I love building AI tools. But I'm worried we're forgetting how to connect on a human level.This episode is about presence, encounter, and why most leaders never practice the skill that matters most.THE 20:20:20 RULE (from Jacob Barnes / Simple Revolution):First 20 steps: How you enter the room. Bernhard practices his keynote entrances—wooden floor? Squeaky? How does it sound? Enter with full presence.First 20 seconds: NOT about talking. Taking in the room. Creating the bond. Finding 3-5 people to "play the room."First 20 words: Know them by memory. "If I wake you at 3am and say 'start your keynote,' you need to be able to say them." Everything else flows from there.YALOM'S WISDOM:Irvin Yalom (existential therapist, fiction writer—"When Nietzsche Wept," "The Schopenhauer Cure"):"The act of revealing oneself fully to another and still being accepted may be the major vehicle of therapeutic help."Not fixing. Not solving. Just creating space where someone can reveal themselves. And that takes practice.THE POWER OF SILENCE:Bernhard shares a coaching breakthrough: The client couldn't make business decisions. Brilliant at pros/cons lists. Would create 4th and 5th options rather than deciding.The silence revealed: Fear. Fear of not being accepted. Fear of not being enough."Suddenly, the silence brought us to the core."JAPANESE WISDOM FOR COUPLES:When in disagreement, sit for 3 minutes and look each other in the eye, then start discussing."Like eternity. Really difficult. But fantastic."THE VIKTOR NOVÁK SCENARIO:Imagine giving feedback to Viktor—52, Czech, 9 years at an NGO. Blocking grant applications. Missing deadlines. Paralyzed by fear.What you don't know: Wife chronically ill for 3 years. Daughter in university. Supporting an aging mother. Can't afford to lose this job.When he asks, anxious, "Am I in trouble?"—can you hold that moment? Can you stay present when he's terrified?Most leaders can't. Because they've never practiced.WHAT PRESENCE LOOKS LIKE:Specific evidence, not judgment: "3 applications pending 4 months" NOT "You're risk-averse"Impact without blame: "When applications stall, partners lose trust," NOT "You're hurting the mission."Create space: "What's been happening for you?" Actually listen.Hold the discomfort: Stay present when they're afraid.THE PRACTICE GAP:Musicians practice before stage. Olympic athletes train before competition. Pilots simulate emergencies.Leaders? We wing the difficult conversations.WHY ROLEPLAYS.AI:Practice Viktor's anxiety. His defensive excuses. The moment you have to balance safety and accountability.Not because the AI conversation is the destination. But because when you're with the REAL Viktor, you're ready to be present.THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE:One conversation. Practice presence.20:20:20 before you enterHold silence when they're uncomfortableDon't rush to fix. Just be there.Try the Viktor scenario FREE at www.roleplays.aiRemember: The practice prepares you. The real conversation is still yours.ALSO MENTIONED:Bernhard's "Private University" was built on Claude (AI)EU requirement: AI training for all employees who use AILou Salomé (Freud's muse, Rodin's muse—"probably inspired Freud for psychotherapy")Graz keynote: 2 minutes of silent eye contact = "most uncomfortable situation ever"#Presence #Leadership #Coaching #DifficultConversations #Yalom #Practice

In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn welcome guest Tim D to the coffee shop for a raw exploration of recovery titled "No Longer Paralyzed—healing through ‘help.'" The trio dives into the defining habits of alcoholism and the realization that while habits drive us, we have the power to shift from cycles of negativity to victories. They reflect on the "box" of addiction that once kept them paralyzed and why the simple, repeated action of attending meetings remains a vital lifeline. Key Discussion Points:The Power of Help: Challenging the stigma of reaching out, the group discusses why asking for help is a "superpower" and the essential act of "ripping off the mask" to find clarity.Action Over Impulse: A deep look at why we often don't "feel" like doing the right thing, but choose to do it anyway to maintain the gift of sobriety.New Beginnings: How new members energize the program by reminding veterans of where they came from, reinforcing that most don't have "another relapse" in them.Responsibility in a Troubling World: Navigating a society filled with conflicting opinions by focusing on personal responsibility and being "aware" enough to choose life over a drink. “I walk the sober path of recovery intensely and reap rewards beyond imagination... If I can help one individual toward sober success, my purpose has been fulfilled.”ABOUT US - Sober Coffee

February 27th melodic hard rock supergroup Black Swan will release their third album "Paralyzed" via Frontiers Music and vocalist Robin McAuley returns to talk about the new effort as well as his upcoming gigs with Michael Schenker.

