Elizabeth Svoboda, award-winning science writer and author of The Art of Pacing, examines a question that sits at the center of many successful careers: how to sustain high performance without exhausting the very resources that make meaningful work possible. Drawing on research, conversations with elite athletes, and her own experience, Svoboda argues that pacing is not about doing less. It is about managing energy with the same discipline and intentionality that top performers bring to training and competition. The discussion explores why many professionals develop an unhealthy relationship with work early in life, often equating constant effort with virtue and personal worth. Svoboda explains how this mindset can lead to burnout, diminished judgment, and a narrowing of long-term possibilities. Several practical lessons emerge from the conversation: Elite performers treat recovery as a strategic requirement, not a reward. Olympic athletes deliberately build rest, recovery, and tapering periods into their schedules to ensure they can perform when it matters most. Self-knowledge is a critical leadership skill. The ability to recognize personal limits, monitor energy reserves, and adjust effort accordingly often determines long-term effectiveness more than raw ambition. Mentors, coaches, and managers play an important role in helping people pace themselves. A trusted third-party perspective can identify patterns and risks that are difficult to see from within. Burnout rarely appears without warning. Changes in sleep, sustained physiological stress, declining motivation, and persistent exhaustion often signal the need to reduce commitments before deeper problems emerge. Recovery requires more than rest. Extended breaks can create the space needed to reconsider priorities, reassess career direction, and reconnect work with personal meaning. The conversation also examines the relationship between identity and achievement. Svoboda challenges the tendency to define self-worth through productivity, status, or professional success alone. She argues that identities rooted in character, contribution, and relationships are more resilient when careers encounter setbacks or unexpected change. A particularly practical section focuses on helping professionals reconnect with their own priorities. Svoboda discusses a reflective exercise designed to clarify purpose, identify meaningful goals, and distinguish personal aspirations from expectations inherited from employers, mentors, or social norms. The episode concludes with a thoughtful discussion about artificial intelligence. While acknowledging its practical uses, Svoboda argues that human relevance will increasingly depend on qualities machines cannot replicate: lived experience, judgment shaped by struggle, authentic perspective, and the ability to connect deeply with others. She also raises important questions about consent, compensation, and fairness in the development of AI systems. For senior professionals navigating demanding careers, this conversation offers a disciplined framework for thinking about performance, recovery, identity, and the conditions required to sustain meaningful work over the long term.

Send us Fan MailWhat if one of the biggest missing pieces in teacher retention is how we support mentor teachers?In this episode, Becca talks with John Pascarella, professor of clinical education at USC and Chief Academic Officer of the USC Race and Equity Center, about why mentor teachers are often asked to support new teachers without the training, role clarity, compensation, or coaching they actually need.They unpack why being a great teacher does not automatically make someone a great mentor, how mentoring adults requires a different skill set, and why schools need to stop treating mentorship like informal volunteer work.This conversation is for instructional coaches, school leaders, district leaders, and teacher leaders who want to strengthen new teacher support, improve teacher retention, and build more effective mentoring systems in schools.John's Info:Faculty profile  |  CCTE Policy Brief (free download, includes my brief on mentor teachers)  |  Learning Policy Institute (Stanford University)Buy "The Resistance Solution" here!Let's Stay Connected!Website  |  Instagram |  Twitter |  Linkedin |  Facebook |  Contact Us

Show Summary On today's episode, we're having a conversation with Licensed Clinical Social Worker Amanda Noyes, the founder of Finding Freedom Therapy and member of the DFW First Responders Support Network. We talk about Trauma therapy and mental health networks for service members, veterans and first responders Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you. If you PsychArmor has helped you learn, grow, and support those who've served and those who care for them, we would appreciate hearing your story. Please follow this link to share how PsychArmor has helped you in your service journey Share PsychArmor StoriesAbout Today's GuestAmanda Noyes is the founder of Finding Freedom Therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Supervisor with over 25 years of experience, she has had the opportunity to work in numerous crisis situations where she witnessed firsthand the gravity of trauma and grief. It was in these situations that she realized there were not enough opportunities to heal from trauma and loss after the initial crisis. With this knowledge, she formed Finding Freedom Therapy, PLLC, in 2014 with the vision of providing specialized treatment to those who have endured (or are continuing to endure) horrific traumas and unspeakable losses.After earning her degree in psychology and international studies from Texas A&M University, Amanda pursued her Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. Throughout her career, she has had the unique opportunity to gain notable hands-on experience, much of which was working in conjunction with the military, first responders, and frontline workers. She has worked alongside probation and parole officers in the field, with police officers on-scene, supported doctors and nurses in the ED and ICU departments of level-one trauma centers, counseled families of the recently deceased at the moment of loss, and worked next to the U.S. National Guard when assisting during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Harvey.Amanda's experience with veterans and military service members began early in her career with her graduate internship at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Hospital, and later continued with her work as lead trauma therapist for an inpatient military program, Freedom Care, where she worked with active-duty combat military and veterans suffering from PTSD. She is trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Written Exposure Therapy (WET). Each and every step of her career has shaped and strengthened her ability to better assist clients through the most difficult times in their lives.Links Mentioned in this Episode Finding Freedom Therapy WebsiteDFW First Responders Support NetworkPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's resource of the week is the PsychArmor course Trauma Informed Interactions with Veterans.

