In this powerful episode, Melissa sits down with Tim Wright — former Lutheran pastor of 41 years, author, and passionate advocate for helping boys grow into strong, compassionate men of character. Melissa begins the conversation with a question many parents of boys are quietly asking: What does it even mean to be a man in today's world? With cultural messages constantly shifting — and often equating masculinity with toxicity — Tim offers a refreshing, grounded perspective. He shares why boys need intentional guidance, not stereotypes. Why strength and compassion are not opposites. And why raising good men starts with developing character — not just behavior. Tim explains how throughout history, many cultures practiced rites of passage to help boys transition into manhood. Today, we often lack those intentional moments. Without guidance, boys will still seek definition — but they may look in the wrong places. Tim shares how simple, intentional experiences can help boys build identity rooted in love, responsibility, empathy, and conviction. He also shares a deeply moving story about the rite of passage ceremony he created for his son when he became a father — gathering strong male figures, reading letters of affirmation, and symbolizing the moment through intentional marking. It's a beautiful picture of what mentorship and generational blessing can look like. The conversation then turns to Tim's middle-grade fantasy series, The Adventures of Toby Baxter. Through adventure, humor, and imagination, Tim weaves character lessons about courage, wisdom, love, grit, and truth into engaging stories designed especially to help boys grow. Melissa and Tim discuss: Why boys need strong male role models beyond just dad The power of language and affirmation ("I love you. I'm proud of you.") How parents can be intentional even if a father is absent Why character must come before labels And how to take back influence in an age of screens and algorithms Tim closes with a simple but powerful reminder: Look your child in the eyes every day and say, "I love you, and I'm proud of you." Because when a child knows they are deeply loved, it becomes a protective force against so much of what culture throws at them.   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.  Links For This Episode: : Tim Wright Books -- The Adventures of Toby Baxter Episode Minute By Minute: 01:00 – Tim's background: pastor, author, and grandfather 03:30 – What does it mean to be a man today? 05:00 – Masculinity vs. "toxic masculinity" 06:30 – Why boys need intentional training 08:00 – The loss of rites of passage in modern culture 10:00 – Character as the foundation of manhood 12:30 – What rites of passage can look like today 14:30 – The ceremony Tim created for his son 16:30 – Why boys need multiple male role models 18:00 – Supporting boys when a father isn't present 20:00 – The Adventures of Toby Baxter series 22:00 – Using story to teach courage, wisdom, and grit 24:00 – Why boys need to rediscover reading 26:00 – Navigating technology and modern parenting 28:00 – Tim's final parenting advice: affirmation and love 30:00 – Where to find Tim's books and resources

Dan Sullivan and Peter Diamandis delve into the transformative power of technology and its ability to turn scarcity into abundance. Peter reflects on his journey as an author, highlighting his earlier book Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think, co-written with Steven Kotler. The discussion emphasizes the broader implications of technology in reshaping our understanding of resources and abundance, setting the stage for future explorations. In this episode: Peter introduces his latest book co-authored by Steven Kotler, We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide For The Age Of Abundance, which explores the exponential growth of abundance through technology and its implications. Peter shares the story of aluminum’s transformation from a precious metal to a common one, illustrating how technology can turn scarcity into abundance. The discussion highlights the downsides of abundance, such as the proliferation of microplastics and the rise in obesity and mental health issues, and how technology can address these problems. The conversation delves into the importance of finding meaning and purpose in a world where technology can meet basic needs, contrasting passive consumption with active, purpose-driven living. Dan and Peter emphasize the role of entrepreneurship and the concept of “agency”—the ability to leverage technological tools to adapt and create value in a rapidly changing world.

In this clinician-focused episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker sits down with Lincoln Stoller to explore how moral gating, progress narratives, and interpretive intrusion quietly shape the therapeutic encounter. Drawing from embodied tracking, neural imprinting, pacing, and relational attunement, this conversation moves beyond technique into the lived tension between guidance and control, confusion and clarity, progress and presence.Together, they examine how unconscious and subconscious patterns surface in the therapy room—especially at the edge point where shame, guilt, and identity defense activate. What happens when the therapist becomes the canvas for projection? When does “progress” become moral pressure? And how do we track rupture before it becomes relational collapse?This episode is grounded in the live exchange between Jeffrey and Lincoln, highlighting the nuanced interplay of boundary, capacity, and commitment in real time .Guest Highlight:Lincoln Stoller is a therapist and educator whose work integrates hypnotherapy, neurofeedback, and experiential reframing, inviting clients into generative confusion as a pathway to change.Three Core TakeawaysProgress vs. PresenceThe drive for forward movement can subtly become moral pressure—both for therapist and client. Tracking embodied cues helps differentiate authentic movement from identity-driven urgency.Moral Gating at the EdgeShame and guilt often surface at the boundary of growth. Without careful pacing and attunement, therapeutic direction can inadvertently reinforce the very defenses it seeks to soften.Relational Field AwarenessSubtle cues—eye aversion, breath shifts, withdrawal—signal rupture before narrative explanation does. Regulation and sequencing matter more than insight alone.Timestamp00:03 – Framing the Conversation04:30 – Client Story vs. Therapeutic Direction17:55 – Progress, Suggestion, and Intrusion24:48 – Tracking Rupture in Real Time32:15 – The Edge of Capacity38:33 – Therapist Identity & Fixing45:42 – Embodied Tracking & Neural Imprinting59:12 – Live Relational Processing1:04:02 – “You Are Allowed to Moralize”Why This Episode MattersFor trauma-informed clinicians, supervisors, and advanced practitioners, this dialogue illuminates how easily therapeutic intention can slide into subtle moralization—and how relational attunement, pacing, and embodied awareness restore coherence within the field.If your work involves navigating shame, rupture, identity threat, or high-performing clients who resist vulnerability, this conversation offers a nuanced lens into how growth actually unfolds—at the edge.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Lincoln StollerExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

