"Companies are bought, not sold." That's the mindset John Coogan and Jordi Hays say got them a nine-figure acquisition from OpenAI, without ever trying to sell. Recorded live at Press Publish LA, this is our second sit-down with the TBPN guys, but the first since the deal went public. Two years ago they were building a daily live show from scratch. Now they've sold it to OpenAI for nine figures, and they're breaking down exactly how they got there. We get into: Why they chose to nichemaxx in a world full of view-maximizers The importance of having a “golden retriever” mindset Why they never tried to sell the company, and how that gave them leverage What their role at OpenAI actually is It's a candid look at how staying disciplined about who you're serving can be worth more than chasing scale.

⁠Michael Duke (better known as Mr. Dodgy, or @chessproblem on X) is a Chessable author, the co-founder of Chessfam, and co-host of the Chicken Chess Club podcast. He has built a large online following through his passion for chess and his sharp sense of humor. But behind the jokes, Michael has become more serious about improving his own game. With a FIDE rating just shy of 2100, Michael was frustrated that he consistently performed much better in rapid than in classical chess. In order to change that, he sought out GM Alex Colovic for coaching after trying several instructors. He worked to address the biggest weaknesses in his game, including lazy calculation and overly ambitious opening choices. The work paid off as he defeated a grandmaster for the first time at age 38 and later held GM David Howell to a draw in a rapid game. In our conversation, Michael shares what he learned about improving as an adult, why his rapid results have always been better than his OTB results, and the practical changes that helped close the gap. We also discuss Chessfam, the ambitious new platform he co-founded to make finding and entering chess tournaments easier, as well as his observations from the recent European Chess Union Congress and the upcoming FIDE presidential election. (Please note this interview was recorded before Arkady Dvorkovich withdrew from the race.)

In this episode of The Fall Podcast, Arron sits down with Brett for a deep conversation about whitetail hunting strategy, chasing mature bucks, simplifying the hunt, personal growth, and finding more purpose in the outdoors. Brett breaks down his decision to scale back his 2026 hunting season and focus on Ohio whitetail hunting and Illinois whitetail hunting after years of trying to manage multiple states, tags, leases, and opportunities. The guys discuss how the modern hunting culture of chasing more states, more tags, and more success can sometimes take away from the reason we started hunting in the first place. A major topic of the conversation is eliminating friction — removing unnecessary obstacles that keep you from enjoying the process. Arron and Brett discuss how this applies to everything from filming hunts and creating outdoor content to whitetail scouting, deer hunting preparation, and in-season decision making. Brett shares lessons learned from years of chasing deer across different states, including why he believes focusing on fewer properties and putting more intentional effort into each hunt will lead to better experiences and better opportunities at mature bucks. The guys also dive into Brett's career in construction and development management, the frustrations that come with company growth, and the challenge of staying motivated when work becomes more about processes and reporting than solving problems. This episode goes beyond hunting as Arron and Brett talk about taking risks early in life, pursuing passions before responsibilities pile up, and setting the right example for their kids by continuing to challenge themselves. Brett also shares his journey through 75 Hard, a 75-day discipline challenge focused on fitness, mindset, nutrition, and personal development. They discuss building habits, overcoming discomfort, and getting back on track when life feels out of alignment. Topics Covered: 2026 whitetail hunting plans and focusing on Ohio and Illinois Deer hunting strategy and simplifying the process Mature buck hunting and eliminating unnecessary pressure The downside of chasing too many states and too many tags How to reduce friction in hunting and outdoor content creation Whitetail scouting, wind, entry routes, and preparation Balancing hunting, career, family, and personal goals Taking risks before life becomes complicated 75 Hard challenge, fitness, discipline, and personal growth Lessons learned from years of chasing deer across the country If you're a whitetail hunter, deer hunter, bowhunter, public land hunter, or someone looking to improve your hunting mindset, this episode will challenge you to simplify the process and focus on what truly matters. Listen to The Fall Podcast for more conversations about whitetail deer hunting, hunting strategy, outdoor lifestyle, conservation, and the stories behind the pursuit.  . . .

Last week was one I'll never forget. We had the privilege of hosting the New Orleans Saints here at IMPACT-X Performance in San Diego for an incredible week of training, recovery, fieldwork, and brotherhood. Watching these young men prepare for an NFL season reminded me of something that applies to every single one of us—whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, coach, parent, leader, or simply someone committed to becoming your best…it takes meticulous effort, coaching, hard-work, attention to detail, and big aspirations and visions to attain your wildest dreams. So here's my question to you: What if the difference between where you are today and where you're meant to be isn't more talent...but a better mindset, greater discipline, even more attention to the little things, and having the right environment and the right coaching around you to help you attain your dreams? Here's the truth: Greatness isn't reserved just for the gifted. It's earned in the habits, the details, the preparation, and the mindset you bring every single day. So you gotta bring it! Without further ado, let's dive into what was an unforgettable week with the Saints last week. In this episode, you'll learn: Why there is always another level, no matter how successful or experienced you are. How your body language and engagement reveal your leadership before you ever say a word. Why attention to detail separates good from truly great—and how the little things build championship cultures. The critical role recovery plays in sustaining high performance, energy, and longevity and what are some of the top recovery protocols. Why you can only do so much physical work—and how visualization, preparation, and mental reps create elite performers. Why mindset matters more than ever and practical ways to "Get Your Mind Right" when life tries to knock you off course. How the habits of NFL athletes can directly impact your business, career, relationships, leadership, and everyday life. Why surrounding yourself with the right people can give you the "juice" you need to keep going when the battle gets hard. No matter what season you're in, I hope one of these lessons hits you exactly where you need it. Maybe it's a reminder to pay more attention to the details. Maybe it's prioritizing your recovery. Maybe it's simply choosing to show up with better energy. Or maybe it's hearing, once again, that your battle isn't happening to you—it's preparing you for the blessing that's on the other side. And if nothing else, I believe you're going to get some "juice" from this episode. So enjoy it!

