Why do we wait to feel confident before we act, when confidence only shows up after we move?In this episode, Kevin and Alan continue the conversation from the last episode and go deeper into what actually builds self-belief. They unpack why motivation gets too much credit, why discomfort is unavoidable if you want to grow, and how mindset and accountability shape long-term progress more than talent ever will. The discussion moves beyond theory into real patterns they have seen across years of coaching and thousands of conversations with people trying to level up their lives.This is not about hype. It is about understanding how belief is built through behavior over time. Listen before your comfort zone convinces you that waiting is productive._______________________Learn more about:Track the Work. Earn the Results.

What does a Formula One World Champion packing up a garage have in common with an Olympic swimmer crying into his goggles at the end of a training session? More than you might think.In this exclusive preview, Jake and Damian read two of their favourite chapters from the Micro Habits audiobook, distilling some of the most powerful lessons from six years and 400+ conversations with the world's highest performers.First, Lando Norris reveals the mindset shift that separates people who merely have a job from those who have found a calling, and the surprisingly simple reframe that can unlock it for anyone, whatever they do for a living.Then, Adam Peaty opens up about the breakdown that almost ended his Olympic dream, the ancient Greek myth that helped him find his way back, and the brutally honest advice Michael Phelps gave him in a 20-minute conversation that changed everything.These aren't dramatic, headline-grabbing moments. They're quiet, private, and almost invisible — and they're exactly the kind of micro habits that make everything else possible.Micro-Habits: Tiny Changes That Supercharge High Performance is available now.

Exploring the ways trauma is secretly running your life (even if you had a “good” childhood) || “Trauma” has become a buzzword, especially in the personal development space, but most women still don't *actually* understand what it is or how it's running their lives. ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/LlFIWVEhvo0?si=T0pejO0LLXw5EeX3 In this episode, Monica explains what trauma really is, how the trauma cycle keeps high-achieving women stuck in control and hyper-independence, and why mindset work alone will never heal your nervous system and fix your problems “at the root.” You'll hear:
This episode is brought to you by B2B Better. Richard cut CAC by 27% by ditching billboards and investing in owned content — podcasts, videos, and customer interviews that actually moved the needle. That's exactly the kind of content engine we help B2B service businesses build. If you want a podcast that drives pipeline, not just downloads, visit b2bbetter.com. If you think B2B buying is purely rational, this episode is your wake-up call. In this episode of Pipe Dream, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Richard Dedor, Senior Client Strategist at Vericast, to unpack what a decade of B2C financial services marketing can teach B2B marketers about differentiation, storytelling, and cutting through a commoditised market. Richard's core point is clear: stop overthinking your product and start understanding the emotion behind the buying decision. Every purchase — whether it's a checking account or a six-figure SaaS contract — starts with a pain point. The businesses that win are the ones that lean into that pain and make the buyer the hero. The cheeseburger analogy says it all. McDonald's, In-N-Out, Wendy's — they're all selling the same thing but winning different customers by knowing exactly who they're for. B2B is no different. You don't need a revolutionary product. You need a sharper story built around the right ingredients for the right target market. The conversation gets tactical on CAC reduction. Richard's team cut acquisition costs by 27% by reallocating budget away from vanity spend — billboards chief among them — and investing in owned content instead. Podcasts, videos, webinar series, and customer interviews that spoke directly to real pain points. A billboard reaches everyone and no one. A customer interview that mirrors exactly what a prospect is feeling reaches the right person at the right moment. For B2B marketers dealing with long sales cycles and buying committees, hold the macro message steady and pivot the micro-messaging for each stakeholder in the room. And when compliance is standing between you and a good idea, make them your second-best friend — walk them through the concept one friction point at a time and help them get themselves to yes. People buy with emotion. Even in B2B. Especially in B2B. That's what you should be tapping into.

