Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

If you're a therapist who carries the weight of being the primary breadwinner while also wanting more presence, more ease, and more time with your family, this episode is for you. This isn't a conversation about hustling harder or squeezing more productivity out of already-full days. It's about slowing down enough to make values-based decisions—so your money, time, and energy actually support the life you want to be living.In this coaching-style episode, I sit down with Colleen Barrows, a perinatal mental health therapist, mom of two young children, and graduate of Money Skills for Therapists. Together, we walk through the very real tension Colleen is feeling between maintaining financial stability as the primary breadwinner, managing most of the household responsibilities, and wanting more meaningful one-on-one time with her kids—while also nurturing a creative passion project, which will help therapists and postpartum women, that she hopes may one day provide her with passive income.Choosing Time, Family, and Financial Stability as a Breadwinning TherapistLike so many breadwinning therapist moms, Colleen's “math brain” keeps telling her that the solution is to see more clients. She's currently carrying a heavy client load while also functioning as the household manager and emotional anchor at home. In this conversation, I gently guide Colleen through a reflective exercise—imagining herself years from now, looking back on this fleeting season of early parenthood—and we explore what choices she would feel most proud of when it comes to time, money, and energy.A Coaching Conversation for Breadwinning Therapist Parents(00:03:39) Balancing Passion, Time, and Family(00:12:99) Juggling Work and Household Finances(00:16:57) Balancing Careers and Relationship Equity(00:22:41) Quality vs. Quantity in Parenting(00:24:20) Seeking Balance and Intentionality(00:27:08) Household Roles and Compatibility(00:31:52) Balancing Breadwinning and Family(00:33:21) Money Clarity for TherapistsExploring Choices Around Time, Energy, and IncomeThis episode offers an honest look at the tension many therapist parents feel—between financial responsibility, private practice demands, and the desire to be fully present during a fleeting season of early parenthood. If you've ever felt pulled between money decisions and your deeper values, this conversation is for you.Key takeaways to reflect on:Balance isn't just math: Financial choices should support your well-being, not override it.Quality over quantity: Small, protected moments of connection matter more than constant presence.Revisit roles regularly: Sharing household labor and support can ease resentment and restore energy.Being the breadwinner often means carrying more than just the paycheck. This season of parenting young children is intense—but it's not permanent. With thoughtful, values-led choices, you can build a life you'll look back on with pride, not regret.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

In this episode of the Model FA Podcast, David DeCelle sits down with two fast-rising UK advisors, Sam Luke and Lawrence Bearman, to unpack how they're using LinkedIn intentionally and consistently to build real brand authority and drive booked appointments. They break down what worked early (a lot of outbound messaging), what changed everything (consistent posting), and why boosting top-performing posts can turn "pretty good" organic traction into a serious appointment engine—especially when your content speaks directly to a niche's real pain points (Amazon/AWS professionals and high-performing lawyers). What you'll learn How Sam and Lawrence got started in advice and found their niches The "messaging-first" phase vs. the moment posting finally clicked What types of content actually resonate on LinkedIn (and why "viral" isn't always the goal) Why boosting posts can be a no-brainer after you prove the message works organically The role of peer collaboration, accountability, and getting help from specialists to shorten the learning curve Connect with Sam: Website: https://www.westminster-wealth.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuel-luke-191331213/   Connect with Lawrence: Website: https://www.westminster-wealth.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/westminster-wealth-management/ --- About the Model FA Podcast The Model FA podcast is a show for fiduciary financial advisors.

