When does a body of work reach completion? One answer is to end it by choice. This week in episode 356 you'll hear the reasons behind our intentional ending of the Nerd Journey Podcast. We'll rewind the clock and focus on the show's trajectory and inflection points over time just like we've done for guests, share what we learned over the course of an 8-year journey from idea to consistently released show, and discuss our favorite moments. All of our content will remain online and accessible for listeners like you to go back and enjoy. Don't miss our final call to action in this episode. Just because this body of work is complete, there is still work for all of us to do for our careers. Original Recording Date: 12-20-2025 Topics – A Purposeful Ending, Where We Started, Interview Format and Getting to Launch, The Why Behind the Ending, The Lessons We Learned, Our Favorite Moments, What to Expect from Us Moving Forward, There's More to Be Done for All of Us. 1:01 – A Purposeful Ending We'll give you the bottom line up front: this is the last episode of the Nerd Journey podcast. We still love the mission, but the time has come for us to complete this body of work. When we have interviewed guests on the show, we've talked through their career timeline and pulled out the lessons learned. Today, we're going to do it for the show itself. 1:38 – Where We Started John was working as a sales engineer at VMware and was the co-host of the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. He loved listening to podcasts, enjoyed the medium, and wanted to find a topic for a show. At the same time Nick was in the process of joining VMware, John and Nick were discussing all the things Nick needed to know to transition into sales engineering for a technology vendor. “In that conversation, I said ‘maybe we should start a podcast.'” – John White As Nick remembers it, this happened the weekend before Nick started at VMware in December 2017 (almost exactly 8 years before this episode's recording). Nick wasn't sure what he would talk about on a podcast. This suggestion from John started the ideation period, and our launch of the show was in July 2018. John talks about some of the initial ideas for the focus of the show. At that time, VMware podcasts and blogs were a great way to interact with the greater community. Doing something like this was also a way to become what John calls “nerd famous.” By the way, no one else can use that term now (trademarked by John). We initially considered talking about VMware news and our opinions on it since we both were going to be working at VMware. Both John and Nick came from small-to-medium business IT operations and eventually became sales engineers at a technology vendor. One of the things the show could be for is to talk about that journey and help others understand it was a possibility for them as well. John and Nick recorded about 10 episodes before launching to help hit the release cadence. Nick doesn't remember why they chose a weekly release cadence but remembers the show launched while he was on vacation. John and Nick even recorded a podcast episode while Nick was on that vacation, which started a habit of Nick doing podcast work while on vacation. Because they had recorded so many episodes in advance, they were not going to be timely or points of authority on VMware technology. Both Nick and John's roles were as technical generalists on the VMware side. “The only evergreen stuff that we had was the career stuff, so that became a little bit more the focus. I think that we were still thinking…we'll just record more maybe VMware specific stuff later on…as that happens. For right now, here it is.” – John White Early episodes were very prescriptive about resumes and job interview processes at larger tech companies, for example. Nick points out that John had to carry the conversation in these early episodes because he was just learning to think about career focused topics (sort of like being new to lifting weights). But, Nick picked up a lot just from the conversations on the show. 7:50 – Interview Format and Getting to Launch Nick couldn't remember what made them bring in guests originally, but Episode 13 with Tom Delicati was our very first guest interview on the show. John feels bringing in guests was always back of mind for him, and it was what he saw happen on the VMware Community Roundtable Podcast. “We're just 2 people and we have our experience. But we can't represent that as the full breadth of all of experience. That just doesn't make any sense. So, we need to start exploring what other people's career journeys have looked like and see if we can extract some knowledge and recommendations from that.” – John White Nick doesn't remember having a prescriptive plan for interviewing guests but feels like they settled into long-form interviews as a style pretty quickly. John says this was a structure they hit upon in the beginning (talking through someone's job history). The lessons learned from career inflection points like job transitions emerged from conversations with guests. John and Nick did not know this was going to happen when they began. Nick likes being able to highlight more of one specific guest's story than otherwise could have been done if each interview was only 30 minutes with a guest. But we fully acknowledge people like different lengths of podcasts. “We wanted to tell interesting stories that had an arc: a beginning and an end and a journey in between. And we were able to find those even chopping people's long 2-hour conversations up into 2 or even 3 episodes. I think that worked for us. I don't know if it worked for everybody.” – John White “We probably spent the same time interviewing people as we would have. We just didn't interview as many as if it had been 1 episode per person.” – Nick Korte We also didn't want to release a 2-hour interview as one episode. That's a lot of editing for just one episode release. People might not realize how much time goes into editing and production even after recording an interview. At the beginning, John had to give Nick advice on the kind of microphone to get. Nick started recording with a headset and then bought the same mic as John. They would each later invest in nicer microphones as the show progressed. “I knew nothing about editing and really not that much about how to make a podcast.” – Nick Korte, on beginning as a podcaster There were a lot of things we had to figure out just to make the podcast publicly available. John had researched some of the administrative things. He knew there was a WordPress plugin that could be used to turn MP3 files of released episodes into publicly available audio feed that would be the podcast. John says there were some mental blocks and hurdles he had to get through before launching the show, highlighting the fact that it took 6 months to go from idea to publishing. He was getting overwhelmed trying to figure out the back-end production and publishing process. John thinks it was Nick who kept asking what needed to happen for us to launch, and we went with WordPress and the plugin mentioned but never changed anything…because we had no time to go back. Nick and John learned that once you start a show and get it going, you will never run out of ideas. 13:58 – The Why Behind the Ending We never ran out of ideas. In fact, we still have ideas. So why are we stopping the podcast? We ran out of time. Nick has run out of time to work on editing and production. This has been a weekly show (up until the last couple months of our run), and it takes a large time commitment each week. For guest interview episodes, the intro and outro were not recorded at the same time the interview took place. These had to be recorded before the episode was released. The show notes are not AI-generated. Nick enjoyed writing them and adding in important links and references, feeling like it allowed him to remember the episodes better and internalize the lessons within them. Nick has a teenager now with many extracurricular activities and has had a workload increase at his job. “Probably for the last year I think I've been fooling myself at how much of a toll it's been to just get an episode out each week.” – Nick Korte We even tried changing the release schedule to bi-weekly and have missed that cadence a couple of times. John ran out of time about 4 years ago and hasn't had much time since to handle podcast related tasks. John experienced a job change and new baby at that time and couldn't add anything else. He also moved at some point. John and Nick have been advancing in their own careers over time as well, which has added responsibility. John and his wife recently had a second child. He also left his job in June 2025 and has been doing a job search at the same time. Before Nick and John made this decision, Nick listened back to some previous episodes to get advice and perspective. Some of the advice that echoed the loudest came from Amy Lewis in Episode 302 – Ending with Intention: Once a Geek Whisperer with Amy Lewis (2/2). The idea of ending with intention stood out. “Rather than being spotty on our releases and not keeping our promise of how often we say we're going to get the show out, we wanted to end it with intention and say, ‘ok, this is it.'” – Nick Korte “We haven't lost the love of this task. We both want this to continue. But realistically, we can't do it. And rather than sputter and peter out and never be heard from again, we just thought we'll follow the lessons that we've learned from our bettors and do what they did. Let's be intentional about the end.” – John White 18:02 – The Lessons We Learned John learned how much we can learn from the experience of others. He had ideas and biases about how we should handle specific aspects of our career, but doing the podcast allowed him to pressure test these ideas against the experience of others. John appreciates the breadth of background and experience our collective guests have brought to the show. It made him realize there are so many different ways to do certain things. Nick learned a ton about the mechanics of podcast production. It was around Episode 113 when Nick became the editor because John needed to take a break. If you want to hear more about how this happened, check out this blog post. Nick got hooked into podcast communities and even attended a podcast conference in 2025, meeting many other people who run their own podcast. Nick learned how