Ken Berenger has lost everything… twice. And each time, he found a way to rebuild not only his career and finances, but also his understanding of success, purpose, faith, and who he wanted to become. In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Dan and Ken explore the experiences that shaped Ken's extraordinary resilience. Ken shares how a young singer with a mullet unexpectedly found himself on Wall Street, how financial success became intertwined with his identity and self-worth, and what happened when that success disappeared. Ken also opens up about the profound influence of his father, a hardworking ironworker who taught him lessons about family, contentment, character, and what it really means to be successful. He shares the emotional story of performing CPR on his father and receiving five more years with him before his recent passing. Through financial collapse, divorce, Superstorm Sandy, career reinvention, and the difficult work of rebuilding, Ken developed a simple practice: keep showing up. Prayer, gratitude, physical discipline, humility, and faith became anchors when he couldn't see what was coming next. Dr. Dan and Ken also discuss the danger of tying self-worth to productivity, why receiving help can sometimes be harder than giving it, the importance of having a few people who genuinely want to know how you're doing, and how adversity can eventually become one of life's greatest teachers. Ken's story is a powerful reminder that resilience doesn't mean having all the answers. Sometimes it simply means refusing to quit, staying open to what life is trying to show you, and trusting that your worst moment does not define your life. Your self-worth is bigger than your productivity. Success, income, titles, and accomplishments can disappear. Who you are does not have to disappear with them. Resilience is built by continuing to show up. You don't always need to know how everything will work out. Sometimes the next right step is simply getting through today and doing it again tomorrow. Adversity can become an opportunity for growth. Ken believes some of the greatest gifts in his life came from experiences he never would have chosen for himself. Receiving is part of strength. Allowing someone else to help you can require tremendous humility, but accepting love and support can also transform relationships. Notice the grace in ordinary moments. Growth and self-awareness help us recognize the small moments of beauty, connection, and gratitude that were there all along.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Blake Mycoskie founded TOMS Shoes in 2006 after a trip to Argentina, where he saw children without shoes and built a company around giving away a pair for every pair sold. TOMS went on to donate more than 100 million pairs of shoes and became one of the most copied business models in the world. What most people don't know is what happened after he sold it, and I'm grateful that he was open to talking about that on this episode of The Learning Leader Show. Key Learnings Make your gratitude specific. Not "I'm grateful for my family." Name the exact thing. Blake's example from that morning: the photos the camp posted of his daughter laughing in the lake, and knowing his stoic kid does not smile like that unless she is genuinely happy. He kept the practice going for five years when he couldn't feel any of it. Blake could not name five things he was grateful for, and he had all the same things in his life he has now. He did it anyway. He credits it as one of the things that kept him going. Surfing is a great thinking practice. Surfing is mostly just sitting on the board. Three hours in the water, ten waves, maybe five minutes standing. The rest is paddling and sitting. That's why it works as a thinking practice. Capture the idea in the moment or lose it. Blake programmed the side button on his Apple Watch to open a voice memo. Every idea he has sitting on the board, he records. They're all waiting when he gets out. He hit every marker and still felt worthless. "I did everything, and I still, deep down in my soul, had this feeling like I'm not worthy, I'm not enough, and I never will be." The external validation was the drug. Selling TOMS cut off the supply. The thing that had been holding up his sense of self was suddenly gone. If you get there and it's empty, don't panic. Panicking is what Blake did, and having money meant he could make expensive mistakes fast. Build the dream house. Get divorced. One thing after another. The emptiness may be the point. Blake's read on it: if achievement delivered what society promises, you'd never go inward. Feeling hollow at the summit is what forces the inner work. He re-patterned the sentence he'd been telling himself since childhood. The old one was "you're not enough." He replaced it with "I am enough. I've always