Podcasts about One Step

We meet an unusual hiker this week. Ken Posner has been a long-distance runner and hiker over the years, yet he has gradually morphed into a barefoot runner and hiker. Ken and I discuss this–to me–bizarre footwear choice, and he makes a compelling case for the advantages of barefoot walking. Ken has also taken on the fascinating project of “The Grid” in New York's Catskill Mountains, whereby he hikes each of over 30 mountains in every month of the year. This entails over 400 ascents, and the ability to see those mountains in changing weather and terrain as the year develops. Ken has written a terrific book about his pursuit of “The Grid,” which you can find here at Chasing the Grid: An Ultrarunner's Physical and Spiritual Journey in Pursuit of the Ultimate Mountain Challenge . You can learn more about Ken and his barefoot walking at his website, Barefoot Ken and the Long Brown Path . I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %. I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget.

Chrissy Schubert and her daughter Ady will be attempting a 250-mile section of the Appalachian Trail next year. No big deal, you may think. Think again. Ady is afflicted by profound autism, communicates through writing, and has a heart as big as the trail itself. The adversity that Ady and her family have overcome during her earlier years has strengthened their faith and helped so many others along the way. These links each tell a short story or speak to the way in which Ady is triumphing in life as she faces her teenage years. It is worth checking them all out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obk0wB7yDuI https://www.youtube.com/@adysbigarmy https://adysbigarmy.org/ https://adyhikes.org/ I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade.

Think confidence is something you're either born with or not? Think again. Real confidence isn't a personality trait—it's a byproduct of courage, repetition, and resilience. In this piece, we break down why waiting to “feel ready” is the very thing holding you back, and how the path to unshakable confidence starts with one bold move (even if you're shaking while you take it). You don't need to be fearless. You just need to begin.

This week, we have a little change of pace. I attended the Woods Hole weekend last week as a presenter, and I came away with friendships, more knowledge, and a decent amount of humble pie as I savored the experience. My Dana came with me and experienced a little of what I experience on trail. She hiked into our campsite at Dismal Falls, then camped for her first ever night in a tent in the woods, before hiking back out the following morning. Our sessions at Woods Hole were informative, and we found a bunch of people ready to learn, to share, and to listen. We're all lucky to be part of such a community. Last week was also the culmination of our Mighty BLue Class of 2025, as Beth and Andrew climbed Katahdin after finishing off the 100 Mile Wilderness. We reflected on those last days just yesterday. As you can see below, they took notice of me when I suggested that they should consider their Katahdin “pose” before they reached the brown sign. I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade.

"In this emotional and eye-opening interview, we sit down with Shmulie Hartstein, the founder of B'Sefer Chayim, an urgent initiative born out of heartbreak and driven by love. After witnessing the repeated devastation of families who lost a parent without life insurance, Shmulie decided enough was enough.With raw honesty, he shares the story that led him to launch B'Sefer Chayim—an awareness campaign dedicated to ensuring that no Jewish family ever faces financial ruin in the wake of personal loss."This isn't about business. It's about responsibility. About protecting those we love. About building a future where dignity, security, and foresight replace panic, shame, and last-minute fundraisers.

Glenn Sweitzer, designer and filmmaker, is our guest today. Glenn's fascinating back story takes in working with Disney, designing artwork for Tim McGraw and others, then telling stories through film, before ending up on the Appalachian Trail, discovering and sharing stories along the way. Glenn is a natural raconteur with an eye for detail, and has produced an award-winning Appalachian Trail movie, Trail Mix, that is very evocative of my time out on trail, so there should be plenty for you all to enjoy as he hikes the trail and meets other storytellers along the way. Check out the trailer to Trail Mix here. Local Folk: Trail Mix - Finding Yourself on the Appalachian Trail Glenn has recognized the healing properties of trail hiking and has formed a 501c3 called the Trail Please Foundation, see that clip here. Trails Please Beth and Andrew are within spitting distance of Katahdin, well into the 100 Mile Wilderness, where they met a previous Might Blue Class of member, Bobby Campbell, or Sloggy. Here they are together.