Both Anna and Zack share what caused them to walk away from long-held identities, how they each discovered they were “optimizing the wrong thing,” and the small, compassionate actions that helped them get unstuck.This episode is a balm if you're currently:Questioning your career pathStaring at an uncertain futureTrying to force yourself down a path that no longer fitsFeeling behind, frozen, or overwhelmedOr sensing a pivot is coming but terrified to beginZack also shares powerful stories from his coaching clients — including one who went from panic and paralysis to choosing a whole new creative direction — and Anna talks about using her Melt-Through Method journaling practice to move through the fear of her own recent pivot.In this episode, we explore:What it feels like when life kicks you into a pivot before you're readyWhy “waiting for things to go back to normal” keeps you stuckHow to know when your brand (or identity) no longer fitsThe difference between overhauling your life vs. finding the next right experimentWhat happens to your nervous system during change — and how to support itWhy connection beats problem-solving when you're spinningThe power of micro-actions when motivation is goneHow to create safety during a pivot instead of forcing yourself to “push through”Practical stories of people choosing a new direction — even in a collapsing industryConnect with Zack ArnoldPodcast: The Zack Arnold PodcastSubstack newsletter: (search “Zack Arnold” on Substack)Coaching, courses, and The Arnold Academy: https://thearnoldacademy.comConnect with AnnaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/anna_holtzman/Website: https://www.annaholtzman.com/Free workshop — Let Yourself Be Seen: https://www.annaholtzman.com/beseen

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Richard Carson, author of The Book of Change. If you feel like you barely finish one change before the next one hits, this conversation is for you. Richard shares his deeply researched and battle-tested framework called People Sustained Organizational Change Management, or PSOCM. Unlike many change management books, this is not about certifications or slogans. It is about building a repeatable system to diagnose problems, distinguish adaptive from transformational change, and gain executive traction when support is not automatic. You will hear why so many change efforts fail before they even begin, how to craft a clear problem statement, and what leaders often misunderstand about the type of change they are facing. Richard also explains why he chose the phrase "People Sustained" and how thinking structurally about change can even help at home. If you're looking for practical, grounded insights on leading through continuous change, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "My advice to you is to anticipate change and manage change before it manages you." "Different change models have been introduced in the literature, but there has not been one coherent model for managing organizational change." "PSOCM is driven by defined actions with statistical metrics that produce measurable results." "You get a free book and the next thing you know you're getting the pitch to hire them at an exorbitant amount of money per hour." "Organizations consist of people, and it is the people who are primarily the problem." "Change management is proactive. Emergency management is reactive." "It is not productive to put the organization on the couch and ask, 'Well, what do you think?'" "You can change a process, but you cannot change a person's underlying psychology." "You now own it, or it now owns you."

It's a great discussion that I think you'll find quite practical. Episode 344 with Peter Bregman and Howie Jacobson. Their book is about change, but not at the organizational level. They think you can change other people, which sounds presumptuous at the least. But they back that up in the interview so check out episode 344 for more. Episode 53 with John Kotter.

Episode #1096 This is a theme we come back to a lot because it matters. When a marriage is struggling or falling apart, most men don't know what their role is anymore. They feel stuck between fighting for it, protecting their kids, and just trying to survive the day. In this episode, we break down what leadership actually looks like in the middle of a broken marriage. There's a real chance your marriage may not work out. That's just the reality. But how you show up during this season will shape your kids for the rest of their lives. They are watching how you handle pressure, rejection, conflict, and pain. You can either let this season make you smaller, or you can use it as the moment you decided to grow up and lead. We also talk about why so many men lose their wife's respect. It's not usually one big mistake. It's the slow drift. It's saying you want one kind of relationship but living in a way that doesn't support it. It's being one version of yourself at home and a different version out in the world. Respect is built when a man can lead himself first. This episode is direct. It's practical. And it's a reminder that even if your marriage feels broken, you are not powerless. You still get to lead. If you're serious about turning things around, get the free training that walks you through how to shift the scales in your marriage. It's straightforward and actionable.

