Do you ever feel like you don't quite fit into the traditional mold—whether in sports, school, or even life? Maybe you've tried the “standard” path but never felt at home, and deep down you wonder if there's something more—something uniquely yours. What if the obstacles you face aren't there to stop you, but to reveal your true strength? And what would it look like to transform those setbacks into a platform for purpose, impact, and leadership?Today's guest, Karsten Williams, embodies that very journey. From humble beginnings to becoming an 11-time American Ninja Warrior national finalist, Karsten has proven that resilience, creativity, and grit can carry you far beyond conventional boundaries. He turned his passion for movement into not only personal success, but also a mission to inspire others through mentorship, leadership, and community.Karsten Williams is an 11-time American Ninja Warrior national finalist, elite coach, and founder of Ninja Project—a movement platform redefining youth fitness and functional entertainment. With over a decade of experience across 50+ ninja gyms and events, he's on a mission to turn everyday people into champions through movement, mindset, and mentorship.What makes Karsten unique is not just his decorated Ninja Warrior career, but his passion for creating spaces where belonging meets possibility. He's leading a new generation to see obstacles not as limitations, but as opportunities to grow stronger, more confident, and more resilient. His story reminds us that failure isn't the end—it's the very foundation of greatness.Quotes:"Always stay true to you, don't compare yourself, and don't try to do what others can do. They might have a unique skill set that I don't necessarily have.""I want to create a space for those people that feel like they're maybe underserved, can come in and have their own experience, and have someone that can love on them, pour into them, encourage them, and it's a win for everybody.""When you do get to the top or experience that success, it's that much more meaningful and impactful because you know what the bottom feels like."Actionable Takeaways:Turn failure into fuel. Ask yourself: Where have I let a setback define me instead of refine me? Write down one failure you've experienced and list three lessons you gained from it.Run your own race. Don't copy someone else's path. Identify one area of life where you've been comparing yourself to others—then outline one action that reflects your strengths and style instead.Redefine obstacles. Each challenge is an opportunity to grow. This week, reframe a personal or professional obstacle by writing how it could actually serve as preparation for a future win.Create belonging for others. Who in your circle feels “on the outside” or like they don't have a place? Reach out and invite them into an activity, group, or conversation that builds connection.Pursue impact, not just success. Ask: If I keep going the way I am, what legacy will I leave behind? Journal about one way you can shift your daily habits from self-focus to serving others.Conclusion:Karsten's journey reminds us that obstacles aren't roadblocks—they're invitations to grow stronger, wiser, and more resilient. From crashing on his very first Ninja Warrior course to becoming an 11-time national finalist and mentor to thousands, he proves that success is built on perseverance, humility, and the courage to run your own race. His story challenges us to see every setback as a setup for impact—and to pursue a life that inspires others to rise above their own obstacles.

Are you stuck trying to figure out your next move? Maybe you've got the talent, the passion, and even the drive—but you're wrestling with doubt, outside pressure, or the fear of failure. What if the real problem isn't the obstacles in front of you, but the mindset you carry into the fight? What would it look like to bet on yourself fully—no plan B, no safety net—and actually win?Today's guest, Greg Siewers, knows that battle better than most. Known to many as the Michael Jordan of paintball, Greg turned an obsession he discovered at age nine into a professional career that took him around the world, earning multiple world championships and representing Team USA. But Greg's story doesn't stop with sports. He's a serial risk-taker who carried the lessons of elite competition into entrepreneurship—building gyms from scratch, scaling them to six-figure revenues, selling them at a profit, and now launching a supplement brand with the same relentless drive.Greg Siewers is a former World Champion paintball player, multi-gym owner, and now CEO of MAPtrition Supplements. His goal is to simplify fitness and nutrition for all levels as he works toward reaching 1,000,000 people, helping them become healthier, happier, and more dangerous versions of themselves. Known as the Michael Jordan of paintball by fans of the sport, Greg has translated the mindset of elite competition into entrepreneurship—building gyms, scaling them to six-figure revenues, selling them for profit, and now creating a supplement brand rooted in integrity and performance.What makes Greg unique isn't just his achievements—it's the way he translates the high-pressure mindset of world-class athletics into the everyday grind of business and life. He knows what it means to silence doubt, push past resistance, and take risks others wouldn't dare to try. And in this conversation, he shares exactly how you can apply those same principles to your own journey—whether you're building a business, chasing a dream, or simply trying to lead yourself and others with confidence.Quotes:"If I just keep trying. As miserable as it is, it's okay if it's miserable, but if I keep trying, it'll work." "There was no plan B. If everything burned to the ground, I'm so able and willing to work hard to build it again that it won't matter." "No one can teach you that. So the fact that you failed and are willing to do it again, you now have a stack of undeniable proof that you are willing and able to do that thing." Actionable Takeaways:Bet on yourself with no plan B. Ask: If I stripped away the safety nets, would I still go all in? Write down one area of your life where you've been holding back out of fear—and commit to a decisive action this week.Focus on the “first 10 seconds.” Like Greg visualized the opening play in paintball, break down your next big challenge into the smallest first step. What's the single action that will get you moving forward today?Reframe failure. Instead of asking, What if I fail? ask, What would I learn if I failed—and how would I rebuild? Journal through both the worst-case and best-case outcomes of a risk you're considering.Surround yourself with A-players. Evaluate your circle—are the people closest to you challenging you to grow, or are you the smartest person in the room? Commit to connecting with one mentor, peer, or network that's operating at the next level.Choose purpose over noise. Identify the “signal” that actually drives your goals and cut one distraction this week—whether it's chasing trends, busywork, or other people's opinions.Conclusion:Greg's journey proves that greatness isn't about avoiding failure—it's about having the courage to step into uncertainty, commit fully, and outlast everyone else. Whether on the paintball field, in the gym, or in business, his story is a reminder that betting on yourself is the most powerful investment you can ever make.

