This episode is one of the most emotional and personal ones I've ever recorded. Last week, I watched my son step onto a Division 1 basketball court for the very first time — a dream he's chased for years… and a dream many said he would never reach. As I sat in the stands with 15,000 people around us, tears just fell. Not because of the game, but because I realized something powerful: our kids are always watching — even when we think they're not.In this episode, I open up about the unseen moments, the sacrifices, and the grit behind a dream that had every reason not to work… but did. And as I reflected on Bryce's journey, I realized that so much of who he became came from what he witnessed at home — the way I handled pressure, adversity, setbacks, and the work no one applauded.This isn't just about sports or parenting. This is about entrepreneurship. Leadership. Legacy. And the truth we often forget: we model our kids' default settings.If you're building a business, raising a driven kid, or stretching for the life you know you're meant for — this episode will hit home.✨ Things I Cover in This EpisodeHow our kids absorb our habits, reactions, and resilienceThe behind-the-scenes grind that built a D1 athleteWhat entrepreneurship and sports have in common (hint: everything)Why growth filters your circle — and why that's a giftThe real difference between teaching grit and living itHow to protect your energy and vision when others doubt youThree things you can do this week to model leadership at home and in businessIf this episode speaks to you, share it with a parent, an entrepreneur, or someone chasing a bold dream.

In this episode of The Strong Stoic, I'm joined by classicist and author Inger Kuin to dive deep into the wild, hilarious, and surprisingly practical life of Diogenes—the original Cynic and, in many ways, the “stress test” for Stoic ideas.We explore:Who Diogenes was and why his life still mattersWhy he chose to live in a jar, throw away his cup, and embrace radical simplicityHow his ideas flowed through Crates to Zeno, making him Stoicism's “intellectual grandfather”The difference between training your body vs punishing itHow temporary discomfort (no-spend months, cabin weekends, etc.) can build real resilienceCultural norms, door-holding in Canada, and why Diogenes cared more about justice than etiquetteCosmopolitanism and being a “citizen of the cosmos” instead of a slave to one culture's expectationsWhether Diogenes was “crazy” or just radically consistent with his philosophyThe tension between independence and human connection: why Diogenes avoided close attachments—and why Inger (and I) think that might throw the baby out with the bathwaterHow to examine your own motives honestly: are you saying “yes” for good, joy, or just money and status?We close with practical advice on bringing a bit of Diogenes into modern life without selling your house and moving into a barrel—by questioning your motives, experimenting with less comfort, and rethinking the weight you give to externals.Guest & BookInger's new book, Diogenes: The Rebellious Life and Revolutionary Philosophy of the Original Cynic, is out November 11, 2025 and available wherever you buy books (hardcover, e-book, and audiobook).

Most people crumble the second someone hurls an insult their way. You, me, everyone. But this short episode throws a Zen-sized wrench into that reaction with one of the simplest, hardest truths in spiritual awakening: You only suffer when you accept the insult that was handed to you. Will reads “The Gift of Insults,” a powerful parable from The Monk and the Butterfly that reveals why your peace isn't actually as fragile as you think...it's just mismanaged. And then he goes off-script into a raw, honest reflection on triggers, the pain-body, energy dynamics, and why letting people “take your peace” is a decision… not an inevitability. This is one of those deceptively small episodes that lands like a tuning fork in your chest. What You'll LearnWhy insults are “gifts”, and how not accepting them changes everythingHow your pain-body hijacks your reactions (thanks, Eckhart Tolle)Why people try to steal your energy, and how offering it freely disarms themA practical approach to staying grounded when someone comes at you sidewaysHow triggers point to deeper inner work you've been avoidingWhy protecting your peace is a skill… and one you probably haven't mastered yeWill digs into:How this same lesson plays out with his daughterWhen “not accepting the gift” becomes spiritual bypassingWhy understanding the energetics behind conflict changes how you handle itHow to stop giving away your power without becoming cold, detached, or numbWhy This Matters If you're on a spiritual path, you're going to be challenged, often by the exact people who know how to push your buttons. This episode gives you the framework to stop getting dragged around by other people's emotional chaos. It's not about perfection. It's about awareness. Control. Choice. Perfect For You If:You're tired of absorbing other people's crapYou react too quickly and regret itYou're working on boundaries or emotional intelligenceYou're ready to level up your spiritual resilienceWant to Support the Show?

