Matt and Michael open with the Texas heat and the strange feeling of being between seasons. Not just summer tipping toward fall, but the inner seasons of thought and spirit where old ideas fade and new ones haven't arrived. What do you do when you don't know what to do? They explore anxiety and faith, the discipline of presence, and how focusing on relationships unlocked unexpected reconnections. Then things get deeper. They wrestle with truth as conforming to reality, the fear of God as respect for overwhelming power, and why rights only work when they come from God rather than government. The conversation turns to communism and why it always ends in genocide, why markets and elections work because they let reality speak, and why everything good is good because of love. Michael calls it what it is. Two guys stumbling through ideas, pushing on things, trying to find the meat on the bone. Cheers y'all

Most leaders hit a point where the roar of success becomes isolating and their go-to solutions often fall short. If reaching out to old friends or mentors isn't enough anymore, there's a vital type of relationship you're likely missing. Discover the radical honesty, clarity, and growth that only a peer at your level can provide and why it's the secret weapon for truly sustainable leadership.When you're navigating complex decisions and high-stakes challenges, the people closest to you, your team, family, or long-time friends, often want to support you but can't see the full picture. Their feedback may be filtered through love, loyalty, or even fear, making honest confrontation rare and risky. That's why the most valuable insight often comes from someone outside your immediate circle, someone who's building at the same altitude, facing similar dilemmas, and can tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.In this episode, we break down: Why your trusted relationships may be inadvertently holding you back rather than pushing you forward The critical difference between support and honest challenge and why true growth demands the latter How to identify and cultivate a peer relationship that fuels your leadership at the highest level The subtle but powerful impact of radical honesty in decision-making and strategic thinking Practical steps to build this rare partnership before it's too late If you're a leader climbing higher, whether you're in a C-suite, scaling a startup, or leading a high-growth team, this episode is your blueprint for unlocking authentic, unfiltered insight. Without this kind of relationship, you risk stagnation, misjudged decisions, or burnout. But with it? You'll gain the clarity to act decisively, the confidence to challenge your assumptions, and the resilience to sustain success.Are you ready to stop having the same conversations and start engaging in the kind of dialogue that truly transforms your leadership? This is essential listening if you want to lead with more intention, make smarter choices, and find the support that actually pushes you forward. The right peer can become your North Star. Don't miss your chance to find that connection. Think First

Find us at www.crisisinvesting.com Find Tom at www.tomwoods.com In a wide-ranging discussion, Tom Woods joins Doug Casey and the host to assess current U.S. politics, culture, and economics. Woods reflects on Trump's 2024 win, the apparent retreat and performative nature of "wokery," and a broader sense that public life is "oddly fake," arguing that Trump squandered political capital and abandoned promising ideas like DOGE while ballooning spending, pursuing misguided trade and housing approaches, and attacking right-wing dissenters. They discuss generational divides in information and voting behavior, pessimism about fixing deficits and entitlements, and the likelihood that "reality" will force a fiscal reckoning through unmanageable interest costs or money printing. The conversation also touches on U.S.-Israel influence politics, concerns about deeper military integration, social media's role in mass conformity, the possibility of U.S. fragmentation, and Woods's commitment to keep speaking out and promoting his newsletter and history courses. 00:00 Welcome Tom Woods 00:33 Old Friends on PBS 01:10 Culture Wokery and Faith 04:15 Trump Momentum and Plan B 05:42 Economic Agenda Letdown 06:53 Housing Prices and Mortgages 09:48 Loyalty Tests and Vance 13:47 Israel NDAA and Intelligence 18:19 Censorship and Empire Decline 19:30 Pride Ads and Mass Psychosis 23:01 Social Media Amplifier 25:13 Will America Break Up 30:01 Keep Fighting Anyway 31:43 No Matter Who You Vote 33:03 Owning the McCain Line 34:04 Twitter Algorithms and Links 34:35 Debt Nobody Wants to Fix 39:49 Progress and Modern Comforts 43:00 Phones Amplify Human Nature 44:43 Boomers vs Gen Z Divide 48:19 Self Reliance for Young Men 51:23 Doug Casey Boomer Memories 55:54 Risks Hope and Do What You Can 58:28 Tom Woods Courses and Farewell

Send us Fan MailEpisode 334 - Catching up with an old friend.I first met Duncan Wilcox 12 or so years ago. He hired me as a guide but we got on so well that we ended up fishing a lot together.At the time, he was based in Devon but moved to Spain and has had a base in New Zealand for 25 years.In this episode, you'll hear us catch up, talk fishing and I hear a little about Duncan's fishing exploits.This was an impromptu recording that happened on the river during a hatch we had high hopes for.I hope you'll enjoy this episode.

In this episode we feature one of the giants of story telling and of long form journalism, Tracy Kidder. Kidder passed away at the age of 80 in March 2026, and so we are sharing this recording from 2011 as a way for us to celebrate his life and work, and all that he has given to readers. Spanning over 50 years, Kidder's career began at the Iowa Writers Workshop where he enrolled in 1974 after military service in the Vietnam war. He began with aspirations to be a novelist but soon found that he had talent for seeing the through line of the lives of the people all around him. And so for his entire storied career, Kidder wrote compellingly about ordinary people from all walks of life, including carpenters, home builders, computer programmers, Haitian doctors, schoolchildren, and nursing home residents  – just to name a few. Along the way he earned a Pulitzer, a National Book Award, and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, for his ground breaking books like The Soul of a New Machine and Mountain Beyond Mountains. His body of work included dozens and dozens of articles, and twelve books, which came to redefine an entire genre of nonfiction. He joined us in 2011 after the publication of a book called Strength In What Remains, and he tells the story of learning to write in Iowa, and then his apprenticeship turned life-long professional relationship with Richard Todd who was one of the Atlantic Magazine's famed editors. It's an extraordinary story in which Kidder reveals his mistakes, uncertainties, and vulnerabilities as much as his successes. And he does so with self effacing humor and quiet wisdom. This is a must-listen for every aspiring writer, and for every reader who wants deeper insight into the creative process and to understand how many of the stories that have come to define modern journalism were made. Tracy Kidder graduated from Harvard and the University of Iowa. He won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Award, and many other literary prizes. He is the author of Rough Sleepers, A Truck Full of Money, Good Prose (with Richard Todd), Strength in What Remains, My Detachment, Mountains Beyond Mountains, Home Town, Old Friends, Among Schoolchildren, House, and The Soul of a New Machine. Kidder passed away in 2026.

NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming Buy it -- www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. Jim Collins is the author of some of the most influential business books ever written — Good to Great, Built to Last, and Great by Choice. His concepts have become part of the leadership vocabulary. Level 5 Leadership. The Flywheel. First Who, Then What. The Hedgehog Concept. He spent more than a decade at Stanford as a professor and has advised CEOs, four-star generals, and heads of state. His new book is What to Make of a Life: Cliffs, Fog, Fire, and the Self-Knowledge Imperative. It is the product of ten years of research and is the most personal thing he has ever written. We flew to Boulder, Colorado, to record this one in person with Jim. Key Learnings Jim's grandfather wrote his own death story. Jimmy Collins was a test pilot in the 1930s. He told Jim's grandmother, Dolores, that if he died, she should pull the last chapter from his desk and publish it. He died in a test crash. After the service, she pulled out the chapter. The title was "I'm Dead." The last chapter, written in first person, described the plane coming out of the sky, the screaming wings, the crash. The final words, by his own pen: "I am dead now." For seven decades, his grandmother never cried. When Jim asked her in her nineties to tell the story of his grandfather, she cried and said, "Thank you for that. I've never cried before." She'd been a single mom in the middle of the Depression. Of all the things Jim feels good about in his life, asking her to tell that story before she died at almost 100 years old is one he's most proud of. A cliff is an event that alters the trajectory of your life and forces you to reconstruct everything that comes after. Jim's first big cliff: he lost his father while his father was still alive. Jim's father took the family to San Francisco in the 1960s. They lived a few houses down from Haight Street. When a man was shot dead on their doorstep, Jim's mom moved them to Boulder. They lived in a cold basement with cots and a hot plate. They couldn't afford a Christmas tree, so Jim and his brother rolled a boulder into the basement and called it their Christmas rock. The Greyhound bus moment. In high school, Jim took a Thanksgiving turkey on a Greyhound bus down to New Mexico, where his father was living in an adobe hut with a dirt floor. He had this romantic vision: they'd cook the turkey, share Thanksgiving, bond as father and son. The whole weekend, his father had no interest in him. He spent it trying