What If Your Next Shot… Your Next Sale… Your Next Decision… Is the One That Changes Everything? Today I've got one of your all-time favorite guests back on the show, and there's a reason the downloads go through the roof every time he's here. When I sit down with Alan Stein Jr, you get value in every single minute. We're talking about mindset, emotional control, confidence, intensity, and what it really takes to separate yourself from the pack. Alan's new book, Next Play, isn't just about sports. It's about life. It's about what you do after you miss the shot, lose the sale, get knocked down, or make a mistake you wish you could take back. We unpack what Alan calls having a “whiteboard memory.” The great ones erase the miss and step into the next moment like it never happened. Think about that. How many of us drag the last mistake into the next opportunity? How many people let one bad quarter, one breakup, one failure define their identity? Alan and I talk about why attaching your self-worth to outcomes is a trap. Confidence is not built on results. It's built on process, preparation, keeping the promises you make to yourself, and mastering the fundamentals. That's where real separation happens. We also dive into one of the most powerful lessons I've ever heard about excellence. Alan shares the story of working with Kobe Bryant at 3:30 in the morning. Not flashy drills. Not tricks. Just relentless attention to the basics. Kobe told him, “I never get bored with the basics.” That line alone could change your life. The great ones do not skip steps. They do not get distracted by hype. They obsess over mastery. And they stack that obsession for years. That is how you create separation no one can catch. But this episode is not just about performance. It's about fulfillment. Alan challenges the idea that we should chase happiness. Happiness is fleeting. Fulfillment is built. It's built through resilience, emotional regulation, accountability, and learning how to move to the next play without becoming a victim of the last one. We talk about parenting, leadership, business, relationships, and what to do when you're flat on the canvas and need a way forward. If you're in a season where you need a reset, this conversation is your blueprint. I'll tell you this. The most powerful thing Alan said today is that your next play can be your best play. Not because the last one was perfect, but because you learned from it. Your mistakes are not your identity. They are part of your collage. And if you're willing to forgive yourself, adjust, and step forward with intention, your next 50 years can be your best 50 years. This one will hit you right between the eyes in the best way possible. Key Takeaways: Why you must separate your emotions from your performance How to build confidence through process instead of outcomes The power of mastering the basics and stacking consistency over time What to do when you've failed and need to create your next play Why fulfillment beats chasing happiness every time How accountability and emotional regulation shape leaders and families If you're ready to stop replaying the last mistake and start attacking the next opportunity, this episode is for you. Let's go make your next play your best one. Max Out.

This week's conversation feels especially important. I sat down with Gregg Braden, luminary, teacher, and dear friend, to explore where our world is headed and how to stay rooted in heart-led consciousness as everything accelerates around us. We talked about optimism and overwhelm in a world changing faster than ever. About discernment. About honoring what makes us deeply, beautifully human. Gregg reminds us that our divinity is not something to outsource or overlook. We are living at a turning point — and the choices we make now matter. This episode invites you to reflect: Are the tools you use affirming your divinity…or quietly replacing it? I would truly love to hear what this stirs in you. What feels empowering? What feels confronting? What feels newly possible? We are living through a defining moment in history and your awareness matters more than you know. I'm honored to walk this journey with you.   Takeaways We are living in a time where technology is increasingly integrated into our lives. Human divinity is defined as the ability to transcend perceived limitations. The chronic use of AI can diminish our creativity and cognitive abilities. It's essential to create benchmarks to assess whether technology affirms or denies our divinity. The distractions in our world are designed to keep us from recognizing our true potential. We are at a pivotal moment in history where our choices will shape the future of humanity. Honoring our humanness is crucial in the face of advancing technology. The existence of non-human intelligence has been part of our history and is becoming more acknowledged. The choices we make daily impact our sense of well-being and creativity. We must love ourselves enough to preserve our unique gifts and divinity.   About Gregg Braden Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, scientist and pioneer in the emerging paradigm bridging science, social policy and human potential. From 1979 to 1991, Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Martin Marietta (now Lockheed Martin) where he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer, and Cisco Systems, where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. He continues problem-solving today, and his research resulted in the 2003 discovery of intelligent information coded into the human genome and the 2010 application of fractal time to predict future occurrences of past events. Gregg's work has led to 18 film credits, 13 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages, and he was a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Prize established by Sir John Templeton to honor "outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality."

