What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to ignore the experts? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kara Goldin, Founder of Hint Water and bestselling author of Undaunted, to reveal what it really takes to build a brand, a company, and a category from the ground up. From rejection and industry pushback to Goliath competitors and well-meaning “experts” who swear your idea won't work, this conversation is a blueprint for staying unshakably committed to your vision, even when no one else understands it. Here's what you'll learn: Why bold ideas are doubted before they're celebrated — and how to push forward anyway How to distinguish genuine insight from the limiting beliefs of others What it takes to stay persistent when you're creating something no one has ever done before If you want a real-world example of what unwavering commitment can create, this episode is it. ---- Show Notes: 04:32 — Why Kara says she never would have started Hint if she knew how difficult the journey would be. 06:34 — What it took to create a completely new beverage category and convince buyers it mattered. 08:57 — The moment a senior Coca-Cola executive dismissed her idea and told her Americans “love sweet.” 12:51 — How Kara learned to separate genuine expertise from limiting beliefs disguised as advice. 16:06 — What watching Ted Turner build CNN taught her about conviction and pursuing ideas others doubt. 22:01 — How giving up Diet Coke for her own health became the unexpected catalyst for creating Hint. 30:56 — How little she actually knew about the beverage industry and why that ignorance helped her innovate. 35:25 — How landing Starbucks became a breakthrough moment that suddenly reversed without warning. 39:07 — Why Kara believes dark days don't last forever and how unexpected opportunities follow adversity.

If next year were a movie, what kind of film would it be? Action? Adventure? Redemption? A rom-com with questionable decisions and a killer soundtrack? Whatever it is — here's the truth: no magical hand is writing it for you. You get to take the damn pen. You're the writer, the director, and the lead. In this follow-up to The Hero's Journey, April hands you the director's chair for your own life. Too many leaders and entrepreneurs drift into another year by default — replaying the same story, following the same plot, repeating the same dialogue. But what if 2025 wasn't a sequel? What if you wrote something entirely new? In this episode, April challenges you to choose your genre, claim your pen, and direct a story that actually excites you. Because your life isn't a rerun — it's a production in progress. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ You Are the Director of Your Story No one else gets to decide the tone, the plot, or the outcome. You hold the pen. 2️⃣ Drift vs. Direction Most of us live other people's priorities — reacting instead of creating. 2025 doesn't have to be a rerun; it can be your reboot. 3️⃣ The Coaching Call that Sparked It During a group session, April asked: "If next year were a movie, what would it be?" William said The Greatest Showman — bold moves, bigger stages. Daniel said The Pursuit of Happyness — grit and purpose over glamour. Katrina said The Wizard of Oz — the journey home to her own power. Each one picked a story that matched their growth season. 4️⃣ The Plot Twist for You So, what's your movie? Action — courage to leap into what you've delayed. Redemption — rebuilding after loss or burnout. Release — letting go of control, perfectionism, or old identities. Rated R for real life — raw, unfiltered, fully alive. 5️⃣ April's Reminder You're not behind — you're just busy filming the wrong movie. If last year was Groundhog Day, make this year The Great Escape. If last year was Cast Away, make this one Homecoming. Quotes "No producer is coming to save your script — you already hold the pen." "You're not behind; you're just stuck in the wrong movie." "If last year was a sequel, this year can be your reboot." "You don't need permission to start — just courage to claim the pen." Challenge for Pivoters Take ten quiet minutes this week — no phone, no noise. Write the title of your 2025 movie. Ask yourself:

Do you hit that 3PM wall and feel like your brain's gone on vacation without you? You're not broken or lazy—your body is just trying to tell you something.In today's solocast, I'm diving into the real reasons behind the afternoon slump. (Hint: it's not just about needing more coffee.) I'm sharing the science, the self-awareness, and the nervous system wisdom behind that foggy, cranky, mid-day crash—plus the exact ritual I use to reset my energy and feel ALIVE again.It's time to trade the sugar crash for a grounded comeback. This episode is your permission slip to pause, breathe, and reclaim your power—one mindful sip at a time.What you'll get out of this episode… Discover the real reason you feel foggy, anxious, or unfocused in the afternoonInsights on why quick fixes don't work—and how to create sustainable midday habits that support your mental healthA powerful reframe on how slowing down can actually boost productivity, presence, and clarityAyurvedic wisdom on adaptogens, herbs, and rituals that nourish your focus and regulate your nervous systemBreathe better with JASPRAs a mama healing from mold toxicity, air quality has become deeply personal for me.