much salesmanship is involved in getting a guest. You have to sell someone on the idea of being on the show and what they can bring to your listeners. How easy can you make it for them to say yes? John and Nick asked guests for 1.5 – 2 hours for an interview. “If you make it easy for someone to say yes and you build the outline of questions you might ask and you tell them what your show is about and what you want to cover, they'll say yes. And they might give you more time than that…. I learned so much about different people that I never would have met otherwise. I am thankful for all the learnings of all the people who have been on the show. And I'm thankful for everything I've learned from you, John.” – Nick Korte John is grateful for the difference in skills he and Nick have and their ability to learn from one another just by co-hosting together. He likes to apply the idea of making it easy for others to say yes when he's asking something of someone at work, for example. Nick learned how to beat perfectionism weekly. Something can always be edited more or re-recorded. There was a weekly ship date. “The deadline was always there to keep me honest.” – Nick Korte Seth Godin's The Practice talks about keeping a promise to the people who follow you. Having a weekly release cadence meant we were promising to ship episodes weekly. “So, whether one person listened or a million people listened, we tried to keep that promise. And it was important to us to keep it, even if it was hard.” – Nick Korte “Having a million people listen to a specific episode or even hit the site in a specific week wasn't the goal. I think the goal was the breadth of work and making it accessible and having people be able to benefit from it.” – John White We also had to learn how to tell people about the show in a clear, succinct way. When John or Nick would join video calls for work, people would see their microphones and ask if they had a podcast. We also used generative AI in our workflow for production a little bit, even if it was not for show notes. Doing the show has dragged with it some reasons to tinker with generative AI. With John's help Nick learned how to build a Gemini prompt that would take the handwritten show notes and brainstorm titles, episode descriptions, and even create a prompt for a featured image based on the themes in the episode. John shares that we never wanted to use generative AI to take a transcript and generate an episode outline. We might lose touch with the content that way. John talks about the curse of being an audio editor. It's impossible to NOT hear issues in other audio. Nick can hear mouth noises on Zoom calls like you wouldn't believe. John says we can listen to someone else's podcast and may be able to tell who is and is not the editor based on whether they speak into the microphone or move away from it and keep talking. 25:15 – Our Favorite Moments John says it's hard to pick just one favorite moment. We got to meet some of our heroes in podcasting and other people who were “nerd famous” about their career stories. We had some great conversations with John Nicholson about how to evaluate a job offer and personal finance. Check out these for reference: Episode 224 – Tech Marketing, Interview Questions, and Executives as Wild Bears with John Nicholson (1/3) Episode 225 – Take Stock of Your Compensation with John Nicholson (2/3) Episode 226 – Negotiating Job Offers and Personal Finance Tips with John Nicholson (3/3) Having a podcast allowed us to have lengthy conversations with people who may not have otherwise had a reason to talk to us. John doesn't think asking someone out of the blue for 2 hours of time without having a podcast would have worked well. John says he has a strong recency bias, often walking away from an interview with a guest thinking it was the best one yet. Nick's favorite moments Nick remembers the first time we interviewed Mike Burkhart (in Episode 64 and Episode 65). He was having wifi issues and had to move everything into his living room floor to record the episode. John and Mike were kind enough to stay online and still do the interview. John and Nick live in different parts of the United States and have only been able to record together in person a handful of times. These times were special and rare. Nick remembers the time they recorded at VMware Explore and forgot to hit record…twice in a row! If John had to succumb to recency bias, he would pick the recent interview with Milin Desai. This set of interviews stands alone as the only time we were cold pitched a guest by someone we did not know, and it was a perfect fit. We got over 2 hours with a CEO! Episode 349 – Expand Your Curiosity: Build, Own, and Maintain Relevance with Milin Desai (1/3) Episode 350 – Scope and Upside: The Importance of Contextual Communication with Milin Desai (2/3) Episode 350 – Opt In: A CEO's Take on Becoming AI Native with Milin Desai (3/3) People being both generous with their time and inciteful has been a pattern with guests. Nick and John got to have conversations with people both on the air and off the air. Nick appreciated having Dale McKay on the show (a mentor of his). You can find those episodes here: Episode 288 – Guardrails for Growth: A Mentor's Experience with Dale McKay (1/2) Episode 289 – Enhance Your Personal Brand: Feedback as a Catalyst for Change with Dale McKay (2/2) Some other favorites from Nick: He enjoyed all of the conversations about the principal title and principal engineers. See also the principal tag for more of these stories. Nick also really enjoyed hearing the stories about why people went into leadership roles and why they moved away from them. One specific episode Nick highlights as a favorite is Episode 127 – Countdown to Burnout with Tom Hollingsworth (3/3). John mentions we all battle burnout from time to time, and having such great advice to go back to is a gift. Nick says being the editor is also a gift because you're going to get to listen to the recorded discussion multiple times. Many times, the questions Nick and John asked in guest interviews were things they needed help with in their own careers. Hopefully the answers to those questions helped you as a listener too! John liked the fact that we were able to clip some of the times we messed up on the air and include those sound bites at the very end of an episode for people. To find these episodes, look for the Stinger metadata tag on an episode post. Nick mentions the Barry White intro stinger. It's actually at the end of Episode 17. There are also some good stingers with guest Chris Williams. 31:05 – What to Expect from Us Moving Forward What are the things that will, won't, and might happen in the future? The Nerd Journey site will remain online and accessible so our content will not disappear. You can still enjoy past episodes, browse the show notes, and leverage the Layoff Resources Page as well as our Career Uncertainty Action Guide. John and Nick can keep it online in a very cost-effective way just as they have to this point since the podcast was never monetized (not even Amazon affiliate links). John still has a dream of making sure we have transcripts of all the episodes and making these available in addition to the show notes. Maybe that could be extended to an AI chat bot that was trained on the transcripts. There would be some overhead involved in doing it, but John thinks it's definitely possible. You can still reach out to John or Nick on LinkedIn or send us an e-mail. All current communication channels will remain in place. We are available for questions, if you want to talk, etc. We will definitely NOT restart this show. We have declared it complete. Even if we were going to do a show like this again in the future, we would do it differently. We might choose a different name, a different description, or a different format even. But we don't have the time to do that right now anyway. We are NOT starting a new show (at least not right now). 34:59 – There's More to Be Done for All of Us Just because the show is ending, that doesn't mean your work is complete. None of our work is complete when it comes to career. “The things that we've talked about in curating your own career and being intentional about it always apply. We're not going to be around to remind you of that every week, so I hope that people have learned those lessons and internalized them. But if not, do something to make those things intentional. You need to prioritize your career on a consistent basis.” – John White Here are some specific actions that you should take: Document your work. Generate proof of work. Show your work (similar to generating proof of work). John says this is what we were unconsciously doing when we began the podcast, sharing how we got to where we are and our job transitions so others can follow a similar path if they choose. The purpose of showing your work is so that others can learn from your experience and so you can remind yourself of what you've accomplished at a later time. Nick highlights that Episode 66: Three-Month Check-In as a Google Cloud Customer Engineer with John White, Part 1 remains the most downloaded episode in our catalog. Aim for small, iterative improvements. Turn information into knowledge. Some of this is through writing. We spoke several times on the show about writing being thinking, and it was specifically referenced in an episode with Josh Duffney – Episode 156 – Better Notes, Better You with Josh Duffney (1/2). Manage your knowledge in some kind of written form that isn't in your head. Make it a knowledge management system of some kind. Practice Deep Work. It's the most important work you can do because the skill of sustained attention will be the thing for which people are paid. Be mindful of technology waves and trends, and consider placing some small bets. Many guests have invested time and effort to become proficient in a newer technology before or as it was catching on. Don't be afraid to tinker with those newer technologies. Consistently invest in your professional network. One way to do this could be via meetup groups or online communities. Reach out to use if you want to talk about careers, starting a podcast, or other fun topics. Nick can also tell you what it's like to go through the John White School of Mentoring. We want to say a special thank you to every guest who took the time to be on the podcast and every listener who took the time to listen to an episode.