The MyPad CEO: David Green on Building Legacy Beyond BusinessIn this remarkable conversation, Hobby Lobby founder and CEO David Green sits down with host Justin Forman at the company's Oklahoma City headquarters to share the story behind one of America's most distinctive faith-driven businesses. From humble beginnings in a 600-square-foot store to leading an $8 billion enterprise with over 1,000 locations, David's journey reveals what happens when stewardship replaces ownership.At 84 years young, David still carries his trusty "MyPad" (a paper notepad) instead of a computer, operates as CEO, and shows no signs of slowing down. This episode explores the pivotal moments that shaped his understanding of true ownership, the Supreme Court case that tested his family's convictions, and the generational framework that ensures Hobby Lobby's mission extends far beyond profit.Key Topics:From pastor's son to retail pioneer: The journey from five-and-dime stores to Hobby LobbyThe Supreme Court case that cost $1.2 million per day—and why they'd do it againWhy closing on Sundays and rejecting Halloween cost millions but gained something greaterThe backyard prayer that changed everything: "What would you do if the Jones family owned it?"Building a family constitution: How 48 family members align around eternal valuesThe danger of generational wealth and why no Green family member gets anything they don't earnGiving half of all earnings away: The mathematics of trying to "out-give God"Legacy planning with a thousand-year horizonNotable Quotes:"God gave you everything you need, any good thing that's in your life. God gave you. I need to be at a point where I died of myself and said no, no, no, this is not mine. I'm a steward." - David Green"If you think it's yours, then you're gonna guide it. But if you really feel like God has given this to you to be a steward of what belongs to him, I think that's a good starting spot." - David Green"We want to make sure we're tied into someone's life for eternity, because they're gonna be very comfortable if they don't know Jesus." - David Green 

Today on Just Wondering with Norm Hitzges, Norm tackles three stories that couldn't be more different — but all revolve around one word: fairness.First, the NBA's double standard.Norm breaks down why tanking teams like the Utah Jazz are fined heavily for sitting players, while championship contenders routinely rest stars late in the season with zero consequences. Is there really a difference between protecting draft position and protecting playoff legs? Or does the league simply protect the powerful?Then Texas Rangers legend Eric Nadel joins the show to talk Rangers baseball — from the Mackenzie Gore acquisition to bullpen concerns, the departure of pitching coach Mike Maddux, and whether Seattle has officially replaced Houston as the team to beat in the American League West.Eric also discusses his 14th Annual Birthday Benefit at the Longhorn Ballroom, supporting the Grant Halliburton Foundation, and reflects on a broadcasting career that nearly became a law career instead.Finally, Norm closes with what may be the most bizarre Winter Olympic controversy in years — allegations that male ski jumpers are using hyaluronic acid injections to qualify for larger competition suits and gain aerodynamic advantage.Yes. That happened.It's sports integrity, roster construction, broadcasting nostalgia, and an Olympic scandal that makes your skin crawl — all in one episode. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – The NBA's tanking double standard02:35 – Utah fined $500,000 vs Indiana's $100,00004:49 – Why contenders rest stars without punishment05:47 – Sponsor: Bob's Steak & Chop House06:41 – Full Moon Healing Balm07:58 – Eric Nadel joins the show09:53 – Mackenzie Gore trade analysis10:51 – Rangers bullpen concerns14:14 – Is the lineup better this year?20:56 – Losing pitching coach Mike Maddux22:37 – Eric's Plan B: unhappy lawyer25:27 – Cuba travel challenges28:04 – Mel Allen, Marv Albert & career inspiration31:37 – Winter Olympic controversies34:10 – The ski jumping hyaluronic acid allegations36:44 – Final thoughtsCheck us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW Just Wondering is a long-form sports commentary podcast hosted by longtime broadcaster Norm Hitzges, offering thoughtful, numbers-driven analysis of the NFL, college sports, the NBA, and the business and culture surrounding them.

