Before the Lord answers Job from the whirlwind, one final voice steps up: Elihu, a confident young pundit making one last human attempt to explain Job's suffering. Examining Job 32–37, we unpack the tension of Elihu's speeches—where real truth meets misplaced counsel—and discover how the shortcomings of human wisdom prepare our hearts to finally hear from the living God

Today's guest is Ragan Collins, an ex collegiate volleyball player turned IFBB Bikini Pro who was born and raised in North Carolina but currently lives in California with her husband as not just a military spouse but also , online coach, and dog mom of two who has had an incredible path in this sport. She stepped onstage for the very first time in April 2024 after a short prep that included a coaching switch and there she swept the whole show winning True Novice, Novice, Open, and the Overall. After taking an offseason, she returned to the stage in 2025, winning her height class at her local show before heading to Junior Nationals where, in only her third time ever competing and first ever national show, she won her IFBB Pro Card. She now runs her online lifestyle coaching business, Fuel For Fitness, where she helps others pursue their own health and fitness goals while continuing to navigate her own journey as an athlete.     Ragan's Athletic Journey Transition Ragan discussed her current lifestyle, including traveling and spending time with family while maintaining her health goals. She shared her pre-stage routine, which involves chatting with other competitors to calm nerves and saying a quick prayer. Ragan explained her transition from competitive swimming to volleyball in high school and college, and how she eventually moved into bodybuilding after retiring from volleyball due to ankle injuries. Bodybuilding Competition Preparation Journey Ragan shared their journey into weightlifting and bodybuilding, starting with a goal to bench press their body weight and eventually transitioning to competitive bodybuilding under a coach's guidance. They described their first preparation for a competition, which began in January 2024 with a short 10-12 week prep leading up to an April show. Ragan explained the significant calorie and diet changes they experienced during the preparation process, including the challenges of adjusting to a much lower calorie intake and dealing with brain fog while working full-time. Bodybuilding Coaching Challenges and Solutions Ragan shared her experience of struggling during bodybuilding prep with her original coach, who provided inadequate support and failed to address her concerns. She ultimately switched coaches after reaching out to a contact in the fitness industry, and with her new coach Sammy, was able to reverse some progress and learn bikini posing in just 6 weeks before winning her show. Ragan identified several red flags in coaching relationships, including coaches not respecting natural competition boundaries, not providing safe spaces for discussion, and not being knowledgeable about what constitutes natural competition rules. Bodybuilding Competition Experience Discussion Ragan discussed her experience competing in bodybuilding, describing how she unexpectedly won her first show despite initial concerns about finishing last. She explained that after her first competition, she took time off to heal her hormones and remove her IUD before starting her next prep in February 2025. Ragan shared that her first reverse dieting phase was challenging due to binging issues and unexpected physical symptoms like hair loss, though she found the process of gaining weight back difficult and awkward, particularly the initial post-show phase before regaining feminine curves. Bodybuilding Preparation Challenges Ragan discussed her challenging experience with bodybuilding preparation, particularly the mental and physical demands of getting leaner for competitions. She shared how she had to drop 6 pounds within two weeks before Junior Nats and described struggling with food cravings during the off-season. Ragan acknowledged learning important lessons about social media's impact on her mental state during preparation, particularly about avoiding food-related content on Instagram, which she plans to avoid in future preparations. Competition Lessons and Health Insights Ragan discussed lessons learned from her competition experience, including the need to avoid food-focused social media and better menu planning. She identified issues with overeating post-show and how this contributed to binge eating challenges. Ragan also shared her experience with hormonal changes related to endometriosis and removing her Mirena IUD, noting how this affected her menstrual cycle after competition. Bodybuilding and Mental Health Challenges Ragan discussed her experience with hormone fluctuations and mental health challenges during her bodybuilding preparation, including losing her period for over a year and struggling with a negative mental headspace. She expressed regret about being selfish during the preparation period while her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, questioning whether bodybuilding was the right sport for her. Ragan concluded that she wants to prioritize family and friends in future preparations, committing to self-evaluate regularly to ensure the sport doesn't interfere with important life moments. Bodybuilding Preparation and Mental Approach