Today's podcast is a solo episode on keys to athletic longevity and ability. This isn't just a “stay strong as you age” show, but rather, speaks to principles of comprehensive embodiment of the movement and strength training process. Here I break down 10 core principles for true athletic longevity; physically, mentally, and creatively. Drawing from decades of coaching, training, and personal evolution, I explore why mastery of bodyweight skills, seasonal training rhythms, and “doing more with less” are essential as athletes age. I dive into the power of games, community, mythos, and ritual in keeping training joyful and sustainable, and explain how reflection, visualization, and a generalist mindset unlock deeper layers of performance. Whether you're 18 or 68, I share a roadmap for staying explosive, engaged, and young at heart; so your training stops feeling like an obligation and starts feeling like an adventure again.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) 0:03 - Introduction to Athletic Longevity 1:09 - Mastery of Bodyweight Strength 7:15 - Doing More with Less 14:48 - Beyond Output: The Joy of Training 33:28 - Working with the Seasons 41:15 - Community and Gameplay 43:04 - The Mythos of Training 54:06 - Reflective Practices for Growth 1:02:29 - Staying Young at Heart 1:05:21 - Conclusion and Training Opportunities Actionable Takeaways 0:03 – Introduction to Athletic Longevity You do not need elite performance goals to train like an athlete. Longevity principles apply to everyone. Frame training around sustaining abilities for life, not constantly chasing output. Use seasons of high intent and seasons of exploration to keep the body adaptable. 1:09 – Mastery of Bodyweight Strength Build a foundation through movements like single leg squats, pull-ups, handstands, and climbs. Treat bodyweight strength as both athleticism and self-care. Create challenges that force coordination, tension control, and awareness rather than raw force. Mastery comes from slow, deliberate practice, not grinding reps. 7:15 – Doing More with Less Minimal equipment forces the nervous system to solve problems instead of relying on machinery. Use odd objects, rocks, or simple setups to create organic strength tasks. The fewer the tools, the more your body must coordinate pathways and recruit fibers intuitively. Minimalism creates long term durability because it reduces stiffness from repetitive patterns. 14:48 – Beyond Output: The Joy of Training Training becomes richer when you stop chasing numbers and start chasing satisfaction. Explore environments that give you novelty, challenge, and a sense of discovery. Use activities like bouldering, trail running, or skill based strength tasks to reconnect with intrinsic motivation. Joy improves longevity by making training sustainable, not obligatory. 33:28 – Working with the Seasons Rotate training priorities with the seasons to avoid stagnation. Winter may prioritize hill sprints, rock climbing, or foundational strength. Summer may lean into elastic qualities, sprinting, and outdoor challenges. Seasonal shifts satisfy both psychology and physiology by adding rhythm to training. 41:15 – Community and Gameplay Seek out communities that support physical play: climbing gyms, pickup sports, outdoor groups. Games create natural variability and spontaneity that cannot be replicated in a weight room. Being around others elevates energy and brings back the competitive spark. Gameplay keeps you young because it connects challenge, emotion, and movement. 43:04 – The Mythos of Training Build a personal mythology around your process to make training more meaningful. Rituals, environments, and narratives help you commit long term. Your system does not need to be rigid to be powerful. It needs to resonate. Treat training as an evolving story rather than a strict set of prescriptions. 54:06 – Reflective Practices for Growth Use journaling, quiet walks, or cooldown reflection to understand how training is shaping you. Reflection strengthens the connection between intuition and programming. Regular evaluation prevents burnout because it keeps training aligned with who you are becoming. Know when a method has run its course so you can adapt before stagnation. 1:02:29 – Staying Young at Heart Regularly expose yourself to novelty to maintain athletic qualities and curiosity. Choose activities that make you laugh, struggle, or fail safely. Maintain low level sprinting and jumping year round to keep elasticity from fading. Staying youthful is a mindset supported by movement variety. 1:05:21 – Conclusion and Training Opportunities Mix structured training with open-ended exploration to become resilient. Create programs that align with your interests, not just performance metrics. Longevity is built from sustainable rhythms, not all out cycles. Choose training communities and methods that help you stay inspired. Quotes from Joel “Longevity is not about chasing numbers. It is about staying able.” “Minimalism forces your body to become smarter instead of stiffer.” “When you stop obsessing over the output, you rediscover the joy of the process.” “If you follow the seasons, your training stays fresh and your body stays adaptable.” “Gameplay brings out movement qualities you cannot coach in the weight room.” “Your training story matters. It keeps you showing up long after the numbers stop improving.” “Reflection is the anchor that keeps your training aligned with who you are becoming.” “Staying young at heart is as much a training strategy as it is a mindset.” About Joel Smith Joel Smith is the founder of Just Fly Sports, a leading education platform in speed, power, and human movement.

