Learn how to tell whether you've truly forgiven someone, and why forgiveness is where grief is meant to lead. In this season finale, Bryson and counselor Randy Hemphill explain forgiveness as the removal of punishment, not consequences. They talk through forgiving people who never apologize, setting boundaries that aren't punishment, forgiving yourself, and even releasing the anger we hold against God. Bryson shares a deeply personal story of forgiveness, and Randy uses his Kilimanjaro climb to show why this final push of grief is worth it. Think of one person you're still punishing and take one small step toward releasing them this week, then share this episode with someone who's carrying the same weight.

In the world of M&A, deals tend to get reduced to spreadsheets long before anyone asks about the story or the actual people underneath.Emily Blue built her whole career on believing maybe we've got that backwards.She started out as a nursing major (until an anatomy syllabus sent her running ), failed the CFA before she passed it, and eventually found herself sitting across the table from some very fancy investment bankers. Then one afternoon, she was standing in an airport after a pitch that had gone really well... wondering why she felt so flat.A phone call with her friend Ryan Halls changed everything. Eventually, that conversation became Hue Partners, an M&A advisory firm that works exclusively with sellers.In this episode, Emily and Stacy get into:➤ The airport phone call that turned into a firm➤ Why Hue said no to every buyer who wanted to hire them➤ What happened when a banker called Emily "soft" (and Ryan's PERFECT comeback)➤ Why younger, fast-growing firms are exploring partnerships earlier, and why waiting too long can cost you➤ The real estate analogy that makes a pretty freaking good case for having someone in YOUR corner when you sell➤ Why wealth firms are starting to look at boutique asset managers as a talent strategy➤ The "messy middle," and what happens when the story that got you HERE stops fitting where you want to go NEXTThis one is about M&A, but it's also about relationships, story, and knowing what you actually want to build. And what happens when the way it's always been done doesn't feel like the way YOU want to do it.About Emily Blue:Emily Blue, CFA, is a math nerd turned M&A disruptor and the co-founder of Hue Partners. She cut her teeth in M&A integrations, pushed back on traditional valuations, and led corporate development, and through every deal one thing stayed true: the best transactions aren't about multiples. They're about people. So she built Hue to put founders first, with no corporate fog and no empty promises, just real partnership before and after the deal.Outside of work, Emily serves as Board Chair of the Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri, and advocates through Big Brothers Big Sisters and Newhouse. She has traded Kilimanjaro for toddler trails for now, and lives a chaotic, joyful life with her husband Harrison, their kids, and two doodles. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus

All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio with Pamela L Henderson Girl Empowerment, Sierra Leone Diplomacy, and Resilience at the United Nations with Judy Kuriansky Host Pamela L. Henderson talks with UN advisor and clinical psychologist Dr. Judy Kuriansky about girl empowerment, Sierra Leone's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, resilience after trauma, and using music and diplomacy to build peace. A Warm Welcome And Introduction Pamela L. Henderson opens the broadcast on BBS Radio, describing All Roads Lead 65 Max Radio as a platform she built since 2011 around social growth and leadership for young people. She invites listeners to her Tuesday broadcasts and points them to journeyofasapphire.com and allroadslead65max.org. Henderson then introduces her guest, Dr. Judy Kuriansky, calling her an internationally known clinical psychologist, author, humanitarian, media personality, musician, and philanthropist who serves as an advisor to the Mission of the Republic of Sierra Leone at the United Nations. Henderson notes that Kuriansky once climbed Mount Kilimanjaro all the way to the summit, framing her as an example of endurance and determination. Kuriansky thanks Henderson for the invitation and says the show's focus on girl empowerment speaks directly to her own work, calling empowerment the word most critical to self-esteem, to fulfilling dreams, and, expanded outward, to peace in the world. A Journey Into Sierra Leone Kuriansky explains that at the United Nations she advocates for mental health and for Sustainable Development Goal five, the empowerment and rights of women and girls agreed to by 193 countries, and that she works closely with the first lady of Sierra Leone. Asked by Henderson to trace that journey, Kuriansky recalls a Peace Corps friend inviting her to Sierra Leone during the AIDS era, where she did radio outreach with young people for the organization Search for Common Ground. A Sierra Leonean friend was later named ambassador to the United States, and Kuriansky became his policy advisor, learning about poverty and energy issues alongside psychology. She returned during the Ebola outbreak that struck Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. She describes the first lady, once forced into early marriage herself, winning a UN resolution establishing an international day against child, early, and forced marriage, and a Sierra Leonean law allowing up to fifteen years in prison for perpetrators of sexual violence, giving legal teeth to access to justice. Resilience Lessons And Girl Empowerment Programs Henderson praises Kuriansky's emphasis on resilience, a value central to her own foundation, and Kuriansky illustrates the concept with an exercise she uses with children after disasters: bounce a ball and watch it return, then strike it harder and watch it bounce higher, proof that people can come back from crisis even stronger. Henderson asks about the first lady's Hands Off Our Girls campaign, and Kuriansky explains it targets violence against girls that drives them out of school, and includes distributing sanitary pads so girls can keep attending and building self-esteem. Henderson describes her own program, which serves girls from fourteen into adulthood, many transitioning out of foster care, domestic violence, trafficking, truancy, or family breakdown. Through her company, 65 Max Corporation, its production arm, a clothing line, and her foundation, she teaches customer service skills that build integrity, confidence, and accountability, and graduates can earn certification and apply for jobs within her organization, turning training directly into employment. Surviving Trauma, Saving A Grandson Henderson shares the story behind her foundation: in 2009 her daughter, then twenty-one and raising two children alone, survived a harsh domestic violence relationship that led to her children being removed from her home. Barred from stepping in to help directly, Henderson fought for her grandchildren while facing vandalism to her car and home, tampered bank accounts, and what she describes as a year of gang stalking and bullying, living on little more than water and bread. She says a conversation with God set her on the path that became All Roads Lead 65 Max Foundation. Henderson recounts winning guardianship of her grandson in 2017 after finding him with failing eyesight, poor dental health, and a nerve twitch from prior neglect; she dismissed the doctors treating him with medication and instead gave him love, guidance, and direction, and he is now eighteen, thriving, and doing well in school. Kuriansky calls it a story of survival and thriving, and connects it to her own volunteer support work at Ground Zero after September 11th. Music, Diplomacy, And Global Honors Kuriansky describes one of her proudest programs, The Girls' Empowerment Camp in Lesotho, where she used affirmations, dance, and storytelling to help girls address the dangers of AIDS and build self-worth. She credits her songwriting partner, musician Russell Daisey, a former student who asked her to write psychologically sound lyrics after September 11th; together they wrote Towers of Light, Hands Off Our Girls, One in Faith, Hope Is Alive, and Stand Up for Peace. As a founding member of Women for Diplomacy International, Kuriansky recently traveled to Budapest to read peace poetry with the group's co-founder, a former Hungarian ambassador to the UN. She lists honors including the Grand Commander of the Order of the Rokel from Sierra Leone's president, a Presidential award for volunteer service from President Biden, and induction into the eMentalHealth International Hall of Fame, framing recognition as rooted in a principle from Japanese psychology: appreciating what people do, however small, rather than waiting for grand achievement. Pioneering Advice Radio And What's Next Henderson turns to Kuriansky's decades as a pioneer of call-in radio advice, which began in 1980 after she evaluated sex therapy research for Masters and Johnson and wrote about pleasure for Cosmopolitan magazine, eventually hosting nightly advice shows and a Z100 program featuring celebrity guests. Asked why empowerment matters now, Kuriansky points to wars, personal fears, and anxiety over artificial intelligence, insisting that human connection cannot be replaced by machines, a concern Henderson shares even as her own foundation uses AI alongside live customer-service support. Kuriansky outlines what is next: working with Sierra Leone's first lady at the UN General Assembly, finishing a book, and performing songs including Towers of Light and Stand Up for Peace at a Times Square concert with Russell Daisey. She directs listeners to her website, drjudy.com, and to Black Tie Magazine for her writing. Henderson thanks her guest warmly, and closes the broadcast with a quote about loving fully, living gently, and gracefully letting go of what was never meant to stay.