This sermon introduces the new year series, "My Job Depends on Ag," using agriculture as a metaphor for spiritual growth. The pastor begins with a confession about struggling to trust God with finances (both for the church's summer camp and the Amigo Row building project) and how asking for help led to miraculous provision. He emphasizes that spiritual growth is not like technology—it doesn't happen instantly with the push of a button. Instead, it's like farming: slow, incremental, often invisible, and dependent on creating the right conditions.Scripture References1 Corinthians 3:18: "And we all... are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory."Romans 8:28-30: God's purpose is for us to be "conformed to the image of his Son."Luke 8:4-15: The Parable of the Sower, illustrating four types of soil and the importance of perseverance for a harvest.1 Thessalonians 5:23-24: "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it."Key PointsDon't Settle for Less: The pastor's confession highlights the temptation to settle when tired of contending. Whether in finances, relationships, or faith, God often calls us to press on rather than accept the status quo. We need community to spur us on when our own faith is weak.Growth is Like Agriculture, Not an App: Spiritual transformation is not a "zap" or a flash. It is organic, often invisible to the naked eye, and happens over time. Jesus used agricultural metaphors (soil, seed, harvest) because they accurately reflect how the Kingdom of God works.Intentionality vs. Accident: No one accidentally gets a great marriage, a fit body, or a deep relationship with Jesus. While growth ultimately comes from God (like a tree growing), we must be intentional about creating the conditions for that growth (planting, watering, tending). We cannot drift into spiritual maturity.The Parable of the Soils: Jesus explains that the same seed (God's Word) produces different results based on the soil of our hearts.Path: The enemy snatches the word away.Rocky Ground: No root; faith withers in testing.Thorns: Choked by worries, riches, and pleasures; does not mature.Good Soil: Hears, retains, and perseveres to produce a crop.ConclusionGod has a plan for your growth in 2026. He desires your transformation even more than you do. While we must be intentional, we can rest in the promise that "The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." We are invited to partner with Him, tending the soil of our hearts so that His Word can produce a harvest.Calls to ActionAssess Your Intentions: On a scale of 1-10, how intentional are you about your spiritual growth? Move from hoping for accidental growth to planning for intentional formation.Refuse to Settle: identify areas where you have stopped contending for God's best (marriage, health, faith) and ask Him for renewed faith to press on.Tend Your Soil: As we begin this series, prepare your heart to receive God's Word. Identify any "rocks" or "thorns" (worries, distractions) that might be choking your growth. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI.

In a world that often glorifies rugged individualism, finding real connection and mutual growth with others can feel elusive, especially when it comes to our closest relationships.

In this episode, you'll discover how building circles of collaboration can transform your personal relationships, family dynamics, and even your broader social and professional connections. Through real-life stories and practical strategies, you'll learn why trust, curiosity, and deep listening are so essential for building fulfilling partnerships. You'll also hear how taking intentional steps—like active listening, sharing vulnerability, and nurturing supportive communities—can help you experience more connection, resilience, and joy in every area of your life.

Practice deep listening: Be intentional about giving your full attention to your partner or colleague; don't interrupt or assume you know what they'll say. Ask curious questions: Show genuine interest by asking open-ended questions about feelings, experiences, and perspectives to foster connection. Build multiple circles of collaboration: Develop relationships beyond your intimate partnership—think family, friends, work, and community circles—to enrich your support network. Be intentional with connection: Choose to initiate deeper conversations with those you care about, rather than keeping interactions at a surface level. Cultivate generosity: Offer your time and listening ear generously; seek ways to support others, such as facilitating introductions or sharing helpful resources. Keep track of important issues: If topics arise that feel uncomfortable to discuss, jot them down and revisit them when the timing is better; don't let them slip away. Let go of perfection: Accept that not all relationships or collaborations will be perfectly reciprocal; allow space for difference and focus energy on relationships that foster growth and mutual support.   Mentioned Circles of Collaboration (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 301: How an Entrepreneur Couple Can Negotiate Love and Business Successfully — An Interview with Dr. Ellyn Bader 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free guide)   Connect with Leslie Grossman Website: Lesliegrossmanvision.com YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCqjD0Y4L0XVjzixocEsO8kw Instagram: instagram.com/lesliegrossmanvision LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lesliegrossmanleadership

