Interview Series, Jim speaks with Sarah Johnson, a former TCP student whose journey from fear and self-doubt to authenticity and empowerment will resonate with anyone who's ever felt “not enough.” Once trapped in comparison and victim mentality, Sarah discovered through TCP how to let go of judgment, stop blaming others, and take full responsibility for her life. The result? A more peaceful mind, a thriving marriage, and a new career aligned with her purpose.  Sarah opens up about the struggles that held her back—fear of judgment, financial scarcity, and a lifelong tendency to please others—and how TCP gave her the tools to finally see her blind spots. She shares how shifting her focus from “What will people think?” to “How can I help others?” unlocked her authentic voice, healed her relationships, and led her to build her own business helping others uncover the hidden gifts in their shadows. If you've ever felt stuck in fear, blamed your circumstances, or struggled with money and self-worth, Sarah's story will show you that transformation is possible when you decide to step fully into responsibility and courage.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Facing the Fear of Being Seen (03:09) How Sarah's fear of judgment and comparison kept her small—and the simple shift Jim gave her that changed everything.  Letting Go of “What People Think” (08:17) The powerful breakthrough that allowed Sarah to stop ruminating, show up authentically, and care less about outside opinions.  From Blame to Responsibility (09:45) How releasing blame toward her husband and others gave her peace of mind and transformed her marriage.  Money Struggles and Scarcity (21:17) Sarah's cycle of debt and chasing “the next course”—and how TCP helped her take ownership and turn things around.  Rising Self-Worth (25:16) Her journey from a self-worth score of 2 to a 10, and why taking courageous action made all the difference.  The Gift of Helping Others (27:06) Why her true transformation came from serving others and stepping into her purpose of helping people see their shadows.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  Transformation begins when you step out of fear and take full responsibility for your life. Sarah's story shows that even the deepest patterns of victimhood, blame, and scarcity can be rewritten into empowerment, authenticity, and abundance. The very fears that hold you back are the doorways to your growth—if you're willing to walk through them.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