been enough." Twenty minutes every morning and every evening. Forty straight days. It worked, and he no longer needs to do it daily. Sometimes you just need a physical cue to catch the loop. That's the whole idea behind the bracelet he wears. Not magic. A reminder on your wrist that interrupts the thought. Give the second one away. Blake found the bracelet's real power was handing one to a friend. Now you're both wearing it, you're both in on it, and there's an unspoken agreement that neither of you has to have a bad day alone. Men are worse at building that than women are. Tell your kids they're enough, and keep telling them. They're going to get the opposite message from everywhere else, which is exactly why it has to come from you repeatedly. Blake says the relaxation you'll see in them is immediate. Be brutally honest about how hard the job is. Try to talk them out of it. Blake is the last interview in the process now. If he can lay out every negative and they still desperately want it, the commitment is real. "How many people did you convince not to take the role before you got the right person?" Most leaders slip into sales mode, talk the candidate into it, and end up talking themselves into the candidate. What he screens for during the interview process: Integrity first. If it isn't there, it surfaces fast now. Attitude second. The person who never says "that's not my job." Whether they're building a resume or joining a movement. Find the people who cover what you're bad at. Blake is a storyteller, a vision-sharer, and high energy. He is not a supply chain guy, not a finance guy, and he has trouble saying no. So he hired around it. That's what let him actually be the chief shoe giver instead of pretending to be a CEO. Don't wait for permission. Most people stand in line at the front door. Blake looks for side doors. In Argentina he had no investors and no plan, just an idea and the words One For One. Ryan's version for his kids: everyone can apply online. Drive to the restaurant and go talk to the manager instead. Having no experience was the advantage. He'd never made a shoe, so he didn't know which rules he was breaking. Same with outdoor advertising. Same with driver's ed. He learned it from Richard Branson: ask forgiveness, not permission. Nashville wouldn't allow advertising, so he sold art instead. Blake spent two years with the city council and got there by removing the ad from the ad. No price, no call to action. Just album covers on the sides of buildings, called country music art. Once one artist had one, they all wanted one. He sold the company to Clear Channel. You don't attract what you want. You attract what you are. Want honest friends, be honest. Want peace at home, bring peace. Want trust, practice it when nobody's watching. Blake applies it to customers too: sloppy companies attract sloppy customers, and that's usually the real reason the business fails. Charlie Munger got asked how to get a great wife. He said: deserve one. Be known for doing what you said you'd do. Early on Blake didn't have the skills, so he built the reputation on execution instead. Move fast, keep it simple, do it with integrity. Momentum is a form of trust. The other half of that is not overpromising. Blake's own failure mode is getting excited, feeling falsely confident, promising something big, and missing. When it happens, own it fast and be honest, and the relationship usually survives. Be careful using a general-purpose chatbot as a therapist. Blake's warning, and the reason the founders of Sonia built a purpose-built tool instead: the big consumer models are designed to make you feel good about yourself. If you need to hear something hard, that's the last thing you want. He went from skeptic to advisor in six months. Blake met the Sonia founders at a mental health conference, tried the app to be polite, and by the third session was getting insights he hadn't gotten elsewhere. He now spends five to ten hours a week helping them. His reason for loving the work: "Now I get to be the coach instead of the athlete." Stop chasing balance. Design for harmony. Blake picked this up from an executive at Cannes who said she'd given up on balance. He goes hard in phases. Full dad mode with the office waiting on emails. Then all in on a launch and missing things at home. The measure isn't evenly split day to day. It's whether, over a year, everyone in his life feels like they got what they needed to thrive. Including him. Reflection Questions What did you actually feel grateful for today? Not the category. The specific moment. What is the sentence you've been repeating to yourself since childhood, and is it true? In your last hire, how hard did you try to talk them out of it? Or did you spend the interview selling them, and then sell yourself? More Learning #598: Sam Parr - Bold. Fast. Fun.

