Hello IMPACT SHOW passengers, this is your captain speaking —Todd Durkin, coming to you LIVE from 35,000 feet altitude somewhere between San Diego and Whitefish, Montana!  This one's different as I could not contain my excitement enroute to Montana for our annual Mountain Retreat. I just HAD to hit record because my mind was in major FLOW mode and the lessons were downloading!  This episode is all about MINDSET — how to stay calm in chaos, find clarity in the climb, and keep your faith strong even when life gets turbulent. Because just like flying, life doesn't always give you smooth air. But you can always control your response, your attitude, and your altitude.  Here's What You'll Learn in Episode 453: 1. You Can't Control the Turbulence — But You CAN Control Your Response. Life's gonna shake you. Business dips, plans get flipped, curveballs come outta nowhere. But high performers? They don't panic — we breathe, we stay calm, and we trust our training. I share exactly what happened on my flight this past week and how to navigate life's storms with poise, peace, and purpose. 2. High Altitude = High Awareness. When you rise above the weeds, you see the big picture. Up here, the clarity is unreal. I talk about how to "get above the noise" so you can see your mission, your purpose, and your life from a higher perspective — because clarity doesn't come in chaos; it comes in stillness. And you can't see the vision when you're stuck on the runway. 3. Pre-Flight Rituals = Peak Performance Habits. Every pilot has a pre-flight checklist — and you need one too. I walk you through my own daily ritual: movement, gratitude, journaling, & prayer. These habits anchor me, fuel me, and set the tone for the day. Because I'm telling you — when you win the morning…you win the day; and when you win the day(s)…you ultimately win the weeks, months, quarters, and year(s). 4. Your Final Destination Is Determined by Your Dreams. We all need more "blue-sky" time. We all need more "white-space" in our daily rituals. It's powerful to have some built-in, regular time to write, think, dream, and ultimately do. That's why I'm also firing off 10 powerful questions to get you dreaming again — your Big 5 for Life, your Big 5 for 2026, and what God is whispering in this season. Don't drift. Don't settle. And now is a GREAT time of the year to start 'dreaming.' 5. Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude. You cannot fly high if you're surrounded by people who live low. Protect your energy. Fuel your mind with gratitude and growth. Surround yourself with people who elevate, inspire, and challenge you. Because the higher you go, the thinner the air — and the fewer the distractions. Key Takeaways: Mindset determines your mission. You can't control the turbulence, but you can control your response. Calm is a superpower. Gratitude is rocket fuel. Dream boldly. Live purposefully. Fly with faith. The world needs your energy, faith, and fire — at full altitude. My friends — life's going to have turbulence. We are going to have seasons where life is "bumpy" to say the least. It's important during those times to stay calm; Stay grateful; Stay focused; and stay tapped-in. Keep your seatbelt fastened, your faith strong, and your mindset sky-high. It's time for take-off…it's time for IGNITION!

Why Are People So Insecure About Aging and Getting Older?

