Podcasts about hitting

In this powerful and deeply emotional episode, I sit down with my good friend Sean Cochran, CEO of Men for Life, to have one of the rawest conversations we've ever shared on this podcast. Sean opens up about losing his first child to abortion at 19 and the seven-year spiral that followed—addiction, gambling, overdoses, isolation, and hitting rock bottom on the floor of a dirty hotel room. His story is one of unimaginable darkness, but also unbelievable redemption.   We explore how culture has silenced men in the abortion conversation, the devastating emotional impact so many men carry in secret, and Sean's journey from shame to recovery, fatherhood, and ultimately becoming a national voice for men who feel unseen in this space. We also dive into the mission behind Men for Life, the data behind father involvement, and how redefining authentic masculinity can change families and communities for generations.     Timeline Summary   [0:00] Sean begins sharing why abortion is not just a "women's issue." [2:03] The staggering data on how many men are affected by abortion every year. [3:56] Sean's personal story begins—19 years old, his girlfriend is pregnant. [5:06] Learning the abortion would happen despite his desire to keep the baby. [6:34] The counselor who told him "this doesn't affect you"—and how that shaped years of silence. [8:05] Addiction escalates: cocaine, ecstasy, gambling, and stealing. [9:25] Hitting rock bottom in a hotel room and believing he would die. [10:59] A moment of surrender and prayer that changed everything. [12:50] Entering treatment, beginning healing, and naming his son "Michael." [15:38] Rebuilding: finishing college, law school, starting a family. [17:04] Adopting three children—and the powerful contrast between two mothers' choices. [18:28] Realizing he was failing as a lawyer, husband, and father—and shutting down his law practice. [21:00] Discovering men everywhere carry hidden abortion wounds after speaking publicly for the first time. [23:03] How Sean was led—against his own plans—to become CEO of Men for Life. [26:05] The mission: creating a fatherhood program that transforms young men and saves lives. [28:00] Why authentic masculinity is rooted in service, courage, sacrifice, and Christ-like leadership. [30:00] How men can get involved and support Men for Life.     Five Key Takeaways Men are deeply impacted by abortion, yet culture has told them their voice doesn't matter. One in five men will lose a child to abortion by age 45—and most carry that pain alone. Sean's seven-year spiral was fueled by unprocessed grief, shame, and the belief that he "didn't matter." Father involvement changes outcomes: when men see an ultrasound and go through a fatherhood program, 97% choose life. Authentic masculinity isn't domination—it's service, courage, sacrifice, and living for something bigger than yourself.     Links & Resources Mentioned Men for Life Website: https://menforlife.org Contact Sean Directly: Email: sean@menforlife.org or https://menforlife.org/contact-us Sean's Instagram: https://instagram.com/lseancorcoran Dad Edge Mastermind: https://thedadedge.com/mastermind Episode Show Notes Page: https://thedadedge.com/1411   Closing Remark If today's episode moved you, inspired you, or helped you feel less alone, please take a moment to rate, review, and share the podcast.

#707 Want a business that turns fresh asphalt into a “blank canvas” — and pays well for satisfying, repeatable work? In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel talks with Cinco Winston, founder of Trueline Striping in Central Texas, about how he left a stable construction career, skipped the franchise route, and bootstrapped his own parking lot striping company to cash flow within two months. He shares how he trained with an out-of-state pro, bought only the essentials to get started, and strategically targeted customers who actually value curb appeal and recurring maintenance. Cinco breaks down startup costs, pricing, profit margins, seasonality, and why he's still running lean while planning for future growth. If you've ever wondered how “unsexy” service businesses quietly generate great income and freedom, this conversation will open your eyes! What we discuss with Cinco: + Leaving construction to start striping + Choosing independent over franchise + Training with an out-of-state striping company + Bootstrapping equipment and startup costs + Hitting cash flow within two months + Discounting early jobs to gain clients + Targeting customers who value curb appeal + Door knocking and in-person sales + Managing seasonality and recurring clients + Profit margins, salary, and plans to scale Thank you, Cinco!

