Send us a textRetired Marine Corps fighter pilot, Top Gun instructor, and leadership consultant Dave Berke joins Joe for an honest conversation about ego, responsibility, and what it truly means to lead—both in the arena of combat and in everyday life.As the bestselling author of The Need to Lead, Dave pulls back the curtain on the high-pressure world of fighter aviation, the chaos of ground combat in Ramadi, and the quiet challenges of becoming a better leader at home.  He reveals how his biggest breakthroughs came not from triumphs, but from failure—from dogfights he should have won, leadership roles he wasn't ready for, and moments where ego clouded judgment.In this episode, Joe and Dave also explore:Why ego is the most dangerous threat to good leadership—and how to recognize the voice that “loves you to death”How Top Gun actually works (and why the instructors are more humble than Hollywood suggests)Lessons from Ramadi—operating in chaos, fighting self-doubt, and learning fast under pressureWhy leaders fail when they cling to control instead of developing othersThe danger of complacency—and how one “guaranteed win” dogfight changed Dave's approach to preparationPreparing for your own departure as a leader—why good leadership outlasts the leaderThe hard emotional work of transition and why believing in your next mission matters more than salary, title, or prestigeWhether you're leading in uniform, managing a team, or navigating a major life transition, this episode offers hard-earned wisdom on how to stay grounded, remain teachable, and build teams capable of enduring whatever comes next.Dave Berke is a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer, former TOPGUN Instructor, and now the Chief Development Officer and a leadership instructor at Echelon Front. As an F/A-18 pilot, he deployed twice from the USS John C. Stennis in support of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. He later spent three years at TOPGUN as an Instructor Pilot, Training Officer, and senior staff pilot overseeing the course.He also served on the ground in Ramadi in 2006 as an ANGLICO Forward Air Controller with the Army's 1st AD, leading his team on scores of combat missions and accompanying SEAL Task Unit Bruiser on nearly every major operation of the Battle of Ramadi.Dave was the only Marine selected to fly the F-22 and became the first operational pilot qualified in the F-35B, later commanding the Marine Corps' first F-35 squadron. He holds a Master's in International Public Policy and an MBA from Johns Hopkins University.After retiring, Dave joined Echelon Front, bringing deep experience in combat leadership, decision-making, risk mitigation, and building high-performance teams.A Special Thanks to Our Sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

We reminisce about our journey at the Hyatt Regency DFW, where Rahim began working in security after leaving government work and transitioned into Human Resources—thanks, in part, to his unstoppable drive and the support of key mentors and connectors. Rahim shares how a chance encounter at a Taco Bueno drive-thru opened doors to the hospitality industry and ultimately to a fulfilling career as Director of Human Resources.But this episode isn't just about career moves. It's a heartfelt exploration of what it means to give freely, the challenges of family and friendship, and the importance of making clear, actionable requests for support. Rahim opens up about receiving difficult health news, how he leaned on connections outside of family, and why he believes in paying kindness forward—always “plus one.” If you've ever struggled with how to create genuine bonds or wondered why giving matters, you'll find wisdom, warmth, and practical takeaways in our conversation.Watch This If:You're looking to deepen your relationships and create a circle of genuine connectionsYou want inspiration for overcoming career roadblocks or changing industriesYou struggle with asking for support from friends or familyYou're seeking motivation to help others and “pay it forward”You value transparency and authenticity in both personal and professional circlesEpisode Highlights:[00:01:07] Rahim shares the story of starting at Hyatt in security and the hurdles he faced transitioning into HR[00:04:06] The heart behind Rahim's “gate opener” mentality: why he's committed to lifting others up[00:07:18] From flipping tacos to hospitality: the chance encounter that changed Rahim's career direction[00:13:31] What Rahim looks for when connecting people to opportunities—and how Valerie does the same[00:21:20] Rahim's candid advice to his children (and listeners): how to choose and define true friendships[00:24:22] Navigating tough times: Rahim opens up about his cancer diagnosis and which connections supported him most[00:45:46] Valerie and Rahim discuss the importance of making explicit requests to get your needs metQuotes to Remember:“In order to receive a blessing... you've got to give one, if not more.” —Rahim Saafir“Once you establish a genuine connection with someone, it's there... even if you only talk two or three times a year.” —Rahim Saafir“Be very careful who you have in your circle and call friend...

René Schwarzgruber is a Relationship Coach, Facilitated Breath Repatterning Practitioner, and Co-Founder of "ReallyAlign". Growing up in a small town in Austria, Rene initially followed the traditional western path, building a career in banking, yet deep down he knew that there was something more for him... In his mid-20's, he took a leap of faith, leaving behind his stable life, moving to Norway with his then partner, and beginning to travel. His journey led him to co-found "Life is a Beach Party", where he spent over a decade creating experiences for 1000's of young travelers across the globe. Over the years, René began to wake up to the hidden costs of the life he had built, acknowledging how he'd been defined by the chase for pleasure, validation, and approval, and the avoidance of responsibility and discomfort...Eventually, life began to knock on his door through numerous challenges, calling him into deeper maturity and out of the frame of boy psychology that had, in many ways, been dictating his life. This time of introspection, led him down a journey of discovery, healing, embodiment, and emotional awareness. Eventually, his journey brought him to Bali, where I met him back in 2023 as he stepped into the same Breathwork Facilitator Training I had completed a few years prior... Through this work and his personal breakthroughs, René stepped into a new purpose of supporting others through embodied coaching, and breathwork.This calling led him to step out of his travel company and birth his current venture, "ReallyAlign", a company dedicated to helping entrepreneurs release stress, reconnect with themselves, and step into deeper alignment. René and I reconnected again a few months ago, unexpectedly sharing some raw truths about our first interactions with each other. This led to a powerful discussion, unpacking the conditioned beliefs we both still carried, the fears that still existed, and through that rawness, confirming the values that we both hold so dear: being solid, integrated men, cultivating meaningful relationships, and supporting others to step out from behind the masks of everyday life into deeper alignment. This led me to want to invite him on the show, and this conversation surely didn't dissapoint, where you'll discover:What it takes to move beyond unhealthy competition and learning to celebrate the success of othersThe hidden motives behind his early drive to build a party company, and the deeper growth it led him towardThe importance of failing fast and embracing discomfort as a path to growthRené's personal journey of forgiving his mother and transforming his relationship with herHow he moved from “boy psychology” to embodied, mature masculinityWhat he's learned about provision, leadership, and the role of being a man in modern relationshipsWhy breathwork has become his life's work, and, in his words, one of the most powerful tools for transformation he's ever experiencedWhy so many modern relationships break downThis was an inspiring conversation with a man I consider a growing friend, and I hope you enjoy this raw and honest exchange.—Connect with Alex Lehmann:

Every human has core emotional needs. They are as essential as air and water. Yet so often, we convince ourselves they don't matter—that we'll be fine if they're not met, or that they don't even exist. The more we deny our emotional needs, the more disconnected and dissatisfied we feel. Ignoring them leaves us out of alignment with ourselves and unable to feel whole.In this episode, I explore what's lacking in the world of self-help, personal development, and even coaching: a genuine understanding of our emotional needs. This missing piece explains why so many people seeking growth and making real change in their lives still find themselves feeling a little bit empty inside. Today, you'll hear why identifying and tending to your emotional needs can make a profound difference in your journey, and the reason why we're so quick to ignore them in the first place.Learning to recognize and honor your emotional needs is essential for lasting transformation. At this level of self-knowing, my clients feel more confident, more trusting of themselves, and more grounded in their decisions. They lead their lives and businesses with clarity, and for coaches, it allows them to guide others through the same powerful process.Your emotional needs are not a weakness, but a gateway to self-knowing and true wholeness. When you pay attention and treat them as essential, you begin to fill the cracks in your foundation and build a life that feels full, grounded, and aligned with your purpose.What you'll learn:Why unmet emotional needs create feelings of emptiness and disconnectionHow mindset work can unintentionally cause us to minimize our emotional needsThe difference between self-responsibility and isolation when it comes to meeting your emotional needsWhy taking ownership of your emotional needs also means allowing connection and support from othersThe core emotional needs we have as humans and practical ways to begin understanding and tending to themYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireGet the book: She Rises: Insights and Wisdom from the Women of The Masterful Coach CollectiveMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

Ep #91: The Power of Intentional Community Building with Lindsey LernerSummary of the EpisodeHey friends! In this episode, I'm talking with Lindsey Lerner community builder, photographer, and creative strategist who's all about shaking things up. Lindsey calls herself “allergic to the status quo,” and once you hear her talk, you'll totally get why.Her project, Field Notes from the Work in the Wild, captures people in those quiet, in-between moments before the big break, before the outcome when they're just doing the work and figuring things out. We talked about how capitalism affects the way we see value, what it really means to build community that matters, and how slowing down to notice the “messy middle” can actually be where the magic lives.This one's full of heart, honesty, and a few mic-drop moments. I promise it'll have you thinking about creativity, care, and community in a whole new way.Topics We Got IntoWhat intentional community building really looks like (and what it's not)How capitalism shapes the way we value ourselves and othersThe inspiration behind Field Notes from the Work in the WildOwning your power and agency in work and lifeThe difference between having an audience, fans, and a true communityCuriosity and vulnerability as creative superpowersWhat it means to be “allergic to the status quo”TakeawaysYou have more power and agency than you might think use it with intention.A real community isn't just followers or fans it's about connection, care, and reciprocity.The in-between moments matter. That's where growth, creativity, and clarity show up.It's okay to question the systems you're in and to define value on your own terms.You're allowed to be more than one thing artist, dreamer, strategist, whatever lights you up.Don't skip the messy middle it's where the good stuff happens.Chapters:• 00:07 - Introducing Lindsay Lerner• 01:10 - Navigating Personal Power and Community Values• 15:32 - Understanding Community vs. Audience• 18:25 - The Evolution of Community in the Digital Age• 32:32 - Stepping Into Your Element• 37:41 - The Concept of Portfolio Careers• 45:24 - Creative Retreat PlanningAll About Lindsey:Lindsey Lerner is a photographer, interviewer, and strategist reshaping how we witness work, identity, and belonging. Through her project Field Notes from the Work (and the Wild), she captures people in their element — before the performance, before the polished story, before the world takes notice. Her work documents the rituals, questions, and quiet shifts that shape how people show up, offering a new lens on creativity, leadership, and meaningful change.Lindsey speaks on the power of being fully seen, the stories we overlook, and how honoring the work behind the work transforms the way we build, connect, and live.Noteworthy quotes from Lindsey“You do have a sense of power and agency if you want to take accountability for the work you're doing day to day.”“When you have a community, there's actual relationship. It's not one way — it's connection, it's care, it's reciprocity.”“It's not about reinventing yourself — it's about riding the waves and listening to what's real right now.”Connect with Lindsey LernerInstagram: @lindseylernerWebsite: https://www.lindseylerner.com/Connect & Stay...