Send us Fan MailShe didn't just beat a record on Mount Kilimanjaro, she rewrote what “supported speed” can look like at 19,000 feet. Aaron Ton joins us fresh off a massive double: new supported ascent and supported round-trip Fastest Known Times on Kilimanjaro, plus an honest look at the parts that felt smooth and the part that nearly derailed everything when altitude slammed her around 15,000 feet.We get into the real build behind a big mountain FKT: stacking altitude in Colorado, grabbing a fast acclimation bump in Ecuador near Quito, then navigating Tanzania logistics where a lost bag and a strict six-day permit window forced a smarter timeline. Aaron breaks down the Mweka route from humid jungle darkness to high, dry rock, how she staged guides at camps to meet national park rules, and why those guides weren't just “support” but true athletes who helped her unlock speed on the descent.Then we zoom out to the bigger mission: chasing speed records across the Seven Summits. Aaron explains why Mount Elbrus is suddenly on the table, what it takes to get a Russia visa, why Denali intimidates her more than Everest, and how she thinks about risk, intention, and the way social media can make dangerous terrain look easy. We also talk optimization culture, consumerism in trail running, and a post-climb Tanzania safari that raises its own conservation tradeoffs.If you enjoy deep dives on mountain running, altitude strategy, and the mindset behind big objectives, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a rating and review.Use code SteepStuff for 20% your cart on Sidas.usFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podFollow Sidas USA on IG - @sidas_usa

Connie Lewin found the funders. She wrote the emails. She sent the proposals. The response was silence.With a $1 million goal for a small nonprofit in Rwanda and no established high-net-worth donor network, Connie had to quickly step into a leadership role and take responsibility for the organization's goal to scale its impact and operations in three years.What finally moved the money wasn't better writing. It was closing the distance between donors and the people at the center of the mission by tapping into donors' heads and hearts and making the case for giving by connecting business strategy with empathy.

In this episode, I interview Leanne from Backtrack Adventures, who is at the very beginning of a training journey to hike Kilimanjaro.

What happens when young people step away from their phones, leave behind an increasingly automated world, and enter experiences that require them to be fully present? In this episode Will speaks with Greg Morrissey, founder of the Mountain Goat Movement, an adventure travel and outdoor education organization serving high school and college students. A former literature teacher, Greg explains why he left the classroom to create outdoor experiences that combine skiing, surfing, trekking, environmental learning, digital detox, and long-term mentorship. Greg shares stories ranging from students attempting to order Uber Eats in the Adirondack backcountry to a reluctant 14-year-old hiker who eventually summited Mount Kilimanjaro. He describes how Mountain Goat Movement partners with schools, educators, explorers, and outdoor brands to help young people develop resilience, confidence, community, and a stronger sense of purpose. Although Mountain Goat Movement is not a therapy program, the conversation explores how adventure, trusted mentors, self-authorship, and time away from technology can provide something deeply therapeutic—and help young people become the authors of their own lives. Check out the: https://www.mountaingoatmovement.com/ This podcast is supported by the White Mountain Adventure Institute (WMAI.org), where Dr. Will White helps individuals, leaders, and organizations navigate growth, change, and life transitions through coaching, consulting, and retreats.   