Megan chats with Zoe Forestier about using structure, batching, and mindful planning to protect your energy, sustain creativity, and actually enjoy the blogging journey, especially during high-pressure seasons. Zoe is the voice behind Girl Meets Fire, where she shares Puerto Rican recipes with a global audience. Her work blends tradition with modern strategies, from food photography to SEO-driven content planning. Alongside the blog, she developed the Firestarter Planner, a tool designed to help food bloggers streamline their workflows, track ideas, and stay consistent without burning out. Her passion lies in making content creation manageable and sustainable for fellow bloggers. Food blogging can feel like juggling a dozen spinning plates. Zoe has found a system that keeps her grounded. She shares how she uses planning as both a productivity and mindset tool. From batching content before Q4 chaos to color-coding creative focus, she teaches us how organization can actually spark more joy.  Key points discussed include: Structure sparks freedom: Systems don't cage creativity, they protect it. Plan ahead for peace: Treat each quarter like a recipe and prep the ingredients early. Batch like a pro: Group similar tasks to save mental energy and time. Mindset over hustle: Your planner can become a self-care practice, not a stress list. Simplify your workspace: One planner beats seven notebooks every time. Build in joy: Scheduling breaks and simple rituals keeps burnout at bay. Stay consistent, not perfect: Progress compounds when you stop starting over. Ground yourself in purpose: Every quarter, revisit why you started, then plan from there. Connect with Zoe Forestier Firestarter Planner Website | Instagram

In this power-packed episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Chris Duffin — legendary strength athlete, mechanical engineer, entrepreneur, and one of the most respected voices in human performance and biological optimization.   Chris shares his unbelievable story of survival, resilience, and reinvention, and reveals a framework that's helping high-performing men rebuild purpose, identity, and physical vitality — especially after career success turns into stagnation, burnout, or loss of drive.   Whether you're a business leader, former athlete, father, or high performer who knows you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you and equip you to break through the plateau and reclaim the edge.   About Chris Duffin Chris "The Mad Scientist" Duffin is a world-record-setting powerlifter, bestselling author, biomechanical genius, and the founder of Kabuki Strength and multiple human-performance companies. He has worked with: Every major league baseball team 90% of the NBA 80% of the NFL Elite military operators Hollywood action performers High-net-worth executives + former steroid-enhanced athletes After surviving a traumatic upbringing and rising to become a top executive, world-class strength athlete, and multimillion-dollar founder, Chris devoted his life to helping people build resilience and optimize human biology for peak performance and longevity. He now coaches individuals and professionals through biomechanics, peptides, mitochondrial repair, hormone optimization, and cellular-level resilience.   Key Takeaways ✔ Comfort is the new danger. Men don't just break down at rock bottom — many collapse at rock top after success leads to stagnation and meaninglessness.   ✔ Growth requires resistance. Just like muscles atrophy in a cast, the mind and soul weaken without intentional challenge.   ✔ The Six P's of Growth: Precipice → Plunge → Pit → Pole → Peak → Plateau You must choose the plunge before life forces you into it.   ✔ Fear isn't the enemy. True strength is remaining self-aware inside stress — neither paralyzed by fear nor reckless without it.   ✔ Mindset alone is not enough. If your biology is compromised — hormones, mitochondria, inflammation — you're fighting your own physiology every day.   ✔ Modern men can reclaim energy and clarity. Peptides, hormone alignment, mitochondrial support, and circadian rhythm optimization can reverse brain fog, low drive, recovery issues, and emotional instability.   ✔ The Superhuman life = value-aligned living. Not achievement — but building a life where your actions express who you were created to be.   Peptides & Optimization Mentioned Chris shares a high-level overview of cutting-edge regenerative and performance-boosting tools, including:   CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (GH optimization) TRT micro-dosing aligned with circadian rhythm BPC-157, TB-500, KPV (gut & tissue repair) Alcar, ketones, urolithin A (metabolic support) SLUPP 3-3-2, MOTS-C, SS-31 (mitochondrial restoration) (Not medical advice — consult a qualified professional before applying.)   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ  

Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset episode dives into the real meaning of forgiveness… and why it's something we do for ourselves, not for the other person. Our inspiration comes from Maya Angelou's quote, “Forgiveness is not something we do for others. We do it for ourselves, to get well and move on.”

TSN Hockey Analyst Bruce Boudreau joined OverDrive to discuss the headlines around the Maple Leafs' losing streak, the main problems leading to the downfall, how Craig Berube can right the ship, the Canadian teams that can make the playoffs and more.

