Q&A Episode - Intensity? Platform? Injury? | Starting Strength Radio #345 by Mark Rippetoe

In this episode, we talk about whether consistency or intensity is more important for you as a leader.

Send a textWhat if your next breakthrough isn't a giant leap, but a mile before sunrise and one honest conversation about money and fear? We sit down with Vanessa, a San Antonio agent who turned a decade in multifamily into a resilient, people-first real estate business—and a healthier life along the way. From a childhood marked by financial hardship to a career reset after a team non-compete, her story shows how small, daily actions compound into real change.We unpack how she rebuilt her book of business through rentals, tireless follow-up, and showing gigs, then scaled with better systems and high-trust buyer consults. Vanessa explains why waiting for interest rates to drop can backfire when competition returns, how to read total payment (not just principal and interest), and why local market expertise beats national hot takes. You'll hear how she keeps first-time buyers calm with clear steps, right-sized education, and the emotional intelligence to mirror their pace and goals.Beyond transactions, we explore the habits that fuel performance. Vanessa quit alcohol, embraced consistent movement, and used that discipline to show up more clearly on camera and with clients. Authentic social media—sharing fitness wins, setbacks, and lessons—helped her build a community that refers and returns. She and her husband are now planning to keep their current home as a rental and buy again, building long-term wealth one decision at a time.If you want a practical, human playbook for buying a home in a noisy market—or growing a real estate business without losing yourself—this conversation delivers. You'll walk away with better questions to ask, smarter ways to think about timing and financing, and a reminder that identity changes before outcomes.

Do your workouts actually need to leave you exhausted to be effective? In this episode, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness world: the idea that harder always equals better. We dive into how smart programming, appropriate intensity, and well-designed training challenges can drive real results without burning you out. We also discuss how fitness challenges should be structured to promote consistency, not punishment—and why sustainable habits matter far more than occasional extreme effort. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to train smarter long-term, understanding how to balance effort, recovery, and progression is key. Throughout the conversation, we share practical insights on training intensity, building programs that actually work, and creating a lifestyle that supports health, performance, and longevity at any stage of life. Because the goal isn't to survive your workouts. The goal is to build a system you can stick with for years. Tune in to learn how to train smarter, stay consistent, and make fitness a sustainable part of your life.

