This week Andrew talks with Marion Jones. In 2000, Marion became the first woman to win five track and field medals at a single Olympics — when she won 3 gold medals & 2 bronze medals at the summer games in Sydney, Australia. Then, in 2007 Marion's world came crashing down. She confessed that she had lied to federal investigators when, a few years prior, she denied using Performance-Enhancing Drugs. Marion was sentenced to six months in prison and the International Olympic Committee vacated all of her Olympic medals & performances. In this conversation, Marion talks candidly about her life & career — and many of the difficult lessons she's learned along the way. This episode is a powerful reminder about the ripple effects of decisions, the journey of redemption, & that we are all capable of overcoming our biggest mistakes. ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123Twitter/X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.

Marion Jones was once celebrated for her athletic achievements and known as the ‘fastest woman on the planet', and quickly became a household name in the early 2000s, appearing on the covers of Time Magazine, Vogue–as the first black female athlete to ever grace the cover, and Sports Illustrated and securing millions in endorsement deals from major brands including Nike, Gatorade, and “Got Milk”. Though she never tested positive in any drug test, in 2007 Marion eventually confessed that she had lied about taking Performance Enhancing Drugs and was subsequently sentenced to six-months in jail. As a result, she voluntarily chose to return her medals, taking full responsibility for her actions and apologizing to her fans around the world. Since then, Marion has completely reinvented herself and transformed her life. Today, Marion and I dive into it all. Today on the show we discuss: how Marion views her career as an Olympic athlete, the darkest moment of her life, why she believes taking performance enhancing drugs didn't give her that much of an edge, how she has reframed the way she views success, what it was like competing again after nearly two decades, how Marion has turned her mess into her message and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

This week I talk with personal wardrobe stylist Elsa Isaac about how show up in our work so that we present ourselves as a reflection of who we are on the inside. “There comes a point when that misalignment becomes too much. It just feels like you're not showing up as who you know you are on the inside. So we do all this work, all this self-development, to heal and elevate that inner version of ourselves. But for some reason we completely negate the outer appearance.” — Elsa Isaac This week on the Do It With Intention Podcast: Learn how fashion and the healing arts produce an energetic effect on our mental and emotional state.

She has since used that experience to serve as an example of resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity. In 2010, just four months after the birth of her third child, Marion made an impressive comeback to competitive sports earning a spot on the WNBA's Tulsa Shock.

The Essence of Sitting AroundSitting around is a fundamental human activity. Before we could walk, we sat. This quiet, contemplative act is foundational, and in the context of the Olympics, it becomes a stage for profound human drama.The Origins of the Olympics: A Story of Tortoises and HaresThe concept of the Olympics might well have sprung from watching a tortoise and a hare on the veld. This whimsical idea evolved into a grand event where athletes compete, while the rest of us watch, sometimes in person but often from home.The Waiting Area: A Space of Tension and ReflectionThe waiting area for swimmers is a stark contrast to the dynamism of the pool. It's a place of stillness and reflection, where athletes like Tatjana Schoenmaker, South Africa's breaststroke star, prepare mentally and emotionally for their races.Tatjana Schoenmaker: A Journey of Sacrifice and SolitudeTatjana's journey is marked by early mornings, solitary training, and significant sacrifices. Her dedication is mirrored by her family's support, who even skipped vacations to fund her lessons. This sacrifice paid off with gold and silver medals in Tokyo 2020, breaking a 21-year drought for South African women in Olympic swimming.The Power of Community: Tatjana's T-Shirt TributeTatjana's T-shirt, emblazoned with "Because of you, for you," lists those who supported her journey. It's a powerful reminder that, despite the loneliness of the sport, she is far from alone. Her community, faith, and family are integral to her success.The Dark Side of the Olympics: Doping ScandalsThe Olympics has a hidden underbelly filled with doping scandals. The political and financial pressures can sometimes overshadow the integrity of the games, as seen in the case of Marion Jones and the criticisms of WADA's effectiveness.Moments of Brilliance: Highlights from Paris 2024Despite these challenges, the Paris Games showcased incredible performances. Canadian hammer-thrower Ethan Katzberg's technique and Dutch hurdler Femke Bol's astonishing relay finish were standout moments, alongside Tatjana's inspirational journey.Conclusion: The Weight of Waiting and the Power of DreamsIn the end, the waiting area symbolises the weight of anticipation and the power of dreams. Athletes like Tatjana show us that, though they may seem alone in those moments, they carry the hopes and support of many, making their victories shared triumphs.Donate to The Luke Alfred Show on Patreon.Get my book: Vuvuzela Dawn: 25 Sporting Stories that Shaped a New Nation.Get full written episodes of the show a day early on Substack.Check out The Luke Alfred Show on YouTube and Facebook.

