Podcasts about launchpad

In this episode of The Steve Weatherford Show, Steve sits down with Michael Rutherford to unpack one of the most powerful transformation stories to come through Launch Pad. Michael shares how he once had the appearance of success — money, status, business wins, and the ability to do whatever he wanted — yet underneath it all, his life was unraveling. He opens up about being lukewarm in his faith, carrying shame, addiction, self-hatred, brokenness, and eventually reaching a point where everything he thought gave him identity began to collapse. His story takes a dramatic turn when he walks into men's prayer, breaks down in front of the room, gives his life fully to Jesus, and immediately asks to be baptized — even saying, "Find a river, find a pool, find a toilet." This episode is valuable because it shows what true surrender can look like when a man stops trying to fix his life in his own strength and finally lets God take over. Michael's testimony is raw, emotional, convicting, and hopeful — especially for men who feel disqualified by their past, trapped by shame, or defined by what they can provide. From losing money and identity, to battling suicidal thoughts, to finding freedom, baptism, brotherhood, and renewed purpose, Michael's story is a reminder that God can use the very places of brokenness we thought made us unusable. This is not just a story about hitting rock bottom; it is a story about resurrection, obedience, and what can happen when a man fully surrenders to Jesus.

(8) Bob Zimmerman concludes by revisiting the Apollo 1 catastrophe, where three astronauts died due to "hubris" and careless engineering on the launchpad. This failure forced NASA to adopt total honesty, resulting in critical safety redesigns like the new hatch and atmosphere. Simultaneously, the Soviet program suffered its own tragedy with the death of cosmonaut Komarov during Soyuz 1's re-entry. These setbacks forced both nations to slow their pace and prioritize rigorous testing. The guest notes that without these disasters, a moon landing might have occurred in 1967, but the resulting caution ultimately shaped the success of Apollo 8.

Dr Jeffrey Gillis is a research professor of physics at Wash U. He joins Megan Lynch with an explanation of the impacts of the recent Blue Origin launchpad explosion which destroyed the program's sole Florida launchpad, which could take more than a year to rebuild. Artemis 3's planned return to the moon would utilize space vehicles built by Blue Origin and launched from that damaged location, is the program stalled?

HT2638 - Photograph As Launch Pad It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that a photograph is a destination of a viewing process. It's as though seeing a photograph puts a period at the end of an experiential sentence. The reason I call this a trap is because it seems much better to me to consider a photograph as a launch pad for an experience, one that encourages a train of thought, a series of questions, a dialog, a search for meaning and understanding. A photograph that only provides answers is easy to forget. This RSS feed includes only the most recent seven Here's a Thought episodes.

A rocket explodes during a test at the launch pad. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports.

-Owner Jeff Bezos said it was a "very rough day,” but the company will rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. As The New York Times reports, the explosion occurred on Blue Origin's only launchpad for New Glenn, and it could take several months for the company to repair it. -Uber shuttles to and from the stadium will only be available in Miami. In the other three locations, the company will only be offering shuttles to leave the venues.  In Miami, Dallas and Boston, fans will have to pay $45 for a ride, while it's $49 for the New York-New Jersey venue. -The crypto business, run by twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, agreed to a $5 million fine in early January 2025 after the CFTC sued it for making false or misleading statements regarding its bitcoin operation.

On this episode of Pilot Season Cartoon Edition, hosts Kinte, Renee, Jen, John, and Allen break down the pilot episode of DuckTales (1987), “Don't Give Up the Ship” which originally aired on September 18, 1987.   In this classic opening adventure, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are sent to stay with their wealthy great-uncle Scrooge McDuck, setting the stage for a brand-new life filled with danger, treasure, and globe-trotting excitement. What begins as a family visit quickly turns into a high-stakes adventure as Scrooge, the boys, and their allies find themselves caught up in mystery, villains, and the kind of wild treasure-hunting fun that would define the series. The pilot introduces the world of DuckTales with action, humor, heart, and the spirit of adventure that made it one of the most beloved cartoons of its era.   Podcast airdate: 5/28/26   #DuckTales #PilotSeasonCartoonEdition #WooOo   John 8.4 Allen 9 Jen 9 Kinte 9 Renee 9 Total: 36   Brief history   DuckTales (1987) was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and premiered in 1987 as one of Disney's biggest pushes into syndicated television animation. The series was developed as a high-adventure cartoon built around Scrooge McDuck, expanding on the Disney duck universe with treasure hunts, globe-trotting stories, comedy, and family-friendly action. It became a major success because it combined strong animation, memorable characters, and cinematic adventure in a way that stood out from many cartoons of the era. The show was inspired in part by the classic Uncle Scrooge comics created by Carl Barks, and it helped turn Scrooge, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Launchpad, and Webby into TV icons for a new generation. Its success led to merchandise, a theatrical movie, and a long legacy as one of Disney's most beloved animated series.