We explore the vintage clothing and collectibles scene in Omaha, examining the intersection of genuine appreciation, social signaling, and dopamine-driven consumerism. The conversation ranges from Matt's solo trip to a vintage event at A Priori (complete with Polaroid gift-giving) to broader questions about why we acquire things—whether it's a 1940s bomber jacket, rare vinyl records, or another book for the shelf. We discuss the spectrum between celebrating quality craftsmanship and using purchases to fill psychological needs, touching on everything from $500 Nebraska garage band 45s to the declining quality of modern retail clothing.The episode takes a practical turn when Alex proposes a personal experiment: a multi-month period of not buying anything beyond necessities. We examine the motivations behind this challenge—not primarily financial savings, but rather an exploration of impulse control, creative constraint, and resistance to consumer culture. We also revisit the idea of annual reflection sessions, moving away from metric-based goal-setting toward describing what we want our lives to look and feel like, and how to balance the fulfillment that comes from new pursuits with the discipline that characterized earlier periods of better health and lower consumption. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Brisbane photographer Dallas Grenenger reveals a creative life shaped by stillness, simplicity, and a deep appreciation for quiet moments. Dallas reflects on how his earliest experiences — photographing flowers, family, and road trips with a small Kodak camera — planted a spark that resurfaced years later when he picked up a mirrorless camera and began teaching himself the craft.   Dallas describes himself as naturally introverted, and photography has become his way of expressing something personal without noise or pressure. He shares how he gravitates toward calm, contemplative scenes, favouring black and white images for their ability to strip away distraction and bring light, texture, and emotion to the forefront. Long-exposure work plays a key role in his style, allowing him to slow time, soften movement, and create images that feel reflective and slightly surreal.   Whether crafting fine art pieces, portraits, or commercial projects, Dallas approaches each frame with the same quiet intentionality — clean compositions, space to breathe, and mood shaped by natural light. Beyond photography, he talks about his love of cycling, exploring new places at a slower pace, and the way these experiences feed into his creative mindset.   Through his thoughtful process and grounded perspective, Dallas reminds us that photography is as much about paying attention as it is about making images — an invitation to pause and notice the quiet beauty in everyday scenes.   I hope you enjoy the show!

If overwhelm has become your constant companion - the thing you wake up with, carry through your day, and fall asleep thinking about - your well-being is trying to tell you something. In this episode, we're unpacking why happiness can feel so far away when stress keeps running the show, and how you can manage what's on your plate without sacrificing yourself in the process. If you're longing to feel happier, love yourself more deeply, and finally declutter the parts of your life that feel too heavy, you are absolutely in the right place! My guest, author and Afro-minimalist Christine Platt (Less Is Liberation: Finding Freedom From a Life of Overwhelm), shares how her “normal” busy life quietly turned into a health crisis, and how she began seeing overwhelm as her body's way of saying, Hey, one of your wells is empty. We talk about the five foundations of wellness (your “personal wells”), the emotional labor and mental load so many women carry, and how learning to declutter your stuff, your schedule, and your beliefs can help you manage stress more wisely and reconnect with a sense of happiness in your daily life. We also get into the messy real-world pieces: overwhelm by circumstance (divorce, money, kids, career), people-pleasing, the guilt around saying no, and why so many of us overbuy and hang onto clutter “just in case.” As you listen, notice: Which of your wells has been running low? What are you still trying to prove by doing so much? And what would “less” need to look like for your life to feel more like your life again? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Constant Overwhelm and Stress: What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You 03:03 Chronic Overwhelm and Hypertension: When Stress Becomes a Health Crisis 05:51 Five Foundations of Wellness: The “Personal Wells” Framework 09:45 Emotional Labor and Mental Load: Why Women Feel So Overwhelmed 12:30 Minimalism as Liberation: Living With Less to Reduce Overwhelm 16:06 Time Scarcity and Productivity: Limiting Beliefs That Keep You Overwhelmed 18:29 Messengers and Limiting Beliefs: Redefining “Selfish” Self-Care 25:32 Overwhelmed by Circumstance: Divorce, Scarcity, and Minimalism by Necessity 32:26 Psychology of Ownership: Why We Overbuy, Hoard, and Accumulate Clutter 42:51 Inner Work Before Decluttering: Healing People-Pleasing and Attachment to Stuff 48:47 Filling Your Wells: Daily Practices for Sustainable Wellness and Well-Being If you're living in that constant state of overwhelm, please know you don't have to sort this out on your own. At Growing Self, you can talk with someone about what's really happening - the stress, the burnout, the clutter on the outside and the inside - and get matched with a therapist or coach who truly understands what you're carrying. Schedule a consultation today! You deserve a life that feels lighter and more intentional, where you can manage stress wisely, feel happier in your day-to-day reality, and genuinely love yourself in how you care for your time, your space, and your emotional well-being.