How important is exercise intensity in reducing your risk of chronic disease? Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down the real science behind intensity, longevity, and disease risk using data from over 73,000 adults tracked for eight years. They discuss why higher intensity training may deliver outsized returns for heart health, metabolic function, and overall mortality risk. Tune in for a deeper, research-driven look at intensity and longevity. Dr. Fisher breaks down a research article about vigorous versus moderate or light cardiovascular activity. The conversation sets the stage for a deeper look at whether intensity changes long-term health outcomes. Dr. Fisher covers what the researchers did. They analyzed fitness tracker data from tens of thousands of individuals and followed them for eight years. Then they examined mortality, cardiovascular disease risk, and other comorbidities to see how exercise intensity related to long-term outcomes. Dr. Fisher explains how we equate exercise intensity using METs, where one MET equals the energy you burn sitting quietly.  According to the research findings, one minute of vigorous activity may equal anywhere from 53 to 156 minutes of light activity, depending on the outcome measured. Dr. Fisher explains how this challenges older thinking. Historically, one minute of vigorous activity was considered equal to about two minutes of moderate activity. This research suggests the gap may be much wider, strengthening the case for adding higher-intensity work or strength training that builds muscle and raises resting metabolic rate. Amy and Dr. Fisher cover the question marks in the research paper. Participants wore trackers for three to seven days per week over eight years. We have no insight into changes in exercise habits, illness, nutrition, sleep, substance use, or socioeconomic factors during that time. Dr. Fisher explains a key limitation of fitness trackers. If you hike uphill with a heavy backpack, the device mainly detects wrist movement, not load or incline. That means muscular effort and true intensity can be underestimated, especially during resistance-based or loaded activities. Amy shares why working with a personal trainer can change how you think about intensity. She reveals that not all movement is equal, and a skilled coach can help you focus on vigorous training instead of just exercising longer. Amy asks the bigger question: if someone simply wants to lower overall disease risk, where should they focus?  Dr. Fisher explains why movement is foundational. The body is built to contract muscles and move, and without that stimulus, very little functions optimally. He pairs that with practical advice: prioritize whole foods, limit processed options, and focus on fruits, vegetables, and protein in their natural form. Learn why sleep can't be ignored. You can train hard and eat well, but chronic poor sleep undermines everything. Research consistently links low-quality or insufficient sleep to obesity, diabetes, and even certain cancers. Dr. Fisher's closing remarks: Exercise, nutrition, and sleep are the core pillars. If you consistently check those three boxes, you dramatically improve your odds of a longer, healthier life. Why personal training supports long-term health, not just fitness. Strength, cardiovascular health, and metabolic improvements all depend on consistency and proper load. A good strength coach ensures your body moves efficiently, reduces injury risk, and makes every workout count toward longevity.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Energy’s brightest innovators. This is the Progress Powering Tomorrow. Allen Hall: Peter, welcome to the program.  Peter Giddings: Thanks for having me out.  Allen Hall: The UK right now is just a global leader in offshore wind, which I think a, a lot of us in the United States don’t even realize that, but the UK is a. Giant leader in offshore wind. Uh, but we keep hearing about the supply chain constraints that are threatening some of the timelines here. What are some of the fundamental problems that the UK offshore wind supply chain has today?  Peter Giddings: We are in a great situation for supply chain, but the 2000 companies, some of them with 25 years experience. At the scale where we can deliver the four gigawatts a year for the next five years that we need to hit our 2030 deployment targets and to keep that deployment rolling. So we are [00:01:00] brilliant at the UK of planning, developing and deploying wind farms. We have a really strong maintenance base. We do some great supply chain work, and IWGP Offshore Wind Growth Partnership has helped those businesses grow, but we don’t have as much capacity as we would like. For the major items. So we have a great set of facilities making blades. We have good facilities, uh, great facilities in JDR making cables, but we don’t capture as much of the manufacturing value of our deployment as we would like. That means we create fewer jobs, we create less economic benefit, and those developers are exposed to more supply chain risk. Specifically, we want to build globally competitive supply chain capacity. We, we we’re, we’re not a charity. We are building businesses that can win contracts. They are attractive to the procurement teams and they’re sustainable, they grow, right? Competitive capacity is what we’re after. Um, and that’s, that’s really what [00:02:00] we’re after. Allen Hall: And if the UK doesn’t really address these problems now, what does that look like for the supply chain? Because you’re talking about moving from roughly 16. Gigawatts in the water to approximately 50 gigawatts, 45, 50 gigawatts by 2030 and beyond. So that’s, you know, it’s roughly a tripling of the amount of capacity in the water supply chain becomes then really critical to that and in order to feed that. But what happens here, if the supply chain has not grown locally,  Peter Giddings: it’s a missed opportunity. I mean, the