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking for ways to build team culture? In this episode, Kevin Cheney, a law firm owner and co-founder, shares how intentional culture-building can be for a firm's growth. He explains why culture—more than marketing or processes—drives retention, recruitment, client experience, and resilience. He offers a practical three-step framework for leaders to assess, envision, and build their ideal culture.Kevin shares some steps to building culture for a firm. The first is what your culture is today. Be brutally honest with yourself and admit what you are doing right and wrong. Another thing is to think about the future of this culture. Map out a five year plan - what needs to change and how can you change it. From there, decide what is important for your firm to have in order to be successful. At the end of the day, a positive team culture drives retention and improves employee experience. It is important to ensure your employees bond so they can work better together. Create opportunities for your staff to connect. For Kevin, he organizes happy hours and potlucks as ways for employees to have some fun and disconnect. Another option is to organize team bonding activities that build confidence and trust. Ensure to make these optional so staff are not forced but encouraged to participate.Listen in to learn more!1:07 Intentionality in Marketing, Processes, and Culture2:27 Defining Culture in a Law Firm6:51 Three Steps to Building Culture10:40 Facilitating Employee Bonding13:29 Employee Ownership MentalityTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Kevin:Website  Facebook  Linkedin

Why do high-achievers feel perpetually behind, even while consuming more content than ever? In this conversation, Pat Flynn explains the trap of “overlearning” and how it quietly keeps us stuck in motion without progress. You'll learn how to shift from “just-in-case” learning to “just-in-time” learning, create real momentum with a simple four-step framework, and protect what matters most with practical boundaries. Along the way, Pat shares how these principles helped him build multiple successful businesses (including a Pokémon channel with millions of followers) without sacrificing his family, health, or joy.Memorable Quotes“We all, in a way, are not just our overlearning, but we're getting over-inspired. We're so connected with so many amazing people out there who teach us this and push us over here, and then we're pulled over this way. We're spread so thin it's we're we're not seeing any results in our own life.”“Now we all have access to all the same kind of information, but we're still treating it as if it's scarce…However, we now live in a buffet line of information… and we're not quite evolved to absorb all of this because we're stuffing our plates full. Not only are we getting bloated and and and slowed down, but we're also getting force-fed on these platforms.”“This is the difference between ‘just-in-case learning,' which is what we've all been doing, and ‘just-in-time learning,' which is learning what you need to know to just take that next step. Because truly the action of taking that next step, the results of that one way or another—whether there are good results or bad results—can teach you so much more than just absorbing this information and never taking any action at all.” “[Silence] allows me to be with myself and to digest the things that I've already learned, to think about my priorities and the things I've already committed to. It allows me to make creative connections between things that I have already picked up instead of just getting more puzzle pieces to try to figure out where they go.”“I mean I was always taught that again, ‘The more you know the more successful you'll be,' and there's always seemingly opportunities to inject more of that learning. And it has this sort of fake productivity that goes along with it, because it is only truly productive, in my opinion, when you actually put into action those things that you do read or listen to or watch.”“At our authors retreat, a theme across most of the people there was not optimizing for revenue, not optimizing for scale, but optimizing for peace. And that was huge to think about.”“If I give myself five months to learn, I'm gonna take five months to learn it. If I give myself five hours to learn, I'm gonna take five hours to learn it. So I almost use time as a tool to help me get to the point of action and then understanding sooner.”“I've developed this rule called the 20% Itch Rule, and that is, out of all the things you do, 80% of your time is dedicated to the things you've already committed to, the things that, the responsibilities you have, the things that you've already said, yes to. The last 20% of time, allocate for curiosity, for play, for experimentation.”Key TakeawaysOverlearning Is a Hidden Productivity Trap. Constant consumption creates a sense of progress without producing results—and often adds more “to-dos” than your life can hold.Shift from “Just-in-Case” to “Just-in-Time.” Learn only what you need for the next step, then take action. Real learning accelerates through doing.Use the 4-Step Lean Learning Cycle. Identify the next step → choose one resource → implement → review. Repeat.Silence Helps You Digest What You Already Know. Pat's “silent car” habit creates space for integration, creativity, and clarity.Watch for “Junk Sparks.” Many ideas are just distractions dressed up as opportunity—especially when algorithms reduce the friction to buy, click, or binge.Try the “20% Itch Rule.” Dedicate 80% of your time to current commitments and responsibilities, and reserve 20% for curiosity, experimentation, and play—without blowing up your life.Optimize for Peace, Not Scale. More revenue isn't always worth the hidden cost. A Double Win means there's still room for what makes you feel most alive.ResourcesSmart Passive Income (Pat's Business)Superfans (Book)Lean Learning (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/aLp6hHTrYQsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