Failure isn't the opposite of success—it's often the path to it. In this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis Chappell reflects on the lessons he's learned from interviewing world-class athletes, entrepreneurs, authors, and leaders who have all developed a healthier relationship with failure. Drawing on conversations with guests like Paul Pierce, Bernard Hopkins, Trey Gowdy, Donald Miller, and others, Travis shares why reframing failure as feedback can unlock resilience, better decision-making, and long-term success in business and life. On this episode we talk about: Why successful people view failure as valuable data rather than a final verdict How fear of embarrassment keeps people from pursuing meaningful opportunities Lessons from elite performers including Paul Pierce, Bernard Hopkins, and Trey Gowdy Why entrepreneurs with previous failures often outperform first-time founders Practical ways to make better decisions, learn from setbacks, and keep moving forward Top 3 Takeaways Failure is feedback, not identity. The most successful people separate failing at something from being a failure, allowing them to learn, adapt, and improve. Fear of embarrassment is often more limiting than fear of failure. Worrying about what others think can prevent you from taking the very actions that lead to growth and fulfillment. Experience compounds through setbacks. Every failure provides lessons that improve judgment, resilience, and decision-making, making future success more likely. Notable Quotes "Failure is just information. It's feedback. It's data." "You either win or you learn—there is no losing." "Don't allow the fear of failure or the fear of embarrassment to dictate your life."

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HERETen years. More than a thousand conversations. Countless law firm owners. In this special 10-year anniversary episode of Maximum Lawyer, Tyson Mutrux reflects on the seven biggest lessons he's learned from a decade of building a law firm, hosting the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, and getting a behind-the-scenes look at what actually makes firms succeed.Rather than looking back at the podcast's history, Tyson shares the principles that have stood the test of time, from why comparison quietly destroys happiness to the reality that there is no universal blueprint for building a successful law firm. He discusses the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, embracing the hard work that success requires, learning from unexpected detours, and protecting the one asset that makes everything else possible: your health.Whether you're just starting your firm or scaling toward your next chapter, this episode is a reminder that sustainable success isn't about chasing someone else's path, it's about building the business and life that's right for you.What You'll LearnWhy comparison is one of the fastest ways to lose joy as a law firm ownerHow surrounding yourself with good, successful people accelerates your own growthWhy running a law firm is supposed to be hard—and why that's actually a good thingThe truth about "gurus," snake oil salespeople, and why there is no one-size-fits-all strategyWhy hard work still matters, even in the age of AI and automationHow setbacks, failed partnerships, and unexpected challenges often become your greatest teachersWhy prioritizing your health may be the highest ROI investment you'll ever makeHighlights 00:00 – Celebrating 10 years of Maximum Lawyer and introducing the "Lucky Seven" lessons01:30 – Why comparison is the thief of joy and the danger of measuring your success against other firms05:00 – The importance of surrounding yourself with good, successful people and protecting your environment08:30 – Why running a law firm is hard—and why there is no universal formula for success12:30 – Avoiding "one-size-fits-all" business advice and building a firm that fits your goals16:00 – Why hard work still matters, even with AI making business ownership easier19:00 – Embracing setbacks, failed plans, and unexpected detours as part of the journey21:30 – Why your health is your greatest asset and the lesson Tyson wishes he'd learned earlier

CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti open on the week's biggest policy news from SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce's statement on crypto vaults to the London Stock Exchange's launch of a 24/5 tokenized market. Then, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President's Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, joins to make the case that the CLARITY Act deserves a Senate floor vote before the August recess and argues that President Trump's agreement to subject himself to conduct restrictions is a "historic" and unprecedented ethics concession. Witt also breaks down the CFTC's expanded mission and the fight over funding and staffing. Plus, Rebecca and Renato debrief on the lessons of MiCA and the state of bipartisan compromise on the Hill, and name the state attorneys general, led by an op-ed from Montana's AG, as their Person of the Week. - This episode is brought to you by RealFi, a smarter stablecoin, backed by real-world assets.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell explores one of the most common themes to emerge from nearly 2,000 podcast episodes: identity. Drawing on conversations with entrepreneurs, athletes, and high performers—including Bonnie Schutz, John Salley, Brendan Schaub, and Tanner Chidester—Travis explains why the people who successfully reinvent themselves don't define themselves by a single job title. Instead, they build an identity rooted in their values, allowing them to embrace change, pursue purpose, and confidently step into new opportunities. On this episode we talk about: Why tying your identity to your career can keep you stuck Lessons from entrepreneurs and athletes who successfully reinvented themselves How purpose-driven career changes lead to greater fulfillment and well-being Why being good at something doesn't mean you have to do it forever Practical ways to separate who you are from what you do Top 3 Takeaways Your career is something you do—not who you are. Building your identity around your values instead of your job title makes it easier to adapt and grow. Reinvention requires letting go of certainty. The most fulfilling opportunities often come after you're willing to leave a familiar identity behind. Long-term fulfillment comes from pursuing meaningful work, not simply achieving external goals or financial milestones. Notable Quotes "This is what I want to do.