During today's episode, Richard explained his compelling vision for a community built on intentional mutual benefit—a concept that resonates deeply with me.Richard's new book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, is the culmination of over two decades of work, blending personal experience, community organizing, and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He challenges the idea that we are separate, saying, “We're actually all connected…within our families, neighborhoods, local communities, nations, and worldwide.”This intentional mutual benefit, as Richard describes it, is a culture where every action, thought, and decision considers its impact on others. It's about making connection a core value, from small personal interactions to global systems. Richard explained, “Symbiotic culture…is a culture in which intentional mutual benefit between human beings and with nature becomes the norm at all scales.”He draws from practical experience, sharing stories of community transformation. Richard recounted his involvement in initiatives like the Nevada Micro-Enterprise Initiative, which provided low-income entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and technical assistance. These efforts exemplify his belief that mutual benefit can underpin economic and social systems, creating a “virtuous economy.”This vision aligns beautifully with the principles of impact crowdfunding, where investors and entrepreneurs unite to create positive change. Richard's work shows how embedding intentional mutual benefit into our economy has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.Richard's book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, offers a roadmap for rebuilding our culture with love and connection at its heart. As he said, “When we engage the world, we are coming from that deeper connected perspective.”For those interested in this vision, Richard's book is available at richardflyer.com. By embracing his ideas, we can take steps toward realizing this symbiotic age together.tl;dr:Richard Flyer shares a 20-year journey to create a symbiotic culture of intentional mutual benefit.He explains how his book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, challenges the myth of separation in society.Richard highlights community-building efforts, including crime reduction and micro-financing initiatives.He describes his superpower: recognizing the intrinsic divinity or goodness in every individual.Richard provides actionable advice for fostering connection and building a culture of mutual benefit.How to Develop Recognizing the Divinity in Others As a SuperpowerRichard's superpower is the ability to see the divinity—or intrinsic goodness—in everyone. He explained, “The superpower is to see the truth that we're all made in the image of God…underneath all of the apparent polarization.” This perspective allows him to bridge divides and unite communities, focusing on the shared humanity that connects us all. Richard emphasized that this principle applies universally, regardless of one's spiritual or secular beliefs, making it a powerful tool for fostering connection and collaboration.Richard shared a transformative story of overcoming his personal biases to unite his community. In Reno, Nevada, he recognized his antipathy toward religious organizations was limiting his ability to include them in community-building efforts. To address this, he spent a year visiting various religious and spiritual groups, from Christian churches to Buddhist sanghas. This experience helped him see individuals beyond their labels, fostering greater understanding and collaboration. This shift enabled him to unite diverse groups to address shared challenges.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Attend events hosted by organizations or people you may disagree with to foster understanding.Practice small, intentional acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for others.Consciously remind yourself of the shared humanity in everyone, even those with opposing views.Reflect on personal biases and take steps to overcome them for greater connection.By following Richard's example and advice, you can make recognizing the divinity in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It integrates insights from community development, economics, spirituality and faith traditions, and living systems to help people move beyond polarization toward shared purpose and practical collaboration. Rather than advancing ideology or top-down solutions, Symbiotic Culture emphasizes connecting the good already present in local communities—linking people, initiatives, and institutions so they can work together more effectively through shared values and virtues such as trust, mutual responsibility, and care. The work holds that lasting social renewal is both practical and spiritual, beginning not with systems alone but with people learning how to live, work, and solve problems together in meaningful ways.Website: richardflyer.comBiographical Information: Richard Flyer is an author, community-builder, and faith-rooted cultural strategist whose life's work bridges science, spirituality, and civic renewal. Trained as a biologist, he studied pilot whale and dolphin communication at UC Santa Cruz and San Diego State before earning an M.S. in Biology. His grounding in living systems science later became the foundation for Symbiotic Culture—a framework that integrates spiritual insight with practical tools for regenerative community life.Richard's career spans health, education, and grassroots leadership. He pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs in Nevada hospitals, taught in community colleges and detention facilities, and led nonprofits including the San Diego Food Bank, Neighbors United, and the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative. Internationally, he served with Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, supporting a national network of over 5,000 communities. His work draws inspiration from Jesus and the early church, Gandhi's village republics, and Václav Benda's idea of the Parallel Polis.For Richard, following Jesus is not about dogma, but about daily practice—learning to embody love, reconciliation, hospitality, and neighborliness in a divided world. He sees in Jesus not only the center of his faith, but a bridge across traditions, calling people into deeper connection and shared responsibility.Today, through Symbiotic Culture, Richard mentors leaders across faith, civic, and cultural spheres. In Birthing the Symbiotic Age, he offers a vision for a Global Commonwealth of 50,000 empowered communities—a parallel society rooted in love, justice, and mutual flourishing. He lives on O‘ahu, Hawaii with his wife Marta, drawing renewal from the islands, time with family, and the simple joy of Connecting the Good wherever he goes.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/richard-flyer-6820727Personal Twitter Handle: @Richard_Flyer Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/richard.flyerInstagram Handle: @richard.flyerSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Have you ever noticed how certain lighting instantly makes you feel edgy - like your eyes get tired, your head feels busy, and your patience disappears faster than usual?This episode wasn't part of the original plan for the Safety Series, but it felt important enough to add.Because in this one, I'm talking about something we rarely connect to hormones, or PMS: the way your eyes take in light all day long. You might be surprised to learn how that small light bulb in your bedroom can actually keep your brain working overtime. The screens we stare at, even just to relax, and the constant visual input our brains are trying to process, can quietly pile on stress without us ever connecting the dots.Over time, that extra demand can show up as irritability, low energy, and even ADHD-like symptoms, especially later in your cycle.A few things I talk through in this episode:Why your eyes can keep your nervous system switched on even when you're restingHow certain types of light quietly make PMS and overwhelm feel worseSimple, affordable changes that can help your brain wind down at nightThis conversation is practical, gentle, and very doable. No perfection needed. And no expensive bio hacks either.Listen in, take what feels doable, and remember: even small changes in what your eyes take in can make a meaningful difference over time.Download the new 20-min private podcast training - Simply Nourished CyclesBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