​​Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://thriving-leader-2026.lovable.app/Instagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this powerful episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell sits down with Tyler Dickerhoof — dairy farmer, leadership coach, and founder of the Impact Driven Leader movement.Tyler brings raw honesty and hard-won insight to the conversation, unpacking how insecurities quietly shape the way we lead, connect, and communicate — often without us even realizing it. Drawing on decades of experience from dairy barns to boardrooms, Tyler reveals how to recognize your emotional blind spots, dismantle walls that limit growth, and lead from a place of wholeness and trust.This conversation goes beyond leadership theory — it's an unfiltered look at what happens when intensity becomes intimidation, when connection gives way to isolation, and how to reframe it all with empathy, clarity, and courage.Key Takeaways:1. Intentionality Starts with Purposeful ImpactBeing intentional isn't about perfection — it's about aligning your actions with the impact you want to create. Tyler defines it simply: “Be purposeful in action.” Every decision, word, and relationship either builds trust or breaks it.2. The Four Walls of InsecurityTyler introduces a groundbreaking framework that helps leaders identify how fear and insecurity show up in behavior. The four walls are:Intensity: When drive turns into domination.Inactivity: When fear paralyzes decision-making.Insensitivity: When protection becomes detachment.Isolation: When fear of judgment leads to hiding.Recognizing which “wall” you lean on most is the first step toward breaking through it.3. Every Problem Is a Relationship ProblemAs Mark puts it: “Every business issue traces back to a relationship issue.” Tyler expands on this, explaining that our ability to lead others directly mirrors our relationship with ourselves. Leaders who don't value or forgive themselves struggle to extend grace and connection to others.4. Empathy Without Boundaries Isn't Leadership — It's ExhaustionTyler warns that empathy, without limits, leads to burnout. True empathy requires clarity and boundaries — modeling what healthy leadership looks like instead of just preaching it.5. Intentional Leadership in the Age of OverloadFrom late-night texts to “always-on” expectations, Tyler and Mark challenge today's leaders to rethink boundaries. Intentionality means having systems and communication rhythms that protect both productivity and peace. If your team is burning out, it's not a workload issue — it's a leadership clarity issue.6. Choose to Be an Incubator, Not an IncineratorOne of Tyler's most memorable phrases: “I'd rather be an incubator than an incinerator.” Great leaders don't burn people out; they develop them. Building people means caring enough to challenge them, coach them, and let them grow — even if that means letting them go.Notable Quotes:“Be purposeful in action. Our actions create our results, and our results reinforce our beliefs.” – Tyler...

How did we pay for it?- Why most couples fight about money (and how to avoid it)- The truth about “financial infidelity” and secret accounts- How to build a marriage that supports BOTH your dreams- Why every couple needs a mission statement (not just love)- What it means to be a true provider in 2025- How to heal from past financial trauma and build together- If you're single, dating, engaged, or married—this episode is for you. Let's get it, family!MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:

In this episode of Sex Advice for Seniors, I had the pleasure of speaking with the remarkable Dr. Susan Campbell—psychologist, relationship coach, and author of Getting Real, The Couple's Journey, From Triggered to Tranquil, and many more. Susan is in her 80s and in a loving relationship with a partner also in his 80s, and we had an open and wonderfully honest discussion about what sex, intimacy, and connection look like in our later years. She shared how she met her partner online in their mid‑70s, what makes their relationship thrive, and how they've both redefined pleasure as their bodies continue to change with age.Susan's approach to intimacy is warm, playful, and I enjoyed our conversation immensely. We talked about how scheduling “love dates,” using mirrors, dancing, experimenting with new erogenous zones, and finding humour in the realities of ageing all help keep things fun and sensual. She reminded me that sex doesn't have to mean penetration to be satisfying - it's about staying curious, laughing together, and remaining open to new ways of giving and receiving pleasure. She even confessed that her orgasms are better than ever at 84, which gives all of us something to look forward to!What struck me most about Susan is her combination of wisdom and vulnerability. She spoke beautifully about accepting physical changes, supporting a partner through cognitive decline, and finding meaning and intimacy even as we experience loss. Her philosophy is all about honesty, compassion, and embracing life as it is — laughter, limitations, lust, and all. It's truly inspiring to see what intimacy in your 80s can look like when you stay connected through communication, humour, and love.00:00 Introduction to Aging and Sexuality02:40 Navigating Online Dating in Later Life05:32 The Evolution of Intimacy and Sexuality08:04 The Importance of Communication in Relationships10:47 Building Confidence and Resilience in Dating13:45 Exploring Sexuality Beyond Penetration16:15 The Role of Humor and Playfulness in Intimacy19:07 Addressing Vulnerability and Loss in Aging21:48 Intentionality in Sexual Relationships24:26 Exploring Alternatives to Penetrative Sex27:08 Creative Approaches to Intimacy29:46 The Power of Vulnerability and Honesty in RelationshipsHi, I'm Suzanne, author of the bestseller ‘The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir,' pleasure seeker and curious about ways to improve our intimate relationships as we age.Each week, I delve into a different aspects of sex, dating and relationships with an expert which I bring to you via the Sex Advice for Seniors podcast.Once a week, I write or invite a guest to write a more personal story, which could be in the form of an erotic experience, a sex toy review or perhaps a new perspective, typically behind a paywall.Alongside this Substack, I advocate for the right to sexual pleasure in later life through speaking engagements, attending conferences and other events, which your subscription helps to pay me to attend.Being a subscriber has multiple benefits for you:* Receive my book, ‘Sex Toys & Supplements for Thriving in Later Life'* Join my private chat where you can ask questions of a personal nature* Helping to contribute to the conversation around sex and sexual health in later lifeI'm grateful for each and every subscriber that pays £6.99 or £49.99 per year so do consider taking a subscription if you have the means to do so.Thousands of people are saying, I'm so grateful Suzanne has taken on one of the big taboos because I wouldn't have the confidence to do it.

The holidays promise joy and togetherness but for many couples, they also bring stress, busyness, and mismatched expectations. In this episode, we're helping you slow down, reconnect, and approach the season with intention. We talk honestly about why couples often drift spiritually and emotionally in December and offer simple, realistic ways to stay grounded in Christ and connected to each other. From aligning holiday expectations to creating meaningful traditions, you'll walk away with practical tools to cultivate peace, gratitude, and unity in your marriage. Whether this season feels exciting or overwhelming, this conversation will help you not just survive the holidays—but truly thrive together.   Episode Highlights: The holidays can magnify an already existing disconnect. When Christ isn't the center of the holidays and your marriage, both will suffer. True joy doesn't come from a full schedule. Quotes from Today's Episode: When we take our eyes off the true reason for Christmas—Christ—we get caught up in the world's chaos.  Don't abandon what nourishes your soul just because life gets hectic. The habits that sustain you all year are even more vital during the holidays. Keep your year-round rhythms strong—pray together, make time to communicate, and carve out quiet moments as a couple amid the December rush. Acts of generosity spark joy and deepen your connection. Intentionality is everything—if you aren't purposeful, the busyness will steal your time and memories.  Release the pressure to do it all—focus on what brings true joy to your family. Give yourself permission to let go of traditions that drain you, making room for new ones—or simply space to rest, bake cookies, and enjoy music by the tree.   Couple's Conversation Guide: 1. Which part of the holidays tends to be most stressful for each of us, and why? 2. Is there a simple spiritual practice we could commit to together this December?   3. Where do our expectations differ when it comes to gifts, gatherings, travel, or downtime? 4. What new tradition could we create this year that fits who we are as a couple right now?