This smoke didn't come from rockets that propel astronauts to space.

Today, we're dissecting pricing and positioning. Two of the six indicators I use when working with clients to assess whether their revenue is truly resilient or a reflection of a good season. And before you skip past this one thinking you've got it handled, stay with me, because this conversation goes a lot deeper than having a high-ticket offer. Most founders don't discover their revenue is fragile until something shifts. Whether that be a market shift, the need to step away for personal reasons, or something that is simply out of your control, the gaps that have gone quiet for some time, like declining client engagement or reduced profit margins, are now impossible to ignore. Exploring pricing and positioning can reveal opportunities you might be missing. Not because they're the most obvious, but because they quietly affect everything else. In this episode, I share the story of a client, we'll call her Andrea, who came to me charging $50 a session with a goal of hitting six figures. We sat down, did the math together, and the picture became clear pretty quickly. Something had to give. Within two and a half years of adjusting her pricing and repositioning her offer, she was well on her way to half a million in revenue. Not because she worked harder, but because we built the right structure for her. That's what this conversation is really about. Wherever you are right now, this is your invitation to take an honest look. Are your offers still profitable? Are they still necessary? And is your positioning aligned with who you actually want to serve now? -Dr. Nadia If you're a woman founder who has built your business primarily through referrals, relationships, and trust, but you know it's no longer sustainable, here's how we can work together. Revenue Resilience Diagnostic: You've been sensing potential revenue exposure for a while. You just haven't had language for it or a clear picture of exactly where the risk lives. The Revenue Resilience Diagnostic gives you both. Through a pre-work assessment, a focused 60-minute session, and a written Revenue Resilience Plan delivered within 72 hours, we identify your specific gaps and give you a clear place to start. This is not a generic plan, but one built for your business specifically. This is where most founders start. Revenue Resilience Advisory: You know what needs to change. Now you want a strategic partner in your corner while you build it. Advisory is 90 days of focused support for founders who are ready to stop being the bottleneck in their own business and start building something that doesn't require them to be present for everything. The Launchpad: This is the full build. If you're ready to stop being the only one who knows how things work, the Launchpad is where that changes. You'll leave with your methodology out of your head and built into the business, documented, systematized, and operable by your team, so your revenue is no longer dependent on you being present for all of it. Not sure where to start? Click here and let's have a conversation.

He argues that people often aren't “hating” or jealous; they may simply see you through an old version of yourself, sometimes even as protection, but it can keep you stuck. Anderson urges men to avoid stagnation by networking, traveling, and intentionally forming new, genuine friendships—especially since many men stop building new relationships between ages 25–35. He emphasizes honoring roots without abandoning family and longtime friends while expanding beyond comfort zones. He proposes a “social ecosystem” with foundation, growth, accountability, and casual relationships, and challenges listeners to send two messages this week: reconnect with one person and reach out to one new person.00:00 Outgrowing Familiarity00:58 No Honor at Home02:36 Familiarity Trap Explained04:42 Networking for Growth06:20 Why Men Stop Connecting08:19 New Rooms New Vision13:50 Launch Pad or Landing Pad14:45 Expand Fellowship Circles16:26 Honor Roots Keep Growing18:49 Social Ecosystem Framework22:46 Built for Expansion23:49 Weekly Connection Challenge24:58 Wrap Up and Next StepsVideo Clip at the start: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXP0X5zAZxp/Show is Recorded, Edited and Produced by Darryl D Anderson of Ambassador Media GroupVoiceOvers by Christopher Bell and Allen Iverson (AI)Intro Theme Song Edited by Darryl Anderson (AMG) and Mixed by Damion Hill of E-Mix OnlineVISIT OUR WEBSITE for Man2Man 360PLEASE SUBSCRIBE YouTube Page: youtube.com/@man2man360Facebook Page:  Facebook.com/Man2Man360Podcasts drop every Saturday at 9am EST.Full Episode Youtube drops every Saturday 8PM ESTLicensed to use song:Tough Kid https://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/tough-kidIt's Raining Againhttps://www.premiumbeat.com/royalty-free-tracks/it-s-raining-againSFX - https://musicradiocreative.com/Try our NEW Fan Mail experience and send us a Text Message from HERE!