Today we are talking about step #2 that you can take right away to get you closer to achieving your goals, which is to Keep Showing Up.  If you believe in what you're doing, just keep showing up.  You never know when your breakthrough opportunity will appear, so bring your best to every situation.  When the right opportunity appears, you'll be ready! Did you know that Allyson Felix made it to the Olympics in just over one year.  With an intense training schedule of five to six hours per day, her persistence paid off.  By the end of her training season in 2003, she had broken many records, including one set by Olympic Gold Medalist, Marion Jones.  At the 2004 Olympics, she won the Silver Medal by running a 22.18 in the 200-meter race.  Amazingly, she did all of this while being a high-school senior and a freshman college student. She is a great example of someone who kept showing up every day, so she could realize her dreams.  Tune in tomorrow for Step #3 to help you get closer to achieving your goals.  I'm the author of many books, including, Excuses Don't Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, The Power of Visualization, My Gratitude Journal, the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, and The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.   Aim for what you want each and every day!  Anne BachrachThe Accountability Coach™

Bryan Storkel, Director of Untold: Hall of Shame on Netflix. Victor Conte's name is synonymous with the biggest doping scandal ever to rock the sports community, ensnaring top athletes such as baseball great Barry Bonds and track-and-field legends Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery. For 16 years, Conte swears BALCO Laboratories, his supplement and nutrition company based in the Bay Area, never dabbled in illegal, performance-enhancing drugs. But by 2000, he went to the dark side and became the go-to guy for athletes in search of steroids, fame, and world records.

