Are You Willing To Do What No One Else Will
You can be the best in the world at something — and still be terrified you'd quit if it ever got hard enough.This week, I sat down with Josh Thomson — a former UFC and PRIDE fighter, Strikeforce World Champion, and 20-year veteran of the sport. For most of his career he treated water, rest, and recovery like weaknesses. Coaches drilled it into him: waters for the weak. Twelve ounces a day. Protein shakes and grit.Then his dad died at 46. And everything changed.Here's what blew my mind: the real turning point in his career wasn't a fight — it was grief. Losing his father flipped a switch. Six liters of water a day. Electrolytes. Ice baths. Actual recovery. His performances exploded.He dropped a bomb about the supplement world too — fighters failing drug tests because of contaminated products they bought right off the shelf. What you're putting in your body might not be what the label says.And the part that stuck with me most? Josh believes 30 to 40 minutes of movement a day would erase most of our mental health struggles. Not the gym. Just a walk.We get into brain trauma, addiction as a superpower, why nobody remembers your name (not even Jordan's), and the note he wrote his kids that I'm stealing for my own.This conversation will change how you think about toughness, recovery, and what actually matters.What we talk about:Why "water's for the weak" was the mantra that wrecked his recoveryThe twelve-ounces-a-day habit he trained on for yearsHow losing his dad rebuilt his career almost overnightThe supplement contamination making fighters fail drug testsWhy the best athletes in the world are secretly addictsThe 30-minute daily habit he swears erases mental health strugglesThe note he wrote his kids that changed how they talk to himWhy nobody will remember your name — and why that's freeingListen now on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy DuhsEpisode Links & Resources:Podcasts: WEIGHING IN - https://linktr.ee/weighinginpodcast | Dad Dojo - https://www.youtube.com/@DadDojoPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealpunk/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
What if the thing holding you back is not the obstacle, but your inability to identify the real constraint? In this episode, Kevin and Alan walk through why people stay stuck when they solve the wrong problem. They discuss internal and external constraints, self-awareness, discipline, environment, goal alignment, and the level of execution required for meaningful progress.After thousands of episodes and years of coaching, Kevin and Alan have seen the same pattern again and again. Most people either lack the awareness to see the real issue or the consistency to do what the goal requires. Better results start with better diagnosis. Stop guessing, find the constraint, and build your life around solving it._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Rep. Nick Begich, R-Alaska, reached Congress by an unusual route: founding software companies and holding Bitcoin since 2013. BPI's David Zell sat down with him at PubKey to talk about how a builder's instincts shape the way he legislates, his bill to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the U.S., and the policy questions AI is raising faster than Washington can answer.The conversation covers everything from Begich's 440 coins on Mt. Gox to the American Reserve Modernization Act (ARMA). They dive into the ~93-year cycle of global reserve currencies, the "untethering" of money from scarcity, and Begich's belief that AI's hardest problem is the "disintermediation of purpose" rather than unemployment. They close on UBI, Alaska's Permanent Fund as a model of citizen ownership, and what's next for the budget and healthcare.Guest: Rep.

Why do high-performing men lose their identity in midlife? After 35 years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated, Dr. Kenneth Ro stepped back and named something he was seeing repeatedly. The men coming through his ER weren't just breaking down physically. They were losing their identity, their edge, and their sense of purpose. In this conversation, Larry Olsen sits down with Dr. Ro to talk about what happens when a man's identity gets fused to his profession, and what to do about it before it costs him his health, his relationships, or his career. What you'll hear: • The Triple Caretaker Effect and why most men get the order wrong • Why "midlife crisis" is the wrong frame and what Dr. Ro calls a midlife inflection point • The Stephen Covey line that most leaders have heard but very few apply: climbing the ladder against the wrong wall • Dr. Ro on why silence is a bigger health risk factor than blood pressure or cholesterol • What happens when I've attached who I am to what I do? ABOUT DR. KENNETH RO Dr. Kenneth Ro is a double board certified emergency physician with 35+ years on the front lines of emergency medicine and over 170,000 patients treated. He is the author of Prime: How to Win the Second Half of Life and the founder of the Reclaim Method, a framework helping high-performing men in midlife rebuild their health, clarity, and confidence. Dr. Ro practices in Cypress, Texas.