What happens when you leave your routine behind to embrace uncertainty? DJ DiDonna, Harvard Business School senior lecturer and founder of the Sabbatical Project, joins Craig Dowden to unpack the real benefits of sabbatical leave, drawn from years of research into hundreds of sabbatical-takers. DiDonna explains why extended leave delivers measurable physical healing, from resolving stress conditions like eczema and ulcers to reducing what he calls functional workaholism. The conversation also covers the confidence and creativity gains people report, the three sabbatical archetypes, and why the benefits of sabbatical leave extend to employers as well as employees.DiDonna draws on interviews with hundreds of sabbatical-takers to show that the benefits of sabbatical leave aren't reserved for the wealthy or the lucky. He argues most people can plan toward a sabbatical five years out by setting aside a percentage of income and identifying a trusted example who has already taken one. The episode also explores why founders and CEOs, despite having more flexibility, often feel trapped by the businesses they built, and how stepping away can reduce key-person risk while creating growth opportunities for junior staff.Throughout, DiDonna distinguishes the benefits of sabbatical leave from those of a simple vacation: vacations swap work tasks for leisure tasks, while sabbaticals create open space for identity change, healing, and experimentation. He closes with micro-moment strategies, like disconnecting for a long weekend, that let listeners borrow some benefits of sabbatical leave without leaving their jobs.Key TakeawaysThe benefits of sabbatical leave include physical healing, with sabbatical-takers reporting resolved eczema, ulcers, and trigger fingers.Sabbatical-takers frequently describe the experience as a peak life event, comparable to a wedding or the birth of a child.Three archetypes shape how people access the benefits of sabbatical leave: the achiever, the explorer, and the seeker.Confidence and creativity gains often outlast the sabbatical itself and carry into everyday work life.Employers benefit too: sabbaticals reveal key-person risk and reduce dependence on any single employee.Emotional recovery from work identity typically takes six to eight weeks before people feel like themselves again.Micro-moments, such as fully disconnected long weekends, offer some benefits of sabbatical leave without quitting a job.Planning a sabbatical five years in advance makes accessing these benefits feel achievable rather than disruptive.Chapters00:57 Introduction and DJ DiDonna's background05:31 Defining what a sabbatical actually is07:55 Why extended time off matters14:32 Reframing sabbaticals as realistic for everyone22:20 Time vs. space: the real difference from a vacation25:19 The emotional journey of a sabbatical28:55 The three archetypes: achiever, explorer, seeker34:02 Financial and logistical planning38:45 Sabbaticals for founders and leaders42:26 Micro-moments: everyday sabbatical practices47:06 Closing thoughts and final adviceGuest ContactWebsite: https://thesabbaticalproject.orgBook page: https://djdidonna.com/big-time-off/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/djdidonnaFAQQ. What are the main benefits of sabbatical leave?A. DiDonna's research points to physical healing, increased confidence, renewed creativity, and stronger organizational resilience.Q. How long until the mental health benefits of sabbatical leave kick in?A. Most people need six to eight weeks before feeling like themselves again, separate from their work identity.Q. Do the benefits of sabbatical leave extend to employers?A. Yes. DiDonna argues sabbaticals reduce key-person risk and reveal overly dependent business processes.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Howard Hewett. Rushion McDonald invited legendary R&B vocalist Howard Hewett to share the lessons behind his four-decade music career, focusing on perseverance, preparation, personal vision, integrity, and long-term success. The conversation was designed not only for music fans, but also for entrepreneurs, creatives, and professionals seeking insight into how sustained success is built over time. The interview blends Howard's personal journey—from Akron, Ohio, to becoming the lead voice of Shalamar—with practical life and business principles that helped him remain relevant and respected throughout his career. Executive Summary Howard Hewett reflected on his early years as a performer, the unexpected opportunity that led to his joining Shalamar, and the mindset that enabled him to capitalize on life-changing opportunities. He emphasized that success is rarely accidental; it comes from preparation, visualization, discipline, and maintaining integrity. A major theme throughout the interview was that individuals must prepare for opportunities long before they arrive. Hewett explained how years of practice and dedication allowed him to seize the moment when an audition unexpectedly presented itself, eventually launching him into one of R&B's most successful groups. Key Takeaways 1. Preparation Creates Opportunity Howard stressed that talent alone is not enough. Success occurs when preparation meets opportunity. He spent years singing and performing before receiving his breakthrough. When the opportunity to audition for Shalamar arrived, he was ready because he had already done the work. Being "ready" often matters more than being lucky. Business Lesson: Continuous preparation allows people to act decisively when opportunities appear. 2. Visualization Is Powerful Howard discussed the importance of mentally seeing success before it happens. After moving to California, he regularly visualized performing in front of thousands of people. He imagined achieving professional goals long before they became reality. Visualization strengthened his confidence and focus. Business Lesson: Successful people often create a clear vision of their future and work consistently toward it. 3. Your Reputation Matters Throughout the conversation, Howard highlighted the value of character and professionalism. Relationships in the entertainment industry were built on trust. Integrity helped sustain a career that has lasted more than 40 years. Success without character is difficult to maintain. Business Lesson: Reputation is one of the most valuable assets a person can possess. 4. Stay Ready for Unexpected Opportunities One of the most compelling stories involved how Howard joined Shalamar. He received an unexpected phone call while at the Motown building. He auditioned shortly afterward. Within days, he had joined the group and was performing on television. The rapid sequence of events showed how quickly life can change when preparation meets opportunity. Business Lesson: Major breakthroughs often arrive with little warning. 5. Longevity Requires Adaptability Howard's career has spanned multiple generations of music fans. He discussed evolving with the industry while maintaining authenticity. He recognized the importance of growth without losing his artistic identity. Longevity comes from balancing innovation with consistency. Business Lesson: The ability to adapt is essential for sustained success. 6. Believe in Yourself Before Others Do Howard spoke about having confidence in his abilities long before widespread recognition. Self-belief helped him persevere through challenges and uncertainty. Confidence strengthened his willingness to pursue ambitious goals. External success followed an internal commitment to excellence. Business Lesson: Confidence and vision often precede achievement. Notable Quotes & Memorable Messages The interview centered around several recurring themes that Howard expressed throughout the conversation: "Preparation turns opportunity into success." "You have to be ready when the door opens." "Visualization helps create the life you want to live." "Integrity is something nobody can take away from you." "Don't wait for opportunity—prepare for it." "Success starts with believing in yourself." "Always be ready because your opportunity can come when you least expect it." Overall Message The interview was ultimately a masterclass on preparation, vision, self-belief, and longevity. Howard Hewett's story demonstrates that sustained success is not built on luck alone. It comes from years of disciplined preparation, maintaining strong values, visualizing success, and being ready when opportunity arrives. For entrepreneurs, artists, and professionals alike, his message was clear: Stay prepared, protect your integrity, believe in your vision, and be ready when opportunity knocks. #STRAW #BEST #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell explores one of the most common themes shared by successful entrepreneurs, athletes, military leaders, and high performers: having a compelling vision is only the beginning. Drawing on insights from past guests including Vicente Fox, Jack Carr, and the late Steve Sims, Travis explains why consistent execution—not wishful thinking—is what transforms ambitious goals into reality. He also breaks down the science behind effective goal-setting and offers a practical framework for turning big dreams into measurable daily action. On this episode we talk about: Why purpose without consistent action is just a dream Lessons on preparation and opportunity from Jack Carr, Vicente Fox, and Steve Sims Why process goals consistently outperform outcome goals How to reverse engineer ambitious long-term goals into achievable daily habits The difference between waiting for luck and creating your own opportunities Top 3 Takeaways A clear vision is important, but disciplined execution is what ultimately creates success. The people who seem the "luckiest" are usually the ones who have spent the most time preparing before opportunity arrives. Focus on process goals—daily actions you can control—rather than obsessing over outcomes you can't directly control. Notable Quotes "Purpose needs performance. No use having purpose, but not accomplishing great things." "When someone cracks that door open just an inch, you've got to be ready to kick it in because you've prepared." "A so-so idea with implementation will always outperform perfection with no action."

