What would you do today if you weren't afraid to fail? Fear of failure can keep us from applying for the opportunity, speaking up, starting something new, or having the difficult conversation. But failure doesn't define who you are. It's an event that can give you feedback, information, and a chance to grow. In this episode, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff explains why confident people still experience fear and how to keep that fear from making your decisions. She shares how redefining success around what you can control can take power away from failure and help you move forward with more courage. You'll also learn Cindra's Learn, Burn, Return strategy for responding when things don't go your way: learn from the experience, let go of what isn't serving you, and return to your previous level of confidence. This week, ask yourself: How am I defining failure? What does success look like if I define it by what I can control? What would I do today if I wasn't afraid to fail? Then take one action. Confidence doesn't come from knowing you'll succeed. It comes from knowing you can handle whatever happens.

Feeling creatively stuck in your current role? Join Scott and the (self-proclaimed) "heartless" Mike on this week's episode of The Selling Podcast as they dive into an unlikely masterclass on professional evolution: the life of Michelangelo.Forget everything you think you know about the Renaissance master. Mike, who admits he usually remains emotionally detached from art, shares why Michelangelo's work—specifically the gut-wrenching Pietà—finally broke through his pragmatism.This episode isn't a stuffy art history lecture. It's a high-energy discussion on why defining yourself by a single, limiting label is the fastest way to kill your sales career. Michelangelo didn't see himself as a painter; he was a sculptor, through and through. Yet, when the Pope "assigned" him the four-year, neck-breaking task of painting the Sistine Chapel, he didn't quit. He adapted. He committed. And he created one of the most defining masterpieces in human history as a "side hustle."Scott and Mike use this historical pivot to challenge salespeople everywhere. Are you limiting your potential by calling yourself "just a hunter," "a closer," or "a brochure-pusher"?In this episode, you'll discover:Why Your Title is a Trap: How self-limiting labels become self-fulfilling prophecies that stunt your professional growth.The "Sistine Chapel" Syndrome: Why you must be willing to take on assignments outside your wheelhouse to discover your true genius.Transferable Genius: How Scott went from door-to-door orthopedic sales to international consulting and financial planning by recognizing his adaptable skill set.Evolution, Not Abandonment: The crucial difference between pivoting your skillset (like a sculptor learning to paint) and making a completely random career jump (like a sculptor becoming a fly fisherman).The Long Game: How to view your career as a continual Renaissance, where your best work may not happen until the "second half."Whether you're a sales newbie or a seasoned vet feeling bored, this episode of The Selling Podcast will light a fire under your professional stagnation. Tune in to learn how to channel your inner Renaissance man and realize that, like Michelangelo, your current skillset doesn't have to define your future masterpiece.Don't take yourself too seriously, keep your eyes open for opportunities everywhere, and stop being a "stupid Raphael"—listen now!

How much of your life are you living based on what you think other people might think about you?

Think about the one line of feedback that has followed you from job to job. New manager, new company, same sentence. It keeps coming back because it is not describing a weakness. It is describing your best trait, seen from the other side.Jessica and Brian look at the calm-week version of a strength: not what it does in a crisis, but what it quietly does every ordinary day. A strength works on you in three ways. It decides what you notice, it decides what you get thanked for, and it decides which skills you never had to learn.You will hear two stories from one team, a careful colleague facing a half-written brief and an easy-going one who never says no, and why neither of them was wrong. Jessica owns up to running a meeting where everyone felt heard and nothing was decided.In this episode• 0:00 The thing you are best at decides what you never see • 0:20 The spotlight, the applause and the shortcut • 3:04 Two stories from one team • 5:17 Where does your light point?The three quiet ways a strength works on youThe spotlight is what your strength makes you notice. Quick people notice delay. Careful people notice the mistake nobody else saw. People who read the room notice who went quiet. Everything outside that light goes dark, and it is not carelessness. It is where the light points.The applause is what you get thanked for. Fix it fast, catch the error, smooth the tension, and people say thanks, so you reach for the same tool again. Nobody asks you to stop doing the thing you are best at, so nobody tells you when it starts costing the team something.The shortcut is the skill your strength let you skip. The confident talker never had to prepare. The organised one never had to improvise. The easy one never had to say no. It costs nothing for years, until one role needs exactly that skill.Try this this week1. Before any decision that matters, ask: what would I miss? Then ask the one colleague whose strength points somewhere else. 2. Once, in something low stakes, practise the skill you skipped. Prepare the talk you would normally wing. Say no to one favour. Send the rough version first. 3. Ask one colleague: what do I do that you have to work around? Then just listen.Go deeperWhich way your light points follows a pattern.

