Danny Rensch was born into a cult that weaponized chess for prestige. He's here to explain how he broke free on part one of this two-part episode.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1289What We Discuss with Danny Rensch:Cults don't always start with sinister blueprints. The Church of Immortal Consciousness where Danny Rensch was raised grew from self-help roots and communal idealism into full financial control — where members surrendered everything, kids shared bathwater, and the shoe list became a euphemism for "you don't matter enough to get a pair."The cult weaponized chess the same way the Soviet Union did — as a tool for prestige. Danny was identified as a prodigy, deliberately separated from his mother, and groomed as the collective's golden child. His talent wasn't nurtured for his sake — it was exploited for the cult leader's ego.By age 13, Danny was living alone, traveling to national chess tournaments with pockets full of cash and no adult supervision. The neglect wasn't just emotional — it was physical. Untreated swimmer's ear became severe infection, leaving him 60% deaf in one ear and 40% in the other.A drunk, defecting Soviet grandmaster named Igor Ivanov — who once fled the KGB during an emergency plane stop — became Danny's live-in chess coach. Igor had carte blanche to drink and do as he pleased, making him the cult's most functional dysfunction and Danny's unlikely lifeline to the wider chess world.Despite growing up as a high school dropout in a cult with no formal education, Danny became a successful writer and helped build Chess.com — proof that curiosity, baseline intelligence, and sheer determination can outrun even the most rigged starting hand. Motivated people can learn faster than any institution expects them to.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

In this episode of Do Good to Lead Well, I welcome Dr. Jacqueline Sperling, a clinical psychologist, assistant professor in psychology at Harvard Medical School, and the co-founder and co-program director of the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital to discuss her latest book, “Find Your Fierce: How to Put Social Anxiety in Its Place.”Motivated by long waitlists at treatment centers and the slow path many face toward accessing help for social anxiety, Jacqueline Sperling shares her mission: to offer practical, evidence-based tools that anyone can use, regardless of clinical diagnosis or age. She grounds her message in empowerment, emphasizing that anxiety is a universal emotion—sometimes adaptive, sometimes disruptive—but always manageable with the right approach.Major themes include: • Understanding Anxiety: Dr. Sperling defines anxiety as a forward-looking form of fear and reframes it as a resource that can help us prepare for life's challenges, provided we don't let it dominate our decision-making. • The Thoughts-Feelings-Behaviors Model: Our discussion breaks down how our internal dialogue, emotions, and actions interconnect. Techniques like “stop, drop, and roll” and identification of unhelpful thought categories (catastrophizing, shoulds, overgeneralizing) are brought to life through questions from the live audience. • Leadership and Team Dynamics: We explore how leaders can compassionately address anxiety in their teams, foster psychological safety, and model healthy boundaries, which are especially during disruptive times and organizational uncertainty.Check out this episode for an honest, caring invitation for how we can create lasting mental health hygiene: a daily, mindful practice to care for ourselves, as we pursue meaningful work and lead with compassion.What You'll Learn- How to flip the script when you always expect the worst.- How leaders can compassionately support team members stuck in negative thought cycles.- Strategies for dealing with imposter syndrome and perfectionism.- Practical tips for receiving feedback without defensiveness.- Ways to maintain resilience in uncertain, disruptive times.- The power of mental health hygiene.Podcast Timestamps02:15 Dr. Jacqueline Sperling's background04:07 Origin story of "Find Your Fierce" book05:48 Understanding anxiety vs. fear07:49 The three-component model (thoughts, feelings, behaviors)10:04 Stop, drop, and roll technique14:23 Managing catastrophizing in team members18:54 Addressing imposter syndrome23:01 Overcoming fear of speaking up in meetings28:08 Values-based anxiety management31:53 The "shoulds" and "musts" trap33:51 Receiving feedback effectively38:03 Managing team anxiety during disruption40:06 Addressing perfectionism44:40 Delegation and leadership anxiety48:33 Overgeneralizing dangers52:07 Mental health hygiene practicesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Managing Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Thought-Feeling-Behavior Model, Catastrophizing, Mindfulness, Imposter Syndrome, Perfectionism, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Experiments, Self-insight, Mental Health Hygiene, Resilience, Stress Management, Reframing, Team Dynamics, Sleep Hygiene, Self-care, CEO Success

Keishia Hoston is a Certified Health & Wellness Life Coach and a dedicated advocate for women's health, specializing in menopause education, support, and transformation. Her journey began not in textbooks or classrooms—but in the real, raw experience of struggling through perimenopause herself. Motivated by her four children—David (age 23), Dakwon (age 21), Kamiya (age 15), and Kirsten (age 11)—she realized that true wellness wasn't just about surviving symptoms but about creating a legacy of health, energy, and balance that her family could see and be inspired by. Being a mother of four, it was important to her to be the role model of what a healthy mother should look like— especially for her girls—and a woman of strength and wellness for her boys. Her children became her “why,” the driving force that pushed her to heal, learn, and help other women reclaim their own vitality and confidence. Between the ages of 38 and 40, Keishia experienced a flood of unexplained symptoms: hot flashes, emotional swings, exhaustion, and heart palpitations. Like many women, she turned to doctors searching for answers, only to find confusion, prescriptions, and dismissals. This frustration sparked a deeper calling—to take her health into her own hands. With over a decade of experience as a Mental Health Clinician and a master's degree in psychology, Keishia combined her professional expertise with holistic research and personal healing to rebuild her wellness from the inside out. What began as a personal journey quickly became a mission to help other women do the same. Through her brand *Trust Your Journey*, Keishia provides coaching, education, and compassionate tools that help women reclaim their confidence, balance, and wellness. She believes menopause isn't the end—it's a powerful beginning. Every woman deserves to feel seen, supported, and strong throughout her transformation.

This episode of Addicted to Recovery features Harry, who shares his personal journey through addiction, recovery, and fatherhood. He reflects on growing up in West London, navigating family challenges, and being diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. Despite a childhood filled with love, the absence of a consistent male role model and exposure to a tough “lad culture” shaped his identity and influenced early drinking and drug use. Football became both an outlet and an entry point into environments where alcohol and substances were normalised. As Harry entered adulthood, his substance use escalated from social drinking to daily reliance on alcohol and cocaine. He describes maintaining work and responsibilities for a time, but eventually falling into patterns of secrecy, financial strain, paranoia, and emotional instability. The pressure of moving house, building a family, and trying to live up to expectations intensified his addiction. Even becoming a father — which he hoped would change everything — wasn't enough to stop the cycle, and feelings of guilt and shame continued to grow.The turning point came when Harry reached a severe mental health crisis, feeling overwhelmed and suicidal. He recalls moments of deep despair, including walking alone in a forest and later confronting himself in a mirror, which sparked a powerful realisation that he needed help. This moment led him to attend recovery meetings, where he began the process of rebuilding his life. Through recovery, he learned that sobriety wasn't just about quitting substances, but about changing his mindset, letting go of ego, and learning healthier ways to connect with others.Since getting clean, Harry explains how his priorities have shifted towards reliability, honesty, and family life. He talks about becoming a more present partner and father, embracing emotional openness, and redefining what masculinity means to him. Motivated by his own growth, he started a men's mental-health group called “The Man Cave,” offering a supportive space where men can talk openly about struggles such as anxiety, relationships, work pressures, and identity — not just addiction.Overall, the episode highlights themes of vulnerability, accountability, and transformation. Harry's story emphasises that recovery is an ongoing journey of personal change, where learning to drop the mask and ask for help becomes the foundation for a more authentic and meaningful life.
Episode 247 - Act 3 - The Motivated Dad - Finding the source of what keeps us going as a DadIn this third act of a four-part series inspired by Daniel Pink's insightful video on planning for 2026 (link in show notes), host Dave dives into motivation and becoming a more intentional dad this year. Drawing from Pink's framework, Dave reframes it specifically for fathers, urging us to adjust our inner operating system and embrace discomfort as a path to growth.Dave highlights the "85% rule": aim for goals where you succeed eight or nine times out of ten—not too easy, but with room for challenge and learning. Pick just one priority for 2026 instead of overwhelming yourself with dozens. Redefine discomfort—like the uncertainties of fatherhood—as on-the-job learning opportunities. He shares his own stretch: committing to 365 daily episodes on The How To Podcast Series, including a grueling 24-hour marathon recording on February 13-14.Practical tips include designing friction wisely (e.g., delete a distracting app to reclaim time), making public promises to one accountable person (avoid over-sharing on social to prevent backlash), and tracking small wins with victory laps to build momentum. Like a river finding the path of least resistance, streamline your life to create space for what matters.Dave emphasizes sustainable growth over grand gestures. Big year-end goals often lead to burnout; tiny, consistent actions create rhythm and forward momentum for your family and self.Key Takeaway: Invest in yourself as a dad this year—be a little selfish with your growth. Watch Daniel Pink's video multiple times, grab his free workbook, and pick one intentional goal.

The final week of Jesus' earthly ministry witnessed an onslaught of opposition from Jerusalem's religious elite. Motivated by anger, envy, and fear, they worked to bring both Jesus' work and his life to an end. Amid the clamor, the Gospel of Mark records a thoughtful conversation between Jesus and a scribe, concluding with Jesus' words that this man “was not far from the kingdom.” This sermon will explore this rich passage and discuss what Jesus' statement meant concerning this man's salvation. It will also examine what people of every age must understand about entering God's kingdom.A sermon given by Greg Chandler on February 8, 2026.

5 Habits to Keep Your Team MotivatedManaging a team is never easy, and one of the biggest challenges is keeping everyone motivated. Motivation doesn't come from long meetings or fancy speeches. It comes from small, everyday habits that keep energy, focus, and inspiration alive.Things like starting the day with open communication, recognizing effort right away, or giving quick feedback may seem small, but when done daily, they make a big difference. Over time, these habits build a culture where your team feels inspired to give their best.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

This isn't an announcement I planned. Or even one I rushed into. Somewhere along the way, creating started to feel less like choosing and more like continuing. And I realized I wanted something quieter. This video is about stepping back without burning everything down, questioning momentum without rejecting what came before, and why sometimes the most intentional move is choosing not to keep going just because you always have.

Michael T. Lester, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate and former Marine Corps combat pilot who served in Asia and the Middle East, initially believed deeply in American ideals. Over time, he experienced growing disillusionment as U.S. actions abroad often contradicted official narratives and failed to align with stated goals of promoting democracy and freedom. His book provides a non-partisan analysis, arguing that repeated harmful outcomes across administrations are systemic features driven by incentives, not mere mistakes. It outlines an imperial playbook involving regime change, sanctions, proxy wars, and economic control, while linking foreign policy to domestic narrative management that manufactures consent. Lester applies this framework to current events like Ukraine, Gaza, and Venezuela, noting increasing global skepticism toward U.S. explanations. The provocative title refers to outcomes; from a global viewpoint, the U.S. often appears as the antagonist, emphasizing that denial hinders self-correction. Motivated by the view that silence enables complicity, Lester wrote this book to encourage honest reckoning in a multipolar world.

The English text is as follows: 2月前半のゲストは、Camp Kesem at Long Beach State University(CSULB)で活躍する大学生リーダー、Nickolas “Nova” Dominguezさん(Co-Director)と、Christina “Bean” Beltranさんです。 https://www.kesem.org/ Camp Kesemは、親ががんと闘っている、またはがんで亡くした子どもたちに向けて、年間を通じて無償の支援を提供する全米規模の非営利団体です。中心となるプログラムは、6歳から18歳の子どもたちを対象とした1週間の宿泊型サマーキャンプです。 Novaさんは、高校生の頃にお母様が「トリプルネガティブ乳がん」と診断されたことをきっかけにKesemと出会い、キャンパーとして参加。その経験から「今度は自分が恩返しをしたい」とカウンセラーを経て、現在はCo-Directorとして活動されています。 Beanさんは、ご両親にがんの経験はないものの、家族の中でがんが身近な存在だったことからKesemのミッションに強く共感。大学2年生の時に参加し、今では「Kesemのない人生は考えられない」と語ります。 同じCSULBでSTEM分野を学ぶお二人が、Camp Kesemに関わる理由、学生リーダーとしての想い、そして子どもたちに届けたい「安心できる居場所」について、リアルに語ってくれました。ぜひ最後までお聴きください。 In the first half of our February episode, we welcome two student leaders from Camp Kesem at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB): Nickolas “Nova” Dominguez (Co-Director) and Christina “Bean” Beltran. Camp Kesem is a nationwide nonprofit organization that provides free, year-round support for children who have been impacted by a parent's cancer—whether their parent is currently battling cancer or has passed away. One of its core programs is a one-week residential summer camp for children ages 6 to 18. Nova first connected with Kesem in high school after his mother was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, joining as a camper. Motivated by a desire to “give back,” he later became a counselor and now serves as a Co-Director. Bean was strongly drawn to Kesem's mission because cancer has always been prevalent in her family, even though neither of her parents has had cancer. She joined during her second year of university and says she truly can't imagine life without Kesem. In this episode, Nova and Bean—both CSULB students studying STEM-related majors—share why they got involved with Camp Kesem, what it means to lead as students, and the “safe place to belong” they hope to create for children and families. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Guest: Michael Toth. The segment focuses on California's strategy to empower the Attorney General to sue fossil fuel companies for rising insurance premiums. Toth argues these lawsuits are politically motivated and legally weak, noting that even insurance companies refuse to sue because attributing specific damages or deaths to corporate emissions is factually difficult.UNDATED

Motivation doesn't come from long meetings or fancy speeches. It comes from small, everyday habits that keep energy, focus, and inspiration alive.Things like starting the day with open communication, recognizing effort right away, or giving quick feedback may seem small, but when done daily, they make a big difference. Over time, these habits build a culture where your team feels inspired to give their best.In this episiode, we'll explore five simple daily habits that can help you keep your team motivated and inspired — not through one-time efforts, but through steady consistency.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/
In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers sits down with Dan Sachkowsky, a business growth expert and founder of Big D Coaching. Recorded on location in Florida, this raw and unfiltered conversation traces Dan's roller-coaster journey from growing up in "the hood" of New Jersey to building and selling three companies for over $30 million—and losing everything in between. They dive deep into the trap of the "hustle culture," why most businesses are unsellable because the owner is the bottleneck, and how to transition from an operator to a true CEO. Whether you run an insurance agency or a service-based business, this episode is a blueprint for scaling without burnout. Key Highlights: The Bon Jovi Moment & The Bankruptcy Dan shares his powerful origin story. At 15, seeing Jon Bon Jovi's house challenged his father's limiting beliefs about wealth. Motivated by books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Dan started his first business at 17 and made $3.8 million by age 24. However, the 2008 crash wiped him out, leading to bankruptcy. He explains how hiring a coach at 25 was the pivot point that allowed him to rebuild even bigger. Operator vs. Owner: Escaping the Bottleneck Most business owners think working harder equals more success, but Dan argues this leads to burnout and a business that cannot exist without them. They discuss the necessity of building systems and processes that allow the business to run while the owner steps back to focus on strategy and lifestyle. Employees vs. Teams Dan emphasizes a critical mindset shift: You don't have employees; you have a team. He and David discuss why hiring the cheapest labor off Indeed is a recipe for failure. True scaling comes from building a culture where people feel valued and part of a mission, not just a line item on a P&L. The "Show, Don't Tell" Era David and Dan discuss the shifting landscape of marketing. A static website with stock photos no longer works. To win in 2026, you must build a personal brand through video and social proof. David reiterates his commitment to "showing" his work by documenting his path to $1M in new revenue, rather than just talking about theory. Generational Wealth & Mindset The duo reflects on the differences between their generation's "grind" mentality and the younger generation's approach to leverage and passive income. They discuss how modern entrepreneurs are often involved in multiple ventures, taking smaller cuts of bigger pies to mitigate risk and maximize freedom.

When school becomes a source of anxiety, exhaustion, and lost love of learning, something has to give. In this deeply honest episode, Justin & Kylie share why they made the controversial leap into homeschooling - what pushed them to act, what surprised them, and what the research actually says about outcomes. If you’ve ever worried your child is struggling in the system, this episode may change the way you see education. KEY POINTS The real drivers behind Australia’s homeschooling surge (hint: it’s not ideology) Why kids who struggle at school often thrive at home What the data actually shows about NAPLAN, university outcomes & social skills The surprising benefits Kylie sees day-to-day with flexibility, autonomy & mental wellbeing Why homeschooling isn’t “all or nothing”—and how parents can test without regret The single parenting factor that matters more than the schooling model QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Motivated, engaged parents produce good outcomes for their kids—regardless of the schooling method.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Australian homeschooling growth statistics US research on long-term academic & social outcomes ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Observe — Notice learning behaviours: anxiety, disengagement, excitement, curiosity. Experiment — Try small schooling variations (flex days, distance options, tutoring, hybrid). Connect — Talk to homeschooling communities to understand real-world rhythms. Review — Ask your child how they feel about learning—not just school. Decide lightly — Treat schooling as a season, not a life sentence; you can always change course.

There was a time when decisions felt simpler. You wanted something, you chose it, and you moved on. Now, even small choices get run through reviews, opinions, frameworks, and second-guesses.

Today I spoke with Dr. Louis Rothschild about his new book Rapprochement Between Fathers and Sons Breakdowns, Reunions, Potentialities (Karnac, 2024). Our conversation moved freely between theory, generational attitudes, thinkers, and personal vignettes. What is a good enough father? What is the difference between a man of achievement and a man of power? Who is the father of the mother's mind? What happens when a father enables holding? How is masculinity valued by other men? What is meant by phrases such as a “man's gotta do what a man's gotta do?” Why exactly do we need to “call the boy's father?” How is the father's role rendered invisible? These are some of the questions subsumed in the broader question of “Who nurtures and who is nurtured?” (And does the myth of the “self-made-man” indicate a man who exists without nurturing?) “What I'm arguing”, says Rothschild, “is that that sexist dichotomy is a mirage in its own right and that attachment strings needn't be severed. They can be reworked over the lifespan and this idea of having this clean tidy break and going off to live your life where liberating the kid from this regressive maternal bond is the path to individuation, I think that's just patently false.” Like an analyst, the book has been in formation for many years. “Percolating and distilling” as Dr. Rothschild says at the top of the interview. Motivated by the “way the culture was shifting” he sensed “that things I take for granted are actually a minority opinion.” Rothschild's survey of sons includes mythology; Oedipus scripture; Issac. As well as the sons of literature; Sendak's Max, Silverstein's Boy, White's Swan, and others. Affect rich case illustrations are also presented. The issues addressed in the book are the ones we are contending with in in analysis. They are the discussions we are having with our fathers, sons, and families. Rothschild's book is essential and meets the clinical moment. “Louis Rothschild's book is both an outstanding representative of ‘return to the father' and a unique explication of psychoanalytic thought on its own. This is a book of great literary elegance and impressive psychological wisdom.” Salman Akhtar, MD Christopher Russell, LP is a psychoanalyst in Chelsea, Manhattan. He is a member of the faculty and supervising analyst at The Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies and The New York Graduate School of Psychoanalysis. His primary theorists are Sándor Ferenczi and Hyman Spotnitz. Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone wants to know what you think. Not just about big things, about everything. What you believe. Where you stand. What you're “okay with.” What you're “not okay with.” And somehow, saying nothing has started to mean something. This video is about that pressure, why silence now feels like a statement, and what it costs us when everything demands a reaction.
