Podcasts about Mount Kilimanjaro

In today's uplifting news, a Pennsylvania elementary school finally opened a time capsule that had been buried for fifty years. Claysville Elementary School in Claysville, PA, buried the capsule in 1976, and students and teachers gathered in the school auditorium to see what had been hidden away for half a century. Some students guessed correctly what would be inside, including money and old pencils. A former fourth-grade teacher who had taught at the school when the capsule was buried recalled placing a felt eraser and pieces of chalk inside. When the capsule was opened, it revealed Bicentennial coins, a two-dollar bill, photographs, newspapers, stamps, classroom supplies, and a congratulatory letter written to the students by then President Gerald Ford. A manual calculator from a math classroom was also inside, a device many of today's students had never seen before. To mark the occasion, the current students and teachers created a new time capsule to be buried and opened in 2076, continuing the tradition for the next generation. Ponder Some memories and traditions are worth waiting for, and they connect one generation to the next. Scripture "One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts." Psalm 145:4 AND Here are the show notes for this one: Woman Battling Incurable Cancer Set Her Sights on Everest, and Made It to the Top Summary A woman from the U.K. became the first female stage 4 cancer patient to climb Mount Everest, completing the climb for the second time in her life. The 50 year old exercise psychologist was diagnosed with incurable stage 4 breast cancer two years ago and has undergone radiotherapy, liver surgery, and a double mastectomy. She trained for an entire year to prepare for the climb, which she first completed over two decades earlier. Upon reaching the summit, she encouraged others facing cancer to keep taking steps forward no matter how difficult the journey. The coldest nights on the mountain proved to be the hardest part of the climb, as her body temperature dropped while she rested in her tent. She raised more than $100,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support during the expedition and also gathered research on how low oxygen levels affected her cancer markers, hoping her data could benefit future patients and doctors. She has also completed the Everest Marathon and climbed Mount Aconcagua, Elbrus, and Kilimanjaro, and she hopes her climb inspires others to believe they can accomplish big things despite their diagnoses. Ponder Facing a difficult diagnosis does not mean giving up on big dreams, and determination can inspire others walking through their own battles.

He coached Michael Chang and Wes Welker, co-founded the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, and built one of the most decorated careers in sports science. Then a hospital bed, a broken relationship with his father, and a mountain in Africa taught him what none of the trophies could. This is Dr. Jack Groppel's story of achievement addiction, faith, and fatherhood.Dr. Jack Groppel has operated at the highest levels of human performance for four decades. Co-founder of the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute, Hall of Fame tennis coach, author of The Corporate Athlete, and coach to legends like Michael Chang and Wes Welker, his professional resume reads like a highlight reel.But in this conversation, Jack takes us underneath the resume. He talks about growing up under a demanding father, using achievement as a way to prove his worth, and building a career on that pattern for decades before it caught up with him. He shares the hospitalization that forced him to confront who he actually was, the faith journey that followed, adopting his son from China at nearly 60 years old, and the moment on Mount Kilimanjaro when the two of them stood at the summit together.This is a conversation about ambition, identity, fatherhood, and the difference between a life that looks successful and a life that feels well lived.Key Takeaways1. Achievement can become an addiction when it's used to prove worth rather than pursue purpose2. Facing truth about yourself is its own form of conflict and often the harder one3. Writing a personal mission statement gives you a filter for every decision that follows4. Journaling by hand has research behind it for actually rewiring the brain around old stories5. The question "what matters most right now" is a daily calibration tool, not a one-time exercise6. Breaking a generational pattern requires naming it out loud before you can choose differentlyGuest BioDr. Jack Groppel is an internationally recognized authority in human performance and well-being.

What happens when you stop trying to become the person the world expects and finally begin choosing who you want to be? In Episode 152 of Pushing Forward with Alycia, host Alycia Anderson welcomes global speaker, bestselling author, disability advocate, activist, and content creator Spencer West for a powerful conversation about disability identity, autonomy, interdependence, and breaking free from expectations. Spencer is the author of Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, a new book that invites readers to question the expectations shaping their lives and begin choosing a more authentic path. Born with a genetic condition that prevented the muscles in his legs from functioning, Spencer underwent surgeries that resulted in the amputation of both legs just below his pelvis. Growing up, he was repeatedly told that he was “just like everyone else” and that every child wanted to walk. But prosthetic legs were not the best mobility choice for Spencer. By sixth grade, his parents and therapist gave him the opportunity to decide for himself how he wanted to navigate the world. Choosing to stop using prosthetic legs became one of his earliest lessons in bodily autonomy. “The moment I realized I could choose how I wanted to navigate the world, everything started to change.” That decision did not eliminate the pressure to fit in. Spencer shares how he continued confronting internalized ableism, social expectations, and the confusing message that disability should be ignored rather than embraced as part of his identity. The Life Changing Power of Autonomy Spencer and Alycia discuss why disabled children deserve the opportunity to participate in decisions about their own bodies, mobility, healthcare, and lives. Spencer credits his parents with giving him choices instead of assuming they always knew what was best for him. Looking back, he recognizes that this early experience helped him understand that he could make other meaningful choices too. For parents, educators, medical professionals, and leaders, his story offers an important reminder: supporting disabled people does not mean controlling every decision. It means creating space for autonomy, self discovery, and informed choice. Climbing Kilimanjaro and Redefining Help Spencer also shares the story behind climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. He was not motivated by a desire to prove that “anything is possible.” In fact, Spencer openly admits that he does not like camping and had never dreamed of becoming a mountain climber. The climb became part of a larger campaign called Redefine Possible, which raised more than its original $500,000 goal for clean water initiatives in East Africa. Spencer trained for a year alongside two of his closest friends. Although the original plan was to use both his wheelchair and his hands to climb, the terrain required him to navigate much more of the mountain on his hands than expected. Throughout the expedition, Spencer relied on his friends for physical support. But on summit day, both friends became sick from the altitude. Suddenly, the person who assumed he would need the most assistance became the person helping them continue. Spencer could not physically carry his friends, but he could stay beside them, encourage them, and keep moving forward with them. That experience transformed how he viewed strength. “We all need help. We all need to ask for help, and we all need to offer help.” Rather than celebrating the myth of the self made person, Spencer encourages people to embrace interdependence, the understanding that every person depends on support, relationships, community, and collaboration. Moving Beyond Inspiration Porn Spencer and Alycia examine the harmful narratives that often surround disabled people who accomplish highly visible goals. Spencer never wanted his Kilimanjaro climb reduced to a message suggesting that if a disabled person can climb a mountain, everyone should be able to overcome every barrier. That framing ignores systemic ableism, access needs, privilege, support, and the reality that every disabled person has a different body and experience. Spencer shares how disability justice advocate Naomi Ortiz challenged him to reconsider the way he talked about the climb. The true story was not that he overcame disability alone. It was that he reached the summit through community and interdependence. That conversation led Spencer to study disability history, disability justice, and the advocates who have shaped the movement. Today, much of his content reflects what he continues to learn and unlearn in real time. What Does It Mean to Break Free? Spencer's new book, Breaking Free: Stop Following Expectations and Start Following Yourself, examines the expectations people absorb from the moment they enter the world. For Spencer, those expectations included: Do not think of yourself as disabled Overcome your disability Use prosthetic legs Follow a traditional career path Marry a woman Measure success through productivity Live according to society's definition of a successful life As a disabled gay man growing up in a conservative Wyoming community, Spencer gradually realized that many of those expectations did not reflect who he was or what he wanted. Breaking free became the process of identifying which expectations belonged to him and which ones had been placed upon him by others. “My value and success are not tied up in what my body can produce.” Spencer explains that breaking free does not always require climbing a mountain or completely changing your career. It can begin with one small decision, such as leaving an unhealthy relationship, exploring a new passion, moving to another city, or making room for something that brings joy. Disability as Identity During a volunteer trip to Kenya, Spencer spoke with students about his disability. A young girl told him she had not realized that the loss of limbs could happen to a white person too. Her observation sparked a major realization. Until that moment, Spencer had viewed disability primarily as something that happened to him. He had not yet embraced it as part of his identity. That experience helped him begin connecting disability with the other layers of who he is, including being queer, a speaker, a creator, and an advocate. Spencer and Alycia reflect on how long it can take to fully embrace disability identity after growing up in environments that treated disability as something negative, shameful, or separate from the self. A Book Designed to Become a Tool Breaking Free is more than a memoir. Spencer designed the book as a practical guide for readers who are questioning the expectations shaping their lives. Each chapter includes exercises, reflection questions, key concepts, and opportunities for readers to begin their own process of change. The book also gives Spencer an opportunity to share parts of his life that he had not discussed publicly before, including the pressure he experienced to hide his queer identity while working within an organization concerned about conservative donors and religious partners. After years of advocacy from Spencer, queer colleagues, and allies, he eventually shared his coming out story publicly on June 26, 2015, the day marriage equality became law across the United States. For Spencer, that moment represented years of persistence, truth telling, and breaking free. Spencer West's North Star Today, Spencer continues speaking, creating digital content, and helping organizations understand the value of hiring disabled talent. His work challenges myths about disabled employees and highlights the unnecessary ableism many disabled people face while trying to find meaningful employment. His current North Star is clear: get Breaking Free into the hands of people who need permission to question expectations, embrace their identities, and begin choosing themselves. In This Episode Why bodily autonomy matters for disabled children and adults Spencer's decision to stop using prosthetic legs Unlearning internalized ableism The deeper story behind climbing Mount Kilimanjaro Why no one is truly self made Interdependence and the courage to ask for help How inspiration porn harms disabled people Learning from disability justice advocates Disability and queer identity Breaking free from society's expectations Separating personal value from productivity Why Spencer wrote Breaking Free Disability inclusion and employment Memorable Quotes from Spencer West “The moment I realized I could choose how I wanted to navigate the world, everything started to change.” “The story was not that I reached the top alone. The story was interdependence.” The Pushing Forward Moment “Maybe our job is not to become anything. Maybe our job is to unbecome all the things that do not belong to us so we can become the person we were meant to be.” Spencer explains that this idea, inspired by a passage associated with Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, became the guiding thesis behind Breaking Free.

