In 1949, about 2,000 people gathered near the Rapidan Dam to watch something extraordinary: a 40-ton, six-story grain elevator creep across a narrow bridge over the Blue Earth River. Decades later, one witness still remembered the spectacle — and asked Curious Minnesota: How did they possibly pull it off? Host Erica Pearson talks with reporter Jp Lawrence about the remarkable logistics behind the move, from hauling the towering wooden structure along rural roads to raising it above bridge railings and inching it up a 104-foot riverbank. They also explore what remains of that history today — and how the Rapidan landscape has dramatically changed.

What if obesity isn't simply about food? In one of the most powerful conversations I've ever had on the Optimal Metabolism podcast, I sit down with CrossFit coach, author, educator, and metabolic health advocate Athena Perez to explore the deeper roots of obesity, emotional eating, and lasting transformation. Athena's story begins long before she reached nearly 500 pounds. She shares how childhood trauma shaped her relationship with food, why lasting healing required far more than losing weight, and how addressing her emotional health became just as important as improving her physical health. We also take a fascinating deep dive into Athena's experience completing multiple 40-day fasts. She openly discusses why she chose such an extended fast, what happened to her body and mind throughout the process, how she approached refeeding afterward, and whether she believes prolonged fasting helped reset her metabolism. This episode isn't about promoting extreme fasting. It's about understanding the complex relationship between trauma, metabolism, behavior change, and healing. Whether you've struggled with weight, emotional eating, insulin resistance, or simply want to better understand the human side of obesity, I believe this conversation will stay with you long after it ends. In This Episode, We Discuss: Athena's journey from nearly 500 pounds to becoming a CrossFit coach and educator The connection between childhood trauma and lifelong struggles with obesity Why healing emotional wounds was just as important as changing nutrition habits The decision to complete a 40-day fast What happened physically, mentally, and emotionally during the fast Whether prolonged fasting can "reset" metabolism The often-overlooked importance of the refeeding process What Athena learned about true hunger versus emotional hunger Common misconceptions about obesity and larger-bodied athletes Why sustainable healing goes far beyond the number on the scale Connect with Athena Perez Website: https://www.athenamperez.com Instagram: @athenamperez Learn more about Scaled Nation Training and Athena's educational resources for coaches and healthcare professionals.

The Peter Boyles August 15, 2026 HOUR 4: Peter Boyles sits down with former Congressman Tom Tancredo for an extraordinary conversation about faith, politics and the unexpected twists that shaped his life. Tancredo tells the never-before-heard-on-radio story of how a sermon about persecuted Christians in Sudan ultimately led him into Congress, into war-torn Sudan with Senator Sam Brownback, and eventually to writing the Sudan Peace Act. He also shares remarkable stories from his political career involving Ronald Reagan, Frida Poundstone, Colorado Republicans and a furious confrontation with Karl Rove over immigration and the Bush White House. The hour closes with Tancredo taking aim at Colorado's education system, questioning claims that the state ranks No. 1 nationally and arguing that school choice and charter schools are doing more to improve education than the traditional public-school system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kent J. Williamson - American Heat Engine: Hydrocarbons and the Power of the United States - Coal. Oil. Natural gas. This is the incredible story of how hydrocarbons have energized the United States and its people. Hydrocarbons, naturally occurring combinations of mostly hydrogen and carbon atoms with almost limitless uses, are much more than simply “fossil fuels”; they are the lifeblood of modern human civilization. They are central to economic and geopolitical power, even determining the fate of nations and empires. They have played a critical role in U.S. history, and they will be no less important to its future. In American Heat Engine: Hydrocarbons and the Power of the United States, join Kent J. Williamson on an epic journey through American hydrocarbon history, weaving together the amazing pasts of coal, oil, and natural gas in America, from the country's earliest days all the way to today and beyond. You will see how a now-almost-forgotten form of coal sparked the American Industrial Revolution, witness the birth of the American oil industry and its production of everything from lamp fuel to jet fuel, and follow natural gas as it transforms from an unwanted byproduct to a fuel and feedstock so ubiquitous that there are now millions of miles of pipelines carrying it across America! You'll also discover how the United States strategically employed its hydrocarbon resources to defeat totalitarianism and help usher in a period of unprecedented global prosperity. Kent J. Williamson grew up in Littleton, Colorado, not far from Coal Mine Road. He now lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Oil Capital of the World, in a home with several natural gas-fueled appliances and a propane grill out back.