Tax season doesn't excuse bad preparation.In this solo micro-episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams shares a practical 5-minute AI workflow to help you walk into every client interview informed, confident, and positioned as an advisor — even during your busiest stretch of tax season.Most accountants don't feel underprepared because they don't care.They feel underprepared because they're overloaded.Back-to-back meetings.No time to reread prior returns.No mental space to spot planning opportunities.In this episode, Lee explains:• Why “directional awareness” matters more than perfect prep• How to use AI as a thinking partner — not a replacement• A simple prompt you can use to summarize prior-year returns and financials• How to generate thoughtful client questions in minutes• Why better prep leads to better positioning as an advisorThis isn't about outsourcing tax advice to AI.It's about using technology to show up sharper, ask better questions, and elevate the client experience.Five minutes of prep can change the tone of the entire meeting.Advisors don't memorize clients.They prepare for them.—Host: Lee ReamsPodcast: The Growth Minded AccountantTopic: AI for accountants, tax season efficiency, client interview preparation
Have you ever promised yourself you'd say no, set a boundary, or speak up… and then said yes anyway?In this episode, the last of the People-Pleasing Mini-Series, host Elizabeth Mintun explores why self-trust is hard, why guilt and old patterns show up, and how you can begin making changes with compassion and steadiness. Elizabeth addresses why understanding the pattern isn't enough to shift it, how the nervous system interprets self-prioritization as risk, and the waves of guilt, fear, and identity disorientation that can arise when we are making a healthy change for ourselves. Elizabeth also shares her personal journey with people-pleasing as well as a free workshop happening Thursday, February 26th, called From People-Pleasing to Self-Trust. Key TakeawaysAwareness ≠ immediate change. Understanding people-pleasing patterns is important, but your nervous system operates on survival wiring, so behavior change happens gradually.Self-trust can feel destabilizing at first. Saying no, setting limits, or interrupting old patterns can trigger guilt, fear of being misunderstood, and identity disorientation. This is normal.Micro-shifts and consistent practice matter. Pausing, regulating your nervous system, and practicing boundaries in relationships gradually rewires old pathways.Caring without disappearing is possible. You don't have to harden, withdraw, or stop caring about others. Self-trust is about staying present with yourself in the context of relationships.

Let me ask you: What if the biggest thing standing between you and your next closed deal had nothing to do with your product knowledge, your pricing, or your pitch? What if it came down to three simple micro behaviors that most salespeople never bother to master? I was speaking to a group of students and marketing professionals at BYU-Idaho recently, and this question came up in a great way. We were talking about what actually drives buying decisions, and I shared something I believe with every fiber of my being: your prospect’s emotional experience with you as they walk through their decision journey is a more consistent predictor of outcome than any other variable. Read that again. Their emotional experience. Not your features. Not your price. Not your killer deck. People are asking five questions as they go through a decision to buy: Do I like you? Do you listen to me? Do you make me feel important? Do you understand me? Can I trust you? If you can get to yes on all five, you win. And the micro behaviors below are exactly how you do it. Micro Behavior #1: Read the Room Authenticity without respect for your audience is arrogance. I know that sounds blunt, but I mean it. I see salespeople all the time who show up however they want to show up, dressed however they feel like dressing, presenting however they feel comfortable, and then wonder why the deal stalled. Being “authentic” does not mean ignoring your buyer. It means showing up for your buyer. When I was in outside sales doing field work, I had clothes hanging in my car on a hanger. If I was walking into a company where everyone wore suits, I put on a jacket and a tie. If I was walking into a manufacturing plant full of people in polo shirts, I changed in the parking lot. When I sold in Clemson, South Carolina, I wore a Tiger tie. I’m a Georgia Bulldog, but I was in their house. Showing up in Clemson with a Dawgs tie would have cost me the deal before I ever opened my mouth. Reading the room is not fake. It is the highest form of respect you can show another person. It says: I see you. I came prepared for you. You matter to me. That one shift, from showing up for yourself to showing up for your buyer, will change your results immediately. Micro Behavior #2: Shut Up and Listen This is the easiest and fastest way to be likable on the planet, and most salespeople still will not do it. When you give another human being your full, undivided attention and actually listen to them, they fall in love with you. I am not exaggerating. I said this to the students at BYU-Idaho and I will say it here: if you just listen to people, they will do almost anything you ask them to do. Why? Because the most insatiable human need is the need to feel important. To feel like you matter. And when you give someone your full attention, you are filling that need in a way that almost nobody else in their life is willing to do. The mechanics are simple. Ask a great question. Then shut up. Resist every urge to jump in, interject, or start mentally composing your response while they are still talking. Just listen. The reason this is hard is that when our mouth is not moving, we do not feel important. We feel like we are losing ground. We feel like silence is weakness. It is not. Silence and attention are your greatest sales weapons. Micro Behavior #3: Tell Them Their Own Story Back to Them This one is where everything clicks together. Once you have listened, here is what you do when you open your mouth: tell them the story they just told you, back to them, in the context of how you can help them. Let me say that one more time because it is that important. When words come out of your mouth, you should be telling your prospect the story they just told you about themselves and their situation, framed around how you can solve their problem. That is it. That is the whole game. This answers the question every buyer is silently asking: “Does this person actually understand me?” And even if you do not get every detail right, if they can see you are genuinely trying to understand, they will still feel it. They will still think: this person cares about me. When you can read the room, listen without an agenda, and reflect their story back to them in a way that connects to your solution, you have answered yes to four of those five buying questions before you ever ask for anything. One More Thing: The Pipe Is Life I was asked at the end of that BYU-Idaho session: “If you could leave us with one thing, what would it be?” My answer was immediate. The pipe is life. It does not matter how likable you are. It does not matter how well you listen. It does not matter if you have mastered every micro behavior in this post. If you do not have a pipeline, none of it matters. The number one reason salespeople fail is an empty pipeline. And the number one reason pipelines are empty is that salespeople stop doing the prospecting work every single day. Especially on the days you are tired. Especially at the end of the day when you just want to go home. Feed the pipe. Pick up the phone. Make one more call. Join Sales Gravy at our next live workshop event.