I spent months trying to save $100 a month. No joke. Instead of upgrading my course platform to access a feature I needed, I decided to “be smart” and build it myself on another platform. You can probably guess how that went… it sat on my to-do list for months while I tinkered, tested, and avoided paying for features I “didn't need.” In this episode, I'm breaking down the real cost of cheap… and why trying to save money in your business can actually be the most expensive decision you make.

How can two people watch the same video and reach completely opposite conclusions? Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein explore how propaganda, bias, and libertarian free will shape our interpretation of reality. Is cultural deception the result of manipulation — or are we freely choosing what to believe? In this episode, we unpack the war for the mind and why discernment matters. Scripture warns, "Who has bewitched you?" This episode examines that biblical warning and calls Christians to pursue what is objectively true through the renewing of the mind.

Send a textIn this powerful and unfiltered episode, Willie Rodriguez sits down with Paul Capote owner of PGL, better known as the "Miami Landscaper", for a real conversation about debt, discipline, faith, leadership, and the future of the green industry.Paul has been in the industry for 17 years, and he's still growing, still learning, and still refining. From surviving the COVID boom, to navigating heavy debt, vendor credit, and high-interest loans — this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build a landscaping company in today's Florida market.What We Cover:The Hard Years & The Reset 2023–2024 were tough. Cash flow pressure. Equipment debt. Vendor balances.2025 became the year of repair — clearing trucks, stepping away from vendor credit, tightening operations, and building a stronger foundation.Debt & Financial Accountability– Why high-interest loans should only be used strategically– The danger of promising too much– Why knowing your numbers protects your business– The truth about vendor debt in the industry (yes… SiteOne comes up)– Why Paul is officially “anti-check” and moving fully to ACHLocking in Product & Managing RiskWith Florida freezes, volatile pricing, and supply chain uncertainty, Paul breaks down what it actually means to guarantee pricing in today's environment.To lock in product means tying up capital, space, manpower, and deposits — sometimes increasing costs 25–40%.But for contractors who understand long-term vision?That $100K tied up today could unlock $4–6 million in opportunity tomorrow.The Silver Saw Palmetto example alone is worth the listen.Trust, Documentation & ProfessionalismHandshakes aren't enough anymore.Quotes must be documented.Verbal agreements create chaos.We talk about:– Why eye contact matters– Why documentation protects everyone– Why accountability scares people– How shadiness is hurting the industryRaising the Standard of Blue-Collar WorkPaul speaks passionately about elevating tradesmen:– Remove the word “laborer”– Use titles like Landscape Design Tech– Create pride in the craft– Implement SOPs and production bonuses– Build structure with AI systems like LanaQuality matters. Mulch glue matters. Details matter.“Put your name on it and make it perfect.”Faith, Growth & Breaking Generational CursesThis episode goes deeper than business.Paul opens up about:– Becoming a father– Bringing back his podcast “We the Tradesman”– Leading men's groups– Prioritizing faith over fear– Losing a $100K client and not being shaken– Choosing peace over money“Money is just money. Opportunity to do God's will is more powerful.”This is a conversation about becoming the kind of man — and business owner — who can handle what's coming next.