What if almost everything you've been told about happiness is wrong? Most people spend their lives trying to avoid discomfort. Jerzy Gregorek argues the opposite: the harder the choices you willingly make, the happier, stronger, and more resilient your life becomes. World Champion weightlifter, philosopher, poet, therapist, and author Jerzy Gregorek explores the mindset principles that helped him survive political persecution in Communist Poland, overcome alcoholism, fight for freedom, coach elite athletes, and transform countless lives through what he calls the Happy Body philosophy. Jerzy explains why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you earn through difficult choices. He reveals why most people sabotage their own happiness through expectations and complaint, why tiny daily improvements create extraordinary lives, and why true freedom begins the moment you take complete ownership of your choices. --- 00:00 Why Hard Choices Create an Easier Life 01:29 Recovering From Injury Starts With the Right Goal 05:22 Why Most People Never Build Real Resilience 07:02 The Stoic Philosophy of Constant Progress 08:01 Why You Need Bigger Goals 10:21 Building Confidence Through Personal Proof 13:19 The Power of Micro Progressions 15:18 The Incredible Story of Rebuilding a Life From Scratch 25:00 At 71 Years Old: Why Jerzy Still Olympic Lifts Every Day 30:03 How Poetry Became a Tool for Healing Trauma 36:18 "The Mind Makes the Body" 40:47 Viktor Frankl on Finding Meaning Through Suffering 45:20 Fighting for Freedom in Communist Poland 47:48 Helping People Recover From Addiction, PTSD & Darkness 54:54 Can You Become Your Own Hero? 56:17 The Books That Changed Jerzy's Life 58:12 Why Expectations Create Suffering 59:18 Stop Complaining, Start Taking Ownership 01:03:21 Choosing Happiness Is a Skill 01:07:22 What "Ever Forward" Really Means 01:10:47 The Value of Mentors 01:13:28 Jerzy's Daily Happy Body Practice ---- Episode resources: Timeline - get MitoPure with urolithin A for less than $75/month with code EVERFORWARD  Watch and subscribe on YouTube

3 am, addicted to drugs and hating Jesus. Not the place where you would expect to have an encounter with Jesus. But not only do you have an encounter, but a life transformation and journey that only Jesus can take you on! On this weeks show, Kurt and Chad welcome Dove Award–winning, Grammy-nominated Christian worship recording artist, songwriter, speaker, and author (and Solid Steps Radio, opening song writer and performer) Louisville based Stephen McWhirter. “But behind the music is a story of radical redemption. Growing up the son of a traveling evangelist, Stephen witnessed deep hypocrisy at home that drove him into over 11 years of drug addiction, including crystal meth. One night at 3 am, while reading The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel with drugs on the table beside him, God showed up — and everything changed. Stephen never used drugs or alcohol again.” - website: https://worshipjesus.life/about What followed was a career that includes winning awards, over 100 million streams and more importantly a simple mission: worship Jesus and lead others to Him Buy the book - Radically Restored https://store.worshipjesus.life/collections/accessories

Learn how to JournalSpeak ➡️ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tinyurl.com/2ph33u2s In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Kimberly Korn, three years after she first came to my Omega retreat thinking she was walking into a spa weekend, and instead found herself face-to-face with the inner work that would change everything. Kimberly shares the full story of what brought her there: a lifetime of symptoms that seemed disconnected on the surface, from childhood asthma and eczema to OCD, anorexia, debilitating migraines, chronic neck and back pain, severe GI issues, anxiety, unexplained swelling, and deep trauma. What she found through JournalSpeak was not another way to manage her life, but a way to finally meet the feelings she had spent decades suppressing, and to understand how her nervous system had been carrying what she was never allowed to express. This conversation is a “where are they now” that will move you deeply. Kimberly shares how, since that retreat, she has remained chronic symptom-free, no longer relies on the medications she once needed, and has rebuilt an entire life from the inside out. She returned to her music career after believing that part of her life was over, and she is now a full-time songwriter with almost 50 placements in film and television. Even more beautifully, she talks about how this work transformed her as a mother, a wife, a creative person, and a human being who is no longer living in fear. This is a story about chronic pain recovery, nervous system healing, trauma, motherhood, creativity, and what becomes possible when we stop abandoning ourselves and finally decide to live. Omg. This one got me in the heart. XOXO n. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEW SUBSTACK⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠! So excited about this one :)) Want your questions answered directly by me?

