Experience is a priceless teacher. Today, Joyce shares how every trial builds strength, deepens faith, and prepares you for God's next chapter in your life.

I came across this post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he shared this thought:  “You won't always feel confident. But you can always be courageous and take action anyway.”  This fit in exactly with a podcast from Sam Crowley - you can find this episode HERE. Sam was talking about going through a rough time a year ago when he was stuck and he pushed through so that he could clear things up and pivot into a new direction for his life.  So much to pick up from others like Jon and Sam. Everyone goes through “stuff” and we can get though our “stuff” with the help of others and the reminders to be courageous.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Have you ever chased success, only to realize it didn't give you the freedom or fulfillment you hoped for? In this transformative episode, host Nicole Jansen sits down with Mark Rampolla - founder of ZICO Coconut Water, co-founder of Groundforce Capital, and author of The Entrepreneur's Guide to Freedom: 7 Steps to Living Beyond Limits. Mark shares a refreshingly honest look at building ZICO from his garage into a global brand which he sold to Coca-Cola for $200 million (before buying it back a few years later) - and the unexpected discovery that financial success alone doesn't guarantee meaning or joy. Together, Nicole and Mark dive into why entrepreneurs become trapped in the pursuit of more, how the success industry subtly shapes our definitions of achievement, and the practical steps to experiencing internal freedom and fulfillment—right now. If you've ever wondered why your wins still feel incomplete, this conversation offers a roadmap for shifting your mindset, avoiding burnout, and leading from a place of clarity and purpose. You'll also hear what investors truly look for in founders and why personal transformation is the hidden engine behind sustainable business growth, even in seasons of loss. What We Discuss in This Episode What does real success look like, and how does your definition evolve as you grow? Why do entrepreneurs remain stuck in the cycle of chasing more, and how does the success industry reinforce it? How can you prevent burnout and create genuine satisfaction while building your business? What are Mark's seven steps to entrepreneurial freedom and fulfillment? How does self-awareness open the door for personal and team transformation? Which inner habits and tools help you navigate challenges and create lasting freedom? What do top investors like Mark value in founders beyond revenue and metrics? How did losing his home in the Palisades wildfire reshape his perspective on what truly matters? Why is self-reflection essential for both business success and personal joy? How can you begin practicing fulfillment, peace, and purpose in your business today? Timestamps & Highlights 00:00 - Why Success Doesn't Equal Fulfillment 04:50 - Be Honest with Yourself 08:12 - How the Success Industry Creates Burnout 09:58 - Success Through Fulfillment and Presence 15:39 - Personal Growth Strategies for Entrepreneurs 17:44 - Shared Freedom and Self-Reflection 20:28 - Escaping the More Mindset 23:32 - Creating Challenges After Retirement 26:18 - Choosing Passion and Purpose 30:59 - Investor Insights: What Founders Must Know 32:54 - How to Lead with Purpose & Clarity 36:25 - Life Lessons from Losing Everything in a Fire 39:50 – Finding Freedom Within 10 Key Takeaways for Finding Freedom & Fulfillment Beyond Money 1. External success doesn't equal inner fulfillment. Financial wins feel good—but they rarely create the deep satisfaction we're truly seeking. 2. The success industry profits from your sense of not enough. Entrepreneurs are constantly sold the belief that the next achievement will finally make them happy. 3. Personal growth is the real engine of business growth. Your company can only expand to the level of your own self-awareness and development. 4. Fulfillment is available in the present moment. Freedom isn't something you achieve later - it's something you cultivate now. 5. Self-awareness creates genuine confidence. Seeing your strengths clearly - and owning your blind spots - accelerates your leadership. 6. Your limiting beliefs are not reality. Challenging your assumptions opens the door to new possibilities and breakthroughs. 7. Burnout undermines your whole ecosystem. Your team and your company feel the impact when you're depleted - renewal is non-negotiable. 8. Coachability and humility matter more than ego. Investors and partners look for leaders who are curious, adaptable, and willing to grow. 9. Loss can become a doorway to freedom. Releasing attachments to things reveals deeper sources of peace and inner security. 10. Lasting success is built on inner transformation. When you evolve on the inside, your relationships, leadership, and business naturally elevate. Favorite Quotes Your business can't grow if you don't. If I can build safety and security within me, without the house—that is liberating and powerful. What annoys us in another is a reflection of what's going on in us. Join Nicole Jansen for this powerful, eye-opening conversation with Mark Rampolla. Discover how to cultivate genuine freedom, fulfillment, and purpose - starting today - from the inside out.

