In this minisode, Colleen distills emotional sobriety into its simplest form: learning to recognize when you're operating from your primal state versus your power state. Most of us spend our lives reacting to the world from old programming—patterns shaped by fear, pain, or the need for control—without realizing that we can pause, interrupt, and return to presence. She explains how to move from being controlled by your mind to consciously using it as a tool, how emotional energy drives every “problem,” and how the act of letting go—physically and mentally—is the real path to peace. This is more than nervous system regulation; it's a full reclamation of agency over your inner world.  

We present a deeply moving conversation with host Shawn French as he sits down with John O'Leary — bestselling author, motivational speaker, and the real-life inspiration behind the new William H. Macy film Soul on Fire. At just nine years old, John survived an explosion that left him with burns over 100% of his body and a 0% chance to live. What followed was nothing short of miraculous — a story not of one man's toughness, but of an entire community showing up when it mattered most. John and Shawn dive into the transformative power of love, faith, and community, exploring how the people around us can literally bring us back to life. John shares how his parents' fierce love, Jack Buck's unwavering mentorship, and his wife Beth's quiet strength helped shape a life of purpose. He opens up about the fine line between victimhood and victory, and how choosing to serve others became the ultimate path to healing. The two also reflect on Soul on Fire, the film that immortalizes John's journey — including personal touches like his wife's actual wedding dress and his late father's powerful final scene on set. Together, they reveal how acts of kindness, no matter how small, can create ripples that outlive us all. This isn't a story about survival. It's a masterclass in what it means to live — fully, vulnerably, and for others. Key Takeaways: -You can be a victim or a victor — the choice is always yours. -Community is the most powerful medicine for healing. -Tough love isn't cruelty; it's the pathway to freedom. -Mentorship and service are legacy multipliers — they outlive us. -True love sees beyond scars, ego, and circumstance. -Every act of kindness has a ripple effect far beyond what you'll ever see.

Tammy J. Bond shares her frustration after hearing a story from a middle manager dealing with a chaotic environment. The core issue: senior leaders are prioritizing being liked and showing misplaced "compassion" over actual leadership, accountability, and clear expectations. This episode is a fierce examination of how this dynamic demoralizes middle managers, promotes a culture of mediocrity, and actively destroys team trust and performance. Tammy challenges both senior leaders to put on the "boss hat" and middle managers to lead down and courageously speak up. Key Takeaways for Leaders (At All Levels) Chaos is Contagious, and so is Mediocrity: When leaders above the middle manager avoid difficult decisions (like performance termination), they model that mediocrity is acceptable, frustrating the rest of the high-performing team. Friendship is Not a Strategy: Prioritizing feeling liked or showing "compassion" in a performance issue is a destructive leadership failure. Compassion for hurt is necessary; compassion for unacceptable performance is enabling. The Cost of Circumvention: When a senior leader oversteps a middle manager (e.g., going directly to the employee or giving them assignments) it shows a break in trust, a lack of respect, and a disconnect that breaks down the entire organizational structure. The 90-Day Rule: Leaders must be slow to hire and quick to fire. Performance issues should be addressed and resolved (via performance plan or termination) well within the initial 90-day evaluation period. The Middle Manager's Survival Guide Middle managers are often stuck: managing up, communicating down, and balancing two sides with no support. Here's how to navigate the tension: Lead Down and Pull People Closer: When the top is failing, focus your energy on your team. Allow a three-minute "whine 101" for them to voice frustration. Acknowledge, "Heard, understood," and then ask, "And now what?" to shift to solution mode. Courageously Manage Up: Do not suffer in silence. Use curiosity to address boundary violations with your boss. Try framing your question like this: "I'm just curious, help me understand what's missing in my management style that's causing you to go around me directly to my staff? Here's what it feels like, and here's how it impacts the team." Know When to Escalate: If the unhealthy and destructive behavior of your superior continues, you have a right to go to HR to have a conversation about the negative impact on the team and your ability to lead. A word from Tammy: I unapologetically ask bold questions and challenge assumptions to help leaders rethink what they thought was true! If this episode resonates with you and you need help having this conversation with your boss, reshare this episode, tag me in your post, and I will reach out to discuss a role-play strategy.