What does it take to turn a single moment of compassion into a lifelong mission? After a career spent supporting children in Vancouver's inner-city classrooms, Patti Shales Lefkos set out on a journey that carried her far beyond anything she'd imagined — into the remote mountain villages of the Nepali Himalaya, where a village asked her to help rebuild a school that was falling down around its students. She didn't promise anything. A year to the day after she stood in that village, the 2015 earthquake flattened it. Host Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff talks with Patti about the schools, homes, and scholarships that grew out of that moment, what she learned about listening instead of assuming, and why, at 79 and about to turn 80, she's packing for Kanchenjunga. Guest Patti Shales Lefkos, Founder, Nepal One Day at a Time Society. Following a rewarding career as a teacher, administrator, and advocate for Vancouver inner-city children, Patti studied journalism at Langara College. She's a graduate of the University of Toronto, Toronto Teachers College, Simon Fraser University, and a wilderness leadership program. She is the author of Nepal One Day at a Time: One Woman's Quest to Teach, Trek, and Build a School in the Remote Himalaya and Grounded by Granite, a coming-of-age story of family connection and personal resilience framed by summers on a remote island in the Canadian Shield. A third book, about the 800-kilometre Great Himalaya Trail trek she completed at 77, is currently seeking a publisher. She founded the British Columbia nonprofit Nepal One Day at a Time Society to support education, health care, and home building in Nepal, and lives near Silver Star Mountain in the BC interior. What is Nepal One Day at a Time Society? A small British Columbia nonprofit that funds education, health care, and home building in remote Nepali villages — the kind of places that sit at the end of the road, where children walk two hours each way to reach a classroom and the nearest bookstore is a two-day journey to Kathmandu. The organization works through long-standing relationships with a Nepali trekking company and its affiliated NGO rather than parachuting in. Two partner schools. The first, whose original 55-year-old building had a condemned top floor and rain coming through into the classrooms below, now runs kindergarten through grade ten and serves roughly 350 students. The second, a small primary school in the far northwest reached during the Great Himalaya Trail trek, serves about 150 children in classrooms with dirt floors and bare cement walls. Three homes rebuilt after the earthquake, at roughly $15,000 USD each — a two-room house with an outdoor bathroom and a front porch, built to post-earthquake standards with rebar corners. Student sponsorships. Rosina, sponsored from grade five in the village, is now 23, has graduated in physiotherapy, and lives in Australia. The guide's 12-year-old son is next. School supplies and technology. A first gift of $500 for library books — the school had none — followed by $6,000 for supplies, more books, and three computers for a staff that had none. Low overhead. The partner NGO is staffed by young people from the region who handle administration through the trekking company, keeping admin costs to roughly 3–5%. Funded by Rotary clubs in Vernon, BC, and Kingston, Ontario, profits from Patti's books, photo art cards of Nepal and Tibet, speaking engagements, and individual donors. Key Topics Covered A book in grade ten, and forty years of waiting. Patti grew up an outdoor kid on an island with no electricity, drinking straight from the lake, long before screen time. Then a novel on the grade ten curriculum — Lost Horizon — put the magic of the Himalaya in her head, and she filed it away. A year of high school in Switzerland got her a passport and a taste for adventure, and then she did all the expected things: university, teachers college, a career. It was only after retiring, and after journalism school, that she and her husband picked up passports again and started walking. A coast-to-coast hike across England was the shakedown. Tibet was next, including a three-day circumambulation of sacred Mount Kailash at an altitude she'd never experienced. She was hooked. The decision to go alone. They'd planned to return to Nepal together to visit their guide's and porter's villages and volunteer as teachers. Days before departure, her husband ruptured his Achilles tendon. Friends and family were getting sick. Her reasoning was blunt and worth hearing: you don't know what will happen to you next. With her husband's blessing, and with the same guide and company guaranteed, she went by herself. "Would you help us build a school?" After her volunteer teaching, her guide Raj took her to a village at the end of a road that had never received outside help. The school building was 55 years old, built by the villagers themselves. The top floor was condemned. They were still using the main floor, with rain coming through from above. The villagers asked her directly. Her honest first thought: they think all Westerners are rich — what could I possibly do? She promised nothing and went home to think. A year to the day, while still in Nepal, she'd met a Buddhist monk in Upper Mustang who was building a school for children with no access to education at all, funding it by giving teachings in Singapore five months a year. That conversation about what was possible stayed with her. She came home, mulled it over, looked into what starting a nonprofit would take — and then, a year to the day after she'd stood in that village, the earthquake hit. The area she'd visited was at the epicenter. Every home in the village was gone. Her husband, an outdoor guy who hates computers, built a slideshow. They showed it at Silver Star Mountain and raised $1,000 the first night. Then she joined her local Rotary Club, and everything scaled from there. Coffee, tea, and the discipline of listening. The most transferable lesson in the episode, and it comes from Vancouver, not Nepal. Trying to get parents involved at an inner-city school, Patti's team put out coffee every morning for the grandmothers dropping off the primary kids. They didn't want coffee. They wanted tea. She carries that into every village: don't decide what people need. Ask them. When she stood on that school playground in northwestern Nepal, the question she asked was simply, " Do you have any library books? Would you like some"? Being told about her own privilege, Patti recounts a former staff member giving her what she describes as a long lecture — that as a white, middle-class woman whose parents and grandparents went to university, she was operating from privilege. Her response, decades later and on the record: "that was really good for me to hear." Laura connects it to the reason the relationship works — the villages hold parades for her, which is not how a colonial dynamic looks. How she vets where the money goes: Patti admits she was long reticent about charities and what share actually reaches the work. Her answer has been to build relationships rather than write checks: a good feeling about the head of the trekking company that a first trip confirmed, a principal who traveled two days to Kathmandu to buy books and sent photos back, a guide who translates and vouches, and a partner NGO whose admin is handled by local young people at a few percent of the total. 800 kilometres at 77 In 2023, believing they had one last long trek in them, Patti and her husband designed their own route on the Great Himalaya Trail, which runs the length of Nepal. They walked 800 kilometres over 75 days with a guide, a cook who had cooked as high as Camp Two on Everest, and a donkey man with five or six animals carrying food and camping equipment. In the first 50 days they met perhaps seven or eight other Westerners — which is exactly what they wanted, because it meant being with Nepali people the whole way. She journaled daily and photographed a wipe-off sign each night recording the day number, kilometres walked, total distance, and altitude. Why she doesn't trek with big groups anymore On the Tibet trip, a man on their trek died of altitude sickness — a man who had climbed Kilimanjaro the year before. On her first Nepal trek, feeling sick at 12,000 feet, Raj simply said they'd stay put another day and see. She was fine. In a group of thirty, she notes, you're pressured forward: go ahead when you don't want to, or lose the group. Being able to make your own call is the whole point.

