Randy Lyman is a physicist, entrepreneur, and expert in emotional intelligence and service-based leadership. He built the American Dream from humble beginnings, eventually founding multiple 8-figure businesses, including an Inc. 500 company. He discovered that lasting success requires embracing the emotional aspect of being human. Randy's entrepreneurial journey spans four decades, earning multiple patents and growing his businesses 30x after integrating spiritual principles. He now shares these principles through his book, The Third Element, which offers useful tools and techniques for emotional healing and personal growth. The pivotal moment for Randy came after achieving material success but realizing he was not able to enjoy that success due to being disconnected from his own emotions. This led him to focus on emotional awareness, which changed his approach to leadership and spurred business growth far beyond where planning and hard work alone could have taken him. For Randy, the keys to high performance are authenticity, personal connection, and leading from a combination of strength & vulnerability. The Third Element (#1 New Release in Personal Growth) reveals how unhealed emotional patterns shape our reality and how we can transform them to achieve abundance. Today, Randy shares his principles to help individuals and organizations achieve clarity, connection, and authentic transformation by harnessing emotional intelligence and turning inner healing into outward success. Beyond his professional life, Randy is a craftsman who builds custom motorcycle engines and restores classic cars. His mission is to inspire others to heal, lead, and unlock their full potential by embracing "The Third Element" and their emotional truth.

Śāstra Maṇḍala is an organization we started specifically to make a pipeline for those who want the Gosvāmī literatures, and we've been advertising for this over the last year or so. We have over 1,000 members. This helps us to predict how many volumes we're going to need to print, because when you print a set with five books, it's a big investment. So, we want to be very clear about that. In fact, just in earnest, now, today we're starting to recruit those who want to join Śāstra Maṇḍala. If you're in Śāstra Maṇḍala—before we have our annual general meeting coming up in a few weeks—that's when we're going to decide how many to print. That's why he (Mayank Prabhu) is saying it's really important to get in now. Sign up, get in, and then you're in that pipeline. So, those who want it should be in the Śāstra Maṇḍala. Those who want it, and they're not in it, may or may not get one. And that goes for all the other books that are coming out. We have Jaiva-dharma ready to come out; there's several other books. We have a long list, and this is an ongoing project from the BBT to bring these out in a pristine condition.

In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper talks with Megan Diede about the power of connection, purposeful teaching, and the small instructional shifts that can create meaningful change in classrooms. Megan shares how her seven pathways to learning help educators design lessons that are more engaging, accessible, and effective for students while also reducing overwhelm for teachers. Throughout the conversation, Megan explains how educators can move beyond compliance driven instruction and instead create learning experiences that build purpose, increase student engagement, and bring joy back into teaching. She talks about the importance of clarity, creativity, and flexibility in lesson design, as well as the value of making instruction more responsive to how students learn best. Joshua and Megan also discuss how teachers and leaders can support one another through burnout, workload, and the pressure to constantly do more. This episode is full of practical ideas for teachers, instructional coaches, and school leaders who want to create classrooms where both students and educators can thrive. Megan also shares insights from her book, Elevated Educator, along with resources that help schools implement small but powerful changes that improve instruction and strengthen classroom culture.

Drawing on their extensive experience in education, Charle Peck and Joshua Stamper challenge outdated disciplinary practices and offer a clear, trauma-informed framework that empowers educators to interpret student behavior as a form of communication. Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate. Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy. This book is not just a reference—it's a call to lead with vision and transform how we approach discipline, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.