You are not an orphan left to figure out this life alone; you are a beloved heir of the King with full access to His compassion and care. Through the "Great Exchange," Jesus took the "F" of our sin and failure and credited us with His perfect "A+," providing the only lasting cure for a paralyzed heart: true peace with the Father.

Robin McAuley Talks Paralyzed, the New Black Swan Album, on RadioBypassRobin McAuley joins RadioBypass for an in-depth conversation about Paralyzed, the upcoming third album from Black Swan, set for release on February 27, 2026. Known for his unmistakable voice and commitment to powerful, melodic rock, Robin offers insight into how the new record came together and why it represents an important chapter for the band.During our discussion, we explore the songwriting and recording process behind Paralyzed, where some of the album's lyrics originated, and how the band approached making a record that feels authentic, focused, and emotionally connected. Rather than chasing trends, the emphasis was on strong songs, honest performances, and music that rewards repeat listening.Robin also shares what he hopes fans will take away from Paralyzed — not just individual tracks, but the overall experience and meaning behind the music. The conversation then turns to the future, including the possibility of Black Swan performing live and Robin's plans for solo live shows later this year.To close out the interview, we play the title track from Paralyzed, giving listeners a first taste of the power and passion behind the new Black Swan album.RadioBypass — Rock and Roll that DESERVES to be heard.

Robert Paylor is a former collegiate rugby standout whose life changed in an instant during a national championship match. A spinal cord injury left him paralyzed from the neck down, and doctors told him he would never walk again. He has since defied the odds: walking again, building a family, graduating from UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and becoming a sought-after speaker and author featured in Sports Illustrated and People. Today, Robert shares what it means to lose everything you thought your life would be, how mindset becomes a lifeline when circumstances feel unbearable, and why forgiveness, faith, and gratitude can be the difference between surviving and truly living. He opens up about the moment doctors delivered a devastating prognosis, the long and painful road of rehabilitation, and the inner work required to release anger and choose hope, even when it feels undeserved or impossible. My friends, if you're carrying disappointment, grief, anger, or fear about a future that doesn't look the way you planned, this conversation is for you. You'll leave with practical mental tools to face what feels paralyzing in your own life, a renewed sense of perspective, and a reminder that you are not broken, and you are not done.