This week I'm joined by Leanne Keane, personal trainer, online coach and breathwork facilitator, for a conversation that goes way deeper than the usual health chat.Leanne lost 40kg by starting with the basics, but her real turning point came when she saw that lasting change for the women she coached rarely came down to food or training. It came down to their mental and emotional health.We cover polyvagal theory and how a dysregulated nervous system can quietly block your goals, emotional eating, alcohol as numbing (hello, Irish drinking culture), shadow work, and living by your values instead of comparison. Leanne also explains up- vs down-regulating breathwork, what trauma release can look like in a session, and why safety has to come first.If you're doing "all the right things" and still feel stuck, this one's for you.Timestamps: 00:00 – Welcome and Guest Intro 00:21 – Why This Conversation Matters 02:35 – Leanne's Weight Loss Journey 05:24 – From PT to Online Coach 06:41 – Discovering Breathwork 08:11 – Polyvagal Theory Explained 12:07 – Why Diets Don't Stick 14:30 – Trauma Bottle Analogy 17:48 – Childhood Emotions and Repression 20:54 – Numbing With Food and Alcohol 23:32 – Ireland's Drinking Culture 27:38 – Spark, Flow, and Connection 28:50 – Shadow Work and Authenticity 31:45 – Breathwork Training Deep Dive 34:46 – Finding Your Spark 35:59 – Drop the Shoulds 36:28 – Values Over Comparison 37:59 – Real Success Within 39:45 – Breathwork Basics 40:49 – Down Regulating Tools 42:06 – Activating Deep Release 44:04 – Trauma Responses Explained 48:24 – Safety And Baby Steps 55:17 – Breathwork For Digestion 58:19 – Hormones And Fat Loss 01:02:05 – Defining True Health 01:04:27 – Wrap Up And ResourcesLinks & Resources: Instagram - Leanne Keane Coaching here Apply for LeadHer business mentorship here Apply for NourisHer health & fitness coaching here Subscribe to my weekly coaching newsletter here Access my FREE calorie calculator here Connect with my Kate Hamilton Business Instagram here Connect with Kate Hamilton Business Facebook here Connect with my Kate Hamilton Health Instagram here Connect with Kate Hamilton Health Facebook here Connect with me on TikTok here Connect with me on YouTube hereIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends who might benefit.Music b LiQWYD Free download: hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb [http://hypeddit.com/link/xxtopb] Promoted by FreeMusicPromo [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbycji-eySnM3WD8mbxPUSQ] / @freemusicpromo