Episode Summary      On January 18, 2018, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Green Beret combat medic Luke Sciulli stopped being the medic and became the patient. A booby-trapped building collapsed on him during a personnel-recovery operation, fracturing his C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae, both scapulas, and his pelvis, and leaving him with a spinal cord injury at C5. In this episode of WarDocs, SFC(R) Luke Sciulli walks through that day and the MEDEVAC chain that followed — forward surgical team, Kandahar, Landstuhl, and Walter Reed — and explains how living through the system he once operated permanently reshaped his view of casualty care, pain management, and patient advocacy.   SFC(R) Sciulli is candid about the recovery that nearly broke him. He describes the culture shock of moving from elite combat operations to a 30-bed spinal cord injury ward populated largely by elderly veterans, and the slow, deliberate realization that, in his words, the only person who was going to make his life better was him. He maps the framework that pulled him back — physical health, mental health, and career — and offers a direct message to wounded operators who cannot get out of bed: the discipline that earned the Beret, the Tab, or the Trident is still inside them.   The conversation then widens into the operational and strategic challenges Sciulli has tackled across an extraordinary career. He compares civilian and military trauma systems and argues that surgeons in major American cities now see more penetrating trauma than many military providers — making military-civilian partnerships essential to keeping skills sharp. He recounts building a joint, combined MEDEVAC architecture across five African nations, and embedding at forward surgical teams in Ukraine just kilometers from the front, where 60 to 90 casualties a day exposed gaps in Role 1 and Role 2 doctrine, risk tolerance, and interoperability that U.S. tabletop exercises rarely surface.   SFC(R) Sciulli also draws on his time supervising a 216-bed field hospital at Columbia University during the 2020 COVID surge and his current work with Vigilant Consulting and Valinor Enterprises advising on tactical medical technology. He makes the case for predictive analytics, wearables, and automated resuscitation systems to force-multiply providers in large-scale combat operations — while confronting the risk-acceptance and accountability questions that slow adoption. He closes with the cause he intends to define his legacy: fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized in the civilian, defense, and healthcare worlds, and expanding the transition programs that turn their hard-won skills into lives saved at home.