Anzalone, Reader Hit Free Agency; No Tag Coming The contracts for Alex Anzalone and DJ Reader have officially expired. The Detroit Lions are not expected to use the franchise tag on either veteran. This was anticipated. Both players are over 30 and not part of the long term plan. That does not close the door on a return for Anzalone. It simply puts both into the open market. This is routine in the NFL. On the Detroit Lions Podcast, the message was direct. Do not confuse an expired deal with a cut. The Lions did not release Anzalone or Reader. Their contracts ended on the league calendar. You cannot trade expired contracts. They are not on the roster today. Free Agents Are Off the Roster Until They Re-Sign The guidance was practical. Treat unrestricted free agents as off the roster until a new deal is signed. Build your mental depth chart around who is under contract. That includes names like Robertson and Khalif Raymond. They are not Detroit Lions right now. They can return if the sides agree. There is nothing wrong with wanting them back. Just do not plan around it until ink meets paper. The weekend brought noisy headlines. Many framed it as the Lions parting ways. That misreads the process. Free agency is a timeline, not a rupture. Contracts expire. Teams and players reassess. Decisions follow. What Anzalone Gave Detroit and Who Replaces Him Anzalone delivered real value. He arrived from the Saints with injury concerns and rebuilt his stock. He became a leader in the huddle. He handled coverage duties at a reliable level. He even played through setbacks, including a broken forearm in 2024. Jack Campbell is an All Pro. Anzalone is still the better coverage linebacker right now. That is a specific role the Lions must replace if he departs. The answer might not be on the current roster. Detroit must plan for that coverage snap volume. It is not just tackles and blitzes. It is spacing, leverage, and range. Losing that skill set changes how the second level plays. Cap Priorities Shape the Next Moves The Lions operate in a new salary cap reality. Even with a cap bump, every dollar has a path. A Jared Goff restructure is possible, but the future cash points to the core. Think Sam LaPorta. Think Jameer Gibbs. Think Brian Branch. Younger players will command raises. That priority drives today's restraint with veterans over 30. Anzalone wants to stay. If all things are equal, a reunion makes sense. All things rarely are. Detroit will weigh price, role, and timing. Reader's future follows the same logic. The board is set. Now the market speaks. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflfreeagency #franchisetag #alexanzalone #djreader #coveragelinebacker #jackcampbell #jaredgoffrestructure #samlaporta #jameergibbs #brianbranch #khalifraymond #robertson #unrestrictedfreeagent #salarycappriorities Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you ever feel like your emotional state rises and falls with how your kids are doing? When they're happy, you feel okay. When they struggle, you panic. When they mess up, you feel like you failed. Maybe you're constantly worried about their future. Maybe their behavior feels like a reflection of you. Maybe your peace depends on whether or not they're okay. In today's episode, we continue our series on the sneaky things that steal our joy by talking about one of the most tender and dangerous idols for moms: the idol of our kids. Not loving them. Not caring deeply. Not wanting what's best for them. But placing our identity, security, and worth in how they turn out. We talk about how this shows up when: • You feel responsible for your child's emotions • You fear their mistakes more than you trust God • You define your success by their behavior • You try to control outcomes instead of steward hearts • You lose yourself in motherhood This episode will help you: • Recognize where fear is driving your parenting • Understand why control feels loving but isn't • See how making kids the center creates pressure instead of safety • Learn how to release your child back to God • Begin parenting from trust instead of anxiety If you've been feeling overwhelmed by your child's choices, behavior, or future — this episode will help you see what's really happening underneath it. Your child was never meant to be your source of peace. God is. And when you let Him be, both you and your child can breathe again. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

Dmitri Mehlhorn returns to The Great Battlefield podcast to talk about why he thinks the fight against fascism is over and co-founding the Atoll Society, where they hope to rally reason, law and human dignity in the face of rising authoritarianism.

If you've ever looked at your partner in the parenting trenches and thought, “Wait… who are you—and what happened to us?” this episode is for you. Dr. John sits down with Eli Weinstein—therapist, no-BS truth-teller, and author of From I Do to We Do (out March 2026)—to unpack why couples drift after kids… and how to rebuild the “we” without buraning the whole house down. You'll hear the real stuff:  why new dads can love their kids but not always like them (and why that doesn't make you a monster),  how men get trapped between “be strong” and “be emotional,”  and what happens when a partner asks for feelings… then punishes vulnerability.  John and Eli also dig into the heavy reality therapists carry—especially with suicidal clients—and the skill of caring deeply without being crushed by it. The practical gold is Eli's “holy trinity” for relationship peace: expectations, perceptions, and reality—plus a simple daily check-in that prevents 90% of avoidable fights (Listen to discover this cheat code!). Add in “assume positive intent,” “treasure hunt” for what your partner does right, and a mindset shift toward rewarding effort over outcome—and you've got a blueprint for staying connected when life is chaos. Want a Higher Baseline of Calm, Confidence, and Control?