What if the function you were about to join didn't really exist yet?In 2014, customer success was barely a function—it was an idea in the making. Omer Rabin took a bet on that idea at a time when the industry still needed convincing that managing customer relationships deserved its own tech stack. He went on to become Gainsight's Chief Evangelist when most people thought “customer success” sounded like corporate cheerleading.Fast forward a decade, and customer success has grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry. But somewhere along the way, many CS teams drifted from their strategic roots, becoming reactive order-takers buried in grunt work.In this episode, Omer Rabin (General Partner at TLA Ventures) and Chad Horenfeldt (VP of CS at Siena AI and author of The Strategic CSM) discuss the past, present, and future of customer success. They take us back to the early days—Pulse local events on Toronto rooftops, the hunter vs. farmer debate, and how Nick Mehta's pitch about “selling to existing customers” helped create an entire category.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:• Why customer success emerged as a distinct function (and why it almost didn't)• How CS teams lost their strategic edge—and how to reclaim it• Why AI is bringing CS back to its strategic roots by eliminating grunt work• Why Omer believes the next generation of CEOs will come from customer success• Chad's framework for future customer intelligence• The one question every CSM should ask to align with their CEO's top priority---Check out the Key Takeaways & Transcripts: https://www.gainsight.com/presents/series/unchurned/---Where to Find Chad:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadhorenfeldt/The Strategic CSM: https://www.strategiccustomersuccess.com/Where to Find Omer:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/omerabin/Where to Find Josh: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jschachter/--- In this episode, we cover:0:00 – Preview & Introduction1:24 – Meet Chad & Omer2:10 – Pulse Local Events and Building the CS Community3:52 – Chad's Origin Story: Being an Early CS Ambassador4:55 – From Customer Cheerleading to Value Creation12:45 – The AI Revolution and the Return of Strategic CSMs18:31 – How Outcome-Based CS Influences Revenue23:53 – Defining Success Is a Challenge25:25 – How AI Analyzes Survey Data to Find Customer Sentiment28:10 – Customizing Product Updates for Customers29:25 – Tactical Advice for CSMs30:35 – Aligning with Company Needs

In Episode 283 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy breaks down one of the toughest truths in business: why free almost always fails. Drawing on lessons from early mentor Kevin Pydde and his own entrepreneurial journey, Kelly explores how undercharging and giving too much away can quietly destroy your business. He shares the mindset and pricing framework that helped him build Capital Business Development and The Business Development Podcast from the ground up, teaching that consistent, predictable revenue, not commissions or goodwill, sustains long-term success.Kelly also exposes the hidden cost of free, showing why clients who don't pay rarely commit or transform. From coaching to community building, he reveals that every time you remove the price tag, you remove the value. This episode is a wake-up call for entrepreneurs and creators alike: if you want your work to matter, you have to charge for it. Because in the end, free isn't generosity, it's a loss for everyone.Key Takeaways: 1. You have to look after your family first, your business second, and yourself third because everything is interconnected.2. Consistent, predictable revenue keeps a business alive while commissions are just pennies from heaven.3. Know your real costs because your time is only a fraction of what it truly takes to run your business.4. Price for value, not hours, since clients pay for results and outcomes, not time spent.5. Confidence in your pricing is essential because the first sale you make is always to yourself.6. Free almost always fails because when people do not pay, they do not show up or commit.7.

Welcome to a special Halloween edition of The Spiritual Sleepover, with our bestie Steffi Hill, aka Spirit Sis! We are diving into all things spooky — from ghost stories and witch trials to silly games and soulful reflections, as we discuss embracing cycles of death and rebirth, honoring our ancestors, and creating new rituals as the seasons shift. We explore the history and lingering wounds of the Salem Witch Trials, unpacking how fear, patriarchy, and property rights shaped both a "witch wound" and a "sisterhood wound" that still influence women today. Steffi brings her storytelling magic with a dramatic retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and of course, what would a Spiritual Sleepover be without games?! Join us for some fun, spooky vibes, and some much-needed laughs as we dive into Halloween-themed games. Through laughter, insight, and a touch of silliness, this episode is a celebration of feminine power, seasonal magic, and healing for the collective.   Key Takeaways: How the Salem Witch Trials reveal deep ancestral wounds around feminine power, fear, and sisterhood that still shape society today How reclaiming the original meaning of “witch” — “one who chooses” — invites us to own our power, intuition, and role as co-creators of our reality Why this time of year is a sacred time to reflect on cycles of death and rebirth, connect with ancestors, and align with nature's rhythms Why supporting and uplifting one another — especially in the face of fear or oppression — is essential to transforming the “witch wound” into collective empowerment Silly and spooky games to bring some lighthearted joy to the season   Want to attend a Spiritual Sleepover LIVE?

