After a harrowing rock climbing accident, Whitney not only confronted her mortality but also rediscovered the profound importance of family and the lessons that come from our mistakes. Main Content: Section 1: The Family Lab - A New Approach to Parenting Whitney Archibald, a seasoned mother of five, has transformed her experiences into a valuable resource for families. With children ranging from 10 to 20 years old, she understands the evolving dynamics of family life. After her youngest began preschool, Whitney reignited her passion for writing, leading to her blog, "How She Moms," which eventually evolved into the podcast, "The Family Lab." She explains, "Family life is all an experiment, and we are just throwing things at the wall, trying to see what sticks." This refreshing perspective encourages parents to embrace the chaos and recognize that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to parenting. Section 2: The Unthinkable Accident On a seemingly ordinary day in July 2023, Whitney embarked on a rock climbing excursion with her children and nieces. Despite her cautious nature, a moment of oversight led to a life-altering fall. "I pride myself on being a safe climber," she recalls, but a simple mistake—failing to double-check her gear—resulted in a catastrophic 30-foot drop. As she lay on the ground, grappling with immense pain, her mind raced through a mix of emotions, including disbelief and regret. Section 3: A Moment of Clarity In the chaos following her fall, Whitney experienced an unexpected spiritual revelation. "I felt reassurance right away after I was feeling so much shame," she shared. Despite the physical agony, she found solace in knowing she was going to survive. This moment of clarity shifted her focus from despair to the practicalities of her situation. In the midst of pain and uncertainty, Whitney prioritized her family, even asking her sister to cancel upcoming appointments. Section 4: The Healing Journey Whitney's recovery was fraught with challenges, but her resilience shone through. With numerous injuries, including a broken pelvis and vertebrae, she faced a long road to healing. Throughout this journey, Whitney remained focused on her role as a mother and the lessons she wanted to impart to her children. Her experience serves as a poignant reminder that life can change in an instant, but our connections with loved ones can provide the strength to persevere. Conclusion: Key Takeaways Whitney Archibald's story is not just about overcoming adversity; it is a powerful reminder of the importance of connection, the value of vulnerability, and the necessity of embracing life's unpredictability. As she continues to share her insights through "The Family Lab," she encourages parents to experiment with their approaches and to remember that mistakes are part of the journey. Life's challenges may be daunting, but they also offer opportunities for growth, resilience, and deeper connections with those we love.

    Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and in this episode I continue my conversation with filmmaker Jaze Bordeaux as we explore the power of mindset, perspective, and personal growth — both in life and in the creative journey.During our discussion, I share a pivotal story from my own life that reshaped how I approach challenges. I talk about trying out for the basketball team and not making it — a moment that felt like failure at the time. That experience led me to join the track team, something completely outside my comfort zone.At first, I resisted it. I felt outmatched and overwhelmed. But over time, that discomfort became the very thing that pushed me forward.The turning point came during a crucial race when I realized my biggest obstacle wasn't physical — it was mental. My perspective had been holding me back. Once I reframed how I saw myself and focused on my strengths, everything shifted — and I ended up winning.Jaze and I use this story as a springboard to discuss how mindset, resilience, and reframing failure are essential tools for filmmakers, actors, and creatives navigating the industry.This episode is packed with insights on perspective, growth, and how shifting your internal narrative can change your external results.Let's dive in.Check out these links:⁠⁠⁠⁠http://jazebordeaux.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/jazebordeaux/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jazebordeaux/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.threads.net/@jazebordeaux⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@jazebordeaux⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/jazebordeaux⁠00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:06 - Discussion on Previous Topics00:00:46 - Personal Story: Track and Field Experience00:09:24 - Lessons Learned from Track and Field Experience00:10:25 - Applying Lessons to Life and Work00:12:04 - Inside the Actors Studio Questions: Morning Routine00:12:50 - Inside the Actors Studio Questions: Nighttime Routine00:13:27 - Inside the Actors Studio Questions: Meditation Practice00:15:07 - Starting Taekwondo and Reading Screenplays00:16:20 - Listening to Music: Hans Zimmer00:16:41 - Discussion on Movie 'Shame' and Favorite Hans Zimmer Track00:18:41 - What are you Watching: TV Series00:21:27 - Last Film Watched in Theater: 'Honey'00:24:07 - Contact Information and Closing

He led rifle and company units in Alaska, Afghanistan, and Iraq, was wounded in combat, and later served with The Old Guard, including a landmark deployment to Taji, Iraq. After CGSC and SAMS, he held planning and operations roles with 1st Cavalry Division, deployed to Korea and Baghdad, and served on the Joint Staff.