At 29029, we have a mantra: KEEP CLIMBING.The goal may be to accumulate 29,029 feet—the vertical equivalent of Mount Everest—but the mountain asks something more of you.Can you keep moving when you're tired?Can you adapt when the plan falls apart?Can you take one more step, one more ascent, check one more box?Can you KEEP CLIMBING for 36 hours?Along the way, we mark progress by traveling symbolically around the world—through the Seven Summits, the highest mountains on each of the seven continents.Kosciuszko in Australia.Vinson in Antarctica.Denali in North America.Kilimanjaro, the Roof of Africa.Elbrus in Europe.Aconcagua in South America.And finally, Everest in Asia.For most of us at 29029, those mountains are names on the back of a bib. They are benchmarks—boxes we hope to check as we climb toward our own Everest.But there are a few people in our community for whom those boxes represent something very different.They represent passports and plane tickets. Months of preparation. Heavy packs. Crampons and ice axes. Bitter cold, brutal winds and impossibly thin air.They represent the actual mountains.In June of 2026, Louise McEvoy stood on the summit of Denali, 20,310 feet above Alaska.But this wasn't simply another summit.It was the seventh.With those final steps to the top of Denali, Louise completed a journey years in the making: standing atop the highest mountain on every continent on Earth.Seven continents.Seven summits.Seven boxes checked—not on the back of a bib, but across the globe.And behind every one of those summits is a story about what it really means to KEEP CLIMBING.

Gugu Zulu was my friend. I still consider him my friend. Ten years after we lost Gugs on Mount Kilimanjaro, I finally had the opportunity to sit down with Letshego Zulu and talk about that mountain, the man we both loved and the incredible life she has built since. A year after losing Gugs, Letshego returned to Kilimanjaro and reached the summit in his honour. From there, she began the incredibly difficult journey of picking up the pieces and choosing to live, something she would later write about in her memoir, I Choose to Live: Life After Losing Gugu. Today, Letshego is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, mom and formidable endurance athlete. She runs, she cycles, she takes on massive challenges and she uses her story to inspire women across South Africa. She's strong, funny, adventurous and just a really lekker South African. Gugs would be incredibly proud of her. I know I am.