Shelly shares the real story behind her family's move from Dallas to Boise—how a quiet nudge became a series of brave, practical steps. This episode is a hand on your shoulder for midlife women who feel the tension between a “good life” and an aligned next chapter. You'll feel seen, supported, and walk away with a simple rhythm to make confident, faith-forward decisions (without blowing up your life overnight).Key Takeaways:You're not alone. Wanting “different” in midlife doesn't make you ungrateful—it makes you honest.The regret test helps: Picture porch-you at 80. What would you regret not trying?Four-word prayer to steady you: Direction • Clarity • Discernment • Courage.Start tiny (coffee date, not wedding): One low-risk step (email the realtor, DM a mentor, write 5 bullets) creates momentum and clarity.Collect breadcrumbs: Log confirmations and roadblocks—patterns will guide timing and reduce second-guessing.Expect wobbly nights: Hard seasons don't mean wrong decisions; look for “God-winks” and practical mercies along the way.There's always a paper to sign: When it's time, take the leap. Let your fear of staying stuck be smaller than your faith to move.Action beats overthinking: God often confirms in motion.Scripture anchor: Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust before certainty; paths straighten as you walk.

In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, host Michelle Oravitz breaks down one of the most common fertility myths, the belief that pregnancy can only occur on the exact day of ovulation. Popular culture and even many fertility apps often portray conception as a single-day event, but science tells a different story. The truth is, sperm can survive in the reproductive tract for up to five days, creating a much wider fertile window than most people realize. Michelle explains what the 5-day fertile window really means, why the “Day 14 ovulation” rule is misleading, and how women can better understand their unique cycles. She also shares practical guidance on tracking ovulation accurately using basal body temperature (BBT) charting, cervical mucus observation, LH strips, and hormone-monitoring devices. Key Takeaways:  How cervical mucus supports sperm survival and why hydration is essential. The impact of irregular cycles caused by thyroid health, PCOS, stress, or travel. Why fertility apps often fail to predict ovulation accurately. The best timing and frequency of intercourse to increase the chances of conception How intercourse during the luteal phase may help prime the immune system to receive an em Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

In this Dad Edge Podcast episode, I'm joined by Joel Staley, husband, father, and fasting expert—but the real story here isn't about weight loss. It's about the emotional and relational weight men carry and how mastering the physical body can help men show up more powerfully for their families.   We unpack Joel's transformation from feeling “fluffy” and distracted to leading his wife and kids with presence and purpose. Joel doesn't hold back when talking about how his physical condition was limiting his energy, sex drive, self-respect, and ultimately his connection at home. This isn't a gimmicky fitness episode—it's a raw look at what happens when a man decides he's no longer okay with coasting.       EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS   [0:00] – Joel's wake-up call and early struggles with self-image [4:18] – Feeling physically present but emotionally absent as a dad [8:20] – Why getting shredded wasn't the real goal [12:03] – How fasting gave him structure, confidence, and clarity [16:55] – Leading your family starts with leading yourself [20:41] – Joel's marriage breakthrough through vulnerability [24:18] – Sex drive, shame, and physical transformation [28:36] – Teaching his kids about delayed gratification and purpose [33:02] – The real impact of watching your dad take care of himself [37:14] – Daily disciplines that keep him grounded and focused [40:57] – Joel's final challenge for every dad listening       5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. When You Lead Yourself, You Lead Better at Home Joel discovered that when he took full ownership of his physical health, it cascaded into better decisions, emotional presence, and connection with his family. 2. Your Body is a Spiritual and Emotional Instrument Getting fit wasn't just about looking good—it gave Joel the energy and confidence to show up for his wife and kids like never before. 3. Fasting Is a Discipline That Builds Mental Toughness Joel explains how structured fasting helped him reclaim control and break unhealthy patterns that were sabotaging his time and attention at home. 4. Physical Change Can Spark Relational Breakthroughs As Joel got healthier, his marriage improved—not because of appearance, but because of how he began showing up with integrity and consistency. 5. Your Kids Notice Everything Joel shares how his daughters now see him as someone who takes care of himself and others—and how that's creating a new generational standard.         LINKS & RESOURCES   25 Questions to Spark Connection with Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions Learn More About Joel's Coaching & Programs: https://shedfatfast.com Follow Joel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joelstaleyfitness Joel's GoFundMe:  https://gofund.me/b8fcf7ca3 Join the Dad Edge Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance Dad Edge Podcast Episodes: thedadedge.com/1390       If this episode pushed you to confront your own health or leadership gaps, rate, review, follow, and share.