Ragan discussed her experience with bodybuilding preparation and competition, sharing how she plans to better balance her training with other life commitments by waking up earlier and making schedule adjustments. She reflected on earning her pro card at her third show and the subsequent imposter syndrome that developed, particularly after hearing comments about her small class size being insufficient for a legitimate pro card. Ragan acknowledged how external opinions and self-doubt affected her mental state during the post-show period, and she expressed determination to improve her mental approach for future preparations by not letting outside opinions impact her confidence. Ragan's Figure Competition Transition Celeste and Ragan discussed Ragan's transition into figure wellness competition, with Ragan revealing she hadn't researched the division before competing but had gained perspective through local posing seminars and observing other competitors at her gym. Ragan explained that after her first season, she began following other competitors on social media and building connections within the bodybuilding community, particularly through her gym in Oklahoma which had a strong bodybuilding presence. Ragan described how bodybuilding provided her with routine and stability during her frequent relocations due to her husband's military service, allowing her to maintain control over one aspect of her life despite the uncertainty of constant moving. Fuel for Fitness Business Interview Celeste interviewed Ragan about her fitness business Fuel for Fitness, which Ragan started in August 2025 after transitioning from social work to fitness coaching. Ragan explained how her background in psychology led her to pursue social work, but she became disillusioned with the field and found her passion for helping people through fitness coaching after completing her personal training certification. Ragan currently teaches group fitness and provides online coaching, with one of her earliest clients inspiring her to start the business, and she noted that her personal experiences with food relationships make her more relatable as a coach. Ragan's Training and Location Insights Celeste and Ragan discussed Ragan's experience living between North Carolina and California, with Ragan expressing love for both locations while noting the high costs in California. Ragan shared that her favorite gym is Stoic in California due to its supportive community and experienced ownership. When asked about alternative sports, Ragan expressed interest in future powerlifting competition or marathon running. Ragan provided advice for new competitors, emphasizing not to compare themselves to others on social media and to ask questions of their coaches, while also cautioning against comparing timelines to others' progress in the sport.

What if the biggest problem in your business isn't marketing, sales, or finance—but the way you think and behave? In this episode, Gino Barbaro explores the concept of business archetypes and how unconscious patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses can influence the way you lead, make decisions, and grow your business. There are 10 different business archetypes, including the Rebel, Warrior, Servant Leader, Gambler, Novice, Inventor, Dictator, Conservator, Entrepreneur, and Master. None of them are inherently good or bad. The key is understanding how each archetype shows up in your behavior—and recognizing when one may be helping you or holding you back. Gino shares personal examples from his restaurant and real estate journey, including how the Conservator and Novice archetypes affected his ability to grow and scale. He also explains how activating the Warrior mindset helped him develop a growth mindset, learn new systems, and move beyond the limitations of his previous experience. Ask yourself: • Which business archetype sounds most like you? • Where has this archetype helped you succeed? • Where has it become a liability? • What behavior do you need to change to take your business to the next level? The goal isn't to become a different person. It's to become more self-aware—so you can recognize the patterns influencing your decisions and consciously choose how you want to respond. Want to discover all 10 business archetypes? Email Gino at Gino@JakeandGino.com to receive the full list and characteristics of each archetype. Watch the full episode to dive deeper into business behavior, leadership, self-awareness, and the mindset required to grow your business. 00:00 – What If the Biggest Problem in Your Business Is You? 00:45 – What Are Business Archetypes? 02:00 – How Unconscious Behaviors Affect Your Business 03:00 – Gino's Personal Experience With Business Archetypes 05:00 – The Rebel Archetype 07:00 – The Warrior Archetype 08:30 – The Servant Leader Archetype 09:30 – The Gambler Archetype 11:00 – The Novice Archetype 13:00 – The Inventor Archetype 14:30 – How Archetypes Impact Business Decisions 15:30 – The Dictator Archetype 17:00 – The Conservator Archetype 18:30 – The Entrepreneur Archetype 20:00 – The Master Archetype 22:00 – How the Archetypes Work Together 23:00 – 4 Questions to Identify Your Business Archetype 25:00 – What Behaviors Are Holding Your Business Back? 26:30 – Your Business Isn't the Problem—Your Patterns Are 27:30 – Final Thoughts & Next Episode