A former professional skier who endured nine knee surgeries and two neck operations, Athena's initial impression of real estate was far from positive—viewing REALTORS as dime-a-dozen salespeople. But a life-changing mentorship and her own unstoppable drive transformed her skepticism into passion. Over the last decade, Athena has risen to become one of Colorado's most trusted and top-performing REALTORS, blending sharp market insight, unmatched negotiation skills, and a creative eye for design that unlocks the true potential of every property. What sets Athena apart isn't just her professional expertise —it's her remarkable story of resilience. After being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, Athena faced debilitating challenges that could have ended her career. Instead, she turned adversity into her superpower, rebuilding her business with even greater focus and purpose. Today, Athena inspires audiences by sharing hard-won lessons on overcoming setbacks, building a relationship-driven business, and leveraging real estate as a tool for financial freedom. Whether mentoring agents, guiding buyers and investors, or captivating podcast listeners, Athena's authenticity, innovative strategies, and commitment to empowering others make her an unforgettable voice in both real estate and personal development.   https://athenabrownsonrealtor.com/   To learn more about Jen Josey, visit https://www.therealjenjosey.com/ To join REIGN, visit https://www.reignmastermind.com/ Stuff Jen Josey Loves: https://www.reignmastermind.com/resources Buy Jen Josey's Book: From Beginner to Badass: https://a.co/d/bstKlby Interested in growing your rental portfolio with Jen as your coach?

Send us a textEd Latimore is a best-selling author, former professional heavyweight boxer, and competitive chess player. His writing focuses on self-improvement and a practical approach to stoic philosophy.-Quick Episode Summary:Ed Latimore discusses resilience, self-improvement, boxing, and overcoming adversity.-Key takeaways include:Resilience is built by confronting hardship, not avoiding it. Ed's perspective that “we don't grow despite the storms, we grow because of the storms” hits home. Embracing discomfort is what forges real strength—both physically and mentally.Respect trumps being liked. Ed reflects on the difference between respect and popularity, highlighting that true relationship capital is earned by standing for something, not just blending in. “Respect is an investment—you get back what you put in.”Mastering the basics and building structure beats chasing instant gratification. Ed credits his progress (from boxing to math to writing) to focusing relentlessly on fundamentals, taking handwritten notes, and setting clear goals—not shortcuts or distractions.-Time Codes:00:00 Content Fatherhood Reflections04:53 "Experience and Freedom in Fighting"07:24 "Gratitude for Acknowledgment in 'Atomic Habits'"12:50 Exercise: Powerful Antidepressant14:15 Writing a Book: Challenges and Control17:02 Chasing Approval vs. Earning Respect22:11 Embracing Detachment: Comedy Over Tragedy24:10 "Change Environment, Break the Cycle"27:20 Childhood Struggles: Psychological and Physical32:58 "Patience with Rescue Animals"34:19 Mastering Basics Amidst Distractions37:27 "Why I Prefer Physical Books"42:37 Writing for Growth and Feedback44:02 Grit: Persistence and Improvement49:19 Thanking Myself: A Personal Reflection53:20 Recording Audiobook Challenges56:24 "Passing the Torch: Self-Acceptance"57:18 Promote Podcast EngagementConnect with Passing The Torch: Facebook and IG: @torchmartin More Amazing Stories: Episode 41: Lee Ellis – Freeing You From Bond That Make You InsecureEpisode 49: Ryan Hawk – Crafting a Legacy of LeadershipEpisode 52: Riley Tejcek – Mission of Empowerment and Endurance

Norwegian filmmaker Audun Amundsen, director of Click the Link Below, which premiered at Doc Edge in Auckland, follows online gurus like Akbar Sheikh and Tai Lopez to show how engagement algorithms reward extremes and blur value with hype. Audun traces an unlikely path from renewable energy engineer and backpacker to documentarian, surviving a stroke at 23 before returning to Indonesia that resulted in his previous documentary Newtopia, a 15-year chronicle of a community's shift from barter to money, with a focus on human nature over gloss. He also cites his earlier feature Help! I've Gone Viral, plus inspirations like Juan Carlos Rulfo's In the Pit and Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Audun champions smart self-distribution, keeping VOD rights and building film funnels, and urges filmmakers to research financial backers, lead with value, and market your film as thoughtfully as you shoot.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

It's not that hard to kill a planet. All it takes is a little drilling, some mining, a generous helping of pollution and voila! Earth over. When you take stock of what's left, it starts to look like a crime scene: decapitated mountains, poisoned rivers, oil-soaked pelicans, maybe a sun-bleached cow skull in a dried-up lake bed. The only thing missing is yellow caution tape. On each episode of Lawless Planet, host Zach Goldbaum reveals the scams, murders and cover-ups on the frontline of the climate crisis, and the life and death choices people are making to either protect our world – or destroy it.Listen to Lawless Planet: Wondery.fm/LawlessPlanetSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