Happy Mindset MondayThis one's personal.In this solo episode, I open up about a struggle that's been part of my journey — learning to stop pretending everything's okay and to start embracing what's real.Too often, we push down emotions, hide behind “I'm fine,” and carry the weight alone. But the truth is, strength isn't found in perfection — it's found in honesty, reflection, and grace.

In this episode, I speak with Thomas Bradley, founder of Clann AI, a groundbreaking platform that uses advanced computer vision technology to analyse player positioning and team dynamics, offering powerful insights into game flow, strategy and performance. Clann is not only transforming access to elite-level analysis in sport, but is also creating community, connection and shared knowledge across all levels of the game.Alongside his work in sport-tech innovation, Thomas is also deeply engaged in exploring the nature of reality itself. With a background in physics, he has put forward a new hypothesis suggesting that at its most fundamental level, reality is composed of self-replicating units of information, called femes. If this is true, it implies that the laws of physics are not fixed or eternal, but alive, evolving and shaped by history.Together we explore:The evolution of technology and AI in human developmentHow sport can be a profound site of community, meaning and shared storyWhat it means to co-create with AI rather than fear itHow our personal and collective worlds are always in motion, always unfoldingThis conversation is an expansive dialogue about sport, science, consciousness and the ongoing evolution of humanity.

Ever find yourself thinking: “I should be further along by now”? Our society is so OBSESSED with finishing things… what if strength lives in what's still taking shape?I've been taking an adult learning programme on resilience at my old university, University College Cork,  and spending more time in my friend Juli's clay studio. There, I noticed: the clay pieces I tried to make perfect felt lifeless. The ones with flaws felt alive. This naturally led me back into the world of Wabi‑sabi — the Japanese aesthetic of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness — and how it mirrors resilience. In this episode, I walk you through:The cultural myth of “completion” and why we still chase itHow wabi-sabi challenges that mythWhat resilience really is — and how it shows up in softness not hardnessA short practice you can use this week to lean into being unfinishedIf you felt even a flicker of recognition in this episode, share it with someone who might need a reminder that perfection isn't the point — being alive is.

He went from running an agency funded by Nike at 26…to shifting everything — his team, his identity, his purpose.Now, he's back.And he's doing it his way.In this episode, Anthony — “The Young Nonno” — shares how he rebuilt his life and career after walking away from one of the biggest brand relationships in the world. From marketing for Nike to growing tomatoes in his backyard, he reveals how a small side project became a movement — and how he turned authenticity into a business.

"What does it mean to truly enjoy the fruit of your labor? Solomon teaches that this enjoyment is not the result of wealth itself, but a blessing from God.In Ecclesiastes 5:18 – 6:12, we see two people with the same material possessions — one finds joy, the other despair. The difference? One receives his labor's fruit with thanksgiving to God; the other lives for wealth and cannot enjoy it. This contrast reveals a profound biblical truth: to enjoy your work and its rewards is a divine gift, while to labor without joy is a curse.In this sermon, we explore:Why all things are vanity when lived apart from GodHow enjoying your work reflects God's covenant blessingsWhy some cannot enjoy their wealth — even when they have everythingThe danger of the “futility curse” and how Christ redeems itHow faith transforms labor and gratitude into worshipSolomon points us back to the Garden — and forward to redemption in Christ, who removes the curse of futility and restores us to the joy of fruitful labor.