businesses that are here today would be an incremental growth. And that’s not bad. That’s an okay outcome. But if your deployment is a huge opportunity and you get an okay outcome, that’s not acceptable. That’s not a way to run an industry, right? We have this massive opportunity in front of us. There’s a huge amount that we could do that the UK is great at that the opportunity is to stretch [00:03:00] and help communities all around the coast have. Hundreds, thousands of jobs that are there. They’re stable, they’re good quality, and they are prosperous. It’s a real community initiative. Those towns, which are probably seeing a decline in oil and gas revenue or are strapped to tourism or kind of don’t have an industry, those towns, those people as humans are gonna have a much better future. There’s a, actually a really nice exemplar, um, it’s not. The biggest component, but Cable protection Systems is something that the UK is already globally renowned for. If you open up a tender pack, if you’re allowed to in other markets kind of anywhere, and you look to the CPS package, you would more than likely see a couple of, if not all four of CRP techmark, sub C and Balmoral, right? They, they serve the UK market real well, but they are globally renowned. [00:04:00]That’s, that’s one example. We are looking to do that for the priority sections of the industrial growth plan. You know, we’re going to pick and are picking the areas of the supply chain where we think the UK can be genuinely competitive and we have something to offer. A developer is not gonna choose a substandard product that’s a bit more expensive, but we can build up supply chains that offer fantastic products. Cable protection systems, and we can capture big market share there. Develop a product that can be exported, or if it’s a bit too far to ship, develop a business which can open up a new base. You know, so we, we get that, um, combination of local demand being served. And when I say local, I mean like the North Sea in Baltic and that global opportunity. So it’s, but it’s not gonna be everything. You know, people might. I might get a little bit heat for this, but [00:05:00] if you spread the jam too thin, it doesn’t taste very good. You haven’t committed to win a few things rather than come second and third everywhere. We have to choose what we win at.  Allen Hall: Let’s get into the industrial growth plan, ’cause I wanna understand that a little bit better and how OWGP. Fits in that as the delivery body. Right? So you have this industrial growth plan, OWGP is, is sort of administering it and, and taking action on it. How does this system work and, and why is it different than other attempts at supply chain development?  Peter Giddings: Uh, a couple of years ago, 2023, um, most of the major institutional stakeholders came together and said, oh, that we see this big opportunity coming. We want to make sure that the UK benefits from having all that deployment. So if you’ve got a bunch of demand and you [00:06:00] don’t have much supply, you don’t have as much supply as you want, that’s an obvious gap to fill. And the Crown of State, the Crown of State Scotland, the departments from government, the Offshore Wind Industry Council, a consortium of developers in the uk, uh, came together. Um. And funded a piece of work that allowed, um, a team to bring in lots of industry input. Look at what the big opportunities were in the market. So where is there substantial value? Where is there substantial demand? And match that up to where does the UK have capability and where could we grow a competitive advantage? So. What prizes are worth winning? What prizes can we win? And we’ve matched those up and there’s kind of five priority areas that we’ve selected. Um, it’s kind of the first things we’re gonna go after. Um, [00:07:00] they’re, they’re quite broad, those five. It’s advanced turbine technologies, deep water foundations, cable and electrical systems, uh, smart environmental services, and, uh, smart operations and maintenance. If you kind of open those boxes up, there are some very specific supply chains that are prioritized. So I’ll take the one that, uh, is the first one that we’re looking at. Advanced turbine technology. Uh, we talked just before we started recording, um, that the UK has real strength in blades. Blades is a big opportunity. We have a really well established composite industry. We have a great facility up in Hull. We have an r and d base and an onshore, um, factory on the isle of White with Vestas. And I think the thing we don’t really say is we have chief engineer for blades of Vestas in the UK structures lead. The r and d team is 140 strong down on the island [00:08:00] and we have a really productive facility in Hull. Um. That is putting product out, has been making, um, recyclable blades, is making the one 15. We have depth, so it’s a good opportunity. We have strength, we have a massive innovation ecosystem, so that’s a really obvious win. And we’ve been through the rest of the supply chain taking cables, good capacity, excellent experience from oil and gas, and so that’s a priority area. Okay. Going through those supply chains, finding big opportunities that the UK has, the ability to win contracts in, and then mapping out what do you need to do to make that capacity happen? How much capacity, at what cost, with what performance? And that’s, that’s kind of the OWGP role is owning that plan, bringing input from industry, [00:09:00] bringing input from experts. Turning the ambition of we want to have the ability to supply 50% of UK demand and export into a tangible plan of, cool, these businesses need this investment by this time to stand up a facility so they’re ready. It’s not just a blade factory. Right. That’s, um, that’s important. It’s the 20 businesses that sell product, that sell services into that. We talk about pyramids, right? You’ve got one facility at the top and a big wide base with lots of