What if joy wasn't something you stumbled into… but something you practiced? Today's episode wraps up our 3-part series on spiritual power inspired by President Russell M. Nelson, and we're talking about one of the biggest spiritual misconceptions out there: If the gospel is a gospel of joy, then why does life feel so hard? Oh, friend. You're not alone. And it's not because joy is missing. It's because we don't know how to access it. Yet. In this episode we'll break that down. Here's what you'll learn: The real difference between "feeling good" and true joy (Hint: one numbs you, the other strengthens you.) Why joy requires redirection, not perfection (and how President Nelson modeled this masterfully—yes, through heartbreak). How boredom might actually be your biggest spiritual opportunity (and how to use that 5 minutes when your brain wants to scroll.) The simple, joyful way to "collect God's promises" — one verse at a time. Three real-life examples from scripture you can copy today: Isaiah 61 and binding your broken heart Enos and praying for people who've hurt you Alma the Younger and God hearing a parent's prayers No guilt. No forced positivity. Just real joy, the kind that grows your confidence in God and yourself. Big Takeaway Joy isn't something you wait for. Joy is something you collect, one promise at a time. When you gather God's promises, you gather spiritual power. Try This (Your Joy Challenge for the Week) Just once this week, when your brain defaults to scrolling or snacking from boredom, redirect.

TRIGGERWARNUNG - Es ist eine Art True Crime-Folge, denn es geht um sexualisierte Gewalterfahrungen, eine Gemeinschaft, die wegschaut & das Trauma durch spirituell missbräuchliche Seelsorge verschlimmert. Bitte hört diese Folge nicht alleine bzw. in einem sicheren Setting, wenn ihr selbst betroffen seid. Danke, dass ihr auch belastende Geschichten mit uns anhört, es ist besonders da super wichtig nicht weg zu schauen. Falls es dich aber zu sehr runterzieht, dann hat das einen Grund und dann ist es eventuell die Aufgabe anderer FCK PURITY Geschwister für dich hinzuschauen. ;) Unsere Gästin ist heute nur schriftlich bei uns. In dieser Episode von FCK PURITY lesen und besprechen wir, Mona Mae und Nana Myrrhe die Geschichte von Ava*, einer anonymen Zuhörerin, die ihre Erfahrungen mit Purity Culture und den damit verbundenen Missbrauch teilt. Die beiden sprechen über die toxischen Auswirkungen von Glaubensgemeinschaften, die Verantwortung von Seelsorger*innen, anderen Frauen und der Täter-Opfer-Umkehr in diesen Strukturen und die Notwendigkeit, professionelle Hilfe in Anspruch zu nehmen. Avas Erzählung beleuchtet die Herausforderungen, die mit der Aufarbeitung von Trauma und der Suche nach Heilung verbunden sind. In diesem deep dive in ihre Story und der Diskussion darüber wird die Bedeutung von Unterstützung und institutioneller Hilfe für Kinder und Jugendliche in schwierigen Lebenssituationen thematisiert. Die Gesprächspartnerinnen reflektieren über persönliche Erfahrungen mit familiären Herausforderungen, der Suche nach spiritueller Geborgenheit und den Schwierigkeiten innerhalb von Glaubensgemeinschaften und die Art, wie man Betroffenen im eigenen Umfeld helfen kann und muss. Hier sind hilfreiche Nummern und Websites, die einen dabei unterstützen. *Name geändert Hilfe für Betroffene & Angehörige in Not ✨Avas Tipp✨ Bundesweite Opferhilfe https://www.hilfe-info.de/Webs/hilfeinfo/DE/Hilfe - Hilfetelefon Gewalt gegen Frauen 116 016 https://www.bafza.de/rat-und-hilfe/hilfetelefon-gewalt-gegen-frauen - Frauennotruf 089 763737 *Sitz in München, aber Online & telefonische Beratung von überall möglich* https://frauennotruf-muenchen.de/ - Hilfetelefon Gewalt an Männern 0800 1239900 https://www.maennerhilfetelefon.de/ - Nummer gegen Kummer 116 111 (Jugendliche) 0800 1110550 (Eltern) *psychische Belastung bei Jugendlichen - Beratung für Kinder & Jugendliche sowie Eltern* https://www.nummergegenkummer.de/ - Telefonseelsorge 0800 1110111 *bei generell psychischer Belastung & Traumatisierung* https://www.telefonseelsorge.de/ - Bundesweite Koordinationsstelle Psychotherapie 116117 *Unterstützung bei der Suche eines passenden Therapieplatzes* https://arztsuche.116117.de/ Hier sind die E-Mail-Adressen, falls ihr euch als Erstkontakt an uns wenden möchtet mona.kraehling@gmail.com nana.myrrhe@posteo.de Unsere wichtigen Learnings aus dieser Folge - Es ist wichtig, toxische Theologien zu benennen und zu kritisieren. - Professionelle Hilfe ist entscheidend für die Heilung von Trauma. - Die Verantwortung für sexuelle Übergriffe wird oft auf Frauen übertragen. - Glaubensgemeinschaften können sowohl Halt als auch Schaden bringen. - Purity Culture hat tiefgreifende Auswirkungen auf das Selbstwertgefühl von Frauen. Wir werden Teil 2 und eventuell 3 dieser Folge aufzeichnen und uns eventuell noch professionelle Unterstützung dazu holen, da die Geschichte sehr belastend ist und wir beide keine Psychologinnen bzw. Psychotherapeutinnen sind. Seid gespannt darauf, wie es weiter geht - und kleiner Hint, Ava ist im Heilungsprozess inzwischen ein riesen Stück weiter und wir sind unendlich stolz auf sie. Danke fürs Teilen deiner wichtigen Geschichte, fürs Sirene sein und laut heilen. Dein Mut ist eine Quelle der Inspiration für uns alle und wir alle können dafür sorgen, Glaubensräume und - gemeinschaften zu sichereren Orten zu machen. Dank dir und allen, die hier ihre Geschichte teilen. Danke euch und danke dir, liebe Ava*.