Minimalism had a long run. But consumers got bored and brands felt it.BMW pulled off a toll-lane stunt that turned Audi and Mercedes drivers into unwilling brand ambassadors. Apple dropped a knitted “iPhone Pocket” that has more in common with Hermès than hardware. And Pepsi just ended a decade of flat, sanitized branding with a bold return to maximalism.The new wave isn't clean, quiet, or neutral. It's loud, emotional, and intentionally polarizing.Because in a crowded market, clarity doesn't win contrast does.Which brand nailed the moment?

On this week's show, we crawl out of our post-Thanksgiving food coma to give thanks for superlative new records by Snocaps, The Mountain Goats and Madi Diaz, spin fresh tracks from Lucinda Williams, David Byrne & Howl Owl Howl. and kick it with the always awesome Jesse Welles. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is a podcast that thinks it's a radio show...because it used to be one. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004. It phoenixed into a podcast in 2020, thanks to the fine and fabulously furious folks at NRM Streamcast. 

In this conversation with entrepreneur and outsourcing leader Carmen Williams, we unpack the moment she walked into work, felt a physical “no” in her stomach, and quit her job that same day. No plan, no runway, no strategy deck—just bravery born from clarity.This episode isn't about hustle culture. It's about permission—to pivot, to shrink your life, to rebuild your identity, and to stop performing your way into burnout.We explore why corporate stability is an illusion, why minimalism creates freedom, how virtual teams scale your capacity, and why the “first hire fantasy” founders chase is usually wrong.We also talk about life after collapse—the rebirth that happens when you stop clinging to the version of yourself that was built to survive, not thrive.No hype. Just the quiet courage of starting over.TL;DR* The brave pivot: Carmen quit her job in one day after realizing life is short and fear is expensive.* Job security is riskier than entrepreneurship: One employer = one point of failure.* Minimalism is leverage: Less stuff, lower burn rate, fewer emergencies.* Founders hire the wrong “clone”: You don't need another visionary—you need a steady executor.* AI + VAs is the winning combo: AI increases the demand for great operators; it doesn't replace them (yet).* Saying “no” builds more trust than yes: Filtering clients improves ROI and reputation.What we unpack1. The moment you stop pretending you have timeCarmen's turning point came when her mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness—20 years older than her. Mortality compresses priorities.She realized: “If I knew I had 20 years left, would I stay here?”Her answer was a clean no.2. The illusion of corporate safetyDoug reflects on climbing into bigger houses and bigger bills—only to realize everything you own also owns a piece of you.Entrepreneurs face volatility monthly.Employees face catastrophe suddenly.Pick your pain.3. Minimalism as a business strategyDoug downsized from 3,800 sq ft → 560 sq ft.Less space. Fewer things. More intention.The easy life is the one with fewer dependencies.4. Why founders hire the wrong personalityEntrepreneurs imagine a “mini-me” assistant—someone spontaneous, creative, high-initiative.What they need is the opposite:A detail-driven operator who finishes what the founder starts.5. How Carmen accidentally built a 100-person outsourcing companyShe hired VAs for her own consulting practice.People kept asking for help.She kept saying no—until the market refused to let her.No website. No pitch deck. Twenty VAs anyway.6. Why AI doesn't replace VAs—it amplifies themHer teams use AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.Training loops, outside experts, and self-directed learning have made her VAs more valuable—not redundant.Memorable lines* “If you only have one income stream, you don't have stability—you have a trap.”* “Minimalism isn't aesthetic. It's leverage.”* “Your first hire shouldn't be you—it should be your opposite.”* “The day you stop pretending you have time is the day you become brave.”* “AI doesn't replace people. It replaces excuses.”GuestCarmen Williams — Founder & CEO of a global outsourcing agency supporting 100+ virtual assistants across multiple industries. Known for helping entrepreneurs scale through operational discipline, delegation frameworks, and mindset shifts around capacity and courage.LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmenwilliamsau/Website: https://globalteams.com.au/Why this mattersIf you want your second life to work, you can't drag your first-life habits with you.That means:* lower burn rate* fewer possessions* more clarity* better support* braver decisions* honest self-assessmentYou can't rebuild while holding onto the version of yourself that burned out.Call to ActionIf this conversation lit something up for you, don't just let it fade.