Your podcast becomes a magnet for authority-building relationships. -  Book as Launchpad, Not a Destination The mistake experts make is stuffing their lifetime of work into a single book. Instead, focus on solving one clear problem and use the book to launch your authority into speaking, media, and additional products. -  Toolkit Must-Haves for Authority Build a robust social profile where your audience hangs out, a one-page website filled with visual proof, a compelling headline, and a marketing bio written in the language of your ideal client. Ignore job titles. Iinstead, define yourself by the impact you create. -  Influence Means Breaking Out of Your Silo Real influence happens when you reach beyond your traditional niche and connect across industries. Be memorable, deliver quotable insights, and create partnerships that elevate your visibility. -  Power of Mapping Your Road and Brand Having a vision for your platform and a well-defined filter for your brand allows you to create content that can't be copied and resonates deeply with your audience.   Episode Highlights: How to overcome the fear of marketing and technology Using audience complaints to craft your unique positioning Leveraging podcast SEO to attract not just clients but powerful collaborators Why book launches work better at breweries than bookstores and create true community buzz   Allison Lane's Free Gift: Get the Free Authority Guide: Unlock your pathway with Allison Lane's "Seven Shifts to Build Real Authority."

Kerry Lutz and David Erfle break down silver's violent move—was the breakout a fakeout, or the setup for something bigger? After a parabolic run, both gold and silver saw sharp reversals, with gold briefly testing its 200-day moving average and silver correcting roughly 50%. They argue the selloff was driven more by margin calls and forced deleveraging than any real change in fundamentals. The bigger picture still leans bullish. Silver remains in a multi-year structural deficit, with most supply coming as a by-product, while physical demand—especially from Asia—stays strong. They also touch on macro pressure points, including Fed policy constraints, rising debt, and upcoming economic data that could shift market direction. Key levels to watch include GDX and GDXJ around their 200-day and 18-week moving averages, with GDX near 95 as a signal for a potential bottom. The conversation ties it all together: extreme volatility now, but a larger move could be right around the corner.

It feels like it would be glamorous to be a pioneer of a new cuisine in a new city but rarely does that translate into success. It's hard enough to sell something someone has heard of before. Today we sit down with the exception to the rule. Chef Anthony Mangieri is almost singularly responsible for the introduction of neapolitan pizza to New York. He's built a reputation for himself while building awareness for his greatest passion. We discuss, what it took to inform the market, the evolution from chef to restaurateur, and the path from that restaurant to the local grocer's freezer section. For more information on the chef and his concepts, visit https://unapizza.com/._________________________________________________________Today's episode was brought to you by Loop AI.

Alice Henderson discusses the challenges of writing thrillers set in nature, her adventures in plotting, and how listeners can contribute their own regional climactic observations to ecological research. Plus, she offers a preview into the latest installment of her Alex Walker thriller series, Storm Warning. Alice Henderson's love of wild places inspired her new thriller series, which begins with A Solitude of Wolverines, as well as her novel Voracious, which takes place in Glacier National Park. Alice is a dedicated wildlife researcher. Using a variety of methods including bioacoustic studies, she undertakes wildlife surveys to determine what species are present on lands that have been set aside for conservation. There she ensures there are no signs of poaching and devises ways to improve habitat. Using geographic information systems (GIS), she also designs wildlife corridors and builds habitat suitability models and species distribution models. She has surveyed for the presence of grizzlies, wolves, spotted owls, wolverines, jaguars, endangered bats, and more. She has also written media tie-in novels, including official novels for the TV shows Supernatural and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While working at LucasArts, she wrote material for several Star Wars video games. She was selected to attend Launchpad, a NASA-funded writing workshop aimed at bringing accurate science to fiction.

https://teachhoops.com/ A great basketball warm-up is more than just a way to break a sweat; it is the "Launchpad of High Performance." Too many teams waste the first 15 minutes of their floor time with lazy "line-layups" that bear no resemblance to game speed. To gain a competitive advantage, you must move toward a "Dynamic & Progressive" model. The goal is to elevate the core temperature, activate the central nervous system, and sharpen "Basketball IQ" simultaneously. By the time the opening tip happens, your players should not only be physically loose but mentally "locked-in" to the pace of the game you intend to play. The second pillar of an elite warm-up is "Cognitive Priming." Instead of generic stretching, utilize "Small-Sided Games" (SSGs) like 2-on-1 or 3-on-2 "Transition Scrambles." These drills force players to make rapid decisions—reading the defense, finding the open man, and finishing under pressure—before the game even starts. This "primes the brain" for the chaos of a real game. In the mid-season January grind, when energy can be low, these competitive mini-games instantly elevate the "vibe" of the gym. Remember, if your warm-up is "quiet," your start to the game will likely be "flat." Finally, your warm-up must include "Skill-Specific Calibration." Every player should have a "Routine within the Routine"—a specific set of high-repetition tasks tailored to their role. Guards should get "ball-screen reads" and "paint-touch" finishes, while posts should focus on "rim-runs" and "short-corner" footwork. This ensures that every athlete has touched the ball in the "Sweet Spots" of the floor where they will be expected to produce during the game. Utilize your TeachHoops member calls to "audit" your pre-game clock: are you spending too much time on "static" movements and not enough on "Rep Density"? A team that warms up with "intentionality" is a team that starts every game with a 6-0 run. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, I dig a bit deeper into the idea Sairan Aqrawi brought up in her interview: that we all have "hidden gems" within us, and that as we hit midlife, we have the opportunity to uncover them. My suggestions for you from this conversation are:Allow yourself time for reflectionExperiment and exploreBuild a supportive communityReframe your mindset about agingGive back or mentor othersTake care of your body and mindIf you're struggling to figure out your next step, reach out!

