Have you ever looked at someone who's done something so extraordinary that you thought, “I could never do that”? What if you could, and it simply meant changing the way you think?In this episode of the Visibly Fit Podcast, I sit down with Joe Gagnon, a man who has proven that what seems impossible is often just the beginning. At age 39, Joe was not an athlete. But he decided to make a change. That choice led him to run six marathons in six days on six continents, complete multiple Ironman races, and even finish the grueling Badwater 135 ultra-marathon across Death Valley.Joe shares how he reframed challenges, leaned into discomfort, and discovered the power of living with intention. His story is proof that it's never too late to start fresh, to rewrite your narrative, and to push past self-imposed limits.If you've ever felt stuck, too old to start, or overwhelmed by the thought of change, Joe's wisdom will encourage you to take one intentional step at a time toward the extraordinary life God designed for you.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[01:15] Topic and Guest Introduction[03:32] Introduction to Joe Gagnon and His Journey[06:36] The Breakout: From Average to Athlete[08:18] The Marathon Challenge: Six Marathons in Six Days[11:30] Why Self-Care Must Come First[14:24] The Power of Mindset in Pushing Limits[18:22] Finding Your Why: The Importance of Purpose[23:32] The Five Pillars of a High-Performance Life[27:58] Embracing Discomfort and Reframing Life's Challenges[28:40] The Journey to Plant-Based Living[31:47] Understanding Personal Choices and Their Impact[36:00] Taking the First Step Towards Change[38:03] Building a Success Plan and Celebrating Progress[41:17] Curiosity and Lifelong Learning[43:41] Where to Find Joe's Book Living Intentionally[45:17] Fun Family Traditions & Giving Back[47:08] Final Thoughts and ResourcesResources mentioned:Book: Living Intentionally by Joe GagnonEmail: jgagnon232@gmail.comDaily Blog: joecurious.substack.comWebsite: thehighperformancelife.netInstagram: @thehighperformancelifeLinkedIn: Joe Gagnon on LinkedInVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Joe Gagnon is a CEO, high-performance coach, endurance athlete, and author of Living Intentionally.

Lecture nineteen, the final lecture, of a series on the 'Doctrine of Atonement', delivered by Dr. Mildred Bangs Wynkoop during the fall of 1979 at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Dr. Wynkoop was a remarkable voice in the Church of the Nazarene—a writer, pastor, missionary, and theologian whose influence still resonates today. Her most celebrated works are Foundations of Wesleyan-Arminian Theology and A Theology of Love: The Dynamic of Wesleyanism, both of which continue to shape contemporary Wesleyan thought. Her ministry journey spanned the globe and the academy. She pastored churches in California and Oregon, taught at George Fox Evangelical Seminary, and served as the founding president of Japan Nazarene Theological Seminary. She also taught in Taiwan before returning to the United States to serve as Professor of Theology at Trevecca Nazarene College (1966–1976) and later at Nazarene Theological Seminary (1976–1979). Throughout her century-long life and ministry, Dr. Wynkoop met Phineas Bresee, studied under H. Orton Wiley and Olive Winchester left a profound impact on generations of students and colleagues across four Nazarene institutions—having studied at Point Loma Nazarene University and Northwest Nazarene University, and having taught at Trevecca Nazarene University and Nazarene Theological Seminary. *These recordings, captured initially in 1979, have been substantially restored. While Dr. Wynkoop's voice has been clarified, student questions during Q&A segments may be difficult to discern. Her responses, however, remain clear and impactful.* Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning

In this episode, I begin a six-part series on Ralph Waldo Emerson's journaling habits. Emerson didn't see his journals as a place to record daily events—he saw them as a savings bank for ideas. I'll explain what that means and why changing how you view your journal is the first step toward making it a tool for thinking. I'll also share a book recommendation that can help you choose the right kind of notebook for this practice.

The goal of Christianity is Christlikeness. Spiritual growth is the fruit of our faith; evidence that we are connected to the vine. In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany unpack what spiritual growth really is, why it matters, and how believers partner with the Holy Spirit to become more like Christ.They explain the nature of growth, the role of discipline and refinement, and the daily practices that help Christians mature in their faith.What We Discussed01:17 – Growth and Maturity in ScripturePractical Theology connects doctrine to daily life. Examples from Corinth and Hebrews show how believers can remain spiritually immature. The Christian life involves either progressing or regressing—there is no standing still.03:42 – Defining Spiritual GrowthSpiritual growth is a progressive development in key areas of life: spiritual character, knowledge of God, faith, and an appreciation of Christ's work.05:00 – The Nature of Spiritual GrowthGrowth is a partnership between the Holy Spirit and believers. The Spirit empowers us to live out God's truth, producing behavioral growth expressed in love, patience, and obedience.07:05 – Lifelong Learning and RefinementSpiritual growth is not linear. God refines believers through discipline and correction. 09:40 – The Goal of GrowthThe ultimate outcome is to become more like Christ. The fruits of the Spirit shape believers into His likeness.12:00 – Practicing Spiritual Growth DailySpiritual disciplines mirror physical habits. Believers need daily nourishment from God's Word, obedience to His commands, and rest in His promises. 14:33 – A Call to Ongoing GrowthSpiritual growth has infinite capacity. Christians should never be satisfied with their current condition but continually press forward in maturity.Key Quote“Although we'll never attain absolute spiritual maturity in this world, we can be relatively mature for our spiritual age as we give ourselves daily to the means God uses to grow us.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback!

Discover how to prepare for the biggest career changes in your 50s with tips on lifelong learning, curiosity, and adapting to the future of work. Start investing in your personal growth and professional excellence now!Essential listening for anyone wondering how to navigate the reality that 50 is just the beginning of your second professional act.Why 50 is the Half-Time of Your Professional CareerIn this thought-provoking conversation, Neeraj Sagar, founder of Wisdom Circle and Stanford Centre for Longevity Global Ambassador, challenges everything we think we know about career planning and retirement in the age of longevity.Key Insights:1. With lifespans extending and retirement ages shifting, your 50s mark the midpoint, not the wind-down, of your professional journey. 2. India has one of the world's youngest median ages yet 150 million people over 60 (that'll be 300 million by 2050). We're unprepared for what people will actually do with extended lifespans.3. Experienced professionals offer what AI cannot - institutional memory, judgment about what NOT to do, and hard-earned shortcuts that only come from decades of practice.4. Successful post-50 professionals must structure their weeks around multiple pillars: 2 days monetizing expertise, 1 day teaching, 1 day social impact, and 3 days for learning, family, and personal growth.5. While everyone chases general management roles, the real value lies in deep specialization. Companies desperately seek true experts.6. Adaptability requires dual curiosity - understanding yourself and staying current with the changing world. The ability to continuously learn, unlearn, and relearn becomes your career insurance policy.7. Early savings, compound interest, and proper health insurance become critical foundations for later-career flexibility.Timestamps00:05:18 “we're all living longer, but doing what?”00:12:14 “big companies will struggle, new ones will define the future of work”00:17:48 “white hair made people treat me as wiser — whether I was ready or not”00:25:10 “the per-unit cost of wisdom gets cheaper with age”00:31:00 “curiosity is the fuel — without it, your runway is short”00:35:58 “this is what a happy 65-year old's life should look like”00:44:07 “ai tells you what to do, good experts tell you what NOT to do”00:47:51 “today, success is not titles — it's the joy of impact”00:50:22 “do more with your hands — mow lawns, print books, flip burgers”00:52:12 “the real dream is learning how to keep going, no matter what”00:54:00 “you are who you are when no one is looking”00:55:11 “don't worry about what others think—just own your beliefs”This episode was made possible by the great folks at https://goaffortless.ai.Effortless has been designed to be user-friendly, aiding you in your journey to streamline financial tasks.

It's back-to-school time, and that includes older adults! An increasing number of people 50 and older are actively learning new things (55% of Americans age 45 and older, according to AARP surveys).These lifelong learners want to stay mentally sharp, intellectually stimulated or even start another career. Some take a class or two based on their interests; some develop (or refine) a talent or skill; and some pursue a high school or college degree. Many institutions and organizations are scrambling to meet this demand among older adults for learning opportunities that are accessible, affordable and – most of all – age-friendly. In this episode of our monthly series NEXT AGE, we'll hear from some lifelong learners and why they strove to continue pursuing knowledge as they age. We'll also learn what's being offered by local universities, non-profits and community groups and some of the efforts to remove barriers that deter some older adults who want to continue learning.This episode was produced by LaTonya Turner and Josh Deepan.

RT Williams (1883-1946) was a minister and general superintendent in the Church of the Nazarene. Born in Texas, he became a minister in 1908 and later served as president of Texas Holiness University. He was the youngest person to be elected general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene at age 33 and served in that role from 1916 until his death in 1946. "An appreication by BF Haynes Dr. Williams has done the disciples of our Lord a distinct service in giving in printed form this dissertation on "Temptation." He enters the arena of the daily struggles of the believer and helps him along the most practical and needy lines of his life. Strange indeed that Temptation should ever have become a neglected theme, but it is true, as the author suggests. We admire the clear and logical and discriminating way in which the subject is treated in these pages." This article was accessed on The Wesley Center Online, which is a collection of historical and scholarly resources about the Wesleyan Tradition, theology, Christianity, and the Nazarene church hosted by the Wesley Center for Applied Theology at Northwest Nazarene University. We are thankful for the work of Richard Thompson in overseeing this repository.

Lecture sixteen of a series on the 'Doctrine of Atonement', delivered by Dr. Mildred Bangs Wynkoop during the fall of 1979 at Nazarene Theological Seminary. Dr. Wynkoop was a remarkable voice in the Church of the Nazarene—a writer, pastor, missionary, and theologian whose influence still resonates today. Her most celebrated works are Foundations of Wesleyan-Arminian Theology and A Theology of Love: The Dynamic of Wesleyanism, both of which continue to shape contemporary Wesleyan thought. Her ministry journey spanned the globe and the academy. She pastored churches in California and Oregon, taught at George Fox Evangelical Seminary, and served as the founding president of Japan Nazarene Theological Seminary. She also taught in Taiwan before returning to the United States to serve as Professor of Theology at Trevecca Nazarene College (1966–1976) and later at Nazarene Theological Seminary (1976–1979). Throughout her century-long life and ministry, Dr. Wynkoop met Phineas Bresee, studied under H. Orton Wiley and Olive Winchester, and left a profound impact on generations of students and colleagues across four Nazarene institutions—having studied at Point Loma Nazarene University and Northwest Nazarene University, and having taught at Trevecca Nazarene University and Nazarene Theological Seminary. *These recordings, captured initially in 1979, have been substantially restored. While Dr. Wynkoop's voice has been clarified, student questions during Q&A segments may be difficult to discern. Her responses, however, remain clear and impactful.* Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My Guest: Tim Ferriss is the author of five #1 New York Times bestsellers (including The 4-Hour Work Week, Tools of Titans, and Tribe of Mentors). His podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show, has been listened to more than a billion times. Tim was an early investor in Uber, Shopify, Twitter, Alibaba, and many others. He's the creator of a new card game called COYOTE. Decision making - How can I win even if I lose? He viewed angel investing like his personal MBA. Instead of paying for business school, he invested in companies and learned about business by working with actual businesses. He didn't expect to make money on those investments. That was just a bonus. Think, “How can I win even if I lose?” Tim won with those investments, regardless of whether he made money or not on them. Key Takeaways and Learnings: Parents Who Foster Curiosity – Tim's mother created a "books are always in budget" policy despite tight finances. Used remainder tables at bookstores to expose him to random, off-menu knowledge that sparked lifelong curiosity about unconventional topics. Curiosity-Driven Exploration – When Tim showed interest in marine biology, his mom found Frank Mundus (inspiration for Jaws character), arranged a meeting, and created low-cost adventures like crab fishing with chicken bones to fuel his interests. The Mask You Wear Becomes You – "Be very careful what you pretend to be" - spent years presenting as overly serious to be taken seriously, which created a recursive feedback loop. Now embraces more play and laughter to avoid burnout. Fiction and Poetry as Life Teachers – Shifted from non-fiction purist to reading more fiction/poetry. Recommends "Ozymandias" as a monthly reminder that all achievements fade: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains." Internal vs External Scorecards – Money and fame amplify whatever's underneath, like alcohol or power. "If you have certain insecurities or paranoia, all of those are going to be amplified. If you're generous, that's also gonna be the case." Effectiveness Over Efficiency – "Effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things well, but doing something well does not make it important." Focus on choosing the right targets rather than optimizing everything. Strategic Slack in Systems – Moved away from filling every 10 minutes. Takes 10 minutes each morning with coffee to read fiction/poetry/meditate to prove "you do not have to front flip out of bed and land in a full sprint." How to Win Even If You Fail – Project selection framework: "How can I win even if I fail?" Focus on relationships built and skills acquired that transfer beyond the project if external metrics don't pan out. The COYOTE Game Philosophy – Created a card game to address the social isolation epidemic. "People don't have a shortage of productivity advice... It's taking some steam out of the system and actually enjoying what you have worked so hard for." Social Bonds as Foundation – "It's the relationships, stupid." Countries rated happiest fundamentally come down to social ties. In-person social interactions are down 70% in certain age groups over the last 10 years. Podcasting as Relationship Building – "My goal is not to have 100% of my audience like any episode... but I do want 10% of my audience to love each episode." The personal is the most universal. Fame's Hidden Costs – With the audience size of major cities comes proportional number of unstable people. "If you have a small village, you're gonna have one village idiot... "How many crazy people are there in New York City?" "Be suspicious of what you want." Tim read me the poem by Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley "If more information were the answer, we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs." Be a talent scout - You don't need a huge network. A+ players in one area know A+ players in others. Seek out people who are great at what they do, regardless of what they do. Study what makes them great at that thing. Then you'll probably meet other A+ players. Also, it's on us to strive to be an A+ player at what we do. Be so good at whatever your thing is that other A+ players want to meet you. Tim has been very good at that. Quotes: "Be very careful what you pretend to be... the mask you wear often becomes the person you are." "Be suspicious of what you want." (Rumi) "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty and despair. Nothing beside remains." "Effectiveness is doing the right things, efficiency is doing things well, but doing something well does not make it important." "How can I win even if I fail?" "The personal is the most universal." "It's the relationships, stupid." "If more information were the answer, then we'd all be billionaires with six-pack abs." "Follow your curiosity and obsessions with great rigor. Do that and I like your chances." "The superheroes you have in your mind are nearly all walking flaws who've maximized one or two strengths." "You don't need a huge network... the super A+ players tend to know other A+ players." Life Lessons: Cultivate Childhood Curiosity – Create "always yes" policies for learning and exploration. Use constraints (like remainder tables) to discover unexpected interests. Embrace Strategic Experimentation – View life as a series of 6-12-month projects with 2-4 week experiments. Design studies to get feedback, not just chase outcomes. Balance Seriousness with Play – Taking yourself too seriously leads to burnout. Build in recovery phases and "deloading" periods across all life areas. Choose Projects for Learning – Select opportunities based on relationships you'll build and skills you'll acquire, not just potential external rewards. Start With Personal Pain Points – Best opportunities often come from solving problems you personally understand deeply, then expanding adjacent. Build Safety Nets First – Like Arnold's real estate, before acting, create financial/emotional cushions that allow you to say no and wait for right opportunities. Quality Over Quantity in Relationships – Better to have deep connections with fewer people than surface-level networks with many. Morning Rituals Create Calm – Prove to your nervous system you don't have to be frantic by taking 10 minutes each morning for something peaceful. Scratch Your Own Itch – Whether in podcasting, investing, or any pursuit, follow genuine personal interest for sustainable energy and authentic results. Prepare for Success Taxes – Fame and wealth amplify existing traits. Address insecurities and develop strong boundaries before scaling. Value Present Experience – Focus on daily energy in/out rather than constantly deferring happiness to future achievements. Apply to be part of my next Learning Leader Circle.

Send us a textQuality childcare creates the foundation for lifelong learning and development, but finding the right program often leaves parents confused, frustrated, and uncertain. What should you actually look for beyond a clean facility and friendly staff? How do you know if a program will nurture your child's development in ways that matter?In this illuminating conversation, Dr. Lisa Hassler welcomes Judith Sikora, a respected voice in early childhood education with over three decades of leadership at national organizations like Child Care Aware of America. Sikora cuts through the confusion with practical wisdom that helps parents make informed choices based on what truly matters.We explore the crucial differences between licensing (minimum safety standards) and quality indicators, examining adult-to-child ratios, curriculum approaches, staff qualifications, and physical environments. Sikora explains why staff trained specifically in early childhood education rather than elementary education provide better experiences for young children—"it's like comparing elephants to apples"—and guides parents through evaluating center-based programs, family childcare homes, and friend/family care options based on their child's unique temperament and needs.Perhaps most surprisingly, Sikora challenges the common parental focus on academic readiness, revealing why communication skills and problem-solving abilities matter far more than memorizing letters and numbers at early ages. She offers specific questions to ask during program visits, observations to make about toys and activities, and explains how to access helpful resources like childcareaware.org's age-specific checklists.

This difference-making guy keeps putting great thoughts out there. The guy, is Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and the question he is sharing is - “What can we learn from this?” The “this” is everything going on in our lives! This got me to post this about what he shared: Coach John Daly (@coachtosuccess) “Life always presents moments of learning…” I'm trying to remind myself lately and quite frankly, I need to do this every single day, what are the lessons in those moments where I feel down, negative on myself, etc. I'm working very hard to continue to not stay in those “down” moments - which can be many in today's world, and I want to pull myself out of those moments sooner in order to get better and keep learning. This is a powerful mindset to have in our tool belt each and every day!! Thanks for listening.