    Lessons Learned from Jobs Before My Education Career - What's My Point? This is episode 815 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Over the last three episodes I shared with you stories from my earliest jobs and the lessons learned. I discovered that as I reflected on these lessons that there was some common ground. There were lessons that overlapped.  From the grocery store, McDonald's, and the plumbing supply warehouse the following lessons that were part of the job then still impact me in my career in education: 1. Own Your Job. 2. Be a Teammate. 3. Be Positive. 4. You Always Have Something to Do. In this episode I reflect on those 4 lessons and how they still are part of my work world today. At the conclusion I ask you if you have any lessons that you learned from previous jobs that still influence you today. It would be awesome if you shared with me those lessons you had and how they still are there in your current world. You can shoot me an email by going to the front page of my web page https://stevenmiletto.com or look at the bottom of that same page and you will see a link to leave me a voice mail.

    In this episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm, Roger Knecht and guest Matt Putra discuss the critical differences between budgeting and forecasting in accounting, emphasizing data-driven decision-making for e-commerce businesses. They explore how financial management, including KPIs and cash flow strategies, helps fast-growing consumer brands optimize profitability and scale effectively, with a focus on AI's transformative impact. In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Matt Putra and 8x 01:03 Matt's Journey to 8x and Data-Driven Decisions 02:52 Budget vs. Forecast: Key Differences 05:57 The Importance of Budgeting and Planning 08:24 Budgeting for External Stakeholders and Accountability 11:18 Lessons Learned from Ambitious Budgeting 15:00 Financial Management for Scaling Businesses 17:49 Scorecards vs. KPIs and Dashboards 21:55 Go-To Metrics and the Island Analogy 24:51 The Impact and Application of AI in Business 31:11 Advising Founders: Selling Peace of Mind 34:16 Gratitude and Divergent Thinking 37:51 Closing Thoughts and Resources Key Takeaways: Differentiate between budgets as fixed annual plans and forecasts as malleable, frequently updated financial outlooks for data-driven decisions. Implement scorecards with 5-15 critical metrics and clear targets to simplify problem-solving and boost team accountability. Prioritize cash flow management, customer lifetime value (LTV), and customer acquisition costs (CAC) for sustainable business growth and profitability. Integrate AI into business operations to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and gain a competitive edge in the accounting profession. Understand that financial management services sell "peace of mind and confidence" rather than just data or models, addressing emotional components for founders. Featured Quotes: "If we're not in the, call it the top 10% of AI adopters, we're going to be left behind fairly quickly." — Matt Putra "We don't sell financial models. We do not sell cash flow forecasts. We do not sell scorecards. We sell peace of mind and confidence." — Matt Putra "If the business owner can hit within, say, 5%, 10%, their budget for the next year, it means they know well that business model." — Roger Knecht Behind the Story: Matt Putra recounts his transition from a CFO role with a grueling commute to founding eightx, a financial operations company. His desire for work-life balance during COVID-19 propelled him to create a business that simplifies finance for e-commerce brands. He stresses the emotional aspect of financial consulting, focusing on delivering confidence rather than just numbers. Matt Putra also shares a personal anecdote about his wife's support, which allowed him to take significant risks in building his company.

    Welcome to a milestone episode of ADHD-ish! In episode 300, host Diann Wingert invites listeners into a raw, unfiltered conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship with ADHD.Rather than a feel-good celebration, this episode delivers the hard truths that other neurodivergent entrepreneurs need to hear—no sugar-coating, no apologies, just authentic wisdom earned through real-world experience.If you're ready for tangible insight (and a few uncomfortable truths), this is your episode.Here are the 3 Hard Truths Every Entrepreneur with ADHD Needs to Hear:Your self-doubt isn't wisdom—it's unaddressed trauma.That overthinking, need for certainty, and analysis paralysis? It's not you being “strategic”—it's the residue of years spent feeling “not enough.” The real challenge is rebuilding self-trust so you can act boldly, even if you're terrified of being wrong.There's no magic pill or “perfect” system.Stop believing the next planner, project management tool, or “ADHD-friendly” hack will make entrepreneurship comfortable. Success means tolerating discomfort, not shopping for something to eliminate it.ADHD is not your get-out-of-jail-free card.Acceptance isn't hiding behind your diagnosis—it's doing the tough, creative work to adapt and grow. “I have ADHD, so I need to figure out how to do this differently” is where real progress begins.Zero F*cks Given:To “fulfilling my potential” (an ever-moving target designed to keep you feeling not enough).To being “too niched” (connection and impact mean more than pleasing the masses).to ADHD diagnosis gatekeeping (if this content helps and you see yourself here, you belong).What I WON'T apologize for:Being unmasked and openly ADHD.Holding ADHD coaches to real standards.Being selective about coaching clients (it's about the right fit—not the right paycheck).The bottom line? Consistency doesn't come from trying to “fix” yourself—it comes from radical self-acceptance, messy action, and getting honest about what really stops you.If you've been waiting for the “right” moment, the perfect plan, or permission, the only way to get clarity is to take action.About the HostDiann Wingert brings decades of experience as a psychotherapist and now a sought-after coach to entrepreneurs with ADHD traits. Her style is direct, strategic, and always honest—peppered with the insight of someone who lives and breathes the neurodivergent experience.Known for her candor and her refusal to compromise on what matters, Diann Wingert is a fierce advocate for self-acceptance and meaningful growth at the intersection of neurodivergence and entrepreneurship.If this episode inspired or challenged you, Diann wants to hear about it!