The Pittsburgh Steelers became one of the most successful and enduring franchises in sports history. But their dynasty wasn’t built the way most people think. Chuck Todd and J.A. Adande tell the Steelers history like it has never been told. It starts with a moment everyone knows—the Immaculate Reception—but the real story begins long before that. For decades, the Steelers were one of the worst-run teams in football. They ignored the draft, missed on generational talent, and lacked any clear identity. Then everything changed. At the center of it all was Chuck Noll, a coach who completely reset the organization’s philosophy. Paired with cornerstone players like Mean Joe Greene and a front office that found talent in places other teams ignored, the Steelers quietly assembled one of the greatest draft runs in sports history. This episode dives into the hidden advantages that fueled their rise—from overlooked talent pipelines to cultural cohesion inside the locker room—and why their success wasn’t just about stars, but about structure, discipline, and long-term thinking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Justin Goodman is on a mission with his organization Project 55: to educate, equip and empower the 55% of adults with mental health struggles that aren’t getting the care they need. His journey to this mission was a tumultuous one, in which he has overcome addiction, learned to manage Bipolar II, and faced the lifelong challenge of Scheuermann’s disease. Justin is now focused on helping others in crisis, having developed a deep sense of gratitude for the lessons he has learned along the way. In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, we sit down with Justin to hear the incredible story of everything he has overcome, and how it inspired the founding of Project 55. As a teenager he developed Scheuermann’s disease, a skeletal disorder characterized by uneven growth of the vertebrae, leading to a forward curvature of the spine known as kyphosis. At first it was assumed he was just having growing pains, but as his disease rapidly progressed it began to restrict every aspect of his life. By the time it was determined he was actually experiencing Scheuermann’s disease he was given two options: manage the pain with opioids, or undergo extreme surgery. He chose prescription pain management. Since this was in the time before narcotics were not closely monitored, he soon developed a dangerous dependence. If not for an intervention from his closest friends, he would not have survived. Justin now manages the pain from Scheuermann’s disease using a variety of alternative techniques, including conditioning his lower back, mobility work and staying away from inflammatory foods. He has also found relief from a manual therapy called rolfing, in which the rigid fascia around the muscles is ground down to make it malleable. Justin is an avid golfer, and although Scheuermann’s disease initially took him away from the sport, he is now able to participate again due to the success of his disease management. Justin also discusses his journey with Bipolar II, and how mental health struggles inspired him to create Project 55. As a passionate advocate for others in need, Justin has translated his own struggles into a powerful platform for change.

Before astronauts, before rockets, and decades before the space race… one man built a metal sphere, attached it to a balloon, and rode it to the edge of space. In this episode we explore the incredible story of Auguste Piccard, the Swiss physicist and explorer who pushed the limits of human exploration in two completely opposite directions: the stratosphere above Earth and the deepest trenches of the ocean. In 1931, Piccard became the first human to reach the upper stratosphere inside a pressurized gondola, witnessing the curvature of the Earth and a sky so dark it resembled space itself. But he wasn't finished. Later in life he invented the bathyscaphe, a revolutionary deep-sea vessel that would eventually allow his son to descend nearly seven miles to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. From cosmic rays and balloon flights to deep-sea exploration and the limits of human survival, Piccard's work helped shape the technology that would later lead to modern spacecraft and deep-ocean submersibles. This is the story of a man who helped humanity explore both the highest and lowest frontiers of our planet. Listen. Learn. Laugh. Question everything.