Feeling stuck or demotivated? In this episode... I share a simple way to make real progress with social anxiety. We keep it small and doable with short daily tapping sessions (start with 15 minutes a day) that build momentum. I show what to do when you do not feel like tapping: tap on the resistance first. You will hear practical examples you can try today, like loosening old beliefs, easing the emotion on tough memories, and testing old triggers again when you feel ready. No pressure. No perfection. Just steady steps toward feeling more at ease being yourself. Take one step today.

In this powerful episode of Soul Elevation, I sit down with the extraordinary Laura Bratton, a speaker, coach, and author who shares her inspiring journey of going blind as a teenager—and how she transformed devastation into spiritual strength, resilience, and purpose. Laura opens up about the moment she realized she was losing her sight, the emotional toll it took, and the grief and fear that followed. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her move from “I can't” to “I can”, and how the love of her family, her guide dogs, and her inner courage carried her forward. We talk about: Navigating the trauma of sudden vision loss The power of grit and gratitude Awakening intuitive and energetic awareness when physical senses are diminished Her book, Harnessing Courage, and the deeper meaning behind the title How she helps others overcome change through her coaching and speaking work What her guide dogs taught her about healing, presence, and unconditional love

Most Christian moms struggle with emotions because we were never taught how to process them in God's presence. In this episode, you'll discover the one step most women skip in emotional healing—and how to notice, name, and free your emotions with God's help. If you've ever stuffed down anger, guilt, fear, or even joy, you're not alone. Many women were raised to believe emotions are “too much,” or even wrong. But God designed our emotions as signals, not problems. They can become a pathway to deeper intimacy with Him when we learn how to bring them into His presence instead of running away from them. In this episode of Mom2Mom Mentoring, Misty shares her own journey of learning to welcome emotions she once judged or abandoned, and why that shift has brought her greater freedom. You'll hear a practical, prayerful 4-step rhythm—Notice → Name → Feel → Free—that helps busy Christian moms process emotions in a healthy, biblical way. ✨ What you'll learn in this episode: Why emotions are not good or bad—they're God-given signals. The surprising step most women skip when seeking emotional healing. A simple prayer guide to process your feelings with God's help.

Brother Dustin talks about “Not One Step Back”.

Sandra Katerina Schmelzer Alvarez, or Peaches, completed her Appalachian Trail thru-hike last month. She is a single mother who managed her autistic son's reaction to her hike by preparing him for a year before she left. The hike allowed her to see herself as not just a mother, embracing the hiking community and returning home to her son, Nico, with a new perspective on life and motherhood. You can follow Sandra and see plenty of her thru-hike photographs on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/share/1B7SHgqvAN/?mibextid=wwXIfr.

Choreography copyright exists in a fascinating legal gray area where cultural ownership and legal protection often clash. When Alfonso Ribeiro attempted to claim rights to his iconic "Carlton Dance" from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air after Fortnite used it as a purchasable emote, his case was dismissed because the Copyright Office deemed the routine "too simple" - just three basic dance steps without sufficient originality. This ruling sparked crucial conversations about what makes dance protectable.The landscape shifted dramatically when choreographer Kyle Hanagami sued Epic Games over a four-count hook from his registered routine appearing in Fortnite. When the Ninth Circuit reversed an initial dismissal in 2023, they delivered a game-changing perspective: "Reducing choreography to isolated poses is like reducing music to single notes." This recognition that even short sequences could embody original expression opened new possibilities for dancers seeking protection.We explore how this legal evolution continues with Kelly Heyer's ongoing battle against Roblox for monetizing her viral "Apple Dance" without permission. With platforms earning substantial revenue from choreographic content, questions of fair compensation and proper licensing have never been more urgent. Meanwhile, international cases reveal how different jurisdictions approach dance protection - from China's rejection of single-pose copyright to Brazil's emphasis on proving tangible harm.Through these stories, we distill five crucial principles governing choreography copyright: basic movements remain freely available to all; originality exists in arrangement rather than individual steps; even short sequences can qualify for protection if distinctive enough; evidence of harm matters as much as creativity; and courts continually seek balance between creator rights and cultural freedom. As dance moves from stages to avatars in the metaverse, these principles will shape how we value and protect movement in the digital age.Ready to dive deeper into intellectual property's fascinating frontiers?