This week we're discussing Approaching the New Year with Stability. When life feels chaotic in the middle of already full days, solo parents can slip into survival mode just trying to keep everything from falling apart. That constant reactivity wears down our nervous systems, impacts how we show up for our kids, and leaves little room to breathe or think clearly. This conversation focuses on why stability matters so deeply for single parent families and how small, intentional choices can create steadiness at home, in our minds, and in our daily rhythms. Robert Beeson and Elizabeth Cole are joined by author and single parent Marissa Lee to explore practical ways stability can grow even when life feels unpredictable. Today, we cover three main points: Creating stability at home starts with support. A stable home begins with a steady mind.  Intentional rhythms anchor chaotic days.  Stability does not require perfection or rigid control. Small, repeatable patterns build trust over time. Presence matters more than length of time. A regulated parent creates a more regulated environment. When expectations are realistic and rhythms are clear, both parents and kids gain room to breathe.

Most people don't lose their power overnight—they slowly forget who they are. This message reveals what happens when identity is stolen… and how it gets restored. Most people don't lose their power in a dramatic moment. They adapt. They adjust. They survive. And over time, they forget who they were always meant to be. In this message, Eric Thomas exposes what happens when people forget they're royalty—how identity gets robbed quietly, how survival replaces authority, and why remembering who you are changes everything. This isn't about hype. It's about identity, responsibility, and living from who God intended you to be—not beneath it. If you've ever felt like you're living below your potential, shrinking to fit environments, or settling for less than what you know you're capable of… this message is for you.

New @greenpillnet pod out today!