Get ready for one of my famous Hard Conversations... We all do it — try to control the things and people around us instead of looking inward. But real freedom doesn't come from managing the world outside of us; it comes from taking responsibility for the world within.In this episode, we explore why we resist taking ownership of our thoughts, emotions, and actions, and what's hiding beneath that resistance. You'll learn how to stop trying to control everything around you and start cultivating genuine inner control — the kind that leads to peace, confidence, and self-trust.In this episode:Why we avoid taking responsibility for ourselvesHow control and fear are linkedWhat's really behind the need to control othersThe mindset shift that helps you reclaim your personal powerPractical steps for building self-trust and inner freedomIf this episode resonated, share it with someone who's ready to stop over-controlling their life and start building real self-trust from within.✨ If you loved this episode, send it to a friend who needs to hear it!

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson continue their exploration of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs through the lens of wellness and trauma-informed wholeness. Focusing on esteem, they unpack what it truly means to “appraise” value—both in ourselves and in others—and how unmet needs and trauma can distort our perception of worth and significance.Through rich conversation and powerful metaphors—like Tom's image of humans as uncut diamonds—they reveal how esteem isn't about hierarchy or status, but about mutual recognition of inherent worth. Together, they examine how physiological, safety, and belonging needs act as catalysts for healthy esteem, and how unmet needs can keep us stuck in cycles of comparison, defensiveness, or exclusion.Listeners will come away with deeper insight into:The roots of esteem as appraisal rather than judgmentHow trauma and unmet needs shape our ability to value ourselves and othersThe difference between worth, significance, and accomplishmentHow to move from sympathetic fight-or-flight into parasympathetic homeostasisPractical reflection prompts for fostering self-worth and mutual significanceJoin Ruth and Tom as they guide listeners toward restoring homeostasis of esteem, a crucial step in the broader journey toward self-actualization and holistic wellness.

In this week's episode of The Mindfully Masculine Podcast, Charles and Dan dive into Steven Bartlett's most-viewed Diary of a CEO interview — his conversation with Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power.What starts as a look at Greene's ideas on seduction, confidence, and power turns into a bigger exploration of what really drives human behavior. Charles and Dan unpack the tension between authenticity and performance, confidence and insecurity, attraction and manipulation. They discuss the fine line between influence and deceit — and why the word seduction can mean either self-mastery or self-deception, depending on the intent behind it.The conversation also moves beyond power dynamics into addiction, codependence, and vulnerability — including how chasing validation can become its own form of addiction, and why genuine confidence has to be built, not performed.Topics include:Why “seduction” can feel manipulative — and how Greene tries to reframe itThe difference between cultivating attraction and playing gamesPower as self-control vs. control over othersThe role of confidence, competence, and comfort in your own skinMasks, roles, and authenticity in modern lifeHow addiction and codependence mirror our search for controlWhat real strength looks like in relationships and leadershipIf you've ever wondered where healthy confidence ends and manipulation begins, this episode offers a nuanced take on the psychology of power, presence, and connection.Listen, follow, and share The Mindfully Masculine Podcast wherever you get your podcasts, and visit mindfullymasculine.com for more.Support the show

The model separates performance from personal worth, promoting honor over shame.

Rebecca talks about intrinsic motivation, its roots in neuroscience, and how leaders can foster a safe environment for their teams. Rebecca offers practical advice on affirming human value, not just performance, and avoiding burnout by recognizing when high achievers are pushed too far.In this episode, you'll learn:How to distinguish between honor and shame in leadershipWhy worth isn't tied to performance and how to affirm this for yourself and othersThe impact of separating identity from results to encourage creativity and collaborationThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:04) The Humanity Quadrant(04:55) Defining worth, value, and honor(09:16) Exploring the Humanity Quadrant(10:12) Handling mistakes with honor(14:43) Celebrating success with honor(21:46) The dangers of shame in the workplace(26:27) The trap of constant striving(31:52) Reflection questionsConnect with Rebecca:https://www.rebeccafleetwoodhession.com/