The answer lives beneath the excuse. In today's episode, Kevin and Alan examine why real progress starts with finding the constraint, not defending the symptom. Kevin uses a simple fitness and sleep example to show how quickly the mind reaches for easy labels, while Alan connects root cause analysis to coaching, performance, money, and relationships.With thousands of episodes and years of client work behind them, they make a grounded case for deeper thinking, clearer goals, and honest self-awareness. The goal is not to overthink. It is to think accurately enough to solve the right problem. Stop negotiating with symptoms. Find the root before it grows a personality._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Most athletes get talked out of Bitcoin by their financial advisors — Kenny Florian went the other way. The four-weight-class UFC veteran explains how he discovered Bitcoin after retiring, why he kept buying as his conviction grew, and how the fighter's mindset prepares you to ignore the noise when markets panic. He breaks down why he sees Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom and sovereignty, not just a price chart. Use code BM10 to get 10% off Bitcoin 2027 Conference in Nashville: https://2027.b.tc

Send us Fan MailHave you ever looked around at your life and thought, "Nothing is technically wrong... so why do I feel so disconnected from it?"That is exactly what we're diving into this week with speaker, coach, and author Iona Holloway.Iona's new book, Do the Brave Thing, starts with a question that hit me right between the eyes: What happens when you've done everything right, collected all the gold stars, built the life that looks impressive on paper... and still feel dead inside?In this conversation, Iona shares the rock bottom moment that forced her to confront a life built on perfectionism, achievement, and invisible suffering. We talk about the pressure so many women carry to be strong, capable, and endlessly high-functioning, and why those qualities can sometimes become the very thing keeping us stuck.One of my favorite parts of our conversation was Iona's distinction between being strong and being brave. Strength can look like gritting your teeth and carrying more than you should. Bravery asks something different. It asks you to listen to yourself, tell the truth about what you want, and tolerate the discomfort that comes with change.We also explored how fear disguises itself as practicality, perfectionism, procrastination, and even the stories we tell ourselves about why we're the exception. The woman who can't. The one for whom it's harder. The one who should wait until she's ready.Spoiler alert: ready is not coming.Iona shared her powerful "5 and 95 Rule," the idea that a brave life is one that makes five-year-old you happy and ninety-five-year-old you proud. It is simple, memorable, and honestly one of those ideas that lingers long after the conversation ends.If you've been quietly wondering whether there's more available to you than simply being impressive, this episode is your reminder that feeling alive matters too.What's Inside:Why being impressive and feeling alive are not the same thingThe difference between being strong and being braveHow fear hides inside perfectionism, procrastination, and practicalityIona's "5 and 95 Rule" for making braver decisionsThe thing I keep coming back to from this conversation is that bravery rarely looks cool. Most of the time it looks awkward, uncertain, and wildly uncomfortable. What's one brave thing you've been avoiding lately? DM me on Instagram…I'd genuinely love to hear your answer.

Most practice owners think team struggles come from staffing shortages, difficult personalities, or lack of motivation, but Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen challenge that assumption head-on. Dr. Pete frames the conversation around identifying the primary constraint limiting growth, while Dr. Stephen focuses on accountability as the force that turns busyness into productivity. Together, they unpack the “four rights” of building a high-performing team: right people, right positions, right work, and right way. Getting these “4 Rights” right starts with your hiring process. Set Expectations and Agreements early in the relationship - and make sure that they understand that your business is a “High Accountability" environment. Along the way, they reveal why A-Players thrive in accountable cultures, how unclear expectations quietly sabotage scalability, and why stronger leadership systems create greater focus, healthier culture, and sustainable growth. In This Episode You Will Learn: Why many teams stay busy all day while producing surprisingly little movement The hidden reason accountability systems fail even when leaders think they're “clear” A sharper framework for identifying whether the issue is the person, the seat, or the work itself What happens when A players are surrounded by unclear expectations and weak ownership The surprising connection between focus, productivity, profitability, and team alignment Episode Highlights 01:35 - A powerful vision emerges around identifying the single team constraint quietly limiting growth and scalability 02:43 - Counterintuitive insight reveals why most practice owners have a focus problem instead of an effort problem 04:21 - Accountability gets reframed as the force that transforms motion into measurable movement 05:44 - A deeper look at A players exposes why great team members actually demand accountability 07:07 - Positioning takes center stage as leaders confront the costly mistake of placing people outside their zone of genius 08:37 - Practical strategy separates roles, responsibilities, and outcomes into a framework teams can actually execute 10:56 - A sharp hiring distinction reveals why CEOs should stop selling candidates into the job 14:45 - A compelling leadership challenge emerges around creating measurable ownership instead of vague expectations 16:49 - Early hiring mistakes expose how fast-moving CEOs unintentionally sabotage team quality 21:00 - Vision for a world-class team comes alive through the metaphor of a band where every player owns their role 22:35 - The real financial cost of weak accountability surfaces through productivity, profitability, and team optimization metrics 27:58 - Stephanie Dove Blake from Success Partner Social Sparrow joins Dr. Pete to share her personal journey from witnessing the impact of chronic pain to helping chiropractors reach more patients through digital marketing. They discuss lead generation, patient conversion, AI, and the systems Social Sparrow uses to help practices attract, book, and serve more people.