In this episode, Geo sits down with YGC co-founder Yvette Valdenegro to talk about the climb that changed everything. Yvette shares what it was really like to summit Mount Kilimanjaro's Lemosho Route, including the parts nobody warns you about: the exhaustion, the fear, and eventually an undiagnosed case of pulmonary edema she pushed through to reach the top. But this conversation isn't just about the mountain. Yvette walks Geo through the four levels of consciousness she moved through on the climb, and how that same framework shows up in the work we do with our clients every day. She talks about what it means to stop surviving and start actually living as yourself, not performing a version of yourself for everyone else.You'll hear about:What actually happens in your body and mind above 19,000 feetThe moment Yvette had to ask for help and what that taught her about controlThe four levels of consciousness, explained simplyWhy perfect peace was never something to chase, it was already there[Exciting announcement — details TBD]If you've ever felt like you're climbing toward some version of peace that's always just out of reach, this episode is for you.Read Yvette's full story here.With so much love, joy, and intention,Yvette Valdenegro & Geovanna Burgess WhiteResources & Links: ⁠⁠

Joining the Project Purple Podcast from Brooklyn, Keith De-Lin takes listeners on a journey from a misdiagnosis to discovering a rare neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor with host Dino Verrelli. A lifelong vegan and dedicated fitness enthusiast, Keith was always focused on his health, but at 48, persistent acid reflux and unusual symptoms led him to push for answers that would change his life. Initially diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, Keith underwent months of intensive chemotherapy intended for that diagnosis, as well as treatment for a severe portal vein thrombosis, before finally receiving the correct diagnosis: non-functioning neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. He reflects on the emotional rollercoaster of facing a misdiagnosis, the vital role of advocacy—especially having his doctor wife by his side—and how his mindset and positivity carried him through treatment. Keith shares how living in the moment, relying on a strong support system, and embracing your unique recovery journey can guide you through even the most challenging experiences. From maintaining his workout routine to planning adventures like climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, he demonstrates resilience, hope, and perspective in action. Keith welcomes connection through his Instagram @keithdelin: https://www.instagram.com/keithdelin/ Subscribe to the Project Purple Podcast for more stories from the pancreatic cancer community.

Send us Fan MailWe've got something very special for you, the first We Are Superman Podcast live in front of an audience! The La Sportiva store in Boulder last week hosted a Q&A session with sponsored athlete Tyler Andrews, fresh off of his record-setting run, yes run, on Mt. Everest on May 28. This has been Tyler's years-long quest, following his FKTs on dozens of routes, including ascending such very tall peaks as Aconcagua, Cotopaxi, Kilimanjaro, Manaslu, and Mt. Fuji. On his seventh Everest attempt he reached the summit from Everest Base Camp in 9:55, smashing by 61 minutes the previous record with supplemental oxygen held for 23 years by Lakpa Gelu Sherpa. He also set a roundtrip record of 16:32. His achievement made instant national headlines and also landed him an appearance on the Today Show. During this awesome live session, Tyler talks about how the successful record attempt unfolded, his gear, fueling, how it felt to finally summit Everest, what made this attempt different than his previous ones, and his future plans. And also about Quackers the Duck. I hope you enjoy this very fun chat with someone I've known for several years who I think is one of the most impressive, focused, and dedicated endurance athletes in the world.Tyler Andrewstylercandrews.comInstagram @tylercandrews and @chaski.enduranceCheck out his podcast, Ty's Training, Talking with my Dad on Spotify and other platformsSupport the Chaski Foundation to provide sports programs for deserving kids in Nepal and Ecuador: givebutter.com/chaskifoundationBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

