This week on Persistence U, Lizbeth welcomes back friend and former guest Richard Wilmore to talk about the power of returning to an old dream, choosing joy, and building a creative life that feels good from the inside out.Richard first appeared on Persistence U years ago when he was helping bring the arts into hospitals through a nonprofit that changed his own life as much as it changed the lives of the patients he served. But as nonprofit work often goes, roles shifted, pressures grew, and the very job that once gave him energy began taking a toll on his health. Leaving felt sudden, but Richard shares that the decision was the result of a long internal push to return to what he always knew he wanted to do.His childhood dream had been clear. A daytime talk show. A space filled with color, community, laughter, and meaningful conversations. After leaving the nonprofit world, he planned to support other podcasters behind the scenes. But while helping others build their shows, he realized it was time to give himself permission to create his own. Make Your Day Richer was born.In this conversation, Richard speaks honestly about the realities of launching a show from scratch, including the pressures of being live five days a week, the overbooking that nearly burned him out, the technology that drives him crazy, and the surprising lessons that surfaced only after 200 plus episodes.He also talks about the essential mindset shift that has shaped his creative process. Instead of going from zero to a hundred, he encourages listeners to stop at twenty if that is enough. Take one small step toward the thing that brings happiness rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Build slowly. Build honestly. Protect the joy of creating.Richard also shares how play, color, and art influence his energy and his set design, why he loves hosting guests from all backgrounds, and how he plans to bring more local artists from South Carolina into his studio next.Listeners will appreciate his practical wisdom about handling no-shows with grace, refusing to weaponize passion projects against yourself, and remembering to celebrate small wins. Richard reminds us that the fastest route to burnout is failing to acknowledge what is going right.If you are someone who has always dreamed of doing something different, something creative, or something that lights you up, this episode is a reminder that tiLizbeth's links Want to comment on the show?

Most people think hiring a coach means getting your macros, a meal plan, and a workout program but if that worked long-term, you'd already have the results you want. For so many women, the real struggle isn't knowing what to do… it's knowing how to actually implement it in real life without burning out or starting over every two weeks.In this episode, I break down what effective coaching really looks like — not the checklists or deliverables, but the process that helps you build habits, understand your body, and create results you can sustain.I share Lynelle's story (yes, again, she's the perfect example) and walk through the phases every client goes through, from deep clarity work to building autonomy and ownership.In this episode, we cover:Why programs and diets fail — and what real coaching addresses insteadHow deep assessments uncover the root causes behind plateaus, cravings, low energy, and stalled progressWhat it looks like to build a plan collaboratively so it fits your life (not the other way around)How weekly feedback loops create clarity, confidence, and consistent momentumThe inner transformations my clients experience: from restriction → nourishment, perfection → consistency, pressure → self-trustListen to learn:Why sustainable results don't come from more rules; they come from understanding your body, building skills, and creating habits you can actually maintain for life.Learn More and Apply For 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.coachdianaleigh.com/1-1-coachinghttps://www.bit.ly/applycoachd

EP: 60 Topic: Lifelong Bigfoot Journey - From Biological to Ethereal About The Guest: Ron Morehead has been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. He is an author, researcher, lecturer, experiencer, and producer of the Sierra Sounds. To date, he comes closer than any other researcher to having a complete body of evidence. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time-tested, and accredited as genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with these giant beings and produced his story on a CD and also in a book, “Voices in the Wilderness.” In order to try and understand the enigmas associated with these giants, he began to delve into Quantum Physics for the scientific answers that he and his hunting friends experienced, and as a result he wrote another thought-provoking book,” TheQuantum Bigfoot.” Ron now resides with his partner, Keri, in North Carolina, but has traveled from Alaska to Patagonia and from North America to Siberia in search of the truth to how these beings are able to stay so hidden from Classical science. Besides being the keynote Speaker at many conventions, he has been featured on countless radio programs and TV documentaries such as the Learning Channel and Travel Channel.