Susie is on a serious bender with sports documentaries, which is pretty surprising since she thinks sports should be banned. She's fine with steroids, just not sports. Ok. We discuss the punishment Olympics track and field phenom Marion Jones received for cheating in the Olympics, and why Susie thinks the punishment didn't fit the crime. We compare it to the story of Lance Armstrong, and the reasons he feels somewhat justified for his decision to dope. We talk about the ways it's often the cover-up not the crime that causes the real problems. And we hear how the situation with the American Gladiators sounds very similar to our life experiences on the Challenge including pay, injuries, the lack of agency, and the long-term consequences. We hear what histrionic personality disorder is, and why a popular teen movie is the best way to understand the mysterious illness. We learn why synesthesia is different depending on your age. Plus, we learn why the person who popularized the Wizard of Oz viewing while listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and smoking pot sort of wishes he'd kept the trick to himself.Join our book club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/braincandypodSusie's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/susie_meisterSarah's Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ImSarahRiceSponsors:Head to https://embracepetinsurance.com/braincandy and sign up for pet insurance today!Control Body Odor ANYWHERE with @lumedeodorant and get $5 off off your Starter Pack (that's over 40% off) with promo code: BRAINCANDY5 at https://lumedeodorant.com/offer/BRAINCANDY5! #lumepodGet $20 off the test when you go to https://modernfertility.com/braincandyVisit https://ritual.com/braincandy to start Ritual or add Essential Protein to your subscription today!More podcasts at WAVE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/artist/wave-podcast-network/1437831426See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We surf waves, climb mountains, and dive into odorous media mixed zones with Elliott Almond. He has earned a reputation as one of the top Olympic writers and sports investigative reporters during his adventurous career of nearly 50 years. Elliott explains how Edwin Moses led him to break a major story about steroids before the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games. He recalls the bunker mentality needed to report on the tragic death of Hank Gathers. Why did Marion Jones talk to Elliott after a failed relay despite despising him? Hear about the craziness of writing about figure skating on deadline, how surfing with quarterback Todd Marinovich led to Elliott taking the Wonderlic test, and how climber Alex Honnold paused to provide a unique perspective. And there's the time a Secret Service agent pointed a gun at Elliott when he was chasing Richard Nixon . . . For nearly 50 years, Almond has been a sports journalist on the West Coast, noted for his enterprise work and Olympic coverage at the Los Angeles Times (1974-1996), the Seattle Times (1996-98), and the San Jose Mercury News (1998-2021). He has been recognized by such organizations as the Associated Press Sports Editors, Best American Sports Writing, the California Newspaper Publishers Association, and the Society of Professional Journalists. Elliott has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize three times. He is currently an outdoor columnist for the Cascadia Daily News in the Pacific Northwest.   Elliott covered 14 Summer and Winter Olympics, as well as the 1999 and 2007 Pan American Games. His investigative work includes reporting on the BALCO drug scandal, steroids in international track and field, Gathers' death, Magic Johnson and the issue of HIV, and cheating in college sports at Washington, USC, UCLA, and UNLV. He wrote about such diverse subjects as the Tour de France, social issues in sports such as abuse in women's sports, crime in college and professional sports, and concussions and the consequences of traumatic brain injuries.   A life-long surfer, Almond spent much of his youth traveling the Southern California and Baja California coastlines. He is the author of the book “Surfing: Mastering Waves from Basic to Intermediate.”   From 2009-13, Elliott was an instructor for San Jose State University, where he served as an editor overseeing the production of a broadsheet newspaper by teenagers participating in a high school journalism workshop.   Elliott graduated from California State-Fullerton in 1975 with bachelor's degrees in communications and political science. He completed a master's program, except for the dissertation, at California State-Long Beach.   Follow him on Twitter: @ElliottAlmond Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The red-light district in a city is meant to be an outlet for the restless to blow off steam, for lawlessness to play out, within acceptable limits. The unwritten rule is this: if you want to be risky and maybe destroy yourself, just go do it over here in this corner. It's a silent agreement. Town festivals are just small versions of Fat Tuesdays for the locals. A culture or society needs a Purim or Fat Tuesday or Carnivale or a parade or a keg party or Prom to let it all hang out for a bit, because it keeps people sane. However, the allowance of the rowdy night or weekend only makes sense if a return to normalcy and rules happens after it's over. Notice that Halloween is followed by All Saints Day. Fat Tuesday is followed by Ash Wednesday. Lent, a period of fasting and prayer, is followed by the feast of Easter. What's interesting in the Christian liturgical calendar is that these outlets are built into the year, every year, because there is an awareness of this “need” to sin, to burn off the slag, as if perhaps we have actually learned something over time. Maybe from the thirty thousand years of human history we have learned something. Maybe wandering the African savannah to the caves of France to crossing the Bering Strait and living in the empires of Sumeria and Mesopotamia and China and Egypt and Greece and Rome taught us some things. Maybe the smart people passing down oral tales figured a few things out and warned us in stories about why full lockdown and full license are both not great ideas. Perhaps, maybe, just maybe, there is some wisdom passed down to us through these silly myths and oral stories that came from these toothless flyover illiterate goat herders from ancient times that we sophisticated internet and smart phone users might benefit from if we can take a break from our Netflix and porn.One of these stories is the play, The Bacchae, by the Greek playwright, Euripides. This tells the story of Pentheus, a man who tries to defeat the god of wine and partying, Dionysus. To make a long play short, Pentheus gets ripped to pieces by the Maenads, the wild women, because he tries to peek and disrupt their annual ritual celebration where they let it all hang loose. The whole point of this play is what I'm talking about in this post. The Bacchae depicts a struggle to the death between the twin forces of control (restraint) and freedom (release), and permits Dionysus to provide an answer to this question. The god's implicit message is that not only is there space within society for the irrational, but that such a space must be allowed for that society to exist and thrive. By denying or opposing the irrational, as Pentheus did, the person who opposes it, or the society that denies it, will be torn apart. (taken from Sparknotes)So you see, database design and Greek tragedy can be discussed together. While this play may seem to go into some strange notions, the point is clear, and the United States congress should have read this play before passing the Prohibition of Alcohol amendment, as that marriage of law and excess order gave birth to a Mount Saint