If slowing down feels wrong but your body is begging for rest, this episode is for you. In this episode, I'm talking to the woman who has always been the go-hard achiever — the early workouts, the hustle, the I-don't-need-rest mindset.  But now your body feels like it's pushing back, and slowing down feels uncomfortable or even scary. I've been there, and I want to help you make sense of what your body is trying to say. Instead of guessing or feeling guilty,  I'm giving you a simple, practical five-question check-in to help you know whether your body needs rest or whether gentle movement will actually make you feel better. Because in a healing season, both rest and movement are powerful — it's just about choosing the right one for the day you're in.  You'll learn why the signals you're feeling are a sign of recovery, not failure. I'll walk you through what this looks like in different phases of healing — from burnout, to rebuilding, to thriving again. We'll also talk about the mental side of this: letting go of the belief that discipline only counts when you push harder.  Resting doesn't make you weak. It makes you wiser. And the more you listen to your body, the faster your energy, hormones, and confidence return.  By the end of this episode, you'll have a tool you can use anytime you're unsure of what your body needs. This is how you build trust with yourself again — one decision at a time. So take a breath, tune in, and let's help your body feel safe and strong again.  Time Stamps: (1:17) Mood Lighting(2:02) Pulling Back From Exercise(5:47) Movement and Discipline(8:14) Your Hormones Are Recalibrating(9:59) #1: How Did I Sleep Last Night?(11:57) If You're Averaging 5-6 Hours of Sleep A Night(13:12) #2: My Stress Level From 1-10(14:32) #3: How Does My Body Feel Physically?(16:00) #4: What's My Emotional State?(17:41) #5: How Do I Think I'll Feel After?(21:56) Save This One For The Future---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

In today's episode, Josh Hillis joins us again for a practical and refreshingly honest conversation about skill-building, emotional eating, perfectionism, and the messy, human reality of behavior change. We dive into what it really means to practice eating skills, why the checkbox is the practice, not the outcome, and how the pursuit of excellence looks a whole lot more like peaceful striving than perfection. Josh breaks down the “training-wheels” approach that helps people build confidence slowly, intentionally, and compassionately, instead of swinging between rigid control and all-or-nothing chaos.You'll hear us talk about emotional eating without shame, how to navigate food without relying on strict diet rules, and why the most meaningful changes happen when you stop waiting to “feel ready” and instead get in the game: fumble around, learn, adjust, and keep going. If you're someone who's been stuck in the cycle of trying, “failing,” quitting, and starting over…this episode is the permission slip and the roadmap you've been searching for.“The checkbox is the practice, not the outcome. The outcome comes later.”- Josh Hillis“The number one predictor of eating-behavior change is willingness to feel..”- Josh HillisThis week on Here's the Deal:Why practicing skills (not accomplishing them) is the real path to sustainable eating behavior change.How pausing before eating builds agency and separates wanting from choosing.Why emotional eating can be intentional, values-aligned, and not something to fear.A training-wheels approach to navigating “trigger foods” without overwhelm or blowouts.How perfectionism leads to more quitting, not better resultsWhat pursuit of excellence actually looks like.Why “easy practice” matters more than tackling the hardest food in the hardest situation.How tracking something (skills, not just calories) helps maintain structure without slipping into diet culture.Why the magic happens when you allow yourself to learn, fumble, and layer skills over time—with patience and compassion.Connect with Josh Hillis:Cravings, Emotionally Flexibility, and Your Goals with Josh HillisJosh Hillis on InstagramJosh Hillis WebsiteEating Skills Class: Three Foundational SkillsFat Loss Happens on a Monday BookLean and Strong BookThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Here's the Deal: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

When police arrested Bryan Kohberger — the criminology Ph.D. student accused of murdering four University of Idaho students — they found a single book with underlining on page 118. Months later, reporting from the Idaho Statesman revealed that book was Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers — a self-help classic about conquering fear through action. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we dig into what that detail really means. Was Kohberger simply reading a popular motivational book? Or was he absorbing a philosophy that, in his hands, took on something much darker? Tony breaks down how Jeffers' message — “The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it” — could have resonated with Kohberger's obsessive need for control and dominance. Through psychological analysis and factual reporting, this episode explores how self-help principles can be warped by pathological minds — transforming courage into justification, empowerment into entitlement, and action into violence. We examine the context of the discovery, Kohberger's academic writings about “emotions and criminal decision-making,” and his disturbing fascination with overcoming hesitation. The result is a chilling portrait of a man who may have misread a book about personal growth as a guide to fearlessness at any cost. It's not about blame. It's about understanding how ordinary ideas can become extraordinary distortions inside extraordinary minds.