"Can wealth ever truly satisfy the soul? Solomon says no — “He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver.” (Ecclesiastes 5:10) In this sermon, we consider what Scripture teaches about the deceitfulness of riches and the emptiness of living for wealth.Jesus said, “You cannot serve God and money.” Many think they can serve both, but Solomon shows us the folly of such a life: wealth cannot satisfy when you gain it, and it brings sorrow when you lose it. It promises peace but produces anxiety, darkness, and despair.True satisfaction comes only from serving God — the fountain of living waters — not from chasing what cannot fill the heart. As Augustine wrote, “You have made us for Yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they find rest in You.”In this sermon, you'll learn:Why the love of money is incompatible with serving GodHow the pursuit of wealth leads to vanity and anxietyWhy losing wealth is devastating to those who live for itHow true contentment is found in glorifying and enjoying GodWhat it means to use wealth rightly — as a tool for God's glory

High performance can create burnout and decision fatigue when your pace punishes your peace. In this episode, Julie Holly shows you how to slow down without losing your edge—so excellence becomes overflow, not exhaustion.You've done the work, built the success, and carried the weight. But lately, your pace feels heavier than your purpose. In this Saturday reflection of The Recalibration, Julie Holly guides you from concept to practice—from understanding peace to actually living it.Drawing on neuroscience and lived experience, she explains why information alone doesn't change people—embodiment does. When you've lived in performance mode for years, your nervous system forgets how to feel safe in stillness. That's why rest can feel like loss and peace can feel like pressure. But through repetition, not revelation, your body can learn that peace isn't weakness—it's strategy.You'll learn:Why high performers mistake stillness for stagnationHow to retrain your nervous system to feel safe when slowing downWhy peace actually sharpens your precision instead of dulling itHow to measure transformation by alignment, not outputBecause when excellence is rooted in identity, it stops draining you and starts defining you. That's the difference between high performance and high capacity—the difference between achieving for validation and creating from alignment.The Recalibration isn't another mindset tactic. It's the root-level identity work that makes every other tool finally work again.Micro Recalibration:“Where can I practice peace in motion today?”Maybe it's pausing before you reply. Maybe it's doing the same work—but from a grounded breath instead of a hurried one. You don't need to clear your calendar to recalibrate—just your posture.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Today we are talking about one of my favorite topics ever, the roots of attachment.Nature's answer to separation is not independence. It is connection. Deep, steady, invisible roots that help our kids and us hold on even when we are apart.In this episode, I talk about the six layers of attachment that Dr. Gordon Neufeld describes, from the first root of the senses all the way down to being fully known and loved for who we are.We talk about:How attachment deepens each year of a child's lifeWhy separation feels so hard and what to do about itHow to strengthen connection when your child pulls awayWhat it means to experience separateness without losing togethernessThink of this one like a gardening episode for the heart. We are learning how to care for the roots that keep us connected no matter the distance.Grab your tea, take a breath, and let's dig in. Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Why are young men in Gen Z facing a crisis of identity? And how do ancient flood myths from around the world support the Bible's historical truth?Joel begins with a moment of humble self-reflection, sharing why he took down a previous episode that didn't meet the Think Institute's high standards. Then he walks through the biblical case for why animals are not made in the image of God—and what makes human beings utterly unique in creation.You'll also hear Joel break down sobering new research on the identity crisis among Gen Z men, and how scripture engagement dramatically boosts confidence and purpose. Finally, he uncovers fascinating global flood legends—Aztec, Hindu, Chinese, and Babylonian—that actually confirm the biblical account rather than undermine it.In this episode, you'll learn:Why the Think Institute removed an episode about Pokémon and IsraelWhat it really means to be made in the image of GodWhy animals, though amazing, do not bear God's imageFrancis Schaeffer's powerful framework for understanding man vs. beastWhat's driving the Gen Z male identity crisis—and how to fix itHow knowing scripture transforms your view of yourselfWhy dozens of cultures around the world have similar flood storiesHow the Tower of Babel explains the spread of “myth”Why the biblical flood account is superior to all othersWhat Jesus and the apostles said about Noah's flood—and why it mattersTakeaways:You are not a beast. You are made in God's image.The Bible gives the clearest, truest picture of who you are.Identity isn't found in feelings—it's found in following Jesus Christ.The truth of scripture is not just spiritual—it's historical and global.Relevant Passages:Genesis 1:26–27, Psalm 139:13–14, 1 Corinthians 13:11, Proverbs 10:19, Romans 12:2, Matthew 24:37–39, 2 Peter 2:5Join the Hammer & Anvil SocietyIf you're ready to stop drifting and start building your life on the truth, join the discipleship community for men who want to lead in faith, family, and worldview.