Ever feel like you're talking… and it goes straight through your kid's ear and right out the other? This week in part 2 of our series we're calling "From Overwhelmed to Intentional," Kent and Lawson get super practical about communication with your kids, especially in the teen years.   You'll be challenged to consider why "Why won't they listen?" might be the wrong question, how your posture and timing matter more than your volume, and why listening is not weakness, it's leadership leverage. Lawson shares a real story from a weekend with his daughter in New York that reframed how he shows up in deeper conversations. Kent breaks down how to season hard conversations with grace (Colossians 4:6), ask questions that are not "gotchas," and trade control for influence so your kids learn to listen to God, not just comply with you.   If you want the kind of relationship where your kids, no matter the age, want to talk to you, this is a deposit worth making.   Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

Five years ago, In The LOOP started with an iPhone, a truck seat, and a simple desire to tell stories that mattered. Today, it's grown into a platform with over 250 episodes, a loyal community, and a new chapter as part of the Cowboy Channel.In this solo reflection episode, In The LOOP Podcast host Jordan Jo looks back on the journey — from the early days of breakaway roping's professional rise to the moments, conversations, and people that shaped the heart of the show. She shares how rodeo opened doors, introduced lifelong friendships, and ultimately laid the foundation for a podcast rooted in storytelling, curiosity, and faith.Jordan Jo also pulls back the curtain on what's ahead. As 2026 begins, In The LOOP is entering a more intentional season — one focused on deeper, wiser conversations and the pursuit of bold goals within the Western industry. This year's episodes will center on women who are building, leading, competing, and evolving — both inside and outside the arena — alongside the men who support, challenge, and champion them.From navigating identity and leadership to building businesses, making hard decisions, and celebrating wins we don't talk about enough, this episode sets the tone for what's next: honest dialogue, courageous questions, and conversations that matter.If you've been here since the beginning — or you're just joining — this episode is an invitation to step into the next chapter together.

In this episode of the Care Ministry Podcast, host Laura Howe sits down with Mark Strickland and Matt Timpson from Milton Bible Church to explore what intentional, sustainable care looks like in a mid-sized church. Together, they unpack why Milton Bible has chosen to remain “decidedly mid-sized,” how administration can strengthen (not replace) relationships, and how care systems can support people without becoming cold or program-driven. The conversation offers practical insight into connect groups, prayer pathways, boundaries in care, documentation, and building a culture where people are truly seen—without trying to meet every need alone. Quotes “Administration should feed ministry and feed what's pastorally happening in the church—not the other way around.” — Matt Timpson “We don't want to just go wide. We want to go deep.” — Matt Timpson “When you get beyond a certain size, the organic care that once happened naturally starts slipping through the cracks, and systems help bridge that gap.” — Mark Strickland “You can have great systems, but if people aren't actually engaging with other people, something essential is missing.” — Mark Strickland“Care doesn't mean solving the problem. It means walking with people and connecting them to hope.” — Laura Howe Resources Care Ministry Cohorts Milton Bible Church Connect with Hope Made Strong Website: HopeMadeStrong.org Socials: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter – YouTube