Today's quick episode is all about the one thing most high achievers avoid but desperately need: space to think.So many of us stay busy out of habit, even when we say we want change. But your next level doesn't come from doing more—it comes from creating room for clarity, intuition, and the ideas you can't access when you're running nonstop.I'm sharing a powerful question I'm giving all my clients for 2026:If a billion-dollar CEO took over your business and life, what are the first three things they'd remove from your plate?To grow, you need four things: clarity, confidence, space, and delegation. And if you think you don't have time for any of this—I promise, your screen time says otherwise. If you enjoyed this episode, make sure and give us a five star rating  and leave us a comment on iTunes, Podcast Addict, Podchaser and Castbox about what you'd like us to talk about that will help you realize that at any moment, any day, you too can decide, it's your turn! 

Unforgettable Lessons, Laughs, and Life on The Sandy Show.  Episode Description Can a single day in a hospital change how you see life, love, and forgiveness? That's the question at the heart of this episode of The Sandy Show, where Sandy McIlree and Tricia dive deep into the emotional impact of binge-worthy TV, family quirks, and the little things that make life memorable. This week, Sandy shares his newfound obsession with “The Pit,” an HBO Max hospital drama that's mesmerizing and brilliantly written—even for someone who's never been a fan of the genre. The show's unique format, where each episode covers just one hour of a single day, hooks viewers with its intense character development and gripping storylines. Sandy recalls a powerful moment: “When someone passes away, you say four things: ‘I love you. Thank you. I forgive you. Please forgive me.' I thought that was so cool. I had never heard that before.” Tricia and Sandy also reflect on how pets mirror their owners' personalities, sharing heartfelt stories about their dog Shiny's protective nature and how three-quarters of dog owners see themselves in their pets. The episode takes a fun turn with rapid-fire Q&A, revealing Tricia's favorite movie (“F1—so freaking good!”), her least favorite workout (“Side lunges did me in. Broke my knee.”), and her dream Christmas gift (“Maybe I'll send you to the massage store, Sandy!”). Listeners are treated to “the good stuff”—uplifting stories like a Utah man's Christmas-lit truck raising awareness for men's mental health, a Georgia lottery winner's lucky day, and a Chicago cancer survivor's journey to every major sports stadium in North America. Notable quotes and memorable moments:“The writing is unbelievable…right up there with West Wing style writing.”“I don't want to end. Imagine how traumatized Landry and I were when we thought we had two more to go and then it was over.”“God doesn't want me to have that much money. He wants me to have it though.”“I'll never do a side lunge again. So I guess I'm never going to achieve my Carrie Underwood legs.”This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, laughter, and real-life wisdom—perfect for anyone who loves great storytelling, relatable family moments, and a dose of positivity.

Once again I found someone speaking to something from the world of sports that has a much bigger impact on what real life is all about.  I found this from Coach AJ - Mental Fitness (@coachajkings)  where he shared a video clip (find it HERE) of football coach Pete Carroll who said, "The thing about grit is real." "It's about competing, pushing yourself, striving to be your best, and what's really exciting is nobody controls this, but you." This is a very powerful reminder that grit isn't about talent or being lucky. It's about choosing to endure. To not quit. It's taking ownership. Nobody can keep score on this for you along with nobody can judge you either. It's up to ourselves to focus on  these things that we have control over to be our best!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Send us a textIn this heartfelt episode of The Daily Energize, host Spencer Jones opens with deep gratitude and love for his listeners. He invites you into an important conversation about a habit many of us struggle with saying yes too quickly.Spencer revisits the topic of saying “yes,” reminding us how easily we fall into old patterns and autopilot decisions. While saying yes can be empowering and help us share our light with the world, it can also drain us when the yes is not aligned with our true purpose, values, or vision.