Gestational diabetes (GDM) is one of the most common health issues during pregnancy, and diagnosing it is more complicated than you might think. In this episode, Dr. Dekker is joined by EBB Research Team member Dr. Morgan Richardson Cayama to cover the newly updated evidence on how GDM is diagnosed. They walk through the physiology behind GDM, current testing methods, and why there's still international disagreement about how to screen. Together, they examine the results of large randomized trials comparing the one-step and two-step screening methods, the research on early screening with hemoglobin A1C, and the evidence on alternatives to the Glucola drink, including candy and home blood sugar monitoring. They also review the risks of skipping screening entirely, and how weight bias and other systemic factors can impact diagnosis and care.   (02:28) What is Gestational Diabetes and Why Is It So Common?

New York City might seem like an unlikely place for a climber of Will Moss's caliber to hail from. And yet, he managed to find his way from the climbing gym, to boulders in Central Park, to runout trad routes in the Gunks and big walls in Yosemite. It was there that he recently made headlines as being the first person to flash a big wall free route on El Cap in just one day.  Moss started climbing in his neighborhood gym when he was ten. For some perspective, that was only a decade ago. It was love at first climb, and he hasn't looked back since. At first, he mainly focused on indoor competition climbing. But when gyms closed during the COVID-19 pandemic he started getting outdoors more. A friend introduced him to the Gunks when he was sixteen, and, as he says, “that's where the dream of trad climbing began.”   Now twenty years old, Moss's 22-hour push on El Cap this May was the culmination of more than two years of planning. In this conversation, we talk in depth about the historic climbs Will is ticking off at a young age, and what he's planning next as he takes a semester off from pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering to chase his climbing dreams. This episode is brought to you with support from Rab Equipment. Host: Abbey Collins Producer & Engineer: Mike Horn Guest: Will Moss Subscribe to Alpinist Magazine   

In this episode, Dr. Killeen answers the big question many dentists ask: “How do I get a practice like yours?” He shares how he and Dr. Brandon Chapek grew from a 6-op startup with modest goals into a $6–7 million practice. The secret wasn't a home run—it was consistent “singles and doubles”: setting small financial targets, building strong systems, hiring for culture, and creating an environment where patients can feel the difference. If you're dreaming of scaling your practice, this episode shows how steady growth and solid foundations lead to big wins.Get your copy of the Dental Startup Manual today at Amazon.com or to learn more about Dr. Killeen and his new book, The Shift, or to connect with him, check out www.AddisonKilleen.com.

Feeling the post-summer financial fog? You're not alone—but now's the perfect time to reset.Summer is a season of rest, family, and fun—but it can also knock our financial habits off course. That's why fall is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and get back on track. Let's explore six small but meaningful steps that can help realign your finances with your goals—and your faith.Summer Spending Can Leave You Off BalanceSummer often brings looser schedules and, sometimes, looser spending. That's okay—we need time to rest. But if your finances feel off-center, it may be time for a reset.1. Review Your Summer SpendingBefore moving forward, look back. Did your summer spending reflect your values or just your impulses? Whether it was vacations, eating out, or spontaneous purchases, reviewing where your money went brings clarity. Think of it as an act of stewardship—learning from the past so you can plan better for the future.2. Revisit Your BudgetSeasons change—and so do financial rhythms. Back-to-school costs, higher grocery bills, or other expenses may have shifted your cash flow. Revisit your budget to ensure it reflects your priorities: generosity, saving, and wise spending.A helpful tool: The FaithFi app makes budgeting a daily reminder that every dollar belongs to God. It helps you plan and track your finances in alignment with your faith.3. Check for Missed PaymentsLife gets busy, and bills sometimes slip through the cracks. Go back and confirm you haven't missed any payments. Even one late bill can hurt your credit. Also, review your autopay accounts to ensure everything is running smoothly. A little attention here prevents bigger headaches later.4. Catch Up on Your GivingGenerosity sometimes takes a backseat in busy seasons. If that happened this summer, take time to prayerfully revisit your giving. Ask yourself: Has God blessed me in a way that calls for deeper generosity? Whether to your church, a ministry, or a neighbor in need, giving is more than duty—it's an expression of trust in God as your ultimate provider.5. Tackle That Financial To-DoWe all have one thing on our financial to-do list that gets pushed aside—reviewing insurance, starting a will, or scheduling a meeting with an advisor. Stewardship often looks like taking the next step, even if it's small or unglamorous.6. Look Ahead with WisdomFall is a season of preparation. Anticipate upcoming costs, such as school expenses, open enrollment, holiday shopping, or tax planning. Mark dates and set reminders now so you won't be scrambling later. Wise stewardship is proactive, not reactive.One Step at a TimeDon't feel pressure to fix everything in one day. Growth—financial and spiritual—comes through steady, faithful diligence. Proverbs 4:26 reminds us: “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”Wherever you're starting from—catching up, starting over, or just resetting—God meets you there. He isn't after perfection; He's after your heart, and He promises to walk with you every step of the way.At FaithFi, we're committed to equipping Christians to integrate faith and financial decisions for the glory of God.

You've been told clarity comes from action, but what if your “doing” is just your nervous system begging for relief, not progress?  In this episode, we cut through the noise and name the real problem: urgent action isn't leadership, it's self-soothing disguised as progress.  You'll learn how to: Spot when your action is hijacked by stress, not strategyPause before jumping into “fix it” modeTake one small, aligned step that still makes sense tomorrow  This is for the woman who's done performing productivity and is ready to lead from grounded clarity.  If you've ever moved fast and still felt stuck—this one's for you.  Do the work: Name the next right step, and take it. Say it out loud. Write it down. Tell one trusted witness. That's how you shift from noise to wisdom and rebuild trust in your own leadership.

“Go directly to your subconscious and say: this is the thing I'm looking for” In this episode, Nick explores the concepts of self-mastery, discipline, and personal growth. He emphasizes that self-mastery is not a destination but a continuous journey, highlighting the importance of understanding that goals, habits, and disciplines can vary greatly from person to person. What to listen for: Self-mastery is a continuous journey, not a destination Goals and habits are unique to each individual Understanding the principles behind habits is crucial Finding what works for you is more important than following trends Small, consistent actions lead to significant changes Meditation and mindfulness can help reset the mind Self-awareness is key to personal growth It's okay to start small and build from there Listen to your own needs rather than external pressures Embrace the chaos and beauty of your journey “You don't have to listen to what anybody else says. Listen to your heart, listen to your soul” Trust your inner guidance over outside noise External opinions aren't always aligned with your truth You're allowed to follow what feels right, not what's popular Inner peace often comes from tuning into your soul's voice “Your mindset and the journey that you work through with your mental health is your journey” Everyone's path to healing is personal There's no “right way” to grow mentally or emotionally Honor your pace and your process Comparing your journey to others only creates resistance You have the power to define what mental wellness means to you About Nick McGowan I'm Nick McGowan, entrepreneur, podcaster, and mental health advocate, and I've been on a 20+ year journey of personal development, learning to master my mindset, emotions, and the art of living with purpose.

A recent survey reveals that nearly 1 in 4 Americans has no emergency savings, and more than a third had to tap into their savings just to get through the past year. Even more sobering, Bankrate reports that only 46% of U.S. adults have enough savings to cover three months of expenses, while 33% have more credit card debt than they do in emergency savings.The numbers are alarming, but they don't have to define your future.Laying the Foundation: Live on Less Than You EarnBefore we talk about building wealth or making investments, we must start with the foundation: living on less than you earn. It's the bedrock of biblical financial wisdom. As John Maxwell put it, “A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” Without a plan, it's easy to drift. But a budget anchors your finances and gives every dollar a purpose.That's where the FaithFi app can help—offering a practical tool to craft a spending plan rooted in biblical values.Proverbs 6:6–8 urges us:“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.”The ant doesn't wait for a crisis—it stores up in advance. That's what budgeting does. It's not about restriction; it's about preparation and wisdom.Why Investing Comes NextOnce you've created margin through budgeting, the next step is investing. Why? Because while money sitting in a checking account loses value due to inflation, investing allows your resources to grow through the power of compound interest.As Proverbs 21:5 (TLB) says:“Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty.”Wise investing isn't about chasing trends—it's about faithful, consistent action over time.Maybe you're thinking, “I don't make enough to invest.” But consider this: If you invest just $100 a month starting at age 25, earning an 8% annual return, you'll have over $300,000 by age 65. That's the power of small, faithful steps over time.And today, getting started is easier than ever. Roboadvisors, such as Schwab Intelligent Portfolios or Betterment, offer diversified, user-friendly platforms that require minimal financial knowledge.Wealth With a Purpose: Stewardship, Not Self-SufficiencyRemember: financial freedom isn't independence from God—it's dependence on Him with wisdom. Deuteronomy 8 reminds us that even the ability to produce wealth comes from the Lord. As Proverbs 13:11 teaches:“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”God doesn't call us to perfection—He calls us to faithful stewardship.Why do we budget, save, and invest? So we can live with margin, give joyfully, and bless others. Wise financial decisions position us to participate in God's Kingdom work—not just provide for ourselves. So if you're feeling stuck, start small:Build a budgetCreate marginSave a littleInvest a littleTrust God with the processOver time, you'll be amazed at what He can do through your faithfulness.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My friend is interested in investing directly in Israel's stock market—how would they go about doing that? Additionally, I'm 83 years old and own a home valued at $360,000. I need to replace the iron pipes, which could cost between $35,000 and $51,000. At my age, what are my options for financing a project like this?My 66-year-old brother wants to set aside money to care for his adult autistic son, who currently lives in a group home. What's the best way for him to save and plan financially for his son's future care after he's gone?I'm 70, working full-time, and receiving Social Security, but I have no savings. My wife and I have been married for 50 years, but she refuses to save.

Adult friendships are difficult. A big part of that is our built environment, which is often designed in a way that stifles social connection instead of supporting it. Kat Vellos is an author, facilitator, and connection coach who's working to change that. She and Tiffany discuss the importance of community building, ways to redesign our built environment, and other steps residents and local leaders can take to help their community thrive.

Brigid Bell set out on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail just two years ago, and had the most extraordinary encounter in the Smokies. That she lived to tell the tale–and continued her thru-hike–is testament to her resilience and the calmness she gained as a 911 dispatcher. Brigid not only flourished on the trail, but she also grew a deep love for the community she found there, and wanted to give back, eventually finding her way into hostel ownership, at the excellent Weary Feet Hostel. You can check out more of Brigid's story by reading the excellent Trek interview that initially sparked my interest, as well as Pat Stith's article. The links are below. A Woman Was Bitten by a Bear on the Appalachian Trail - The Trek and Bear Bait You can follow Weary Feet Hostel on Facebook at Weary Feet Hostel | Bland VA , as well as visit their website at Home Beth and Andrew have reached New York, only to find that the famed rocks of Pennsylvania didn't end at the New Jersey border. Andrew continues to feed his hunger voraciously, while Beth is mounting up the dinners she owes Andrew by falling too often! They've been visited by several friends, a feature of their hike. Dave has made it into New Hampshire and has positioned himself perfectly, with a bunch of fellow hikers as they all prepare for the White Mountains. As you'll see below, the pictures are also getting even better. I used my hike last year on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade.

In this episode, I share why real growth takes time—and why that's a good thing. Trusting the process isn't about sitting back and hoping for the best. It's about showing up every day with purpose, especially when the outcome isn't clear. I talk about how to stay consistent when progress feels slow, how surrender can actually create more space for success, and why uncertainty is often where the best opportunities begin. It's not about rushing the results—it's about having faith in the work, the timing, and yourself. To join my next free Friday Training sessions, email me at david@dmeltzer.com

We meet Charles Bruce, or Tracker, this week. Charles is a member of the Appalachian Trail Class of 2022, and he fulfilled a long-held bucket list item when he completed his thru-hike. Charles is from the northeast, and one of his passions is to track white-tailed deer through the snow. While those skills didn't help with his thru-hike, they gave him his awesome trail name! We'll hear why he needed to be finished before October, and his current plan to keep a promise he made to his wife. Beth and Andrew have reached, and passed, the halfway marker, while the REAL rocks of Pennsylvania will be keeping them company for the next week or so! Meanwhile, Dave is now very much in job mode, with his goal to finish mid-August very much in his sights.