What thoughts have you repeated so many times that you've stopped questioning whether they're actually true? Some thoughts can sound so reasonable and factual that we barely notice them, yet they can quietly shape how we feel, what we do, and what we believe is possible for us.       In this episode, I'm taking on some of the automatic thoughts I hear most often from my clients and exposing the assumptions underneath them. From believing you're behind or not doing enough to questioning whether you're ready, I'm showing you why these seemingly factual thoughts deserve a closer look and what can happen when you stop automatically believing them.       Listen in to learn how to spot the thoughts that may be holding you back and bring them into the light. You'll discover how to interrogate the stories your brain offers you, recognise when perfectionism and self-worth are shaping your thinking, and decide which thoughts you actually want to keep.                                                                  Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/298                   Join us in the Powerful membership, or join the waitlist: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster Escaping the Survival Paradigm to Heal Hidden Beliefs with Vincent Genna Ken D. Foster talks with psychotherapist, medium and author Vincent Genna about why applied knowledge, not more information, is the key to escaping a survival paradigm, and how hidden childhood beliefs, brain defense mechanisms and a stronger inner voice can move listeners from merely surviving toward genuine self-realization. A Show Built Around Getting Stuck Ken D. Foster opens Voices of Courage with a short preview of the conversation to come, then rolls the show's theme music before returning to formally welcome listeners. He asks whether they have ever done everything they're "supposed to do"—read the books, attended the seminars, worked with coaches, meditated, prayed, journaled—yet still find life harder than it should be, still repeating old patterns and lacking the fulfillment they want. Foster tells his audience the problem is not that they haven't done enough or that they are broken, but that something may still be operating beneath their awareness, keeping them in a paradigm of surviving rather than thriving. He explains that surviving, in this sense, is not about sensing danger but a quiet mindset shaping how people think, act and show up in the world. He introduces the show's goal of moving past fear-based thinking toward clarity and self-awareness before welcoming his guest, Vincent Genna. Introducing Vincent Genna Foster formally introduces Vincent Genna as an MSW, internationally acclaimed psychic therapist, medium, master spiritual teacher, human potential specialist and best-selling author of "The Secret That's Holding You Back." He notes Genna has spent more than four decades bridging psychology, neuroscience and spirituality to help people heal deeply rooted patterns. Genna jokes that hearing "four decades" reminds him how old he is, calling himself "antique." Foster responds that wisdom, not information, is what people actually lack today, since anyone can Google facts but wisdom takes maturity to earn. Genna agrees, explaining that information only becomes wisdom once it is applied and proven to work, and that many people have read the books and attended the seminars Foster describes without ever converting that knowledge into lasting change. He adds that survival does not have to look grim or embattled; it can look pleasant and successful on the surface while someone is still, underneath, only surviving rather than thriving. Applied Knowledge Versus Information Overload Foster and Genna turn to what happens when information outpaces application. Foster describes his twelve grandchildren, calling them brilliant enough to discuss physics or world history, yet baffled by simple physical tasks like assembling furniture or fixing a lock, which he frames not as criticism but as evidence of unapplied knowledge. Genna agrees, citing an unnamed source he heard describing how constant technology use is slowing children's practical intellect because devices now do their thinking for them, joking that a child asked to water the lawn will ask Siri how. He argues the same gap affects adults who have built families and careers yet still feel something is missing, offering his own barometer: wherever a person's life is not where they want it to be reveals hidden, unrecognized beliefs beneath their psyche. Genna signals that untangling this requires moving into spirituality and metaphysics, and specifically into the subject of manifesting, which the conversation takes up next. Spirituality, the Field, and Four Levels of Belief The two men frame spirituality as distinct from religion, which Genna calls "man's way of interpreting spirituality," while spirituality itself covers a person's relationship to a higher intelligence, to other people and to the planet. Foster credits mentor Dr. Ervin László with the idea that "the field is not outside of you, you are the field," arguing that once people grasp that connection, changing themselves becomes the way to change the world rather than chasing outward causes. Genna lays out four progressive attitudes people cycle through across incarnations: the victimized "to-me" stage, where hardship feels like punishment; the "for-me" stage, illustrated by people who found meaning in the pandemic lockdown; the "through-me" stage of healers who see themselves as a conduit; and the final "as-me" stage, in which a person recognizes themselves as co-creator of everything, comparing it to a holographic slice of an apple that still contains the whole apple. Defense Mechanisms and the Personification Meditation Genna pushes back gently on the idea of simply letting go of the past, telling Foster it is "easier to cut your arm off" than to discard one's history, and that the real work is reframing it. He explains that the brain's two highest functions are keeping a person alive and protecting them, which means painful childhood messages about not being good enough get repressed by what he calls the "adult-made mind" shielding the wounded "environment-made mind" beneath it, comparing surface-level affirmations to pretty pictures pasted over a whiteboard of unresolved pain. Genna credits John Bradshaw's inner-child work as a forerunner of this approach and describes his own Personification Meditation, an exercise from his book in which a person sits in isolation and holds a conversation with "little you" to surface buried beliefs. Foster connects this to his own practice of stillness and isolation, adding that real change is not a one-time event but ongoing work requiring a guide to keep uncovering deeper layers. Finding a Teacher and Trusting an Inner Voice As the hour closes, Foster and Genna discuss how to choose a spiritual guide amid an overwhelming field of speakers and competing claims. Genna advises listeners to be discerning, comparing the spread of spiritual theories to the many competing schools of medicine, and reminds Foster that "knowledge doesn't become wisdom until it works" for the individual applying it. Foster adds that the right teacher points a person back to their own inner realization rather than dictating answers, and that a credible guide should be someone visibly living the principles they teach. Genna quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson's call to "honor your inner voice" and Einstein's line that a problem cannot be solved with the belief system that created it, urging listeners to apply new beliefs the way they would try a new medication until something works. Foster closes by directing listeners to Genna's book, "The Secret That's Holding You Back," on Amazon, thanking him warmly before signing off with the show's closing line about seeing the unseeable and doing the impossible.