The episode introduces Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength, covering its alternating workouts, simple progression, and focus on squat, press/bench, and deadlift. It also explains why the program works and who it suits best. Chapters 0:03 - Getting Stronger Basics 4:45 - Strength Journeys 10:30  - Starting Strength Overview 15:19 - Novice to Advanced 20:09 - Who Should Use It 25:33 - Verdict On The Program Long Summary In this episode we begin a series on strength training programs and focus on Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. We explain that the discussion will cover who the program is for, how it is structured, and what we think of it overall. We also share our own training backgrounds. We both describe moving between bodybuilding, football-based training, powerlifting-style work, and more concurrent training with lifting and conditioning. We note that strength training has always been part of our routines, even when our goals changed. We then outline the basic Starting Strength approach. The novice version centers on two workouts, A and B, built around squat, press or bench press, and deadlift, with simple progression and very light starting weights. We emphasize that the program is repetitive by design and that the book is very comprehensive. We discuss why we think the program works: frequent practice of the main lifts, gradual overload, and learning the movements with light loads before adding weight. We also explain that the program starts without much accessory work, then later adds movements like power cleans, chin-ups, pull-ups, and back extensions. We close by saying the program is best for beginners, people returning to barbell training, and youth athletes, especially if a parent wants to teach a child basic barbell training safely. We give the program a thumbs up as a solid starting point for basic strength work. Brief Summary In this episode we begin a series on strength training programs and focus on Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. We discuss our own training backgrounds and then outline the program's basic structure, including its two alternating workouts, simple progression, and emphasis on the squat, press or bench press, and deadlift. We explain why we think the program works, including frequent practice of the main lifts, gradual overload, and starting with light weights to learn the movements. We also note that accessory work is limited at first and added later. We conclude that the program is best suited for beginners, people returning to barbell training, and youth athletes, and we give it a positive overall assessment as a starting point for basic strength work.

How to Go From Novice to Group Winner: Owner-Handler Success Secrets with Karine Beaulieu [caption id="attachment_16651" align="alignleft" width="300"] Karine Beaulieu presenting one of her Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers.[/caption] Host Laura Reeves sits down with Karine Beaulieu, a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier owner-handler and preservation breeder from Sudbury, Canada. Karine discusses her rapid five-year rise in the sport, transitioning from a complete novice who had never picked up grooming scissors to breeding and handling group-winning terriers. Karine shares how her autism manifests as a "hyperfixation" and passion for dogs. Rather than viewing it as a barrier, she has leveraged her deep focus as a superpower to study breed standards, analyze databases and master the intricate art of grooming. She provides a masterclass on how to navigate the steep learning curve of conformation shows, manage ring nerves and make data-driven decisions using judge tracking. How Karine Progressed from Newbie to Group-Winning Handler Karine's rapid success was not a matter of luck. It was built on a series of deliberate, systematic strategies that any beginner can apply: Harnessing Deep-Dive Research & Standard Study Memorizing the Breed Standard:The very first thing Karine did was print out the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breed standard, highlighting it and studying it inside and out.Pedigree and Database Deep-Dives: She spends hours in breed databases and analyzing historical books to understand pedigrees and breed evolution.Objective Self-Criticism: Rather than hiding her dogs' flaws, Karine is highly critical of her own dogs, knowing their specific faults so she can work to improve them in the next generation. Mastering the Art of "Carving" a Coated Breed Overcoming the Scissors Curve: In 2020, Karine had never held grooming scissors. She printed the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier Club of America grooming guidelines, hung them on her wall and simply started practicing, knowing her early efforts would look "rough."Befriending Professional Groomers: She established friendships with professional handlers and trusted mentors who could give her feedback and quick evaluations of her work.The "Carving" Philosophy: Karine learned that grooming a terrier is like "carving a dog out of the hair." She grooms strategically to highlight her dog's attributes while minimizing less desirable traits.Viewing Hair as a Renewable Resource: To overcome the fear of making mistakes, Karine reminds herself that "hair is a renewable resource" and will always grow back if she makes an error. Proactive Mentorship & Continuous Learning Building Long-Term Breeder Connections: At age 13, Karine emailed