"I can't sell Harman because there's a dealer too close to me, but I'd donate a kidney and my firstborn to get it." In this episode, Tim sits down with Dane Harman, Karen Harman-Smeltz, and Peter Parsons to trace how a burn pot rooted in anthracite coal became the backbone of one of the hearth industry's most beloved pellet stoves—and what it takes to keep innovating decades later. Dane built Harman Stoves into a legend, Karen carried its values forward, and Peter built a pellet market from almost nothing on an island ninety miles out in the Atlantic. In this episode, Tim, Dane, Karen, and Peter cover: - Why Dane's 1991 Pellet Pro feeder still works today—and how a coal-pushing block evolved into a laser-cut slide plate that runs entirely on temperature. - The real difference between a private company's "right" decision and a public one's—and why a profitable model can still get killed to protect a stock price. - Whether tightening EPA regulations actually force better stoves or just strip the fun out of innovation—and where diminishing returns turn good intentions into expensive ones. Don't miss the moment Dane explains why deciding—truly deciding—pulls a whole team behind you, because this conversation about fire, family, and pressure-fueled innovation will change how you think about building anything worth keeping. —— Links from this episode: Big Enough: Building a Business that Scales with Your Lifestyle https://a.co/d/0e8WRuD7 Fire Time Podcast Q&A Episode http://itsfiretime.com/ask —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nXru0bLymCQ Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join
What happens when you realize your voice carries more weight than you ever imagined? Olivia pulls back the curtain on the hidden responsibility that comes with speaking into a microphone, sharing the profound moment she discovered podcasting isn't just content creation-it's stewardship. When she was laid off from Lockheed Martin at 4 PM and still showed up to record at 6 PM, everything changed about how she understood the relationship between host and listener. This isn't about perfection or having all the answers; it's about the intentional presence that separates content from genuine impact.You'll discover why podcasting behaves differently from social media, how listeners invite you into their most private moments, and the framework Olivia uses to navigate responsibility before, during, and after the mic turns on. She reveals the uncomfortable truth about when sharing becomes oversharing, why restraint is sometimes the most ethical choice, and how presence matters more than polish. Whether you're hosting conversations or stepping into someone else's show, this episode will shift how you think about the weight your words carry and the trust you're given every time someone chooses to listen.Want to grow your podcast, land more guest appearances, and save hours every week?

When life feels overwhelming, sometimes the most productive thing you can do is step away from the noise and create space to reconnect with yourself. In this episode, Mardi Winder sits down with Ellen Whiteside, owner of Sacred Grove Retreat Center and host of Mindset and Miracles, to explore the transformative power of retreats and why they can be especially valuable during times of change, loss, divorce, grief, or personal transition. Ellen shares her journey from massage therapist to retreat center owner and discusses how a series of unexpected life events led her to create a sanctuary dedicated to healing, reflection, and personal growth. Mardi and Ellen talk about the importance of stepping away from daily responsibilities, disconnecting from constant distractions, and giving yourself permission to focus on your own needs for a change. They also discuss the difference between group retreats and private retreats, the role of intentional practices such as journaling and meditation, and how rituals can help support personal transformation. Ellen explains how creating space for reflection can help people process major life changes and begin to envision what comes next. The conversation also explores the power of mindset, personal responsibility, intuition, and the importance of choosing thoughts that support growth rather than limitation. Whether you are navigating divorce, grief, burnout, or simply feeling stuck, this episode offers valuable insights into creating the space needed for healing and renewal. Mardi and Ellen discuss:• Why retreats have become an increasingly popular tool for healing and self discovery• The benefits of stepping away from daily responsibilities during major life transitions• The difference between group retreats and private retreat experiences• How journaling, reflection, and intentional practices support personal growth• The connection between mindset and creating positive change in your life• Why giving yourself permission to receive support is an important part of healing• The value of creating time and space to reconnect with yourself and your future vision• How small shifts in perspective can create powerful resultsAbout the Guest:Ellen Whiteside has been the owner of Sacred Grove Retreat Center, a sanctuary for transformation and soul-led living, for the past 20 years.