The standard WarDocs welcome sets up a firsthand look at military medicine from the austere edge of combat to the front lines of innovation. (01:10-05:30) Becoming the Casualty in Helmand Province SFC(R) Sciulli recounts volunteering to backfill a buddy's ODA as senior medic and the January 18, 2018 operation in which a booby-trapped building collapsed onto him. He details catastrophic injuries — broken C4-C6, a C5 spinal cord injury, fractured scapulas and pelvis — and the MEDEVAC through the forward surgical team toward higher care, including how his teammates stabilized and moved him. (05:30-11:30) The Recovery That Rewired Everything He describes six months split between Walter Reed and the Tampa VA, the jolt of moving from combat to a spinal cord injury ward, and the loss of career, health, and identity overnight. The turning point came when he accepted that no one else could make his life better, and built a deliberate framework around physical health, mental health, and career. (11:30-15:45) Civilian and Military Medicine, Two Ways Drawing on his paramedic, firefighter, and critical-care flight background plus SF service, Sciulli argues civilian surgeons now out-rep many military providers on penetrating trauma, making military-civilian partnerships essential. He also reflects on serving as senior medical provider for SEAL Teams Two and Eight and why interoperability comes down to people and personality. (15:45-22:45) Distance, Mass Casualties, and Lessons from Ukraine He explains building a joint, combined MEDEVAC system across Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Libya, then scales the problem to the Indo-Pacific and Eastern Europe. Embedded at forward surgical teams in Ukraine, he saw 60 to 90 casualties a day and learned hard lessons about volume, interoperability, civilian EMS integration, and U.S. risk tolerance. (22:45-32:30) Field Hospitals, Tactical Technology, and Risk SFC(R) Sciulli describes supervising a 216-bed COVID field hospital at Columbia University and why a military-style community made it work. He then identifies penetrating and shrapnel trauma as a top killer and makes the case for wearables, predictive analytics, and automated resuscitation — confronting the risk acceptance and human trust that slow adoption. (32:30-36:15) Recruiting the Next Force and a SOF Medic Legacy Speaking to students, residents, and recruiters, Sciulli reframes the pitch: the military needs people willing to operate beyond their comfort zone and scope, not just another credential. He closes on the legacy he intends to leave — fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized after service. Take Home Messages Experiencing Care Builds the Best Advocates: Living through the casualty evacuation chain as the patient teaches lessons no provider can learn from the other side of the litter. Empathy, pain management, and patient advocacy take on new meaning once a clinician has been the one strapped to the litter. Recovery Is a Decision You Make Daily: The hardest part of catastrophic injury is mental, not physical. Progress comes from a conscious choice to get up and be better than yesterday, supported by resources but driven by personal ownership of physical health, mental health, and career. Keep Military Providers Sharp in Civilian Trauma: Civilian surgeons in major cities now see more penetrating trauma and polytrauma than many military clinicians. An integrated military-civilian system that rotates providers through high-volume civilian centers is essential to keeping wartime skills ready. Plan for Volume, Distance, and Interoperability: Future large-scale combat means moving casualties across oceans and continents while relying on host-nation, partner, and civilian systems. High casualty volumes and contested distance demand generalist skill, civilian EMS integration, and a higher tolerance for operational risk. Close the Gap Between Research and the Warfighter: Government funds enormous amounts of combat casualty research and technology that never reaches frontline providers fast enough. The mission is to translate proven findings and devices into the warfighter's hands tomorrow — not years from now.   Episode Keywords military medicine, combat medicine, Green Beret medic, 18D combat medic, special forces medic, combat casualty care, TCCC, spinal cord injury recovery, polytrauma, Helmand Province, Walter Reed, MEDEVAC, forward surgical team, Ukraine combat medicine, mass casualty, large scale combat operations, LSCO, prolonged field care, tactical medicine, medical device innovation, SOF medic, military civilian partnership, WarDocs, Luke Sciulli, veteran resilience, penetrating trauma   Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #CombatMedicine, #GreenBeret, #WarDocs, #CombatCasualtyCare, #SOFMedic, #VeteranResilience, #TacticalMedicine   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission- WarDocs exists to honor the legacy of Military Medicine, preserve its history, and inspire every generation — across all Services, Corps, and Ranks — to serve with excellence and pride.