In this revealing episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing dives deep into the secret art of “the campaign” — how to play the long game with women while keeping the upper hand and bypassing the dreaded friend zone with a super effective trick. Mark explains why slow-building attraction leads to stronger, longer-lasting connections, and how to use time, confidence, and humor to make a woman truly invested in you. He shares real-life examples from his days as a bouncer, the psychology behind “multiple touches,” and the four pillars of attraction that make this approach completely foolproof.   Key Takeaways: - How waiting to get her number builds intrigue and desire. - Using humor, frame control, and value to stay high-status. - How to friend-zone her first and skyrocket her interest in you. - Why slow-burn attraction often outperforms instant chemistry.   Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode intro and preview [00:02:26] – What is the long game?

Melette talks with George Ellison, co-founder of Propbee and former CEO of two publicly traded real estate companies, about how families can use technology to start building real estate legacies that last for generations.Propbee uses the same AI, data, and math that major institutional investors use — but makes it accessible to first-time and small investors.

Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Leola Anifowoshe.

What if the fastest way to fill your pipeline wasn't chasing new leads… but reigniting the ones you already have? If you've ever stared at a list of past prospects who never said “yes” and thought, “They're gone for good,” think again. Those dormant leads could actually be your next high-ticket clients – if you know how to re-engage them strategically. In episode 462 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I sat down with Mandi Ellefson, founder of Hands-Off CEO, to uncover a powerful (yet simple) system to reactivate cold leads and close 1–2 new deals in just 30 days without paid ads or exhausting outreach. Mandi shares the exact reactivation framework her clients use to turn “quiet” prospects into $100 - $500k in new revenue. Plus, she reveals how to use automation, personalization, and timing to rebuild trust fast. If your sales pipeline has stalled or you're ready to turn missed opportunities into momentum, this conversation will help you see your “old” leads in a whole new light.   Key Takeaways: [04:32] Why most entrepreneurs leave thousands in potential revenue sitting in their CRM – and how to fix it. 08:47] The 4-word email reactivation strategy that reignites stalled deals, without sounding salesy or doing awkward follow up.. 12:10] How to identify which leads are actually ready to buy (and stop wasting time chasing the wrong ones). [16:03] The psychology behind why leads go quiet — and what rebuilds trust instantly. [21:55] How to personalize outreach at scale — without spending hours sending follow-up messages. [26:12] How reactivating old leads can create a snowball effect of referrals and repeat business.  [30:45] The 30-day roadmap for tripling your pipeline and closing high-value clients. About The Guest: Mandi Ellefson is the founder of Hands‑Off CEO, where she guides service firms to break free from daily delivery, win 6–7 figure deals, and boost profits by as much as 600% by leveraging their ‘Invisible Advantage.' After battling emotional and physical burnout, she rebuilt her business to create more freedom — and grew a multi‑million‑dollar net worth before the age of 40. Today, she teaches other owners to do the same, and uses her platform to be a stand for freedom and sponsor at‑risk children in Cambodia, aligning growth with deeper purpose.

The Crisis in College Mental Health: An Interview with Dr. Pardis Mahdavi, PhD Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk with Dr. Pardis Mahdavi about the growing mental-health crisis among college students. Pardis shares insights from her years in higher education leadership—revealing how rising costs, outdated systems, and lack of purpose are driving student anxiety and burnout. Together they explore what therapists, universities, and communities can do to realign education with meaning, wellbeing, and real-world readiness. About Our Guest: Dr. Pardis Mahdavi, Ph.D. Pardis Mahdavi is an author, educator, and entrepreneur whose work spans human rights, education policy, and consciousness. A former university president and provost, she is the author of seven nonfiction books including The Book of Queens (Hachette Books, 2023) and Riding (Duke University Press, 2024). She currently leads Entheon Journeys and The Bondery House, fostering connection and expanded awareness. Key Takeaways for Therapists College students face unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression—driven by systemic disconnection, financial stress, and unclear purpose. Higher education often fails to evolve with societal change, leaving students feeling unprepared and unseen. Preventive supports like mindfulness and mentorship should be built into the college experience. Therapists can help students find meaning, manage uncertainty, and advocate for collaborative care across campus systems.