A new survey reveals just how far owners are willing to go to protect their pets, including making sacrifices in their own spending and making long-term plans for their animals.

Adversity has a way of stripping away the masks, excuses, and illusions we carry and revealing what truly matters. In this episode, Dr. Dan speaks with leadership catalyst, bestselling author, speaker, U.S. Army veteran, and lifelong martial artist Marcus Aurelius Anderson about transforming adversity from something we simply endure into something we can use. While preparing to deploy with the U.S. Army, Marcus suffered a catastrophic spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He flatlined twice during surgery and was told he would likely never walk or use his hands again. What followed was an intense period of anger, grief, depression, and ultimately radical acceptance that fundamentally changed how Marcus viewed his life. Marcus shares how focusing on his breath gave him something he could control, how gratitude began to replace anger, and how recognizing that his injury may have prevented others from being harmed became a turning point in his recovery. Dr. Dan and Marcus explore the difference between knowing and doing, and why knowledge and potential mean little without consistent action. Marcus explains the philosophy behind Acta Non Verba… actions, not words… and why waiting for the perfect time can keep us from becoming who we are capable of becoming. They also discuss authenticity in an increasingly artificial world, the role of compassion and pragmatic empathy in leadership, and why self-awareness starts with being willing to look honestly at our own imperfections. Marcus invites listeners to notice the difference between everyday frustrations and life's deeper challenges. Instead of reacting to every inconvenience as if it's a crisis, he encourages us to meet real adversity with curiosity and presence. Rather than resisting what's hard, we can ask what it's here to teach us and allow those experiences to shape who we're becoming. This conversation is a reminder that adversity does not have to define us or defeat us. With courage, gratitude, self-awareness, and action, friction can become traction and some of life's hardest experiences can become catalysts for purpose, growth, leadership, and deeper connection. Key Takeaways Adversity reveals what matters. Marcus believes adversity doesn't tell us who we are—it strips away what we are not, forcing us to confront ourselves without the masks and illusions. Potential without action means very little. Knowledge, wisdom, plans, and intentions only become meaningful when we consistently put them into practice. Focus on what you can control. Marcus identifies three things within our control: our thoughts, our beliefs, and our actions. Gratitude can change our relationship with adversity. Radical acceptance and genuine gratitude helped Marcus shift from anger toward possibility during his recovery. Turn friction into traction. The very thing creating discomfort can become something we use to step up, grow, and move to the next level. Authenticity is powerful leadership. Real connection requires self-awareness, compassion, honesty, and the courage to tell people what they need to hear. Stop waiting to live your mission. There may never be a perfect time. Marcus challenges listeners to stop circling what they know they need to face and begin acting now.

Profound loss can break us… but it can also awaken a purpose powerful enough to transform our lives and the lives of others. Certified wellness coach and holistic mental health advocate Miriam Putnam joins Dr. Dan for a deeply personal conversation about resilience, stress, self-advocacy, and caring for the whole person: body, mind, and soul. Drawing from her family's pioneering legacy and her painful experience of losing her mother after years of mental health struggles, Miriam explains how she turned heartbreak into a mission to help others find clarity, balance, and greater freedom from stress. Miriam comes from a family connected to the legacies of Crayola Crayons, Putnam Publishing, and aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart. Growing up surrounded by stories of innovation and courage taught her to challenge the status quo… but personal tragedy taught her that wealth, influence, and access do not guarantee happiness or wellbeing. Miriam shares how her mother's experiences with mental health treatment inspired more than 25 years of advocacy and exploration into holistic wellness. She and Dr. Dan discuss the importance of asking questions, listening to the body, investigating potential physical contributors to emotional distress, and becoming an active participant in your own care. The conversation also explores Miriam's approach to reducing stress by identifying its roots rather than simply managing its symptoms. She introduces the concept of “soul health,” explains how boundaries protect our emotional energy, and demonstrates her Mind Muscle Exercise, a practical technique that uses the senses to reconnect with a positive memory and shift your emotional state. This episode is an inspiring reminder that meaningful change begins with self-awareness, courage, and the willingness to consider new possibilities. How Miriam transformed personal loss into purpose and advocacy. Why physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness should be considered together. How stress may reveal itself through disrupted sleep, irritability, disconnection, and strained relationships. Why asking questions and advocating for yourself are essential parts of navigating healthcare. How healthy boundaries help protect and replenish your emotional energy. Why living in alignment with your purpose supports “soul health.” How to use a positive memory to exercise your “mind muscle” and interrupt a stressful thought pattern. 1. Resilience is developed through adversity.Resilience does not mean avoiding painful experiences. It means finding the inner strength, support, and determination to move through them and continue building a meaningful life. 2. Look beneath the symptoms.Stress and emotional distress can have multiple contributing factors. Miriam encourages people to work with qualified professionals, ask questions, and consider their physical health alongside their mental and emotional wellbeing. 3. Pay attention to your early warning signs.Changes in sleep, a shorter temper, increasing anxiety, strained relationships, and feeling disconnected from yourself may signal that stress is beginning to overwhelm your current coping resources. 4. Protect and intentionally replenish your energy.Healthy boundaries are not about blaming or rejecting others. They are about recognizing your agency, limiting harmful patterns, and scheduling activities that restore your energy and sense of connection. 5. Strengthen your “mind muscle.”Choose a genuinely happy memory and bring it back to life through sensory details. Recall what you saw, heard, smelled, felt, and experienced emotionally. Practicing this regularly can help redirect your attention and reconnect you with calm, gratitude, and hope. For more information visit MiriamPutnam.org and follow @miriam_putnam_ on Instagram.