What separates a top 10% school from the other 90%? In this episode, Ryan lays out the habits, systems, and mindsets that high-performing, innovative schools share—and the traps they refuse to touch. You'll hear why visiting model PBL schools is a game-changer, what visionary principals actually do differently, and how you can start moving your school into that top tier without waiting for summer PD. Key Topics Covered Why You Shouldn't Wait Until Summer to Start PBL Leaders get stuck thinking they should “start PBL next year.” Ryan breaks down why the second semester is the smartest launchpad and how to get your leadership team trained now so teacher PD in the summer actually sticks. What You Experience at a Top 10% School Ryan explains why stepping into a top-tier PBL school feels different—teachers talk differently, students use real-world vocabulary like collaboration and conflict resolution, and the culture is unmistakably student-centered. Lessons from Model Schools From solar-powered Babcock Ranch in Florida to standout campuses across Missouri, Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, and beyond, Ryan highlights what visiting high-performing PBL schools will teach you about culture, process, and leadership clarity. The Mindset of a Top 10% Principal What do innovative leaders fear most? Hint: it's not test scores. Ryan shares an interview with principal Cynthia Bruno, who says her biggest fear is students having ordinary school days—an unacceptable outcome for a true top-tier leader. What Top 10% Schools Do ✔ Build a strong leadership team Assistant principals, coaches, and teachers collaborate to shape and spread the vision. ✔ Use instructional coaches intentionally Not data clerks—actual co-teachers and PD leaders. ✔ Create a written 3-year vision If it's not written, it's not real. ✔ Protect their calendar with fierce precision Deep work blocks. Limited weekend labor. No white-space for chaos. ✔ Develop systems that outlive the leader So the school thrives even when leadership changes. What Top 10% Schools Don't Do ✘ Sit-and-get faculty meetings Logistical items go in the newsletter—meetings are for collaboration and learning. ✘ Fixed mindset thinking Problems are solvable. Kids can grow. Systems can improve. Period. ✘ Hide in the office High-level leaders are visible, affirming, and vision-casting in classrooms daily. Practical Takeaways for Leaders If you want a top 10% school, you can't behave like the 90%. Build leadership capacity before summer. Visit innovative schools—they'll change your vision instantly. Anchor everything in a clear, simple, repeatable vision. Protect your time so you can do the meaningful work. Call to Action If you're ready to launch PBL with clarity and momentum, check out the on-demand and in-person webinars at pblwebinar.com. And if you want to visit a model PBL school, we can help you connect with one in your region.