As a F/A-18 pilot, he deployed twice from the USS John C Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He spent three years as an Instructor Pilot at TOPGUN where he served as the Training Officer, the senior staff pilot responsible for the conduct of the TOPGUN course. Notes: July 2001: Plans Don't Survive Contact - Dave's Top Gun graduation exercise as flight lead. Wingman yells, "Showtime one-one break right!" - an F-5 snuck into formation. Dave was staring at the radar instead of looking out, had to fall out of formation, and ended up at the back instead of leading from the front. Mission successful, but nothing like he planned. Dave: "The outcome was still really good... except it was nothing like I thought it was going to be." Lesson: You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to do it. The most important attribute in a leader is humility. To be effective, you must be able to listen, learn, be flexible, and admit you're wrong sometimes. One of the biggest issues they deal with when working with leaders is ego and/or the inability to be humble. As leaders, we need to be self-aware enough to realize when our ego is getting the best of us. And surrounding ourselves with people who will help us know when that is happening as well. Be Fluid with Plans, Deliberate with Outcomes - Be really fluid and loose with plans, but deliberate about aligning the team on outcomes. Dave grew up as a control freak, OCD planner. Dave: "In life, it's just not how life works... If you can align on the mission and outcome, and you are very open-minded that there are a lot of different ways to get there, you're far more likely to be successful." The military saying, "The enemy gets a vote." Ryan's quarterback coach after an interception: "He's on scholarship too, you know?" Process: How You Create It Matters Most - Process is important, but how you create it matters most. If you agree on the outcome, the conversation should be less about agreement, more about "When you talk about step one, what are you thinking? How does this lead to step two?" The process has to be organic. When you create it, you're more likely to maneuver around challenges. Book Dedication: Chris and Kat - Book dedicated to Corporal Chris Leon and his mother, Kat. Chris was a radio operator on Dave's 13-man Anglo team. June 20, 2006, Chris was killed by an enemy sniper in Iraq - first Anglican Marine killed there. Dave's son is Matthew Leon Burke - took Chris's last name. Chris's mom Kat is Aunt Kat to Dave's family. Dave: "I always say I really deep down wish I didn't know Kat, because that would've meant Chris came home and life just went on. But that's not what happened." Chris taught bravery. Kat taught strength. Top Gun Reality: It's About the Team - 1986 Top Gun most impactful movie on Dave's life at 14. But the movie depicts a lone wolf. Marine Corps teaches: Your contribution to the team matters most. A really good pilot who's self-centered will do more damage than a slightly less capable pilot who's a real team player. Dave: "If there's ever a team sport, it's going into combat... It's not about you. It's about the team." Trust: Action, Not Description - Echelon codifies relationships: Trust, respect, listening, influence. Trust is the cornerstone. Dave: "If you don't trust me, I could be good at so many things. If there is a trust gap, there's going to be a problem in the relationship and team." Trust is action you take.  Ego: The Universal Challenge - When Echelon works with companies, challenges are almost always connected to ego. Dave: "Our egos tend to wreak havoc at each level of organization." From birth, the ego drives us down the wrong path. When debating plans, ego says, "You're right, he's wrong." Building good leadership is managing egos. Dave: "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes, humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that." Humility Enables Everything Else - Dave worked with the biggest, toughest SEALs. Attribute most critical to success: humility. Ability to listen, learn, be flexible, change, admit you're wrong, and go with someone else's plan. It even affects fitness. Humility touches everything. Doesn't diminish other attributes, but allows you to strengthen them.  