    Angelina Keeley & Aubry Bracco Survivor 50 Preseason Interviews Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) is here to chat to the cast of Survivor 50! Join us to hear from your favorite returning Survivor players! Today, Mike Bloom starts a preseason deep dive into the Vatu tribe featuring returnees Angelina Keeley and Aubry Bracco. Angelina opens up about her major life changes since David vs. Goliath, while Aubry reflects on her evolution across her storied Survivor journey, setting the stage for a season full of big personalities, new alliances, and possible blindsides. Mike chats with Angelina about what it's like to be called back after seven years away from the game, including leaving behind a young family and a new business to take another shot at the title of Sole Survivor. Angelina breaks down her approach heading into the game, how being a mom and entrepreneur brings a new flavor to her gameplay, why her “BFF, friend, or foe” approach will guide her alliances, and how she handles being labeled “chaotic.” Aubry discusses her surprise at being invited back, what she's learned from her three previous seasons, and how she aims to play with more self-awareness, adaptability, and focus on one-on-one connections. Both women weigh in on their perceptions of fellow castaways, discussing new era strategists, obvious threats, and the push and pull between loyalty and gameplay. Angelina ranks her cast as BFF, friend, or foe in a candid alliances game, revealing beef, admiration, and strategic wariness, especially when it comes to winners and new era players. Aubry shares how being blindsided in Edge of Extinction changed her approach, and why she's focused on staying grounded and present this time around. Both discuss leaving behind kids, running businesses, and the “joyful warrior” mindset they hope to channel on the island. Each interview explores Survivor's evolving meta, including whether recent winners should be targeted, which returnees are most dangerous, and how pre-existing relationships will shape alliances. Funny moments include Angelina's dream “summer solstice” camp party and her family rooting for Ozzy right alongside her. As the anticipation for season 50 builds, Mike asks: Can Angelina or Aubry climb higher on the Survivor ladder, or will new threats and old friends stand in their way? How will personal growth off the island translate into better game performance in Fiji's high-stakes returnee showdown?

    Andrew Gautreau grew up in a good family in Louisiana, but addiction took hold in his teenage years and quickly sent his life off the rails. After finishing trade school, he began getting arrested for drug offenses — yet somehow still landed a job as a prison guard, training for a month at Angola, one of the most notorious prisons in America. His time on the job lasted just six months before he quit right before being fired, all while being arrested twice for drug charges outside the prison. As his addiction spiraled further, Andrew ended up cycling through local jails and a correctional work facility, where he spent nearly two years behind bars. In this episode, he opens up about addiction, hypocrisy inside the justice system, life on both sides of the bars, and how he ultimately turned everything around and got sober. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #AddictionRecovery #CorruptPrisonGuard #LifeAfterPrison #TrueCrimePodcast #AngolaPrison #FormerInmate #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Thank you to PRIZEPICKS & LUCY for sponsoring this episode: LUCY: Go to HTTP://LUCY.CO/IANBICK and use promo code IANBICK to get 20% off your first order. _____________________________________________ PRIZEPICKS: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup! _____________________________________________ Connect with Andrew Gautreau: https://tattedbadclothing.myshopify.com/ _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Addiction to Prison Guard: A Life on the Edge 01:00 Growing Up in Louisiana and Early Influences 08:00 Family Values, Childhood Trauma, and Identity 13:00 First Drugs, Addiction, and Losing Control 18:00 First Arrests, Criminal Charges, and Consequences 24:00 Escalation: Jail Time, Probation, and Repeat Mistakes 31:00 Becoming a Correctional Officer Against the Odds 36:00 Inside Angola Prison: Training, Reality, and Moral Conflict 42:00 Daily Life as a Prison Guard Behind the Walls 47:00 Drugs, Arrests, and Walking Away from the Job 52:00 Addiction Spirals: Crime, Chaos, and Self-Destruction 58:00 Rock Bottom: Overdoses, Homelessness, and Survival 01:03:00 Getting Sober and Rebuilding From Nothing 01:09:00 Life After Addiction: Giving Back and Helping Others 01:13:00 Lessons Learned, Redemption, and Final Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.
