The story was always there. It just took the right storytellers to find it. That's the central lesson of Formula 1: Drive to Survive, and it's the same one B2B marketers keep missing. Michael Londgren, CMO at Responsive, joins us to unpack why Drive to Survive is one of the best modern case studies in brand building, and what it teaches us about storytelling, category creation, and why the best product doesn't always win. Together, we dig into why optimizing for serendipity beats optimizing for control, why nobody actually cares about your product features, and why treating marketing as a favor to your team might be the most expensive executive mistake of all. About our guest, Michael Londgren Michael Londgren is CMO at Responsive, the category leader in strategic response management - helping companies win more business with faster, trusted responses to RFPs, security questionnaires, and due diligence requests. He joined the company when it was still known as RFPIO and helped lead its rebrand and category creation strategy. Before that, he held senior marketing roles at DocuSign and Ariba. He's also a committed McLaren fan and a reluctant F1 convert who has since gone fully down the rabbit hole. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From Formula 1: Drive to Survive The story was always there — your job is to find it. F1 racing existed for decades before Drive to Survive. The rivalries, the drama, the characters - none of it was invented. What changed was that someone decided to actually tell the story. Ian's point is direct: "In B2B, we do the same exact thing where we just make excuses for ourselves about how boring we are. It's not boring to the people whose life's work it is." Michael connects it to the 15,000 SaaS solutions all competing for a slot in a company's stack of roughly 30: "If you're a standard B2B marketer doing the standard B2B things in a sea of 15,000 competitors, you're not gonna win." The brands that break through aren't the ones with the best features - they're the ones who found a human story worth telling. Don't brief your way to authenticity. Go find the story. Optimize for serendipity, not control. When Drive to Survive's producers started filming, they didn't know what the show would look like. They didn't know if teams would open up. They didn't know what rivalries would emerge. Season 1 was imperfect, messy, and completely riveting. Ian draws the line to B2B: "What people do is they don't do that, because they want to optimize for control. Whereas optimizing for serendipity is a far better strategy." B2B marketing teams script every word, engineer every answer, and then wonder why nobody engages. Michael connects it to something he learned from Keith Krach, co-founder of Ariba: "Luck is when opportunity meets preparation." The grind is still required — you just can't design the outcome. Sometimes the thing that makes the show is the character you didn't plan on finding. Nobody cares about your product. They care about value. Michael puts it plainly: "Let's be honest, nobody cares about the product. They don't." Drive to Survive runs eight seasons and barely covers how the cars actually work. The engineering matters enormously. But it's not the story. The story is the drivers, the rivalries, the decisions, and what it costs to win. Michael connects it directly to Responsive's rebrand from RFPIO: "RFPIO is very product focused. Responsive is a higher value, more interesting concept. Everyone wants to be responsive. That's an aspiration." The lesson for any B2B brand: lead with what the value unlocks, back it with customer voices, and let the product prove itself rather than trying to prove it upfront. Marketing is a strategic imperative, not a favor. Ian heard something on a recent shoot that stuck with him: a senior executive said, "Anything to help marketing." It sounds generous. It's actually the wrong frame entirely. "You're not helping marketing," Ian says. "You're doing the thing that is strategically imperative for our business." He identifies three people any audience most wants to hear from: the CEO (who sets the vision), customers (who validate the value), and anyone inside the organization who happens to be genuinely interesting. Michael adds the Responsive example - a team member who started small-group Coffee Chats with customers, grew them to hundreds of regulars, and became a mini-celebrity in their community: "Identifying who really resonates and putting investment behind that person. That's it." "The future of marketing is customer success — how customers are getting value — and bringing that to life authentically. Back to Drive to Survive: authentic human storytelling within the context of high-stakes racing. That combination is a winning combination." — Michael Londgren Time Stamps [1:33] Meet Michael Londgren, CMO at Responsive [2:25] Why Formula 1: Drive to Survive?

Factoring might be the most argued-about topic in small carrier Facebook groups. Half the comments say it saved their business. The other half say it nearly destroyed it. And everybody's got a story about a contract they didn't read closely enough, a reserve they couldn't get back, or a fee they didn't see coming until it was too late. The frustration is real. And it's earned. But here's the part that doesn't get talked about honestly — a lot of carriers who hate factoring don't hate factoring. They hate the decision they made around it. The company they chose. The contract they signed without understanding. The moment they confused having cash in their account with actually being ahead. Ivan Martinez and George McWilliams have spent years on the other side of that conversation. Between them they've worked with owner-operators and small fleets across every kind of market condition — the freight boom, the recession, the recovery happening right now. George grew up around trucking. This industry isn't abstract to him. Ivan has watched carriers use factoring to grow and watched others use it as a band-aid over a cash flow problem that was bigger than any factoring arrangement could fix. Today we're not here to sell anything. We're here to have the conversation most people avoid — what factoring actually is, where the industry went wrong, what the legitimate criticisms are, and what every small carrier needs to understand before they sign anything. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

We’ve all had rough flights, but this takes the cake...

Typography is often treated as a detail — the thing you finalize after the real design decisions are made. But for our next guest, it's closer to the foundation everything else rests on. He's spent two decades in editorial design at some of the most iconic American magazines — Men's Health, Esquire, Popular Science, Entertainment Weekly — and he's now the Creative Director of Fast Company, where he recently led a redesign that does something pretty unusual: the magazine gets a completely new typeface every single issue. His name is Mike Schnaidt. This is a preview of a premium episode. Visit our Substack to listen to the entire interview: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mike-schnaidt Mike's also a professor, a runner, and the author of Creative Endurance — a book that maps the principles of physical and mental endurance onto the creative life. It's built around 56 rules for sustaining a career in design, drawn from interviews with ultra-marathoners, astronauts, and designers who've pushed way past the limits most people set for themselves. And as you'll hear, he's already working on book two. We chat about the nuts and bolts of typography (utilitarian vs. expressive, food metaphors, Fast Company's per-issue typeface system) to the philosophy underneath it all (design as service, authorship, hospitality). We dig into his book Creative Endurance — 56 rules for sustaining a creative career drawn from athletes, astronauts, and designers — and his counterintuitive take on burnout: the cure isn't rest, it's picking up something creatively different. Bio Mike Schnaidt is the creative director of Fast Company. He's also the host of the Webby-awarded video series It's All in the Typeface, a professor of illustration at the School of Visual Arts, and the former president of the Society of Publication Designers. One of the coolest moments in his life was when Paula Scher said his first book, Creative Endurance, was “beautifully designed.” His second book arrives in 2028. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.

What does it look like to pastor with a long view in mind? In this episode of the Timothy Project Podcast, Chad Hunsberger sits down with Jason Cook, senior pastor of Fellowship Bible Church, for an honest conversation about ministry, leadership, church unity, and surviving the difficult seasons of pastoral life. Reflecting on his first five years as lead pastor, Jason shares lessons learned through transition, burnout, leadership challenges, and the slow work of building trust in a local church. The conversation explores the tension of leading through change, the beauty of churches partnering instead of competing, and the importance of finding identity in Christ rather than ministry success or failure. Jason offers encouragement for pastors navigating criticism, church transitions, and the emotional weight of shepherding God's people — reminding listeners that faithfulness matters more than personal recognition. This episode is a refreshing and deeply pastoral conversation for church leaders longing to lead with humility, endurance, and gospel-centered perspective.

Thousands of people enter trucking every year looking for a better future. Many are chasing freedom. Some are trying to build wealth. Others are leaving careers they have spent decades building in hopes of creating something of their own. Some make it. Many don't. In this episode, Adam sits down with Victor "Bigg Vic" Newton, founder of Bigg Vic TV and one of the most recognized voices in trucking entrepreneurship. Before trucking, Vic spent 28 years as a barber, building relationships, serving customers and mastering a trade. Then he made a decision many people only talk about — he bet on himself and started over. Nearly six years later, he has experienced the highs of great-paying freight, the lows of expensive repairs, the challenges of building a small fleet and the reality of operating in one of the toughest industries in America. But this conversation is not really about trucks. It is about ownership. It is about accountability. It is about the decisions that separate the people who survive from the people who quit. Over the years, Vic has built an audience of more than 100,000 subscribers by challenging some of the most common beliefs in trucking. From chasing load boards and buying trucks too early to blaming brokers, rates and market conditions, he argues that many of the problems carriers face start long before they ever book a load. This is not the social media version of trucking. This is the real version. The version where cash flow matters, mistakes are expensive, discipline beats motivation and success often comes down to how you think when things are not going your way. If you are an owner-operator, small fleet owner or entrepreneur trying to build something that lasts, this conversation will challenge the way you think about trucking, business and yourself.  ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Military freight is one of the most misunderstood corners of trucking. Most owner-operators hear about Department of Defense freight and immediately assume: it's impossible to access, only big fleets can get it, or the system is too complicated to understand. But the reality is deeper than that. In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Philip Nenadov, CEO of Military Freight Consultants, to break down how military freight actually works, why the system operates under a completely different standard, and what small carriers misunderstand most about getting involved. This conversation digs into: Why military freight demands tighter compliance Why most carriers struggle to qualify The difference between transactional freight and trusted freight How the DoD views risk and carrier accountability Why discipline matters more than truck count And what the broader trucking industry can learn from military logistics This is not a sales episode. It's a real discussion about standards, structure, and what separates professional carriers from everyone else. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode, we dive into one of the most tender and complex challenges couples face after betrayal: rebuilding trust that lasts. Even when sobriety is sustained and growth is evident, many spouses still feel the hidden fear that the “other shoe” will eventually drop. Our guests, Tyler and Shari Chinchen, help us unpack why trust can remain fragile, what behaviors—often unintentional—can quietly undo months of healing, and how couples can avoid these subtle pitfalls. We'll explore the markers of thriving couples who have restored trust over time and what practices consistently set them up for long-term stability. We also address two difficult but common experiences: when the recovering spouse feels they've rebuilt more than their partner recognizes, and when betrayal happens again after meaningful progress. Lastly, we discuss why trust must be rebuilt in every area of marriage, the role of group support, and what to do when trust gets stuck despite years of effort.

What does it take to bring the gospel where Christ is not yet known—and remain faithful for the long haul? Summary In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson speaks with Janelle Stoops about calling, cost, perseverance, and leadership formation in frontier mission. Drawing from her years in Central Asia and her current leadership with A3, Janelle shares what she has learned about reaching unreached and unengaged people groups, preparing leaders for mission, and cultivating rhythms that sustain faithful service over time. Main Points Calling begins with surrendered obedience. Janelle shares how a sense of calling at age 16 eventually led her to Central Asia as a young missionary. Frontier mission is costly and often slow. Life among unreached people requires perseverance, cultural humility, language learning, and faithful obedience when visible fruit takes time. God is already at work among the unreached. Stories of dreams, visions, digital outreach, and spiritual hunger remind us that mission begins with joining what God is already doing. Prayer must come before strategy. Janelle emphasizes extraordinary prayer as foundational for ministry among unreached and unengaged peoples. Disciple-making should be relational and reproducible. The gospel spreads naturally through families, friendships, local believers, and simple practices that new disciples can carry forward. Leadership must be formed for the long haul. Competence and charisma should never outpace character; healthy leaders need spiritual formation, rhythms of silence and solitude, and wisdom for each season of life.   Call to Action If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to the Lausanne Movement Podcast and share it with a leader, missionary, or young person discerning a call to mission.

Most trucking companies don't fail because freight disappears. They fail because cash flow breaks first. In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Michael Bunton to discuss one of the most overlooked realities in trucking: cash flow management. Michael's background is unique — from professional baseball with the Chicago Cubs organization to human performance coaching before entering transportation finance and working directly with small carriers across the Southeast. This conversation breaks down: Why profitable carriers still go out of business The dangerous cash flow cycle many small fleets ignore Why emotional decision-making destroys margins The hidden operational costs small carriers overlook What owner-operators misunderstand about factoring And why discipline matters more than revenue This episode is not about promoting factoring. It's about understanding how trucking businesses survive. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What does lifting in your 50s and 60s actually look like after a full decade under the bar? In this episode of Beast Over Burden's Lifting for the Long Haul series, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson sit down with Marty Curran—Barbell Logic client, gym owner, coach, and competitive masters lifter—to talk about what nearly 10 years of coached barbell training has taught him about strength, aging, recovery, and longevity. Marty shares how he went from over 300 pounds, to dramatic weight loss, to discovering that being lighter wasn't enough—he needed strength. From there, he built a decade-long journey through coaching, competition, shoulder surgery, evolving programming, and learning how to adapt as recovery changes with age. This conversation explores the realities of lifting in your 50s and 60s, including how to manage intensity, why coaching becomes even more valuable as you age, how recovery changes, and why competition or meaningful goals can keep training purposeful for life. If you've ever wondered how to keep lifting, competing, and staying strong as you get older, this episode offers a real-world look at what it takes.

The agencies performing best right now are not always the biggest or the most specialized. They are the ones figuring out how to evolve alongside their clients, lead with conviction, and build something that lasts. And that includes actively reflecting on the lessons of leadership learned along the way.Anne Green sits down with Beth Cleveland, CEO of Praytell, and Laura Tomasetti, CEO and founder of 360PR+, to mark their shared recognition on PRWeek's 2026 Women of Distinction list. The three trade lessons learned across decades of leadership – from what feels familiar versus what feels genuinely new in the agency world right now to the rise of AI as a value-creating catalyst. They share stories of the mentors who shaped them, why "walk around" leadership still matters in a hybrid world, and how celebrating small wins is critical for teams in danger of burning out on constant change. The conversation closes with practical leadership advice for anyone earlier in their career, including the case for active listening, leaning into your authentic strengths, and not traveling “too light” when it comes to maintaining the relationships you build along the way.In this episode:Why the best agencies today are operating partners, not just service providersHow to balance the pace of change with sustainable, healthy team cultureWhat active listening, authenticity, and curiosity unlock for emerging leadersThe case for thinking like a counselor early in your career, not just an executor

Kentucky's Republican primary out of its 4th District has turned into the most expensive House primary in American history, and it doesn't take a detective to tell where the money went. No, not into field operations. Not into policy. Not even into persuasion. It went into some of the most deranged political advertisements I have ever seen. Thirty-two million dollars dumped into a district where basically all the ad spending is concentrated around Cincinnati media buys, and the result is a nonstop fever dream where every commercial break feels like somebody slipped hallucinogens into the broadcast feed.At the center of all this is Thomas Massie, who has spent years building a reputation as the libertarian conscience of the Republican Party. He's the guy who votes no on spending bills, needles leadership, pushes Epstein file transparency, and generally treats party discipline like a disease. Normally that kind of anti-establishment energy would mesh perfectly with Trumpism. Instead, Trump absolutely hates him. Massie crossed him too many times, and now removing him from Congress has become a personal project for the president.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The actual challenger, Ed Gallrein, barely matters as a political figure in his own race. His campaign's main qualification is basically “Donald Trump likes me more than the other guy.” That's enough. The first ads are almost normal by comparison. One of them goes after Massie for abandoning his old support for term limits. Another features Massie literally walking alongside a CGI elephant wearing a MAGA hat and Trump hair while talking about how he and Trump are aligned after all. It's less “principled constitutional conservative” and more “please stop yelling at me, sir.”Then the campaign fully leaves Earth's atmosphere. One anti-Gallrein ad argues that the real force behind the race is some kind of shadowy gay liberal conspiracy, complete with rainbow lighting effects and a parade of terrifyingly unflattering images of trans women like the editor accidentally imported a folder labeled “Fox News Facebook comments.” In other words, on't be fooled by Trump endorsing Gallrein — the real people backing him are THE GAYS. It feels less like a campaign commercial and more like a local-access panic attack.And then came the AI ad. One PAC generated fake footage of Thomas Massie romantically wandering around Washington with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar. Hand-holding. Walking together. Getting into cars. Ending at a hotel room with a “Do Not Disturb” sign hanging on the door. The implication is obviously that Massie is not merely politically disloyal, but sexually and emotionally aligned with the Democratic left in some kind of forbidden MSNBC throuple. This is the sort of nonsense that 32 million dollars will buy you in 2026.The craziest part is that this stuff probably works. Maybe not the specifics, but the overall environment absolutely does. If you live in Kentucky right now, these ads are your atmosphere. You cannot escape them. Basketball game? Ads. Baseball? Ads. YouTube? Ads. Streaming? Ads. Every available surface is screaming about Thomas Massie, Donald Trump, transgender conspiracies, and AI-generated hotel hookups. National media tends to treat Massie like an interesting ideological dissenter, but Republican primaries are not decided by cable-news admiration. They're decided by highly motivated Republican voters who really, really care whether Donald Trump wants somebody gone.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:03:33 - Kentucky Primary Ads00:13:51 - Interview with Ryan McBeth00:42:30 - $1 Billion Ballroom00:45:58 - IRS Lawsuit00:49:49 - Trump's Bad Polls00:54:08 - Interview with Ryan McBeth, con't01:32:40 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

Welcome to S04E09 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid Podcast. This episode is part two of my catch-up chat with Megan Wages, my second-ever podcast guest, first wave Covid long hauler, co-owner of Fancy Free Nursery in Tampa, Florida, and the guest of last week's S04E08, Running a Small Business as a Covid Long Hauler with Megan Wages. In this episode, we talk about plants! I've become a plant lady in the last 6 years, and I've noticed that my plants tend to tell me a lot about how I'm feeling. First I noticed that the downstairs ones were fine. The upstairs ones were so sad. Turns out there's a reason for that. In Part 2 of this two-part episode, we get into the actual plant content. Specifically: what should a spoonie with limited energy, unpredictable symptoms, and a complicated relationship with energy actually grow?The answer is: more than you think. Megan walks through her spoonie-approved plant list, propagation tips, why your Calathea's attitude is not your fault, and the thing fluoride in tap water does to your spider plant. She also answers listener questions live, talks about soils, orchids in wine decanters, and the surprisingly emotional experience of a plant that keeps coming back no matter how badly you've neglected it.There's also a spider plant baby giveaway. Alysia won. She lives in a basement apartment and this is probably the perfect plant. I wish I had the spoons to get to the post office and send it to her. One day, my love!!! I promise!IN THIS EPISODE:Snake plants and ZZ plants: the spoonie ride-or-diesZZ Raven: the black plant for the goth baddiesPothos propagation and the hormone tip nobody talks aboutWhy I am a self-described prop lifterThe "teats" moment (you'll know it when you hear it)Ripsalis: if spaghetti became a plantSpider plants and the fluoride problemBurgundy rubber tree, Tineke, and the fiddle leaf fig blue sky tipOrchids in wine decanters: the lab aestheticAlocasia: pretty, finicky, spider mite magnetsWhy Walmart plants are a gamble (the fish department story)LECA: the water-to-soil bridge methodYour plant's health as a mirror for your mental healthListener questions answered Spider plant baby giveaway

Everybody wants somebody to blame. Brokers. ELDs. Immigration. Mega carriers. The government. The spot market. But what if the problems facing trucking today go much deeper than social media talking points? In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Stephen Ruhe — third-generation trucking operator, Navy veteran, brokerage leader, and trucking history enthusiast — to break down how outdated regulations, industry evolution, and a lack of accountability continue shaping modern trucking today. This conversation dives into: Why modern trucking problems didn't start in 1980 How old regulations still impact carriers today Why social media oversimplifies complex industry issues The relationship between brokers and carriers Why relationships still matter more than technology And why small carriers fail when they spend more time blaming than adapting This episode isn't about nostalgia. It's about understanding how we got here. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Why Therapists Stop Working with Kids and What It Takes to Stay: Sustainability, Boundaries, and Pivots for the Long Haul Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT push back on the field's quiet stereotype that working with kids is the "starter home" of private practice, the place clinicians put in time before graduating to a cardigan and a wing-back chair. Working with kids and teens is not entry-level work. It is some of the most clinically and physically demanding work in the profession, and it has a sustainability problem that rarely gets named honestly. Curt and Katie examine why so many therapists who work with kids and teens hit a wall around the five-year mark, and why that wall is rarely about clinical depth. They unpack the sensory toll, the parent communication load, the school and provider coordination, the cost of running a play therapy room, and the way a child caseload can quietly distort a clinician's sense of what is developmentally typical. They also talk about how to build a long-haul career working with kids, teens, and families without becoming, in Curt's words, "a cynical, glitter-covered shell of a human being." This is a conversation for therapists in private practice, supervisors of clinicians who work with minors, and anyone weighing whether to keep working with kids, scale back, or pivot. In this episode, we discuss: Why working with kids is not a lesser clinical specialty Why the work is hard to sustain, and why "burnout" alone does not fully explain it How shifting from kid sessions to family work and parent work extends the clinical impact The sensory, physical, and administrative load of working with kids Why parents contact child therapists more than adult clients contact their own therapists The financial and logistical reality of running a play therapy room How a clinical caseload can distort a therapist's sense of typical development When a pivot to adult, family, or parent work is healthy, and when it is avoidance Timestamps: 00:15 — The "starter home" stereotype, and the five-year wall 06:03 — The 167-hour problem and why kid work is family work 10:08 — The sensory and physical toll 12:58 — Caseload diversification and structuring the day 19:41 — The unpaid hours: parents, schools, and the village 23:43 — The play therapy industrial complex 27:59 — Keeping up with kids' culture without losing yourself 30:19 — How a clinical caseload distorts the sense of typical development 33:09 — Expectations, moral injury, and what "fix my kid" really costs 35:01 — When a pivot is survival, and when it is avoidance Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann — https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano — https://groomsymusic.com/

Many small carriers think they have a driver problem. They don't. They have a messaging problem… a positioning problem… and a clarity problem. In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Elijah Cramer — who built his career inside driver recruiting before moving into tech and working directly with carriers to improve hiring and retention This conversation breaks down: Why driver recruiting is still broken for small fleets What drivers actually care about vs what carriers think they care about Why “we treat drivers like family” isn't working anymore How small fleets can compete without big budgets And how to fix your hiring problem without wasting money If you're struggling to hire or keep drivers… this one is going to challenge how you think. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Strength training for golfers is one of the most overlooked ways to improve performance on the course. Many golfers still believe that lifting weights will make them stiff or hurt their swing—but the reality is the opposite. Getting stronger is one of the fastest ways to increase club head speed, gain distance, and improve overall athleticism. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson talk with Barbell Logic client and PGA golf coach Jimmy Wisinski about how strength training for golfers directly translates to better performance. Jimmy shares his journey from program hopping and plateauing in the gym to breaking through strength barriers and regaining the power he had in his college years. The conversation explores how strength training impacts force production, which ultimately drives club head speed and distance. Even small increases in swing speed can add meaningful yardage, and over the course of a round, that can significantly impact scoring. Jimmy also explains how professional golfers today are lifting heavier than ever, and why strength training has become standard across the PGA and LPGA tours. Niki and Andrew dig into how Jimmy balances training with a demanding schedule as a full-time golf coach. With long days on his feet and high mental load, his program emphasizes efficiency, consistency, and recovery. Rather than doing more, he focuses on doing the right amount of work and adjusting based on fatigue, workload, and season. The episode also highlights the importance of coaching. As a coach himself, Jimmy recognized that having an outside perspective helped him break through plateaus, push beyond his comfort zone, and stay consistent. The parallels between coaching in the gym and coaching on the golf course provide valuable insight for both athletes and coaches alike. Strength training for golfers is not just about lifting weights—it is about building power, improving confidence, and creating a foundation for long-term performance. Whether you are trying to hit the ball farther, stay competitive as you get older, or simply feel better on and off the course, this episode shows how strength training can help you get there.