Guest BioBecki Rupp is a certified Personal Trainer and Adventure Travel Coach, and the founder of Trailblazer Wellness. Through her coaching, Becki helps travelers build the strength, stamina, and confidence they need to take on meaningful adventures without feeling overwhelmed by the physical or mental preparation. Her work is especially valuable for people preparing for big hikes, cycling trips, Camino-style journeys, Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, and other active travel experiences that stretch the edge of their comfort zone.Becki brings together personal training, coaching, and her own extensive adventure travel background. She has summited Kilimanjaro, hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, completed the Portuguese Camino from Porto to Santiago, and taken on numerous multi-day hiking and cycling trips around the world. Over the past several years, she has supported more than 100 clients preparing for adventures in 27 countries, helping them move from uncertainty to readiness so they can enjoy the journey before the journey — and the trip itself.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Becki Rupp, founder of Trailblazer Wellness, about helping travelers prepare for the adventures they have dreamed about for years. Becki explains how adventure travel coaching goes beyond simply handing someone a workout plan. For many travelers, especially those joining group trips or taking on a physically demanding itinerary, the real work involves building confidence, managing fears, staying accountable, and learning how to enjoy the experience rather than worry about holding others back.Becki shares how her own path combined a lifelong curiosity about the world, a love of movement, and years of experience in fitness, coaching, and communications. From childhood memories of watching her grandparents' travel slideshows to eventually hiking iconic routes like Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, and the Camino, Becki's story reveals how travel, preparation, and personal growth can become deeply connected.Jason and Becki also explore the emotional side of adventure travel: why people worry about being last in the group, how partners and friends may not always know how to support a big travel dream, and why having someone in your corner can make the difference between merely completing a trip and truly experiencing it. Becki's approach helps travelers prepare their bodies while also reconnecting with the deeper reason they said yes to the adventure in the first place.

June 17th, 2014. George became a New York Times bestselling author. He'd worked toward it for two years. Had it written in a contract with his coach. Left a party thrown in his honor because he felt absolutely nothing. Not relief. Not arrival. Just: what's next? If you've ever hit the thing and still felt empty, this episode is for you. A false summit is when you crest a ridge thinking you've reached the top, only to find another peak above you. In business, it happens constantly. In this solo episode, George breaks down why hitting your goals still leaves you hollow, who's actually moving the goalpost, and the three-question summit audit that tells you whether you're climbing your mountain or someone else's. What You'll Learn In This Episode: What a false summit is and why it's the most accurate metaphor for entrepreneurship Why you are the one moving the goalpost (and the surprising reason why) The difference between achievement and arrival and why they're not the same thing Why most entrepreneurs aren't chasing success, they're running from something The one question Sean Swarner asks that brings people to tears on Kilimanjaro The three-question summit audit to run right now How to define "enough" and why that definition changes everything Key Takeaways: ✔️Achievement without arrival is exhaustion with a good story. Collecting milestones without feeling them isn't growth, it's accumulation. ✔️You move the goalpost. Not the market, not the industry. You. Because as long as there's always somewhere to get to, you never have to ask whether this is truly what you want. ✔️Sitting feels dangerous when momentum gives us the illusion of safety. So our brain moves the bar before we can stop and feel whether we actually got there. ✔️Most entrepreneurs stop chasing their own definition of success and start performing what success looks like for other people, slowly, subtly, without noticing. ✔️The gap between fulfillment and achievement is not a strategy problem. It's an alignment problem. Specifically: the gap between what you say you want and what you actually want. ✔️If nobody was watching, nobody knew, and you were doing it alone, would you still want to climb this mountain? The answer tells you everything. ✔️The only guaranteed finish line is death. The question is: what are you climbing toward in the life you have right now? ✔️The summit audit: three questions to ask yourself: What feeling do you expect when you hit your next milestone? Is that the feeling you actually want, or the one others want you to have? And if everything else was stripped away, what would enough feel like in your body?

#ultramarathon #cysticfibrosis #sophiegraceholmes #storytimepodcast #marathon Joshua sits down with Sophie Grace Holmes — ultra-endurance athlete, world record holder, fitness coach, and public speaker.Living with cystic fibrosis, Sophie was once told she had only a few years to live. Today, she's completed 36 marathons in 36 days, summited Kilimanjaro, and continues to push the limits of human endurance.From overcoming adversity to chasing world-class challenges, this is a powerful conversation about resilience, mindset, and refusing to accept limitations.

Join legendary coach Mark Gottfried and Bonner Paddock on The Coach Mark Gottfried Show for one of the most powerful conversations this show has ever had. Bonner Paddock was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as a child and spent nearly three decades hiding it from the world. Then a four-year-old boy named Jake changed everything. Bonner met Jake at a marathon finish line. Jake's father carried him across. Jake died that same night. Bonner had known him for ten minutes. That loss didn't just move Bonner. It broke something open in him — and rebuilt him into something remarkable. He went on to become the first person with cerebral palsy to summit Mount Kilimanjaro unassisted, and the first to complete the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. He's raised over a million dollars for children with disabilities through his OM Foundation and is the bestselling author of One More Step. But this episode isn't really about mountains or finish lines. It's about what happens when you finally stop hiding who you are. It's about the friendship Bonner built with Jake's father — a bond forged through a marathon, a tragedy, and a shared belief that even in the darkest moments, you can still do greatness. And it's about what Bonner discovered when he stood at the top of Kilimanjaro, came back down, and fell into a year and a half of depression — only to realize that the poorest person in the room wasn't a villager in Tanzania with a sheet-metal roof. It was him. Mark and Bonner go deep on vulnerability, purpose, the cost of individualism, and what real community actually looks like when you strip away everything else. This one will stay with you.

Kelly Piquet was born into Formula 1 royalty. Her father is Nelson Piquet, a three-time world champion. Her partner is Max Verstappen, a four-time champion. She has millions of followers watching her life, and most of them think they know her. They don't. This is the first time Kelly has sat down for a real conversation, and she goes places she never has before. She talks about growing up inside a name that opened every door, then walking away from it at eighteen to move to New York and become nobody. About the version of herself who climbed Kilimanjaro on a whim, and where that fearlessness went. About what it actually takes to protect your own identity inside the most-watched relationship in sport, to build a modern partnership where two ambitious people refuse to disappear into each other. About raising children in the glare of it all, and why she's decided that not every meaningful moment deserves an audience. It's a conversation about being seen versus being known, about holding on to yourself when the world has already written your story, and about the quiet cost of a life that belongs to everyone but you.

On this episode of the Your Message Received podcast, host John Duffin interviews Dr. Jack Groppel, author of Mountains Within and a sports science and human performance expert who co-founded the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute. Groppel recounts a childhood shaped by curiosity, solitude, sports, and a difficult, fear-based relationship with his father that drove him to overachieve. This pivotal early relationship included a severe beating that drove Jack to seek approval and constantly question if he was good enough. Through achievements like becoming an Eagle Scout early and walking on to play tennis at the University of Illinois despite not being recruited, Jack Groppel answered some of these questions- at least in his own mind. Jack describes pioneering high-speed film analysis in tennis and an early baseball study with the Chicago White Sox that unexpectedly captured pitchers' pickoff moves, leading to published research on head-first vs. feet-first slides. Groppel also shares adopting his son Shen from China, committing to a nonviolent parenting approach, climbing Kilimanjaro together, and his message that people can transform at any stage by repeatedly asking, “What matters most right now?”To learn more about Dr. Jack Groppel, check out the links below. https://jackgroppel.net/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackgroppel/00:00 Hidden Film Discovery00:47 Podcast Intro and Guest Setup03:19 Curious Childhood Outdoors04:20 Solo Sports and Cardinals Loyalty07:20 Dad the Hero and Villain10:24 Eagle Scout and Illinois Walk On12:39 Shoulder Injury and Recovery16:40 Alaska Trip Turning Point19:06 Tennis Science Meets Legends23:01 White Sox Film Breakthrough26:56 Adopting Shen from China28:49 Discipline Without Hitting30:09 Saying I Love You31:04 Marriage And Intimacy Lessons31:47 Faith Therapy And Mentors34:03 Adopting Shen In China36:17 Kilimanjaro Dream With Shen41:46 Summit Night And Big Dog44:33 Transform Your Life Message46:51 What Matters Most Daily48:03 Honoring Dad And Priorities49:47 Links Thanks And Signoff