people who are employed in that big wide base. And I think, you know, it’s natural. Everybody looks to the top of the mountain. We’re looking to build the whole thing, and that’s a really powerful reason for industries to stay for the long term. So I think tracking back to your [00:10:00] question. What’s our role? We own that plan. We bring together the expertise and convert it into a set of measurable steps really. And that kind of second part is coordinate. Everybody needs to be playing the same game, aiming at the same targets. And that’s a really important part. Allen Hall: Well, I think for a lot of people outside the UK, it’s hard to envision the amount of industry that exists. In the UK you’re about 70 million people, so you’re roughly maybe a quarter of the population size of the United States roughly. But you’re, you, you have internal industries there and other areas that have that supply chain growth. So you’ve watched it in aerospace, which is one I’m familiar with, but in other industries, you, automobiles and a number of other areas, uh, you have that supply chain. So you know how to, the UK knows how to do that, but, but that hasn’t really necessarily happened in offshore wind, which I think is where the [00:11:00] opportunity is because I think watching. Being around this industry for as long as I have. One of the key elements is that, uh, the, the smaller businesses are sort of tier twos or tier threes that make the tier ones possible are kind of forgotten about. But the UK historically has looked at tier two and tier three as being the fundamentals to a successful product delivery and, and a, a global marketplace. Is, is that where the initial focus is? Because just listening to. And going to your website, uh, which I encourage everybody to do, you see where there’s smart decisions being made to create that base and what does that look like? And when you’re trying to attack that base on offshore wind, obviously cables and turbine technology, anything to do basically with being in the water, which the UK is great at. Do you see that being a relatively quick exercise because the UK has done it before in other industries? Or [00:12:00] is this problem just a little bit different because of the scale of it?  Peter Giddings: It’s really similar to, uh, the way supply chain’s been supported in aerospace, for example. Um, the Airbus has a deep supply chain in the UK and has a very strong voice into government. Their supply chain is supported. They’ve built that base. Um, and so from the outcome, that’s gonna be pretty similar? I think so. We, we have a template. I’ve worked in aerospace, many colleagues, um, that we’re, we’re calling on have, um, I guess the difference is, uh, maturity of industry. So the developers are very mature businesses. They’re global. They have been big for time. They know how to do supply chain development from oil and gas, where you build enormous unicorns. Exactly. Once, [00:13:00] then move on. You know, an oil and gas project is, is a one time deal. It’s tremendous, but you don’t have to make a hundred of them and it’s slightly different. So you end up with a, a single point, and if you are. Experience and your, um, relationship with government sits with developers that can create some really, um, it, it takes time to build up your supply chain so that they have the same experience of running, um, large development programs. They have the stability as businesses to kind of build through. It’s really important to remember that turbine OEMs and the tier ones haven’t had 30 years of stable business modeling wind. Because 30 years ago, wind wasn’t really a big industry, right? They have had plenty of success scaling their business, and we’re just entering the phase now where you can, um, pretty credibly say that wind is [00:14:00] a global business with a long-term future. And it needs to find the right way for those OEMs, those big tier one manufacturing businesses to support their business in the long term. That is, I would say quite new. Um, hopefully I don’t get pilled for saying that, but Airbus, spin Airbus for 2, 3, 4 generations. Right. So they know their game. Same with roles, same with, you know, Nissan and Toyota. It’s, it’s gonna take a little minute for the manufacturing part of the wind industry to settle and learn what works. We think OWGP and our partners, GB Energy, crown State, we think. We have a good starter for 10. You know, it’s modeled off what we’ve done in other industries. It provides stability, provides capital and a plan. I think that’s a really good mix. Um, [00:15:00] and I think it’ll just take a bit of time to mature those relationships and get everybody comfortable. Um, the developers have been really supportive. The OWGP money comes from. A developer contribution. So they are playing their part. Absolutely they are. We need to find the right way for manufacturing businesses to scale and then start pumping in innovations into that capacity so it stays competitive. You know, it’s a build capacity that’s competitive today. Feed it with innovation so it stays competitive and gets better and better and better.  Allen Hall: How far off the technology chain do you want them to be before you consider them to be part of the supply chain  Peter Giddings: today? Uh, 21st of January, 2026. There is good money for people that are within about a year of getting their technology to market. So that’s the, the approximate. Um, you’ll notice I dodge TRLI don’t think it’s super helpful. Um, time to market is, uh, is, is [00:16:00] really a good indicator. Yeah. Alan’s, give me the thumbs up of someone that’s done a TRL assessment or two. Um, we, we are looking for businesses that are commercially. Viable. They have relationships with customers. Um, they’re trading the earliest currently, and it’s currently, um, is like a year, maybe two years to market at the outside and up, um, we’re working with. And so that’s not just OWGP, that’s across the funding streams that are available. Um, and there are many we are working with and hopeful in the next week or two to have, um. A positive result from the UK government on earlier stage innovation funding so that we can align the early stage innovation at the problems that really count for making businesses competitive. You know, to be super clear, that’s not gonna be OWGP Cash. Our hope is that it’s OWGP derived questions [00:17:00] delivered by the innovation institute’s offshore renewable energy catapult, the high value manufacturing catapults. Academia, innovative businesses. Those guys do the innovation and we work together with them and with industry to really find the questions that count and we can focus our attention on commercializing that and scaling up the things that are commercial.  