Helens eruption named Al Capone and organized crime. In more recent history, we were able to observe the lockdowns for Covid where the state put very strict rules on people, but left liquor stores open as “essential” business, which seemed to be the one element of minor rebellion allowed. IN response, people took to drinking during the lockdown as a coping strategy. However, staring into screens and drinking did not help very much, because soon many of the cities in the United States were in flames and rioting went on for month after month. The lockdown led to the upside-down. On the one hand we had complete control, while in other areas there was total lawlessness. And this happened with both the left and the right, so it's not like just one “side” went crazy in the state of legalism. The decision to leave liquor stores open is one thing. But then another decision came. Churches were closed, but strip joints were granted the status of being “essential businesses.” This, to me, is the summary statement of the Covid era in America, because it highlighted how upside-down our leadership and culture has become. Or rather, it simply revealed a reality that was already in existence, but just hadn't been made fully known, at least to me. The upside-down world had finally shown its true face. Was it God's will to have liquor stores and strip joints and abortion clinics be open and celebrated while churches were closed? Apparently so. And most likely it was done so that we could observe the madness that ensued and then choose how we want to live our lives. The nation had long held the word God on its lips, but never had it been so clear that it has long been only lip-service. If there is one common thread in the stories of the Bible, it is that turning away from the living God leads to disorder. No sooner did churches get shuttered in California than massive riots erupted. Correlation is not causation, but what strange luck for the devil for those two things to happen in succession. A moment in 2020 struck me when suddenly I understood why Abraham was called out of Haran. He had to leave the culture behind. For three months straight, cities across America belched smoke into the sky, night and day. I saw places that I formerly frequented in Portland, Oregon being burned to the ground. Then we saw the capitol building invaded by a hoard. It was difficult not to see the events that played out as Biblical, because the pattern matched eerily well to those old Bronze Age myths from those smelly, backward goat-herders. The dilemma of the ancient people was suddenly shoved near to each of us. The illusion of the nation that we had been living in disappeared. It was like a glossy polish of a tabletop hiding a rotten and termite-eaten wood structure. Like makeup removed from a hideous face, we saw the what America really had become. The empire was finally, fully unveiled. And as an empire can only come by elevating human desires to be higher than humility before God, like all empires, the pursuit of power and wealth and pleasure and honor eventually drives itself off a cliff. Empire is an attempt at self-salvation. Empire is the direct ambition of pride. But in the end, like a cell that refuses to live and die in its seasons, empire is a massive, unspoken suicide pact made among millions of people. Empire is the story of a cancer cell writ large. In making itself the most important thing, above God, an empire ends up killing the nation. A wise nation has its seasons and abides with fear of God. An empire ignores the seasons and thinks it will never die. As soon as a nation or a people justifies its decisions by the wrong kind of “freedom,” the unravelling begins. There is “freedom of indifference” and “freedom for excellence.” This is extremely simple and ties into everything else I repeat here. We can choose the fruit on the forbidden tree or we can choose to obey God. That's the dilemma: which type of freedom do you choose? Choosing the former, the wrong kind of freedom, precedes disorder, chaos, and eventually war, which America is hurtling toward. Order spins into disorder quickly when the wrong definition of “freedom” takes hold of a people. You can witness this on both sides of American politics. The pendulum swings, but unlike a clock pendulum, it swings with a knife, an axe, slicing into that which occupies the middle. To avoid the knife, sides must be chosen. As the pendulum is lowered, the knife gets closer, and the sides must flee further apart. After all, the one thing we know we want is self-preservation, not death. To avoid being cut down, we huddle on the left or the right to hide. Political parties are modern fig leaves, and as Adam said to God, “I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid,” that is what we are saying when we rush into the mob of our chosen political party. We hid behind the elephant or the donkey, using those affiliations to protect our nakedness, but neither of those will save you or anyone else in the end. The Greeks had Alexander, Persia had Cyrus, Rome had Caesar, Germany had Hitler: all of these model the same problem that is told about Babylon and Egypt in the Bible. These are the stories of empire and power. We tend to idealize the ancient emperors but see the most recent ones as monstrous. We speak of Caesar with strange admiration and despise Hitler, even though these two were doing the same thing, warring and enslaving and killing people in pursuit of power. Rest assured: the conquerors are all monstrous. These famous names are the “strongmen” of history, but they are all symptoms of an underlying disease. They only come to power because of mass fears among the people, growing out of eras like we have in America today. Hyper-polarization, distrust of authority, scapegoating, economic problems, failed attempts to overthrow the government, lies being spread, pandemics, propaganda, inflation. The canary in the coal mine for nearing the “strongman” phase of a nation is easy to spot: it is the collapse of sexual morality. America has been inching in this direction for sixty years and the snowball is now tumbling downhill. No sociologist, historian, or political scientist need explain it, as people feel the fragmentation happening today. The lust for national power brought a lust for everything. The desire for money and power created dirty deeds and deals, compromised morality. Secret wars brought affluence, and affluence brings entitlement. The bad example in our national leaders of how power and wealth was gained leads directly to the desires of individuals that need no more justification than “I want it” and “don't tell me what to do.” Here's the thing: if the winners cheated to get their spot on the podium, so shall we all. If the winners cheated, so can we. And we see it everywhere. We see it in business: Enron, Wells Fargo, Theranos. We see it in sports: Lance Armstrong and Marion Jones and Barry Bonds. We see it in the wealthy: Epstein, the Panama Papers, Trump, Gates. We see it in the church: McCarrick, the 300 Pennsylvania priests, the Jay Report. None of the models and heroes follow the rules. So we begin to ask ourselves the fatal question: “Why should I?”And that is exactly the question that must be resisted. “If they can do it, why can't I?” That is the temptation in the Garden. That is the voice that you must reject. In the Spiritual Combat, you must distrust that voice, and put all of your confidence into God alone, praying for Jesus to give you strength and direction, and the breath of life, the Holy Spirit, to guide you away from the easier path. Be Abraham, not Lot. Be Peter, not Judas. Aim to be a saint. The bad examples of this world should not open doors for you, but rather represent police-tape of where you do not cross, as the only cross to be concerned with is the one which Jesus will help you bear and carry.