Host Erin Kerry sits down with naturopathic physician, bodyworker, former dancer, and “Frequent Feeler” Dr. Jenn Rapkin to explore why so many of us struggle to feel our feelings—and how reconnecting with the body can completely transform emotional and physical health.

Whether you're a parent, a healer, a highly sensitive person, or someone who's spent years pushing feelings down, this conversation offers compassionate, nonjudgmental tools for befriending difficult emotions, expanding your emotional capacity, and healing from the inside out. Key Topics: - What it means to be a “Frequent Feeler” - Why emotions get suppressed—and the cost to the body - Jenn's four categories of emotional avoidance - Rumination vs. body-centered awareness - How emotional retreat shows up physiologically - Practical tools for sitting with discomfort - Parenting strategies for kids with big emotions - How to break familiar emotional narratives - Micro-practices for building emotional resilience - The role of art, movement, and bodywork in processing feelings - How suppression impacts relationships and nervous system health Book: The Feeling Muscle Website: drjennrapkin.com Instagram: @drjennrapkin Join Erin's monthly mailing list to get health tips and fresh meal plans and recipes every month: https://mailchi.mp/adde1b3a4af3/monthlysparksignup Order Erin's new book, Live Beyond Your Label, at erinbkerry.com/upcomingbook/
Create space for your manifestations—without chaos, burnout, or starting over How do you dream bigger… without burning out? Without quitting everything? Without blowing up a life that already has a lot of good in it? In this honest and grounded solo episode, Jen dives into a manifestation block that many women quietly experience: wanting more, while also feeling responsible for the life they've built. Have you ever thought: "I want more freedom, more joy, more income… but I can't just start over,"? You're not alone! Drawing from her own journey of pivoting out of a soul-sucking 8–5 (without reckless leaps), Jen shares how micro actions, clarity, and aligned shifts led to her lifestyle design and financial freedom over time — not overnight. This is manifestation in real life. Practical. Grounded. And deeply empowering. ✨ Inside This Episode: Why dreaming bigger can feel unsafe (and what your nervous system has to do with it) The truth about "burn it all down" messaging vs sustainable manifestation How to pivot without chaos or dramatic life implosions The hidden reason manifestations stall (hint: lack of space) Jen's personal story of shifting careers while still paying the bills The power of micro actions and long-term lifestyle pivots Why clarity on what you don't want accelerates manifestation How momentum builds trust, confidence, and aligned opportunities A gentle reframe: you are allowed to want more and honor your current life

This week, Gabby talks with Dr. Taz — traditionally trained physician, integrative medicine expert, and founder of Whole Plus — about what it really means to practice medicine in today's world.They begin with the new U.S. health guidelines and unpack why Dr. Taz considers them a “win” — particularly the shift toward whole foods, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and the callout of ultra-processed foods. But the conversation quickly goes deeper.They discuss why food pairing and portion size matter more than food labels, how blood sugar and inflammation are driving modern disease, and why simple carbohydrates may be at the center of the chronic illness epidemic.From there, the episode moves into something bigger: shared decision-making in medicine. Dr. Taz explains why individualized care — especially in pediatrics — requires nuance, context, and trust between families and physicians. She shares her own journey through personal health struggles, how that experience reshaped her medical philosophy, and why healing requires more than just prescriptions and protocols.Gabby and Dr. Taz also explore:Micro habits that lower cortisol and improve metabolic healthThe impact of blue light and screens on inflammationWhy 10-minute practices can shift your nervous systemThe difference between “data-driven” health and intuitive healthGender differences in how men and women approach wellnessThe importance of family systems in long-term healingWhy medicine must move from authority to partnershipAt its core, this conversation isn't about trends or controversy. It's about reconnecting science with spirit — and empowering families to think critically, ask better questions, and practice health in ways that actually work for their lives.Chapters00:00 – Why evidence-based holistic medicine matters05:00 – The new U.S. health guidelines: what changed10:00 – Simple carbs, insulin resistance, and inflammation15:00 – Full-fat foods, meat, and food pairing nuance22:00 – Why personalization beats rigid rules30:00 – Gender differences in health blind spots40:00 – Micro habits: 10-minute practices that shift cortisol50:00 – Personalized medicine and micro-dosing prescriptions58:00 – Pediatric care, shared decision-making, and gut health1:08:00 – Trust in medicine and rebuilding relationships1:18:00 – Medicine as a calling, not a business1:24:00 – What keeps Dr. Taz groundedKey Takeaways• Pairing and portions matter more than labels.• Inflammation and blood sugar instability drive most chronic disease.• Micro habits can regulate cortisol without overwhelming change.• Health is contextual — environment, stress, and family systems all matter.• Personalized medicine isn't alternative — it's responsible.• Shared decision-making builds trust between doctors and families.• Nervous system regulation may be the foundation of long-term healing.ConnectDr. TazInstagram: @drtazmdWhole Plus: https://holplus.coGabby ReeceInstagram: @gabbyreeceYouTube: The Gabby Reece ShowProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Brendan Appel of the Sons of Speed sits in for Jill this week. Brendan and Tom open the show talking about the changing character of car engines, and how small turbocharged examples lack the character—especially exhaust note—of older, larger engines. Tom shares news regarding deep price cuts on the Tesla Cybertruck. Per Elon Musk, the new, cheaper Tesla pickup may not be available for long, so interested shoppers may want to act quickly. Brendan and Tom discuss what the price adjustment might mean for the resale value of existing examples of the controversially designed pickup truck. Still in the first segment, Tom reviews the 3-row Lexus TX luxury crossover. Listen in for his take. In the second segment Brendan and Tom welcome Zack Pradel of Shooting Cars to the show. Zack is just back from Japan where he drove a number of the country's “kei” micro cars. As it has been suggested that kei cars could be the answer to rising new-car sticker prices in the U.S., Zack's take on these tiny vehicles is especially interesting. In the last segment Zack joins Brendan for this week's quiz. The show wraps up with a quick look at the current Polestar model lineup. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How do you move through winter without numbing out, gritting your teeth, or waiting for spring to fix you? In this episode of Medium Lady Talks, Erin shares the small but powerful micro-rituals helping her stay present, intentional, and connected to herself during one of the heaviest seasons she's had in years. This isn't about productivity hacks. It's not about aesthetic morning routines. And it's definitely not about toxic positivity. It's about participation. If winter often feels narrowing — emotionally, mentally, culturally — this episode explores how small, deliberate practices can widen your thinking, reduce decision fatigue, and help you reclaim your point of view in a season that tempts many of us toward passive consumption and burnout. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why micro-rituals can be more powerful than big resolutions How reducing decision fatigue supports mental health in winter The difference between consuming inspiration and activating it Why analog living isn't aesthetic — it's neurological How music appreciation can retrain your attention span The benefits of slow reading and commonplace journaling What critical thinking actually is (and why it matters now more than ever) How asking “What do I think?” can protect your identity in overwhelming seasons The Three Micro-Rituals Erin Shares: 1️⃣ Activating Inspiration Instead of Saving It Using simple outfit formulas (inspired by creator Laura Owens) to eliminate decision fatigue and translate digital inspiration into real-life embodiment. The power isn't in watching someone else get dressed — it's in getting dressed. 2️⃣ Music Appreciation as Attention Training Moving beyond background noise to study instrumentation, arrangement, and emotion in music — and how building a “cinematic winter playlist” creates presence and pleasure without productivity. Inspired again by an amazing creator Owen Cutts !! 3️⃣ Slow Reading + Journaling for Deeper Thinking Pairing fiction and nonfiction, tracking themes, and practicing commonplace journaling to metabolize ideas rather than speed-consume books. Why This Matters Winter often reveals our overload. When the world feels heavy and cultural panic is escalating, it becomes easier to outsource our thinking, scroll instead of reflect, and numb instead of participate. These micro-rituals are small daily acts of resistance: Resistance to burnout Resistance to passive living Resistance to losing your point of view They are not dramatic. They are not monetizable. They are not optimized. But they are helping Erin feel like herself in one of the hardest winters she's had in a long time. And maybe they can help you too. A Gentle Invitation If you're feeling narrow, constricted, or numbed out this winter, ask yourself: What do I think? What do I want? Where is my attention going? You don't have to reinvent your life. You don't have to survive on autopilot. Choose one small ritual that shifts you from passive to deliberate. From outsourcing your mind to inhabiting it. Winter doesn't have to take everything from you.

Il tracciato gps di un furgone impegnato nelle classiche consegne porta a porta assomiglia ancora oggi a uno di quei pasticci che facciamo con la biro quando siamo piccoli. Che ci sia spazio per rendere questi spostamenti più razionali ed efficienti è evidente. Meno evidente è come riuscirci rispettando tutti i vincoli, quali quelli posti dalle consegne rapide, come sta facendo il gruppo MOVE. Il gruppo, composto da ricercatori del Politecnico di Milano, che dopo aver analizzato i tracciati degli spostamenti dei veicoli impegnati nella logistica dell'ultimo miglio, ha sviluppato una metodologia per posizionare dei micro-hub urbani, condivisi tra corrieri diversi e ottimizzati come location nella città, che possano fungere da punti di redistribuzione delle merci nelle immediati vicinanze. E il risultato è sorprendente: consegne più rapide, e meno 70% di km urbani percorsi e di emissioni; costi più bassi; meno veicoli in doppia fila. Ne parliamo con Silvia Strada, professoressa del Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informatica e Bioingegneria del Politecnico di Milano.

Financial freedom isn't built on vibes. It's built on behaviour. In this episode, Kehla sits down with wealth mentor Lorna Poole to unpack what actually creates financial independence for female entrepreneurs — especially when money feels messy. Most high-achieving women aren't struggling because they lack intelligence or strategy. They're stuck in avoidance, hyper-independence, or waiting to feel “safe” before changing their money habits. This conversation cuts through the noise and gets grounded in what truly shifts financial outcomes. Lorna shares how radical self-responsibility, micro-behavioral changes, and long-game thinking build real wealth — not emotional highs or manifestation aesthetics. Together, they explore: – Why paying yourself first matters (even if it's $5) – How your nervous system reacts when you start keeping money – The emotional patterns women carry into their financial decisions – The difference between revenue and true wealth – Why neutrality with money is power This episode is a candid look at debt, independence, partnership, and the subtle ways feelings can hijack financial leadership. Financial freedom isn't about the number. It's about who you become in the process of building it.

Sometimes the hardest seasons feel endless—but Jesus reminds us they are only “a little while.” In John 16, He prepares His disciples for deep sorrow, while pointing them to the unstoppable joy of the resurrection. What feels overwhelming in the moment is temporary in light of eternity. Because Christ lives, sorrow never gets the final word.BIBLE VERSE References: JOHN 16:16-33 | MARK 8:31-33 | MATTHEW 26:39 | 1 JOHN 5:14 | GENESIS 5:5 | JOHN 1:1-4 | 1 JOHN 1:5-7 | LUKE 15:7-10 | PSALM 22:1 | MARK 15:34 | REVELATION 21:4 | HEBREWS 11:39-40 | 1 CORINTHIANS 15:22 | NEHEMIAH 8:10 | LUKE 13:28 | MATTHEW 27:51 | ROMANS 8:37-39 | MATTHEW 10:28*Music tracks by Blue Dot Sessions titled “Glass Beads” and “Come As You Were” were featured in this episode

Your life isn't derailed by one big mistake — it's shaped by hundreds of tiny decisions you don't even remember making. Most people think success comes from massive breakthroughs or dramatic pivots. It doesn't. It comes from micro-decisions — the tiny, often unconscious choices you make every single day that quietly compound over time. In this episode of PivotMe, April breaks down how your smallest decisions are either putting you on a predictable trajectory toward success — or quietly pulling you off course. The scary part? Most of us don't even realize we're making them. You'll learn how unconscious habits drain your power, why remaking decisions daily is exhausting, and how to design your life so success becomes the default — not the exception. This episode is about awareness, ownership, and reclaiming control — one small decision at a time. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why the decisions you don't notice are often the most dangerous A personal story where one small choice snowballed into negative results Why successful people don't rely on motivation — they rely on systems How micro-decisions compound toward success or sabotage Why habits need time before you judge whether they "work" How to take your power back by making unconscious decisions conscious A simple challenge to audit your daily choices Key Quotes "It's the decisions we don't know we're making that get us into the most trouble." – April "Fall in love with the process, not the result. Love the habit, not just what it gets you." – April "When we appreciate the true effects of our micro-decisions, only then can we make the necessary adjustments." – April

This week's guest opens up about the shock of an emergency C-section at 25 weeks and 3 days, the fear of entering the NICU for the first time, and the powerful role Child Life Specialists played in supporting not only Vincent, but their entire family, including his older brother. She reflects on what helped her cope during long NICU days, how she advocated for herself using her healthcare background, and what she wishes she had known about the "medically complex" label sooner. This episode explores sibling bonding in the NICU, the impact of a truly integrated care team, the importance of addressing social determinants of health, and how resilience can grow in the smallest of patients. Anna's story is a beautiful reminder that families may not remember every name—but they will always remember how they were made to feel. Today's Episode is sponsored by Moog Medical.

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Eric Coffie sits down with logistics leaders Demetrius Walker (Fhito Logistics LLC) and Chris Facey (TForce Worldwide, Inc) to answer one of the biggest questions minority transportation businesses ask: Where are all the trucking and freight contracts? The conversation reveals a hard truth—most logistics opportunities never hit SAM.gov because they fall under the micro-purchase threshold, meaning the real work is won through market research, relationships, and being positioned before the bid ever drops. Eric also shares a powerful (and painful) reminder about execution in GovCon after missing out on a $200M IDIQ due to a submission error—proof that systems matter at every level. From small "hidden" trucking wins to major IDIQ contracts worth $21M+, this episode breaks down how logistics businesses can grow step-by-step by partnering with primes, responding fast, and becoming the trusted solution buyers call first. Key Takeaways: Most transportation contracts are relationship-driven, not publicly posted on SAM.gov Micro-purchase + simplified acquisition is the fastest entry point for small carriers Bigger wins come from teaming, responsiveness, and trust, not just chasing bids If you want to learn more about the community and to join the webinars go to: https://federalhelpcenter.com/ Website: https://govcongiants.org/ Connect with Encore Funding: http://govcongiants.org/funding Watch the Youtube Live here: https://www.youtube.com/live/_KK4x1Cmz0M?si=WvUkbnxdHplTrCTV

Christopher Rausch, host of Raw & Unscripted Podcast, and I need to be real with you. I'm the “No Excuses Coach,” but I'm not immune to hard days, fear, loneliness, brain fog, or the weight of what's happening in the world.This episode is me showing up heart-first—because if you're struggling, I want you to hear this loud and clear: you're not alone, and you're not broken. This episode touches on:The truth behind the smile: Why “looking fine” doesn't mean you are fine—and why honesty about your mental health is strength, not weakness.Control what you can: How to stop letting the headlines, social media, and other people's chaos hijack your nervous system—and bring it back to your choices today.Connection is survival: The loneliness problem is real (especially for men). I talk friendship, community, therapy, and why vulnerability is the bridge—not the weakness.Micro-moves that rebuild you: Sunshine, journaling, sleep, better inputs, a healthy escape (yes—even sim racing), small acts of service… and why tiny wins restore confidence.Here's the deal: life is going to keep “lifing.”But you don't get to opt out of your own responsibility. So today—do one thing that takes care of you, and do three things that help someone else. Then go to bed with pride, not regret.And if you need support, I'm here. Send me your question for next week's Q&A, and if you've never been coached by me—grab the complimentary 45-minute session.