We could do it later. We could get serious later. But why? Why not do it while we have the chance?

Send us Fan MailSweat, hormones, and summer heat can turn “go take a shower” into a daily battle, and I don't want our kids learning hygiene through embarrassment. We're talking about child hygiene as a real life skill: how to explain body odor and bacteria in a simple way, how to build routines that stick, and how to mentor instead of just correct. When kids understand the why, hygiene stops feeling like a punishment and starts feeling like self-respect. We get specific about when to start (and how to supervise without hovering), what changes during puberty, and why hair growth and cycles can make odor stronger. I also share practical hygiene tools that help at any age: soap and water over shortcuts, deodorant that actually lasts, oral care upgrades like tongue scrapers and flossers, and the often-missed basics of bathroom hygiene. For teens, we dig into face washing, acne, moisturizer, and why removing makeup at night matters. We also cover how to teach hygiene without shame. That means calm language, no teasing, and using our own stories so the lesson lands at eye level. We talk about modeling routines, using simple charts for younger kids, and including hair washing as part of total body care. Finally, we zoom out to whole-body wellness with a conversation about internal health and digestion, because feeling “clean” is not only external. Subscribe to Mom to Mentor, share this with a parent who needs it, and leave a review so more moms can find the show.

Vinney Chopra arrived in America with just $7 — and built a billion-dollar real estate career on one principle: when the student is ready, the mentor appears. In this clip he shares how to find the need within, why silence and introspection unlock your next level, and the truth that if the man is right, the world is right. Mentors are all around you — in books, on YouTube, in podcasts. You just have to be ready.

We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.This week on the podcast, we welcome back Samantha Beeler, President of The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates. She returns to the podcast to discuss what it looks like to live and lead well at the same time. We talk about how success on paper can still feel hollow when it comes at the expense of presence, health, or the people we care about and how many leaders learn that achievement alone doesn't hold up as a definition of a good life.Listen in as we share how those lessons rarely arrive in one dramatic moment but instead build through seasons, habits, missteps, and small course corrections. From missed boundaries to rules about disconnecting, we reflect on what it means to step back from making efforts to be constantly available and challenge the idea that being always-on is a requirement for being effective. Listen as Samantha opens up about the real tradeoffs behind leadership decisions—including times when she pushed too hard, learned from it, and began relying more intentionally on boundaries and the people around her to keep her grounded.Throughout our conversation, we return to the idea that leadership is shaped just as much by who surrounds us as by anything we accomplish on our own. Mentors, peers, teams, and even family members all play big roles in helping us see ourselves more clearly and adjust when we drift off course. We also discuss the pressure leaders often feel to be everywhere, know everything, and never miss an opportunity and how that mindset can quietly pull life out of alignment.

Ross Hamilton has been around the real estate investing world for a long time, and this conversation was packed with lessons most people never hear about success, mentorship, and personal growth. We talked about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, protecting your mindset, and learning how to focus on the things you can actually control every single day.Ross shared how he went from BMX riding and knocking on foreclosure doors to building and selling Connected Investors. One of the biggest takeaways was his perspective on mentors. Real mentorship is not something you apply for. It's built through relationships, consistency, and showing up with value over time.We also got into the mission behind Saving Homes, the nonprofit Ross started to help single parents avoid foreclosure after medical hardships. They are doing incredible work helping families stay in their homes and creating long-term solutions that actually make an impact.If you've been feeling distracted, overwhelmed, or stuck in your business, this episode will help you refocus on what really matters.What's Inside: —Why other people's energy affects your success more than you think—How real mentorship is built through relationships and consistency—The importance of controlling your focus and daily habits—How Saving Homes is helping families avoid foreclosure crises

Welcome multi‑platinum Nashville session drummer, Aksel Coe! Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Aksel has quickly made a name for himself as one of the city's most sought-after session drummers, having recorded on many of today's top country, pop, and indie tracks.

We dive right into Aksel's diverse musical upbringing and his journey from the West Coast to Nashville.