Allen Hall: Peter, walk us through how a UK supply chain company actually engages with OWGP. Uh, what does that. Uh, look like. And what are the, sort of the different options to, to engage with OWGP?  Peter Giddings: So I, I think the first thing to say is you, you don’t have to be UK today. We would love to attract businesses from overseas. Um, you can start a UK entity quite quickly. The first people, first place people tend to engage is in our, um, business, uh, support services. So we help, uh, businesses orientate themselves commercially. Understand how the contracting works, understand who [00:18:00] their, their pot potential customers are. Um, and that’s, yeah, it’s on our website. It’s Business Transformation Services, the West Program, wind Expert Services. There’s a t in there, there’s something else. Um, but that’s really the entry point for businesses that need to orientate themselves in the UK market. And we, and that. Intensity and the, the depth of the commercial support kind of ramps up through base and up to sig sharing in growth. Um, and you’ll also see us in the next year or two, um, take a, a more proactive approach to supporting businesses commercially. Um, I’m actually down with a, a fantastic business in the blade supply chain, um, composite integration in Saltash, helping them build a strategic, um, business plan. So a little more than just going, oh, this is where you get your contract. Actually helping them model what a future bigger business would look like and what they will need to do to, to reach it. You know, commercial support is growing for us. I think it could be really important, right? It’s [00:19:00] new for us, so, you know, we’ll learn. But the first point of call, go to the website, get in touch with the team, um, and often people choose that commercial support, the business transformation. We also run grant funding. Um, we have innovation calls. Um, we have a whole range of different calls going from innovation up to development into Dev X. So manufacturing, um, facility support program, they’re all grant. You can choose to pay them back. You do need to be UK entity, but you need to be quite close to market that one to two year zone with commercial traction. Um, and again, information is available. There is a team of people. Who are really great at taking those triaging, figuring out what’s right for you, what’s not, and if it’s not something from us, we do and we are delighted to pass you on to other people. You know, if you talk to us, we will make sure you find a home.[00:20:00] I think that’s really important to say.  Allen Hall: I think that’s very critical and one of the more difficult. Periods for, uh, it’s a smaller company to become bigger and be part of this massive supply chain, is that sort of 1 million pound, the 5 million pound kind of business, which has a technology which has proven itself and is delivering something or very close to delivering something. That transition is incredibly hard and getting some help there and some advice even would make the transition so much shorter and more efficient than what it typically is. That’s what OWGP does. So it’s not just the money. Obviously money helps everything generally. It’s the context, it’s the advice, it’s the knowledge that, uh, OWGP brings to the table that helps you grow your technology, your small business, into that mid-tier business and takes that mid-tier business into that gigantic world leader business. Those are the things that are, [00:21:00] are so hard to quantify, to put some, uh, some people in place. Boy, OWGP can really ramp up and has, the UK in general has done this many, many times. So I, I, I just encourage everybody who’s listening to this podcast to think about OWGP as a contact point and reach out. And Peter, how can they do that? What are the first steps to contact OWGP?  Peter Giddings: It’s always best to come in through our website. So my contact details will be in the, um, in the show notes, but you, you can look at the different programs there are contact US buttons all over it. Um, it also gives you sight of the industrial growth plan, um, and the priority areas. We are trying where we can to focus our efforts on those priority areas, and we would absolutely be delighted to hear from businesses active in the IGB priorities. Um, if you are, if you are not in one of those, you’re not excluded, come talk to us and we, we are supporting ambitious [00:22:00] businesses. We’re just focusing most of our efforts on the ones that are aligned to priority. We’re, we’re on your team. We would like to hear from you. Um, yeah, do, do start with the website. Hit one of the contact buttons you’ll come into to one of the team and we will connect you in. Um, I think that’s probably the, the best way  Allen Hall: and the website is ow gp.org.uk. Very easy to get to. You can just Google it and it’ll come right up. There’s a ton of information on that website. Peter, thank you so much for being on the podcast. I really appreciate this. Learned a lot and very excited for what the UK is about to do.  Peter Giddings: I’m looking forward to talking to you again.