It's a Thanksgiving miracle on Gridiron Gurus this week. The Chiefs lose. The Eagles lose. THE RAMS LOSE?! For once, everything went right for VT — so right, in fact, that he gives Week 13 his highest score of the season. If the Chiefs, Eagles, and Rams all lose again next week? VT might officially become the happiest UNC in the world. Meanwhile, the Patriots win again, Terry and VT dive into every matchup from Week 13, and then roll straight into Week 14 predictions with all the usual chaos, optimism, and despair you've come to expect. Plus: fantasy football playoff advice. Hint: fade the Vikings and stream defenses playing against them like your season depends on it — because it probably does. It's a loaded, delirious, miracle-filled episode. Let's go.

Featured Musician: The Band Feel THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.] --------------------- Not necessarily in this order. 1. Maryland Preview: Offense starts at around noon They have a kid quarterback too, but Malik Washington doesn't have an offensive line or a running game to help him. He does have a redzone threat in Shaleak Knotts and a couple of other productive receivers. That offensive line is the problem—their left tackle is from Central Connecticut State and he's not even their worst OL. Their TE room is banged up and bad at blocking. The RB and TE are good receivers but don't contribute much to the run game either, and somebody on this team has to protect the QB. 2. Maryland Preview: Defense starts at around 12:20 PM They're very young—younger than we are. Remember when Jalen Huskey picked off JJ McCarthy in the endzone? Hint: it was the game JJ threw interceptions in 2023 and made us feel bad briefly. They're opportunistic in the secondary, and won some games early in the season because they pick the ball off. They also have some transfers who make the passing game tough sledding: an Ohio vagabond who gets the backfield, a true freshman pass rusher that M had its eye on. Safeties are the returning starters and the best part of the defense, but have to hang back and clean up after the kids. Prescription: pound 'em. 3. Hoops: TCU and MTSU After-Action Report starts around 12:40 PM This team can be maddening. They have eight to nine starters who will take over a game or throw it away on any given possession. Aday Mara can be inconsistent even when his height isn't, and that's why they're 6th in Kenpom. Team fixed its rebounding issues and sprung some major turnover issues that allowed MTSU back into a game they were out of, before they were out of it again. The Blue Raiders settled for a lot of jumpers—contested threes or pullup other twos, while M is scoring 1.4 PPP at the rim. That formula is going to work against a lot of teams, but San Diego State and Auburn are going to be real threats. 4. Northwestern After Review starts at around 1:00 PM Andrew Marsh, come on down. Already on star watch and boy do we like that. Bryce was pretty good except when he threw a REALLY BAD freshman interception and an only kinda bad OC interception because they went to the well one too many times against Robert Fitzgerald, who balled out. Run game: Jordan Marshall is special but Bryson Kuzdzal is playable. Offensive line continues to do well against this level of competition; got 70% of their available yards against a very good defense. Defensively Seth thinks he's figured out (finally) why Michigan's rotations are what they are, in part because Michigan finally figured out their rotations. They also tried a new 3-3-5 defensive strategy that uses Barham as a linebacker and Hausmann as a hybrid, but it suffered the same fate as a lot of Wink ideas when he springs something new. Fine games from Brandyn Hillman and Mason Curtis; not as mad at Bowles as I thought we'd be. Cam Brandt: that's still weird, at least in pass rush, but he did some things in the run game to justify himself again. Featured Artist: The Band Feel You know here at MGoBlog we're fans of the un-Googleable. The Band Feel, which will be at The Pig in a few weeks, looks, acts, and sounds like a lost act from the early 1970s. But man does it ever work now, and it's not like the psychedelic ideas stopped coming when all the Zeppelin knockoffs drank themselves into glam. The Band Feel picks up where Beck, Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc. left off, but they also work in all the threads that have been developed since. The hit is "Shoal Creek" which sounds like a long lost Led Zeppelin song, but I stumbled on "Fly Birdy, Fly" which weaves in some of the bluegrassy ideas that became country back into rock. Goodbye Virginia is off their 2024 EP but the others are from their newest album Into the Sun. Songs: Icarus Fly Birdy, Fly Goodbye Virginia Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken down, the opener and outro: “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat
