Matt and Jen discuss common limitations that hinder people from achieving meaningful life goals, focusing on time and money. They emphasize that these obstacles become logistics when you identify a clear, personal goal. Matt shares a story about a gym member who initially sought a $10 monthly membership but, after discussing his true goal of feeling proud of his body, agreed to pay more for coaching. They argue that having a clear, emotional goal transforms limitations into manageable challenges.

What happens when discipline meets adversity? In a world where comfort wins too easily, true progress begins with facing hard challenges head-on. Joe De Sena talks with Zeus Fitness founder and adaptive coach Jake Weiner about building grit through adaptive training, creating community for athletes with disabilities, and turning mindset shifts into lasting confidence.   Tools, Frameworks, or Strategies Learned: Mindset Reframing: Jake explains how shifting "I can't" to "I'll try" transforms both athletes and parents, proving that confidence is built one small win at a time. Adaptive Coaching Approach: Training without specialized equipment—just smarter coaching, personalized cues, and consistent feedback. Environment and Community Design: Creating a supportive gym culture where athletes mirror each other's discipline, replacing isolation with shared strength. Routine as Ritual: Building daily movement habits that anchor mindset and consistency—discipline treated like brushing your teeth. Perspective Shift Practice: Using the mantra "It could be worse" to ground gratitude and push through discomfort.   Closing Insight: "Discipline turns obstacles into opportunity—because every hard thing you face trains both body and mind."   Listen & Subscribe: Apple: The Hard Way Podcast Spotify: The Hard Way Podcast   Short, Impactful Content: Instagram: @thehardwaypodcast From host directly: @realjoedesena   Join the Spartan Community: Find Your Next Spartan Race: spartan.com/en/race/find-race For everything Spartan: spartan.com   Timestamps: [00:10] The Mission Behind Zeus Fitness Jake explains how Zeus Fitness became a training ground for adaptive athletes.

Did Applied Nutrition report the type of annual performance that deserves a shot at the championship belt? Applied Nutrition Plc (LSE: APN) is a leading sports nutrition brand sold in over 80 countries worldwide. There are several product ranges, including the namesake Applied Nutrition, All Black Everything (ABE), Body Fuel, and Endurance. Additionally, because of a trademark issue, the U.S. division sells its products under the AN Performance name. In fiscal year 2025, Applied Nutrition reported generating revenue of about $141 million, which increased 24.2% YoY. Given that its annual results were stellar, and Applied Nutrition has relatively low awareness in the U.S. market…my latest first principles content piece will examine a collection of recent strategic decisions that will help you better understand the business growth story. Applied Nutrition has historically reinvested profits back into the manufacturing capabilities and that existing pattern of capital allocation was reinforced in the latest financial statements. And that vertical integration (manufacturing around 80% of all products in house) allows Applied Nutrition to quickly evolve its product strategy to access emerging trends and fill opportunity gaps across the marketplace (positively impacting growth of distribution points and shelf space with existing and new customers). Also, Applied Nutrition's product strategy (aided by vertical integration) can be leveraged for geographical expansion. Currently, about 45% of Applied Nutrition total revenue is being captured from commercial activities in its home market of the UK. But arguably the most important geographical expansion progress has been happening within the United States. Though, despite describing the geographic activity as “remaining in its infancy,” Applied Nutrition originally entered the U.S. market three years ago and became (from what I understand) the first sports nutrition brand headquartered outside of North America to land on all Walmart shelves nationwide. Moreover, Applied Nutrition has launched products catering towards U.S. consumers like licensed flavor collaborations with the global fruit brand Chiquita and nostalgic orange drink Tang. While I've tried a few of these products (and generally rate them high in terms of flavor matching, flavor likeability, and formulation approach), those great (glocalized) Applied Nutrition products are only a foundational element to unlocking any chance of success within the U.S. market. And I'm not recommending that Applied Nutrition completely transform its brand strategy globally, but if it hopes to have a meaningful chance at outsized commercial success in the fastest moving, quickest evolving, and most competitive marketplace for the sports/active nutrition niche of the supplement industry…it will need to better define its brand distinctiveness, increase its global marketing investments, and overall turn up the strategic aggressiveness. However, there remains a massive obstacle for Applied Nutrition, as it cannot sell under Applied Nutrition in the U.S. market because Irwin Naturals (owned by FitLife Brands) holds the trademark rights.

Hollywood needs to stop resisting what the world actually looks like, says actor, director and activist America Ferrera. Tracing the contours of her career, she calls for more authentic representation of different cultures in media -- and a shift in how we tell our stories. "Presence creates possibility," she says. "Who we see thriving in the world teaches us how to see ourselves, how to think about our own value, how to dream about our futures."Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

Under pressure, peace can feel impossible. But burnout recovery and identity alignment aren't built through reflection alone — they're forged in real decisions. Discover how every challenge becomes a lab for growth when peace leads instead of performance.Pressure reveals what reflection can't. In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly invites high-capacity humans into the Laboratory of Life — where identity isn't just understood, it's lived.Drawing from psychology, faith, and philosophy, Julie explores how the nervous system rewires faster through lived experience than through insight alone. Real transformation isn't about perfection — it's about presence. Every decision, tension, or conversation becomes an experiment in alignment.You'll learn how to recognize your “old map” of pressure and performance, and begin practicing from your “recalibrated map” — a rhythm of Slow → Clarify → Commit that replaces urgency with grounded peace.Through this lens, Julie highlights Ryan Holiday's insight from The Obstacle Is the Way: “The impediment to action advances action.” Life itself becomes the curriculum — every obstacle a teacher, every tension an invitation.You'll also hear what most achievers overlook:Old reactions resurfacing isn't regression — it's feedback.Courage is the nervous system's proof that peace is real.Grace isn't a pause from growth — it's the environment that sustains it.This episode anchors a truth few teach: You don't have to get it right to be aligned. You just have to return sooner. Because growth doesn't require perfection — only awareness.Unlike surface-level mindset work, The Recalibration works at the root — restoring identity so that behavior flows naturally from who you truly are. It's not another productivity tactic, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective.Today's Micro Recalibration — The Two-Column Drill: Grab a piece of paper and draw two columns labeled Old Map and Recalibrated Map. Write how your old self would respond to a real challenge, and how your recalibrated self would. Then circle one word from the second column to embody today. Because peace isn't proven in theory — it's practiced in motion.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

This isn't coaching. This is identity recalibration — and it changes everything.

Sometimes what looks like an obstacle is actually an invitation to grow. In this episode, Dr. Stephen shares a moment from the park with his son that reminds us all: the harder path isn't meant to stop us—it's meant to strengthen us. And with just a little bit of support along the way, we can take on terrain others avoided. #Obstacles #Opportunities  #TakeCareAndLiveNew Book ~The Momentum List:  Rediscover Your Ability to Delight in Time, Rather than Be Mastered by It >>>Amazon - https://a.co/d/ch0Imna>>>Barnes & Noble - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-momentum-list-stephen-peters/1146966970?ean=9798991919517 Available whenever books are sold! Visit takecareandlive.com, and subscribe to unlock more game-changing insight for delighting in your time and growing your impact.Connect with Dr. Stephen V.

Ukraine Peace Talks: Territory is the Holdup, NATO and EU Issues Solvable Anatol Lieven, Quincy Institute, with John Batchelor Lieven discussed potential negotiations between Presidents Trump and Putin to end the Ukraine conflict. The core obstacle is territory, while other major issues are generally manageable. Russia acknowledges Ukraine's right to join the European Union, removing that as a peace process hurdle, though EU internal challenges remain. NATO membership is unlikely, according to Trump, and incorporating that certainty into an actual agreement or treaty is key. Force protection and limitations could likely be resolved, especially if the negotiations remain bilateral between the U.S. and Russia, circumventing potentially difficult European involvement.

Libbie Joyce has been in the sport of obstacle course racing for a long time and has been seen as a great hope for the future of the sport (no pressure)! We had the chance to briefly meet her at World's Toughest Mudder where she helped rabbit the event helping The OCR Report. We explained that we have been wanting to have her on the show for a while and were looking for a time in the future to set it up. That time ended up being this weekend! Hear us discuss her background in the sport, her show on the UKOCR podcast feed, the changes recently made with no longer allowing young athletes to compete in the competitive waves due to insurance changes, many championship events that she has participated in this year such as Spartan Sprint Championship in Hvar, FISO OCR World Championships, plans for next year, and much more!

Ever notice how big goals melt into "some day land" when the day gets messy?  On today's episode, we break down a simple, evidence-backed tool that turns “I should” into “I did,” replacing fragile motivation with clear cues and automatic actions. Instead of relying on willpower, we show how to script your behavior like software: a specific trigger, a concrete next step, and a defined finish line that delivers a quick reward your brain actually remembers.  Who does what, when, where, how often, and with whom?  A fundamental question to answer if you want to get good at programming your brain for challenging, consistent action.  You'll hear a practical running example that moves from vague hopes to precise routines: when to act, what to wear, where to go, and how to know you're done. We layer in environment design to remove hidden friction and temptation bundling to make new habits feel rewarding right away. The goal is less decision-making in the moment and more doing on cue.  Then we add the secret amplifier: WOOP—Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan. By naming likely blockers upfront - low energy, surprise tasks, bad weather - and writing alternative if-then plans for each, you keep momentum even when the day doesn't cooperate. You'll learn how to apply the same structure to leadership, feedback, learning, and communication, so your next move is already decided when it matters. Fewer negotiations with yourself, more consistent action, and a system that sticks.  If you're ready to trade hope for a reliable plan, press play and build your first brain program today!  3-minute blog this episode is based on: The simple trick that 2X your chances of doing what you said you would.

Stepping into the most powerful version of yourself — following your dreams, taking the unconventional road, and trusting your gut and intuition — isn't always the easiest path (in fact, it often isn't).However, the reward of walking this path is beyond anything you can imagine. It's full of growth, expansion, abundance, and well… everything you've ever dreamed of.But to walk that path, you'll need to face some obstacles — and yes, it can be scary. You will lose some people along the way (and that's okay), and you will be called crazy (and that's perfect!). It's all part of the bigger picture.Let's talk about it — and also why the spiritual world sometimes has a bad reputation, and how realizing that being “spiritual” doesn't have to look the same for everyone can change everything.Listen to the obstacle podcast here: Ep.39.The Obstacle is the Upgrade You've been Asking forDive deeper inside the Free Goddess Academy Membership:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://portal.nouksgoddessacademy.com/Membership⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to explore more of our programs?Visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.nouksgoddessacademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Or Email:⁠⁠⁠⁠ info@nouksgoddessacademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Come hang out with me!Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/manoukvink⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@manoukvink⁠⁠⁠⁠

Over the next six weeks, I'm going to share some excerpts from a recent message I preached entitled "What if There's More?" about both personal and corporate things that keep us from encountering the "more" of the Holy Spirit. This week I'm dealing with a topic not talked about much anymore. Sin. I pray it will encourage you and challenge you. None of us should ever want to miss God's more.

It's Rivalry Week…kind of.Two of the West Coast's fiercest rivalries take center stage: Washington–Washington State in the Apple Cup, and Oregon–Oregon State to kick off this Saturday in college football.So this week at Y-Option, we welcome Oregon State Athletics Director Scott Barnes, on behalf of our presenting sponsor, 76®, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.I've known Scott for over a decade. He's present, connected, and deeply committed to student-athletes. And what he's navigated the past few years around the near collapse and rebuild of the Pac-12 is a masterclass in leadership.A few things that stood out from our conversation were:* The Obstacle is the Way: In April 2023, Scott was supposed to receive an award in Fresno. Instead, he found himself in the ER with a blood clot. Months later, the Pac-12 as we knew it dramatically changed shape. Two obstacles that could have stopped him in his tracks instead became catalysts. He leaned on a favorite book of both of ours, The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday, and reframed both challenges. Health brought perspective. Conference realignment brought energy. “How do we turn this into a positive?” became his mantra.* Leadership as a Conductor: This was a brilliant analogy as he referenced that leaders can be soloists or conductors. Scott chooses being a conductor to empower his team while balancing urgency with patience, and making sure everyone's playing the same sheet music.* Rebuilding the Pac-12: Alongside commissioner Teresa Gould, Barnes helped stabilize the Pac-12. The result: a challenger brand closer to the ACC/Big 12 than any “Group of Five.” Fans responded. Instead of revenue decline, OSU set attendance records. Beaver Nation leaned in.* Rivalries Matter: Scott was clear: rivalries like Oregon–Oregon State matter. They've built the soul of college football, and they must be preserved. * “There's another move or two” - We spoke about July 1, 2026 and the formal launch of the reimagined Pac-12 and that quote stuck with me.Overall, what Scott Barnes and Oregon State have had to navigate over the past few years is nothing anyone could have predicted when he took the job but as he referenced many times: while the obstacles are clear, going through them with thoughtful and intentional leadership is the way.Thank you for all of the support and enjoy the weekend!Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

The Unstoppable Power of Resilience: How to Rise Above Every Obstacle What does it really take to keep moving forward when life feels impossible? In this mashup episode, I bring you the raw, unfiltered stories of Nick Vujicic, Colin O'Brady, Danny Lee Clark, and James Lawrence—four individuals who have redefined what it means to push past pain, doubt, and impossibility. These are men who didn't just talk about perseverance—they lived it, they bled for it, and they came out the other side with lessons that will inspire you to never back down. Nick Vujicic, born without arms or legs, shares how faith, gratitude, and service transformed his life from despair to impacting millions across the globe. Colin O'Brady takes us inside the mindset that allowed him to cross Antarctica solo, proving that the limits we face are often the ones we place on ourselves. Danny Lee Clark—best known as “Nitro” from American Gladiators—opens up about his battles both in the arena and in life, showing how purpose and passion can keep you fighting long after most would quit. And James Lawrence, the “Iron Cowboy,” reveals what it took to complete 100 triathlons in 100 consecutive days, teaching us all the power of adaptation, grit, and unshakable belief in what's possible. Each of these stories is a reminder that adversity doesn't disqualify you—it equips you. These men show us that struggle isn't a sign of weakness, but the very soil where strength, character, and resilience are grown. They prove that pain can become purpose, and setbacks can become the setup for the greatest comeback of your life. I want you to walk away from this episode with the conviction that no matter where you are, no matter what you're facing, you already have what it takes to rise. It's not about avoiding obstacles—it's about facing them head-on, learning, adapting, and choosing to keep going when everything in you wants to stop. Key Takeaways: Nick Vujicic on choosing gratitude and faith over despair, even when life feels impossible Colin O'Brady's mental strategies for pushing through isolation, fear, and physical limits Danny Lee Clark's powerful reminder that passion and purpose fuel perseverance James Lawrence's lesson on adaptation: why the mind can carry you when the body wants to quit How to turn pain into purpose and setbacks into fuel for growth Why resilience is not about never falling—but about always getting back up This episode is a masterclass in grit, faith, and the unstoppable spirit of the human heart. ⁠⁠⁠⁠

Slowing down doesn't mean giving up. It means realigning. This episode offers a new pace for high-capacity humans — one grounded in identity, not adrenaline. Gentle isn't passive. It's powerful.If slowing down feels risky — like you'll lose your edge, your momentum, or your reputation — this episode is for you.You're not stuck. You're just due for a reset.But not the kind that requires quitting it all or taking a sabbatical.Today, Julie Holly explores the slow reset — a powerful recalibration for high-capacity humans who have learned to move fast, lead boldly, and perform under pressure… but who long for peace without losing their purpose.You'll hear why intentional slowness, when chosen from identity (not burnout), restores clarity, sharpens your decisions, and recalibrates your nervous system.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “gentle” doesn't mean “passive”What happens when we climb without ever descendingHow your nervous system interprets pace as safety or threatWhy rest should be treated with as much precision as performanceHow ILR reframes slowing down as leadership, not failureJulie shares a recent story about returning from an intensive Private Recalibration Session — and how, instead of pushing through, she chose to reset. She reminds us: recalibration isn't a one-time event. It's a way of life.You'll also hear about Ryan Holiday's powerful evolution from The Obstacle Is the Way to Stillness Is the Key — and how that shift mirrors what many high-capacity humans are experiencing now. (Julie will link the book in the show notes.)

What do launching into orbit and starting a grueling mountain ultra have in common? More than you might think. In this episode, we draw from Ryan Holiday's The Obstacle Is the Way and NASA's astronaut training to explore how familiarity—not bravado—builds confidence on the trail. Just as astronauts rehearsed every scenario to make the unknown feel routine, trail runners can train for the unexpected: long stretches without aid, bad weather, gear failures, or the mental fog of mile 90. We discuss how to simulate race conditions, build mental protocols for problem-solving, and control the factors within your grasp. By exposing yourself to stress in training—whether it's night running, solo efforts, or challenging terrain—you build emotional muscle to stay calm when it matters most. The obstacle isn't the mountain ahead—it's the panic in your chest, and with the right preparation, you can take its power away.
