Podcasts about One Step

Tom Bennett, or Porkie is today's guest. Tom had an epic adventure on the Long Trail in Vermont, sharing with us the family connection he has to the trail.               It wasn't a straightforward hike, with serious injury and recovery, plus dramatic floods punctuating his efforts over two years. He remained resilient and completed his mission after his various mishaps.                             Tim also wrote a blog of his journey for the Trek, which you can read here at Tim Bennett, Author at The Trek . He has now written a book about both his and his father's hikes, which will be available later in the year. When I get that link, I'll put it in future show notes. For now, you can visit his website, http://www.longtrailhiker.com/ and sign up to be notified when the book is available.                Ben Kaplan completed the lineup for the Hike the Good Hike cohort, as he talked about leading AMC winter hikes while finding solace in his solo outdoor adventures. Follow Ben on Instagram at Ben Kaplan (@adbenture_times) • Instagram profile                                 My accountability blog is revealing the culmination of my preparations for my own upcoming AT thru-hike. I'm beyond ready to get out there! I used my hike in 2024 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 %.

Michael Neiman, who, along with Bruce Matson, brought us Platinum Blazing to the trail, is our guest this week. Michael thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2018, and his new book tells that story–as a 98% true novel.                   Michael, or Sharkbait has been juggling a job, parenthood, and his writing to bring this book to publication, and it's a good read, with plenty of page turning moments.                   You can check out the book at his website, Hello Neiman, or on Amazon at Hello My Name is Sharkbait: A 2,000-Mile Adventure on the Appalachian Trail. OR you could follow him on Instagram at Michael Neiman (@helloneiman) • Instagram profile. He even appeared on Minnesota local TV promoting his book, here:Hello My Name is Sharkbait on Minnesota's Fox 9 Good Day - December 22, 2025                 Ezra Peterson, the last remaining member of the Hike the Good Hike cohort, shares his moving story of transitioning from a woman to a man, and he is feeding his joy of the outdoors by taking on a Fastest Known Time for a non-binary person in hiking the Superior Hiking Trail. He's quite self-deprecating in that there isn't currently a record in that category, but his refreshing attitude to a tricky subject shines through in our conversation.                               Finally today, the accountability blog takes us to within three weeks of my start on the Appalachian Trail. I've got everything I need, plus a few things I don't need, but I still haven't packed and tried out my darn pack!!

If you feel stuck in your calling, this episode is for you. In my last episode, I shared how God used neuroscience to get me unstuck in my calling. But before I could move forward, before I could take bold steps, before I could activate what God was asking me to build… I had to get clear. In this episode, I'm breaking down why clarity is the first step to walking in God's calling for your life. So many Christian women think they have a discipline problem. They believe they just need more motivation, more willpower, or more consistency. But after years of coaching women through identity work, brain-based behavior change, and biblical mindset transformation, I've learned this: You're not stuck because you're lazy. You're stuck because you're unclear. We're talking about: How neuroscience impacts decision-making and calling Why your brain cannot move toward what it cannot see The connection between faith and clarity How to discern God's will without overthinking The hidden belief that desire is sinful (and why that belief keeps you stuck) The three types of clarity every woman needs before she can move forward If you've been praying about your purpose, second-guessing your next step, or circling the same decision over and over, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening in your brain and your spirit. Clarity is not a personality trait. It's a skill. And discernment can be strengthened. If you're ready to stop circling and start moving, I created a space specifically for this first step. ✨ Join me inside The Discernment Room A faith-based, brain-based monthly membership focused on clarity, discernment, identity, and direction. Inside, we untangle fear from wisdom, reconnect you to your desires without shame, and help you define your next faithful step.