What if the goal today isn't to make your life extraordinary?What if it's to learn how to see the extraordinary gift hidden inside the ordinary?In this reflection on Psalm 104, John Ortberg explores how modern life has changed the way we see the world around us. We know more than ever about how nature works, yet we may have lost something along the way: our ability to experience creation as filled with meaning, wonder, and the presence of God.Drawing on Charles Taylor and Dallas Willard, John invites us to recover the eyes of "saints, poets, and artists" and rediscover what Willard called "the well-kept secret of the ordinary."Birds sing.Trees grow.Wild animals drink.Leviathan frolics.People go to work.And apparently God really likes hyraxes.Psalm 104 invites us to look again and recognize that ordinary creation is overflowing with the generosity, creativity, and goodness of God.In this episode:Psalm 104 and the wonder of creationCharles Taylor and the "immanent frame"Recovering the enchantment of realityDallas Willard and the secret of ordinary lifeWhy God made the hyraxSeeing creation as more than something to useThe love-letter analogyReceiving your life as a giftFinding God in everyday momentsScriptures:Psalm 104Genesis 1:26–27#Psalm104 #JohnOrtberg #DallasWillard #CharlesTaylor #Psalms #Creation #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Wonder

Success can look complete on the outside and still feel painfully empty within. Tom Cronin spent years immersed in the high-pressure world of finance, surrounded by money, achievement, pleasure, and external validation. Beneath that success, however, he was struggling with severe anxiety, depression, substance use, and a growing sense that his life was moving further away from who he truly was. In this episode, Tom joins Dr. Dan to share how a personal crisis led him to meditation… and how stillness transformed his relationship with fulfillment, adversity, and himself. Tom is a meditation teacher, transformation coach, author, and the writer and producer of The Portal, a documentary following six people who discover healing and transformation through meditation. He explains why a crisis can become an opportunity for growth, why external achievements rarely create lasting contentment, and how meditation helps us access the peace that already exists within us. Tom and Dr. Dan also explore the difference between taking action for fulfillment and acting from fulfillment. They discuss the higher self, the importance of experiencing emotions rather than avoiding them, and how greater self-awareness can create more compassionate families, communities, and leaders. Crisis can become a catalyst for growth. Painful experiences may create opportunities for greater awareness, healing, and personal evolution. External success cannot guarantee inner fulfillment. Money, recognition, possessions, and achievement may provide temporary pleasure, but they rarely create lasting peace. Meditation helps us act from fulfillment. When our actions begin from peace and wholeness, we become less dependent on outcomes to determine how we feel. Difficult emotions are part of being human. Rather than numbing, avoiding, or spiritually bypassing uncomfortable feelings, we can learn to witness and experience them with awareness. Going inward strengthens our connection to others. Recognizing our shared humanity can inspire greater compassion, kindness, leadership, and care for the world around us. Small commitments to stillness can create meaningful change. Two 20-minute meditation sessions can begin shifting how we respond to stress, uncertainty, and daily life. For more information visit TomCronin.com and follow @tomcronin on Instagram.

Discover why Amazon reached $3 trillion market capitalization after Amazon demonstrated that AI demand remains far stronger than expected and announced it will increase capital spending to $220 billion this year to expand computing capacity. The AI investment cycle is accelerating across the technology industry. Amazon's willingness to invest over $220 billion—and its assertion that demand still exceeds supply—suggests businesses worldwide are only in the early stages of AI adoption. For long-term investors, the biggest opportunities may extend beyond AI software to the companies building the infrastructure that powers the entire ecosystem. Disclosure: I am invested in Amazon.

Discover the latest economic update. Second-quarter GDP grew at a slower-than-expected annual rate of 1.5%, but much of the weakness came from temporary factors like lower inventories and reduced government spending rather than a broad slowdown in the private economy. Consumer spending remained strong, inflation continued to ease on a monthly basis, and private-sector demand was robust. While the Federal Reserve is still waiting for inflation to move closer to its 2% target before cutting rates, the underlying economic picture remains healthier than the headline GDP number suggests. Key Takeaways GDP grew 1.5% in the second quarter, below expectations. Consumer spending accelerated to 2.1%, showing continued economic resilience. Final sales to private domestic purchasers rose a strong 3.9%, highlighting solid underlying demand. Core PCE inflation eased to 0.1% for the month but remains 3.3% year-over-year, above the Fed's target. The Fed is likely to remain patient on interest rates until inflation shows more sustained improvement. The personal savings rate fell to 2.7%, its lowest level in four years, suggesting consumers are relying more on savings to maintain spending. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?