What if the biggest instructional breakthrough came from starting in the right place? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Gretchen Bridgers to talk about classroom instruction, teacher mentorship, and the mindset shifts that help educators build more sustainable and effective learning experiences. Gretchen shares her journey from classroom teacher to instructional coach, author, and podcaster, and reflects on how connection, curiosity, and the right support changed the trajectory of her career. A major theme in this conversation is the power of intentional lesson design. Gretchen explains why so many teachers get stuck trying to fix surface-level problems when the real issue is often rooted in planning and structure. She introduces her “bricks” framework and walks through how lesson design, classroom management, student engagement, and student ownership work together to create a classroom where learning can actually flourish. Rather than overwhelm teachers with more to do, Gretchen emphasizes small, thoughtful improvements that lead to real growth over time. The conversation also explores burnout, motivation, and the difference between new teachers and veteran teachers when it comes to instructional change. Gretchen shares practical strategies for naming what you're feeling, understanding why it's happening, and identifying what you can control in the moment. She also talks about the importance of finding people who can help you grow, whether that's through a mentor, a colleague, a professional network, or a simple conversation with someone who sees your potential. About Gretchen Bridgers Gretchen Bridgers is a two-time National Board Certified educator, instructional coach, and education consultant with over two decades of experience empowering teachers and school leaders nationwide. She is the author of multiple books for educators, the host of the Empowering Educators podcast, and a sought-after keynote speaker and conference presenter.

Did Aaron Judge just enter all-time territory? And are collectors too early… or already too late on Wembanyama?Aaron Judge's 2013 Bowman Chrome Superfractor resurfaced after 13 years and sold for nearly $840,000. That sparks a bigger question: where does Judge actually rank among Yankee legends and baseball's all-time greats?Then the guys dive into Victor Wembanyama's latest hobby headline as a game-used net from his historic 41-point, 24-rebound performance is turned into a 1/1 autograph card. Is this the future of memorabilia cards, or are manufacturers getting carried away?Plus, Grand Slam Cards is loaded with new releases this week, including Bowman Best Basketball, Topps Finest Football, FIFA Prizm Soccer, NBA Hoops Basketball, Leaf Baseball Nation, and more.And somehow the episode starts with a debate about Deadpool, Miles Morales, Harley Quinn, Mickey Mouse, and whether sports collectors forget stars faster than non-sports collectors.Because of course it does.This Episode:

A grieving young woman sends a message through her late sister's dating app, setting off an unexpected journey through loss, love and new beginnings.
The first Star Wars film in seven years just hit cinemas—and it works as a complete standalone. Pedro Pascal is the gruff dad bounty hunter, but the animatronic creature steals every scene. It's packed with action, hilarious moments, and surprisingly emotional beats. Netflix just dropped a three-part documentary about one of pop culture's biggest icons. It covers her early life in Australia, her rise to fame, past relationships, cancer diagnoses (including one she kept secret), and failed IVF journeys. It's glossy, emotional, and genuinely riveting—even if you're not already a superfan, you'll be by the end. Plus, the Duffer Brothers have executive produced an eight-episode gem about retirees in a desert retirement community discovering a sinister entity attacking residents. The cast is absolutely stacked, and it's genuinely creepy, chaotic, and emotional. Completely binge-worthy.

Are you tired of leading from empty? What if burnout isn't a willpower problem? What if it's an alignment problem? In this episode, Dr. Catherine Toon sits down with author and identity coach Raquel Orona to unpack why so many Christians, especially leaders, stay stuck in performance, striving, and exhaustion even when they know the truth of who they are in Christ. Raquel's new book Seated Not Striving is a deep, practical invitation back to the only place where lasting transformation happens: your co-seated identity in Christ. What you'll learn: - Why identity misalignment is the hidden root of ministry burnout - How agreement, what you believe and say about yourself, shapes everything - The difference between inner healing and inner alignment - Why the finished work of Jesus means rest is your starting point, not your reward - How to realign quickly when you feel yourself drifting into striving or performance Need a fresh encounter with God?

So your brain, being your brain, lands on "well, that must mean I suck."In this episode, I unpack why comparison doesn't have to mean what you think it means and why "they're better than me" doesn't have to end with "so I'm terrible."In this episode you'll hear my personal example plus the client conversation that sparked the whole episode.What you'll take away:Why someone being better at something than you doesn't mean you're not goodHow to use comparison as data instead of a problemThe question to ask yourself before you go looking for what they do betterWhy zero-sum thinking tanks your growthIf comparison tends to put you in a spiral, this one's for you.If you enjoyed today's conversation, please follow, rate, and review Unblocked.