  What do you find out about yourself when the mountain sends you back down? In this episode of On Adventure Podcast, Josh talks with Karl Frank, a Colorado native, mountaineer, and President of A&I Wealth Management in Denver. Karl grew up hiking out the back door of his family's home at 7,000 feet, and he is now working his way through the Seven Summits. They discuss two very different trips up Kilimanjaro, a December summit of Aconcagua that most of the group did not finish, and a winter ascent of Mount Whitney where a single misstep by a teammate would have taken everyone off the wall. Underneath the stories is a running theme: the mistakes Karl remembers most are the ones that came from being sure of himself. In This Episode Growing up in the Colorado foothills and hiking alone as a kid Why he keeps looking for a personal limit he has not found yet Turning back at 16,000 feet on Kilimanjaro, and the trail that opened up because of it Altitude, arrogance, and the medical help he did not ask for Summiting Aconcagua in a bad weather year Frostbite, impaired judgment, and gear left in the pack Training on stairs and the Manitou Incline The Seven Summits plan, and why Denali is the hard one Faith, quiet, and the spiritual pull of high places Being genuinely afraid of heights and climbing anyway Episode Chapters 00:00 – The question behind every conversation Josh explains what he is really after: not the summit list, but the reward that keeps people going back. 01:00 – Growing up in the Colorado foothills Karl describes a childhood spent hiking alone at 7,000 feet, thirty years of marriage, and how easily you can lose yourself inside what you build. 02:30 – Two very different trips up Kilimanjaro A chest cold on a dry, dusty Lemosho Route turns into a turnaround at Barranco Wall, and a rare descent down the Umbwe Route. 05:00 – A Land Cruiser ambulance and a one room clinic The evacuation, the doctor who was unimpressed with his symptoms, and an antibiotic that is not sold for humans in the United States. 07:30 – When the detour becomes the trip Josh draws the parallel to planning. The contingency you never wrote down is sometimes the part you remember. 10:30 – Aconcagua in December Mendoza, a guide who has done the mountain sixty times, camps at 14,000 through 19,600 feet, and a summit on day twelve of a nineteen day window. 14:45 – A leveled camp and how you respond A climber walks into camp smiling after a night of 100 mile per hour winds, a collapsed tent, and altitude sickness. Karl's takeaway is about not judging what you can see. 16:00 – Turning around, frostbite, and judgment at altitude How Karl decides to push on or stop, the heavy gloves he carried and did not wear, and why you spot impairment in your partners long before yourself. 21:00 – Stairs, the Manitou Incline, and the Seven Summits His training approach, plus what is next: Carstensz Pyramid, then Denali, and why Denali is considered the hardest of the seven. 30:30 – Why he keeps going back Karl says he feels most alive when he is a little bit in danger, and explains the spiritual weight the mountains carry for him. 31:45 – The most dangerous moment: Mount Whitney in winter A traverse across concrete snow, a fifty meter runout, and a stretch where the outcome was entirely out of his hands. 38:30 – Calm, faith, and a droplet of water What he has learned about himself, and a Buddhist image about how briefly any of us are here. 43:45 – Facing a little fear, often Karl is afraid of heights. He explains how repeated small exposure lets him stay steady when the stakes are real. 46:30 – Skiing kids, football, and building A&I Raising three mogul skiers, a college football injury that changed his direction, three master's degrees, and how A&I Wealth Management got its name. Memorable Quotes "What's my personal limit? I haven't found it yet, so I keep pushing to find it." "You miss out on who you are if you just think about what you build." "It's how you respond to what the world lays out on you." "I feel most alive when I'm a little bit in danger." "We're here for just a little bit." Key Takeaways Turning around is not the same as failing. The Kilimanjaro attempt Karl did not finish sent him down a trail few climbers are permitted to use, and he counts it among the best hikes of his life. Arrogance is the real altitude risk. Two physicians in his group were carrying a full medical kit. He never asked, because he was the guy from the big mountains. Carrying the right gear is only half of it. He had his heaviest gloves in his pack on Aconcagua and skipped them to move fast. He lost the skin on the tips of all ten fingers and toes. Getting up is optional. Getting down is not. The summit is the halfway point, and most of the trouble starts after it. Face a little fear on purpose. Small, repeated exposure is what builds the calm you need when a situation turns serious. Nobody goes couch to Aconcagua. Capability gets layered in over years, and that is true well outside the mountains.

EWhat if the experiences you want to forget are connected to the purpose you are searching for? In this episode, Daniel Lloyd shares his story of addiction, mental health struggles, trauma, shame, relationships, and recovery. He explains how lived experience shaped his understanding of connection, intuition, personal responsibility, and life purpose. Daniel challenges the idea that your past has to define your future. He explains why taking ownership of your choices matters, how shame affects people struggling with addiction and mental health, and why connection plays such a major role in recovery. The conversation also explores intuition, early-life experiences, personal transformation, finding purpose through pain, and creating a specific vision for your future. Daniel shares his vision of helping 11 million people find their smile again and explains how he turned years of personal struggle into a clear sense of purpose.  In this episode, you'll learn: • How pain and lived experience can shape your sense of purpose • Why taking responsibility changes the way you approach your life • How shame affects addiction and mental health • Why Daniel sees addiction as a medical issue rather than a moral failure • How connection relates to addiction and recovery • How early experiences influenced Daniel's beliefs about himself • Why reframing your experiences matters • How to create a specific vision for your future • Why your past does not have to determine your next chapter • How intuition connects with self-awareness and personal growth • Why finding your purpose starts with understanding your own story Daniel's story shows how years of struggle became part of the work he does today. He believes purpose often sits inside your pain, where your lived experience becomes something you can use to help others.

For years, Nancy Deyo lived by the same rules many of us have been taught to follow: work hard, stay disciplined, push through discomfort, and keep going.Those strategies helped her build a successful career as a Silicon Valley CEO. But after a medical crisis on Mount Kilimanjaro left her living with chronic pain, years of misdiagnosis, opioid dependence, and an entirely different reality than the one she had planned, she was forced to ask a difficult question:What do we do when the strategies that made us successful stop working?In this deeply honest conversation, Nancy shares what it was like to grieve the loss of the life she expected, navigate years of being told nothing was wrong, redefine resilience, and learn that perseverance doesn't always mean pushing harder.Together, we explore what it means to stop fighting for the person you used to be and begin building a life that honors who you are now.Whether you're navigating chronic illness, burnout, caregiving, grief, retirement, or simply discovering that the old rules no longer fit, this episode is an invitation to consider a different path forward.Because sometimes resilience isn't about enduring more.Sometimes it's about learning to listen.In this episode, we discuss:• Living with chronic pain and medical uncertainty• The emotional impact of being dismissed or misunderstood• Opioid dependence and recovery• Grieving a former version of yourself• Acceptance versus giving up• Slowing down and redefining success• Reinvention in midlife• What resilience looks like when pushing harder no longer works• Lessons from Nancy's forthcoming memoir, Perilous AscentConnect with Nancy:Substack Life Inside Pain: https://nancydeyo.substack.comWebsite: https://nancydeyo.com Connect with Marianne:Website:  Message In The Middle with MarianneMessage In the Middle Facebook Group:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/422430469323847/YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@MessageInTheMiddle/playlistsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marianne-demello-smith-678b9966Email:  Contact | Message In The Middle with MarianneSubscribe to Message In the Middle:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTubeLeave Us a Review: If you enjoyed today's episode, please leave a review and share your favorite takeaway.

Summit night on Kilimanjaro started at 11:40pm in complete darkness, with nothing but a headlamp and the next step in front of me. Nine hours later, I reached the roof of Africa. If you've ever felt like your health journey is moving backward before it moves forward, this episode is for you. In this part two finale, I'm sharing the final four lessons from my Kilimanjaro climb: why progress sometimes means going higher before you go lower, why trusting the process matters  before you see results, how I made it through the hardest section by focusing on just 15 steps at a time, and why reaching the summit is only half the journey. Weight loss isn't linear, and neither is life. Your scale, your habits, your body, they're all adapting in ways you can't always measure. Setbacks aren't failures, they're often part of the process. You'll learn how to stop chasing dramatic results, trust the small steps in front of you, and understand why maintaining your progress is just as important as reaching it.   Episode Highlights: Lesson five: why sometimes progress means climbing higher before sleeping lower Why weight loss isn't linear, and how to stop mistaking a plateau for failure Lesson six: trusting the process before you can see the results Lesson seven: the 15 steps, 5 breaths strategy that got me to the summit Why focusing only on the next step matters more than seeing the whole mountain Lesson eight: why reaching the summit is only half the journey What descent and maintenance have in common, and why both take just as much intention Why the life you want is built through ordinary, repeated choices, not one dramatic moment   Connect with Dr. Alicia Shelly: Website | drshellymd.com Facebook | www.facebook.com/drshellymd Instagram | @drshellymd Linked In | www.linkedin.com/in/drshellymd Twitter | @drshellymd   About Dr. Alicia Shelly Dr. Alicia Shelly was raised in Atlanta, GA.

Jim Rickards returns for a wide-ranging macro conversation on a world where geopolitics and economics have fully merged. He lays out the US–Iran standoff as a global game of chicken — Trump betting Iran's economy breaks first, Iran betting the midterm elections break Trump first — and explains why he thinks Tehran holds the stronger hand, why regime change was always a fantasy, and how a handful of drones a week is enough to keep the Strait of Hormuz bottled up. From there he turns to gold: how he used Jim Rogers' 50% drawdown rule and fractal scale invariance to call the bottom, why central bank buying puts a floor under the market, why gold works as a deflation hedge as well as an inflation hedge, and why he stands by his $10,000 target. He also dismantles the popular "debasement trade" narrative, explains what Kevin Warsh's less transparent, market-following Fed means for investors conditioned to expect a rescue, and walks through the unwinding of the Japanese yen carry trade — which he calls the most important story in the world right now, and the one most likely to make 2027 messy. The episode closes on the darker side of AI: increasingly sophisticated voice-cloned scams aimed at older Americans.Thank you to our partners Augusta Precious Metals — To learn more, visit https://juliabuysgold.com/ or text “Julia" to 35052Monetary Metals - learn more at https://www.monetary-metals.com/julia/More about Rickards: Rickards is a New York Times bestselling author of Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis and several other best-sellers, including The New Great Depression, Aftermath, The Road to Ruin, Death of Money, The New Case for Gold, Sold Out: How Broken Supply Chains, Surging Inflation, and Political Instability Will Sink the Global Economy, and his newest book MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy.

Simone Knego, a speaker, award-winning author, and TEDx speaker, shares her personal journey in overcoming self-doubt through experiences like climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. In conversation with Coach Myrna, Simone explores the concept that confidence is a skill developed through changing self-perception rather than seeking external approval. She introduces her REAL method, focusing on self-respect and embracing failures, to help women cultivate unshakable confidence. Get insights into the impact of mindset, the importance of inner dialogue, and practical steps to transform how you see yourself.This episode brims with actionable insights on shifting one's mindset and recognizing the value of small, everyday achievements.Key themes include how Simone identifies the skill of confidence as something that is cultivated over time, comparable to building muscle. She reveals her personal and professional experience in overcoming self-doubt and how these lessons form the foundation of her coaching. Simone provides valuable insights into her "REAL" method, which outlines practical steps for achieving self-respect, embracing failures, and living without limits. Striking quotes such as, "Confidence is a skill… it doesn't happen overnight," offer listeners a fresh, liberating perspective on self-worth and the power of positive self-dialogue.Key Takeaways:Confidence must be consciously developed and is comparable to learning any new skill—constant, intentional practice is vital.External validation is not a substitute for internal acceptance; prioritizing self-respect is crucial for personal growth.Techniques like the "REAL" method offer structured ways to build self-esteem and set personal boundaries.Failures should be perceived as learning opportunities, not final judgments on your capabilities.Mindful awareness of one's inner dialogue can significantly impact mental well-being and confidence.Timestamp Summary0:02 Building Confidence by Changing Self-Perception5:16 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing a Life Without Limits11:02 Building Confidence by Changing Self-Talk and Embracing Failures15:17 Elevate Your Summer Wardrobe With Quince's Timeless Essentials17:22 Building Unshakable Confidence Through Self-Respect and Resilience24:43 Mindset Hacks: Control, Alt, Delete for Positive Thinking28:30 Finding Fulfillment Through Everyday Acts of Kindness32:11 The Impact of Societal Pressures on Self-Image and Confidence34:24 Overcoming Self-Doubt and Embracing Personal Worth39:45 The Power of Positive Self-Talk and Affirmations42:40 Building Real Confidence Through Self-Compassion and ClarityResources:Website: Simone KnegoPodcast: Her Unshakable ConfidenceBooks:"The Extraordinary Unordinary You""Real Confidence" (RealConfidenceBook.com)Social Media:Instagram: @simoneknegoSponsors of this episodeQuinceQuince is not just apparel.

In this episode, we get real about his new book, Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, the pressure of living inside a story the world wrote for him, hitting rock bottom in college, coming out as a gay man, navigating relentless questions about his disability, finding love, and why true freedom begins when you stop living for everyone else’s expectations and finally start following yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danny Gal was born and raised in the UK, and now lives outside of London. He attended University in Nottingham... yep, the same one from Robin Hood. He LOVES challenges, and not just any challenges - the hard ones. He is done Iron Man competitions, ultra marathons, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and jumped out of a perfectly good plane, to name a few. He loves doing them once... and then never again. He's got 2 small kids, and believes in work hard, play hard.Danny has worked in many roles in the past, across enterprises and the like. What he found most difficult was scaling himself. He got to talking with his now co-founder about building something around the idea of scaling oneself, and took it to some businesses to validate it. Once he saw them get excited about it, he figured they were onto something.This is the creation story of Proteams.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://proteams.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/dannygal/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://cash.app* Check out Plaud AI and use my code CODESTORY for a great deal: https://plaud.aiAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