What if building wealth was not about money but about the life and impact you leave behind? Morgan Nichols believes legacy is not something you build at retirement. It is something you create every day through intentional decisions, values-based planning, and clarity around what truly matters. In this episode of Grow Your Business & Grow Your Wealth, Gary Heldt sits down with Morgan Nichols, CEO and Private Wealth Advisor of LifeBranch Wealth Partners, for a powerful conversation about intentional legacy, business ownership, succession planning, and the emotional side of financial decision-making. Morgan shares her journey into leadership, stepping into business ownership at 31 during one of the most volatile financial markets in modern history. She explains why real financial planning goes far beyond portfolio management and why business owners need coaching, clarity, and long-term strategy to build wealth with purpose. This episode is a masterclass in intentional growth, values-driven success, and creating a legacy that lasts for generations. Five Key Takeaways  - Legacy is built through daily decisions, not just financial outcomes True wealth is measured by the values you live by and the impact you create along the way.  - Business owners need a coach, not just an advisor The best financial planning goes deeper than statements and portfolios. It provides holistic guidance and decision support.  - Intentional planning replaces uncertainty with clarity Strategic planning removes the fog of uncertainty and gives business owners confidence in their future.  - Succession and contingency planning protect your family and your business Preparing for the unexpected ensures your family is protected and your business continues smoothly.  - There is no perfect balance. Only priorities Life is about choosing which priority takes the front seat in each season. Featured Quote “When you have an intentional legacy, it is realizing that all the money in the world does not necessarily add meaning to one's life. It is really all the decisions that you make along the way.” - Morgan Nichols If you are a business owner or professional who wants to build wealth with purpose and create a legacy that lasts, this episode is for you.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Heather R. Younger. CEO, workplace culture expert, author, and founder of a major employee engagement consultancy—joins Rushion McDonald to discuss leadership, employee empowerment, navigating fear, and self‑leadership in modern workplaces. She shares her personal experiences with layoffs, career uncertainty, anxiety, and leadership failures—and how these experiences shaped her mission to be “the voice for the voiceless” in organizational culture. They explore the emotional realities of layoffs vs. terminations, how employees can take control of their professional well‑being, and Heather’s framework for identifying and overcoming fear. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW 1. To introduce Heather’s work and mission She champions active listening, employee empowerment, and self‑leadership after personally reading 30,000+ employee surveys and leading 100+ focus groups. 2. To teach listeners how to navigate workplace uncertainty She provides strategies for dealing with anxiety, job insecurity, change, and inconsistent leadership climates. 3. To share an empowering message about self‑leadership Central idea: No one is coming to save you. You must lead yourself first. 4. To explore how fear holds people back professionally She outlines how fear affects decision‑making, action-taking, and confidence. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Why She Does This Work She witnessed firsthand how mergers, layoffs, and poor communication harm employees. After being laid off with 200+ others, she realized she needed to become the “voice of reason” who turns employee concerns into actionable insights for leaders. 2. Layoff vs. Termination — Emotional Differences Layoffs: painful but less shame; not personal fault. Termination: usually involves personal accountability, and often carries more shame. Both create a feeling of powerlessness, but each requires emotional processing and reframing. 3. No One Is Coming To Save You Employees must take responsibility for: Their growth Their mental health Their career progression Their emotional well‑being HR cannot save you, Heather says—they play a dual role and cannot be personal rescuers. 4. Managing Workplace Anxiety Key strategies include: Nightly reflection → Write down what went well and what you controlled. Reframing → Turning irrational fears into rational thoughts. Breathing, sunlight, walking, self‑care → Especially for anxiety. Intentional mindset‑switching → Choosing thoughts that serve you. 5. The Five Ways Fear Holds You Back Professionally Heather identifies several fear patterns: 1. Fear of Feedback Avoiding action because you’re afraid of what others may say. 2. Fear of Retribution / Getting in Trouble Hesitating to take risks or initiative. 3. Fear of Speaking Up Not challenging authority or expressing dissenting opinions due to lack of psychological safety. 4. Fear Rooted in Family / Cultural Conditioning Inherited fear patterns from parents, grandparents, or trauma. 5. Fear of Regret / Non‑Action She teaches a powerful question: “What will I regret the longest—doing the thing or not doing the thing?” This question accelerates decision‑making and breaks the paralysis of fear. 6. Take Ownership of Your Life — Self‑Leadership Become the Chief Iterator of Your Life → Continue refining yourself like a living prototype. Accept mistakes as part of growth. Avoid perfectionism; aim for continuous improvement. 7. Practical Daily Habits Prepare mentally each night. Hydrate, sleep well, move your body. Train yourself to take small positive actions daily. NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Self‑Leadership “Ain’t nobody coming to save me. And in the workplace, no one’s coming to save you.” On Fear “Feedback is a gift—even if it hurts.” “We sit around waiting for green lights, access, invitations… It’s not coming. We need to seize it.” “What is the thing you will regret the longest—doing it or not doing it?” On Navigating Change “You get to fight tooth and nail for your own mental space.” On Personal Growth “See yourself as a work in progress—a constant iteration.” On Workplace Emotions “With layoffs, you didn’t have a hand in it. With termination, there’s more shame.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Since its inception, accesso's virtual queuing has saved more than 4.5 billion minutes of wait time, freeing guests to pack their day with more rides, eats, and excitement. The result? Happier guests who spend more and a better bottom line for you. Ready to turn waits into wins? Visit accesso.com/ROIClinic. The queues are virtual. The results are real. Clay Talley is the founder of CX Immersive. He shares how his career began in water parks, expanded through the Disney College Program as a Jungle Cruise skipper, and evolved into building and implementing cohesive guest experiences across immersive projects like The Void, Ballast VR, and more. Today, he supports operators and visionaries as an implementation specialist, bridging silos like marketing, operations, and revenue so the experience feels consistent from the website to the exit gate. In this interview, Clay talks about intentional world-class experiences, vision-first, and staff as sherpa. Intentional world-class experiences “I think world-class means intentionality. What are you intentionally creating for that guest?” Clay frames “world-class” as doing things on purpose, not by accident. He explains how teams can unintentionally become reactionary, building policies around one-off situations, and how that mindset can waste effort and muddy the experience. His goal is to move organizations toward proactive design, where decisions are guided by what will reliably serve most guests, not edge cases. He also emphasizes that intentionality shows up in practical details. From simplifying ticket sales on mobile, to designing guest flow, to using elements like staffing placement and sensory cues, he sees “world-class” as repeatable, scalable, and aligned across touchpoints, while still supporting revenue, branding, and operations. Vision-first “Before I make any strategies or the plan we're going to do, I want to understand where are they at, what do they want to do, and where is that delta?” Clay explains that a strong guest experience starts by clarifying what the organization is trying to create, then aligning people and processes around it. In his fractional CXO approach, he begins by learning the current state, understanding the desired future, and identifying the gap. He shadows leaders, observes the operation firsthand, reviews documentation, and pressure-tests the journey like a guest would, including the digital path to purchase. From there, he prioritizes low-hanging fruit that builds momentum and sustainability. The vision becomes the anchor, and the work becomes translating that vision into what guests and staff actually see, feel, and do each day, in ways that are realistic for the business to maintain. Staff as a sherpa “They're the sherpa of the experience, where they're climbing this mountain and they, you know, create this experience.” Clay describes a balancing act between technology and people. He wants technology to handle what guests can do on their own, freeing staff to focus on what only humans can do, especially solving problems and creating connections in key moments. In his view, the worst scenario is pushing guests into impersonal systems when they need help, while staff are stuck in roles that don't allow them to truly guide the experience. The sherpa metaphor becomes a standard for frontline purpose. Staff are not just performing tasks; they're guiding guests through the journey, noticing pinch points, stepping in with confidence, and making the experience feel cared for, consistent, and memorable.   Clay welcomes connection requests and DMs on LinkedIn, and you can email him at clay@CXimmersive.com.

He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.   Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

I just spent 30 minutes recording this episode only to realize I never actually pressed record—and honestly, that pretty much sums up how the first two weeks of January have felt!  But here we are jumping into another episoide of The Fearless Female Entrepreneur Podcast. No matter what life throws at you, if you strategize to take into account the rough moments, you won't feel like you're failing. That is what we are talking about today -the Quarterly Plan. After years of throwing spaghetti at the wall, failing to stick to a plan, always feeling like life (and the entire world and people around me) were in the driver's seat, I realized I needed an approach to planning my life that would put my dreams first. I needed a planning method that made my vision for my life the priority. A plan I could adjust when like is well..life-ing. But I also needed system that ditched the overwhelm and turned the "daunting as heck" yearly plans into intentional quarterly milestones that actually feel doable . I'll walk you through how I'm planning my own podcast episodes, my new journal launch, and even my goal to "date myself" more—all while protecting my energy from brain fog and fatigue . It's time to stop second-guessing ourselves and start taking bold, consistent action that leaves plenty of room for naps and real life.  Grab your BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner (see below) or a pen and paper and lets start planning! __________________________________________________________ Resources Created for You: The BECOMING Quarterly Journal and Planner: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/vhbzuv5sg4 Past Year Reflections Workbook (corresponds to this episode): https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/pastyearreflections Future You Guided Visualization: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/futureyou The Vision Board Workbook: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/visionboardworkbook 31 Day Mindset and Confidence Journal: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/mindsetandconfidencejournal The FREEDOM Masterclass - A 3-Part Video Series to Break Free and Confidently Create the Freedom-filled Life You Desire: https://katerinakormas.com/life-of-freedom-masterclass/ The BECOMING Masterclass - Get what you truly want in life and business and become a perfect match for inevitable success: https://katerinakormas.myflodesk.com/becomingmasterclass Website: https://katerinakormas.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katerina.kormas Did you hear something you loved today? Leave a review, so others know what to expect from the show!