The new trend of 'underconsumption core' is taking on Black Friday, but is this thrifty, anti-consumerist vibe even achievable for parents who are the ultimate victims of the 'stuff' economy? Special guest host Luca Lavigne joins Stacey Hicks and Monique Bowley to unpack. Plus, casual nudity is slowly disappearing from the public pool and gym change rooms but what does this mean for our kids? Welcome to the era of physical prudes but emotional nudists. And, we're stumbling into Spotify Wrapped season, the annual moment of profound parental shame. We unpack the need for a 'Parent Incognito Mode' that censors results because nobody wants their friends seeing 9,000 hours of Chicken Boonana or KPop Demon Hunters. Our Recommendations:

Tim and Frank map the split between things you use and things you just display. Physical media and toys that invite play vs digital files and NFTs that create fake scarcity. Collecting has shifted. Minimalist “millennial beige” homes and how that vibe bleeds into hobby culture. Funko's oversupply and debt stories. Expensive replicas that stop being toys once the price climbs. LEGO scale display pieces vs sets made to be handled. The difference between collecting for personal joy and buying for resale.

Minimalism isn’t a fringe movement. Brand names reduced to consonants, simple logos, and simple packaging has become the norm for businesses. A limited menu – if there's a menu at all – has become synonymous with fine dining. And instead of countless pictures on the wall, we choose one painting to allow the piece space to speak. Minimalism has taught us that the best way to make a statement is by dialing back. In this week's message, the Apostle Paul, along with the sages who penned the Proverbs, teaches us that screaming tends to make people deaf to our message, while a gentle, controlled temperament has the power to pierce the noise of a chaotic soul.

Do your evenings disappear into chaos—feeding, cleaning, and collapsing into bed exhausted? Are you wondering how to stay calm and connected while parenting toddlers who seem to need you every second?In this episode, Greg & Rachel reveal the mindset and framework behind calm parenting toddlers—how to meet your child's needs without losing yourself, gently transition from co-sleeping, and end night wakings without cry-it-out. You'll learn why the 0–5 window shapes your child's identity, confidence, and future emotional health—and how your calm presence now builds secure attachment and independence later.They also share why dads don't babysit—they lead, and how fathers can bring energy, joy, and true relief to moms in the toddler trenches. You'll leave with practical, doable shifts that make family life lighter, calmer, and far more fulfilling.

It's the most wonderful time of the year… and the most exhausting. Between the decorating, the baking, the shopping, and the pressure to make everything magical, our souls can feel more hurried than holy. In this episode, we slow down to talk about what it really means to rest during the holidays, not just physically, but spiritually.Drawing from The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, The Deeply Formed Life by Rich Villodas, and the practice of Slow Living, join us as we explore how doing less will actually help us experience more: more peace, more joy, and more presence with the people (and the God) who matter most.If you feel like you're carrying the weight of making the holidays “perfect,” this conversation will remind you that perfection isn't the point - presence is. You'll walk away with practical ideas to simplify the season, breathe deeply, and rediscover the sacred rhythm of rest, even in the holiday hurry.Show Notes:The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark ComerThe Deeply Formed Life by Rich VillodasSlow Living Articles:Already Stressed About the Holidays?https://www.latimes.com/lifestyle/story/2025-11-06/tips-holiday-overwhelm-stress-niro-felicianoHow to Slow Down During the Holidays              https://caitlinhoustonblog.com/how-to-slow-down-during-the-holidays/Why Doing Nothing Intentionally is Good for Us: The Rise of the Slow Living Movement.                                           https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20240724-why-doing-nothing-intentionally-is-good-for-us-the-rise-of-the-slow-living-movement

Too much stuff can bring unnecessary stress. Here are some thoughts. 

Olivia Amitrano — founder of Organic Olivia and now recording artist OLIVIA — returns to explore the art of reinvention, inner child healing, and overcoming the fear of the unknown. Olivia opens up about shedding the identity that built her success, rediscovering creativity through play, and learning to trust herself again after a period of deep change. She shares how solo travel, sobriety, and stillness led her back to her truest self, and how embracing imperfection and presence opened the door to her next evolution as an artist. Together, we discuss the courage it takes to outgrow old versions of yourself, why creative play is medicine, and how being present — not perfect — is the ultimate definition of living Ever Forward.