Summary In this episode, Dr. Easley reconnects with longtime friend and fellow Dallas Theological Seminary alumnus Greg Hatteberg to reflect on a lifetime of faithfulness—through ministry, marriage, and the mentorship of godly leaders. Hattenberg shares how his grandfather's quiet devotion to Scripture laid the foundation for his own walk with Christ, eventually leading him to Moody and then to Dallas Seminary. There, he and Michael sat under professors like Howard Hendricks and J. Dwight Pentecost, whose lives modeled the truth they taught.  Their conversation weaves together memories of those formative years with reflections on enduring faith amid hardship—especially Greg's story of loving and caring for his late wife Lisa through her decades-long battle with multiple sclerosis. Her faith and joy in suffering continue to shape his ministry and outlook today. Together, they explore how theological education has expanded from classroom walls to a global platform, yet the heartbeat remains unchanged: to know Christ and serve Him faithfully. Hatteberg's message to leaders and believers alike is simple: don't quit; stay the course; finish well. Takeaways Faith's roots often begin in quiet family devotion and Scripture study. Lifelong ministry is sustained by endurance and faithfulness, not ease. True theological education shapes both heart and mind for a lifetime. Greg's marriage to Lisa reflected Christlike perseverance through suffering. The methods of teaching evolve, but God's Word remains unchanged. Every believer is called to finish their ministry with endurance and hope. This episode is for anyone who longs for a faith that lasts. Whether you're a pastor, seminary student, or believer walking through hardship, endurance, integrity, and love for God's Word are what sustain a lifetime of ministry.

Pakistan grants lifelong immunity and sweeping powers to army chief. Is it funeral of democracy?   

Friday, November 14, 2025

Today, Dominic Bowen hosts Dr. Amgad Fareid Eltayeb on The International Risk Podcast to examine Sudan's engineered famine, the influence of foreign backers, and the struggle of civilians caught between paramilitary violence and geopolitical ambition. They discuss how starvation, siege tactics, and external intervention have become central features of the war, driving one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises. Together they explore how regional power competition, gold extraction networks, and control of strategic corridors have shaped Sudan's collapse and undermined efforts to restore democratic governance.Dr. Eltayeb explains why the crisis in Sudan cannot be understood without acknowledging the role of external sponsors, how disinformation has distorted the narrative surrounding the war, and why famine is being used deliberately as a weapon against besieged populations. The conversation highlights the erosion of state institutions, the fragmentation of sovereignty, and the urgent need to centre civilian agency in any future political settlement.Dr. Eltayeb is a Sudanese politician, researcher, writer, and activist. He combines academic rigour with moral urgency. Lifelong commitment to truth-telling in the face of authoritarian violence, belief in citizen agency, and refusal to separate humanitarian imperatives from politics and power have defined his career. His training as a medical doctor was supplemented by postgraduate training in public health and research methods. He was one of the leading Sudanese revolutionaries that brought the December 2018 revolution to a triumph in toppling the Islamist regime of Omer Elbashir (1989 - 2019). After that, he worked as Assistant Chief of Staff to the Sudanese Prime Minister (2019–2021), where he helped the fragile democratic transition after decades of authoritarianism. Later, he worked as a political advisor to the UN political mission to Sudan (UNITAMS) following the October 2021 military takeover. Currently he is the executive director of Fikra for Studies and Development, a non-partisan Sudanese think tank.Since the recording of this episode, El Fasher has been seized, marking a grave and deeply consequential shift in the conflict, with far reaching humanitarian and political repercussions that sharpen the gravity of what Dr. Eltayeb describes.The International Risk Podcast brings you conversations with global experts, frontline practitioners, and senior decision-makers who are shaping how we understand and respond to international risk. From geopolitical volatility and organised crime, to cybersecurity threats and hybrid warfare, each episode explores the forces transforming our world and what smart leaders must do to navigate them.

We meet Dr Ibrahim  an NHS doctor who has been open about his lifelong struggle with weight and his decision to start the Mounjaro (GLP-1) jab. In this episode, he shares what it's really like to be both a doctor and a patient using the medication — the stigma, the questions he's asked most often, and how he approaches safety and long-term use with honesty and care. We talk about the realities behind the “golden dose,” the risks of unverified syringes sold online, and what patients should understand about side effects like pancreatitis and gallstones. Dr Ibrahim also explains why every weight-loss journey needs a plan for maintenance, how microdosing works in theory versus practice, and how he's rebuilt a healthier mindset through running, patience, and consistency. It's a clear-headed, compassionate look at the medical and emotional sides of GLP-1 treatment — perfect for anyone considering Mounjaro or wanting to hear from a doctor who truly understands it from experience.

Do people praise your discipline while ignoring your struggle with a long-term eating disorder? In this solo episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller, LMFT, unpacks the cultural myth of the “high-functioning” eating disorder and explores why so many lifelong eating disorders go unnoticed, untreated, or mislabeled as willpower or success. Episode Overview So many people live for decades with an eating disorder that never fully goes away—because the world keeps rewarding them for being productive, disciplined, or “healthy.” Dr. Marianne explains how functioning can become a form of masking, how trauma and safety patterns reinforce chronic disordered eating, and why recovery often requires dismantling the very systems that taught us to perform instead of rest. This episode brings honesty and compassion to those who have felt unseen by treatment models that only recognize crisis, and validation to those who have carried invisible pain behind competence and control. Key Topics Covered What “high-functioning” really means and why it's a harmful label How lifelong eating disorders become normalized and overlooked The hidden costs of functioning and perfectionism Trauma, safety, and why control feels protective How privilege shapes who gets labeled “high-functioning” Recovery pathways for long-term and late-stage eating disorders The difference between surviving and actually living Who This Episode Is For This episode is for anyone who has lived with chronic disordered eating, for those who have been told they “don't look sick,” and for clinicians seeking to better understand the quiet suffering that hides behind high performance. It's also for neurodivergent listeners and those in larger bodies who have felt unseen in traditional eating disorder spaces.

The toughest battles don't always happen overseas. Sometimes they hit when you're back home, trying to figure out how to live with injuries, stress, or changes you never saw coming. Karen Hetherington knows this firsthand. She's part of the team at Semper Fi & America's Fund, and she has spent years walking alongside service members and their families during some of their most challenging moments. In this conversation, Karen shares how The Fund got its start and how it's grown into a lifeline for thousands of veterans. We talk about the little things that make a big difference, like covering bills while a family sits through long hospital stays, and the big things, like connecting someone with life-changing medical treatment or helping them find a new purpose after leaving the military. You'll hear about fast action that saved a Marine in crisis, the cutting-edge care that helped an amputee get back on his feet, and why listening closely matters more than any program on paper. The Fund restores independence, eases the weight on families, and proves that no veteran has to figure it out alone.

In this episode of the NCS Podcast Perspectives series, Nicholas Morris, MD, speaks with Andrew Kofke, MD, emeritus professor of anesthesiology and critical care at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Kofke reflects on his remarkable path from a teenage ambulance volunteer to a pioneering leader in neuroanesthesia and neurocritical care. He discusses the origins of Penn's neuro ICU program, his collaborations with influential figures like Peter Safar and Alan Ropper and his research on cerebral blood flow and opioid neurotoxicity. Dr. Kofke also shares insights on the evolution of multimodal neuroprotection, the future of noninvasive cerebral monitoring and how curiosity and physiology have guided his decades-long career.

Habits don't fail you because you're weak.  They fail because they're stuck in the wrong place.  Let me explain...  Today we unpack a simple, powerful rule for consistency: put each habit where it naturally fits your life so it stops feeling like work.  Think of your day like a kitchen - your daily coffee maker sits by the water and the mugs, not in the back of a cabinet. Your routines deserve the same thoughtful placement.  Years of weekly training, hundreds of days of writing and language practice, and long-running reading and meditation - I break down exactly how the placement principle keeps these habits alive.  We explore how friction hides in tiny details: a gym that requires a drive, a planner out of reach, a walk in an unsafe or unpleasant area, or a “react first” habit embedded in chaotic meetings. When the tools, timing, and context don't match the behavior, every repetition feels like a negotiation. When they do, starting will NEVER become automatic, habits will not survive.  You'll learn how to find the perfect slot for each habit by mapping your energy peaks and valleys, pairing high-focus tasks with your sharpest hours and low-effort rituals with natural rhythms.  If your goal is lifelong change, design beats discipline: reduce friction, keep cues consistent, and let ease and automaticity grow from repetition.  Ready to make your routines feel seamless instead of heavy?  Press play, pick one habit, and move it to a better place in your day.  If this resonated, share it with a friend, start a mini listening club, and leave a quick review so more people can build habits that last.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

In today's episode, I sit down with Gary Surdam, CEO of Bright Start Ed-Tech, whose new mobile app “Illuminate” uses AI to personalize learning for students while empowering parents to become active educators at home.