What if some of the beliefs shaping your life aren't actually yours? For nearly 20 years, Dr. Mike Fortunato worked as a board-certified anesthesiologist. From the outside, he had what many people would consider success: a respected career, financial stability, a wife, children, and a beautiful life. But underneath it all, Mike was struggling with depression, alcohol, anger, emotional disconnection, and a growing sense that something was missing. In this episode, Mike joins Chuck to unpack what happened when he finally started looking beneath the surface. He shares how medicine taught him to push emotions aside, how negative self-talk contributed to one of the darkest periods of his life, and the simple practice that helped him begin changing the way he thought about himself. Together, Chuck and Mike explore the beliefs we inherit, the patterns that keep repeating until we're willing to face them, and why healing sometimes begins by questioning the story we've been telling ourselves for years. Because success on the outside means very little if we never find peace on the inside. Guest Bio Dr. Mike Fortunato spent nearly two decades in conventional medicine, ultimately working as a board-certified anesthesiologist trusted with life-or-death decisions every day. But behind the successful career, his own physical and emotional health was quietly unraveling. After experiencing chronic pain, shingles, a severe ulcer, hormonal issues, and a growing sense of disconnection from himself, Mike began looking beyond what conventional testing was telling him. Restoring his physical health was an important step, but he discovered that feeling better physically didn't address the deeper emotional patterns, beliefs, and unresolved issues he was carrying. Today, Dr. Mike works with men and women at the intersection of biology, emotional health, identity, and overall well-being, helping people reconnect with themselves when they no longer feel like the person they once were. You'll hear About Why external success didn't give Mike the fulfillment he expected How emotional suppression and alcohol became ways of coping with what he wasn't facing The repeating patterns and inherited beliefs that can quietly shape our lives How changing his daily self-talk helped Mike begin climbing out of depression Why vulnerability, self-forgiveness, and facing what we've avoided can create a different kind of peace Chapters 00:00 Behind the Appearance of Success 05:30 Why Achievement Was Never Enough 09:30 Depression, Alcohol, and the Patterns We Carry 14:00 Why We Avoid the Things We Need to Face 16:30 The Power of Self-Talk and Changing the Mental Pattern 20:30 Mike's Journey Into Medicine and Emotional Suppression 25:30 Taking Back Ownership of His Mindset 31:00 Beliefs, Perspective, and the Power We Give Away 37:30 Vulnerability, Surrender, and Finding Peace 39:30 What Mike's Life and Work Look Like Today 44:30 Self-Forgiveness and Letting Go of What No Longer Serves You 48:15 What Mike Would Say to Someone Who Is Ready to Give Up 51:15 Chuck's Challenge Chuck's Challenge This week, Chuck is challenging himself to identify one theme that keeps showing up in his life and lift the hood on it. What pattern keeps repeating for you? Instead of judging yourself or pushing it away, get curious. Where did it come from? Is the belief underneath it actually yours? Is it still serving you? Pick one recurring theme and take one intentional step toward understanding it more deeply. As Chuck says at the end of this episode, one small step, one intentional decision, or one courageous action can change the direction of your life.

Have you ever had someone review your pull request, make changes without telling you, and just merge it in?In the latest episode of the No Compromises podcast, we discuss whether the traditional code review workflow still makes sense in a world where AI tooling lets developers move faster than ever.Aaron shares two real situations where a reviewer fixed and merged code without discussion, and we dig into why the lack of communication is the real problem, not the act of fixing things itself.We also get into commit strategies, how friction in reviewing someone else's changes kills the learning, and why well-worn workflows deserve a fresh look when the tools around them have changed.(00:00) - When a reviewer merges your PR without asking (03:31) - How we handled it differently with time pressure (05:43) - Should the reviewer just fix it and merge?

It's never too late to change your life.But here's the hard part: you have to decide to change.In this powerful solo episode of The Van Deeb Podcast, Van Deeb delivers a passionate message about personal responsibility, self-improvement, and the ability every person has to change the direction of their life.Van challenges listeners to stop waiting for someone else to fix their circumstances and take an honest look at the choices they're making—the people they're surrounding themselves with, their careers, their relationships, their habits, and the way they're treating themselves and others.He also shares his own experiences and explains why he believes the things that go right in our lives—and even many of the things that go wrong—are connected to the decisions we make.But this isn't a message about guilt.It's a message about agency.Because if you played a role in where you are today, you can also play a role in getting somewhere better.Van's challenge is simple:Pick one thing you know you need to change. Start there. Then do it again.As Van puts it, “You don't have to be great to get started. You just have to get started to be great.”If you're unhappy with where you are right now, this episode is your reminder that your story isn't finished.It's not too late.