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz catch up after a chaotic start to the new year and talk about what it actually looks like to slow down without losing their minds. they unpack travel burnout, the pressure to always be on the move, and the realization that building your entire schedule around workout classes, waitlists, and cancellation fees might not be the healthiest lifestyle choice. from embracing solo gym time to treadmill editing and the ongoing Pilates discourse, the girls share what routines feel sustainable right now, and which ones quietly make life harder than it needs to be.as always, the episode naturally drifts into a classic B**ching Hour™️, covering the annoyances that shouldn't matter but absolutely do. Halley vents about unnecessary rush fees and timing mishaps, while both girls spiral over delayed luggage, winter trips being impossible to pack for, and the stress of brand travel when your jacket is basically your entire outfit. they also talk about reading podcast comments, dealing with online opinions, and the mental balance of appreciating positive feedback without letting praise, or criticism, get too personal.the episode wraps with nostalgia that you probably will relate to as well, from teenage sleepovers, fake IDs, Four Lokos, and sneaking alcohol to the unmatched joy of girls' nights before men became the center of everything. they touch on dogs, adoption realities, new hobbies that may or may not last, and the shared delusion that this year is somehow going to be the one. nothing groundbreaking, just a very real, very Halley & Jaz episode.Timestamps 0:40 - Intentional traveling 8:30 - Bitching hour 16:68 - Podcast comment section 33:41 - Jaz's new hobby 40:15 - Our first drinks 54:46 - What is the most annoying quality anyone could have 56:24 - Hinge prompts Links Apartments.com - apartments.comBlissy - blissy.com/diaries code DIARIES for an extra 30% off Dime Beauty - dimebeauty.com and use code PODCAST20 for 20% off Nutrafol - Nutrafol.com/delusional for $10 off your first month's subscription and free shippingProgressive Insurance - progressive.com Quince - quince.com/delusional for free shipping and 365 day returns See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's January, and you've made the decision to get divorced. The question now isn't whether you're moving forward. It's how. This is the phase that requires strategy, not emotion. Not because your emotions don't matter. They do. But right now, clear thinking matters more than anything else. In this solo episode, I share three things to help you formulate your strategy so you can move forward without creating unnecessary chaos, expense, or regret.  January is not a sprint. It's an orientation phase. This is the moment to shift your emotions into the passenger seat and let your strategic mind drive as you get clear on the reality you're in, gather the right information, and begin building the right team in the right order. Waiting until after the holidays to move forward with divorce wasn't a delay. It was a boundary. Moving forward with intention now can protect you and your children long after the paperwork is signed. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why January is an orientation phase, not a race to file What patterns in conflict, money, and boundaries matter most before divorce begins What financial information to quietly gather now How to think about custody awareness without rushing or overcorrecting Why strategy should come before calling an attorney and how that saves time, money, and emotional fallout Resources & Links: Get Your Curated Podcast PlaylistFocused Strategy Sessions with Kate The Divorce Survival Guide Resource BundlePhoenix Rising: A Divorce Empowerment CollectiveKate on InstagramKate on FacebookKate's Substack Newsletter: Divorce Coaching Dispatch The Divorce Survival Guide Podcast Episodes are also available YouTube!

Simple Goals That Actually Work for Moms Series: Stop Setting Goals That Don't Fit Your Life. | Routines, Schedules, Time Blocking, Time Management, Habits, Plan, Productivity, Yearly, Planning, Quarterly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, Planner, Purpose, Intentional, Self Care, Self Improvement358. Simple Goals for Moms Series: (Ep. 2 of 3)"Stop Setting Goals That Don't Fit Your Life".Have you ever hit a goal and still felt empty? Or quit a goal and felt like you failed - even though it never fit your season to begin with? That's not a discipline issue, it's misalignment. In today's episode we're diving into what misalignment is in order to help us better see and understand what true alignment looks and feels like, why it's important to filter all of our goals through the core of who we are, and how to make it happen. So if you have found yourself caught in the trap of guilt, comparison, pressure and more… don't worry friend, you're not alone - we all face these challenges when setting goals each year. Listen closely - goals simply just don't stick when they aren't directly connected to our IDENTITY. When we start setting goals that are identity focused and NOT for us to become just like “Suzie down the street” - that's where the magic happens. So if you're ready to get in alignment, true alignment with the core of who you really are and the woman you're striving to become - then grab that pen and paper, pop those ear buds in and let's dive into the second episode in the “Simple Goals That Actually Work for Moms” Series. P.S. Keep tuning in to hear what's coming up this year and the BIG NEWS we are about to leak out on the podcast! Get excited for something spectacular to happen for High Five Motherhood!Keep on Thriving Mama!XO, Kim Website: www.highfivemotherhood.com

Send us a textWhat if a few words and a simple image could reshape how students treat each other—and how they feel about themselves? We dive into bucket filling, a plain-language framework that sparked a global kindness movement. Grounded in the CASEL competencies and early brain research, this approach replaces vague advice with three clear rules: be a bucket filler, try not to dip, and use your lid.Carol McCloud, president of Bucket Fillers Academy and author of 11 children's books, shares how the metaphor took root in classrooms and homes, why it resonates from preschool to adults, and how “fill more, dip less, use the lid” becomes a daily rhythm. We talk through scaffolding the concepts by age, from concrete acts of kindness to the advanced skill of setting boundaries. Carol offers ready-to-use ideas: a 30-minute eye-to-eye affirmation circle that changes classroom tone, a daily pledge that keeps the habit top-of-mind, and family rituals that ask, “Whose bucket did you fill today—and what filled yours?”Expect data as well as heart. You will hear how one principal, once skeptical, watched behavior referrals fall by 68% after tracking witnessed kindness with classroom buckets and school-wide action. We also explore how the language reframes bullying as a behavior to be changed, not an identity to be assigned, helping students respond with empathy, accountability, and self-control. Along the way, Carol points to free posters, songs, and multilingual tools at bucketfillers101.com to make the practice stick across mornings, group work, and conflict resolution.If you believe culture drives learning, this episode gives you a shared vocabulary, practical routines, and the science-backed reminder that tiny acts create big ripples. Subscribe, share with a colleague, and leave a review to help more educators and families discover tools that make kindness visible. What bucket will you fill today?