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I found myself confronting a question that hits all of us more often than we want to admit. Do I really have to do this again. Another video. Another appointment. Another conversation. Another challenge. What I realized, and what I wanted to share, is how easy it is to let the very blessings we once prayed for turn into chores in our minds. That shift is dangerous because it slowly erodes our gratitude, our excitement, and eventually our momentum. I see this play out in business and in life. We convince ourselves that we are stuck, that nothing is changing, that the problems we face today are the same ones we will deal with forever. We start time traveling into the future and magnifying the discomfort of repeating challenges. But when we slow down and take an honest look, the truth is that we are growing. We are becoming more efficient, more skilled, and more capable. The only thing holding us back is the story we keep telling ourselves. I had to be intentional about my own mindset. Positivity does not just show up for me. I have to remind myself to smile more, to enjoy what I have built, and to stop wearing seriousness like it is a badge of honor. Discipline matters, strategy matters, but so does joy. If I do not enjoy my life while I am building it, then I am missing the point. I want to focus on the vision, not just the tasks, and battle negative thoughts with something bigger than the problem in front of me. This became even clearer through watching my daughter step into discomfort. She recently went on her first mission trip to Mexico, despite being afraid that she did not speak the language well enough or know the culture well enough. The fear of embarrassment almost kept her from going at all. That fear is the same fear business owners feel when stepping into higher price points, bigger clients, or unfamiliar opportunities. Once she went, everything changed. She connected, she figured it out, and she came back confident, excited, and ready to go again. The growth was always there. She just needed to step into it. That is what I see happening with so many of you. You say you are not moving fast enough, but the reality is you are not making the decisions you already know you need to make. Hiring help. Raising your standards. Taking risks that align with the bigger vision. The problem is not speed. The problem is hesitation. Once the decision is made, momentum follows, just like it did for my daughter. I want fulfillment, not temporary happiness or avoidance of pain. Fulfillment comes from action, discipline, and alignment with a greater mission. It means understanding that bigger goals bring bigger demands, fears, and sleepless nights, and choosing to show up anyway. When we magnify action, minimize problems, and break through ceilings, the excitement returns. We stop seeing our work as chores and start seeing it as proof that we are building something meaningful. If you feel stuck, it is not because you are behind. It is because you are focusing on the wrong thing. You have been here before. You have figured things out before. And you will do it again, as long as you are willing to step forward instead of waiting for fear to quiet down. Reader reflection questions Where in your life have blessings started to feel like burdens, and how can you reframe them today What decision have you been avoiding that you already know aligns with your bigger vision How would your business or life change if you focused more on action and less on proving why something might not work Notable quotes The same blessings that we prayed for can turn into chores if we are not intentional about our mindset The problem is not that you are moving too slow, the problem is that you are not moving at all Fulfillment comes when we magnify action, minimize problems, and break through ceilings   Follow A.Z.

In this episode of the Private Practice Elevation Podcast, we explore how AI tools—especially chatbots and AI receptionists—can transform your private practice's intake process. You'll hear from Uriah Guilford, founder of Productive Therapist and creator of Simple Intake, about how therapists can use these tools to respond faster to inquiries, improve the client experience, and book more consultations—all while keeping a personal feel.Many therapy practices struggle to follow up quickly with new inquiries. Whether it's clunky forms, delayed responses, or confusing booking steps, these bottlenecks can cause practices to lose clients. AI intake systems aim to close the gap between first contact and first session, so potential clients don't fall through the cracks.Now, you might think adding AI to your practice means replacing the human experience. But this episode shows that when used right, AI doesn't replace your team—it enhances them. These tools can screen inquiries, book appointments, and answer FAQs in a warm, conversational way, leaving your human team to focus on care.Read the full show notes: privatepracticeelevation.com/200Other Key Takeaways:The first practice to respond to an inquiry usually wins the clientAI chatbots can pull from your website and FAQs to provide accurate answersSimple Intake combines chatbot, receptionist, calendar booking, and CRM toolsClients can connect via web chat, phone, SMS, or WhatsAppThe system logs conversations, tracks sentiment, and allows for real-time handoff to human staffIt's designed to assist, not replace, your admin teamData shows many clients prefer quick answers over waiting for a call backLinks mentioned in this episode:Productive TherapistSimple IntakeTest a chatbot: Intune Family CounselingPrivate Practice Elevation SEO ServicesThis Episode Is Brought To You ByRevKey specializes in Google Ads management for therapists, expertly connecting you with your ideal clients.