In this inspiring strength training transformation story, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Coach Mac McGregor and his longtime client, Gillespie Ferguson, to explore one of the most powerful journeys ever shared on Beast Over Burden. Once a self-described "unathletic" late starter plagued by chronic pain, self-doubt, and years of setbacks, Gillespie rebuilt not just his lifts but his entire understanding of what he was capable of. Through patient coaching, persistent work, and a deep friendship formed through the process, he transformed from a hesitant beginner into a confident, physically capable Coast Guard volunteer on the Isle of Skye. In this candid conversation, Mac and Gillespie walk through the early struggles of pain and insecurity, the slow technical rebuild of every lift, the psychological work of staying committed through setbacks, and the surprising breakthrough that came years into training. They also share the dramatic impact of Lyme disease, the process of starting over from scratch, and why knowing how to train is the ultimate form of resilience. This episode is a reminder that strength is not reserved for the gifted—it's for anyone willing to start, struggle, and keep showing up. Whether you're a beginner, someone returning from pain, a coach working with complex clients, or simply someone who needs to hear that transformation is possible at any age, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

There's no better way to experience Australia than hitting the road. Between the wide-open landscapes, country bakery pies, and unexpected wildlife, a road trip lets you take in the country at your own pace. But even if you've driven overseas, Australia comes with its own set of challenges, especially when you venture off the beaten path. - Աւստրալիան ճանչնալու ամէնէ լաւ միջոցը ինքնաշարժով ճամբորդելն է։ Անծայրածիր բնութիւնը վայելելէ, գիւղական փուռերէն թարմ կարկանդակներ համտեսելէ և անսպասելի վայրի կենդանիներ տեսնելէ զատ, ճանապարհային ճամբորդութիւնները հնարաւորութիւն կու տան աւելի մօտէն ծանօթանալու երկրին, քան պարզապէս թռիչքով նպատակակէտին հասնիլը։ Բայց նոյնիսկ եթէ ուրիշ վայրեր ճամբորդութիւններ կատարած էք, Աւստրալիան ունի իր իւրայատուկ մարտահրաւէրները:

The Government says it's working with social media, tech, and telco companies to tackle scams targeting New Zealanders, after criticism the companies weren't doing enough. Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Scott Simpson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

NIO founder, chairman and CEO William Li held a private media briefing on November 27, 2025 at NIO headquarters in Shanghai where he made a bold statement about Q4 profitability targets. When asked if there's a backup plan in case profitability targets aren't met on schedule, Li responded there is no Plan BThis statement comes two days after NIO reported Q3 2025 earnings showing net loss of 3.48 billion REN, the lowest since Q3 2022, and adjusted non-GAAP net loss of 2.74 billion REN, down 38.0 percent year-over-year. During the November 25 earnings call, management reiterated confidence in achieving the company's first quarterly profit in Q4 2025 with the goal of reaching full-year breakeven in 2026.But, NIO revised Q4 delivery guidance downward from the previously stated 150,000 unit target to 120,000-125,000 vehicles, a reduction of approximately 25,000 units. This means NIO is attempting to achieve profitability with lower deliveries than originally planned, making the margin of error extremely tight.Analysts are divided on whether NIO can achieve Q4 profitability. CMB International projects NIO will likely miss the Q4 breakeven target, estimating a net loss of 1.6 billion REN with non-GAAP adjusted net loss of 700 million REN, citing challenges in controlling sales and administrative expenses. Conversely, JP Morgan believes NIO is poised to turn profitable in Q4 and reach a profitability inflection point in 2026.Li addressed several challenges during the media briefing. He stated the abrupt withdrawal of trade-in subsidies significantly impacted the market in ways the industry hadn't anticipated, leading to a sharp decline in new orders across the sector. Multiple Chinese provinces and cities phased out vehicle trade-in subsidies over recent months, and starting January 1, 2026, new energy vehicle purchases will face a 5 percent purchase tax instead of full exemption.Li's strategy is to maintain price stability because NIO still has backlog orders for the all-new ES8 which performs well in its segment. He acknowledged that all other models except the NIO ES8, Firefly, and upcoming ET9 have been affected by market conditions. The ES8 is critical to Q4 profitability as it's NIO's highest-margin vehicle with management targeting 40,000 ES8 deliveries for full-year 2025, the majority coming in Q4 with margins exceeding 20 percent.Li also revealed a significant strategic shift in NIO's business philosophy, stating the company is no longer solely pursuing sales volume but focusing more on operational quality with the core goal being annual profitability. He noted NIO has invested heavily in foundational R&D over recent years including chips, operating systems, and the 900-volt high-voltage platform, and this foundational work is now complete with subsequent efforts requiring less substantial investment. Quarterly R&D spending of 2 billion REN remains sufficient to maintain competitiveness.Importantly, Li acknowledged that with just over 1 percent market share in China's 30 million-unit annual vehicle market, NIO lacks the standing to consider ventures beyond automobiles, stating for a considerable period the company will remain focused on refining automotive products, working hard to build them and sell them.Li acknowledged Q1 2026 will be traditionally challenging for the auto industry but noted NIO still holds a backlog of ES8 orders to help cushion the impact. He expressed confidence in achieving the full-year 2026 profitability target despite market uncertainties.This episode analyzes what no Plan B actually means across three layers: organizational focus, all-in mentality, and market messaging. It examines whether this bold public commitment is confident leadership or sets up potential credibility damage if targets are missed. Key metrics to watch include December delivery numbers announced January 1st, ES8 delivery volumes, price stability versus promotional activity, and Q1 2026 guidance during Q4 earnings.