In this episode we discuss Pro Audio Minimalism.In This Episode, We Discuss:Pro audio minimalism focuses on efficiency and workflow.Post-pandemic, many have adapted to home studios.Stripping down gear can lead to better productivity.Quality of work is not determined by the amount of gear.The bell curve illustrates the journey of audio engineers.Social media can exacerbate gear obsession.It's important to focus on skills rather than equipment.Minimalism can reduce stress in the creative process.Finding balance in audio engineering is crucial.Personal interests outside of audio can influence spending. Being debt-free allows for better control over finances.Intentional communication can streamline workflows and reduce confusion.Minimalism in workflow can lead to increased efficiency.Decluttering can help identify unnecessary subscriptions and expenses.Applying minimalism to business practices can enhance focus and productivity.The thrill of the hunt can lead to unnecessary clutter if not managed.Intentional equipment purchases can prevent buyer's remorse.Every purchase has a domino effect on workflow and finances.Embracing whimsy can make minimalism enjoyable and fulfilling.Sharing resources can benefit others and reduce personal clutter.Links and Show Notes:Joe's SiteJoe on WCA #329Matt's Rant: Credits:Guest: Joe CaithnessHost/Engineer/Producer: Matt BoudreauWCA Theme Music: Cliff TruesdellThe Voice: Chuck Smith

Why do 92% of New Year's resolutions fail? Because most of us are chasing goals that sound good instead of goals rooted in who we truly are. In this game-changing episode, I sit down with Chris Bailey—bestselling author of Intentional: How to Finish What You Start—to completely reimagine how we set and achieve our goals. You'll discover: Why SMART goals are often less effective than doing nothing at all (yes, really) The 12 fundamental human values that drive everything you do—and how to identify yours Why waking up at 4 AM has zero correlation with success (backed by research) How to know when quitting a goal is actually the smartest move The "Rule of Three" that will transform your daily productivity Chris breaks down the science of goal attainment in a way that's practical, tactical, and deeply personal. This isn't about hustle culture or Instagram productivity hacks. It's about aligning your goals with your core values so you actually want to finish what you start. Chris Bailey is a productivity expert whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and TED. His books have been published in over 40 languages, and his new book Intentional is already a bestseller. If you're tired of setting goals you never finish, this episode is for you.

Chris Bailey is the bestselling author of The Productivity Project, Hyperfocus, How to Calm Your Mind, and his newest release, Intentional.In this episode, Chris joins Andrew Coates to explore why so many capable, driven people still feel stuck, scattered, or unfulfilled—and how the issue is often not effort, but misalignment between goals, values, and intentions.Drawing from years of research and personal experimentation, Chris explains how clarity around values changes decision-making, why many popular productivity frameworks fail long-term, and how intention-based thinking can help you finish what you start and do more of what genuinely matters.IN THIS EPISODE, CHRIS SHARES INSIGHT ON:Why many people struggle with success despite working hardHow misaligned values quietly sabotage progressThe importance of getting clear on your core valuesHow to align goals with values for sustainable momentumThe 12 evidence-based primary goals people tend to pursueWhat an intention stack is and how to use oneWhy people are better at starting than finishingWhy goals are better viewed as predictions, not promisesThe importance of continual course correctionWhy the SMART goals framework lacks strong evidenceHow rigid goal-setting can hurt long-term successThe productivity and mental health benefits of meditationWhy letting your mind wander boosts creativityChris's personal experiences as a long-term authorAnd much moreI hope you will check out Chris's brand new book: IntentionalInstagram: @chrisbaileyauthCHAPTERS00:16 Meet Chris Bailey: Author and Productivity Expert00:57 Understanding Intentionality04:02 The Role of Values in Setting Intentions10:17 The Intention Stack: Aligning Values, Priorities, and Goals17:44 The Science of Goal Attainment26:49 Personal Practices for Emotional Wellbeing27:31 The Benefits of Meditation28:54 Strategic Use of Caffeine29:39 Sponsorship Aspirations31:05 Saying No to Stay Productive31:34 The Trap of Success34:19 The Power of Scatter Focus38:14 Book Sales and Expectations47:47 The Flaws of SMART Goals52:22 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode helped you think more clearly about what you are working toward, you can support the show by:Subscribing and checking out more episodesSharing it on social media (tag me — I will respond)Sending it to someone who feels busy but misalignedFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10 percent off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst – FREE Premium TrialDownload MacrosFirstDuring setup, answer: How did you hear about us?Type: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15 percent off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC – FREE 90 Day Trial (2 steps)Go to: https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know Andrew sent you

On this episode of La Plática, Josh and Sebastian discuss what their priorities are for 2026, how that affects the show, and why they're excited to be embarrassed.

Sometimes the advantage you need isn't more strength, more size, or more effort. It's knowing how to use what you already have. Show Notes In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor shares an unexpected lesson from a massage experience that turned into a powerful reminder about leverage, mastery, and intentional action. At first glance, the situation didn't make sense. A bigger body, a smaller masseuse, and a request for deep pressure. By all appearances, the odds didn't line up. But what followed was one of the most precise and effective massages Baylor had ever experienced. Not because of brute force, but because of skill, planning, and knowing how to use the tools available. That moment became a metaphor for how success actually works in life. Too often, we judge ourselves and others based on appearances, titles, or traditional expectations. We assume certain people can't get the job done because they don't look the part. But true professionals don't rely on circumstances. They rely on mastery. Baylor challenges you to rethink how you approach 2026. Do you actually know how you plan to get where you say you want to go, or are you hoping things work out? Hope is not a strategy. Leverage is. He breaks down the importance of taking inventory of your personal tool belt, your experience, your skills, your network, your mental toughness, and learning how to apply those tools with precision instead of panic.