Introduction Expressing gratitude and acknowledging a shift in the intended message. Originally planned to preach from scriptures. Felt divinely led to share a personal experience and message. Overcoming Paralysis Through Faith Sharing a personal experience of paralysis and recovery. Paralyzed from the neck down for nine months. Doctors predicted permanent paralysis. Experienced divine intervention and regained mobility. Able to walk and use arms again. God’s Purpose in Suffering God communicated a purpose during paralysis: to preach. Emphasizing that God has a purpose regardless of physical condition. Whether on a bike, in a wheelchair, or on the phone. Importance of obedience to God’s will. Striving for perfection and following God’s guidance. The Nature of Faith and Trust Acknowledging the universality of worry and doubt. Everyone experiences worry at some point. Worry leads to doubting faith. People often try to handle problems independently. Defining faith and trust from a pocket Bible dictionary. Faith: Belief and confidence in the testimony of another, especially God’s promise of salvation and eternal life through Jesus. Highlighting the importance of trust. Trust: Putting confidence in a person or thing; God’s name and words are worthy of trust. Emphasizing total confidence in God. Relying on God’s Understanding Admonition to not lean on one’s own understanding. Personal admission of making mistakes when relying on self. Decision to follow God’s guidance without looking back. Overcoming shyness and discomfort with public speaking. God’s Purpose for Everyone God has a purpose for every individual. Challenging the notion that all roles in the church are filled. There is always work to be done for God. Suggesting that a lack of need indicates the Lord’s return. Hebrews 11:6 and the Importance of Faith Reading and emphasizing Hebrews 11:6. “Without faith it is impossible to please him.” Belief in God and His ability to do all things. Faith and Overcoming Obstacles Faith can move mountains with God’s help. Necessity of work and effort alongside faith. Using the analogy of digging with a shovel. God wants people to work and trust in Him. The Story of Doubting Thomas Paraphrasing and reading from Matthew 20:24 about Doubting Thomas. Thomas’s disbelief in Jesus’s resurrection without physical proof. Thomas wanted to see the nail prints and touch Jesus’ side. Personal Testimony of Faith Without Seeing Never seen Jesus face-to-face but has heard His voice. Belief in the Bible’s promise of seeing Jesus one day. Knowing Jesus before meeting Him physically. Experiencing Christ’s Call Describing the unique experience of hearing Christ’s voice. Recalling the moment of conviction before turning life over to God. Hearing “Tony!” while driving and immediately stopping to pray. Transformation and commitment to following God. The Better Life with God Life is better with God, despite not being perfect. Earth is not our permanent home; heaven is the ultimate destination. Heaven and Hell Addressing the reality of hell, which many preachers avoid. Critique of churches focused on superficial aspects. Latte bars and donut shops instead of spiritual depth. Holding the Original Promise Christ holds the key to the gates of heaven. The Uncertainty of Life and the Need to Be Ready The day of birth is also the day one could die. The Bible instructs to always be ready. Need to be ready always. Avoiding Complacency Worrying about forgetting to thank God for blessings. The importance of praying without ceasing. Starting the day with gratitude to God. Thankfulness for blessings and answered prayers. Faith as Essential None of the above is good without faith. Hebrews 20:13 and the Desire for a Heavenly Country Reading from Hebrews 20:13 about dying in faith and seeking a better country. Confessing to being strangers and pilgrims on earth. Desiring a heavenly country prepared by God. Belief in Heaven Asking if the audience believes God has prepared a place in heaven. Maintaining faith and trust in God to reach that place. The Choice Between Heaven and Hell It is not God’s intention for anyone to stay on earth permanently. The choice between dying and going to hell or dying and living forever. The soul will lift up after the body is gone. Scripture says, absent from the body, present in the Lord. Readiness for Home Expressing readiness to go home to heaven. Looking forward to seeing Jesus, family, and friends. Meeting Jesus Jesus will come to get believers and lead them across the river. Envisioning this to overcome life’s turmoil. Envisioning seeing Jesus helps with burdens and trials. Paul’s Thorn and God’s Grace Paul’s prayer to remove a thorn in his side. The nature of the thorn is unknown, possibly cancer. God’s response: “My grace is sufficient.” The Power of Grace and Faith Seeking grace and keeping trust in God. The devil cannot overcome those with faith and grace. The Devil’s Attacks The devil attacks those who step up and do something for God. Experiencing increased challenges after answering God’s call. Maintaining Composure Through Faith Letting go of anger and trusting God to handle situations. God will take care of and get us through any situation. Repentance Striving daily and acknowledging imperfections. God provided repentance at Calvary. The need for daily repentance. Avoiding Frustration Avoiding frustration, especially while driving. Letting others pass and trusting in God’s protection. Life is going by fast enough. Final Thoughts and Admonitions Pray with faith. Seek Him daily. Be obedient to what God reveals to your own heart. Not what God reveals to others. Focusing on personal obedience avoids being a busybody. Mind Your Business Avoid being in everyone else’s business. Checking on sick or needy brothers and sisters is different. Judging others is being too busy. Focus on personal problems and self-improvement. Expect His Reward Trust God for peace, direction, healing, provisions, and understanding. Always according to His will and timing. Don’t Forget Him Leave it with God. Don’t try to take care of God. Trust, don’t just perform rituals or works. God is pleased by genuine faith and a surrendered heart. Everyone needs to get out of here talking to the Lord. Not just the preacher. Testimony Every child of God has a testimony. Sharing testimonies can touch the world. Those who have been saved have a testimony. God’s Grace Saved by God’s amazing grace, undeservedly. Name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. A merciful God who saves by grace. Feeling God’s Presence The great feeling of feeling God’s loving arms. Being lifted up in prayer. The Power of Faith A mustard seed can spread and grow. Faith will get stronger and mightier. God’s Presence in the Church God is here to meet needs. Contrast between churches with a cold feeling and those filled with the Spirit. The importance of letting God run a mince between all of us. Spirit-Filled Churches Spirit-filled churches allow people to shout and express joy. Avoiding long-windedness and focusing on God’s presence. Being on God’s side, not one’s own. Taking as much time as God wants. Needing more people to get that way for more blessings and joy. Praising God It’s impossible to please God. Wondering if we’re pleasing Him.

As we continue in our series “Mark: God on the Move,” Pastor Bob explore Mark 2:1-12, emphasizing the importance of Jesus' presence in our lives, the healing power of faith, and the necessity of forgiveness for our greatest needs.