In this solo episode, Erica breaks down how fascia influences pain—and why gentle, consistent work often creates better (and longer-lasting) relief than intense release methods. You'll learn why "less is more," how smaller ranges of motion can help your body feel safer, and why diaphragmatic breathing + deep core alignment are foundational for reducing tension, improving posture, and getting out of pain patterns.

Most athletes are not undertrained — they are overworked in the wrong ways.Performance does not come from doing more. It comes from doing the right work with precision and intent.Episode HighlightsIn this episode, Adam Lane sits down with Coach Ryan Paul, founder of New Athlete Incorporated, to break down what it really takes to develop athletes who can perform at a high level without being run into the ground.

Spirituality Means Intensity | London, UK | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

In this episode, we take "consistency over intensity" out of the gym and straight into relationships. Because if it's intense all the time, you burn out. If it's consistent all the time, you get bored. So what's the sweet spot? We talk about respect as the real baseline, convenience vs. connection, why lifelong marriage might need a rethink (yes, we went there), and how finances, in-laws, religion, and resentment erode connection faster than lack of chemistry ever could. We unpack how to approach hard conversations without triggering defensiveness, why movement helps when words get stuck, and how planned romance can still be romantic (if it's not transactional). There's a dash of "Liz & Lee Love Plan" brainstorming, a little twerking therapy, and a reminder that love isn't about pressure or perfection. It's about bravery, honesty, low expectations, and choosing each other again and again… until you don't. And if you don't? That's information, too.   Resources mentioned: Consistency vs. Intensity in Fitness (Episode 206) Love Languages Are Kinda BS (Episode 179) Liz's favorite Everyday Oil - Unscented Liz's favorite Everyday Oil - Mainstay   3 Ways to Strengthen Your Relationship Without Burning It Down: Respect is the real baseline. Intensity is exciting. Consistency is comforting. But without respect, neither one holds. Love without respect doesn't last. Speak from love, not accusation. Hard conversations are inevitable. Defensiveness is optional. Lead with "I'm struggling" instead of "You never." Move your body together. Lower the pressure. Sometimes breakthroughs come after laughter, not confrontation. Keep a dash of crazy. Grand gestures are great. Daily small touches matter more. Plan the dinner. Drop the expectations. Twerk in the kitchen. Low expectations + real affection = longevity.  