to convince Jim to convince his grandmother to give him money. On the bus ride home, looking out the window into the fog, Jim realized: there will never, ever be a father there. No male role models. No frameworks. No guidance. "I've got this one life. What do I do with it?" The inflection point in Jim's life is Joanne. They got engaged four days after their first date. He'd admired her from afar for years but never had the courage to ask her out. Once they were together, Jim began a conscious process: I need to become a person worthy of being married to her. He didn't know exactly what that meant or how to get there. But he knew that was the work. Forty-six years later, it's still a never-ending journey. What Joanne does brilliantly: she sees what needs attention. Jim is encoded to hear it. Someone once asked Joanne what she thought Jim's greatest strength was. She said: "Jim takes critical feedback better than any person I've ever met." Joanne sees what needs attention. Jim hears it. Then they adapt and adjust. That's the inner flywheel of their marriage. Circle the wagons together. Guns pointing out, never at each other. When life gets really difficult, whether it's disease or other cliffs. You are always together. Always on the inside of the wagons. Never aimed at each other. Joanne won the 1985 Hawaii Ironman by 92 seconds. With a hamstring injury that limited her running training to 16 miles a week, she came off the bike with a 10-minute lead. Then mile by mile, the lead shrank. Nine minutes. Eight. Seven. With a few miles left, she stopped in the middle of the lava field, massaging her legs, almost pleading with them to run. She looked up at the sky. Then her gaze fixed somewhere down the road. She started to run. You're racing for self-respect. Joanne told Jim afterward: in the end, you're racing to know that you couldn't have run a step faster. Only you'll know. If you know you couldn't have run a step faster, that's actually winning. When Jim writes, he's on the lava fields. When he finishes a book, he wants to know he couldn't have written one sentence better. When you're on the lava fields, this is the moment you want to quit. Don't. Writing is thinking. When the writing isn't working, the thinking isn't clear. Go back to the data. Find the through-line. There are three types of luck: What luck. A cancer diagnosis. A guitar left in an empty house. An event that breaks your way. Who luck. The people who walk into your life. Joanne. Morten Hansen. Jerry Porras. Bill Lazier. Zeit luck. When what you're doing intersects with the surrounding zeitgeist. Jimmy Page was in Surrey when the British rock explosion happened. Luck is an event you didn't cause, with significant consequences, and an element of surprise. The big winners weren't luckier. They had a higher return on luck. What you do with luck events matters more than the luck itself. Bill Lazier: the closest thing to a father Jim ever had. Jim ended up in Bill's class at Stanford because the class he was trying to take was full. The random course-sorting mechanism threw him into the first class Bill ever taught. Pure WHO luck. Jim did not cause that.  Discover your encodings. An encoding is a durable capacity of your intrinsic construction that resides within, awaiting discovery through the experiences of life.  Jim has done over 300 online courses on every imaginable subject. Constitutional law. Napoleon. World War I. The history of China. He started them to learn how to teach. Then his curiosity took over. That's what an encoding looks like in the wild. You have a constellation of encodings. Like stars. When your life captures a bright set of those encodings, you're in frame. When it doesn't, you're out of frame. The same person can look amazing in frame and not very amazing out of frame. The most important finding from this book: don't follow anyone else's advice. Their advice is well-meaning. It may have worked beautifully for them. But it worked for them because it flowed from their encodings. And their encodings are not your encodings. Barbara McClintock and Grace Hopper. Two women who won the Nobel Prize and shaped computer science. McClintock was encoded for solitary work. She didn't even have a phone. She heard about her Nobel Prize on the radio. Hopper was encoded to work through people. She kept a pirate flag in her office and once stole furniture for her team in the middle of the night. Two completely different encodings. What they shared: their lives were in alignment with their encodings. Leadership is the art of getting people to want to do what must be done. It's not a trait. It's a choice. Anyone in any organization can lead, depending on their desire to make a difference. Nobody needs to wait for a title. Ryan's encoding is "the relentless persistence of invitation." Jim observed that Ryan has