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with longevity pioneer and author Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, founder of Gladden Longevity and a leading voice in human performance optimization.   Together, they challenge the cultural belief that aging is an inevitable decline and reveal how mindset, biology, technology, and purpose all intersect to determine how long (and how well) we live.   Dr. Gladden shares why aging is more of a mindset than a biological certainty, how purpose and spirituality directly impact health, and why the "questions you ask yourself" may be one of the most underrated longevity tools we possess.   The conversation dives deep into the nervous system, emotional fitness, relationships, AI advancements, and the future of biohacking, giving men a roadmap to living younger, stronger, and more intentionally for decades to come.   This is not a conversation about resisting aging. This is a conversation about redefining what's possible for the human experience.   Episode Highlights & Takeaways Aging is a mindset, not a destiny. Your beliefs about aging directly influence your biology and lifespan. Define your longevity goals early. Intentionality shapes the habits and systems that determine how well you age. Spirituality & purpose are longevity multipliers. Living aligned with meaning strengthens resilience, vitality, and emotional health. AI will revolutionize personalized health optimization. When used correctly, it can supercharge diagnostics, protocols, and prevention. The nervous system determines your youthfulness. Stress, trauma, and dysregulation accelerate aging more than most people know. Biohacking tools can support, but not replace foundational health. Tech is a supplement, not the solution. Your relationships shape your mental and physical longevity. Deep connection and emotional safety reduce biological aging markers. The quality of your questions defines the quality of your life. Better questions → better decisions → better outcomes. A fulfilling life is built on love and creation. Purpose, generosity, service, and self-expression deepen well-being at every age. Guest Bio:  Dr. Jeffrey Gladden Dr. Jeffrey Gladden is a visionary in human longevity, advanced performance, and regenerative health. A triple-board-certified interventional cardiologist turned longevity expert, Dr. Gladden spent decades at the forefront of cardiac innovation, co-founding the Heart Hospital Baylor Scott & White and developing leading cardiac programs across the country.   But it was his own battle with fatigue, brain fog, and declining vitality that pushed him to rethink traditional medicine and pursue a deeper truth: aging is not a fixed fate — it's a process we can influence, optimize, and even reverse.   Today, as the founder of Gladden Longevity, he leads a cutting-edge clinic that helps individuals "live young for a lifetime" through personalized diagnostics, breakthrough technologies, and his signature Symphony of Longevity framework. His bestselling book, 100 Is the New 30, challenges conventional beliefs about aging and explores what's truly possible when a person optimizes body, mind, purpose, and spirit.   Through his research, IRB-approved clinical trials, and global speaking, Dr. Gladden is on a mission to answer one profound question:   "How good can you be—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—as you age?"   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

In this episode of the Homeschool Dads series, David Nunnery talks with Isaac Tolpin, a seasoned parent and speaker, discussing the challenges and opportunities of courageous parenting. They explore the importance of intentionality in raising confident Christian children, overcoming fear in spiritual leadership, and the role of technology in modern parenting. The conversation emphasizes the need for fathers to take an active role in their children’s spiritual education and to prepare them for a rapidly changing world, including the implications of AI. David and Isaac also share practical advice for family devotions and navigating technology responsibly. Men’s Challenge: Together with your wife, create one new family rule or boundary in regards to media. Set clear boundaries after taking inventory for how media is affecting your family dynamic- video games, social media, phone distraction. Key Takeaways: Courageous parenting requires intentionality, commitment, and openly addressing uncomfortable topics (including technology). Spiritual Leadership: Fathers must actively lead the family, simplifying devotions to ensure they are effective and consistent. Navigating Technology & AI: Equip children to use tech and AI, focusing on open communication rather than isolation. Preparation for a tech-driven future is essential. Development Focus: Overcoming fear allows for effective leadership, and nurturing creative writing skills remains crucial for development.

Why do leaders jump so quickly to giving advice? And why does it so often backfire? In this episode, Michael Bungay Stanier explains why the “advice monster” is one of our biggest leadership liabilities—and how seven simple questions can help you listen better, coach smarter, and build stronger connections. Filled with humor, story, empathy, and practical scripts, this episode is a masterclass in everyday leadership.Memorable Quotes“When you ask a question and they actually have to think about it, you're literally creating new neural pathways in their brain—or at least they're creating their own neural pathways—so they're literally becoming smarter right in front of you.”“More deeply than an ‘answer,' much of the time people want to feel deeply heard, deeply seen, and deeply encouraged. And your ‘answer' often means they feel less seen, less heard, and less encouraged.”“One of the great moments of claiming adulthood is being clear on what you want to say ‘yes' to—and knowing that inevitably you have to say ‘no' to things to get that.”“Every time you jump in with your ideas and your opinions and your advice—particularly if it's your default reaction—you're basically reinforcing, ‘I'm better than you are. I'm smarter and wiser and older and faster and just generally better than you. You are not as good as I am.' There's a degree to which you're diminishing that other person rather than helping them.”“There's a time and a place where [giving advice] is the right thing to be doing. The way I define coaching is: Can you stay curious a little bit longer? Can you rush to action and advice-giving a little bit more slowly?”“One of the phrases I've started saying to people who are going through a tough time is simply, ‘I'm Team Michael. I'm Team Megan.…I'm Team whoever that person might be.' It's my way of saying, ‘I love you and I want the best for you, and I don't even know what to do—or I can't think of anything to do—so I'm just trying to be with you in this moment.'”“One of the questions that I've found most helpful—particularly if I'm the more senior person in the relationship—is: ‘What needs to be said that hasn't yet been said?'”Key TakeawaysThe “Advice Monster” Is Real. Our instinct to help by offering answers often diminishes others. Curiosity, not certainty, is what truly empowers people.Questions Create Ownership. When people generate their own ideas, they're more confident, more committed, and more capable.Seven Questions Change Everything. Michael's practical framework gives you a simple playbook for better conversations. His personal favorite? “And what else?”Curiosity Deepens Every Relationship. Parents, partners, bosses—everyone benefits when you resist the urge to fix and choose to listen instead.Better Conversations Start With Permission. Rather than assume what someone needs, lead with humility and ask: How can I be most useful here?Coaching Is for Everyday Life. You don't have to be a professional coach for this to matter. These tools transform team meetings, parenting moments, and even difficult conversations at home.ResourcesThe Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay StanierThe Advice Trap by Michael Bungay StanierHow to Work With (Almost) Anyone by Michael Bungay StanierBox of Crayons (Curiosity-driven leadership program)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/WOjq8aMbr5kThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

There's a difference between doing something because you can and doing it because it's aligned. In this episode, I'm sharing the evolution that's been unfolding for me behind the scenes — a season where everything I do has become intentional. Not perfect. Not curated. Not strategic for the sake of performance. But intentional. We're talking about: Why intentionality is emotional discipline, not aesthetic presence Choosing alignment over capability Refining leadership by closing what no longer matches who you're becoming How intention quietly shapes strategy, identity, communication, and growth Why perfection isn't the goal — devotion is Intentionality is the only thing we can truly control. And when it becomes the place we lead from, our business stops being a reaction and starts becoming a creation. If you're navigating a season of refinement, release, or deeper clarity — this one will land.