Her application was impressive. Almost intimidatingly so. Fifteen courses completed on SEO, email marketing, course creation, Pinterest strategy, Facebook ads, webinar funnels. Two high-ticket coaching programs. Certifications in digital marketing. Her website was beautiful. Professionally designed, strategically structured.And then this line: "I've made maybe $2,000 total from my blog in three years. Most months I make nothing. I know everything I'm supposed to do but I can't seem to actually do it consistently. I think I might be broken."She wasn't broken. She was overeducated and underexecuting. And that combination, it turns out, is one of the most expensive ways to stay stuck.If the previous episode, "From 43 Email Subscribers to Her First $2,000 Blog Launch," was for the determined beginner who doesn't know where to start, this episode is for the opposite. For the blogger who's started a hundred times. Who's learned everything. Who could write the blogging course herself but somehow can't build the business.This is the story of what happened when she finally stopped learning and started building.In this episode:Where she started: → 15 blogging courses completed over three years → $12,000 spent on courses, coaching programs, and educational resources → Beautiful website, strategic structure, compelling copy → $2,000 total blog income in three years (most months: $0) → Six half-finished digital product ideas, none for sale → Email sequences started five times, never finished past email three → Convinced she was fundamentally brokenThe pattern that was keeping her broke: → Monday: Fresh goals, new optimism, plans to finally finish the email sequence → Tuesday: New strategy catches her attention, seems better than current approach → Wednesday: Deep in a YouTube rabbit hole about the new thing, taking notes → Friday: Nothing finished, familiar guilt and confusion → Repeat for three yearsWhy knowledge was actually her problem: → 15 different email templates from 15 courses competing in her head every time she wrote → 17 different content strategies making every blog post feel impossibly complex → Paralyzed by options because she could see all the ways everything could be done → Learning had become a sophisticated self-protection mechanism against the vulnerability of executionWhat we did together:The first decision: "You need to stop learning. Completely. For at least three months."The triage: → Audited everything she had: half-finished products, abandoned systems, scattered ideas → Cut six potential offers down to one → Archived three years of "someday" content ideas → Stripped the business to essentials: one lead magnet, one welcome sequence, one offer, one traffic sourceThe building: → Sales page written in 4 hours (she'd been stuck on it for over a year) → 6-email launch sequence created and polished → Funnel fixed and connected so everything actually worked as a system → Complete system built in 6 weeks (she'd been trying for 3 years)The launch: → First sale: 4 hours after pressing send → By end of launch week: 14 sales at $147 = $2,058 → More revenue in one week than the previous three years combinedHer words:"I've been preparing for this for three years. Three years of learning how to do this exact thing. And it took six weeks of actually building with you to make it happen. All that time, I thought I needed to know more. I didn't need to know more. I needed to do more. But I couldn't do more alone.""I finally understand what I was doing wrong. I thought the problem was that I hadn't found the right strategy yet. But there is no perfect approach. There are just approaches that work when you actually execute them. The strategy I'm using now isn't...

When she first reached out to me, her message started with three paragraphs of apology. She apologized for taking my time. She apologized for not being further along with her blog. She apologized for probably being a hopeless case. Before she even told me what she needed, she had already convinced herself she didn't deserve help.That message broke my heart. Because I've seen this pattern so many times. Women who have been trying to make money blogging for years, who have bought every course on email marketing and digital products and content strategy, and who have started to believe their struggle is a character flaw rather than a circumstance.This episode tells one client's complete transformation story. From two years of trying to build a profitable blog alone, to finally getting support, to making her first digital product sale, to launching a $2,000 workshop. It's the story of what happens when a beginner blogger finally gets the clarity, assets, accountability, and momentum she needed all along.If you've been trying to grow your email list, create a lead magnet, or launch your first digital product alone and getting nowhere, her story might change how you see your situation.In this episode:Where she started: → Two years of buying blogging courses she never finished → A blog with 10 sporadic posts and no SEO or content strategy → An email list stuck at 43 subscribers (mostly friends and family) → No lead magnet, no email welcome sequence, no digital products → Paralyzed by conflicting advice about Pinterest, SEO, and email marketing → Convinced she'd never actually make money from her blogWhat was actually happening: → She wasn't incapable. She had a master's degree and genuine expertise. → She was drowning in information about how to start a blog and grow an email list → Every blogging decision branched into more decisions with no guidance → The isolation was killing her content creation and email marketing progress → She didn't need another course. She needed someone to build with her.What we built together:Month 1 - Blog Foundation: → Complete blog roadmap and content strategy → Lead magnet PDF created and designed → Opt-in page copy written for email list growth → 5-email welcome sequence to nurture new subscribers → Email marketing tech setup and integrationsMonth 2 - First Digital Product: → $47 workshop designed and outlined → Sales page copywriting completed → 6-email launch sequence for selling digital products → Launch strategy mapped for her email listMonth 3 - First Blog Income: → Digital product launch executed → First sale at 11:47 AM from a complete stranger → 7 total sales, $329 in first launch revenue → Proof that blogging for money actually worksWhere she is now (6 months later): → Email list grown from 43 to 1,100+ engaged subscribers → Workshop launched 4 times, most recent generating $2,000+ → Building signature online course priced at $297 → Finally making passive income from her blog → Confident, clear, no longer wondering if blogging can work for herHer words:"I made a sale. Someone I've never met just paid me money for something I created. I've been trying to make money blogging for two years and I never actually believed it would happen. But it happened. It's real.""The difference wasn't that I suddenly became capable of building a profitable blog. The difference was that someone showed me exactly what to do and then did the hardest parts with me.""I wasted two years trying to figure out email marketing and digital products by myself. I thought asking for help meant I was admitting I couldn't do it. Now I realize asking for help is how you actually do it."The truth about beginner bloggers who can't get...

Ernie Leon shares a story of survival, violence, and redemption. Growing up in Arizona, Ernie fell into addiction and gang life at a young age, which led to an armed robbery conviction and time in the Arizona prison system. After getting into trouble behind the walls, he was sent to maximum-security prison, where survival became a daily battle. Following his release, tragedy struck when Ernie witnessed his brother get shot and killed, and Ernie himself was shot and paralyzed. Despite everything, he was later sent back to Arizona max prison on another armed robbery case.

When Jesus was trying to preach in Capernaum, the crowd was so thick that so men got their paralyzed friend in front of Jesus by breaking through the roof. Jesus first forgave the man of his sins. That caused the Scribes to think Jesus was declaring He was God. He was! Then He proved it by telling the man to rise, pick up his bed and walk. The greater miracle was the forgiveness of sins. Have you experience it?