Planiranje kao najsnažniji alat za osobni razvoj: ako želiš planiranje pretvoriti u svoj najsnažniji alat za osobni rast i napokon ostvariti ciljeve bez odgađanja vlastitog života, klikni na link i pridruži mi se u edukaciji Mentor pri ruci https://saraperanic.com/mentor-pri-ruci/U ovoj epizodi s vama radim duboki osvrt na prvu polovicu godine i želim vam pokazati kako planiranje nije samo matematičko raspoređivanje obaveza u rokovnik, već izuzetno snažan alat za osobni razvoj. Često zaboravljamo da su naši ciljevi duboko povezani s time tko uistinu želimo postati, a iz vlastitog iskustva znam da upravo iz te autentične povezanosti crpimo motivaciju i dugoročnu dosljednost u radu, čak i kada nam ponestane inspiracije. Kroz iskrenu priču o prolaznosti vremena i onome što me oblikovalo, dijelim s vama kako više ne stavljam vlastiti život na čekanje, već preuzimam odgovornost za mir u svojoj svakodnevici usklađujući poslovne ambicije s privatnim željama.S obzirom na to da nam životna dinamika neprestano donosi promjene, fleksibilnost plana je presudna kada nastupe nepredviđene okolnosti, bilo da je riječ o predivnim novim prilikama za putovanja ili teškim obiteljskim izazovima o kojima ovdje otvoreno progovaram. Umjesto da čekate savršene uvjete za ostvarenje snova, važno je da vam iskreno samopropitivanje posluži kao alat kako biste znali prilagoditi svoje korake i ostati vjerni vlastitoj mjeri balansa. Za sam kraj pripremila sam vam i konkretna pitanja za analizu dosadašnjih rezultata, jer vjerujem da nam prava refleksija pomaže da drugu polovicu godine isplaniramo pametno, usmjereno i bez straha od neproživljenog života.Pridruži mi se ovog ljeta u edukaciji Mentor pri ruci, gdje ćemo kroz konkretnu strategiju, rad na mindsetu i prodaji napokon ostvariti sve one ciljeve o kojima već predugo samo promišljaš. Nemoj čekati da se savršene okolnosti poslože same od sebe – klikni na link https://saraperanic.com/mentor-pri-ruci/, osiguraj svoje mjesto i idemo zajedno isplanirati tvoju najuspješniju i najispunjeniju polovicu godine do sada!U ovoj epizodi saznat ćeš:Zašto planiranje nije samo puko upisivanje obaveza u tablice i rokovnike, već moj najsnažniji alat za osobni razvoj.Kako me rano suočavanje s prolaznošću života naučilo da vrijeme nepovratno odlazi i zašto više nikada ne stavljam vlastiti život na čekanje.Pravu tajnu dosljednosti i kako ostati motivirana i ustrajna u svojim ciljevima čak i kada inspiracija padne.Zašto tvoj plan ne smije biti uklesan u kamen, već mora imati fleksibilnost koja će podržati životnu spontanost (poput mog uspona na Kilimanjaro), ali i teške, nepredviđene okolnosti.Zbog čega je čekanje "savršenih uvjeta" najveća zamka koja te sprječava da ostvariš svoje poduzetničke i privatne ambicije.Konkretna i pomalo škakljiva pitanja za duboku refleksiju koja će ti pomoći da drugu polovicu godine isplaniraš potpuno u skladu sa sobom i time tko zaista želiš postati.

Judgement Creates Suffering. Self-Assessment Creates Growth. We all make mistakes. But too often, we turn those mistakes into an identity. There’s a world of difference between honestly assessing your behaviour and judging your worth as a person. Self-assessment helps you learn, adapt and improve. Self-judgement creates shame, self-doubt and unnecessary suffering. In this episode of the Building Better Humans Project, Glenn explores why the stories we tell ourselves after failure matter more than the failure itself. You’ll learn how to take responsibility without attacking your character, why shame keeps us stuck, and how shifting your internal dialogue can transform both your personal and professional life. If you’ve ever called yourself lazy, weak, not good enough or a failure after making a mistake, this episode is for you. In this episode, you’ll learn: The critical difference between self-assessment and self-judgement. Why behaviour should never be confused with identity. How shame sabotages growth and confidence. The military’s After Action Review and how you can apply it to your own life. Practical ways to replace self-criticism with constructive accountability. Why your next decision matters more than your last one. Key Takeaways Assess your actions, not your worth. Behaviour is data. Identity is a choice. Mistakes are events—not definitions of who you are. Accountability and self-compassion can exist together. Growth begins when honesty replaces self-criticism. Challenge of the Week Before you go to bed each night, spend five minutes reflecting on your day by asking yourself: What did I do well? What could I have done better? What’s one thing I’ll improve tomorrow? No judgement. No labels. Just honest reflection and a commitment to keep moving forward. Memorable Quote “You’re not defined by your worst decision. You’re defined by what you choose to do next.” Enjoying the Building Better Humans Project? Please subscribe, leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs the reminder that growth comes through honest reflection—not self-condemnation.

Leadership isn't about looking strong… it's about becoming who you're meant to be. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with executive leadership coach, speaker, and founder of My Impossible, Jeff Harmon, to explore a remarkable journey of resilience, vulnerability, and transformation.  After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, Jeff found himself facing challenges that would ultimately lead him to one of the world's most ambitious adventures: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair. But this conversation goes far beyond the mountain. Jeff shares how entrepreneurship, disability, leadership, and faith shaped his understanding of resilience, not as performance or toughness, but as a daily choice rooted in gratitude, authenticity, and community.  Together, Jeff and Dr. Dan explore what happens when pressure reveals who we really are, why vulnerability is one of the greatest leadership strengths, and how our biggest breakthroughs often come after the climb is over. This episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges are often invitations to grow, connect, and become more fully ourselves. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why resilience is a choice, not a personality trait How adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth The difference between performing leadership and embodying leadership Why vulnerability builds trust and influence The power of community when facing life's biggest challenges What Jeff learned from leading a Mount Kilimanjaro expedition How to develop true inner authority and authentic confidence Why the lessons from your "mountain" often come after the experience ends For more information visit myimpossible.org.

Aos 12 anos de idade, ele correu 43 quilômetros. Pouco depois completou sua primeira maratona e, em 1998, fez o primeiro Ironman de Porto Seguro. Depois de mais de uma década dedicada ao triathlon, passou a buscar desafios em ambientes extremos ao redor do mundo. A estreia nas ultramaratonas aconteceu na Antártica. Venceu a Ice Marathon e, no dia seguinte, também ganhou a prova de 100 quilômetros, estabelecendo um recorde. Mais tarde encarou os 250 quilômetros da Marathon des Sables, no deserto do Saara, além de uma ultra no Nepal. Parte dessas experiências acabou registrada em episódios do Planeta Extremo, exibido pela TV Globo. Alguns anos depois ele decidiu se aventurar em expedições de montanha. Subiu o Kilimanjaro, o Aconcágua, o Elbrus, além do Huascarán e do Quitaraju, no Peru e a Pirâmide Cartenz na Indonésia. Em 2018, encarou o Manaslu, no Himalaia. Em 2023 realizou a façanha de escalar o Monte Everest. A expedição aconteceu em uma temporada histórica no Everest, marcada pela letalidade, superlotação e pelas longas filas na chamada zona da morte. A experiência deu origem ao documentário Um Passo a Mais, lançado em 2025, que acompanha uma expedição sustentável ao Everest e propõe uma reflexão sobre o impacto ambiental causado pelo excesso de pessoas na montanha. Em paralelo ao esporte e às aventuras, trabalhou durante alguns anos no mercado financeiro até decidir empreender. Criou então a X3M para organizar o primeiro XTERRA no Brasil, projeto que mais tarde se transformaria em um circuito e incorporaria provas de corrida e mountain bike. De volta conosco hoje, o administrador de empresas que saiu do mercado financeiro para criar a X3M, agência especializada em experiências e eventos esportivos. O atleta aventureiro e inquieto com 13 Ironman no currículo, faixa azul de jiu-jitsu, piloto de moto, paraquedista e montanhista que se tornou o 35. brasileiro a alcançar o topo do Everest, o carioca Bernardo Pereira Mascarenhas da Fonseca.

Antonina "Tonya" Samoilova (@tonya.samoilova) ) is a record-setting Ukrainian mountaineer and alpinist known for scaling the world's most formidable peaks while raising global awareness for her homeland. She began her high-altitude mountaineering journey relatively recently in 2018, starting with Mount Kilimanjaro, and quickly transformed into one of Ukraine's most prominent endurance athletes. She is the first Ukrainian mountaineer in history to conquer the five highest mountain peaks in the world—Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, and Makalu, and the first Ukrainian woman to summit Mount Everest three times (2022, 2023, and 2024). In May 2024, she completed a rare double-header by summiting Everest and Lhotse within 24 hours, setting a national speed record for a female climber. During her 2025 ascent of Kangchenjunga—the world's third-highest peak—she survived running out of supplemental air 200 meters from the summit, pushing through 20 harrowing minutes without oxygen at 8,400 meters. Samoilova uses her global platforms and extreme ascents to act as a prominent voice for Ukraine. In 2022, she was the only climber from Ukraine to unfurl her country's flag at the summit of Everest, broadcasting a message to "Stand with Ukraine". In 2023, she made international headlines by capturing the world's first drone footage from the summit of Everest alongside the Ukrainian flag. She frequently uses her expeditions to raise funds for Ukraine's Armed Forces and volunteer medical battalions, often dedicating her dangerous ascents to fallen Ukrainian defenders and her own family serving on the front lines.   Connect with Tonya: https://www.antoninasamoilova.com/ CAPTAIN: THE ATHLETE'S GUIDE TO BEING AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM LEADER is now live on Amazon!  CLICK HERE TO ORDER We are constantly asked "where have all the leaders gone?"

Chuck is a mountain climber, financial guru, college professor, brother, friend, and much more. Here's what grabbed me........Success gets you to the summits of life...significance (from intellectual giants like his parents) teaches you why you made the climb.Chuck spent 25 years on Wall Street in leadership roles at Bloomberg, BlackRock, and Citadel before reinventing himself as a leadership coach, speaker, author, professor, and mountaineer.Today he is the founder of Climb Leadership International and teaches leadership communication at Columbia University. His work focuses on emotional intelligence, executive presence, communication, and resilience. What makes him especially interesting through the Truly Significant lens is that he doesn't teach leadership from theory alone. He uses mountain climbing as a metaphor for life, leadership, and transformation.He has climbed peaks including Kilimanjaro, Elbrus, and the Matterhorn, and often connects lessons from the mountains to moments of personal reinvention. His most recent book, The Moment That Defines Your Life, explores how emotional intelligence and Stoic philosophy help people navigate defining moments when careers, families, and identities are on the line. What is Truly Significant About Chuck Garcia? Not the titles. Not Wall Street. Not the mountains.What's significant is that Chuck's career suggests a central truth: Remember.....Success gets you to the summit.

— Today's conversation explores what happens when the old strategy of "pushing through" stops working—and how resilience can be reinvented into a way of living, not just surviving. Nancy and I had a candid, hopeful conversation about learning to live differently after injury and chronic pain. We cover meaningful reflections on shifting identity, the emotional toll of being told you're "fine," rebuilding trust with your body, and the surprising possibilities that open when you stop forcing the old path. This episode is for anyone exhausted by effort that no longer yields results—and for anyone ready to discover a new kind of well-being rooted in acceptance, curiosity, and practical change. Valeria interviews Nancy Deyo  — She is a former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford University Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow whose career and identity were upended by chronic pain and disability.  After a spinal injury on Mount Kilimanjaro, she spent fifteen years navigating chronic illness, opioid dependence, medical uncertainty, and identity collapse. Once accustomed to a life of constant motion—leading a technology company and traveling the world—pain forced Nancy to live lying down, as the strategies that had defined her no longer worked. When medicine offered no clear answers, she explored everything from cutting-edge treatments to energy healers and shamans. The turning point was not a cure, but a shift: learning to rebuild her life within the constraints of chronic pain. She returned to the world on new terms—attending graduate school lying on an army cot and eventually resuming travel and work the same way. Today, Nancy writes and speaks about chronic pain, identity, and resilience. Her forthcoming memoir is Perilous Ascent.

New York Times bestselling author Kimberly McCreight delivers a tour de force of character-driven suspense with her latest novel, Someone Else's Husband (Knopf, 2026), the story of two women whose secrets and desires entrap them in a deadly love triangle. You had to rely on the power of love. That he loved you enough not to do the thing that would break your heart. It was paper-thin ice on which to stake your survival. Gretchen Falk, a Park Avenue sophisticate born into great wealth and blessed with a storybook marriage, knows she lives a charmed life, and she's not about to risk losing any part of it. That's why she tried to convince Richard, her devoted husband and the father to their three children, not to join his old college friends on an expedition almost eight thousand miles away, to the imposing peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Little did she know that the beautiful artist climbing alongside him might prove the far greater danger. Frankie Callahan's dream of artistic success is within reach, with her career-making exhibition at a celebrated New York gallery only weeks away. If all goes well, the show will leave her financially independent, free of the tainted money that ties her to a past—and a man—she's desperate to escape. To mark this new beginning, she is going to climb Kilimanjaro. But when she learns she's the sole female accompanying a group of male friends, Frankie realizes that nothing about the trip will be as she expected. She certainly hasn't counted on meeting anyone like the very charismatic, very rich, very married Richard Falk. By the time they descend—with one fewer in their group than when they began—they have lost more than they ever could have imagined. Now, less than two weeks after their return to New York, Frankie's East Village loft is a blood-soaked crime scene, and Richard has been charged with her murder. It falls to Gretchen to figure how the life she so carefully constructed could have imploded so completely. There are only two things she knows for sure: she's the only woman Richard has ever loved, and he would never hurt anyone. Someone Else's Husband is the sweeping and suspenseful story of two women on a collision course with love—and with each other—in which no one is right and everyone is very, very wrong.

Rick Chess, attorney, real estate strategist, capital-raising expert, and trusted advisor, is passionate about helping entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners navigate complex decisions that can dramatically impact enterprise value and long-term success. Throughout a career spanning more than five decades, Rick has raised over $100 million for multiple organizations, guided companies through acquisitions, governance challenges, and strategic growth, and helped owners prepare for successful exits. We explore The Capital Raising Framework — Focus on Individuals, Not “the Market”; Be Ready to Sell; Start With Who You Know; Connect on Emotion; and Find a Problem to Solve. Rick explains why raising capital is ultimately about understanding people, not pitching ideas, why investors care more about their needs than your opportunity, and how trust-based relationships create opportunities that compound over time. He also shares lessons from raising capital, building influential networks, serving on boards, and helping entrepreneurs avoid costly mistakes when pursuing funding, growth, and exit strategies. — How to be a Trusted Advisor with Rick Chess  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Rick Chess, who is a real estate and exit strategist. He helps business and real estate owners, and the trusted advisors who guide them, turn complex decisions into strategic moves that grow enterprise value and maximize sale outcomes. Rick, welcome to the show.  Thank you. Appreciate it, Steve.  Well, it’s great to have you. And I’m going to ask you my favorite question, which I always ask: What is your personal ‘Why’, and what are you doing to manifest it in your practice?  When you go back in my career, 50-some years, where I’ve been most happy is either growing an organization. That can be a community, that can be a business, it can be an association. And then, at some point, individuals in that association want to move on, whether that’s to retire, to go someplace else, or whatever. And I find that in that world, there are certain things where they might have a Steve Preda who helps them with how to manage day to day. But they get to certain big issues that they’ve never done before, and maybe they’ll never do again. That’s where I like to come in because I know I’m critically important to them. So you’re a trusted advisor. You like to grapple with the big challenges people have in their lives, whether it’s a big real estate transaction, getting ready for an exit, an acquisition, or something like that.  Yeah.  Yeah.  So, I mean, the things that would be—for instance, most folks, if they’re talking about real estate, they have some idea how to fix a toilet. They have some idea how to buy a property. But when they get to a certain point, it’s like, “We need to raise $10,000. We need to raise $100 million,” whatever the amount is, because there’s either a great opportunity or they want to keep moving upward. And they have, again, a Steve Preda who can help them through the process. How they get that capital often is what trips people up. So that’s where I kind of first got into this.  I was an acquisition guy. I knew how to spend other people’s money, but I didn’t know at that time how to raise the money. And I’ve done it several times. I’ve raised $100 million for three different companies. And like everything in life, like with Summit, there is a process that you go through. And I love doing it. I just love doing that kind of stuff.  Okay. So when you are doing capital raising, fundraising, M&A deals, or real estate transactions, is there a framework that has helped you, that you figured out along the way? And think about something that is three to five steps. Maybe it’s a mental model of how you look at things, or maybe it’s a process. How would you describe that framework that you have, or that has helped you, so that the listeners would also benefit from it?  The listeners are best served if they step back from their preconceived notions of, A, how they think capital is attracted, because they usually are wrong. And they step back from how wonderful they are. And those two things are difficult. Because the reality is, no one is waiting to give you money. That’s foolish. You’ve got to sell the concept like you have to sell everything else. And what you sell is not what you think is wonderful. It’s what the market is going to think is wonderful. It’s like with any other product you’re making. “Hey, I made this great widget.” And the population looks at it and says, “I don’t need it. I don’t want it. I don’t know what it does.”  And depending on whether you’re trying to raise $100,000 from friends and family or $100 million on Wall Street, you look at who it is that you know. Because people that you know might at least return your phone call. So if you don’t know Bill Gates, thinking that you’re going to go to Bill Gates and get a billion dollars is, well, stup*d. But if you’re just trying to raise money from friends and family, and you have an aunt who lives three states away that you don’t see very often, and she has some money, okay, then you start with who you know. So, for instance, thinking about one of the many ways that you can raise money, there’s something called intrastate. And it is something that’s allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. If all of your money is raised within your own state, there are certain allowances for that.  But if you do one transaction outside the state, it all collapses. So like everything else on the business side, where there are certain rules that you can’t violate without getting into trouble, it’s the same thing when raising money. And I get so many people saying, “I’m going to list this on Wall Street, and I’m going to make…” It’s like, “No, you don’t. You better be prepared. If you’re going to list something on Wall Street, you’d better have $25 million that you can risk just to get it out there. And nine times out of ten you’re going to fail.” Not because there’s anything wrong with you.  It’s just that if you’re going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a pair of Keds, a T-shirt, and some shorts, you’re not prepared to climb that mountain. It’s no different when raising capital. And also think about when you were a kid. At a certain age, your parents let you cross the street to see your buddy. Then ten years later, they’ll let you get in the car and drive, but you’ve got to get home by midnight. It’s the same thing with raising money. And there aren’t a lot of folks who have done what I’ve done. So talking to your local lawyer or accountant—who may be wonderful people—but if they’ve never raised money, they’re not the people to talk to.  One of the ways people get taken advantage of on a regular basis is they’ll go to a securities attorney. The securities attorney will charge them $100,000 and write this great offering document, and no one ever gives them a penny. Because lawyers generally have no clue what’s happening in the marketplace. I own my own securities broker-dealer. I’ve also raised money for three different companies. It’s not easy. But like having read your book, Steve, if you follow certain paths, there’s at least a chance for success. Same thing here. Fascinating. So what I’m taking away in terms of a framework: Be aware that people are not out there waiting to give you money. You have to sell them. So that’s the first step. The second one is: start with who you know. Don’t start on Wall Street. Start with the people you know, where you have some trust, the people you understand, and where you have a chance to get there. And then look at some special circumstance that’s going to give you a leg up. For example—  Absolutely. Again, this is coming right out of your book on the business side. You create a widget. So what? But you create a widget that solves a problem. Ah. Then you have something. So it’s the same thing. When you get over onto the money-raising side, it’s: who do you know? Where do they live? How much money do they have? How do I approach them? But then, in the end, it’s not what’s in it for you, it’s what’s in it for them. And for them, if it’s friends and family, your mama may give you some money because she thinks you’re cute.  Your aunt might give you some money because she’s related to your mama. But at some point, you’re going to people who really have a checkbook. They have money in the checkbook. They’re not going to give this up just because you’re cute or you have a great idea. You’re either going to get them because you have something they’ve never heard of, or you have something that really feels like it could solve one of their needs. And their needs are not always what you think. Some people think, “Well, what they need is high cash flow.” What if they don’t need cash flow, but they’re really interested in a cure for cancer?  What if you think, “Well, it’s really going to go up in value”? Well, they have all the money they need. They’re not looking for that. But is this something that is going to allow their nephew to come work for you? Yeah. When you start thinking that you know what other people are thinking, that’s when you’re going to fail. When you can step back and just ask them, “Well, what’s important to you?” If you can’t have a conversation, one, you’re never going to date anybody, and you’re never going to raise any money.  And don’t be slick. You can be slick for three sentences, and at that point they’re going to reject everything you say thereafter. So don’t talk about how much money you’re going to make and all the rest of it. No. Talk about them. Talk about them. Talk about them. Your document should talk about them. Your questions should talk about them. Now, does that mean there are certain people who won’t put money into your deal? Yes, because it doesn’t fit. If you sell high-heeled shoes and a runner comes in, they’re generally not going to buy your high-heeled shoes. They’re not going to invest money in high-heeled shoes.  But if that high-heeled shoe actually is a running shoe, and you can break off the heel and then… I mean, I don’t know. You could come up with something there. And the folks that say no are sometimes your biggest advocates. What? The folks that… Yes. Because you’ve been able to get into their head, and they’ve shaken it around, and they’ve looked at it and said, “No, that’s probably not right for me. I’m not into high-heeled shoes, but I have a friend.” If you’ve done a sincere job, a thoughtful job, you’ve really asked them questions, and you’ve connected on an emotional level, they’ll open the next door. And that’s what it’s about. It’s often a lot of the same things that you teach people about how to sell their company. It’s how they sell—  Rick, this is fascinating. So how do you connect with people on an emotional level? What’s the trick there?  First thing is: why are they going to take a meeting with you? Why they take a meeting with you answers almost everything that we’ve just asked. If they’re taking a meeting with you because you’re related, okay, that’s the emotional connection. If they take a meeting with you because some friend of yours called them and said, “This is a great way to make money,” that’s another reason. If you found them in an article in the paper—yes, there are things called newspapers. They print them. There are words in them. And there’s somebody in there who has shown an interest in something you do.  Then you’re talking to them about that interest. You want to try to avoid cold calls. Really, it’s a waste of your time and a waste of their time. It’s a random thing. It’s like asking every girl who walks by in college, “Do you want to go out on a date?” Sometimes it works. You get slapped a lot, get arrested, and what have you. There’s this thing called the internet, Steve. And what shocks me is how few people—not just my age, but young pups—say, “Well, that’s for watching YouTube videos.” No.  Through the internet, you have so much information. So maybe I can’t find anything about Johnny Jones, but his kids are on there and what sports they play. Huh. Okay, so I used to do judo. I did three years of judo in high school. If somebody’s doing karate or whatever, I have an opening. I have something to talk about. Now, it’s great if what you have to talk about then connects to something else that they want. It’s a linking process of connecting various things together. It’s what I did… I told you I was a member of the General Assembly in Pennsylvania way back in the ’70s.  And I learned there that if I could get people talking about themselves, or their next-door neighbor, or some relative… What’s funny is people are much more likely to tell you about somebody else. So when I go into a company—this is just a side note—when I’m doing due diligence and I really want to know their financial condition, I’m not going to get it from the CFO. I’m going to get it from somebody over in property management. Why? Because the property management person knows not to tell me anything secret about property management, but they’ll talk about finances all the time. And it’s the same thing. If I’m in a family and I want to know about Daddy, I talk to the daughter.  If I want to know about a neighbor, I talk to a neighbor. I can go to the post office. Everything you ever need to position yourself to sell is out there waiting for you. But you’ve got to get out of your head what you think the market is about and start thinking about individuals within the market. And accept that when I’ve raised money, 70% to 80% of the people I call on don’t do a deal with me. But of that 70%, half of them lead me to somebody else. And I keep up with them. They become my support group. They become my unofficial advisors. Because I’m a decent guy, they want me to succeed. And once they know I’m not bugging them anymore, I say, “Hey, you told me I should go talk to such-and-such.  Here’s what I heard.” And then the network just expands. And occasionally, that person who said no has somebody new come into their life and says, “You need to go talk to Rick Chess.” And sometimes the next time I’m raising money, their situation is different. So the person who told me no originally has seen me work the market and close the deal. It’s amazing how attractive an opportunity is once you can’t put any more money into it. And so you let them know, “I know it wasn’t the right time for you to come into my deal, but we did buy this company. We’ve doubled their…” Whatever it is. You continue to work with them. If somebody is willing to give you time on the phone, on Zoom, at a coffee shop, or wherever, they’re your friend for life. They don’t know that yet, but you’re going to make them your friend for life. It’s the old six degrees of separation—the Kevin Bacon game.  Everybody’s related to somebody somewhere. And it’s what makes this fun for me. You were talking before about growing an exit. I love the process of putting together the network and feeding the network. There are people I’ve known for 50 years that I still talk with.  You’re very good at connecting people and making them look good with other people that you connect them to. It’s very gratifying. So this is a long game, right? Absolutely.  It’s a long game because you’re being decent. You listen to people. You find something that helps them. You learn what they need, what is the itch that needs to be scratched, and then you connect people who can help them scratch that itch. And then they will reciprocate, and it becomes a self-perpetuating process.  Well, I mean, an example is the work that I do in North Carolina with a family that owns 44 hotels. A woman who was my CPA left the CPA firm and became the family officer for a large family here in Richmond. A friend of hers who does advisory work with family offices was giving up on a client. So she told my friend, who used to be a CPA. She introduced me to them and said, “Would you be willing to serve on the board of a private company?” I said, “Well, do they pay?” I used to be on the board of a public company, and after a certain age, you’re not attractive anymore.  After a certain age, they want you off the board because the institutions say, “We want a mix on the board. So I got introduced to these people, and I’ve had a great time. Members of the family have hired me for other work, and it just goes on and on. But I’ve learned that you’ve got to pay it forward. So I have students of mine from VCU who I’ve helped place in jobs. I keep up with them. I give them ideas. And they’re often shocked to find that I’m still in touch with them. I’m not asking them for anything. I’m just saying, “Look, I paid it forward to you. Now it’s your turn to pay it forward to somebody else.” And some of them are doing it. Some of them haven’t caught on yet.  But it is the circle of life, and it’s all tied together. And there are skills you have that I don’t have. There are skills I have that you don’t have. We both have folks that work with business brokers because they have a different drive. But it’s also self-selecting. There are a lot of people you’ve met that you don’t do business with. There are a lot of people I’ve met that I don’t do business with. If you’re going to get into raising money, doing governance, or doing exit planning, whatever it may be, one of the most important things is saying no. Or, “No, I don’t want to work with this person.” You can always be friendly with them. Yeah. But I try to fire a client every month. Somebody that just doesn’t fit for me ethically. Yeah. Or I don’t think there’s anything more I can do for them.  I pass off legal work to other attorneys in Virginia. I’m the chair of the Real Property Section of the state bar. There are 1,550 attorneys. I have plenty of attorneys that I can pass things on to, and they’re happy to get the business, and I’m happy. I’ve got somebody that I’ve referred that’s happy that I’ve referred them. My biggest challenge, my wife would say, my son would say, is that I’m a squirrel chaser. Something new and interesting comes along, and I want to get involved with it. And I’ve wasted so much time. So I’m working with this hotel group down in North Carolina. The last time I had worked with a hotel company was 30 years earlier. Two owners couldn’t agree on a direction.  I worked with them for six months. We made a decision. It was great work. I learned a lot about hotels. But I then went 30 years without applying the same skills. And that’s one thing that, with age, I’ve realized. I am better off saying: “I’ll help you with capital, I’ll help you with governance, and when you’re ready, I’ll help you exit.” That’s it.  Yeah.  If it’s not one of those three, I’ll talk about it.  Yeah.  I’ll listen to you. You don’t want to engage me.  Yeah. I mean, people want deep expertise. They don’t want generalists. They want someone who knows what they’re talking about and who can link them to other resources who also know what they’re talking about. And in today’s age, I think this is becoming more important again. Because of the internet, there was a disintermediation going on, but now there is a reintermediation, I believe. Because there’s so much noise out there, you don’t know what is true and what is fake. AI is creating a lot of fake stuff.  The only people you can really trust are the people who are in front of you, or someone recommends them whom you trust. It’s a transparency thing. So I think what you’re doing is very valuable. It’s going to become even more valuable. And knowledge is ubiquitous. You can ask ChatGPT, and it will give you an answer. But how do you get the trust? How do you get the emotion? How do you get the relationships? That’s all human stuff. And if you still have that, then you’ve got what is valuable.  Well, I have a friend of mine who wrote a book, and he wrote it as a fable. What I love about it is that I know the true story behind the fable. And what comes across in every single chapter is that, with that trust, people who were afraid took a step. And often that is the hardest thing. So I go to the gym six days a week, and the gym is hard. Getting in the car to drive there is the hard part. Once I’m there, I’m around friends, I work hard, I sweat, I get better. Getting in that car and driving down the drive…  So in your fable, in your book, and in most of where I’ve had success, I would love to say it was because I was brilliant. Eh, sometimes I will say I was brilliant. But let me give you an example. United Dominion Realty Trust, now based in Denver and originally based here in Richmond, has been around for 35 years. It was one of the original five REITs in the country—real estate investment trusts. I came in as acquisitions director. They hadn’t closed a deal in a year. I closed three in the first three months. I grew the firm tenfold in 10 years, and I had great people. Buddy Scott as an analyst. Catherine Surface as an attorney.  But what I did was look at it and say, “Does anybody know what we’re trying to buy?” Because they had no acquisition criteria. So I wrote a one-page acquisition criteria document and put it out to everybody who had ever submitted a deal. Oh, and we weren’t responding to the submissions. So a submission would come in, they would look at it and say, “Okay, that doesn’t work.” But they never told anybody no. So one of my rules was that anything that came in would get a response within 48 hours.  And it should be specific. “We don’t like this because of the city.” “We don’t like this because of the roof.” Something specific, because I knew they’d pay attention. And by responding within 48 hours, we went from struggling to get submissions to doubling our submissions within a year. Because people were like, “Oh, we know what they want. We know they will respond.” And then—and this probably sounds outrageous—we celebrated. We put out a newsletter every month. This is back when you mailed things, so we’re going way back into the dinosaur era. But anytime a broker brought us something that we bought, we would do a full-page spread on the broker. We were marketing him or her.  People loved us. And they would tell others about us. So owners would know that if they came to us, we’d make a fair offer and we’d move on. So I would love to say that’s because I was a great attorney. I would love to say that’s because I was insightful. It was just like, “Well, damn, this is obvious.” And reading some of your stuff, I’ve seen you point that out to people time and time again.  You give me too much credit. But yeah, I mean, if you’re there, they say that if you work hard for 25 years, you can become an overnight success. So yeah, it does get obvious when you’ve been studying it long and hard. Well, listen, Rick, that’s been wonderful. So what is your final thought for an entrepreneur, a young entrepreneur or founder who’s coming up? Maybe he’s in real estate. Maybe he’s trying to be successful. What’s the most important mindset for an entrepreneur to become successful?  Well, I mean, you’ve got to know something. I mean, you either need to really know construction, or you’ve got to really know how to lease a space. If you’re going into it like they do on HDTV, like, “Oh, we’re going to find this property and it’s going to be…” You’re going to fail. So get good at something. Accept the fact that you’re not going to be good at everything. Find people who fill in the spots where you aren’t good. In the old days, you might have had to hire them. In today’s world, there are fractional CFOs.  And then when you get down to picking your experts—your attorneys, your accountants, the people that cost you real money—ask them a simple question: When was the last time they did whatever it is that you’re trying to do? Not when was the last time they prepared a securities document. When was the last time they prepared a securities document that succeeded? And that’ll knock out two-thirds of them right there.  Love it. That’s fantastic. Well, if you’re listening to this and you want to be successful in business, or you have a business and maybe you’re getting close to retirement and want to figure out how to transition it, how to exit right, and how to structure it… Or maybe you have a family company and you’re trying to put together a board, and you need someone who really understands governance. Or if you’re trying to do a transaction, a merger, or an acquisition, and you need a trusted advisor who will connect you to the right people and help you make it happen, then call Rick Chess. Rick Chess is here in Richmond. He is on LinkedIn. And you have a website as well, Rick, right?  Yep, yep.  What’s your domain?  It’s chesslawfirm.com.  Chesslawfirm.com. So you can go there, and Rick is going to respond because he always does within 24 hours, or 48 hours max, and he’ll help you.