The Epstein Files Fallout: Navigating Client Trauma, Justice Fatigue, and Clinical Responsibility In this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy explore the emotional and clinical fallout following the release of the Epstein files. Rather than reacting to breaking news, they focus on what happens after the headlines fade—when trauma resurfaces, justice feels out of reach, and both clients and therapists are left carrying the weight. This conversation examines how trauma responses show up in the therapy room, how therapists can avoid minimization or burnout, and what clinical responsibility looks like when systems fail and outrage turns into numbness.

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileWhat if you left college with an engineering degree and an MBA, only to realize your best opportunity was back home in the family auto shop?In this episode, Hunt Demarest sits down with Brad Templin of Scott's U-Save, a fourth-generation automotive professional and second-generation owner running multiple locations across the Midwest. Brad shares the real story of what it's like to return to a family business after pursuing a corporate career, work alongside your mom, and navigate the challenges of succession planning in an era when private equity is knocking on every door.Drawing on his own journey from aerospace engineering to MBA to tire tech, Brad explains why he spent his first six months working in the bays, how he and his mom built mutual respect through honest communication, and what it takes to grow a business when you're competing against both private equity buyers and the temptation of a comfortable corporate salary.This episode tackles the hard conversations every family business faces: working with parents, handling disagreements when personal relationships are on the line, deciding between private equity offers and building something on your own, and why succession planning doesn't have to mean selling to the next generation or selling out completely.

Kamini Wood explores a specific, quiet form of exhaustion that many high achievers experience—not a dramatic collapse or traditional burnout, but a calm sense of being "just done". This feeling often arises after a crisis has passed or a major goal has been reached, leaving individuals feeling uninspired and muted despite being in a more stable environment. Kamini explains that this is not a failure of character or a loss of ambition, but rather a sign that the nervous system is no longer willing to run on the old fuel sources of fear, urgency, and self-abandonment. Listeners are encouraged to view this transition as a necessary gap between surviving and thriving, moving away from high-pressure reinvention and toward a values-based motivation that requires curiosity, pacing, and self-honesty.

Okay… let's talk about the moment your standards actually cost you something.Not when they're cute quotes. Not when they live in your journal. But when enforcing them means walking away, disappointing someone, or choosing long-term alignment over short-term comfort.Because let's be honest — your standards aren't too high. You're a high-achieving woman. Excellence is your baseline. That's not the issue.The issue is when kindness lowers the bar. When empathy overrides discernment. When we start valuing potential over patterns.We're breaking down what it really looks like to build self-respect through behavior. I'm sharing a personal story and walking you through how self-trust is built in the exact moments that feel uncomfortable.This is about becoming unavailable for self-abandonment — even when it costs you something.Because standards aren't proven in what you say you want.

https://teachhoops.com/ Navigating parent decisions requires a shift from being reactive to being proactively transparent. Most parental conflict arises from a "vacuum of information"—when parents don't understand the why behind playing time or tactical choices, they fill that void with their own assumptions. To prevent this, establish a clear "Communication Protocol" before the first whistle of the season. This should include the "24-Hour Rule" (no discussions for 24 hours after a game) and a clear boundary that playing time will not be discussed during parent meetings. By setting these expectations in writing during the pre-season, you create a professional buffer that allows you to focus on coaching while ensuring parents feel heard through the proper, scheduled channels. A second pillar of managing parent dynamics is the "Player-First" feedback loop. When a parent approaches you with a concern about their child's role, your first question should always be: "Has [Player Name] talked to me about this yet?" Empowering the athlete to advocate for themselves is a vital part of their development and often de-escalates parental intensity. In your mid-season January check-ins, provide players with clear, objective "Performance Audits"—specific metrics like defensive deflections, rebounding percentages, or turnover ratios. When a parent sees that their child's role is based on documented, measurable data rather than a coach's "opinion," the conversation shifts from an emotional debate to a constructive plan for the player's improvement. Finally, remember that parents are the "Culture Carriers" in the stands. If the parents are unified and supportive, the team's chemistry often follows suit; if they are fractured and critical, the locker room will eventually reflect that toxicity. Use parent meetings or newsletters to educate them on the "Bigger Picture"—show them how the "extra pass" or "bench energy" contributes to the program's success. By treating parents as stakeholders in the mission rather than obstacles to it, you can turn a potential source of stress into a powerful support system. When parents understand that you are invested in their child's growth as a person as much as a player, they are far more likely to trust your decisions during the high-pressure moments of the season.