Everyone wants to own a truck. Very few understand what comes after.

Welcome to season 4, episode 6 of A Friend for the Long Haul - A Long Covid Podcast! One of my very favorite people is back on the pod: Amaranthia Sepia, co-founder of Sista Creatives Rising, commissioned seed packet artist for Sista Seeds, and now digital media manager for the disability and design podcast Down to the Struts. Amaranthia is a 26-year-old Black, disabled, neurodivergent artist and organizer based in New Hampshire, and in this conversation we get to really dig into her story, not only as a creative behind Sista Creatives Rising, but as an artist whose work is rooted in her family's gardening history, her love of Black women and the land, and her own hard-won journey toward self-preservation and community.We talk about her stunning seed packet illustrations for Sistah Seeds, founded by Amirah Mitchell. From the website: "In 2021, Amirah founded Sistah Seeds to connect black and brown growers to our culturally-important seeds. Sistah Seeds is one of a small but growing number of black-owned seed businesses in the U.S., changing the landscape of the seed industry. Together, we are part of a multi-ethnic, multi-national movement of farmers and seed-keepers, working to preserve our heritage and create a strong agricultural future for our communities."We also talk about hydroponics, healing, and how growing food for her mom during a health crisis sparked something lasting. We talk about Amaranthia's new role at Down to the Struts, how an unexpected $3,000 Social Security notice lit a fire under her to pursue additional work, and why remote, disability-justice-rooted employment is the difference between thriving and burning out.We also discuss what it's meant to find a vibrant disabled community online after years of navigating bullying, racism, misogynoir, and ableism...including the assumption that being homebound automatically means your life is sad and small. (Spoiler: it absolutely does not.)We also talk about Lilette, the tiny blue masking frog who has become the mascot of Sista Creatives Rising and might just end up in a children's book. No promises. But also maybe.Links mentioned in this episode:Sistah Creatives Rising: sistahcreativesrising.comSista Seeds: sistahseeds.comDown to the Struts (podcast on disability & design): downtothestruts.com Sista Creatives Rising on Instagram (for Lilette merch & links)The Sistas Uprising Fund micro grantsMentioned or featured in this episode:Katrina Dreamer (my pacing buddy, ep. 1, season 2 & season 3)Lissy Donovan (long hauler and business owner, ep. 9, season 3)

Most small carriers believe they're compliant. Until they're not. And by the time they find out… it's already too late. In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, Adam sits down with Brandon Wiseman of Trucksafe & Childress Law, a legal expert with nearly 20 years of experience in DOT safety, compliance, and accident exposure. This isn't a surface-level compliance conversation. This is about what actually happens when things go wrong.We break down: The biggest compliance mistakes small carriers make Why many fleets think violations don't matter The real consequences of non-compliance during an accident How enforcement is changing across the industry And the hard truth about what DOT compliance really means If you're running trucks and treating compliance like a checklist, this episode may change how you look at your entire operation. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

What does strength training actually look like after 10, 20, or even 30+ years? In this kickoff episode of our new series, Lifting for the Long Haul, hosts Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson introduce a collection of real stories from Barbell Logic clients and coaches who have committed to training across decades—not just chasing short-term results. This series is about more than PRs. It's about what happens when strength becomes part of your life—through career changes, injuries, aging, family responsibilities, and everything in between.

From evolving programming and long-term coach relationships to navigating setbacks and shifting goals, Lifting for the Long Haul explores what it really takes to train for life—not just the next workout. You'll also hear how priorities change over time. Early on, it might be about adding weight to the bar. But for many, the focus shifts toward quality of life—being active with your spouse, keeping up with your kids or grandkids, and maintaining independence as you age . If you've ever wondered how to keep lifting as life gets more complex—or how to make strength training something you can sustain for decades—this series is for you. Start thinking long-term. Play the long game. This is Lifting for the Long Haul.