Isaiah 43 holds a question worth sitting with: God tells His people He is doing something new and then asks, "Do you not see it?" Sometimes we do not see it because we are still looking backward. Past disappointment makes us afraid to hope again. Failure makes us hesitant to try again. Rejection convinces us we are not qualified. And fear keeps us frozen, waiting to feel confident enough, healed enough, or certain enough before we move. But God does not say the pathway will appear only after we have resolved every fear. He says He will make the pathway through the wilderness Himself. Our responsibility is simply to trust the One who does. Some of the most significant steps of faith do not happen because the fear disappears — they happen when trusting God becomes more important than obeying the fear. Whatever you have been carrying that God never asked you to keep carrying, today is an invitation to surrender it and take the next faithful step forward. Today's Bible Verse "I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness, I will create rivers in the dry wasteland."— Isaiah 43:19, NLT Ponder Today We often miss what God is doing because we are still looking backward. Past disappointment, failure, and rejection have a way of holding our gaze behind us while God is already moving ahead. Refusing to let the past determine what God is capable of doing next is an act of faith. Overcoming fear does not mean waiting until it disappears. The most significant steps of faith rarely happen because we stopped being afraid. They happen when we decide that trusting God matters more than obeying the fear that is telling us to stay put. God makes the pathway — our job is to trust the One who does. We do not need to see the entire road before taking the next faithful step. We do not need every question answered. We simply need enough faith to follow God into the next one. Ask God to show you what you have been carrying that He never asked you to keep. Fear, disappointment, the need for control, comparison, a past version of ourselves we cannot let go of — He can redeem what happened behind you and restore hope where disappointment has taken root. God is already ahead of you, preparing the way. Isaiah 43 does not say He will begin when you are ready. He says He has already begun. The new thing is already in motion. The question is whether we will step forward to meet it. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, You know exactly what has been holding me back, even the things I have struggled to admit to myself. You see every fear, insecurity, disappointment, wound, and doubt I have carried. Reveal anything in me that I need to release and surrender to You. If I am holding onto fear, replace it with faith. If I am holding onto disappointment, restore my hope. If I am comparing my life to someone else's, remind me that You have written a story specifically for me. And if I am clinging to control, teach me to trust You with what I cannot see. When the road ahead feels like a wilderness, remind me that You are the One who makes the pathway. Today I surrender what has been holding me back. Give me the courage to move forward and help me trust that You are already ahead of me, preparing the way. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More?

Have you ever noticed how differently your life feels when your identity is tied to your work instead of to God? Candace opens Season 18 with her friend Annie F. Downs, best-selling author and host of the podcast That Sounds Fun, talking through her new book, Don't Let That Hold You Back. Annie shares the story behind her first book, the string of rejections that led her to step away from writing for two years, and what she learned about separating her identity from her career. She and Candace walk through the difference between what has been stolen, killed, and destroyed in a person's life, a distinction Annie draws from the writer of John's account of the thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. They talk honestly about fear, including the whispers of fear neither of them has ever fully outrun. Candace also opens up about a business meltdown and the call she made to Annie in the middle of it. The episode closes with two listener questions: how to stop being afraid of hearing God's voice, and what each of them would do differently if they could go back. You can find a free quiz from Annie's book at candace.com, where you can also sign up for email and text updates and ask questions for future episodes.

Episode 8 - Are Your Friends Holding You Back? The 5 People Who Shape Your Life (The Life Adventure Course) Are your friends and family helping you create the life you want, or quietly keeping you exactly where you are? This episode explores how the people around you influence your behaviour, ambition and willingness to take action. You may have heard the idea that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. It isn't meant to be literal mathematics, but it is a powerful way of looking at your environment. What do the people closest to you make normal? Do they actually work to change their lives, or do they spend most of their time talking about what they are going to do and moaning when nothing changes? David looks at the difference between people who genuinely encourage growth and people whose habits, fears and expectations can gradually become your own. This isn't about labelling friends or family as negative people or simply cutting everyone out of your life. It's about becoming more aware of influence and asking whether the people you regularly listen to are living anything like the life you want to build. If you're wondering are my friends holding me back, this episode gives you a different question to consider: are these people actually living the sort of life I want to live? From business and money to health, adventure and everyday choices, your environment can make certain behaviours feel completely normal. David also turns the question back on the listener: how often do the people around you see you taking action? Your circle doesn't have to stay the same forever. Sometimes the answer isn't removing people, but expanding your environment, meeting different people and deliberately exposing yourself to new possibilities.

Sometimes the person you thought you were—and the life you thought you were building—no longer exists.So what do you do next?On this episode of The Raw Vibe Podcast, I sit down with Chanda Coston, U.S. Navy veteran, business strategist, published author, mother of five, grandmother, and self-described “professional pivoter.”Chanda has lived through military service, entrepreneurship, career transitions, four divorces, grief, retirement at 50, and multiple seasons of rebuilding. Her experiences have given her a unique perspective on something many people struggle with:How do you stop simply surviving your life and start intentionally creating it?Our conversation goes far beyond motivation.We explore the hidden ways survival skills can become self-sabotaging patterns, why highly capable people often feel compelled to carry everything themselves, and why being needed can sometimes become tied to our sense of self-worth.We also get into the difficult questions:

Is Social Anxiety Holding You Back? Ted in Your Head Podcast - Episode 516 Have you ever walked into a room full of people and immediately thought… What am I supposed to say? Are they judging me? Do I look nervous? If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In this episode of Ted in Your Head, Certified Hypnotherapist Ted Moreno gets personal about social anxiety, sharing the story of his own first—and very uncomfortable—business networking mixer. He also explores what social anxiety really is, why it can feel like a full-body experience, and how the fear of being judged can quietly hold you back from relationships, opportunities, career success, and simply enjoying yourself around other people. You'll also learn the difference between being an introvert and experiencing social anxiety, along with 8 practical strategies you can use to become more comfortable in social situations—from preparing conversation starters and asking questions to mental rehearsal and challenging negative self-talk. Most importantly, Ted explains how hypnotherapy can help change the subconscious patterns that keep social anxiety going. Because social anxiety isn't a character flaw. And you don't have to become the life of the party. The goal is something much simpler: To have the freedom to choose whether you engage with the world instead of feeling like you have to hide from it.