The All Local 4pm Update for Wednesday, November 26th 2025

On today’s Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down why Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation is less an isolated drama and more a warning sign that Trump’s once-tight MAGA coalition is splintering. From Speaker Mike Johnson taking cues directly from Trump to a wave of looming GOP retirements, Chuck explains why Republicans may face a bleak 2026. He also digs into Trump’s mixed economic record, his unexpected openness to extending ACA subsidies, and the widening rift between Republicans over Ukraine, where a new peace proposal appears to reflect more of Kyiv’s asks than Moscow’s. With Europe carrying most of the burden and Trump seen abroad as a lame duck, Chuck argues that MAGA may be reaching the end of its political shelf life as fractures emerge across every major wing of the coalition. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 Thanksgiving Dishes, previews a pivotal weekend in college football and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

Sports & political commentator Clay Travis joins Chuck Todd for a candid conversation that spans the worlds of politics, sports, and media. They explore the shifting boundaries between culture and athletics, the pressure of serving a politically-charged audience, and what Clay learned from stepping into Rush Limbaugh’s former timeslot. Clay discusses the importance of distinguishing fact from opinion, the challenges of modern political incentives, and how law school shaped his worldview. The two also talk about the realities of online hostility, audience expectations, and Clay’s belief that influence in media can outweigh influence in elected office. The episode also digs deep into college football: conference realignment, the CFP committee’s biases, southern schools’ growing appeal, and how cultural and political trends—from Gaza protests to regional identity—shape the sport’s landscape. Clay and Chuck debate how to fix the playoff system, what makes college football uniquely personal for fans, and which major sports league Nashville could attract next. Clay closes by sharing the presidential contenders he wishes would run in 2028 and why treating political opponents like rival sports fans could be a healthier way forward. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 Thanksgiving Dishes, previews a pivotal weekend in college football and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment.

After a nasty fall in the garden and a looming operation with added risk due to weight, sleep apnoea and breathing issues, Stephen made a decision. With a nudge from his wife, he walked into our local Slimming World group at 25st 4lb—and everything started to shift. In this chat we cover the real stuff: losing identity after giving up rugby, the stop–start attempts, the “still think fat” moments even as the clothes sizes drop, and the power of a room that claps for your wins (and your wobbles). This is a first for Slimming Stories, I met Stephen at my local Slimming World Group that Wray Annabel had inherited from Sue Redfern, both amazing Slimming World Consultants. Stephen talks about the support he's felt and why weekly accountability beat “I'll do it myself” plans. If you've tried to get back on plan before, drifted, and need a simple proof that consistency + community works. If you've ever felt “I still look the same” while everyone else notices your progress—this one's for you.

The Ashes Cricket Debate Jeremy Zakis Australia decisively won the first Ashes test by eight wickets against England in Perth. England's aggressive "Baz" batting strategy, aimed at hitting long balls, spectacularly backfired on the quick, hot pitch, resulting in the quickest English team exit in Ashes history.