In this podcast, my friend Blake Prime shares how the 16-year business he built eventually became an idol that pulled him away from God, his wife, and his kids. From the outside, everything looked successful — a thriving fitness company, influence in the church, and a strong social media presence. But behind the scenes, Blake felt like a fraud. Everything changed during a mission trip to Honduras when he felt God clearly tell him to walk away from the business he had built for over a decade. Ironically, Blake first came to Steve Weatherford's Launchpad event just to see if Steve was legit — and to learn his system so he could use it himself. Instead, God used that moment to completely transform his life. In this conversation, Blake and Steve talk about success becoming an idol, the hidden struggles many men carry, and how humility, brotherhood, and surrender can lead to true freedom and restored families.

You're showing up. You're posting. You're doing all the things the marketing gurus told you to do. So why aren't the sales following? In this episode, I am getting into the real gap between posting consistently and selling consistently, and it has nothing to do with how much content you create.I unpack why treating content and sales as the same mechanism is the root cause of the content hamster wheel so many creative founders feel trapped in. I introduce the concept of magnetism vs. visibility, walk you through my 4V Founder Frequency (Vision, Voice, Visibility, Vibration), and show you why inconsistency is often a brand identity issue, not a discipline problem.If you have been blaming yourself for inconsistent sales while showing up every single day, this episode is your permission slip to stop the self-judgment and start building a real sales rhythm alongside your content. One that feels authentic, fun, and sustainable.In this episode, you'll learn:[00:57]  Why posting more without a brand foundation is like spinning your wheels[03:12]  The critical difference between being visible and being magnetic[06:45]  What the ‘content hamster wheel' really is and the mindset shift that breaks you free[09:10]  Why your inconsistency is not a character flaw. It is actually a brand signal worth paying attention to[11:38]  The 4V Founder Frequency: Vision, Voice, Visibility, and Vibration explained[14:20]  How to bridge the gap between your content strategy and your sales process[16:55]  What a real sales rhythm looks like (hint: it's not pushy or performative)[18:02]  How to become so magnetic that people come seeking YOU outHere are the resources mentioned in the show:The Launchpad, Daily Audio CoachingObsessed Challenge (starts March 9)Desire AI (for jewelry designers)Are you enjoying the podcast?

Earth's orbit is full of space junk like out-of-service satellites that completed their mission long ago. One study even estimated that 100 trillion pieces of space debris are floating outside the planet. Joel Sercel, CEO and Founder of TransAstra, shares insights on space debris capture technology that has the potential to make space more accessible and sustainable for future generations.

What does it actually take to generate $22 million across multiple creative businesses over 30 years? In this raw, behind-the-scenes solo episode, I pull back the curtain on the real highs, the hard lows, and the identity shifts that made all the difference.From leaving my Nordstrom job with a dream and a prayer, to scoring a $4,000 fax order from Twist in Portland, to experiencing bankruptcy and rebuilding with a completely new mindset. I map out the through-line that connects every pivot, every plateau, and every quantum leap I've taken as a creative founder. The secret? It was never just strategy. It was always identity first, sales rhythm second.I also share the 4V Founder Frequency (Vision, Voice, Visibility, Vibration) and explain why founder-led branding is not just a trend. It is the most powerful business asset you can build in an AI-saturated world. Plus, I share how The Launchpad (my daily audio coaching program) is helping creative founders step into iconic brand status every single day.In this episode, you'll discover:[00:00] The Launchpad intro: what daily alignment actually does for your sales[02:10] My 30-year journey: from jewelry designer to $22M founder across 5 businesses[08:17] The $4,000 Twist fax order that changed everything, and what hustle really means to me[11:32] Why sales is the lifeblood of your business (and how each pivot required a new rhythm)[15:00] The 4V Founder Frequency and why founder-led brands win in the age of AI[20:12] The bankruptcy moment at Whole Foods, and the identity work that rebuilt my confidence[25:00] How to become a vibrational match for the sales and income you desire[27:30] The Obsessed challenge and how to join my free 5-day sales eventHere are the resources mentioned in the show:The Launchpad, Daily Audio CoachingObsessed Challenge ( starts March 9)Desire AI (for jewelry designers)Are you enjoying the podcast?