Phil has recently spoken very positively about the way King Charles is handling his reign. But there's a story about his earlier - and much more controversial - life that's hardly ever been told. In his bachelor days and as a young man recently married to Diana Spencer, Charles was heavily under the influence of some seriously strange - even dangerous - people. So who were the men who shaped the mindset of Britain's future King, and psychologically prepared him for marriage and public life? You'll be surprised!Phil is then joined by young academic Amilia Gillies to discuss the weird and wonderful world of another royal court - that of King James (the 1st of England and 6th of Scotland). It was a colourful and highly scandalous time, full of larger than life characters and some very naughty poetry!There's information and extracts from Phil's own new book here...https://sites.google.com/view/1945thereckoning/homeYou can order his book on Amazon UK and Amazon Australia, India and NZ - and it is available all around the world as an e-book and an audio book...https://www.amazon.co.uk/1945-Reckoning-Empire-Struggle-World/dp/139971449X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=#***We now have a Thank You button (next to the 'three dots') for small donations that help support our work***Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you'd like to get scandalous with?

In der heutigen Folge von Fix & Flip – Der Immobilienpodcast sprechen wir über den heiligen Gral der Immobilienbranche: Die finanzielle Freiheit. Warum dauert der Weg über Buy & Hold oft so quälend lange und warum ist der Immobilienhandel (Fix & Flip) die wahre Abkürzung in die Selbstständigkeit?Ich erkläre dir, warum es nicht am Fachwissen scheitert, sondern am fehlenden Mut für den letzten Schritt – und warum du einen echten Mentor brauchst, der dir den Rücken stärkt, statt eines Coaches, der dir nur Träume verkauft. Außerdem rechnen wir konkret durch, wie du mit dem Aufteilungsgeschäft und nur drei Deals massive Vermögenswerte aufbaust.Partner dieser Folge: Heide Immobilienbewertung – Dein Partner für rechtssichere Gutachten.

The Hilarious Truth About Youth Sports with Daddy Ball Most people see youth sports as fun and games. But this episode pulls back the curtain on the wild world behind the sidelines. Coach Aaron and co-host Mariah sit down with Robbie, the creator of the viral character “Daddy Ball.” Robbie created one of the internet's funniest and most controversial fictional coaches. Through sharp satire and over-the-top humor, he shines a light on the real problems in youth sports culture. From favoritism to overly aggressive coaching, Daddy Ball turns everyday frustrations into comedy that parents, coaches, and athletes instantly recognize. How Daddy Ball Became a Viral Sensation Robbie shares how he started creating content and built Daddy Ball into a massive online brand. He explains how real stories from parents, coaches, and online forums inspire many of his skits. Each video exaggerates common youth sports situations in a way that feels both hilarious and painfully accurate. His content connects with audiences because it mixes comedy with truth. The episode also explores how Robbie creates short-form videos that keep viewers engaged. He breaks down storytelling techniques, timing, and character building that help his content stand out online. Humor That Sparks Real Conversations Daddy Ball is more than comedy. Robbie uses satire to start conversations about unhealthy behavior in youth sports. His videos highlight issues like toxic competition, coach favoritism, and parents taking sports too seriously.

Robbie also talks about the challenges of creating controversial content online. Satire often hits a nerve, especially when audiences see themselves in the joke. He explains how he balances humor, criticism, and authenticity while growing his platform. From Content Creator to Sports Personality Over time, Robbie turned Daddy Ball into more than a character. He now collaborates with sports personalities, brands, and online creators across the sports world. His journey shows how creativity and consistency can build a loyal audience.

Long before playing with Lady Gaga and Alkaline Trio, Tosh sat down with me to break down the records, mentors, and moments that shaped his drumming voice. We talk about discovering Thomas Pridgen at 10 years old, learning how to command a stage from Tommy Lee, what Snoop grooves taught him about making people move, and the lessons he learned touring with Nick West at just 16 years old. Inside this episode: Meeting Thomas Pridgen for the first time and eventually studying with him for years Why groove and making people dance mattered more than playing perfectly Learning confidence, leadership, and stage presence on tour with Nick West Tommy Lee, pyrotechnics, and why Tosh believes drummers should steal the spotlight The influence of Tosh's dad and the roots of his playing style --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