In Who Are You (S1 E16 of Buffy), Faith makes a desperate bid to survive, devastating Buffy, in the second of two episodes that eventually lead to her visiting Los Angeles–and Angel. Along with the recap of Who Are You, this podcast episode focuses on: (1) is Faith both protagonist and antagonist? (2) weaving the season arc (about Adam) seamlessly into the Faith/Buffy main plot; (3) external obstacles that show Faith’s internal conflict; and (4) how the body switching metaphor conveys the theme, moves the story, and prompts character growth.

What does it look like to lead with hope when life, leadership, and responsibility feel overwhelming? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Dr. Brandi Kelly for a powerful conversation about resilience, self-awareness, purpose, and the daily choices that help leaders thrive. Brandi opens up about her personal journey through loss, stress, and major life transitions, and shares how those experiences shaped the way she now leads, coaches, writes, and supports others. A central theme in this conversation is the idea that everything starts in the mind. Brandi explains why self-awareness is so critical for educators and leaders, how reflection can help us identify our fears, blind spots, and limiting beliefs, and why pausing long enough to be intentional can make all the difference. She also unpacks the pillars of hope from her book Lead with Hope, including habits, optimistic outlook, purpose, passion, and perseverance. Brandi and Joshua also discuss how to move from pain to purpose, the importance of treating people well in schools, and why connection, presence, and kindness matter just as much as strategy. She shares practical habits that helped her reclaim margin in her life, including calendar wedges, daily reflection, and protecting time for what matters most. Later in the episode, Brandi also talks about her new children's book, Spreading Sunshine with Kindness, and her new community for female leaders, Spark Hope Community. About Dr. Brandi Kelly Dr. Brandi Kelly is a two time principal of the year and the CEO of Spark HOPE Edu, dedicated to empowering leaders to rise with clarity, courage, and purpose. With over 20 years of experience leading schools and organizations, she is renowned for her ability to blend storytelling, strategy, and hope, specifically helping people lead with unwavering confidence and resilience in their careers. Brandi is the creator of the System of H.O.P.E.—Habits, Optimistic Outlook, Purpose, and Excellence—a framework designed to support leaders in strengthening their mindset and leading with greater alignment.

For episode 290, I'm joined once again by my co-host Myles Hughes, with producer Steve Prusakowski working behind the scenes on Emmys and TV Topics. This time around, we've got Oscar news in Conan O'Brien returning to host the Academy Awards, as well as more on the rule changes AMPAS has instituted. Some of your questions factor into those rules as well, alongside one that leads us back to talk about Ari Aster's Eddington (my review is here, while my interview with Aster is here), with Myles having just caught up with the film. I also talk about two new release movies, which are Driver's Ed (reviewed here and interview with director Bobby Farrelly here) and Obsession (reviewed here). We tackle plenty on this episode, so strap in...As always my friends and faithful listeners/readers, I do hope you all enjoy the latest episode of the Awards Radar Podcast, our 290th one to date (here's to many more). Of course, feel free to revisit the previous installments by clicking the Podcast tab (here) on the top of the page. Plus, listen to us on Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, and other platforms. More to come each and every single week, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening!
We kick off with the new hockey romance that has everyone on social media obsessed, following a group of elite athletes and the girls who keep them on their toes. It's the perfect mix of 'opposites-attract' (one of Laura’s favourite troupes) and steamy college drama that we reckon will become a new fave.Next, we explore the cutthroat rivalries of the 80s media landscape in a brand new series of Rivals. Think big hair, bigger egos, and even bigger scandals.