What if some of the most popular advice from today's gurus is actually keeping you from making more money, getting more done, and enjoying your life? In this no-holds-barred episode, Craig Ballantyne challenges seven common success clichés—from “get 1% better every day” to the infamous 5 AM Club—and explains why blindly following them can leave you busy without actually moving forward. You'll discover why working harder isn't always the answer, how to find your own peak productivity hours, and why better systems, leverage, and the right people can outperform endless hustle.

At what point is it a distraction from the things you should ACTUALLY be doing?In this week's episode, we broke down why reset culture is so prevalent from a psychological perspective, why resetting your life over and over isn't as beneficial as you think, and what to do instead.We're not saying you should never reset your life, but there IS a way to use resets strategically and NOT as a mechanism for distraction.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/8269471100Most runners aren't training too hard. They're spreading the hard work too thin.Marius Bakken has spent thirty years proving it. The Norwegian physician and two-time Olympian pricked his finger more than 5,500 times—on himself, on training partners, on runners in Kenya—to map one narrow band of intensity, and the framework he built from it is what the world now calls the Norwegian Method. This conversation is the compressed version of his new book, The Norwegian Method Applied, out now on Amazon with a link in the show notes.We start where everyone should: defining threshold, and why the 4.0 mmol/L figure you were taught is the wrong anchor. Marius explains how to find your own zone without a meter by triangulating heart rate, pace, and the talk test, then walks through a full Norwegian Method week from Sunday to Saturday. Two double-threshold days, one genuinely hard session, easy running held strictly under 70 percent of max heart rate. The logic behind stacking two threshold sessions into one day rather than scattering them across the week is the whole argument in miniature.Then the part most people skip when they copy the method: the muscular case. Marius argues that muscles, not the heart and lungs, cap how much training a runner can absorb, and that muscle tone is why some days feel effortless and others don't. He gets into why carbon-plated shoes are the first thing he checks when an injured runner walks into his clinic, where strength work belongs in the week, how he'd build a national-championship high school program, and where this method stops working.His three takeaways, unedited: run easy on the easy days, control intensity on the hard days, limit intense work to once a week. Then see what happens.Tap into the Marius Bakken Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Ever caught yourself thinking, “My dog just isn't fast enough,” “We've made too many mistakes,” or “We'll never be as good as that team”?In this episode, Kert and Jess sit down for an honest conversation about the agility myths that can quietly get in the way of enjoying training and making progress. They talk about the pressure to do more reps, go faster, avoid mistakes, and have a naturally talented dog—and why none of those ideas tell the full story.You'll hear why speed is about more than simply rushing through training, why older dogs can still make brilliant improvements, and how a mistake can become useful information rather than something to panic about. Kert and Jess also share why the best handlers aren't the ones who never get it wrong—they're the ones who can recover quickly, stay connected to their dog, and keep moving forward.Whether you're training a young dog, running an older partner, chasing competition goals, or simply wanting to enjoy agility more, this episode is a reminder to question the stories you've been told—and the ones you might be telling yourself.