This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I not only strip down due to our A/C being out... AGAIN! We also tackle two things I never expected to happen in the same podcast: Becoming an (almost) empty nester and hunting down an estrogen patch like it was contraband due to a recent shortage.We discuss my hormones going on strike, and a voicemail from a mom preparing to send her child to college inspired us to share the biggest lessons we've learned after Lola's first year away. We also revisit "Father of the Bride" through Gen Z eyes (Spoiler: George Banks was making a lot of sense), realize that 1991 was somehow 35 years ago, play a very heated game of The Price Is Right, and give a spirited tribute to the late Bonnie Tyler. Yes, Penn got out the recorder.If you're navigating hormones, parenting grown kids, or simply trying to figure out how we all got this old, come laugh with us. We promise you'll leave feeling a little less alone. We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com.

In this inaugural episode of Required Listening, Carey talks to Gordon MacDonald. For his 80th birthday, Gordon MacDonald wrote down the 15 leadership and life lessons he's learned so far. He unpacks all of them here: how to stop cheating the people closest to you, how to survive doubt and obscurity, why you reinvent your interior life every decade, and how to ask the questions that open a heart.

All Scripture was written for our admonition and learning (1 Cor. 10:11 and Rom. 15:4). Join Andrew Wommack as he explores the life of David, a man after God's own heart (1 Sam. 13:14). Learn lessons from David's life that you can apply directly to your own.

Beau Martonik sits down with his dad, Joe Martonik, for episode 500, a milestone, listener-requested conversation that's been a long time coming. Joe's been hunting Pennsylvania whitetails for almost 50 years, watched deer densities crash and slowly rebuild, and built a lifetime of lessons most hunters never get from a single season. They walk through three deer that define Joe's 50 years: an 11-point he shot off the ground long before digital trail cameras, an eight-point that Beau and Joe hunted, but Joe ended up shooting a couple of miles away, and a buck named Stickers that took five years to close the deal on. Along the way: the giveaway announcement, a gift for Joe, and what almost 50 years in the woods actually teaches you about patience. 00:00:00 — Intro 00:08:00 — Joe's Reaction to the Podcast and Why Passing Down Hunting Knowledge Matters 00:13:00 — The "Right to Hunt" Fight and How the Podcast Started 00:21:19 — Bringing Dad on for Episode 500, the Giveaway, and a Custom Case Knife 00:26:21 — Almost 50 Years of Hunting: Joe's Start and Early Hunting Days 00:32:06 — PA Deer History: Clear-Cuts, Restocking, and Chasing a Bigger Rack 00:34:51 — Getting Back Into Bow Hunting and How Deer Patterns Changed 00:42:39 — The Homemade Trail Camera Era 00:45:10 — The 11-Point Buck and the One-Roll-of-Film Scrape 00:52:24 — Beau's Early Deer and the Lowest Deer Density Years 01:00:28 — Learning to Trust Your Gut and Beau's First Trail Cameras 01:04:19 — Handing Off a Buck: The 2010 Eight-Point 01:07:32 — GPS Nostalgia and Beau's First Heartbreak Deer 01:11:20 — Beau's First Archery Buck and the Shot That Hooked Him on Bowhunting 01:19:44 — "Stickers": The Five-Year Hunt and Strategy 01:28:16 — "It's the Only Place You Haven't Been" 01:35:45 — Recapping Joe's 2025 Season 01:43:36 — Broadhead Talk and a Saddle Platform Scare 01:56:01 — Joe's Biggest Lessons from 50 Years in the Woods Enter the Deer Camp Giveway! - ⁠https://eastmeetswesthunt.com/pages/deer-camp-giveaway⁠ Instagram:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@eastmeetswesthunt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@beau.martonik⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:   ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠East Meets West Outdoors⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Hunting Gear and Apparel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: Beau Martonik - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJon93sYfu9HUMKpCMps3w⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Discounts and Affiliate Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.eastmeetswesthunt.com/partners⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Poncho Outdoors - Poncho Outdoors makes tough, sharp-looking, no-BS apparel for hardworking outdoorsmen who put in the time year-round.

By all accounts, the Naroditsky Memorial was a touching tribute to the legendary streamer, educator and grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky. This week I welcome three guests to share their stories from the memorable event in Charlotte. Popular Chessable author and coach FM Dalton Perrine reflects on the lessons and memorable experiences of the tournament. Dalton also shares chess improvement insights from his excellent Chess Chatter newsletter and discusses Chessalyz, the AI-powered chess improvement platform he co-founded. Following Dalton, GM Eugene Perelshteyn and NM Mike Mahoney return to the podcast for an update on the "Chess Rocky" story. They discuss Mike's results after months of training for the event, along with unforgettable stories from the tournament, including their encounter with legendary GM Vasyl Ivanchuk. As always, I enjoyed hearing the stories and lessons from Dalton, Eugene and Mike, and I think listeners will find plenty to learn from their experiences. 00:04 Introduction and Background 01:01 The Narodzki Memorial Tournament Experience 04:01 Learning from Danya's Speedruns Mentioned: Chessbase India- Naroditsky Memorial Coverage https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLL2unSfeOdoM Chessbase India Interview with Danya's Mother: Daniel Naroditsky's mother shares heartfelt message to the chess community 06:53 Atmosphere and Community at the Tournament 10:04 Performance and Reflections on Games 13:01 Simplicity in Chess Improvement 16:02 Chessalyze: The AI-Assisted Coaching Platform 22:12 Future of Chessalyze and User Feedback 27:57 Advice for Ambitious Club Players Mentioned: Survive and Thrive: How to Blunder Less and Defend Better https://www.chessable.com/survive-thrive-how-to-blunder-less-and-defend-better/course/80629/ 34:00- Upcoming Tournaments and Projects Thanks to Dalton for joining!