BONUS: Flawless Execution — Translating Fighter Pilot Precision to Business Results In this powerful conversation, former fighter pilot Christian "Boo" Boucousis reveals how military precision translates into agile business leadership. We explore the FLEX model (Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief), the critical difference between control-based and awareness-based leadership, and why most organizations fail to truly embrace iterative thinking. From Cockpit to Boardroom: An Unexpected Journey "I learned over time that it doesn't matter what you do if you're always curious, and you're always intentional, and you're always asking questions." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian's path from fighter pilot to leadership consultant wasn't planned—it was driven by necessity and curiosity. After 11 years as a fighter pilot (7 in Australia, 4 in the UK), an autoimmune condition ended his flying career at age 30. Rather than accepting a comfy job flying politicians around, he chose entrepreneurship. He moved to Afghanistan with a friend and built a reconstruction company that grew to a quarter billion dollars in four years. The secret? The debrief skills he learned as a fighter pilot. By constantly asking "What are you trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is there a gap?" he approached business with an agile mindset before he even knew what agile was. This curiosity-driven, question-focused approach became the foundation for everything that followed. The FLEX Model: Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief "Agile and scrum were co-created by John Sutherland, who was a fighter pilot, and its origins sit in the OODA loop and iteration. Which is why it's a circle." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The FLEX model isn't new—fighter pilots have used this Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief cycle for 60 years. It's the ultimate simple agile model, designed to help teams accelerate toward goals using the same accelerated learning curve the Air Force uses to train fighter pilots. The key insight: everything in this model is iterative, not linear. Every mission has a start, middle, and end, and every stage involves constant adaptation. Afterburner (the company Christian now leads as CEO) has worked with nearly 3,800 companies and 2.8 million people over 30 years, teaching this model. What's fascinating is that the DNA of agile is baked into fighter pilot thinking—John Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, wrote the foreword for Christian's book "The Afterburner Advantage" because they share the same roots in the OODA loop and iterative thinking. Why Iterative Thinking Doesn't Come Naturally "Iterative thinking is not a natural human model. Most of the time we learn from mistakes. We don't learn as a habit." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Here's the hard truth: agile as a way of working is very different from the way human beings naturally think. Business leadership models still hark back to Frederick Winslow Taylor's 1911 book on scientific management—industrial era leadership designed for building buildings, not creating software. Time is always linear (foundation, then structure, then finishing), and this shapes how we think about planning. Humans also tend to organize like villages with chiefs, warriors, and gatherers—hierarchical and political. Fighter pilots created a parallel system where politics exist outside missions, but during execution, personality clashes can't interfere. The challenge for business isn't the method—it's getting human minds to embrace iteration as a habit, not just a process they follow when forced. Planning: Building Collective Consciousness, Not Task Lists "Planning isn't all about sequencing actions—that's not planning. That's the byproduct of planning, which is collectively agreeing what good looks like at the end." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Most people plan in their head or in front of a spreadsheet by themselves. That's not planning—that's collecting thoughts. Real planning means bringing everyone on the team together to build collective consciousness about what's possible. The plan is always "the best idea based on what we know now." Once airborne, everything changes because the enemy doesn't cooperate with your plan. Planning is about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about airline pilots: they don't tell you about traffic delays on their commute or maintenance issues. They say "Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early." That's a brief—just the effect on you based on all their work. Most business meetings waste 55 minutes on backstory and 5 minutes deciding to have another meeting. Fighter pilots focus entirely on: What are we trying to achieve? What might get in the way? Let's go. Briefing: The 25-Minute Focus Window "You need 25 minutes of focus before your brain really focuses on the task. You program your brain for the mission at hand." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The brief is the moment between planning and execution when the plan is as accurate as it'll ever get. It's called "brief" for a reason—it's really short. The team checks that everyone understands the plan in today's context, accounting for last-minute changes (broken equipment, weather, personnel changes). Then comes the critical part: creating the mission bubble. From the brief until mission end, there are no distractions, no notifications. If someone tries to interrupt a fighter pilot walking to the jet, the response is clear: "I'm in my mission bubble. No distractions." This isn't optional—research shows it takes 25 minutes of uninterrupted focus before your brain truly locks onto a task. Yet most business leaders expect constant availability, with notifications pinging every few minutes. If you need everyone to have notifications on to run your business, you're doing a really bad job at planning. Execution: Awareness-Based Leadership vs. Control-Based Leadership "The reason we have so many meetings is because the leader is trying to control the situation and own all the awareness. It's not humanly possible to do that." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   During execution, fighter pilots fly the plan until it doesn't work anymore—then they adapt. A mission commander might lead 70 airplanes, but can't possibly track all 69 others. Instead, they create "gates"—checkpoints where everyone confirms they're in the right place within 10 seconds. They plan for chaos, creating awareness points where the team is generally on track or not. The key shift: from control-based leadership (the leader tries to control everything) to awareness-based leadership (the leader facilitates and listens for divergences). This includes "subordinated leadership"—any of the four pilots in a formation can take the lead if they have better awareness. If a wingman calls out a threat the leader doesn't see, the immediate response is "Press! You take the lead." This works because they planned for it and have criteria. Business teams profess to want this kind of agile collaboration, but struggle because they haven't invested in the planning and shared understanding that makes fluid leadership transitions possible. Abort Criteria: Knowing When to Stop "We have this concept called abort criteria. If certain criteria are hit, we abort the mission. I think that's a massive opportunity for business." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   There are degrees of things going wrong: a little bit, a medium amount, and everything going wrong. When everything's going wrong, fighter pilots stop and turn around—they don't keep pressing a bad situation. This "abort criteria" concept is massively underutilized in business. Too often, teams press bad situations, transparency disappears, people stop talking, and everyone goes into survival mode (protect myself, blame others). This never happens with fighter pilots. If something goes wrong, they take accountability and make the best decision. The most potent team size is four people: a leader, deputy leader, and two wingmen. This small team size with clear roles and shared abort criteria creates psychological safety to call out problems and adapt quickly. The Retrospective Mindset: Not Just a Ritual "A retrospective isn't a ritual. It's actually a way of thinking. It's a cognitive model. If you approached everything as a retrospective—what are we trying to achieve? How's it going? Why is it not going where we want? What's the one action to get back on track?" — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   The debrief—the retrospective—is the most important part of fighter pilot culture translated into agile. It's not just a meeting you have at the end of a sprint. It's a mindset you apply to everything: projects, relationships, personal development. Christian introduces "Flawless Leadership" built on three M's: Method (agile practices), Mindset (growth mindset developed through acting iteratively), and Moments (understanding when to show up as a people leader vs. an impact leader). The biggest mistake in technology: teams do retrospectives internally but don't include the business. They get a brief from the business, build for two months, come back, and the business says "What is this? This isn't what I expected." If they'd had the business in every scrum, every iteration, trust would build naturally. Everyone involved in the mission must be part of the planning, briefing, executing, and debriefing. Leading in the Moment: Three Layers of Leadership "Your job as a scrum master, as a leader—it doesn't matter if you're leading a division of people—is to be aware. And you're only going to be aware by listening." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian breaks leadership into three layers: People Leadership (political, emotional, dealing with personalities and overwhelm), Impact Leadership (the agile layer, results-driven, scientific), and Leading Now (the reactive, amygdala-driven panic response when things go wrong). The mistake: mixing these layers. Don't try to be a people leader during execution—that's not the time. But if you're really good at impact leadership (planning, breaking epics into stories, getting work done), you become high trust and high credibility. People leadership becomes easier because success eliminates excuses. During execution, watch for individual traits and blind spots. Use one-on-ones with a retrospective mindset: "What does good look like for you? How do we get to where you're not frustrated?" When leaders aren't present—checking phones and watches during meetings—they lose people. Your job as a leader is to turn your ears on, facilitate (not direct), and listen for divergences others don't see. The Technology-Business Disconnect "Every time you're having a scrum, every time you're coming together to talk about the product, just have the business there with you. It's easy." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   One of the biggest packages of work Afterburner does: technology teams ask them to help build trust with the business. The solution is shockingly simple—include the business in every scrum, every planning session, every retrospective. Agile is a tech-driven approach, creating a disconnect. Technology brings overwhelming information about how hard they're working and problems they've solved, but business doesn't care about the past. They care about the future: what are you delivering and when? During the Gulf War, the military scaled this fighter pilot model to large-scale planning. Fighter pilots work with marines, special forces, navy, CIA agents—everyone is part of the plan. If one person is missing from planning, execution falls apart. If someone on the ground doesn't know how an F-18 works, the jet is just expensive decoration. Planning is about learning what everyone else does and how to support them best—not announcing what you'll do and how you'll do it. High-Definition Destinations: Beyond Goals "Planning is all about the destination, not the work to get there. Think about when you hop on an airplane—the pilot doesn't tell you the whole backstory. They say 'Welcome aboard, our destination is Amsterdam, there's weather on the way, we'll land 5 minutes early.' All you want is the effect on you." — Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian uses the term "High-Definition Destinations" rather than goals. The difference is clarity and vividness. When you board a plane, you don't get the pilot's commute story or maintenance details—you get the destination, obstacles, and estimated arrival. That's communication focused on effect, not process. Most business communication does the opposite: overwhelming context, backstory, and detail, with the destination buried somewhere in the middle. The brief should always be: Here's where we're going. Here's what might get in the way. Let's go. This communication style—focused on outcomes and effects rather than processes and problems—transforms how teams align and execute. It eliminates the noise and centers everyone on what actually matters: the destination.   About Christian "Boo" Boucousis   Christian "Boo" Boucousis is a former fighter pilot who now helps leaders navigate today's fast-moving world.

Feeling trapped in the same emotional patterns, repeating the same habits, and postponing their dreams can quietly drain years off someone's life. Liv Colbert, former secondary school teacher turned life, health, and mindset coach, joins Avik to unpack how mindset medicine can interrupt these loops. The conversation explores identity, subconscious programming, identity lag, and the real courage it takes to choose alignment over comfort. This episode brings a grounded, practical, and forward-thinking take on self reinvention across mental health, mindset coaching, and personal transformation. About the Guest  : Liv  Colbear  is a certified Life, Health, and Mindset Coach who left her teaching career to rebuild her life with purpose. She specializes in NLP, subconscious reprogramming, and practical mindset work that helps women break unhelpful patterns, strengthen confidence, and create aligned lives without overwhelm. After a year of traveling and redefining her identity, she now empowers others to make decisive, courageous shifts through mindset mastery and self leadership. Key Takeaways  : Feeling stuck often comes from subconscious programming that keeps people in familiar patterns even when the conscious mind wants change. Comfort is often disguised as stability. Reinvention requires stepping into discomfort so a new identity can take shape. Identity lag is real. The mind needs time to catch up with the new version of you. Procrastination masked as “one day I'll do it” is a subtle form of self sabotage. Awareness is the first step. Mapping repeated emotional patterns or life experiences reveals where subconscious habits drive behavior. Courage is not the absence of fear. It is choosing alignment despite fear. You always have a choice. Owning that choice is the foundation of all mindset change.