Life rarely unfolds according to plan… and Kevin Michael Kirwan believes that may be one of its greatest gifts. In this episode of Make It a Great One with Dr. Dan, Dr. Dan welcomes writer and debut novelist Kevin Michael Kirwan for an inspiring conversation about purpose, authenticity, creativity, family, and the courage to follow an unexpected path. Kevin's life has included delivering pizzas, playing music, flying helicopters, owning an aviation company, returning to college in his 50s, earning a master's degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University, becoming a teacher, and writing his debut novel, The Existential Awakening of One Particular Mexican Girl. Rather than following a carefully constructed plan, Kevin has repeatedly allowed curiosity, instinct, and life's unexpected turns to guide him. Kevin and Dr. Dan explore how rigid expectations can limit growth, why creativity requires us to silence our inner critic, and how failure becomes valuable when we are willing to take meaningful risks. Kevin also shares how becoming a husband and father transformed his priorities and helped him discover the fulfillment that comes from serving something greater than himself. This conversation is a powerful reminder that there is no universal timeline for education, relationships, parenthood, success, or personal growth. A meaningful life is not built by meeting everyone else's expectations. It is built by listening inward, remaining open to possibility, and having the courage to become who you truly are. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN Why purpose often reveals itself through experience rather than planning How releasing control creates space for inspiration and creativity Why Kevin returned to college in his 50s and how education changed his self-perception How reading with his father shaped Kevin's worldview and writing voice Why societal timelines should not determine our most important life choices How marriage, fatherhood, and family transformed Kevin's priorities Why authenticity requires letting go of other people's expectations How failure becomes an essential part of courage, creativity, and growth Why unexpected ideas can become our most meaningful work How to leave room for life to surprise you QUOTES FROM KEVIN MICHAEL KIRWAN “Life can surprise you if you let it, and you just have to get out of the way.” “You have one life. It's your life. Do not let anyone else live it for you.” “You've got to leave that room for failure and pick yourself up when you do go down and get right back in there.” QUOTES FROM DR. DAN “We have all these societal timelines and these messages, but it really comes down to us listening to ourselves and going within.” “Surprise them, everyone. Surprise them and do something different.” “Every human has so much unique potential—untapped potential.” FEATURED BOOK The Existential Awakening of One Particular Mexican Girl by Kevin Michael Kirwan Kevin's debut novel explores love, loss, mortality, identity, spirituality, and the possibility that our deepest human connections may transcend time and space.

Discover if the economy is weakening. Consumer confidence declined modestly in July as Americans expressed greater concern about business conditions, the labor market, and the cost of living. Despite weaker sentiment, consumer spending has remained resilient, suggesting feelings and economic behavior are not perfectly aligned. Key Takeaways Consumer confidence fell to 90.8, below expectations. Views of current business conditions and the labor market weakened. Grocery prices remain a major source of inflation concern. Consumers are still planning travel, dining out, and major purchases. Soft sentiment data doesn't always predict hard economic outcomes. AI-driven productivity gains could continue supporting lower inflation and stronger long-term growth. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?

Discover what the Fed's next rate decision may be. Will the Federal Reserve hold interest rates steady—or surprise markets with another rate hike? For the first time in years, even seasoned economists and former Federal Reserve officials are deeply divided. Rising oil prices fueled by renewed Middle East tensions are reigniting inflation concerns just as recent inflation data suggested the battle against higher prices may finally be turning a corner. In this episode, Linda P. Jones breaks down the competing forces shaping the Fed's decision, why Chairman Kevin Warsh has intentionally made monetary policy less predictable, and what investors should be watching beyond the headline announcement. Most importantly, Linda explains why she believes the long-term story isn't about one quarter-point rate move—it's about the powerful productivity gains from artificial intelligence that could reshape the economy and create one of the greatest wealth-building opportunities of our lifetime. What You'll Walk Away With Why this is one of the most uncertain Fed meetings in years. How rising oil prices could influence interest rate policy. Why the bond market is signaling concern about inflation. What Kevin Warsh's leadership style means for investors. The split among Fed officials on whether to raise rates. Why AI-driven productivity may ultimately reduce inflation. How geopolitical events complicate monetary policy. What investors should listen for during the Fed press conference. Why long-term investors shouldn't overreact to one Fed meeting. How to stay focused on wealth-building during uncertain markets. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?