local breeders to volunteer. Only one responded, and Karine spent the summer helping her. Years later, that same breeder provided her foundation bitch, "Ruby" and continues to serve as an invaluable mentor.Conformation Classes: Karine insists that taking local conformation classes is essential for success because beginners need experienced handlers to guide them and point out subtle presentation adjustments.Watching the Professionals: She spends hours sitting ringside, watching how professional handlers present their dogs on the ramp, during examinations and on the down-and-back. She also advocates arriving early to watch the judge's patterns before entering the ring. Meticulous, Data-Driven Judge Tracking The Excel Judge Spreadsheet: On the advice of her mentor, Karine maintains an Excel spreadsheet tracking every judge she shows under.What She Tracks: She logs the show name, date, judge, what she liked/disliked about the judge's style, whether they awarded her a ribbon, and most importantly, the specific style of dog they preferred.Studying Past History: Before entering a show under a new judge, Karine researches their past judging history to see what dog styles they tend to favor, allowing her to make strategic, calculated entry decisions. Mental Conditioning & Ring Execution Controlling the Leash Energy: Karine realized early on that her nervous energy traveled "down the leash," causing her dog to act up. She learned to master her nerves so her dog remains calm and happy.Videotaping Runs: She recommends videotaping your ring performances year-round to review them with a trainer, allowing you to catch minor handling and presentation mistakes.Surviving the "Mean Girls" Club: Karine avoids online drama. She maintains a strong mental filter—keeping what resonates and discarding what doesn't and walks out of the ring proud, knowing that the dog is ultimately there to have a fun day and get treats. Episode Takeaways & Highlights Autism as a Gift: Karine shares how her neurodivergence serves as a powerful motivator and tool for deep-dive breed research.Ethical Breeding and PLN Testing: A passionate advocate for ethical breeding, Karine emphasizes the importance of health testing for Protein Losing Nephropathy (PLN) in Wheaten Terriers, a gene that has only been testable since 2012.

Jim Tew welcomes his grandson, Will Laditka, back to Honey Bee Obscura for a candid conversation about the realities of learning beekeeping as a young beginner. Will reflects on losing his first colonies, the emotional impact of what initially appeared to be American Foulbrood, and how those difficult experiences ultimately strengthened his understanding of honey bee management. Jim and Will discuss the importance of learning through setbacks, the challenge of managing Varroa, and why resilience is one of the most important qualities for new beekeepers. The discussion also explores how beekeeping intersects with education and communication. Will shares how he recently used beekeeping as the subject of a college speech presentation, explaining basic hive equipment, bee communication, pheromones, and colony behavior to classmates unfamiliar with bees. The conversation highlights how honey bees can engage audiences far outside traditional beekeeping circles. Jim and Will also compare beginner beekeeping experiences across generations. Jim reflects on the simplicity and affordability of starting beekeeping decades ago, while Will explains how modern equipment costs and management expectations can make entering the hobby more difficult for younger beekeepers today. Together, they discuss how beekeeping has evolved while still maintaining the same lessons of patience, observation, and continual learning. This episode offers thoughtful perspective for beginning beekeepers, especially younger listeners navigating the steep learning curve of modern honey bee management. ______________________ Thanks to Betterbee for sponsoring today's episode.

What if the reason you're struggling in your riding… has nothing to do with your riding? In this powerful and honest episode, we sit down with Kerry, who went from nearly quitting horses altogether to stepping up levels, competing again, and completely transforming how she thinks, rides, and lives. This is not a story about “just pushing through fear.” This is about doing the deep, uncomfortable work that actually creates lasting confidence. We dive into: Losing confidence and wanting to give up The hidden fears riders don't talk about Why perfectionism keeps you stuck How past experiences (even ones that didn't happen to you) shape your riding The real process of shifting from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're holding yourself back… this episode will hit home. What You'll Learn Why your riding struggles are often a reflection of what's happening internally How fear is often about consequences, not the fall itself The difference between a perfectionist mindset vs a growth mindset How to stop beating yourself up after mistakes and actually move forward Why “just be positive” doesn't work, and what does instead How to become a present rider and learner, not a self-critic Resources Mentioned: Coaching & support: https://www.mindeq.eu/coaching Follow Jocelin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jocelinlillienau Connect with Kerry on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerry_don4801/
