Podcasts about Losing

In today's episode, I sit down with Brent Gleeson, former Navy SEAL, combat veteran, entrepreneur, leadership expert, and author of his newest book All In. But this conversation isn't about résumés or accolades. It's about grief, discipline, marriage, fatherhood, and the systems that allow a man to truly live "all in" where it matters most.   Brent opens up about losing his father unexpectedly in 2023—a moment that forced deep reflection and radical change. We talk about the three pillars his dad lived by, how eliminating alcohol completely transformed Brent's marriage and leadership, and why discipline isn't about doing more—but about saying no to the wrong things. This episode is a masterclass in systems, habits, and intentional living for men who want to lead their families with clarity and conviction.     Timeline Summary: [0:00] Introducing Brent Gleeson and why this conversation goes far beyond achievements. [2:09] Losing his father in 2023 and the three pillars that shaped Brent's life. [2:57] How discipline is modeled—not preached. [3:28] Why saying yes to everything means saying no to the right things. [5:11] Family, work, and fitness as non-negotiable pillars. [8:05] The economic pressure and personal stress leading into 2023. [10:33] Being present for his father's final moments and the impact of that loss. [13:28] Going "all in" after grief and eliminating alcohol completely. [15:03] Why alcohol was no longer serving his marriage, health, or leadership. [17:21] How quitting drinking changed Brent's temperament, joy, and presence. [20:03] Larry shares his own experience stepping away from alcohol. [23:00] The cue–routine–reward framework for breaking habits. [28:39] Introducing Brent's "Remarkable Results Pyramid." [30:37] Why marriage must come first in the family system. [33:18] Committing to growth by intentionally cringing at who you were six months ago. [36:05] Why kids are always watching how parents treat each other. [39:30] Brent's 20–20–20 morning routine and disciplined evening habits. [41:25] Preparing daily to show up better as a husband, father, and leader. [46:03] Adjusting routines without abandoning discipline. [50:43] Why overscheduling kids destroys family balance. [54:27] Saying no to excessive activities and rejecting comparison parenting.     Five Key Takeaways   Discipline is about alignment, not intensity. What you say no to matters just as much as what you say yes to.  Grief can be a catalyst for clarity. Losing his father forced Brent to re-evaluate habits, priorities, and presence.  Eliminating alcohol radically improved marriage and leadership. Removing numbing behaviors created more joy, patience, and connection.  Systems create results. Whether in business, marriage, or parenting, outcomes come from well-designed systems—not willpower.  Marriage must come first. When the relationship between mom and dad is prioritized, the rest of the family system functions better.      Links & Resources Brent Gleeson's Book — https://a.co/d/7DOrJPE Dad Edge Soulmates Program: https://thedadedge.com/soulmates 1st Phorm (Dad Edge Partner): https://1stphorm.com/dadedge Episode Show Notes & Resources: http://thedadedge.com/1419 Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark   Closing Remark If this episode challenged you to rethink discipline, habits, or what it really means to go all in as a husband and father, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Three days before Sheriff Mickey Stines allegedly walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and shot him nine times, an attorney contacted the Kentucky Bar Association asking what he could do to intervene. He had already warned Mullins directly. Told him Stines was losing it. The local police chief saw enough to say Stines had lost his mind. Staff inside the sheriff's office watched their boss place phone calls to relatives who had been dead for years. His friends took him to a doctor. The doctor diagnosed acute stress reaction and sent him home. Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead. Court documents reveal the warning signs were everywhere. Witnesses say Stines had not slept in days. He had lost a massive amount of weight. He was convinced unnamed people were going to kill his wife and daughter. He woke his wife at night to whisper because he believed their home was bugged. Coworkers saw it. An attorney saw it. The police chief saw it. Nobody had the power to stop it. Kentucky has no red flag law. Involuntary commitment requires proof of imminent danger, not paranoid delusions, not rapid weight loss, not bizarre behavior. And when the person in crisis is an elected sheriff, no one has the authority to suspend him, disarm him, or override his denials. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down what these behaviors actually mean clinically, what paranoid psychosis looks like, why people miss or dismiss the signs, and whether Stines' insanity defense might hold up in court. The widow's civil lawsuit now asks whether three sheriff's office employees should be held liable for failing to warn Mullins. Their defense: Kentucky law imposed no duty to warn or protect. Everyone did something. It was not enough. #MickeyStines #JudgeKevinMullins #TrueCrime #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #MentalHealthCrisis #InsanityDefense #WarningSigns #Psychosis #ShavaunScott #RedFlagLaws #TrueCrimeNews #SystemicFailure #LetcherCounty #KentuckyCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #MentalHealthAwareness #CriminalJustice #CourtroomDrama #TrueCrimeCommunity Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send one way text to Rev Rachel This week, while I am away, I'm sharing a replay from the Recover Your Soul Bonus Podcast. Together, we explore one of the tender teachings from Al-Anon through the lens of Recover Your Soul, the quiet courage it takes to stop pretending you're fine and to gently return to yourself.Many of us learned to people-please as a way to stay safe. We tried to hold the family together, soften the edges for everyone else, and become whatever version of ourselves we thought was needed in the moment. And over time, that way of living can pull us farther and farther away from our own truth, our own voice, and even our own feelings.In this episode, we reflect on a beautiful reading from In All Our Affairs about “the obligation to be myself.” We look at what it means to slowly release the façade, to feel what you feel without managing the emotions of everyone around you, and to begin discovering who you truly are and not who you learned to be.Through my perspective in Recover Your Soul, we look at • why authenticity is part of spiritual awakening • how people-pleasing keeps us disconnected from our true selves • why detachment creates space for everyone's growth • the difference between being “nice” and being whole • how to honor your feelings without laying them on others • and what it means to walk through your life as the real youIf this conversation resonates with you, I invite you to subscribe on Apple Podcasts or become a member on Patreon, where you receive a new Recover Your Soul Bonus episode every week.

Jack reflects off the back of yet another home defeat and defeat to Liverpool - something you'd think we're accustomed to be now, but still the frustration grows. From bad refereeing to questionable decision making from the players - it still felt like a largely uninspiring affair, aside from a rousing ending spearheaded by Richarlison. It needn't be all negatives, but we seriously need to start winning games. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Most Christians understand the concept of Heavenly crowns and eternal rewards. But how many of us have ever sought understanding from the Bible about what those rewards actually are? From a famous parable of Jesus, we gain some insights about how Heavenly rewards might play out in eternity? There is also the possibility that the rewards we have earned thus far might not become ours in the end. Yes, we can lose our rewards by failing to finish well. This message reveals one of the most common ways believers can lose their rewards.

There comes a moment in grief when striving runs out. When you've tried to hold it together, tried to understand, tried to manage the pain — and you realize you can't carry it this way anymore. If you're a grieving mom who feels exhausted by trying to control what can't be fixed, this episode is for you. In this fifth episode of the Advent series, we turn to Mary's quiet, courageous surrender in Luke 1:38. Mary didn't say yes to God because she understood the road ahead — she said yes because she trusted the One who would walk it with her. Her surrender didn't remove hardship, but it changed how she carried it. In this episode, you'll hear: Why surrender in grief is not weakness — it's wisdom What Mary's "yes" teaches grieving moms about trust without certainty How control often becomes a survival strategy after loss Why surrender doesn't mean letting go of your child, your love, or your story This Advent, you're invited to stop striving — and begin entrusting your heart to God, one day at a time. Grief Mentor Services ✨ GRIEF MENTOR SESSIONS If your heart feels overwhelmed or you're unsure how to navigate this season of grief, I would be honored to walk with you in a 1:1 Grief Mentor Session — a time of intentional listening, spiritual discernment, and compassionate mentorship to help you understand your grief and take steady steps forward.

Adam Silver has allowed the NBA to embrace gambling...which has caused constant issues between NBA players and fans. Losing gamblers constantly berate NBA players...causing altercations that could escalate. Adam Silver has decided to address the problem...and the NBA will be removing overly aggressive gamblers from the arena...and potentially banning them for life. We react to the NBA newest policy...and explain why it highlights the abundant hypocrisy in the NBA. We discuss the NBA imploring their fans to gamble...and now punishing those same fans for doing so.

2025 is set to end without the passage of a new health care bill. Congress had been working to hammer out new legislation before the holiday break. Democrats were pushing for an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that lowered the cost of health care premiums for millions of Americans. Those subsidies are set to expire at the end of 2025. House Democrats were joined in the fight by moderate Republicans who worried that skyrocketing healthcare costs would leave them vulnerable in next year's midterms. GOP leadership pushed for alternatives that would increase the possibility of coverage without the extensions. Lawmakers will resume the fight in January, with votes set for the extensions desired by Democrats after a Republican proposal passed earlier this week. Will the pressure of the midterms lead to larger cracks between GOP members and leadership?Midterms also have the potential to bring a new look to the Republican base. New polling from NBC News shows that the share of Republicans who identify as MAGA compared to traditional Republicans dipped from 57/43 in the spring to 50/50 as the year ends. Is this identity shift among voters a red flag for a party looking to increase turnout next November? And has the president lost some of his charm with Republican voters?Plus, does either party really care about the national debt anymore? Our KCRW panel answers one listener's question about a political argument that seems to have gone by the wayside. 

2025 marks 20 years of Google Maps — a tool that many of us would be, quite literally, lost without. We hear from New Orleanians who used Google Maps/Google Earth in its inaugural year to survey the damage to their homes following Hurricane Katrina. We also talk to the internet's Map Men, who ask whether "the best maps humanity has ever produced are simultaneously the worst maps for humanity?" in their new book, "This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (And Why It Matters)."

December 19, 2025:  Workers are hesitating before changing jobs. Parents are questioning whether college is still worth the cost. Talent shortages persist even as hiring slows. And U.S. regulators are signaling a major shift in how companies approach DEI. In this episode, we explore six key future-of-work stories shaping how people think about careers, education, productivity, and fairness at work. From new data on job mobility and workforce policy to early recession signals and changing attitudes toward vocational paths, these stories reveal a workforce moving from confidence to caution—and from slogans to systems.

In this powerful spiritual talk, Rev. Lee Wolak explores why authenticity is non-negotiable and how people-pleasing quietly erodes self-worth, confidence, and inner peace.

Start living aligned, grounded, and unapologetically real.

Maintaining Muscle Mass as You Age: Is Muscle Loss Inevitable? Have you noticed it's a little harder to get out of a chair… or your car… or maybe open a stubborn jar? You're not imagining things. Muscle loss—known medically as sarcopenia—can begin as early as your 30s and accelerates with age. But here's the good news: it's not inevitable, and it's certainly not too late to do something about it. In this episode, we head to mini medical school to break down what sarcopenia is, why it happens, when it typically starts, and why it matters for your strength, balance, independence, and long-term health. We'll talk hormones, protein (and why it's not magic), anabolic resistance, and the real-life signs of muscle loss you may already recognize. Most importantly, you'll learn practical, evidence-based strategies to maintain—and even rebuild—muscle as you age through balanced nutrition, resistance training, and consistent movement. No extremes. No perfection. Just real-world habits that work. Plus, I'm sharing details about the upcoming Healthy Looks Great on You Lab, a private community launching January 5th where we turn podcast knowledge into real-life results—together. Aging is inevitable. Losing strength doesn't have to be. And healthy?  Healthy Looks Great on You.  USDA Protein Calculator HERE Learn more about The LAB HERE Get details about the LAB by email HERE

Trump delivers a prime-time address focused on defending the economy and tariffs and bashing his predecessor and democrats. Plus, Speaker Johnson insists he has control of the House as four Republicans break rank and force a vote on extending ACA subsidies. And, the U.S. military announced another boat strike that killed four people just a day after the president annouced a 'complete blockade' of sanctioned oil tankers in and out of Venezuela.

As swing traders, we have to accept that losing will be a regular part of trading and one that we must accept. In this podcast episode, Ryan explains how a trader who isn't comfortable with losing is a losing trader.

Three days before Sheriff Mickey Stines allegedly walked into Judge Kevin Mullins' chambers and shot him nine times, an attorney contacted the Kentucky Bar Association asking what he could do to intervene. He'd already warned Mullins directly. Told him Stines was "losing it." The local police chief had seen enough to say Stines had "lost his mind." Staff inside the sheriff's office watched their boss make phone calls to relatives who had been dead for years. They got him to a doctor. The doctor sent him home with a diagnosis of "acute stress reaction." Twenty-four hours later, Kevin Mullins was dead. This isn't a story about people who didn't care. It's a story about people who saw a crisis developing, took action within the limits of what they could actually do, and discovered those limits weren't anywhere close to enough. Kentucky has no red flag law. Involuntary commitment requires proof of imminent danger — not paranoid delusions, not rapid weight loss, not bizarre behavior. And when the person in crisis is an elected sheriff, nobody has the authority to suspend him, disarm him, or override his denials. Court documents exposed this week reveal just how many people recognized something catastrophic was happening — and how the systems we've built gave them almost no power to stop it. The widow's civil lawsuit now asks whether three sheriff's office employees should be held liable for failing to warn Judge Mullins. Their defense: Kentucky law imposed no duty to warn or protect. Everyone did something. It wasn't enough. And the gap between "someone should do something" and anyone having the power to actually do it is where Kevin Mullins died. #MickeyStines #JudgeMullins #TrueCrime #KentuckySheriff #CourthouseShooting #MentalHealthCrisis #RedFlagLaws #TrueCrimeNews #SystemicFailure Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You've probably heard it a thousand times: “Use AI or get left behind.” But if you're a course creator, that advice can feel like a trap, because the fastest way to “use AI” is also the fastest way to sound generic and lose your voice. In this episode, I sit down with Dan Cumberland, who helps founder-led brands scale with AI without losing their soul, and honestly, this conversation felt like a giant exhale. We dig into how to use AI in a way that keeps your content human, especially when it comes to marketing (the place most course creators get stuck). Dan shares a simple framework to help AI actually sound like you, plus practical examples of using AI inside your course experience to support students at a higher level, without turning your brand into “AI slop.” Watch the episode: https://youtu.be/inOBNS15RfQ Dan's Website: https://dancumberlandlabs.com/ Watch the Free Workshop: https://www.theonlinecourseguy.com/workshop Sign up for Jacques' Journal: https://www.theonlinecourseguy.com/Apply for Coaching: https://www.theonlinecourseguy.com/coachingFree Kajabi Course and 1 month Trial: http://everyclickkajabi.com/Free Skool Course and 14 day Trial: https://www.skool.com/refer?ref=c725cf8892fe42c8bb37dd7e5ffc2575Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theonlinecourseguy/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@theonlinecourseguyX: https://twitter.com/onlinecourseguy

The climb out of the lowest moments isn't clean or quick, and this conversation holds nothing back. A young airman who sprinted out of a rough home life, Brandon Held built a future through grit, service, and education. Then life took the legs out from under him. Losing his marriage. Losing daily life with his kids. Losing his career. Losing his footing. One night, he downed a bottle of sleeping pills and waited for the silence. Someone found him in time. That one act gave him a second chance he didn't think he deserved. Brandon opens up about how he rebuilt his mind, confidence, habits, and purpose. He talks through the years of suicidal ideation, how old patterns nearly destroyed him, and the moment he drew a line and chose to fight his way back.

There's a loneliness that comes with loss that's hard to describe until you've felt it. That moment when you realize the person you'd normally call isn't there to answer anymore. Tara Accardo knows this pain intimately. In December 2019, she lost her mom to cancer. Six months later, her dad. Then, her beloved dog of 19 years. Each loss compounding the one before, leaving her asking: "What am I going to do?" But this conversation isn't about finding silver linings or moving on. It's about the messy, visceral reality of grief—and the unexpected strength that emerges when you're forced to find your own way forward. Kate and Tara share openly about: The physical, gut-wrenching response to loss that catches you off guard Why grief is a tunnel, not a black hole (and why holding onto that truth matters) How to navigate people who mean well but can't hold space for your pain The strange, sacred empowerment of learning to trust yourself through the darkness Finding your people in a club no one wants to join If you've lost someone, if you're watching someone you love decline, or if you're simply terrified of the loss you know is coming—this episode will remind you that you're not alone in the dark.

After losing her leg to bone cancer, Glenda Standeven was shocked and hurt when she was laughed at for her appearance by two young kids during a hospital visit. After enduring the grueling loss of her leg, her first foray back into the public sphere was marked by mockery and embarrassment - but it also marked the beginning of her journey as an encourager and a motivational speaker. Today, Glenda is a certified reflexologist, author, and speaker. She is a four-time contributor to the popular Chicken Soup books, and shares some of the profound insights and lessons she has gleaned from surviving cancer and connecting with others through her story. “Your experiences in life, no matter how varied or difficult, will lead you to something that God has planned for you,” she says.TAKEAWAYSIt's critical that we teach our kids that it's okay to ask questions or to be curious about a disability - but it's never ok to mock someoneMany people give up when adversity strikesIt's okay to ask for help and to graciously accept it when people respondGlenda's memoir tells her story: I Am Choosing to Smile - The Inspirational Life Story of a Bone Cancer Survivor

I want to share a story that still hits close to home. There was a season where I was losing my house, cash was bleeding out fast, and my wife was eight months pregnant. I had bought course after course, tried to learn everything, and still wasn't doing the one thing that mattered most. Taking action.That pressure forced me to make a decision. I stopped trying to customize everything and finally committed to following a proven system exactly as it was laid out. No tweaking. No overthinking. Just doing the uncomfortable work. That shift changed everything.In this episode, I break down the five lessons that helped me turn things around and why having the right coach and actually listening to them can save you years of frustration. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you are doing all the right things with nothing to show for it, this conversation might be the wake-up call you need.What's Inside: —Why following instructions matters more than trying to be creative early on—How a coach saves time, money, and painful mistakes—The power of accountability and focused action—Borrowing confidence until you build your own