Have you ever followed a meal plan, lost weight… and then gained it back again? So many Christian women aren't asking how to plan — they're asking: “What happens when I mess it up again?” Because most of us have followed a weight loss plan, struggled with emotional eating, regained the weight, and then judged ourselves or disconnected from our eating habits altogether. In this Christian weight loss podcast episode, we talk about why overeating often leads to shame, disconnection, and starting over — and how Scripture offers a different response. Through the lens of Leviticus, we explore how God created pathways for His people to return to closeness with Him after failure — and what that means for your meal planning protocol today. FREE CLASS If you've struggled with sticking to a plan and then disconnecting when you don't… Join my free Stop Overeating Class this Thursday, where I teach: why we overeat how to create a peaceful protocol how to return without judgment and how to follow through without relying on willpower

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021626.cfmFather Chris Alar, MIC, reminds us of a truth the world constantly tries to obscure: Your soul is immortal — and it matters more than anything you own, achieve, or experience in this life. Jesus asks a question that cuts through every distraction: “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?”We spend enormous energy protecting our bodies, careers, reputations, and comfort. But how attentive are we to the state of our soul? Physical suffering, financial loss, or public misunderstanding may wound us temporarily. Mortal sin wounds eternally. And yet, in His mercy, Christ never leaves us without remedy.Through Confession, the Eucharist, and Eucharistic Adoration, the Divine Physician continues to pour out the same healing grace that flowed from His pierced Heart. No sin is too great for His mercy. The only true tragedy is refusing the grace that is offered.Father Chris challenges us not to live casually, but consciously — aware that eternity is not abstract. It is approaching. The saints understand this. They live with urgency, not anxiety; conviction, not fear of creatures. They knew that losing everything in this world is survivable. Losing your soul is not.Run to mercy. Stay in the state of grace. Nourish your soul. And remember: The Lord desires your salvation even more than you do. ★ Support this podcast ★

If you're struggling to take a break, you're not alone. In this episode, I explain why it's okay (and necessary!) to take breaks or make a shift, even from work you love, and how pushing nonstop leads to exhaustion, burnout, and harm to your business and clients.  Many service-based business owners fear that slowing down means business will slow down, but there's a better way to manage that.

In this episode, AJ reframes meeting recordings as a serious leadership asset for modern People organizations, not surveillance, not compliance theater, and not a “gotcha” mechanism. When used with integrity, recording becomes institutional memory: a durable system that protects context, accelerates decision-making, and reduces the costly churn of re-litigating the same priorities quarter after quarter.For global HR leaders navigating scale, complexity, and constant change, the real risk isn't transparency; it's lost intelligence. AJ explores how teams quietly forfeit compounding insight when strategic conversations aren't captured and analyzed: the patterns behind misalignment, the early signals of resistance, the recurring operational blockers, and the “small idea behind the big idea” that can unlock faster execution and measurable business lift.This conversation goes beyond note-taking. It's about using transcripts as structured data, then applying AI to synthesize trends across critical meetings (executive decisions, workforce strategy, revenue reviews, product shifts, cross-functional handoffs) so leaders can see what's emerging, what's repeating, and what needs action. The outcome: fewer blind spots, stronger alignment, and a more resilient operating rhythm for the enterprise.If you're leading People at scale and want a sharper way to capture truth, protect momentum, and convert conversations into progress, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Beyond Coaching, Rob sits down with Russell Smelley—NAIA Hall of Fame coach, longtime Westmont College faculty member and coach, and one of the most thoughtful voices in collegiate coaching—to explore what it really means to coach people, not just train athletes.Russell shares stories from nearly five decades in coaching, including his journey from proving himself through wins to measuring success by trust, character, and long-term impact. This conversation cuts straight to the heart of the profession: identity, psychological safety, competition, and the quiet work of shaping people who thrive well beyond sport.This is a grounded, honest discussion for coaches who want to win and lead with integrity.Key Themes & TakeawaysTraining vs. Coaching: Why developing people must take precedence over chasing results—and how the best coaches do both.Psychological Safety (Done Right): Safety doesn't mean low standards. It means accountability without fear.Evaluate, Don't Critique: How post-competition language shapes trust, learning, and long-term growth.Competing in the Context of Relationship: Why opponents aren't enemies—and how respect fuels healthier competition.Focus vs. Obsession: Where intensity helps and where it becomes destructive for athletes and coaches alike.Winning Isn't Enough: Russell reflects on when he realized success had to be defined by more than outcomes.Mentorship & Patience: Why some lessons take years to land—and why that's okay.Advice to Young Coaches: “Say no more often. Be clear. Get a mentor. Don't vacillate.”Memorable Quotes“The coaching part says my ego takes second place to wins and losses.”“Evaluate, don't critique.”“Psychological safety isn't avoiding hard things—it's opening the door to more responsibility.”“Your opponent is not your enemy. They're there to help you get better.”About the GuestRussell Smelley is a longtime cross country and track & field coach at Westmont College, a multiple-time conference Coach of the Year, and an NAIA Hall of Fame inductee.