In this episode of Barca Talk, Troy reviews Barca's recent match against Levante, discussing the team's performance, tactical adjustments, and key player contributions. He emphasizes the importance of intensity and desire in matches, particularly as the team prepares for upcoming challenges in La Liga and the Champions League. The conversation also highlights the significance of early game performances. Barcelona's early game schedule has been a recurring theme this season. The team needed a convincing victory against Levante to regain momentum. Hansi Flick's management style has effectively reduced internal conflicts. Intensity and desire are crucial for success in La Liga matches. The team's tactical approach needs to adapt based on opponents. Mark Bernal's offensive contributions are a key asset for the team. João Cancelo's performance was vital for Barcelona's attacking play. Levante's lack of pressing allowed Barcelona to control the game. Barcelona must maintain high intensity to compete effectively in Europe.

Consistency Beats Intensity in Growth   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now, as a general rule of thumb, we say 90 minutes a day of business development. Whatever these five are to the best that you can, do 90 minutes a day. If you can't avoid it, try not to do more than that. Unless you're like, I'm at a networking event. It's eight hours long. Like when I'm at Board of Advisors, Ray and I are members of Board of Advisors in Minnesota, you know, it's an all-day event. So I'm, you know, networking more than 90 minutes those days, but then there are some days I don't do it, right. You know, if you stick to 90 days, it's not too much. It's enough that you stay consistent. Right? And so you could build 90 minutes a day, or 90 minutes into a day, reasonably. Reasonably. Now, you might say, Well, can I leverage that up to my team? Yes, you can. However, I would say don't yet. Until you nail your– you nail. Like you walk into a room and you're like, where are my bad four-quarter Johns? 1,2,3,4 I could tell by your dress how bad that quarter was. I know exactly what to ask this one. Like you walk into a home and you know that room. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Many managers believe pressure drives performance. Others focus heavily on support. But high-performing teams don't choose one or the other. They operate with both.When expectations are high, but support is low, people become defensive, stressed, and disengaged. When support is high but expectations are low, performance suffers. The real challenge for managers is learning how to balance intensity with kindness so teams feel both challenged and supported.Fortunately, this week's guest shares a practical and grounded approach to building this balance. Evan Marks, a mental performance coach who has worked in high-stakes environments, explains why people don't rise to the occasion but fall to their level of training. He also shares how structure, emotional regulation, and clear communication help teams perform under pressure.In this conversation, we explore how to create psychological safety without lowering standards, how to shift from feedback to “feedforward,” and why leaders must model ownership and emotional control if they want their teams to do the same.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!

This week on the Calvary Church Podcast, we continue our February series, On Earth As It Is In Heaven, with a compelling message entitled “Intensity of Mission.”In 1 Corinthians 9:19–27, the Apostle Paul describes a life fully devoted to the mission of the gospel—one marked by intentionality, sacrifice, and disciplined purpose. Paul's words challenge us to see our faith not as something casual or convenient, but as a calling worthy of our full effort and focus.This message invites us to examine the intensity with which we pursue God's mission in our everyday lives. When the church lives with clarity and urgency, heaven's priorities begin to take shape on earth.Join us as we explore what it looks like to run with purpose, live with discipline, and give ourselves fully to the work God has entrusted to us.Subscribe, share, and continue living on earth as it is in heaven.

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Denmark-based coach and hybrid athlete Andreas Stobberup to talk about bridging serious strength training with high-level endurance performance. Andreas shares his journey from peaking around 250 lbs with a 405 bench and 600+ squat to dropping to 205 and completing a full Ironman in 9:52—while continuing to coach athletes across disciplines. We discuss the reality gap between amateur and elite performance, how influencer culture often strips context from training advice, and why fundamentals still win: training, nutrition, sleep, and measurable outputs. We break down common misunderstandings around Zone 2 training, why pros don't train the way social media says they do, and how strength athletes can intelligently add conditioning without compromising lifting. We also cover VO₂ max development, microdosing cardio, output-based tracking (times, power, lactate), and how to think about HRV and wearable data in context. If you're interested in hybrid training, improving conditioning without sacrificing muscle, or understanding how to measure what actually matters, this one is packed with practical insight.