Send us Fan MailWhen should a nonprofit change its accounting partner?  Accurate books matter. Timely financial statements matter. But there's an important distinction: “Timely and accurate financial reports… [are] a great starting point, but it's not the finish line.”!Andrew Miller, Director at Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC), explains the warning signs that indicate your finance relationship may no longer be giving leadership the insight, collaboration, and strategic support the organization needs.  A strong nonprofit accounting partner should help leaders understand what the numbers mean and how those numbers affect programs, grants, sustainability, staffing, and future decisions. That means finance cannot operate as an isolated function.Andrew puts it simply: “Outsourced shouldn't mean out of touch!”He identifies several signals that deserve attention: duplicate work between departments, unclear responsibilities, information gaps, reports that never reach program or development teams, and accounting providers who understand general accounting but lack nonprofit or subsector expertise.That specialization becomes increasingly important as organizations grow. New programs, more complex grants, government reimbursement contracts, cost allocation, donor restrictions, functional expense reporting, audits, and compliance can quickly push a finance operation beyond basic month-end accounting.Technology is changing expectations as well. Better system connections, automation, and AI can create efficiencies but the real payoff should be more capacity for analysis and CFO-level thinking, not simply faster bookkeeping.Andrew also cautions leaders against making an impulsive switch. Look for a pattern. Determine whether the accounting relationship is consistently failing to meet the organization's evolving needs. And if a change is warranted, the transition can be structured, collaborative, and well documented.The larger message: the accounting model that helped your nonprofit reach its current stage may not be the one capable of taking it to the next.Key Takeaways:Timely, accurate financial statements are a baseline—not the full value of a finance relationship.Finance partners should translate numbers into decisions about programs, grants, sustainability, and growth.Duplicate work and information gaps can reveal a finance function that is disconnected from operations.Nonprofit and subsector accounting expertise becomes increasingly important as financial complexity grows.Technology should create more capacity for strategic CFO-level thinking.Change accounting partners based on a sustained pattern of unmet needs, not one frustrating incident.00:00:00 The Accounting Partner Conversation00:02:09 Is It Time to Change Accounting Partners?00:03:03 Accurate Reports Aren't the Finish Line00:04:25 Turning Financial Numbers Into Decisions00:05:28 Technology, AI and the Changing Finance Profession00:07:39 When an Outside Accounting Partner Feels Disconnected00:09:21 Why Finance Must Work Across Departments00:10:38 A Real-World Lesson in Financial Controls00:13:06 Why Nonprofit Accounting Expertise Matters00:17:58 When Growth Outpaces Your Accounting Model00:21:35 How to Know It's Really Time to Change#NonprofitFinance #NonprofitAccounting #TheNonprofitShowFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

What if the way you've structured your business to save taxes or protect your assets today is actually making it harder to get funded, grow, or build wealth tomorrow?  As business owners we may find ourselves thinking about about entity structure, taxes, business credit, funding, and asset protection as separate decisions. The reality is that these pieces are deeply connected—and the decisions we make early on can either create opportunities for us later or limit them.  Today we're going to talk about how to build a business structure that not only protects what we're building, but also supports growth, improves our ability to access capital, and helps turn our business success into lasting wealth.  Joining us is Tom Nagar, founder of U.S. Corporate Solutions. With more than two decades of experience helping entrepreneurs structure, grow, and protect their businesses, Tom has guided business owners and investors across the country through the complexities of entity structure, business credit, tax strategy, and asset protection.  During the show we discuss: Why your business structure matters before you start generating revenue. How to choose the right entity structure for your goals. Why an LLC and an S-corp or C-corp are not separate entity types. How LLCs can be taxed in different ways. How to evaluate whether your current entity is structured correctly. Why your business goals should influence your tax election. How to think about asset protection and privacy when choosing a state. Why business structure should be reviewed as your circumstances change. Resources: https://uscorpsolutions.com/

What if you could stop believing every thought your brain gives you?   In this Turquoise Talk episode, Martine Cohen and I discuss what happens when we learn to separate ourselves from our thoughts, emotions, fear, and old patterns.   Martine shares the powerful story of how a life-changing accident forced her to look inward and ultimately led her to discover a new way of understanding the brain, self-trust, and personal transformation.   We talk about perfectionism, mom guilt, fear, entrepreneurship, self-care, and how turning fear into curiosity can help you move forward without constantly fighting yourself.   You'll walk away with practical ways to question your thoughts, create more emotional safety, and let your brain be your assistant rather than your decision-maker. If you're ready to trust yourself more and create a life that feels more aligned, I think this conversation will give you a lot to think about.   Connect with Martine Website: https://martinecohen.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martinecohen_   

What lies have you unknowingly agreed with? Maybe you've believed that you aren't worthy, you're failing, nothing will ever change, or your struggles have disqualified you from God's purpose. But those thoughts do not reflect what God says about you. In Episode 75 of the Legendary Faith Podcast, Alisa Massey challenges you to recognize the voices shaping your thoughts and stop agreeing with the lies holding you back. The enemy wants to steal your peace, distort your identity, and prevent you from walking confidently in your God-given purpose. God's Word tells a different story: you are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared for you in advance. In this episode, you'll discover: • How to recognize the lies you may be agreeing with • Why every thought should not automatically be accepted as truth • How the enemy uses shame, fear, defeat, and distraction • What God's Word says about your identity and purpose • Why renewing your mind requires intentional daily practice • How prayer, Scripture, and the Holy Spirit help you fight back • Why your struggles can become part of a powerful testimony You are not doomed, hopeless, forgotten, or without purpose. It's time to stop agreeing with the thoughts that keep you defeated and begin agreeing with what God says about you. You are loved. You are God's workmanship. Your life has purpose—and your struggles do not get the final word. "​​For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." — Ephesians 2:10 If this episode encourages you, share it with someone who needs this reminder and subscribe to the Legendary Faith Podcast.

