What if being the strong one is actually costing you more than you realize? In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean Meyers breaks down the hidden cost of always being the person everyone depends on. Being capable can become a trap. The more you can carry, the more you may start believing you should carry. Sean shares what he's learned about responsibility, isolation, vulnerability, asking for help, and creating relationships where you don't always have to have it all together. One message stands out: Strength was never supposed to mean isolation and doing it alone. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why being capable can become a trap How responsibility can lead to isolation Why asking for help isn't weakness Why you are more than what you produce How to recognize when you're carrying too much Why every leader needs people who truly know them How to lead for the long haul without carrying everything alone If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader in Montgomery County looking to grow in business, leadership, health, relationships, and faith, come experience Level Up + Live as our guest.

Welcome to New Ways, New You—a new chapter in my journey. I'm Susan Ways, host of Tendrils of Grief and owner of New Ways Barre, and I wanted to bring these two important parts of my life together. After years of conversations about grief, loss, healing, relationships, and finding our way forward, I've realized something: moving forward isn't always about making one giant change. Sometimes, it happens one inch at a time. That idea is at the heart of this new chapter. In this episode, I talk about the power of small, intentional movements—not just in our bodies, but in our lives. Whether you're grieving, rebuilding your career, healing a relationship, working on your health, or simply trying to become a healthier version of yourself, you don't have to figure out the entire journey today. You just need to find your next one-inch movement. Just like in barre, where tiny pulses, holds, and adjustments repeated consistently can create meaningful physical change, the small choices we make every day can create profound emotional and personal transformation. I also share some of my own experience with grief and how beginning a simple gratitude practice helped shift the way I saw the world. Healing didn't happen overnight. It happened through small decisions, repeated again and again. So this is an invitation to stop staring at the entire mountain. What's the one step you can take today? Maybe it's getting out of bed. Maybe it's taking a walk. Maybe it's having a difficult conversation. Maybe it's walking into a fitness class for the first time. Maybe it's simply taking your next breath. Whatever you're facing, your experience is real—and you don't have to compare it to anyone else's. This is New Ways, New You. A space for movement, healing, growth, and becoming the person you haven't met yet. And we're going to do it one inch at a time.  

A single Montgomery County police summary offers a revealing look at what thieves are targeting when cars and homes are left vulnerable. Airbags disappeared from parked vehicles, catalytic converters were stolen, cars vanished, and burglars targeted a home and a storage unit. Here's what happened—and what residents can learn from it.

On this episode of Clean and Sober Radio, host Gary Hendler and cohost Mark Sigmund welcomed Steve Forzato, Director of the Center for Addiction and Recovery Services at Saint Joseph's University, for an important conversation about the connection between addiction and human trafficking. Drawing on his four decades of experience in law enforcement and his expertise in addiction and recovery, Steve discussed the devastating realities he has witnessed throughout his career and how substance use can intersect with human and sex trafficking. He also shared his work addressing trafficking-related issues in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and discussed the importance of education, awareness, prevention, and support for those affected by addiction and exploitation.

Montgomery County lawmakers are talking trash. More specifically, the county council is deciding what to do about its aging trash incinerator.

What if you don't actually have a time problem? What if you have a priority problem? In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean Meyers breaks down why success often creates more options, responsibilities, and demands instead of the freedom we expected. As businesses grow, so do the meetings, opportunities, decisions, and people needing your attention. Without clear boundaries, you can build a business to create freedom and eventually become a prisoner to everything you've built. Sean shares what he's learned about protecting his time, saying no, creating boundaries, and making sure his calendar reflects what actually matters. One message stands out: What you say yes to is what you're saying no to. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why you may not need more time—you may need fewer priorities How growth can create more demands on your time Why every yes comes with a cost How your calendar reveals your true priorities Why unlimited availability isn't leadership The importance of boundaries for business owners and leaders How to protect your health, marriage, faith, and relationships Why leadership means developing people instead of solving every problem yourself How to create intentional alignment instead of chasing perfect balance A practical seven-day priority audit you can use immediately Ultimately, the goal isn't to fit more into your life. It's to make sure the things that matter most aren't getting whatever is left of you.

What actually separates people who continue growing from people who stay stuck? Sean Meyers believes it comes down to the habits and disciplines we practice every day. In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean breaks down 10 habits that have shaped how he leads, runs his businesses, approaches his health, marriage, faith, and personal growth. From positive attitude and communication to discipline, time, purpose, self-reflection, and gratitude, Sean shares the lessons he's learned through both success and failure. One message stands out: Don't become so focused on building the business that you stop building yourself. In this episode, you'll hear about: The 10 habits that drive continued growth Why discipline matters when motivation disappears How your calendar reveals your priorities Why you should never stop learning The importance of purpose and self-reflection Why gratitude doesn't kill ambition—it keeps ambition from owning you Becoming the person God has called you to be Ultimately, leveling up isn't about becoming somebody else. It's about intentionally becoming better—one decision, one habit, and one day at a time.

You can be surrounded by people and still be isolated. Geren Sims learned that firsthand. In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean Meyers sits down with Geren to unpack the importance of community, mentorship, faith, and becoming the person you're capable of becoming. After more than a decade in real estate and navigating seasons of growth, challenges, and change, Geren began to realize that trying to figure everything out alone was holding him back. He shares how learning to ask for help, seek feedback, find mentors, and surround himself with people who genuinely want to grow has changed the way he approaches business, health, faith, and life. Geren also opens up about his journey into real estate, the difficult seasons he's experienced in the industry, and how those challenges have taught him to stay focused, take care of himself, and lean on the right people when things get hard. Sean and Geren also dig into something every entrepreneur, leader, and young professional should hear: You don't have to have everything figured out before you start becoming the person you want to be. Geren shares why waiting for the bigger business, the bigger responsibility, or the next stage of life isn't necessary. Growth starts now. And becoming stronger physically, mentally, spiritually, and relationally requires intentionality, discipline, and the right community around you. In this conversation, you'll hear about: Why you can be surrounded by people and still be isolated The importance of mentors, community, and asking for help How ego and pride can keep you from seeking the guidance you need Turning difficult seasons into opportunities for growth Why fitness plays such a major role in Geren's life Rediscovering faith and building spiritual strength Why surrounding yourself with people who "want it" matters The importance of taking action before life gets harder Learning to become the person you want to be today Building a vision for the man and leader you want to become Geren's biggest lesson looking back? Don't isolate. Don't be too proud to ask for help. Find people who want to grow, and let them help you become better. Because you can be surrounded by people and still be isolated. And if you're trying to build a better life, business, or future, the people you surround yourself with matter.

Episode 264 of the Transition Drill podcast explores law enforcement retirement, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and career transition for police officers and first responders navigating life after the badge. You'll hear Tom Chuckerel on leaving a 25-year police career without a clear second-career plan, and what it takes to turn skills, relationships, and genuine interests into meaningful work after service.Tom wanted to be a Montgomery County police officer from the time he was six. He joined the department in 1994, spent years working patrol in the community where he grew up, became an FTO, and explored narcotics, surveillance, and SWAT before a medical issue unexpectedly redirected his career toward training.That move became pivotal. Tom joined the police academy staff, helped modernize defensive tactics, and brought his growing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experience into law enforcement training. He'd started training in 1997, eventually became a black belt, taught Jiu Jitsu and Thai boxing, and built a relationship with Rener Gracie while hosting Gracie Survival Tactics (GST) courses.When Tom retired in 2017 and moved to Monterey, California, he still wasn't sure what came next. He considered everything from X-ray tech school to becoming a butcher. Instead, years of training and relationships created opportunities. He ran a Jiu Jitsu school, worked private security and executive protection, and began teaching GST. Today, GST is his primary work, with roughly 150 classes led, allowing him to continue serving law enforcement through teaching, safer arrest-and-control tactics, and the work he genuinely loves.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comJohnny Collins Episode:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/188-never-give-up-6-bud-s-classes-to-be-a-navy-seal/id1582888787?i=1000740317114Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6z64p4xHrzZLB2rlWLy5AUYouTube: https://youtu.be/ZT90jdj14igSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

Dawn opens Wednesday with major updates from the local justice system and Florida courtrooms. We break down the serious voluntary manslaughter charges filed against veteran Upper Pottsgrove police officer Sean Farrell in Montgomery County following the tragic fatal shooting of an unarmed 22-year-old college student. Dawn contrasts the case with justified police action in Times Square before shifting down to Florida, where golf legend Tiger Woods appeared in court alongside Vanessa Trump to accept a plea deal on reduced DUI charges—resulting in a strict five-year driving ban. We react to the grueling deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy trial as the Massachusetts jury enters day five without reaching a verdict. Dawn addresses the shocking lack of accountability being pushed in certain corners of social media, calling out disturbing viral TikTok trends related to the tragic case. Plus, we highlight how North Carolina politics and federal policy debates continue to spark heated reactions, alongside new legislative moves in New Jersey regarding residential plugin solar panels for renters and homeowners.

Craig and Kevin have a guest in the studio this week: Jessi Cowart, a lifelong Montgomery County resident from Oak Ridge North who is running for Texas House District 15 as a Libertarian. The seat is open because Steve Toth is running for Congress, and Jessi says that if she wins she would be the first Libertarian ever seated in the Texas House. She came across our radar after our last conversation about Flock cameras, and she has plenty to say about them. First, civil asset forfeiture, which she calls legalized theft. Under the way Texas law is written the property itself becomes the defendant rather than the person, the burden of proof is almost nonexistent, and getting your property back is incredibly difficult even when you are never convicted of anything. Reform bills get filed every single legislative session and die every single session, and she puts that down to law enforcement lobby money rather than any real disagreement, since the Republican, Democrat, and Libertarian platforms in Texas all say they want it ended. Then the cameras. Jessi announced this week that she has drafted the Texas Automatic License Plate Reader Prohibition Act, an outright ban on government use of automatic license plate readers with anti-circumvention language in it. If she is elected on November 3rd, bill filing opens November 9th, and she says this is her first order of business. Her Fourth Amendment argument is not about one license plate seen in public, it is about the aggregate: a searchable database of where you live, where you work, where you worship, and who you associate with. We also get into The Woodlands Township unanimously approving $109,000 for 30 more cameras in December, with roughly $90,000 a year in ongoing cost after that, and the separate $50 million agreement to permanently end the City of Houston's right to annex the community. The longest stretch is property taxes, and she brought the math. Use the state budget surplus, which was running $27 to $28 billion at the start of last session and does not count the rainy day fund, to buy down school district M&O tax debt. Put real spending caps on local government, because Texas has five spending limits on the state and none at all on cities, MUDs, and school districts. Cut things like the $1.5 billion committed over ten years to Hollywood filmmaking in Texas. Then shift what remains toward sales tax without raising it astronomically. She thinks elimination in five years is realistic. Kevin tells the story of buying a house from an older woman who had a 65 and over exemption, and getting handed roughly $5,000 in back taxes two years later. We close on homeowner ground: why the median age of a first time buyer is now 40, why Jessi wants more small starter homes, duplexes, and condos rather than the same single family build on every parcel, her idea for a permit clock so permitting delays stop getting priced into every new house, why developers rather than existing taxpayers should pay for new development, and Craig's 25 year old employee in downtown Conroe who lined up three roommates before he closed on his first house.

You can have the title, the team, and the responsibility and still not know how to lead. Ben Dolton learned that firsthand. In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean Meyers sits down with Ben to unpack the difference between managing people and truly leading them, and the personal growth journey that changed the way Ben approaches leadership, business, and life. After missing a major promotion and realizing he had stopped growing, Ben was forced to take a hard look at himself. That setback became a turning point. He began studying leadership, building intentional growth systems, seeking feedback, and learning how ego and pride can quietly limit even successful people. Ben shares why information alone isn't enough. Growth requires taking what you learn, applying it, sharing it, and consistently doing the work. His own development system now centers around vision, culture, strategy, personal growth, and performance. Sean and Ben also dig into something every business owner should hear: What looks successful on the outside doesn't always tell you what's happening on the inside. Great leaders develop self-awareness. They ask for help. They're willing to be vulnerable. They listen to feedback instead of allowing ego to dismiss it. And ultimately, they understand that leadership isn't about a position or title—it's about people. In this conversation, you'll hear about: The difference between leadership and management Why a leader's growth impacts everyone around them Turning setbacks into catalysts for personal development Why knowledge without application doesn't create transformation Ego, pride, vulnerability, and receiving hard feedback Developing people instead of simply managing performance Why taking care of your people ultimately impacts business results Building an intentional plan for the person and leader you want to become Ben's biggest lesson looking back? Listen to the right voices. Stay coachable. Manage your ego. And never stop growing. Because if you're leading a business, a team, or a family, your growth isn't only about you. The people you're leading need you to keep becoming better..

Through 24/7 operation organized around 8-hour shifts, ICE has said the center is intended to “strengthen coordination” with state and local law enforcement partners across the country.“The center will provide 287(g) partners with real-time operational support, case-related guidance, and direct access to ICE resources, improving response times and ensuring law enforcement has the support needed to protect communities and enforce federal immigration law,” read a department statement.ICE did decline to confirm the specific location, citing a “coordinated campaign of violence” against its officers, a comment corroborated by DHS reports stating officers are facing “an 8,000% increase in death threats and a 1,300% increase in assaults against them,” as of June 2026.However, the liberal sect of Nashville does not appear pleased with the news, with immigrant advocates and city leadership claiming the center conflicts with the city's values and will “spread fear” in immigrant communities.Several Metro City Council members recently hosted a press conference alongside representatives from the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC), Tennessee Justice for Our Neighbors (TJFON), and other “community and faith leaders”, expressing their displeasure with a possible facility and pledging to oppose the center however they can.“This call center is not Nashville, and we will make sure that we do everything in our power so that it is not here, ever. Because we have a responsibility to all Nashvillians, whether they were born here or raised here. They are Nashville,” District 30 Council Member Sandra Sepulveda said. Sepulveda also said they are “currently looking at legislation that would look at any zoning and permitting at this time. So we are in the process of talking to community partners and different Metro officials to see what our path will be. Know that we are here, and we will be fighting with every breath we have until we find solutions.”TJFON Executive Director Tessa Lemos Del Pino said, “The government is required by law to protect children living in this country without a guardian. This is to protect them from abuse, exploitation, or being trafficked. Instead, our government is funding a call center that extensively puts a target on their backs.”But while Del Pino calls it “targeting”, ICE has previously said the national call center will help to locate these vulnerable unaccompanied migrant minors, a task the Trump Administration has taken very seriously. According to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, over 150,000 of 450,000 missing children have been recovered since the beginning of Trump's second term, thanks to a special task force dedicated to the job.A spokesperson from Mayor Freddie O'Connell's office said his office is “still in the process of getting a consistent depiction of what is planned”, though it is likely he will ultimately stand in opposition should the project plans move forward.

“MK Confidential” begins with the crime that will connect investigators to the D.C. snipers: a liquor store robbery in Montgomery, Alabama. Two women close up shop on September 21, 2002, and step into the parking lot. Two shots ring out and take the women to the ground. One will live the rest of her life with an implant to manage the pain; the other, dies within hours. John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo are to blame. Megyn Kelly reveals how the snipers pointed authorities out of Montgomery County, Maryland to Montgomery, Alabama, in an attempt to prove their credentials. A throwaway item at the crime scene unmasks Malvo, and, in turn, Muhammad. That leads them to the 1990 Chevy Caprice, and a public that is finally looking for the right vehicle. Police arrest Muhammad and Malvo without firing a shot. With victims spread across state lines, there's a tug-of-war for where the shooters will stand trial. But is the evidence strong enough to convict? And what kind of punishment fits the crime of holding the nation's capital hostage? This is Episode 5, the conclusion of the Beltway Snipers story.

Former Nashville Teachers Claim Metro Schools Admin Directed Them To Change Failing Students' GradesTennessee Conservative News [By Olivia Lupia] –Two former teachers at different Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) have alleged that district administration pressured them to alter failing student grades, reprimanding them for refusing to do so, and were also discouraged from reporting student behavioral issues to bolster district statistics.The story made national headlines last week when award-winning former teacher Samira Hardcastle, who resigned earlier this year after eight years of teaching art in Metro schools, took her complaints directly to the school board, citing allegations concerning grading, staffing, and other workplace issues.Hardcastle, who was previously named teacher of the Year at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Antioch and recognized as a Blue Ribbon Teacher of the Year for the 2025-2026 school year, submitted a three-page resignation letter in May, outlining her concerns about the grade manipulation and behavioral issues with students.“The news reports that behavioral issues are down, they are not. We are simply banned from reporting them, forcing us to keep disruptive students in the classroom,” she said during her testimony. “Statistics are being skewed to protect the district, not our children. Our children cannot read or write. They cannot do basic math.” She also recounted her experience of giving a failing mark to a student for not finishing a project, then having the mother complain and harass the school district until her child was given a passing grade by the administration, overriding Hardcastle's original grade which she stood by. She said this was just one example of the grade fabrication practice which she believes is pushed by administrators to make district scores look better.“The kids don't put in the work. They get the grade they earn, and the parents would come and complain and argue and say that I didn't do something correctly. And so then when that district gets involved, they just side with the parent to shut them up,” Hardcastle later elaborated to a local news outlet.“It creates false entitlement. What happens when these kids lie, cheat and cry their way through school and end up as future doctors, police, or politicians? When will you protect the future of our society?” she demanded of the school board.Hardcastle also claimed the HR department withheld money from her paycheck and others. “They took $500 from me specifically and it put me behind on my mortgage. And then they sent out an email saying they had to do it to pay other employees,” she alleged.Before resigning, Hardcastle was disciplined for what the district called “unprofessional communication” with a parent and student, but MNPS denies all the allegations in Hardcastle's documentation, telling media outlets there is “no evidence” that any of the former teacher's allegations have been substantiated at JFK Middle School or districtwide, and could not offer definitive clarity about the paycheck discrepancies.But internal emails have also surfaced regarding a second teacher, Diana Wills, who rejected directives to change failing student grades. Wills, a former math teacher at John Overton High School, was ultimately suspended for failing students without informing parents and told she had to give the students passing grades because of it. “What is being done is unethical and could very well be interpreted as illegal,” she wrote in one email. Other emails show how administrators told Wills she had violated district policy by failing students without alerting their parents, and because of that action she needed to pass the students by giving them a D.Wills stood her ground, writing that one student was offered multiple opportunities to make up exams but never did, also noting she was on medical leave for much of one semester. “You are latching onto a very vague line in the policy so you can cook the books to have the data look the way you need it do,” Wills said in another email.The former math teacher is now suing the district for suspending her, though the district contends Wills' case involved a “difference of opinion over district policies” and that the grade changes “did not meaningfully affect the student's final outcome in those courses.”JC Bowman, executive director of Professional Educators of Tennessee, said the concerns raised by Hardcastle and Wills extend beyond Nashville. In a media interview, Bowman said his organization hears similar concerns from educators in other part of the state, though they specifically hear it from MNPS.He showed a text message he received from a teacher in Montgomery County who claimed school districts have been “massaging” discipline numbers for years and expressed frustration with how disruptive student behavior is handled. Bowman pointed to the message as yet another example of why he believes the challenges brought to light by the former Nashville teachers warrant a “broader discussion” about student discipline in Tennessee schools.

Executive Order 9066 put roughly 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent behind barbed wire with the machine gun posts pointed inward. No charges, no trial. Many of the men in those camps volunteered for the US Army anyway, and the unit they formed became the most decorated in American military history for its size and length of service. Chris Cheng spent six years researching them. He joins us to talk about his new novel, The Purple Heart Battalion, why "internment" is the wrong word, and why the president who signed that order still gets a pass.

Every September, doctors see a jump in asthma attacks and ER visits. It's called Asthma Peak Week, and it usually hits the third week of September, right when families are settling into their school routines.  Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta are joined again by Liz Elliott, a nurse administrator in school health services for Montgomery County, Maryland, and a returning guest from our food allergy episode. This time, Liz answers the questions parents ask most about asthma at school, from what actually happens during a flare to whether their child's inhaler needs to be with them or in the health room. What we cover in this episode about Asthma Peak Week from the school nurse perspective Can my child self-carry their inhaler? The rules on self-carry, and why kindergartners and teenagers are handled differently. Does the school have stock rescue inhalers (albuterol)? What stock albuterol is, and what happens if your child's own inhaler isn't there yet. What happens if my child has a flare at school? Learn the protocol that is in place if your child experiences an asthma attack, and what happens for kids who experience their first asthma flare. Signs of asthma parents might miss that their child's asthma is not under control. Nighttime awakenings and an "asthma cough" can all be early warning signs. Closing the gap between home and school. Why the plan your provider signs has to match what's sent to school, and what to bring on day one.