This video is for anyone who wants smoother, clearer, more confident speech, not just once in a while, but consistently. The goal isn't perfection. It's steady growth, daily progress, and building confidence you can trust in real conversations. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & the real reason change doesn't stick 02:00 Why consistency beats intensity 05:00 A structured path to daily speaking confidence

Pilates is trending. Protein is trending. Two-week abs are trending. And we have thoughts. In this episode, we break down the "Pilates wars," what Pilates actually is (and why real certification matters), and how social media has turned fitness into something performative instead of powerful. We talk about Megaformers, weekend certifications, protein without obsession, and why chasing numbers – on the scale, in your macros, or in your workout streak – is exhausting your brain more than building your body. The truth? Consistency beats intensity. Every time. Whether it's strength training, nutrition, or relationships, going to your edge without jumping off the cliff is where real change happens. If you're overwhelmed by fitness noise and ready to simplify, this one's your reset.   Resources mentioned: ABsolute Pilates Iron Butterfly   3 Ways to Calm the Fitness Noise: Choose consistency over intensity. You don't need two-a-days, free-week marathons, or a 14-day body reset. Move your body most days. Lift something heavy. Break a sweat. Then come back tomorrow. Real strength is built in rhythm, not in extremes. Stop turning your health into a math problem. If macros, scale weight, protein grams, and calorie counts are running through your head all day, that's noise. Eat real food. Add protein at your meals. Hydrate. Sleep. Repeat. Simple works. Go to your edge, not off the cliff. Challenge yourself, but keep your agency. Some days are heavier weights and extra push-ups. Some days are lighter and slower. Listening to your body isn't weakness. It's power.

If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

In Episode 339 of My Favorite Mistake, Mark Graban talks with Genevieve Skory, executive coach and former Chief Field Development Officer, about a leadership mistake that many high performers make: confusing performance with alignment. Episode page with links, video, and more For years, Genevieve defined winning by revenue and results. Pressure was normal. Constant pivoting felt strategic. Intensity was rewarded. The numbers came in — but so did exhaustion, turnover, and a culture operating in fight-or-flight mode. In this conversation, we explore the hidden cost of performance-at-all-costs leadership, the neuroscience behind fear-driven decision-making, and why teams don't always tell leaders the truth when the environment feels unsafe. Genevieve shares what changed for her and how she now helps ambitious leaders build sustainable success without burnout. If you've ever sensed that strong results were masking deeper misalignment, this episode will resonate.

In high school, a career and technical education program let her earn healthcare certifications that sparked real clinical interest. As an undergrad at Texas A&M, she sought academic rigor and built-in research while learning to ask for help sooner—through office hours, professional advising, and a premed society that brought advisors and medical schools to campus.She shares the toughest moments too: a rocky transition to college, being humbled by General Chemistry (but loving visual organic chemistry), and navigating a competitive premed culture by staying in her own lane. Inside medical school, she talks imposter syndrome, the fire‑hydrant pace of learning, and how Pomodoro, Anki, and visual tools on her iPad kept her grounded. She opens up about the stress of MMIs and virtual glitches, the relief of a Texas pre‑match call after three interviews, and the power of friends and family when things get heavy.If you're weighing how hard to push versus how smart to study, or how to keep your “why” front and center, Kaylah's candid reflections will help you recalibrate.What You'll Learn:- How to plug into advising and support even at large schools- Ways to manage competition by staying in your lane- Smarter study methods: Pomodoro, Anki, and visual learning- Handling MMIs when there's no feedback or affirmation- Keeping your why alive through setbacks and intensity