Teaching Humility: Subordinate Your Ego - You can't tell someone with a big ego to be humble. Dave: "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it." Most counterintuitive thing: If you clash with Ryan, Dave has to subordinate his ego to Ryan's. Lower your ego: "Hey Ryan, I've been pushing back hard, I realize I'm not listening." Natural reaction: Ryan's ego starts to drop. Over time, collaborate more. You connect success to the ability to control the ego. Dave: "Humility is the measurement of how much control you have over your ego." What you give is usually what you get. It's reciprocal. Care About Team More Than Yourself - When your people see you working hard to clear paths or block an egomaniac boss, they'll run through walls for you. Outcome of a good relationship: You care about the team, the team cares about you. That selfless act shows you care about them more than yourself. Dave: "That's how you show that you care about them more than yourself, and that's what a leader's job is, to care about the team more than you care about yourself. That's parenting, that's marriage." Extreme Ownership - Book Extreme Ownership changed Dave's understanding. When you take ownership, take ownership of everything. Caveat: Not things you literally don't control. But you have ownership over everything, even just how you react. After Chris was killed, Dave said, "That's war, nothing we can do." Problem: When he embraced it wasn't his responsibility, it meant he didn't have as much to change. Should have asked: "What is everything we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again?" The tendency is to undershoot ownership. Try to take it to the extreme. If you can take ownership of everything you can control, you get more influence over the outcome. Detachment: A Superpower - Dave: "Detachment is a superpower" - (1) almost nobody can do it, and (2) if you can, it's massively influential. Detachment is being in control of emotions. When overwhelmed with priorities and pressures, you tend to get emotional. When you react emotionally, you make bad decisions. Learn the skill of detaching - not to be devoid of emotion (we're human), but don't let emotions dictate. Get Away from Problems to See What's Causing It - When a problem occurs at work, you tend to focus on it, go into it. It seems good but is often wrong. You should get away from it, detach. Getting away lets you look around and see what's really causing it. Military example: The enemy is shooting at you; the tendency is to focus on that. Usually bad because they're hoping you do - then they send a flanking maneuver. If you detach, step back, you'll see the flanking maneuver coming. Be able to see the future - that's the superpower.  Know Your Red Flags - Intervene Early - You have to understand where you are escalating your emotions. Know your personal red flags. Most people don't go zero to 100. Long day, flight delayed, bad meeting - little things tick up, so zero is actually 4 or 5, which means dirty dishes put you to 7. When Dave gets frustrated, traps tighten up. Some people's nose turns red. If you're at level 8 and someone says, "calm down," it makes it worse. But if at level 1 or 2 and you intervene, you're in control. What an adult does: "I'm an emotional guy, but I have awareness of where I am. If I'm a 4, I gotta intervene then." If at level 10, detaching is not gonna happen. That's the difference between kids and adults. Dave: "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." Quotes: "You're planning for the success of the outcome, not how you're going to go about doing that, because things get in the way."  "Humility is the most important attribute in a leader. All the attributes. Humility is number one, and we don't waffle on that."  "The biggest challenge with someone else's ego is not their ego. It's your ego's response to it."  "Detachment is a superpower."  "You are much more likely to have a hard time controlling your emotions, ironically, with people you care about the most." 01:16 Introducing Dave Burke 02:21 Dave Burke's Top Gun Experience 05:23 Lessons Learned from Military to Everyday Life 07:56 The Importance of Flexibility in Leadership 13:07 The Need to Lead: Dedication and Personal Stories 16:58 The Realities of Teamwork in Combat and Business 21:03 Building Trust and Relationships in Teams 26:04 The Role of Humility in Effective Leadership 31:03 Understanding Ego and Humility 31:50 Subordinating Your Ego 33:38 Challenges of Teaching Humility 34:07 Personal Experiences with Ego 39:20 The Power of Ownership 42:57 Detachment as a Superpower 52:58 Advice for Young Leaders 57:26 Conclusion and Key Takeaways

Send us a textJared's sunburnt, unfiltered, and back in the war room (well, accidentally someone else's). In this raw members-only rant, he debriefs the San Diego Operator Training Summit, breaks down the PT standard panic in the Air Force, and flame-throws the idiocy of “Blues Mondays.” From watching 38 candidates grind it out to eviscerating the armchair critics of “warrior ethos,” this episode is a spicy casserole of truth bombs, sarcasm, and unsolicited leadership advice. Plus, why some folks are mad about "our boys" and how social media outrage might just be one big bot-fueled joke. Buckle up, because Jared's mic is hot and his patience is not.