Success should not require sacrificing your energy, well-being, or joy. Speaker, coach, business mentor, sound healing practitioner, and three-time author Melinda Cohan joins Dr. Dan to redefine what achievement can look and feel like. After building The Coaches Console into a multimillion-dollar company, Melinda realized that sustainable success requires more than strategy, productivity, and constant action… it begins with cultivating the person doing the work. Melinda shares the exact moment she realized she had created a beautiful life but had forgotten to include herself in it. She and Dr. Dan explore how high performers can recognize the early signs of burnout, release fear-driven perfectionism, protect their joy, and move from forcing outcomes to creating from a grounded state of being. The conversation also includes the often-overlooked practices of percolating, celebrating, and rejuvenating. She explains why self-care is not a reward for finishing the work but a strategic advantage that allows leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators to perform at their highest level without running themselves into the ground. Melinda and Dr. Dan also discuss the four levels of consciousness, the difference between perfectionism and excellence, sound healing, aligned action, and the importance of allowing creativity and possibility to move through us. How Melinda realized she had forgotten to paint herself into the picture of her life Why losing joy can be an early warning sign of burnout The difference between fear-driven perfectionism and striving for excellence How to replace the fear of failure with a “win or learn” mindset Why presence can be more powerful than performance The four levels of consciousness: “to me,” “by me,” “through me,” and “as me” Melinda's Create Without Burnout Cycle Why percolation, celebration, and rejuvenation improve creative output How self-care becomes a strategic advantage for high performers The relationship between our inner world and our external results How sound healing can create space for reflection, creativity, and personal transformation Why sustainable success does not require lowering your expectations For more information visit MelindaCohan.com and follow @melinda_cohan on Instagram.

British figurative sculptor, world champion longbow archer, and deep thinker Ian Edwards joins Dr. Dan on this latest episode about presence, self-awareness, creativity, dyslexia, purpose, and what it means to live a fulfilled life. Ian shares his extraordinary journey from leaving school at 16 with no formal qualifications and severe dyslexia to becoming an internationally collected sculptor and world-class archer. Along the way, he reflects on the mentors, inner awakenings, and practices that helped him understand the difference between achievement and fulfillment. In this episode, Dr. Dan and Ian explore neurodiversity, twice-exceptionality, the pressure to seek validation, and the importance of being true to yourself. Ian's story is a reminder that our worth is not defined by grades, titles, outcomes, or what the world measures. True growth begins when we pause, listen inward, and reconnect with who we really are. Listeners will gain insight into how presence can transform performance, creativity, parenting, leadership, and daily life. Ian also offers simple, practical ways to create space between ourselves and our thoughts, including breath awareness, honest self-reflection, and truly listening to others. This conversation is for anyone seeking more clarity, purpose, joy, authenticity, and connection in their life. In this episode: Ian's experience growing up with severe dyslexia and a deep inner knowing The gifts and challenges of twice-exceptionality and neurodiversity Why self-worth cannot come from achievement or external validation How creativity became a pathway to presence and flow Ian's apprenticeship with Ray and the “wisdom school” that shaped his life The connection between art, archery, performance, and presence Why fulfillment comes from being true to yourself How parents and leaders can meet others where they are Simple practices for awareness, reflection, and calming the self-seeking mind For more information visit www.ianedwardssculptor.com and follow @sculptorianedwards on Instagram.

A great burger looks simple—but barbecue experts know there is a surprising amount of science and technique behind getting it just right. From choosing the meat to handling the patties to what happens on the grill, a few small mistakes can mean the difference between a memorable burger and a disappointing one. Source: Steve Raichlen, author of The Barbecue Bible (https://amzn.to/4bgBEcM) Life has a way of speeding up. One day you're making plans for someday, and before you know it, months or years have gone by. That's why so many people eventually find themselves wondering: Did I spend my time on the things that really mattered? According to Jodi Wellman, avoiding regret isn't about quitting your job, moving to a tropical island, or making dramatic life changes. Instead, it comes from being intentional about how you spend your days and paying attention to the experiences, relationships, and opportunities that give life meaning. In this conversation, she shares a refreshing perspective on how to stop living on autopilot, make the most of the time you have, and create a life you'll look back on with satisfaction rather than regret. Jodi is a former corporate executive, executive coach, and author of You Only Die Once: How to Make It to the End with No Regrets (https://amzn.to/3KUdQ3Z).

They can shock, offend, amuse, bond people together, relieve pain, and communicate emotion in ways ordinary words often can't. But where do these words come from? Why are some words considered offensive while others are perfectly acceptable? And why does every generation seem to have a different idea about what language is inappropriate? Writer and language expert Jess Zafarris takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of profanity, insults, taboo language, and the darker corners of English vocabulary.
