We're kicking off a brand-new year with something many of you have asked for—the return of our live Q&A episodes. In this conversation, I'm joined once again by Uncle Joe as we answer real questions from men inside our community about parenting, connection with daughters, discipline, stoicism, faith, and leadership at home.   This episode goes deep. We talk about building trust with kids who feel distant, why saying "no" too often damages connection, how fathers can lead without demanding reciprocity, and the difference between white-knuckling life versus living from identity. If you're a dad who wants deeper relationships with your kids and clarity around leadership, faith, and emotional presence, this episode will challenge and ground you.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the 11th year of The Dad Edge Podcast. [1:37] Reflection on longevity, gratitude, and why this work still matters. [1:59] Announcement: Roommates to Soulmates eight-week course starting January 14. [2:19] What men will learn in the Roommates to Soulmates marriage training. [2:42] RSVP details for the January 7 preview call. [3:07] Welcoming Uncle Joe back to the show. [3:39] Listener question about connecting with daughters at different developmental stages. [5:14] Joe shares his experience raising three daughters. [6:33] Loving kids without expecting emotional reciprocation. [7:16] Why trust—not control—is the foundation of fatherhood. [8:08] Changing the default answer from "no" to "yes." [9:19] Joe shares the powerful "father promise ring" moment with his daughter. [10:41] Why fathers must make covenants to their kids—not demand them. [12:26] Larry shares his struggle connecting with his youngest son. [13:26] Letting kids lead connection through their interests. [14:12] Hiking, martial arts, and intentional one-on-one time. [15:19] Creating unique rituals with each child. [16:03] Capturing small moments for deep emotional connection. [18:12] Invitation to join the Dad Edge Alliance for live support and brotherhood. [19:51] Listener question about stoicism and discipline. [21:27] Larry explains why he moved away from stoicism. [22:29] Joe breaks down the appeal—and danger—of half-truths in stoicism. [24:07] White-knuckling life vs. living from identity. [25:00] Faith, identity, and emotional regulation. [27:28] Comparing stoicism with surrender and relationship-based leadership.

[35:19] Final thoughts, gratitude, and where to find resources.     Five Key Takeaways Connection with kids is built through trust, consistency, and presence—not control.  Fathers must lead relationships without demanding emotional repayment.  White-knuckling discipline leads to exhaustion; identity-based leadership leads to peace.  Kids feel deeply seen when dads meet them inside their interests.  True strength comes from surrender, faith, and relational grounding—not self-reliance alone.      Links & Resources Dad Edge Mastermind & Alliance: https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Roommates to Soulmates Course: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1423     Closing Remark   If this episode encouraged you, challenged your thinking, or gave you practical tools to lead better at home, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It's hosted by Liv Bolton. In this episode, Liv Bolton goes for a wonderfully atmospheric, mist-soaked walk in Eryri [Snowdonia] with Max Swinhoe. Max's love for hiking runs deep. She's completed the 2,200-mile long Appalachian Trail in the US, tackled multi-day routes across the UK, and she's now a Mountain Leader as well as a Mountain Rescue volunteer. But hiking has also been part of a much more personal journey for Max — one of self-acceptance and embracing her upper limb difference. She's now working to improve the representation of disability in the outdoors community, championing visibility, challenging assumptions, and showing just what's possible. We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Max!

What happens when a woman in midlife looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize herself anymore? For Belinda Coker, that moment didn't lead to reinvention seminars or vision boards — it led her into the rainforest, onto long trails, and eventually across continents. In this episode, Belinda shares how solo hiking became both a reset and a reclaiming: of confidence, health, joy, and self-trust. From walking the Camino de Santiago to surviving storms in Greenland, from navigating menopause-related health challenges to serendipity on a bus to Hadrian's Wall, this is a conversation about what happens when women finally do something for themselves. The mirror moment that sparked Belinda's midlife turning point How hiking soothed anxiety and reset her nervous system What solo hiking teaches you about confidence and self-reliance Living with lipedema — and staying active anyway How house sitting opened the world while keeping travel affordable Why it's never too late to start — and why midlife may be the perfect time Belinda wraps it up reminding us there are surprises around every corner.

Terry Real is a therapist and best-selling author expert on male emotional health and how men can build the skills for healthy relating to others: in relationships, work, friendships and to themselves. We discuss how mixed and ever-changing messages about what masculinity is are impacting the mental and physical health of men and boys. Terry explains how learning the skill of "relationality" leads to improvements in all aspects of boys' and men's lives and shares practical tools for how to do that. We also discuss the essential role of having a close male community to build confidence and self-esteem. This conversation offers actionable guidance for boys, men and women seeking to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Imagine trading one focused hour for twenty-three hours of feeling better. That's the deal we explore as we get real about staying fit after 50, navigating creeping weight gain, and finding motivation that lasts longer than a New Year's resolution. With Mike's parents joining the conversation, we dig into how consistency beats intensity, why shared workouts become anchors, and how mental health benefits often lead the way when physical goals feel far off.We don't shy away from the messy parts: a candid story about accidentally triggering serotonin syndrome highlights how fragile progress can feel when meds and side effects collide. That detour sets up a powerful shift in mindset—stop building goals around what you want less of, and start choosing goals you actively want. Hiking national parks after retirement. Biking for hours without pain. Playing on the floor with grandkids and popping back up with ease. When the hourglass keeps pouring and you don't know your balance, purposeful movement turns into a smart use of time, not a chore.We also get practical about food. The old habit of making treats “special” only feeds obsession, so we offer a calmer approach: put Oreos next to berries and pistachios, and let normalcy defuse the thrill. For teens who want to eat better in households that aren't there yet, we share small, realistic levers: ask for one or two swaps, own your hydration and sleep, move in ways you enjoy, and keep pressure off perfection. Between laughs about van life, middle seats, and the wildest childhood cleanup story you'll hear this week, the takeaway is simple and hopeful: choose a goal you can picture, make it friction-light, and invest a little each day so the rest of your day pays you back.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a short review—what's one hour you'll invest this week?

Your openness about pausing the AT, redefining success, and reflecting on legacy takes real courage, and I know those words will land with people who need them.Thank you for trusting me and the Trailblazing Texas Podcast with your story, and for everything you give to our community.— Jason Episode Description:In the final chapter of our three-part episode with The Hiking Rev, we kick-off this episode for a deeply honest and reflective discussion about what it means to pause a thru-hike, redefine success, and begin letting go of the biggest miles behind you.Rev opens up about the moment he made the difficult decision to step off the Appalachian Trail, not as a failure, but as a conscious pause. We talk about the emotions that come with that realization: the mix of relief, disappointment, clarity, and growth that only the trail can deliver. Even without a finish, the trail still gave lessons, perspective, and a reshaping of what success really means.Looking back on both the AT and the Pacific Crest Trail, Rev shares what those miles taught him about himself, along with unforgettable wildlife encounters, weather challenges, and moments that only happen when you commit to long-distance hiking. He also speaks directly to those standing on the edge of their own thru-hike dreams, scared, uncertain, but curious offering reassurance and wisdom earned the hard way.We also celebrate a meaningful milestone: the five-year anniversary of Rev's PCT journey. What started it all, how that experience has aged with time, and what still resonates today become part of a broader reflection on legacy, aging, and the evolving relationship between body, mind, and trail.In a powerful section titled What's Left in the Tank and Letting Go, we explore how hikers process the idea that the biggest adventures may be behind them and why that doesn't mean the trail is done giving. Rev reflects on slowing down, soaking more in, redefining identity beyond mileage, and what “the end of the trail” truly means (if it even exists).We close with a thoughtful wrap-up: essential gear advice, critical safety wisdom, and one final message Rev would leave for his family, his supporters, and the hiking community if this were his last word on the trail.This episode isn't about endings. It's about pauses, perspective, and honoring the miles that shaped you even when you don't walk them all.

It's funny how aging has a way of quietly changing the conversation we have with our bodies. I notice it when I'm moving or when a familiar pose needs more support, or when strength and flexibility show up differently than they used to. For a long time, I thought that meant I was losing something. What I'm realizing now is that it simply means that I'm being asked to listen more closely. There's still a part of me that loves a challenge, that enjoys feeling capable and engaged, even if the expression of that looks different than it once did. Lately, I've been paying attention to how I move instead of how far or how fast I go. Some days that means slowing down more than I expect. Other days it means stopping and taking a breath, or letting myself enjoy what's right in front of me instead of pushing through it.  What's surprised me is how much steadier I feel when I do that physically and mentally. I've noticed that when I stop trying to push my body into a version of itself that's not in alignment anymore, everything softens a bit. The movement feels more grounded. My mind settles. And I walk away feeling steadier than I expected. That's what I want to explore today as you lean into your inner athlete, at any age in real time, with all the adjustments and recalibrations that feel supportive. We'll carry that sentiment into today's Wise Walk and let it unfold gently, as we stay connected to our bodies, our breath, and our True Stride. As you age, are you leaning into your inner athlete and finding different activities that satisfy your need to overcome mental or physical challenges? Are you willing to keep doing some activities that you've done for a long time, and modify them to support the you that exists right now? What is an experience or activity you find yourself leaning into, and how is it supporting you? Why do you love it so much? Are you in touch with the feelings that surface when you participate in that activity and how it nurtures you mentally, emotionally, energetically, and physically? As you reflect on an activity or experience that feels aligned for you right now, are you focusing on enjoying the journey, not just the destination? If you are not, what are some ways you might begin to enjoy the journey more? How can you treat movement as a physical gift and take in the sights and senses as you appreciate it? Are you pacing yourself in a way that feels like your own natural pace? Are you avoiding rushing unless moving faster truly fuels you? What do you love about this activity or experience? How can you incorporate more of what you love so you receive both an energetic and an emotional high, not just a physical one? What is an experience or activity in your life that gives you a sense of purpose and belonging? How can you experience more of that in this season of life? In what ways can you explore or talk with others about the activities and experiences where they lean into their inner athlete? What does leaning into your inner athlete mean to you at this phase of life? How have you witnessed your own mental fortitude and athleticism by embracing successes, failures, and the modifications you need along the way? Are you willing to pace yourself in ways that feel aligned for you? Can you move through moments of fear or self-doubt because you know you can press on and it will be worth it in the end? Do you have the self-awareness to recognize that you are capable of far more than you sometimes give yourself credit for? Whatever you're doing in life, lean into that inner athlete and keep moving in a way that feels aligned with your True Stride. As always, I'd love to hear what you took away from today's episode. I look forward to next Thursday's Wise Walk, and until then, read the signs, direct your path, and get your Stride on! In this episode: [02:41] I love hiking because I get to physically move my body and I get to do it in a beautiful setting in nature. [03:18] There are moments of pushing yourself with rocky terrain or steep elevations. [04:05] When hiking, we're using so many of our natural abilities and instincts. We also get to move at our own pace. [05:42] How working out with an accountability partner and tracking your progress really benefits you. [08:05] Sometimes it gets in my head that I can't do the things that I used to be able to do. With hiking, I have no choice but to keep going and it helps eliminate some of the self-doubt. [09:07] There's gratitude and appreciation and positive self-talk that builds when you're hiking. [10:45] Being partnered with people that you can rely on increases your ability to succeed. [11:31] Hiking is truly just one step after the next. It is about surveying the landscape and then navigating to the destination that you want. [12:29] All of that focus, awareness, and positive self-talk gets ingrained in you, creating muscle memory that helps you recognize what success and failure actually feel like. [14:23] Another thing I love about hiking is the idea of being present whether in nature or outdoors. It's just magical. [16:38] Whatever you're doing in life, can you lean into that inner athlete just to put one foot in front of the next, to align with your True Stride, and then continue on your path?

In this gripping episode of the Trails & Tribulations series, I welcome Jose De La Rosa, a fellow SoCal peak bagger and hiking group leader, as he recounts a high-stakes rescue mission in the San Gabriel Mountains. After a successful group hike to Ontario Peak, Jose received a distress call from a friend who had slid down a canyon and was lost. What follows is an intense journey of leadership, teamwork, and determination as Jose and his friend Alfonso race against time and the elements to bring her back safely. The episode highlights critical lessons about the buddy system, staying calm in emergencies, and the importance of never being overconfident especially in challenging conditions. Jose's harrowing yet inspirational story underscores the unpredictability of group hiking adventures and serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience required when faced with unforeseen challenges.____________Have you ever experienced a survival moment or learned a tough lesson on the trail? Maybe you got lost, faced sudden weather, encountered wildlife, or found yourself pushed to your limits in ways you didn't expect. Trails & Tribulations is the space where those stories come to life, inspiring and connecting the outdoor community.

I sit down with yet another Jeff, but this one took things to a different level. Over the course of October and November, he completed 122 laps of the Manitou Incline, nearly a mile and over 2,000 feet of gain per lap, turning one of the most brutal stair climbs in the country into a month-long experiment in mental resilience.What started as training for a future unsupported FKT evolved into something much bigger. A Navy veteran with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, he shares how his nervous system adapted to years in combat and why returning to everyday civilian life felt overwhelming. Loud environments, crowds, and constant inputs became difficult, while long, repetitive movement in nature helped turn the volume back down.We talk about why hiking and rucking can work where therapy and medication do not for some veterans, how mundane suffering and repetition create space for processing trauma, and why unsupported FKTs and long efforts with weight may be a wide-open niche for athletes with military backgrounds. He explains how the incline project became a fundraiser and awareness campaign for Warrior Expeditions, a veteran-led nonprofit that helps veterans heal through long-distance hiking.This conversation dives into combat stress, family life, fatherhood, endurance, mental health, and the simple power of left foot, right foot. It is a powerful reminder that the outdoors offers different things to different people, and sometimes the hardest, most boring path is the one that helps us heal the most.Check out Warrier Expeditions: https://warriorexpeditions.org/Follow Jeff Snyder: https://www.instagram.com/jsnydersoloadventures/Chapters00:00 The Manitou Incline Challenge05:10 Mental Resilience Through Hiking07:41 The Impact of Combat on Mental Health10:07 Nature as a Healing Tool13:01 The Role of Community in Recovery15:36 Fundraising for Warrior Expeditions17:58 Accidental Discoveries in Nature20:35 Transitioning from Rucking to Hiking23:15 The Importance of Mindset in Outdoor Challenges25:23 Unexpected Changes in Combat Situations28:01 Daily Life and the Incline Challenge30:31 Supporting Veterans Through Outdoor ActivitiesSubscribe to Substack: http://freeoutside.substack.comSupport this content on patreon: HTTP://patreon.com/freeoutsideBuy my book "Free Outside" on Amazon: https://amzn.to/39LpoSFEmail me to buy a signed copy of my book, "Free Outside" at jeff@freeoutside.comWatch the movie about setting the record on the Colorado Trail: https://tubitv.com/movies/100019916/free-outsideWebsite: www.Freeoutside.comInstagram: thefreeoutsidefacebook: www.facebook.com/freeoutside

The desert doesn't whisper here—it sings off canyon walls. We headed to Big Bend to chase that sound and came back with a pocket full of must-do hikes, a few hard-won driving tips, and a fresh respect for how wild West Texas still is. From the instant payoff of Santa Elena Canyon to the echoing turns of Boquillas, we show you how to thread quick stops with immersive moments so you actually feel the place, not just check it off.We start along the Rio Grande, where pale desert frames a sudden surge of green. The Rio Grande Village Nature Trail surprised us with boardwalks and birdsong that felt more Louisiana than Chihuahuan Desert. A flood-damaged road kept us from the Hot Springs Historic Trail, so we traded soaking for summits and took local advice to tackle Lost Mine. With a knowledgeable guide from Big Bend Boating and Hiking, the Chisos Basin unfolded in layers—geology, plants, and long views that shift every step. If you've only got one big hike in you, make it this one.Then we swapped boots for a Jeep and rolled out with Far Flung. Abandoned mercury mines, Terlingua ghost-town lore, and the red-tinged bones of the desert gave the landscape a different edge. Our guide balanced history and wonder, a combo that matters in a park where beauty and risk run side by side. We also mapped the drives that tie it all together: Barton Warnock's museum-like visitor center, the overlook to Closed Canyon, and a free dark sky star party where the Milky Way looked close enough to touch. Finish with a golden-hour ascent to the Chisos Basin Lodge road—less for the lodge itself and more for the light that sets the ridges on fire.If you're planning Big Bend, this guide packs quick wins, deeper routes, safety smarts, and the best ways to see more with less stress.

Message from the Host:This conversation hit close to home for me. As someone who's found peace, clarity, and healing on trail, hearing Rev talk about the miles and the moments in between reminded me why I fell in love with hiking in the first place. Not every journey ends the way we plan, and that doesn't make it a failure, it makes it human. I'm grateful for this conversation, and I hope it meets you wherever you are on your own path. Episode Description:In this episode, Rev shares what makes hiking in California so unique, from iconic, must-do trails to lesser-known routes that deliver big views without the crowds. We talk about how he finds new trails, how California's hiking culture has evolved, and why this landscape continues to leave a lasting mark on those who explore it.We also dive into wildlife and terrain, covering responsible encounters with animals like bears and mountain lions, the best places to experience wildflowers and old-growth forests, and the geological features that make California hiking unlike anywhere else.Safety and preparedness take center stage as Rev offers practical insight on sudden weather changes, essential gear, navigation apps, permits, and real hazards like rockfall and avalanche terrain.The conversation then shifts to the Pacific Crest Trail—what inspired Rev to attempt it, what makes the California section so special, the hardest moments on trail, and how the experience changed him long after the miles were done.We close with a thoughtful reflection on the Appalachian Trail attempt that was paused, not ended—what it felt like to step away, and why knowing when to go home can be just as important as pushing forward.This episode is packed with experience, perspective, and trail-earned wisdom, perfect for anyone who loves the journey as much as the destination.

What gear do you actually need to hike out safely through a winter blizzard at night, in sub-freezing temps and high winds, when stopping isn't an option? In this episode, Ryan breaks down a focused foul-weather kit: core layers, shells, handwear, footwear, lighting, and navigation that preserve function while on the move.

In this episode, Chris from Indiana shares multiple chilling encounters from some of the state's most active forests, including Morgan-Monroe State Forest, Turkey Run State Park, and Indiana Dunes. While hiking and foraging deep in the backcountry, Chris and his group experience rock throwing, possible wood knocks, massive footprints with long stride lengths, and unnatural tree structures that defy simple explanations.What began as routine hiking and herbal medicine foraging quickly escalated into something far more intense when objects were thrown from unseen locations and strange activity surrounded the group in remote terrain. Chris also details disturbing track discoveries, bent and broken trees at impossible heights, and lingering feelings of being watched.The conversation explores patterns of Sasquatch behavior, forest “corridors” across Indiana, and how similar encounters are being reported in connected wilderness areas throughout the Midwest. This episode delves into whether these events represent territorial behavior, warnings, or something far stranger hiding just beyond sight.If you're interested in Bigfoot encounters, Sasquatch evidence, stone throwing behavior, tree structures, unexplained forest activity, or Midwest cryptid reports, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Contact Chris here: chrishidalgo5@yahoo.com 

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1529"I think the biggest psychological crime is people fear running outta money instead of fear of wasting their life." - Bill PerkinsBill Perkins watched busloads of senior citizens arrive in St. Petersburg, Russia. Not a single person climbed the 115 steps to see the breathtaking view from the church balcony. They had the money for the trip, the time to travel, but their bodies wouldn't cooperate anymore. That moment crystallized everything he'd been thinking about how we get life backwards. We treat money like it's the goal when it's actually just a tool, one that loses effectiveness as our bodies and minds decline. Your body peaks at 33. After that, it's plateau and decline. Those hiking trips, those physical adventures, those experiences that require energy and health—they have expiration dates we refuse to acknowledge. We tell ourselves we'll do them later, when we're more financially secure, but later means weaker knees, less stamina, different limitations.Perkins talks about life in buckets, periods you'll never get back. Your twenties happen once. The years with small children happen once. Each phase has experiences designed for it, and if you miss them, they interfere with each other or disappear entirely. He uses a Tetris metaphor: imagine standing in heaven with God, throwing every experience you want into a bucket. Hiking, building businesses, raising kids, traveling to places that require climbing, all of it. God says you can have everything, you just have to get the order right. That's the game. That's what most people get catastrophically wrong. They're so afraid of judgment, so terrified of running out of money that they waste the periods of life when those experiences would mean the most, when their bodies could actually do them. This isn't about reckless spending. It's about understanding that your ability to convert money into fulfilling experiences decays over time, and no amount of savings can buy back the body you had at 33.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's poem is Hiking Moraine State Park by Violeta Garcia-Mendoza. The Slowdown is taking a week to return to some of our favorite episodes from Maggie's tenure so far. We'll be back on Monday, December 15 with new episodes. Today's episode was originally released on October 1, 2025. In this episode, Maggie writes… “A big part of loving someone, whether they're a friend or a family member or someone you're romantically involved with, is embracing them exactly as they are. Not hoping they'll change, or waiting for them to change, or—worst of all—trying to change them yourself.”Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne talks with New England-based photographer and hiker Mike Weinhold about balancing the goals of list hiking with the creative process of nature photography. Mike shares his journey from a casual hiker to completing the New Hampshire 48 (the state's 48 mountains over 4,000 feet) while always carrying his camera, navigating the tension between summiting for the checklist and slowing down for great images. They discuss motivations behind list hiking, its upsides and controversies, and how long-term projects shape one's work and connection to the outdoors. Mike also delves into managing family life, curating large photo archives, the importance of intention in the photographic process, and blending writing with images to create deeper stories. The episode ends with thoughts on community, growth, and keeping passion alive even with a busy life and young children.