From NHL Goalie to FaceOff E-Bikes: Dieter Kochan's Incredible Journey | The Fall Podcast What does it take to build one of the most respected hunting e-bike companies in the country? For Dieter Kochan, it started by selling a championship ring, hockey gear, and betting on himself. In this episode of The Fall Podcast, Arron sits down with FaceOff E-Bikes founder Dieter Kochan for one of the most fascinating conversations we've had. What starts as a discussion about Dieter's recent retirement quickly turns into an incredible deep dive into his journey—from a 10-year professional hockey career, to serving as a Michigan State Police K-9 officer, to building FaceOff E-Bikes from the ground up. Dieter shares the untold story of how he financed his first inventory by selling priceless hockey memorabilia and why changing the company from Stealth E-Bikes to FaceOff was one of the biggest risks he ever took. But the conversation takes an unexpected turn into one of the most eye-opening discussions on deer hunting you'll hear all year. Drawing from years of working tracking dogs in law enforcement, Dieter explains how scent really works, why many hunters misunderstand scent control, how dogs process odor, and how those experiences completely changed the way he hunts mature whitetails. Topics include: The story behind building FaceOff E-Bikes from scratch Life after retirement and balancing multiple careers Lessons learned from professional hockey and law enforcement Selling a championship ring to launch a business How K-9 tracking changed Dieter's understanding of deer behavior The truth about scent control, rubber boots, and human odor Wind, thermals, mature bucks, and making better hunting decisions Entrepreneurship, risk-taking, and following your passion Whether you're a diehard whitetail hunter, an entrepreneur, or simply enjoy hearing incredible life stories, this episode is packed with lessons, laughs, and hunting knowledge you won't want to miss. Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with another hunter who thinks they know everything about scent control.  . . .

Normally on this show, I'm the one teaching or asking the questions — but today I flipped the script. This is actually a conversation from my wife Shay's podcast, Better Way to Build, where she interviewed me. And we didn't hold back. After 20 years of marriage and 17-plus years of both of us running our own separate businesses, we got real about the actual cost of entrepreneurship — the stuff nobody puts in the highlight reel. Contentment, connection, peace — what it's taken from us, and what it's given us. So stick around, because this one's more vulnerable than what you're used to from me.

“Sometimes you have to leave home to see home.” In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin takes listeners on a journey through Shanghai, Singapore, and Bali to unpack what a month abroad taught her about thinking on her feet and appreciating the life waiting back home. What starts as an international travel adventure quickly becomes a masterclass in working parenthood, and the improv mindset required when every plan goes sideways. If you've ever had to pivot quickly, parent imperfectly, navigate uncertainty, or figure it out as you go, this episode is a reminder that flexibility is a skill you can practice. Inside This Episode: The Plan Is Just a Suggestion: Delayed flights, closed restaurants, language barriers, and disappearing Wi-Fi become an unexpected lesson in adaptability. Erin shares why asking, "New scene, what's the move?" is often more useful than clinging to the original plan. How Discomfort Expands Your Capability: Whether it's navigating unfamiliar cities, managing food restrictions abroad, or solving problems without your usual routines, Erin explores why confidence often shows up after comfort leaves the room. The Truth About Good Enough Parenting: Forget perfect parenting. Erin reflects on what it means to be present, resourceful, and human while parenting on the road—and why that's more than enough. Why Your Village Matters More Than Ever: From family support to travel companions to the people who step in when life gets complicated, this episode is a celebration of the teams, communities, and ensembles that make hard things possible. Sometimes You Have to Leave Home to See Home: Distance has a funny way of creating clarity. Erin shares how stepping away from everyday life gave her a deeper appreciation for her routines, her community, and the life she built. What to Do Now: Treat the Plan Like a Draft: The next time something changes unexpectedly, ask yourself: "What's possible now?" instead of "How do I get back to the original plan?" Collect Evidence of Your Capability: Keep track of moments when you handled something difficult, unfamiliar, or inconvenient. Your resilience deserves receipts. Strengthen Your Village: Reach out to someone who has supported you recently and let them know the difference they made. Gratitude is one of the fastest ways to strengthen community. Your Freebie You're calm, capable, and composed… until things take an unexpected turn (as they tend to do)!