incredible encodings for what he'd describe as attractive persistence. Not pushy. Not aggressive. But persistent and welcoming. The invitation never goes away. The way you lead should be different from everyone else. Because you are encoded differently. Trust your encodings, not their playbook. Roger Sherman saved the U.S. Constitution. Twice. He created the bicameral legislature compromise. He insisted the Bill of Rights be amendments, not rewrites. Yet most people don't know his name. He almost never spoke. He listened in committees and waited for the precise moment to introduce just the right point to turn American history. Quiet. Behind the scenes. Uncharismatic. Unglamorous. Enormously effective. That was his encoding. You should largely ignore what other successful leaders did. It's marvelous to listen to. It might give you ideas. But everything that worked for them reflected their encodings, not yours. The work isn't to copy their playbook. The work is to discover your encodings and trust them. The color of Jim's fire changed. When he was younger, his fuel was rage, fury, and a sense of terror with no safety net. He used to worry that if he ever lost it, he'd lose his drive. What replaced it was a different kind of fire: the joy of curiosity, of being lost in giant projects, of marvelous conversations, of sharing what he's learned. His drive is higher than ever. It just feels a lot better now. The 3x3 reflective practice. After almost any conversation, teaching moment, or significant interaction, Jim writes down three things that went well and three things he could have done better. He's done it for years. He's now systematizing it. He doesn't pause to celebrate. He pauses to learn quickly and move on. At the top of Jim's notes for this conversation: "The biggest reminder for today, reconnecting with an old friend." That's the celebration. What could be a better celebration than reconnecting with somebody you've had marvelous conversations with? Reflection Questions What is your most significant cliff? What did you reconstruct on the other side, and what are you still rebuilding? What are your encodings? Not what you've been told you should be, but what genuinely flows from your intrinsic construction. When have you felt most in frame? Like Jim with Joanne, is there a person or purpose you are actively trying to become worthy of? What would that work look like this week?

Bill Bennett, also known as "Billy the Biker," joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his unbelievable story of living over 50 years in the outlaw biker world. After being drafted during the Vietnam era, Bill's life took a wild turn, leading him down a path of crime, addiction, and eventually prison. In this episode, he opens up about what it was really like being a 1% biker, the violence and chaos he experienced, and how he survived decades of living on the edge. From battling addiction and doing time behind bars to cheating death multiple times—including life-threatening medical emergencies—Bill breaks down the moments that should have ended his life but didn't. Now a survivor and founder of a nonprofit helping veterans, he reflects on the lessons learned and how he turned everything around. _____________________________________________ #BikerLife #OnePercenter #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #ExCon #AddictionRecovery #SurvivalStory #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Buy Bill's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Cheatin-Reaper-Lessons-Ive-Learned/dp/B0CTRWG8JP _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Billy the Biker's Introduction 01:16 Early Life in Queens and Levittown 03:32 Childhood Trouble and Cub Scout Stories 05:19 Family Life and Early Rebellion 07:01 Drugs, High School, and Wild Youth 09:02 First Arrests and Teenage Chaos 11:00 Drafted Into the Army 13:11 Military Life, Drug Use, and Near Misses 15:20 Drug Dealing and Black Panthers 17:40 Scams, Smuggling, and Surviving the Army 20:03 Near-Death Experience & Out-of-Body Encounter 22:00 Discharge, Family Illness, and Fleeing the Military 24:13 AWOL Adventures, Shoplifting, and Chasing Home 27:00 Turning Self In, More Jail Time, and Old Friends 32:04 Prison Life, Retribution, and Survival 36:05 Post-Prison Struggles, More Crime, and Near Fatal Overdose 40:00 Rebuilding Life, Selling Coke, and Bar Tales 44:16 Freebase Craziness and Brushes With Death 48:21 Family Losses and Reflections on Death 51:19 Survivor's Guilt and Love 54:17 Revenge, Redemption, and Nonprofit Work 57:44 Beating Up Bad Guys and Collections 01:02:00 Life as a Biker, Clubs, and Hustles 01:07:45 Quitting Drugs and Turning a Corner 01:13:13 Wild Biker Stories and Barroom Tales 01:17:40 Final Reflections, Regrets, and Lessons Learned _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.