Awesome post from Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) and on his #morningwalktalk that he shared HERE on Twitter / X.  He reminds us that we will find what we are looking for. If we are looking for connections, opportunities, learning items, growth, positive news, inspirational things, etc., vs. negative news, anger, hatred, blaming others, etc.; we will find whatever we set out to connect with. Keep an eye on how we spend our time, what choices we make, who we hang out with, what our thoughts are, etc. Powerful stuff!  Amazing stuff! Truthful stuff!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

I found an awesome post from Aaron Babicz '93 (@DETROITCCAD) who is the Athletic Director at my high school Novi Detroit Catholic Central. He shared this post after our football team won the State Championship here in Michigan.  He titled this  “ALWAYS CLIMBING”, and it describes this quote - “How Lucky We Are To Wake Up And Try Again.” First of all there are plenty of people that didn't get to wake up today. The same will happen tomorrow and every day.  What are you always climbing towards? This is way more than athletics (as much of sports is = Life Lessons). What do we get to try again with today? I know there are plenty for me to choose from, with gratitude that I get to look to work on today. Love this reminder! Take it to heart and see where you can connect with what @inkyjohnson reminds us too. “What fulfills me?” Powerful question to tie into what we get to do (choose to do) each and every day!!  Stay fired up my friends!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

We try and fail at many things in life and that isn't always bad. But perhaps my old history professor was right in his thoughts concerning why we study history. Best to learn from other people's mistakes or failures.

Les Chapman, Senior Minister

In this episode, I open up about the biggest lessons I've learned over 35 years of wins, failures, pivots, and personal growth.

I found another connection to the importance of us having more “light” in our lives and it comes from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shares these thoughts about the importance of rekindling the light for others. “Such a message reminds me of Goodier's work entitled “Who Rekindles Your Light?”  It calls to mind how we are blessed by the light of others though their love, care & concern.  We too must reciprocate or pay it forward by serving to be the light for others!” We all need to remember this thought: “The greatest weapon against darkness is, and always has been light. Even one small light is stronger than the darkness.”  Don't lose your connections to those people who help rekindle your light, your spark, all throughout life. Then also remember - rekindle other people's lights too! The world needs this now for sure. Plenty of dark times out there for us to help each other out with.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Simple and powerful post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) where he shared this: “The light you hold is brighter than any darkness. When in darkness be the light.” There are many times that there seems to be more darkness than ever and not just because we are heading into winter. There are issues and events going on around us and around the world where we need more light to shine brightly. There are many ways to do it and they do not have to be huge events. They can be small events that maybe only we see ourselves. The key is we all can add to turning on these lights in order to make things better. There seems to be events every single day that remind us of how important this is. Be the light!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