On this  re-release episode of the Live Greatly podcast, Kristel Bauer sits down with organizational psychologist, Stanford professor, bestselling author, and leadership expert Robert Sutton to discuss how leaders can reduce unnecessary workplace friction, build stronger teams, improve organizational culture, and create environments where people can thrive. Drawing from his book The Friction Project, Robert shares insights on identifying "bad friction," making work more effective, receiving feedback with greater resilience, building self-awareness as a leader, and why his famous "No Asshole Rule" continues to be so relevant in today's workplace. Whether you're leading a team, managing organizational change, or looking to improve workplace performance, this conversation offers actionable insights to help you become a more intentional and effective leader. Tune in now! Key Takeaways From This Episode What workplace friction is—and how to recognize it How great leaders remove unnecessary barriers to success Lessons from The Friction Project The leadership principles behind the "No Asshole Rule" How to build greater self-awareness as a leader Why receiving honest feedback is essential for growth ABOUT ROBERT SUTTON: Robert I. Sutton is an organizational psychologist and professor of Management Science and Engineering in the Stanford Engineering School. He has given keynote speeches to more than 200 groups in 20 countries, and served on numerous scholarly editorial boards. Sutton's work has been featured in the New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Atlantic, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, and Washington Post. He is a frequent guest on various television and radio programs, and has written eight books including The Friction Project, and two edited volumes, including the bestsellers The No Asshole Rule; Good Boss, Bad Boss; and Scaling Up Excellence. About the book THE FRICTION PROJECT: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder (St. Martin's Press; January 30, 2024), bestselling authors and Stanford professors Robert I. Sutton and Hayagreeva "Huggy" Rao present a decade's worth of research on what ought to be easy and what ought to be hard in organizations, and how to change things for the better.

Dr. Adam Dorsay, Silicon Valley psychologist and host of the SuperPsyched podcast, reflects on watching the World Cup final with his father and draws psychological lessons from the match's global scale. He contrasts the goalie's prevention-focused role with the striker's acquisition-focused role, linking this to positive psychology's avoid goals versus approach goals and noting that approach mindsets are more enjoyable and effective; he describes a long conversation with Dr. Leidy Klotz about goalie psychology. He also shares Annie Duke's distinction between resulting and decision-making, arguing that good decisions can be overlooked when only final outcomes are remembered. Upset by an announcer saying “the king is dead” about Lionel Messi after a loss, he criticizes win-or-nothing thinking, urges cognitive flexibility, and advocates celebrating multiple “GOATs” rather than diminishing others, emphasizing integrity, effort, and appreciating human potential in sport.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 World Cup Awe02:01 Goalie Psychology04:15 Approach vs Avoid Goals05:24 Results vs Decisions07:07 Legacy and Forgetting07:51 The King Is Dead09:53 Beyond One GOAT11:38 Closing Reflections

Jake Jurewicz is the Co-founder and CEO of Blue Energy, a nuclear power plant developer. Blue Energy starts with proven, light water reactors and builds everything around them — prefabricating standardized nuclear plants as massive modules in shipyards and fab yards, then barging them to site. It pairs that with a patented gas-to-nuclear approach that energizes the plant on gas turbines first and converts to nuclear later. The goal is to make nuclear cheap enough and fast enough to build that private lenders will finance it, rather than the taxpayers and ratepayers who've carried almost every plant built so far. The company recently announced a collaboration with GE Vernova on a 2.5-gigawatt gas-plus-nuclear project in Texas, built around GE Vernova Hitachi's BWRX-300 reactor, with backing from VXI Capital, At One Ventures, and Engine Ventures. The why now is straightforward: AI data centers are pulling on the grid harder than anything in a generation, firm clean power is scarce, and the cost and speed of building nuclear have been the thing holding it back. Jake's bet is that the fix lives in how you build and finance the plant, rather than in the reactor itself.

What happens when everything looks successful on the outside, but something still feels “fine”? In this episode of the Starter Girlz Podcast, Jennifer Loehding sits down with leadership coach and Limitless partner Tiffanie Janowitz to explore self-trust, personal growth, intentional living, and the hidden cost of settling for “fine.” Growing up with a checklist of expectations, Tiffanie believed success meant following the rules, checking every box, and building the life she was supposed to want. But after challenging long-held beliefs, navigating a breast cancer diagnosis, and redefining what fulfillment really means, she discovered that “fine” isn't a destination—it's often the very thing keeping us stuck. In this powerful conversation, Jennifer and Tiffanie explore why self-trust is the foundation of meaningful success, how personal development fuels business growth, and why the biggest breakthroughs often begin when we stop living on autopilot. They discuss the danger of inherited beliefs, the importance of questioning old narratives, and how learning to trust your own voice can completely change the trajectory of your life and career. If you've ever felt successful on paper but unfulfilled inside, this episode will challenge the way you think about growth, purpose, and what it truly means to live intentionally. About Tiffanie Janowitz Tiffanie Janowitz is a mentor and coach to leaders who are ready to stop performing and begin operating at their true potential. Her path has been shaped by a series of personal and professional reckonings, including challenging deeply held beliefs, navigating major identity shifts, advocating for herself through breast cancer, and rebuilding her life with a stronger foundation of self-trust. Today, she works alongside her partners at Limitless Society, where personal development and business development are intentionally brought together. Through coaching, leadership development, and community, Tiffanie helps people reclaim their time, energy, agency, and ability to create a life that feels genuinely aligned.