What if the prodigal son story isn't about a lost boy, but about a Father who never stopped running toward him? In this episode we explore Luke 15 through the lens of grace, compassion, and unconditional love. Catherine unpacks the heart of God as revealed in the parable of the prodigal son, the lost sheep, and the lost coin. You'll discover how God doesn't wait for you to clean up before He embraces you. He runs toward you in your mess, clothes you in His identity, and throws a party just because you're home. In this episode: - Why God is the one who seeks, not the one who waits - The difference between the younger son's rebellion and the older son's bitterness - How your behavior doesn't define your identity as a son or daughter of God - What it means to be clothed in the Father's robe, ring, and shoes - Why grace always celebrates, even when religion condemns If you've ever felt too far gone, too broken, or too bitter to come home, this message is for you. God's love is bigger than your mess. Need a fresh encounter with God?

What if student success had less to do with talent and more to do with belief, access, and the way we design learning experiences? In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with James O'Neal, Jr., founder of Mastery For All, to explore what it really takes to create classrooms where all students can thrive. James shares his journey from middle and high school math teacher to department chair, PLC lead, speaker, and educational consultant, and explains how his work is helping shift both instructional practice and school culture. A major theme in this conversation is the power of mindset. James breaks down how teacher beliefs shape classroom experiences, why students need opportunities to win early and often, and what it means to create a learning environment where ownership, voice, and confidence are built into the lesson itself. He also speaks candidly about the cultural lens in his work, including the importance of highlighting the brilliance of black boys and making sure K-12 math instruction is rooted in access, joy, and mastery for all. The conversation goes beyond math instruction and into larger questions of leadership and coaching. James challenges school leaders to look more closely at what they are actually observing in classrooms, how they support teachers without needing to be the content expert, and why honest reflection and emotional maturity matter so much when responding to feedback. He also shares insights from his new book, The Engaged Classroom, and explains how motivation, belonging, competence, autonomy, and praise all play a role in student engagement. About James O'Neal Jr. James O'Neal, Jr., a passionate educator and speaker with a transformative journey spanning fifteen impactful years in the classroom, including six as a department chair, has seamlessly transitioned his dedication into a thriving full-time endeavor: Mastery For All, LLC. Mastery For All passionately promotes K-12 math education mastery through professional development, consulting, and coaching, accentuating the brilliance of black boys as a means to empower all. As a speaker, James seeks to empower all educational stakeholders in the roles they play in education. His academic voyage culminated with an M.Ed. from UNC-Charlotte in 2020, and in 2021, he stood as a finalist for the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST), a testament to his resolute focus. While in the classroom, James was ranked in the top 25% of the state of North Carolina's teachers who showed effective growth in student performance. James knows what it takes to support the education and advancement of all students. His evolution from a classroom teacher to an influential advocate for mastery mirrors his unwavering dedication to shaping a future where the belief of "who can" encompasses all!

Drawing on their extensive experience in education, Charle Peck and Joshua Stamper challenge outdated disciplinary practices and offer a clear, trauma-informed framework that empowers educators to interpret student behavior as a form of communication. Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate. Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy. This book is not just a reference—it's a call to lead with vision and transform how we approach discipline, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.

On last week’s new release episode I highlighted an entire section to the new album by The Sleeveens. This week I do the same thing to my good friends High On Stress, but instead of adding my own description of how great they are I’m going to leave it to the legendary Twin/Tone Records founder Peter Jesperson – “With album #6 – Still Here – Minneapolis band High On Stress deliver their finest work yet. Full of tightly written, smart songs that stick in your head. It rocks like mad, sounds great, and when it's over, I just want to play it again.” The High On Stress segment is just the tip of the iceberg for this month’s Rum Bar Records segment, as there’s another entire set of fantastic new rock and roll from that fabulous label. There’s also some tracks from the latest Dam-nations compilation, and a few tunes from our friends at Stardumb Records and Spaghetty Town Records. There’s the latest covers project from Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin. Plus all kinds of punk, power pop, and good ol’ fashioned garage rock!