Protein Isn't Optional… It's Required“The Most Important Nutrient You're Probably Undereating (And Why It's Holding You Back)”Protein, protein, protein…You hear it everywhere.But here's the problem…Most people have no idea why it matters on a metabolic level.They just know they're “supposed” to eat more of it.And when you don't understand the why…You don't follow through consistently.That changes today.This episode breaks down what protein actually does inside your body…And why not getting enough is quietly sabotaging your energy, your metabolism, your recovery, and your results.This isn't about eating more chicken.This is about understanding how your body works… so you can finally start working with it instead of against it.Protein is not just another macronutrient.It's the raw material your body uses to build and repair:Muscle tissueHormonesEnzymesNeurotransmittersImmune functionNo protein… no optimal function.When protein intake is where it needs to be:You preserve and build lean muscleYour metabolism stays higherBlood sugar stabilizesCravings decreaseYou stay fuller longerRecovery improvesBrain function and mood improveThis is why people who prioritize protein tend to feel better, look better, and perform better.When protein is low:You lose muscle instead of preserving itYour metabolism slows downHunger and cravings increaseEnergy becomes inconsistentFat loss stallsRecovery suffersYour body becomes under-suppliedYou can be “eating less” and still getting worse results.That's the trap.Protein tells your body:Hold onto muscle. Burn fat. Stay strong.Low protein tells your body:Break down muscle. Conserve energy. Slow things down.That's not opinion.That's physiology.A simple, effective starting point:Aim for about your body weight in grams of protein per day.If that feels like a big jump…Start where you are and build up.Progress over perfection.This is where most people fail.Not knowledge… execution.Simple rules:Build every meal around proteinDon't wait until dinner to “catch up”Plan your protein ahead of timeUse shakes or supplements if neededIf you don't plan it… you won't hit it.The person who gets results…Doesn't guess with protein.They prioritize it.They don't “try” to hit their number.They make it non-negotiable.Protein isn't a trend.It's a requirement.If you want energy, fat loss, strength, recovery, and a metabolism that works for you…This is one of the simplest and most powerful shifts you can make.Set your daily protein target.Start building your meals around it.And prove to yourself that you're not the person who leaves results up to chance anymore.If this episode helped you…Share it with someone who's been “trying everything” but still not seeing results.Because this might be the piece they're missing.And remember:You don't get healthy because you lost weight.You lose weight because you got healthy.

There was a season where I was saying yes to everything, building momentum for my book Wintality, showing up everywhere, and burning myself completely out. I had to do something I call killing Superman, not literally, but retiring the people-pleaser, the fear-of-missing-out version of myself that was destroying my future while trying to help everyone else's. In this episode, I walk through exactly how identifying your personal kryptonite is the first move toward operating at the level you are actually capable of. The lesson is uncomfortable, but if you go down, everyone depending on you goes down too. Key Takeaways Saying yes to everything feels productive but is one of the fastest ways to deplete yourself and derail your own dreams. Everyone has a kryptonite. You must define yours specifically before you can consciously fight it. The higher you go in life, the more powerful your nos become. Strategic nos create space to find the yes that is actually for you. Putting yourself last while helping everyone else is a form of self-hypocrisy that has to be called out and corrected. You do not have to master this overnight. Keeping your kryptonite on the forefront of your mind and pausing before reacting is how progress starts. Action Steps Write down the one pattern or word that consistently derails your focus and energy. Name your kryptonite specifically so you can recognize it in real time. Block time on your calendar this week for yourself with the same commitment you give to client meetings or social obligations. The next time you are about to say yes to a request, pause for 24 hours before responding. Let it breathe before you commit. Notable Quote The more things you say no to, the more time you have to evaluate opportunities and find the yes that is actually for you.

You can be inches from the life you want—and still find a way to pull yourself backward. AJ and Johnny sit down with clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Judy Ho to uncover why self-sabotage appears in careers, health goals, relationships, and everyday habits. They explore the hidden fears, beliefs, and cognitive distortions that make change feel threatening, including black-and-white thinking, catastrophizing, comparison, low self-concept, and the excessive need for control. You'll learn how to recognize your triggers, question the stories your mind creates, separate thoughts from facts, and replace destructive patterns with practical “if-then” plans. Judy also explains why willpower alone isn't enough—and how aligning your goals with your values can create motivation that lasts when discipline fades.

Have you ever sensed God leading you toward something, only to immediately feel unqualified, afraid, or unsure? Maybe you've wondered, Who am I to do what God is asking?In this encouraging conversation, Becky Murray joins Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson to explore the story of Moses in Exodus 3-4 and the excuses that often keep us from stepping into God's calling.