What can the people we've lost teach us about who we become? And how do their everyday choices—often unnoticed in the moment—shape our leadership, our values, and the way we show up in the world?In this heartfelt conversation, Ian Ziskin returns to The Inner Edge to share the deeply personal journey that inspired his new collaborative book, Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies. After losing both his brother and his mother only months apart, Ian began reflecting on the lessons they left behind.As we talk, you'll likely find your own “special somebodies” coming to mind—the people who shaped you, guided you, or quietly modeled who you wanted to become. Some may be gone. Some may still be here. And all of them leave imprints that matter.This episode is a warm, reflective invitation to pause, honor, and acknowledge the leadership lessons that come from everyday human beings—not just from CEOs or experts, but from the people who taught us through the way they lived.In this episode:✅ How the loss of loved ones sparked Ian's collaborative book project✅ Why facing reality is essential for personal and organizational growth✅ How advocacy, values, and “showing you care” become quiet but powerful forms of leadership✅ Why the people who shaped us often never knew the impact they had✅ The cathartic process of writing about a special somebody✅ How to reflect on your own life lessons and why you should share them with the people who matter nowResources:Lives Lost and Leadership Found: Lessons from Special Somebodies by Ian Ziskin Connect with Ian:https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-ziskin-bb1504/ About Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Whispers of Love Amid Debrecen's Autumn Winds Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-11-27-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Debrecen környéki mezőn felállított kórházban a fűszálak meggörnyedtek az őszi szél előtt, mintha megpróbálnának hajolni a szomorú emberek felé.En: In the hospital set up on the fields around Debrecen, the blades of grass drooped before the autumn wind, as if attempting to bow towards the sorrowful people.Hu: A sátor alatt tompa fény villódzott, és gyenge hideg szél suttogott az anyagdarabok között, mintegy sorsot jósolva.En: Under the tent, a dim light flickered, and a weak, cold breeze whispered between the pieces of fabric, as if predicting destiny.Hu: Zsófia és Ákos összefogva haladtak, küszködve azonos súlyú terheikkel, a beteg nagymama meglátogatására jöttek.En: Zsófia and Ákos walked together, struggling with burdens of equal weight, having come to visit their sick grandmother.Hu: Zsófia kemény arccal igyekezett, de belül remegett.En: Zsófia pressed on with a determined face, but inside, she trembled.Hu: Tudta, testvérének, Ákosnak szüksége van rá.En: She knew her brother, Ákos, needed her.Hu: Az éjszaka során már számtalanszor álmatlanul forgolódott, nagymama szavain és jövőjüket fogó rettenetes kérdéseken tépelődve.En: Throughout the night, she had tossed and turned countless times, dwelling on their grandmother's words and the dreadful questions looming over their future.Hu: Sokszor próbálta magával elhitetni, hogy az élet csak megy tovább, ugyanakkor tudta, nem tudják, meddig tartatják vissza a haláltól kimerült nagymamát.En: She often tried to convince herself that life just goes on, yet she knew they had no idea how long their grandmother could be kept back from exhaustion by death.Hu: A sátorban nagymama csendben feküdt, törékeny alakja szinte alig látszott a falakon átszűrődő halvány fényben.En: Inside the tent, their grandmother lay quietly, her fragile figure almost invisible in the faint light filtering through the walls.Hu: Ákos mereven állt mellette, szavai megrekedtek a torokban, mint a fáradt esőcseppek az őszi ablaktáblán.En: Ákos stood stiffly beside her, his words stuck in his throat like weary raindrops on an autumn windowpane.Hu: Zsófia érezte, hogy most kell cselekednie.En: Zsófia sensed that she had to act.Hu: „Ákos, tudom, hogy nehéz” – mondta Zsófia lágyan a testvéréhez fordulva.En: "Ákos, I know it's hard," Zsófia said softly, turning to her brother.Hu: „De nagymama velünk van most.En: "But Grandma is with us now.Hu: Kérlek, mondj neki mindent, amit érzel!En: Please, tell her everything you feel!"Hu: ”Ákos szemeiből könnyek kezdtek hullani.En: Tears began to fall from Ákos' eyes.Hu: Testvére hangja áttörhetetlen falakat tört át, és szeretete meglágyította az ő szívét is.En: His sister's voice broke through impenetrable barriers, and her love softened his heart as well.Hu: Lassanként beszélni kezdett, emlékeket idézett fel – a vasárnapi ebédek illata, a reggeli kakaó, amit nagymama készített.En: Gradually, he began to speak, recalling memories—the scent of Sunday lunches, the morning cocoa that Grandma prepared.Hu: Könnyek közt mosolygott, ahogy felidézte a régi nyarakat, amikor a nagymamájuk mesélt a hársfák árnyékában.En: He smiled through his tears as he remembered the old summers when their grandmother told stories under the shade of the linden trees.Hu: A nagymama gyenge keze lassan megemelkedett, hogy megszorítsa Ákos ujjait.En: His grandmother's frail hand slowly rose to squeeze Ákos' fingers.Hu: Szemei halvány mosollyal teltek meg, s halk hangja válaszolt.En: Her eyes filled with a faint smile, and her gentle voice responded.Hu: „Nem félek, én is őrzöm majd az emlékeket.En: "I'm not afraid, I too will keep the memories.Hu: Szeressétek egymást, ez a legfontosabb.En: Love each other, that is the most important thing."Hu: ”Zsófia álla megfeszült, de párás tekintettel nézett Ákosra.En: Zsófia's jaw tensed, but she looked at Ákos with misty eyes.Hu: Átléptek valami mélyen személyes határon, és mindketten megérezték: ez a búcsú egyszerre fájó és fölemelő.En: They had crossed a deeply personal boundary, and both felt: this farewell was both painful and uplifting.Hu: A nagymama halk lélegzete elcsitulni látszott, de a szívek összefonódtak, újra és újra.En: Their grandmother's gentle breath seemed to quiet, but the hearts intertwined, over and over again.Hu: Amikor végül kiléptek a sátorból, a szél halk szerenádot zongorázott körülöttük.En: When they finally stepped out of the tent, the wind played a soft serenade around them.Hu: A késő őszi fák kopár ágain még itt-ott akadt pár zöldellő levél, emlékeztetve őket arra, hogy az élet kering, mint örök forgás.En: On the bare branches of the late autumn trees, a few green leaves still clung here and there, reminding them that life circulates, like eternal rotation.Hu: Zsófia magához húzta Ákost, és csendesen továbbmentek, tudva, hogy kapcsolatuk új mélységeket talált.En: Zsófia pulled Ákos close, and they moved on silently, knowing that their bond had found new depths.Hu: A végtelen mezők mellett sétálva Zsófia végre megértette: a sebezhetőség az igazi erő rejtekhelye, és ebben a felismerésben igazi békére lelhetett.En: Walking beside the endless fields, Zsófia finally understood: vulnerability is the true hiding place of strength, and in this realization, she found true peace.Hu: Mert a szeretet az, ami összetartja az álmokat és a valóságot.En: Because it is love that holds dreams and reality together.Hu: Pláne, ha így, kéz a kézben folytatták útjukat az ismeretlen felé.En: Especially when they continued their journey, hand in hand, towards the unknown.