#338: Every company adding AI coding tools runs into the same wall. Developers produce more code, but features don't ship any faster. The bottleneck just slides downstream -- to QA, to security, to legal, to whoever comes next in the pipeline. And the team that got faster? They don't even realize the people upstream could be feeding them more work. Viktor's take: the fastest possible setup is one person carrying a feature from idea to production. Not one person doing everything alone -- a system designed so nobody waits. Tests run in CI. Deployments happen through Argo CD. Security scanning is automated. There's a real difference between wiring up a light switch and hiring a butler to flip it for you. None of this is new. The same thing happened with punch cards, client-server, cloud, Kubernetes. One group adopts the new thing, everyone else says it doesn't apply to them, and the market eventually forces their hand. Meanwhile, every team in every company says they'd love to change if only the rest of the organization would get on board. Every team says this.

We welcome Rob Diamond to the show today. I met Rob in 2024 in Hot Springs, when we went and tried to help out after Hurricane Helene. Rob told me then that he was planning on a 2025 thru-hike, so I asked him then to follow up with me once he was done.                     Rob's hike didn't turn out as he had expected, yet he battled through innumerable obstacles as he made his way to Katahdin, eventually summiting on his intended summit date of 9/11.                               On the way, Rob raised awareness of the scourge of suicide among military and first responders by carrying dog tags to represent those who die by suicide. It was a deeply personal mission, and Rob fulfilled it in a caring way. You can check out more about Rob on his YouTube channel at DogTag hiking the AT. There is even a terrific little video and song about Kyle's Trail that tracked one of the special dog tags. Check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We85_ujD7MY                 We've met most of our Hike the Good Hike cohort, and this week, single mother Tristen Murphy shares her emotional story. Tristen is hiking the John Muir Trail later in the year. We hope she has a blast!                                         In my accountability blog, I share news of my pre-hike check up with my Doctor. He gave me the green light! I used my hike in 2024 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 Valentine's Day episode, Scott reflects on the Buddhist monks who recently completed their 2,300-mile peace walk to Washington, D.C., drawing connections between walking meditation, pilgrimage, and the true nature of love. He explores how love is primarily a decision and practice rather than just a feeling, using 1 Corinthians 13 as a guide to understand love as patience, kindness, and endurance. Scott shares insights from his retreats at Magnolia Grove Monastery in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh, emphasizing that sustaining long-term relationships—whether marriages, friendships, or commitments to justice—requires showing up one step at a time, even when feelings waver. This episode reframes Valentine's Day as an opportunity to practice love as a sustained commitment rather than momentary emotion.

In this episode, Marsha speaks with Dr. James Thompson. Dr. Thompson is a board-certified allergist and immunologist with over 30 years of clinical experience, now recognized for his work in lifestyle medicine and public health education.

God has given us this opportunity, today, to invest our lives for His glory. But greatness requires endurance, perseverance. Am I one who keeps going, seeking, trusting, moving ahead by faith? What does it require us to accomplish God's work? A steadfast heart, mind and work ethic.

If you're just getting here, welcome to First Reformed Church. Today is truly a blessing as Scouts, leaders, and families gather for Scout Sunday — a service that weaves jokes about knot-tying and Lions Club uniforms into a larger story about trust, service, and the light of Christ. Through a candid, heartfelt message the pastor compares faith to hiking with a compass: you may not see the whole path, but you follow the One who knows the way. Anecdotes — a lost pair of keys found at customer service, the honest confession of not making it past knot-tying, and the painful work of forgiving a child's bully — turn everyday moments into invitations to trust delays, practice patience, and live faith in action. The sermon culminates in a simple challenge: one random act of kindness. As the congregation brings the light of Christ into the world, listeners are asked to be prepared — to serve, forgive, and build a life on the rock of Jesus' love — carrying this Scout Sunday message into family, community, and everyday choices.