On the Contacts Coaching Podcast, Josh Duke, Executive Director of Athletics and Operations at Grace Prep in the DFW Metroplex, shares his path from Grace Prep student to Abilene Christian student manager, then coaching at Fort Worth Christian (freshman, JV under Jeff Bell, and varsity head coach) before returning to Grace Prep in 2020 as athletic director and head boys basketball coach. He explains Grace Prep's university-model schedule, how families make it work, and the broader Texas homeschool sports landscape. Duke outlines Grace Prep's sports offerings, enrollment size, and the realities of sustaining football participation, while emphasizing the value and role-management of multi-sport athletes. He discusses balancing in-season/off-season demands, how roster makeup changes basketball strategy, the importance of mentors, AD lessons learned during COVID, culture-building through parent/community engagement and monthly team dinners, and how conversations with other coaches shifted his thinking on using pressure defense to control tempo.00:00 Welcome And Introductions00:42 Josh Duke Coaching Journey02:54 University Model School Explained06:44 Homeschool Sports Landscape08:10 Grace Prep Sports Offerings08:42 Building Multisport Culture10:45 Roles And Expectations12:09 Making Room For Leaders14:50 State Title Multisport Example15:28 Football Numbers Reality16:47 AD Coach Conflict Balance17:24 Offseason Basketball In Texas19:45 Adapting Style To Talent22:06 Simple Vs Complex Offense23:57 Playing Downhill And Pace24:48 Assistant to Head Coach Shock25:50 Finding Your Own Style26:57 Leveraging Veteran Assistants28:19 Mentors and Accountability30:29 Becoming Athletic Director33:42 Stealing Culture From Others37:41 Coaching Through Parenthood39:44 Team Dinners Build Culture43:58 Changing Minds and Tempo46:55 Pressing to Control Pace49:09 Final Thanks and Wrap

The demands of the CEO role don't stand still—and neither can the leaders in it. Yet while many executives benefit from mentorship on the path to the top, far fewer maintain it once they arrive.In this episode of Leadership Lounge, Emma Combe sits down with Suzanne Bose-Mallick to explore how mentorship helps CEOs sustain performance in one of the most demanding roles in business.They discuss:Why many CEOs stop engaging with mentors—and why that can limit their effectivenessThe moments when mentorship matters most, from succession to transformationHow mentors support CEOs in building relationships with their boards, making top team decisions, and deciding between competing prioritiesThe difference between a mentor and a chair—and why independence can be important“An external mentor allows a CEO to have consequence-free conversations…a space where they can truly express their concerns.”- Suzanne Bose-Mallick, Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds AssociatesFour things you'll learn from this episode:Mentorship becomes more valuable at the top: The transition into the CEO role often increases the need for external perspective, not reduces it. Challenge sharpens performance: The best mentors hold CEOs to account, helping them make better, more grounded decisions. Independence creates space for honesty: Unlike internal stakeholders, external mentors offer a confidential environment for candid reflection and clearer thinking. Impact depends on the CEO: The most effective mentoring relationships require preparation, openness, and a willingness to be challenged. In this episode, we will cover:(1:53) Why CEOs must continually evolve to stay effective (2:38) How mentorship supports leaders through high-stakes transitions (5:20) When to seek a mentor—and why it's never too late (6:53) The role of mentors in grounding decision-making under pressure (8:44) Mentor vs. chair: understanding the difference (10:55) What CEOs must bring to get value from mentorship (12:31) When mentoring relationships lose effectiveness—and how to respond

Travis and his producer Eric break down the idea of a personal “Mount Rushmore” of high‑value influences and why picking the right people to follow can make you more successful and less susceptible to the spammy, scammy side of self‑help and business content. They use a viral clip about “the most attractive man in America” as a humorous jumping‑off point to talk about substance over style in the online influencer world. On this episode we talk about: Why the phrase “high value man” has become a cringe trigger and what people really mean when they say it. Using a funny viral clip to pivot into a serious conversation about who actually influences your thinking and behavior. Travis's Mount Rushmore of mentors: Naval Ravikant, Adam Grant, Mark Manson, and Gary Vaynerchuk, and why each one made the cut. How Adam Grant's “Give and Take” reshaped Travis's philosophy on relationships, giving, and long‑term success. Naval's concept of unique value and building a skill stack that creates a “market of one,” plus how that ties wealth creation to genuine happiness. Top 3 Takeaways Curate your influences with intention: the people you follow most closely should be data‑driven, non‑reactionary, and focused on truth over polarization or cheap virality. The most successful people tend to be strategic givers, not takers or strict matchers, and adopting a give‑first mindset can fundamentally change your relationships and opportunities. Long‑term leverage comes from stacking skills into a unique value proposition so you become a “market of one,” doing work that feels like play to you but looks like work to everyone else. Notable Quotes “You're basically just calling him hot, but you want to say it in a masculine way, so you're like, ‘he's just so high value.' You wanted to say sexy.” “Give and Take fundamentally shifted the way that I view relationships and the value that's given in relationships because of the givers, takers, matchers thing.” “It's not just about creating one skill set that's marketable… it's about the ultimate skill stack you create over a long enough period of time so you can create a market of one.” Connect with Travis: Instagram: https://instagram.com/travischappell Other: https://travischappell.com A Word from Our Sponsors: - Are you ready to start your own creatorjourney and make it big?