Today on Worldview Legacy, Joel Settecase delivers a wake-up call for Christians navigating the cultural chaos of secular education, false religions, and faulty reasoning. Through the lens of Proverbs 9 and the solid foundation of God's Word, Joel explores what happens when we build our lives—and our worldviews—on anything other than Jesus Christ.Joel breaks down three key areas: the failure of public education to remain neutral, the internal contradictions of Mormonism, and how even logic itself demands a triune God. This episode equips listeners with biblical clarity and apologetic confidence to stand firm in the truth.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your intellectual "house" needs a rock-solid foundationHow public schools already promote a religious worldview (and it's not Christian)What “separation of church and state” really meant to the FoundersWhy neutrality in education is a myth—and what replaces itHow to engage Mormons using a 3-step Presuppositional approachWhy the three laws of logic point directly to the triune God of ScriptureThat all truth, wisdom, and knowledge are hidden in Jesus ChristKey Takeaways:There is no such thing as worldview neutrality—education is always discipleshipSecular humanism functions as the dominant religion in public education todayJesus must be the foundation of all true learning, not an optional additionMormonism collapses under the weight of its own theological contradictionsLogic reflects the mind and nature of the triune GodRemove Jesus, and you lose the ability to even account for truthJoin the Hammer & Anvil Society:The premier discipleship community for Christian men who want to master apologetics, pass on the faith, and build lasting legacies.

If you've ever felt frustrated with your body -- how it looks, how it feels, or how it functions — you're not alone. So many of us have treated our bodies like problems to solve or projects to perfect, believing that if we could just “fix” them, we'd finally feel whole. But what if the invitation isn't to control your body, but to care for it as the good gift God created it to be?In this episode, Jordan shares the heart behind her new book Be Good to Your Body and opens up about her own journey from striving and restriction to grace and stewardship. Through personal reflection and biblical truth, she helps us reframe how we view our bodies, moving from frustration and control toward freedom and trust in the way God designed us.What You'll Learn:Why your beliefs about your body shape your behaviors toward itHow “discipline” can quietly turn into self-punishmentThe difference between supporting and controlling your bodyHow to spot when wellness becomes an idolWhat Scripture says about your body as a good gift from GodOne mindset shift that can help you treat your body with grace, not guiltLinks:Grab Your Copy of Be Good to Your BodyFollow Jordan on InstagramGet 10% Off Crunchi using "ADVOCATE10" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When a relationship ends, it's natural to crave closure. We want answers, explanations, or one last conversation that will tie everything up neatly and help us move on. But the reality is, closure rarely comes from someone else — it's something we have to create for ourselves.In this episode, I share some hard but freeing truths about closure:Why the relationships that leave us most desperate for closure are usually the ones least likely to give itHow the idea of a “closure conversation” can sometimes be a hidden way of keeping the door openWhy even when we get answers, they rarely soothe us in the way we hopeThe difference between chasing closure from someone else versus cultivating it within yourselfPractical ways to create your own sense of closure and peaceIf you've been waiting for that message, that explanation, or that final conversation to make things better, this episode will help you see closure differently — and take back your power to move forward.Highlighted Links Free Break-Up Training: The 3 Shifts That Help Anxiously Attached People Heal After a Break-up Free Training: How to Heal Anxious Attachment and (Finally) Feel Secure in Life & Love Additional Resources Download the FREE Anxious Attachment Starter Kit here Join my email list