Savannah Schuring, or Snazzy Cat, took on an Appalachian Trail thru-hike–which she completed in a remarkable three months–as her graduate thesis. On the way, she was interviewing hikers as to their motivations to be out on the trail and learned so much from them, and about herself, with some fascinating conclusions.                               Savannah always loved the outdoors and, indeed, was a long-distance runner, but she came to love long hikes and completed her Triple Crown.               Her new book, Between the Miles, is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G3MCZS73 . You can also check out her website at http://savannahschuring.com , while you can connect with her on social media at https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/117946462927501/, or at https://www.instagram.com/direct/t/17846517893892959/                         Our Hike the Good Hike member this week is Jim Wellman, who, like Steve, is attempting an Appalachian Trail thru-hike this year, starting about a month after Steve. Jim is open about his personal mental health struggles, and hope to reach others in a similar situation. You can follow Jim on several social media platforms on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jimsonanotheradventure/ and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jimwellmanPADI. He also has a YouTube channel, which you can find here, https://www.youtube.com/@jimwellman76310                             Finally, our Accountability Blog brings us up to date with the preparations for my own hike on the Appalachian Trail next month.

This week saw Racing Santander revert to type, after beating Depor the week before they lost to a team in the relegation battle to give hope to the rest. Castellon, Depor, Almeria, Cordoba and Burgos closed the gap, so with Malaga still yet to play at the time of recording it was only Las Palmas in the top 8 who didn't take full advantage, although they did edge slightly closer with a draw. Down the bottom it was a good week for Albacete, Eibar and Granada, all three of whom are on mini runs of their own and chat about the bottom half of the table will make up the content of part 2 of this week's show.  Why wait until Thursday for part 2?

Olympic Gold MedalistThe world of sports I find fascinating to watch! Years of discipline, conditioning, travel, competitions, etc. all go into building a winning athlete & team. Their stories behind the World Championships, Team M.V.P.'s & Gold are even more so. Can an orphan from an abusive childhood, shuffled from foster home to home, even living on the streets, low self-esteem go on to be a winner in life? It starts with the stories about you have in your mind. You have to see it, speak it, mentor with & surround yourself & your environment to condition YOU for victory! What an eye opener to hear about life after the games from one of my friends  Olympic Gold Medalist Dana Hee. She is grateful to God for her victories. Dana may be a familiar face, not only from winning the "Gold" bunot only from winning the "Gold" but from television & movies like Mortal Combat, Charlie's Angels, Lethal Weapon & many more.  Dana Lynn Hee is an Olympic Gold Medalist and is currently a Hollywood film and television actress, as well as one of an award winning stuntwomen in the entertainment industry. . She has also doubled for Hollywood's top actresses': Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Gwynneth Paltrow, Renee Russo, and Jennifer Garner.She also a noted writer, lecturer and television color commentator, and has an extensive background as a speaker to Fortune 500 companies. It's an understatement to say that Dana's childhood was hard. The child of divorced, alcoholic parents, she endured abuse, abandonment, and despair. The years of being passed back and forth between an orphanage, suicidal family members, halfway houses, a commune, government shelter, and finally a foster home, took their tole. Dana grew up to be a young woman with little self-esteem or self-confidence, and a huge fear of failure. To her, nothing seemed possible. It was as if the two words, 'I can't' were programmed into her mind, and she struggled to escape a lifelong habit of running from her fears. Dana looked within herself for strength and determined to make a change. Armed with an ounce of courage, and a glimpse of hope, she set out to make a dream of hers come true. Through the agonizing, against-the-odds process of this struggle, she made the transformation from a shy, under-achieving, below-average young woman to an Olympic Gold Medalist with a new sense of self-esteem, and, finally, some hope for the future.Her story of how this happened - and the lessons you can take from it - are enough to inspire the most discouraged soul. But Dana didn't stop there. She started accepting speaking engagements, then graduated to keynote speeches. She shifted from martial arts, to modeling, and then acting, before setting her sights on becoming a top Hollywood stuntwoman in the movie industry. If this sounds easy, it wasn't. To this day, Dana battles self-doubts whose roots extend back to her youth. But she never quits. She competes successfully in the world's most challenging industries.Dana's autobiography, One Step with Courage: The Story of My Life From Olympic Gold Medalist to Hollywood Stuntwoman, was released in May 2020. Taekwondo Life Magazine featured her story and book release in March, 2021, as part of its International Women's Day Celebration ~ DanaHee.com© 2026 All Rights Reserved© 2026 BuildingAbundantSuccess!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