What if the key to better work isn't another policy—but more play, curiosity, and humanity? In this episode, Rob visits with one of Los Angeles' up and coming young entrepreneurs, Stephen Hargett, Founder at Wrkspace, to explore how our relationship with work is rapidly evolving. They discuss how the pandemic reshaped workplace expectations, why rigid mandates fall short, and how intentional, human-centered environments can unlock creativity and productivity. Stephen shares his vision for an intelligent workplace operating system—one that blends technology with emotional intelligence to elevate the human experience and help companies deliver better work experiences for their employees.

In this powerful episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with entrepreneur, coach, and aviation innovator Eric Farewell for a deeply honest conversation about identity, business, loss, self-worth, leadership, and the profound transformation that happens when you learn to be fully present.

Looking for more DTP Content? Check us our here: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-linksFor the 250th episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena turns the mic on himself to share three core lessons that have shaped the show, his career, and how he shows up in the emergency services space: gratitude as a persona, how to influence, and “come what may and love it.” John starts with gratitude—not as a cliché, but as an intentional persona. With every guest and every episode, his rule has been: treat people with respect, even when you disagree, and appreciate the experience they bring to the table. That mindset has opened doors, deepened conversations, and kept the online persona aligned with the person he is in real life. He then breaks down how influence actually works. Influence isn't just about title or rank; it's the compound effect of doing your homework, producing professional-grade work, building credibility over time, and treating people—at every level—as equals. He talks about moving from recording in a car under a blanket to hosting generals, chiefs, CEOs, and operators because the work quietly built trust before the big asks ever happened. Finally, John shares the philosophy of “come what may and love it”, quote by Joseph B. Worthlin —taking the long view through wildfires, family life, deployments, changing FEMA and grant environments, and the roller coaster of running a podcast and business. The message: accept the hard, adapt, keep your sense of humor, stay mission-focused, and don't run faster than you have strength.Major EndorsementsImpulseBleeding Control Kits by Professionals for Professionalshttps://www.impulsekits.comDoberman Emergency ManagementSubject matter experts in assessments, planning, and traininghttps://www.dobermanemg.comThe Readiness LabTrailblazing disaster readiness through podcasts, outreach, marketing, and interactive eventshttps://www.thereadinesslab.comFor Sponsorship Requestscontact@thereadinesslab.com314-400-8848 Ext 2#Leadership #Motivation #Mindset #Resilience #Inspiration #Success #Growth #Innovation #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerDevelopment #SelfImprovement #PersonalGrowth #BusinessLeadership #LifeLessons #WorkCulture #PositiveLeadership #Goals #HumanPerformance #DecisionMaking #PublicSafety #EmergencyManagement #CrisisManagement #HomelandSecurity #MilitaryLeadership #FireService #LawEnforcement #FirstResponders #Veterans #DisasterResponse #Gratitude #Influence #MentalStrength #LongView #KeepGoing #NeverQuit #StayReady #LearningEveryDay