Your podcast can be heartfelt and still be strategic. I'm joined by Jordan Blair, a podcast producer at Buzzsprout and co-host of BuzzCast, to unpack the real-world basics that separate podcasts that fade out from podcasts that grow. We start with something deceptively simple: your “why.” Jordan shares how clarity of purpose shapes everything from topic choices to guest selection to podcast marketing, and why listeners only return when they know exactly what they'll get every time they press play.From there, we get practical about podcast audio quality and listener experience. Jordan explains why “good enough” audio is mostly about removing distractions, and how modern tools can help indie creators sound polished without a studio. Then we move into the part most creators underestimate: engagement. We talk parasocial relationships, how to turn listeners into superfans, and how features like Buzzsprout Fan Mail can make it easy for people to reach you with feedback, questions, and even voice messages you can use in future episodes.We also cover consistency without burnout, including giving yourself permission to take a break, how to communicate it clearly, and how Dynamic Content can place a timely announcement across your back catalog and remove it later. Finally, Jordan breaks down podcast monetization without the pressure, why listener support can beat ads, and how sponsorships can create stress if you're not careful. If you're starting a podcast, restarting after a slump, or trying to make your show sustainable, you'll leave with concrete next steps.Link to Buzzsprout's official podcast about podcasting!Subscribe to Connect Inspire Create for more grounded creator conversations, share this with a podcaster friend, and if it helps you, leave a quick review so more indie creators can find it.Let me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

The Communication Expert: The No.1 Skill AI Can't Replace | Matt AbrahamsMatt Abrahams has spent nearly two decades teaching the one skill almost no one is formally trained in: how to communicate. He's a lecturer in Strategic Communication at Stanford's Graduate School of Business, the bestselling author of "Think Faster, Talk Smarter" and "Speaking Up Without Freaking Out," and the host of the "Think Fast, Talk Smart" podcast.In a world racing toward AI, Matt makes a counterintuitive case: the more capable our machines become, the more our human ability to connect, persuade, and be understood will decide who thrives and who gets left behind.In this episode, Jessica Neal and Jeff Marquitz sit down with Matt to unpack the science and the practice of communication. They get into the "authenticity crisis" and the "empathy paradox" emerging as we hand our hardest conversations to AI, why up to 85% of people freeze in high-stakes moments, and the exact, repeatable techniques to manage that anxiety in real time.Matt doesn't speak in abstractions. He breaks communication down into mindset and messaging, shares the only three ways anyone actually gets good at it, and walks through how to build a personal "anxiety management plan" you can use before your next big meeting or talk. He also explains why most companies treat communication as an afterthought, and how founders can turn it into a genuine competitive advantage.If you've ever gone silent in a room full of people who intimidate you, or felt your body betray you on stage, this conversation is a practical playbook for showing up clearer, calmer, and more human.————————————————————TOPICS COVERED– Why AI makes human connection more important, not less– The "authenticity crisis": when perfect words stop feeling like yours– The "empathy paradox" and the risk of empathy atrophy– The evolutionary reason public speaking terrifies us– The three sources of speaking anxiety: audience, situation, and goal– Physical techniques to calm nerves in the moment– The only three ways to get good at communication: repetition, reflection, feedback– How to build your own anxiety management plan– Why communication should be taught in schools and modeled at work– Mindset and messaging: why you can't separate the two– Building a "communication infrastructure" inside a company– Why "getting it out" is not the same as being understood– Giving vs. getting: how the goal changes the conversation– Matt's nightly journaling practice for improving over time————————————————————