✨  Ready to transform from reactive chaos to intentional confidence? Join my FREE Parenting Reset Workshop → https://www.drlindsayemmerson.com/workshop Feeling like you're constantly reacting to your child's behavior instead of preventing it? You're not alone—and it's not your fault. There's a neurological reason your brain keeps you stuck in reactive mode, and in this video, I show you exactly how to shift into intentional, confident parenting. You'll discover what reactive parenting actually looks like (and why it's not bad parenting), the hidden neurological cost of chronic reactivity on you and your child, why inconsistent responses create anxiety in children, the exact 5 C's framework that transforms chaos into calm confidence, how to plan your responses during calm moments instead of crisis moments, and the one practice that retrains your brain to default to intention instead of reaction. This isn't about being perfect—it's about being purposeful. When you parent with intention instead of desperation, your child gets the best version of you. #IntentionalParenting #ParentingPsychology #5Cs #CalmParenting #parentingconfidence  New to my podcast?  I'm Dr. Lindsay Emmerson, a clinical psychologist and Mom of 4, and I help parents find that sweet spot between support and structure that psychology research tells us is best for families now and best for our kids in the future. ------------------------------------------- Let's connect!

In this deeply human and grounding conversation, guest host Sana sits down with Ryan Reichert to explore the concept of Protector Development—the inner armor we build to survive pain, trauma, and relentless life challenges. From childhood adversity and military service to addiction recovery, divorce, and rebuilding life from the ground up, Ryan shares how survival mode shapes our identity and how healing begins when we allow ourselves to ask for help. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in a valley, questioning their past decisions, their worth, or their future. Ryan reminds us that progress doesn't come from massive leaps, but from small, intentional steps—just 1% better each day. A powerful reminder that strength is not about never breaking, but about learning how to bend, heal, and rediscover purpose. About the Guest: Ryan Reichert is a U.S. Army veteran with 23 years of service, a recovering alcoholic, author, speaker, and founder of Our Protector Development. Through his books, coaching, and courses, Ryan helps individuals turn pain into purpose, survival into service, and brokenness into growth. Key Takeaways: – Protector behaviors are formed in survival and need compassion, not judgment – Healing begins when we give ourselves permission to ask for help – One small step a day can change everything – Routines build stability when life feels chaotic – You are not broken—you are becoming Connect with Ryan: Website: https://ourprotectordevelopment.com/  Instagram| Facebook Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life ?

This week, Tony Roddy joins the podcast. Tony walked across America in 2015, vowing to do one of the long-distance American trails ten years later. His original choice was the CDT, but a last-minute change took him to the Appalachian Trail, where he relished his experience.                                   Tony used his time on the AT to raise funds for autism, an affliction close to home in his family. He also raised funds for the Make A Wish Foundation on his walk across America ten years ago.                     You can see more of Tony on his YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/xCmVyyYpxDw , a magazine article at https://vue-magazine.dcatalog.com/v/July-2025/?page=1, and his blog at https://vue-magazine.dcatalog.com/v/July-2025/?page=1 .                     In our Hike the Good Hike cohort this week, Colby Park shares his story and his upcoming Colorado Trail thru-hike later in the year. He was self-deprecating about his YouTube channel in our conversation, but you can check it out here. https://youtube.com/@colbyonthetrail?si=CxewWH8BFNnJdzwg                     Finally, the accountability blog continued my training and gear journey, with the major new item this week being a 5-pack of underpants!! I used my hike in 2024 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 our annual check-in with renowned mastering engineer Kevin Gray, he reflects on a very busy 2025 that included his Rhino High Fidelity versions of Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks' long-out-of-print Buckingham Nicks. How did Gray and fellow mastering engineer Chris Bellman feel about Rhino releasing separate versions of Buckingham Nicks mastered by each of them? Gray also discusses the Rhino High Fidelity John Coltrane: 1960-1964 Mono box, for which he revisited some albums he'd previously mastered in stereo. Gray's RHF version of T. Rex's Electric Warrior followed the label's reel-to-reel tape release of that album—which should sound better? Of course, we had to address the hullabaloo sparked by Gray's comments on Caropop a year ago criticizing the One Step pressing process. Was he surprised? Does he feel vindicated? Other topics covered: Gray's Blue Note Tone Poet work with producer Joe Harley; the jazz albums Gray is recording and releasing on his Cohearent Records label. What's in store for 2026?

We meet a member of the Class of 2012 this week, who happens also to be a member of this years class of 2026. In fact, Todd Sears is starting the day after I start, in March this year.                               He had a long career in military intelligence, and brings a military discipline to his hike, both back in 2012 and in his plans for this year. I should be meeting him very early on as he will doubtless breeze past me at speed.                   You can read about his earlier hike from a blog that he wrote; Nor'easter's 2012 Appalachian Trail Journal : March 20, 2011 : Trail Journals, Backpacking and Hiking Journals. To compare his hiking and his writing back then, you should check out the Tek, as Todd is one of their trail correspondents this year; NorEaster, Author at The Trek                               We start our season of Hike the Good Hike participants for 2026 with Elizabeth Thompson, who has endured both domestic abuse and cancer in recent years. She is hiking the PCT and our conversation became quite emotional. You can keep up with Elizabeth on Instagram at (@footstepsandforests) • Instagram profile , and on YouTube at elizabeth                             With just eight weeks to go before I head out, I share some mildly disappointing news about my gear, and some encouraging news about my protein intake!!

Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, accomplished producers and performers on their own, came together to produce one of rock's greatest debut albums, R.E.M.'s Murmur. That 1983 classic plus the preceding, Easter-produced EP, Chronic Town, have gotten the all-analog, One Step treatment in a numbered, limited-edition vinyl release from Interscope-Capitol's Definitive Sound Series. We reunited Easter and Dixon to discuss the making of Murmur plus the follow-up they produced, Reckoning. What did they each bring to the process? Why does one of them consider Murmur to be the Dark Side of the Moon of the New Wave era? What had changed by the time they recorded Reckoning? Easter also talks about working again with R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills on the latest Baseball Project album, and Easter and Dixon offer details about Murmur that even this longtime R.E.M. fanatic found revelatory. (You'll never hear “Radio Free Europe” or “Perfect Circle” in the same way.)

Dave Herring is a photographer, educator, and founder of Very Good CO. He's also a creative nomad and a long time friend. In this episode of Photo Fuel, I chat with Dave about how curiosity led him to a whole new career as a photographer and educator. From leaving the East Coast and relocating his family to California with no concrete plan, to working with brands like Leica and Hasselblad, Dave shares how paying attention to what felt meaningful—and staying generous along the way—shaped his career and a life that supports his ultimate measure of success: being in charge of his time. We talk about blending past experience into creative work and how free content and generosity have become foundational to his business. This conversation is packed with stories that will inspire you and leave you feeling hopeful for all that's possible. Even though Dave is primarily a landscape photographer, this episode offers new perspective we all need on the value of metrics, making decisions in your business, and what it really means to make art your work—one thoughtful step at a time.   // LINKS MENTIONED // Blog Post: "Generosity changed everything:" https://dave.online/writings/how-generosity-changed-everything Very Good CO: shopverygood.com Unsplash: https://unsplash.com/ STEPHEN SHORE Photo books: Stephen Shore by STEPHEN SHORE - Book: 9781633450486 | Rizzoli Bookstore // CONNECT WITH DAVE //  Dave's youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@davidherring DAVE'S WEBSITE: Dave.online // CONNECT WITH LEAH // Leah's website: https://www.leahoconnell.com Leah's IG: https://www.instagram.com/leahoconnell.photo