In this special series, Max shares why we're hosting and preserving the Unbounded archive at Ungovernable Misfits. In the third re-release of the series, Seth For Privacy — educator, builder and VP at Cake Wallet joins TBD. Seth brings a candid, practical nuance to the state of Bitcoin and Monero, the realities of social media and education, and what “good enough privacy” means for everyday people versus targeted dissidents. Seth and TBD dig into saving in Bitcoin, spending in Monero, the impact of the Samourai Wallet case, why PayJoin V2 and silent payments matter, and how adoption—not tribalism—will determine the future of digital sovereignty. Seth shares a pragmatic optimism: we're winning in usability and tooling, but only if we keep building, learning and refusing false binaries. We explore the current crossroads for Bitcoin privacy, the legal chill from Tornado Cash/Samourai prosecutions, Nostr versus X for reach, and Monero's resilience amid delistings. Seth outlines practical advice for non-technical users, red lines for builders, and his long-view goal: tools that let individuals opt out of broken systems and into freedom—no permission required.

Parenting isn't about control — it's about leadership. And for single parents carrying the weight of structure, discipline, and emotional stability alone, that distinction matters more than ever.In this episode of Single Parent Success Stories, Irina Shehovsov sits down with Marine officer, author, and leadership expert OlaOlu Ogunyemi to explore how military leadership principles can transform the way we parent — without yelling, shaming, or power struggles.OlaOlu shares how discipline and emotional intelligence can coexist, why authority doesn't require intimidation, and how parents can lead their families with strength and compassion at the same time. Together, they unpack the difference between bossing and leading, how structure creates safety for children, and why calm consistency is more powerful than reactive control.This episode is especially for single parents who:• Feel exhausted from repeating themselves• Struggle with yelling or emotional outbursts• Want to raise resilient, confident children• Crave structure without becoming rigid• Are navigating parenting after divorce or separationIn this conversation, you'll learn:• Why yelling weakens leadership (even when it “works”)• How to discipline without fear-based tactics• The connection between emotional regulation and authority• How military leadership translates to family life• Practical ways to create respect without power struggles• Why leadership begins with modeling emotional controlIf you've ever wondered whether you can be both strong and soft, structured and compassionate — this episode offers a new lens.You don't have to parent from survival mode. You can lead your family with clarity, calm, and confidence.

What happens when you stop making plans—and start listening?In this powerful episode of Intuitive Wisdom, I am joined by Beth Green, an 80-year-old activist, spiritual teacher, and intuitive guide who lives what she calls the path of unknowing. Beth shares what it means to trust Spirit explicitly, even when the path is uncomfortable or unclear.Beth spent over 45 years on the front lines of political resistance—tracked by the FBI at age 12, arrested multiple times, and serving as the West Coast Coordinator of the Wages for Housework Campaign. Over time, her work shifted inward, revealing a profound truth: real transformation doesn't come from fighting the world—it begins with awakening within it.In this episode, we explore:·       How conditioning and rigid beliefs disconnect us from guidance·       The birth of the ego—and how it turns us against ourselves·       Why practice, self-honesty, and alignment matter more than certainty·       The courage it takes to choose truth over approval·       Losing half her clients after publishing Sacred Healing Union of God·       Walking the path of not knowing while staying deeply connectedThis conversation is for anyone willing to look at the truth, hold beliefs lightly, and choose alignment over fear.Connect with Beth Website: https://thestream.info/nextsteps/  Resources & Links:
