Haley interviews Anthony D'Ambrosio, a film producer, writer, and director as well as the founder of Sherwood Fellows. This episode discusses his film Triumph of the Heart about the martyrdom of St. Maximilian Kolbe. Haley and Anthony explore the powerful medium of film and how it can shape the imagination. And they consider the importance of letting stories of heroic suffering (like Kolbe's) shape young people so that they have the tools to face suffering when it comes, accompanied by the saints and by Christ who suffers with us.

Bear Woznick speaks with filmmaker Anthony D'Ambrosio about his new film, Triumph of the Heart, a powerful depiction of St. Maximilian Kolbe's passion and his triumph of love in Auschwitz. Anthony shares how his personal battle with chronic illness and insomnia led him to the brink of despair and loss of faith. In that darkness, the story of Kolbe became a lifeline—showing him how suffering, when embraced with love, can become redemptive.Kolbe's courage to enter the starvation bunker not only saved one man's life—it transformed a place of death into a cathedral of hope through prayer and song. Together, Bear and Anthony explore how every man is called to face his own suffering with faith, to find God at “the bitter end,” and to turn even the darkest pain into an offering of love.____________________Catch every season of Long Ride Home - https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detai...Discover Bear Woznick Deep Adventure Ministries: http://bit.ly/BearWoznickNEWEST BOOK "12 Rules for Manliness | Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" on Amazon or Bear's Online Store https://my-site-100622-104377.square....DONATE TO THE CAUSE: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...

Tadgh Beirne's red card lit the fuse this weekend, and while most of us were still debating intent versus accident, BBBB was already pledging his undying defence of the man. We ask whether a Barrett‑less All Blacks might actually be the better version. Meanwhile, SaFM continues to smoulder — is it still flames or just smoke and mirrors? Two aerial 50/50s had everyone split down the middle, Kolbe's solidity was put under the microscope, and the big questions loom: Is Quan Horn already a better bet than Andries Coetzee, should Pat Lambie still be the Boks' first‑choice 10 (yes, Ant went there), and was Faz completely mad to back Doris?

Today we dive into earnings season investing secrets. Learn the investing secrets that will grow your wealth as we dive into market analysis highlighting accounting red flags and potential overvaluation risks. Financial engineering often signals late-cycle behavior recessions, though unpopular, are necessary to clear economic “dead wood.” We also examined current earnings trends in the financial sector, technical market patterns like resistance and support levels in small caps and metals, and the importance of balancing fundamental and technical analysis. We also talk investor psychology—how emotion, bias, and sentiment often drive poor timing and decision-making in markets. We discuss...  The Kolbe test, which measures instinctive strengths and natural problem-solving styles rather than personality or intelligence. Businesses use Kolbe results to build better teams by pairing complementary working styles. We also talked current market conditions, drawing comparisons between today's tech boom and the late-1990s dot-com bubble. How Nvidia's vendor financing arrangements resemble accounting maneuvers from the dot-com era, raising concerns about inflated revenues and future write-down risks. The hosts noted signs of late-cycle behavior in markets, including excessive optimism, overleveraged valuations, and creative corporate accounting. Recessions serve an essential economic function by clearing out inefficiencies and “dead wood,” creating healthier long-term growth. A segment focused on earnings season, particularly the uneven performance in the financial sector and what it signals about underlying economic momentum. We analyzed technical market patterns, such as key resistance and support levels in small-cap indexes and precious metals. How gold and silver might act as contrarian signals or safe havens amid market uncertainty. The discussion emphasized the interplay between fundamental and technical analysis, stressing that investors should use both to form a complete market view. They highlighted the danger of emotional decision-making, noting that fear and greed often lead investors to buy high and sell low. The episode closed by underscoring the importance of maintaining discipline and objectivity, especially during euphoric or panic-driven market phases.

So welcome to the podcast, Aaron.Aaron 00:00:11  Hey Josh, thanks for having me man. So good to be here.Josh 00:00:13  Aaron, you've got a lot of experience. As we can see in operations, you've helped grow solopreneurs into multifaceted eight figure brands and helping scale people beyond that. Aaron, let's back things up and tell me, like, how did you even get started in operations? Why is that your specialty?Aaron 00:00:31  Yeah, I you know, so growing up, my dad was an entrepreneur. My dad was entrepreneurial, you know, and I saw him going out there starting his own business. For him, it was construction for him. He, you know, he had been working for some big guys doing construction in Southern California, you know, for his whole career. And at the age of 40, you know, he said, hey, I'm going to go out and do this on my own.Aaron 00:00:49  He was able to build this empire for himself. You know, of 85 people doing, you know, high rise construction ceilings in LA in Orange County. And I think inspired by his journey, I think is what inspired me. But I noticed me all growing up, you know, from my earliest jobs. I started working in skateboard snowboard shops as a kid, you know, but even there I did a lot of retail just starting out. A lot of kids do, you know. But I noticed about me is that I'm always pulling apart systems. Like, I'm always wondering, how could we tweak that? How could we make that better? Rolling into businesses that don't have training manuals and building train training manuals, you know, looking at their POS system to see how they're dealing with point of sale, like wondering how the customer journey is going to be and just compliment to you, Josh, even just the sequencing of your automations, of sending the invite to this just to be on this podcast, I was like, that guy gets it.Aaron 00:01:35  Like, let's make the customer journey easy. Like, let's take out of the way the encumbrances or the stumbling blocks. And so I think that's been my journey all the way through. right before I started the Colab team, I was doing project management for a large credit union here in our area in southern Oregon. And I was doing a lot with construction, project management, but also project management within the organization and helping with new platforms, coming online and managing teams and I had my first entrepreneur knock on my door and say, hey, he had been a friend of mine for a lot of years. His name is Keith Yaki. He's got a great brand out there. He did real estate for a lot of years, and now he's leaning into something he calls the married game. But Keith Yaki knocked on my door and he said, hey, what would you think about leaving the credit union and coming out and doing this thing with me? I need somebody that just gets operations. You know, they were doing a big bus tours, fix and flip education brand, and he was like, I, I've got all the knowledge, I've got all the education.Aaron 00:02:25  I've laid out the whole program. I know it's going to work, but I'm super nervous about the details. What would you think about taking a step with me in this? And so that became my first client for the Colab team, and I left something super stable and kind of like my dad, you know, this, this corporate gig that, you know, had been around for 50 years. They'll be around for 50 more. They loved me being there. I loved them as people. But I just saw that desire in my heart of, I want more than that. I want to be entrepreneurial. I want to get out there and get out onto my own brand, on my own two feet and take things to the next level. And so that's kind of what started me down the journey.Josh 00:02:54  I love that, I love that, you know, from an early age, you were always kind of like pulling things apart. Trying to figure ...

Send us a textA single signed offer letter sat in the mail—and Art Delorenzo felt a tug that said, “this isn't it.” That gut check rerouted him from academia to a 50‑year run in financial services and leadership development. We invited Art back to explore how he makes choices, leads teams, and keeps his life centered, all through a lens that blends instinct, deliberate learning, and everyday kindness.We talk about the real mechanics of decision‑making: how cognition (research and analysis), affect (emotion and memory), and conation (instinct and drive) work together. Art introduces the Kolbe perspective on personal MO—why innovators need to reshape the standard kit and fact finders need more data before they move. We explore gut feelings and precognition as early signals worth respecting, plus a simple way to vet a new role: talk to the people who report to the leader you'd serve. Culture is local, and style matters more than the job description.From there, we dive into habits that compound. Art swears by short, consistent learning sessions to build cognitive strength, and he doubles retention by teaching what he just learned. We get honest about asking for help, humility as a performance tool, and why treating victory and defeat as impostors steadies a team. You'll also hear two practical rituals that change daily life fast: a three‑minute transition stop before walking in the door so you're truly home when you get home, and “joy reps”—eight brief acknowledgments that retrain the brain away from negativity bias. Add in kindness as a sleep aid—recalling a face you helped that day—and you've got a human system for better work and a better home life.If you've felt the hamster wheel spinning or you're weighing a leap, this conversation gives you a grounded way to decide, act, and stay well.

AMDG. Catholic evangelist and podcaster Dave VanVickle is “obsessed” with St. Maximilian Kolbe and Marian consecration, and you should be too. In his background aiding exorcists, Dave discovered that “Mary is the lynch pin in almost every case.” Since then, Dave dove deeply into Marian consecration, inviting everyone to “give your life to Our Lady.” He discusses what Marian consecration really is (hint: it doesn't have to be 33 days long), how to approach the prayer, and why we should not view it superstitiously.   Dave found devotion to St. Maximilian Kolbe through his research into Marian consecration. “This was a man who fell so deeply in love with our lady,” Dave comments, “He was doing theology that was high level… He desperately needs to be studied.”     Links mentioned & relevant:  Dave's website The Catholic Truth about Angels, Demons, Ghosts, Exorcisms, and Hauntings  Every Knee Shall Bow podcast  The writings of St. Maximilian Kolbe and more information on Marian Consecration via the Militia Immaculata website  Related Kolbecast episodes:  100 In the Beginning with Kolbe Academy co-founder Mrs. Dianne Muth  174 Kolbe's Chiaroscuro with Anthony D'Ambrosio about his film on St. Maximilian Kolbe Triumph of the Heart  134 For Tinkerers of All Ages highlighting St. Maximilian Kolbe's engagements with media developments of his time  168 The Adventure of a Lifetime with Melissa Dee of the Saints Alive podcast  268 Pilgrimage & Jubilee with Our Lady of Champion featuring Kolbe Academy alumnus Fr.

AMDG. Catholic author Susan Peek joins the Kolbecast to discuss her mission: bringing the stories of lesser-known saints alive for teens and young adults. Susan found herself frustrated searching for morally-sound but still engaging stories for teenagers: “the plots might be exciting, the writer might be excellent— and yet there's so few things that we can give to teenagers to read.”Her first novel began as a movie script about Saint Camillus, whose struggle of conversion (and reconversion) has inspired many young readers. Today, Susan's collection of books for teens includes Saint Cloud of Gaul: The Prince Who Trades Kingdoms, St Dymphna of Ireland: The King's Prey, and Crusader King: A Novel of Baldwin IV and the Crusades, among many others.

AMDG. How can evolution be compatible with the Catholic faith? Professor of Biology at Franciscan University of Steubenville Daniel Kuebler argues that Catholic students should embrace the theory of evolution. Dr. Kuebler answers several objections to evolutionary theory, grounding his answers in the Catholic doctrine.

In this episode, we conclude our series by reflecting on the sorrowful and glorious mysteries of our lives. In the midst of our own sorrows, we talk about the mortification of authentic love, what it means to carry our cross, and how to be patient when a particular suffering seems endless. We also share the glorious ways God is working in our lives. From the beauty of color to raising our expectations in faith, we ponder how Jesus' presence in the sufferings of our lives often restores us more deeply than if He simply just healed our pain.    Heather's One Thing - First Reconciliation and Beyond by Katie Prejean McGrady Heather's Other One Thing - Show Me Your Glory by Brandon Lake Sister Miriam's One Thing - Discerning Hearts Podcast with Fr.

In this school of Mary, we learn to ‘read' Christ, to discover his secrets, to understand his message.” (Rosarium Virginis Mariae, St. Pope John Paul II)   Scripture for Lectio: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)   Sponsor - Triumph of the Heart: Triumph of the Heart is an award-winning film that tells one of the most astounding stories of world war II - when a Polish priest, imprisoned in Auschwitz, volunteered to take the place of a condemned man.  When faced with a truly apocalyptic war, St. Maximilian Kolbe showed us that Christian love can conquer the deepest horrors of the human condition. In the face of unimaginable suffering, Kolbe didn't retreat—he stepped forward, offering his life to save another. This film, about the passion of St. Maximilian Kolbe, is the most compelling look ever into both the horror and heroism that was to be found in a Nazi death camp. Audiences have already been deeply moved by the light of hope shining forth from the darkest place on earth. Triumph of the Heart is now showing in select theaters throughout the United States. Go to KolbeMovie.com to find out how you can get tickets to a masterpiece destined to become an enduring film classic. Made with a shoe string budget, many miracles from the Lord, and film quality that rivals any studio backed project, Triumph of the Heart will not disappoint.

In this episode, we explore the incredible story of St. Maximilian Kolbe—a man who kept hope alive in the darkest place on earth. While many know of his heroic sacrifice at Auschwitz, fewer have heard how he inspired his fellow prisoners to sing hymns of faith and defiance as they faced death together.For guest Anthony D'Ambrosio, Kolbe's legacy became deeply personal. After enduring eight years of a mysterious illness that stole his ability to sleep, Anthony began to experience visions of St. Maximilian. These encounters became a source of comfort and strength during his darkest nights. When Anthony later traveled to Poland to honor his hero, God placed a new mission before him: to make a film on a shoestring budget that would capture the power of grace even in humanity's most desperate hour.
Anthony said yes and in the process, he found healing, restoration, and a renewed calling to share Kolbe's message with the world. Don't miss this powerful conversation about faith, suffering, and the courage to answer God's call.Check out the movie at: https://triumphoftheheart.comNEW: Watch ad-free episodes and bonus Lila Rose Show content at https://rosereport.supercast.com as well as https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

We long to teach people how to pray and contemplative silence, inner recollection, and interior stillness are ways we can live in a relationship with God. But, there's a silver bullet to make people live in chaos and noise whether exteriorly or interiorly.  Every single day through general media we are bombarded with chaos and noise and there's this turmoil all the time both internal and external that's a direct attack on how God speaks and how He wants to give Himself. Today, in the next part of this mini-series, we'll dive deeper into the importance and experience of silence and attempt to stir people's hearts to recognize that this silence is against under direct attack and identify ways to defend against these attacks. DISCLAIMER: We apologize in advance that you can't see Br. Kolbe video like you usually do in some parts of this episode. Unfortunately, we've had some technical difficulties with his camera during the recording session that rendered some of Br. Kolbe's footage unusable.