Many men believe depression is a problem to be solved.They believe the answer is more motivation, more discipline, more goals, more productivity, more action.But what if they're asking the wrong question?In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Kevin explores the hidden territory beneath depression—not as a diagnosis or pathology, but as an experience of consciousness itself. This is not a discussion about clinical labels. It is an inquiry into the moments when ambition fades, meaning evaporates, and the fuel that once drove your life no longer seems to work.What happens when the goals that once inspired you stop inspiring you?What happens when success no longer tastes the way you imagined it would?What happens when the identity you've spent years building begins to crack?Drawing from personal experience, spiritual inquiry, coaching, philosophy, and lessons learned on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, Kevin investigates the possibility that depression may not always be a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes it may be evidence that something old is dying.This episode examines the difference between motivation and meaning, the exhaustion of chasing future fulfillment, and the grief that emerges when our deepest assumptions about life begin to fall apart. It explores the uncomfortable space between who we have been and what remains when old identities, ambitions, and expectations lose their power.Along the way, Kevin challenges some of the most common cultural narratives around success, self-improvement, achievement, and personal growth. He asks difficult questions:Who is it that needs motivation?Who is depressed?Who is suffering?And what if the answers we've inherited are preventing us from discovering the truth for ourselves?Rather than offering quick solutions or motivational slogans, this episode invites listeners into a deeper investigation. It is a conversation about awareness, identity, grief, purpose, and the possibility that peace may not be found at the end of the journey, but in the willingness to take the next step without demanding certainty about where the path leads.If you've ever felt exhausted by striving...If you've ever questioned your purpose...If you've ever awakened in the morning wondering what happened to the energy that once carried you forward...This conversation is for you.Because perhaps depression is not always the enemy.Perhaps it is a messenger.And perhaps beneath the collapse of old motivations lies the opportunity to discover a deeper source of action - one that arises not from fear, deficiency, or achievement, but from presence itself.Listen in as Kevin shares one of his most honest and introspective conversations to date, exploring the space between becoming and being, striving and surrender, identity and awareness.