Found a super short post from Words of Wise | Mindset Coach (@Wordofwise_) for the second day in a row and this one is just as powerful as the other one. Great reminder for all of us: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” When we take a look at the simplicity of this thought, we can usually see that whatever is going on in our lives - we are where we are. That is a good place to start as it's really the only place to start. We can keep learning and picking up new skills. We can improve by asking for help, seeking new information and putting action behind moving towards something we want to do. I love the simplicity of connecting to this thought. Hope you do too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Edward English grew up between Houston and Ohio in a turbulent home marked by an absent father and an abusive stepfather. Put on Ritalin from ages 7 to 17, he struggled with confidence and identity — eventually turning to drugs as a way to escape. What started as experimentation spiraled into an eight-year heroin addiction that led to his arrest in 2011 for possession, distribution, and trafficking. Sentenced to nearly eight years in prison, Edward served 4.5 before being released in 2016. Behind bars, everything changed. Through faith, mentorship, and personal growth programs, he transformed his mindset and rebuilt his life from the inside out — a journey he documents in his memoir Emersion. Today, Edward is 14 years clean, a husband, father, and commercial plumber in Columbus, Ohio, dedicated to helping others overcome addiction and find purpose after prison. His story is one of pain, perseverance, and the power of true transformation. #LockedInWithIanBick #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #AddictionRecovery #HeroinAddiction #OhioPrison #RedemptionStory #realstories Thank you to DAWS for sponsoring this episode: Go to http://www.daws.org/ to donate, adopt or send items from their wishlist.

He thought he'd miss the war, but fate had other plans. Marine aviator Don Eggspuehler's story begins with a stack of letters written from the jungles of Thailand during the last year of Vietnam. Those letters, saved by his mother and rediscovered decades later, became the foundation for something bigger. A way to connect generations through humor, heartbreak, and hard-won wisdom. In this conversation, Don opens up about the fear of flying through tracer fire at night, the loss of fellow Marines, and the long road toward peace that followed. He draws parallels between Vietnam and Afghanistan, the shared feeling of coming home to a country that doesn't quite understand, and the importance of preserving your story before it disappears. Don also shares how writing helped him heal not just from combat, but from losing his wife, facing grief, and finding purpose again through storytelling. His message is clear: your memories, your lessons, and your story matter. Whether it's for your kids, your grandkids, or someone you'll never meet, those stories have power.

SummaryIn this KTB Podcast/Testimony Tuesday simulcast, Pastor Adam Dragoon discusses his pastoral journey, including 15 years in Virginia Beach, navigating ministry transitions, and seeking God's will.

Pastor Adam emphasizes family support's role and offers guidance to young pastors on maintaining faithfulness and a right relationship with God, while acknowledging ministry's financial realities and the legacy pastors create.

Found a very fired up post from Words of Wise | Mindset Coach (@Wordofwise_) that reminds all of us that we can do great things that others can't take away from us.  “You become unstoppable when you work on things people can't take away from you. Things like your character, habits, mindset, and attitude.” These are some of the things that we have total control over along with that we have a choice if we want to give up control of these things. Life and others will do a heck of a job trying to get us to change. We don't need to help them to cause us troubles. We can help ourselves out by having some intentional focus into these areas and for me, I know that I need to do this. When you sit back and digest this thought, it becomes a very powerful & inspiring mindset to have. Just a little bit more every day can make a difference.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Ep 136 is personal.I'm back behind the mic after six life-changing months. I became a girl dad. I traveled to Africa for the first time and delivered my first TEDx talk in Uganda. That trip, that stage, and this new chapter forced me to slow down, rethink my identity, and step into a new season of life with more clarity about success, purpose, and what really matters.In this episode, I share the truth about stepping away, stepping into fatherhood, and stepping onto a TEDx stage 7,800 miles from home. I talk about killing hustle culture, choosing intention over pressure, and building a life that feels aligned, not forced. I also break down the Shadow Line Principle and how one tiny shift can unlock real growth in your life and your business.If you are rebuilding, recalibrating, or trying to grow with more intention and less noise, this one is for you.Let's talk life.Let's talk growth.Let's talk about the tiny shift that changes everything.And let's celebrate your friendly neighborhood Strategy Hacker® giving you perspective once again.Tune in.