What happens when a woman in midlife looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize herself anymore? For Belinda Coker, that moment didn't lead to reinvention seminars or vision boards — it led her into the rainforest, onto long trails, and eventually across continents. In this episode, Belinda shares how solo hiking became both a reset and a reclaiming: of confidence, health, joy, and self-trust. From walking the Camino de Santiago to surviving storms in Greenland, from navigating menopause-related health challenges to serendipity on a bus to Hadrian's Wall, this is a conversation about what happens when women finally do something for themselves. The mirror moment that sparked Belinda's midlife turning point How hiking soothed anxiety and reset her nervous system What solo hiking teaches you about confidence and self-reliance Living with lipedema — and staying active anyway How house sitting opened the world while keeping travel affordable Why it's never too late to start — and why midlife may be the perfect time Belinda wraps it up reminding us there are surprises around every corner.

When we contemplate significant changes in our lives, our flight, fight, or freeze response may kick in. We tend to prioritize safety, and our autonomic nervous system can pose a significant barrier to transformation. Learning to move forward without waging an internal war is crucial.

The self-deprecating James Kinch is on the show today, claiming the title of the "Fattest Known Time" on the Appalachian Trail, having twice thru-hiked the trail, starting at well over 300lbs each time.                         James has published his journal of the hike, and he serves as an inspiration to those who convince themselves that they can't do this hike for many reasons, one of which is often their weight. James just got on with it and made it to Katahdin each time.           You can check out his book at Fat Man Walking: 330 Pounds and 2200 Miles on the Appalachian Trail and read his blog on Substack at Middle-class Homeless | James Kinch | Substack.         This week on my accountability blog, I log further physical and gear progress as the year draws to a close.

We meet Jesse Cody and Mike Rose today, and hear about their non-profit, Hike the Good Hike, an organization committed to enhance mental wellness through nature. They have partnered with several well-known outdoor brands to provide a path for a disparate cohort of people taking on US hikes in 2026. Jesse and Mike value the stories that hikers tell and this podcast will help tell some of those stories as we meet most, if not all, of the 2026 cohort in the coming weeks. I encourage you all to find out more about this deserving organization at their website, Hike The Good Hike and, should you wish to donate to the cause, you can do so here. Give Back with HTGH Also today, we meet Max Kiel from Hyperlite Mountain Gear, as he shares his knowledge about the four packs I wanted to learn about. I had my clear preference coming into the conversation, and he clarified my thinking. Here's the pack I chose. Finally today, my accountability blog records the hiatus I had in my training before picking up once more, earlier this week. I've also got gear, food and transportation issues to share with you all.

Emily Manzon, or Tic Tac, is our guest this week. Emily was looking for an epic way to celebrate her 40th birthday this year, so the Appalachian Trail certainly checked that box. Along the way, Emily gained a respect for the trail and the impact it had upon her, using mantras to reflect her attitude along the way. Missing 200 miles partway through, she could have been content as a 2,000-miler, yet returned to the trail for a more solitary experience as she filled in those miles, heading south. Also this week, I welcomed Dan Durston from Durston Gear to help me with my tent choice for next year's hike. Dan answered all my questions, and I settled on this little beauty below. I'm so looking forward to using the X-Dome 2 next March. In my accountability blog, I share a bit of bad news on the physical prep front, while explaining why I chose the X-Dome 2 as my tent for 2026. 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.

Tom Margaria, a retired FDNY firefighter, set out on January 1st from Key West to hike the 5700 mile Eastern Continental Trail. On the way, Tom met up with–and joined–the "Over the Hill Gang," the group including Dave Santi, one of my Mighty Blue Class of 25 this year. Tom, a man of deep faith, would ask people he met along the way how he could pray for them. This kind request came with a variety of answers, though Tom always saw the positives. He made it to the end, and reflects upon his mammoth journey with Steve. Also on the show today, is Tayson Whittaker, owner of Outdoor Vitals, an interesting gear company with an impressive business model and an equally impressive boss. Check out their website at https://outdoorvitals.com/ Finally, we hear the latest entry in my accountability blog, with big decisions being made over gear. 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 %.