Hi Mamas, Have you ever found yourself saying:
In this episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros break down how self-belief shapes identity, learning, and long-term success. Kevin reflects on an old dream that once felt impossible and reveals the deeper lesson: most limits are accepted internally before reality ever tests them.They discuss fantasy, visualization, rumination, action, insecurity, and the role of better questions in real growth. Belief matters, but only when it turns into skill, consistency, and self-awareness. Belief opens the door. Skill keeps you from getting escorted out._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Everyone wants to know how "bounce back" after having a baby. The truth is, that's not the goal. In this episode, I'm sharing my postpartum fitness plan and the approach I'll be taking during those first weeks and months after birth. Instead of jumping straight into workouts, fat loss, or trying to get my body back as quickly as possible, I'll be prioritizing recovery, sleep, healing, and listening to what my body actually needs. I'll walk you through what my first few weeks postpartum may look like, including why I plan to spend most of the first week resting, when I might begin incorporating light walks and mobility work, and how I'll use my body's feedback, not a rigid timeline, to guide the process. We'll also talk about why pelvic floor health is at the center of my recovery plan and why I believe every woman should consider working with a pelvic floor physical therapist before problems arise, not just after. I'll share why I won't be rushing back into intense cardio, despite the pressure many women feel to lose baby weight as quickly as possible. We'll also discuss the truth about waist trainers, why external support can actually delay core recovery, and what a healthier approach to rebuilding strength looks like. Most importantly, I'm talking about something I think every new mom struggles with: comparison. Because no two postpartum journeys are the same, and comparing your recovery, body, or timeline to someone else's is one of the fastest ways to create unnecessary stress and frustration. If you're pregnant, postpartum, or simply curious about a more sustainable approach to recovery after birth, this episode will give you an honest look at how I'm thinking about this next chapter and why slower may actually be the smarter path forward.

She also guides you through a simple practice you can return to whenever life, work, family, or your practice feels too heavy.

Send us Fan MailWhat if conscious leadership begins with the part of your life you keep trying not to own? In today's episode, we get honest about self-leadership, personal responsibility, conscious growth, and the quiet daily choices that shape who you become. Leadership is not reserved for people with titles, teams, platforms, or authority. It starts in the private moments, especially when pain, fear, old patterns, and resistance make the easier path feel reasonable.We look at what it means to lead yourself first, how unconscious patterns can keep dysfunction alive, and why one harder decision can shift the way you show up in your life, relationships, and future. Stop waiting for life to hand you authority. Become the person your next chapter can safely follow.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation:#510 | How to Cultivate a Conscious Leader's Mindset - https://apple.co/4uzFAPOLearn more about:
The reason your ideal clients aren't buying might have nothing to do with your offer.Dr. Kasey Jo Orvidas introduces her concept of the "root belief," the one thing your ideal client needs to believe before any of your content, copy, or offer can actually land. If that belief isn't there, it doesn't matter how good your testimonials are or how clearly you've laid out your program.She covers:What a root belief is and why it drives every buying decision your ideal client makesWhy coaches with great content and strong offers still struggle to convertHow to identify your own root belief and what to do if you can'tWhere the root belief should show up (and often doesn't) across your content, lead magnets, emails, and sales pageWhy the same psychological mechanism that determines whether your clients change is what determines whether someone buys from you If you've ever had someone DM you, engage with your content, and still not buy, this one's for you.Applications for the Growth Collective are OPEN June 15-17 (HMCC STUDENTS ONLY)Connect with me on Instagram!

What if the thing standing between you and your dream... is your fear of failing?(Watch the full video interview on YouTube here. https://youtu.be/nEINMa-lDJU)Scott Scovill (www.scottscovill.com and https://tenaciousbook.com/ ) was flunking out of college, waiting tables, and terrified to try when a chance encounter with a touring crew from U2 changed everything. Two years later, he was on tour with the Rolling Stones. (whaaaaat??!) But this isn't a story about fame.It's a story about what happens when you stop letting fear make your decisions...true Dancing in the Discomfort Zone territory.In this powerful conversation, Scott shares how he learned to keep going despite anxiety, rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt, and why tenacity isn't about stubbornly and stupidly banging your head against a wall. It's about refusing to give up on the destination, even when you need a new route. In this episode we talk about: Why fear can be both your greatest enemy and your greatest motivator The difference between being stubborn and being tenacious What the Rolling Stones taught Scott about chasing impossible dreams The fact that successful people fail more often than most people realize How to know when it's time to pivot instead of quit The surprising truth Taylor Swift shared about success and fear Why life is a team sport—and you shouldn't do it alone If you've ever wondered if you should keep going, change direction, or finally take the leap, this episode is for you.Because the dream isn't found in the comfort. It's on the other side of trying.

Combat sports don't fit neatly into a rehab template. The demands are different, the risk tolerance is different, and the athlete in front of you is wired differently than anyone else you'll treat.