Foot Drop Solutions After Stroke Without an AFO: Ken Kerns' “New Way to Walk” (Plus Aphasia Recovery After a 10-Day Coma) Ken Kerns didn't just wake up from a stroke. He woke up from a 10-day medically induced coma after an AVM brain hemorrhage, facing a reality that would shake anyone's identity: right-side paralysis, aphasia, and the exhausting work of rebuilding everyday life from scratch. And then, because stroke recovery loves a twist, one of the nurses kept calling him Frank. That moment might sound funny now, but in the early days of brain injury, it landed like a true identity crisis. Ken would later turn that experience into a book title: Anything But Frank—and into a bigger message that matters for every survivor and caregiver: recovery isn't one problem to solve. It's dozens. And you solve them one by one. This episode covers the full story (AVM, coma, aphasia, purpose). But it also includes something many survivors are actively searching for: foot drop solutions after stroke without an AFO—specifically, a practical tool Ken found that helped reduce falls and made walking feel more natural again. The day everything changed: an AVM hemorrhage at home Ken's stroke happened early in the COVID era, when work had shifted home and hospitals were under intense strain. He was preparing for a meeting when he went to the bathroom and collapsed. His wife, Carrie, couldn't open the door—he'd fallen behind it. She called emergency services. Ken has no memory of those moments. Like many survivors, he had to rebuild the story from what others told him. What followed was terrifying uncertainty. A neurosurgeon reviewed imaging and initially feared a tumor (Ken had a history of kidney cancer years earlier). Carrie was allowed into the emergency room to say goodbye because it wasn't clear Ken would survive surgery. But in surgery, the cause became clear: an arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The surgeon removed it, and Ken was placed into a medically induced coma for 10 days. Aphasia: when your brain is fast… and your mouth won't cooperate When Ken woke, his deficits were immediate and brutal: Paralyzed on the right side Unable to speak Had to relearn swallowing Severe aphasia that improved over time One of the most honest parts of Ken's story is how confusing aphasia can feel from the inside. Ken described it like this: his cognition is there, answers are forming—yet the “path” to speech is obstructed. “My brain works much faster than my mouth.” “There used to be a direct path… and now that path is worn… covered by weeds.” That metaphor matters because it reframes aphasia as a communication access issue—not a lack of intelligence. Ken found a major turning point through a Minnesota-based communication group: Minnesota Connect Aphasia Now (MNCAN). Practicing weekly conversations (with support from a speech-language pathologist) rebuilt something more than words. It rebuilt confidence. He went from relying on Carrie to order food or check in at airports… to speaking up again in real-world settings. And eventually, he didn't just participate—he stepped into leadership and became president of the board. If you're living with aphasia, this is one of the most powerful “hidden wins” in recovery: you don't have to wait until speech is perfect to start practicing in the world. “Anything But Frank”: identity, emotion, and meaning after stroke In the hospital, a nurse repeatedly called Ken “Frank.” It sounds like a paperwork mistake—but for someone fresh out of coma, it triggered fear and confusion: Did I die? Am I someone else? Who will I FaceTime? When the iPad finally turned around and he saw Carrie, he cried—not from sadness, but relief. Later, Ken's siblings did what siblings do: they turned the story into a running joke. They called him Frank. Ken's response became a line that carried him forward: Call me anything but Frank. That phrase became the title of his book and a symbol of what recovery often is: reclaiming identity while your body and brain renegotiate who you are. Ken also spoke candidly about emotional recovery. In rehab, he felt intense anger—then shifted into a daily question that gave him structure: “Guide my day. Show me the purpose.” Whether you share Ken's faith or not, the takeaway is universal: When recovery feels chaotic, survivors need a meaningful frame to keep going. Foot drop solutions after stroke without an AFO: the “new way to walk” Ken found Foot drop is one of those stroke problems that seems “small” until it isn't. It can quietly steal independence through trips, falls, and fear—especially on stairs, uneven ground, and (in Ken's case) Minnesota snow and ice. Ken described classic foot drop challenges: Difficulty lifting the foot Frequent falls Trouble on the stairs Reduced confidence walking He used an ankle-foot orthotic (AFO), which helped. But later, he discovered a product that—for him—became a workable AFO alternative: Cadence shoes. Ken's experience was specific and practical: The shoe design helped his foot glide during the swing phase Then grip when the weight shifted forward He reported no falls since wearing them He said he no longer needed his AFO He felt stair descent improved because the shoe gripped rather than sliding off the step This is crucial: this isn't “one weird trick.” It's a tool that matched Ken's exact pattern of movement, environment, and needs. If you're exploring foot drop solutions, here's the smart way to use Ken's story: Treat tools as experiments, not guarantees Trial safely (with your physio/OT if possible) Test on the surfaces that actually challenge you (stairs, carpet edges, outdoor paths) Measure results: falls, near-falls, fatigue, confidence, walking speed Ken also used another independence tool: a left-foot accelerator to return to driving while his right ankle remained immobile. That's a reminder that “walking recovery” isn't only rehab—it's also smart adaptation. What to take from Ken's story (even if your stroke was different) Ken's recovery wasn't a straight line. It was many small wins, stacked over time. If you're in the thick of it, consider this simple plan: Name the real problem (not “I'm broken,” but “I trip when my foot drags.”) Practice communication in community (groups like MNCAN show what's possible) Choose tools that reduce risk today (falls steal momentum) Rehearse what matters (Ken practiced speeches until they were automatic) Protect your inputs (Ken avoids depressing “poison” media that drains recovery energy) And if you're a caregiver: the biggest gift is often helping your person keep experimenting—without pressure, without shame, and without rushing the timeline. Keep going with the full episode Ken's “new way to walk” is a valuable segment—but the whole episode is the real promise: AVM stroke recovery, aphasia progress, identity rebuilding, and the meaning that can emerge after trauma.

WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR NATHAN'S STORY Have you heard of Nathan Barkocy? He sent me this about his story:My story begins when I was 16 years old. Top ten in the Nation for competitive road cycling. I would compete in stage races against semi-professionals in their 30's and became the New Mexico State Champion and road race leader for the state. I am still the youngest to ever win the Tour of the Gila in the category which I was competing. January 23 of 2016 was the day it all changed. Being hit by a car at 60 MPH, I was declared dead at the scene. After being in a coma for two weeks, I miraculously opened my eyes. Paralyzed on my left side. I was in the ICU for a month, then I went to Craig Hospital in Denver for two months, where I learned how to live again. A nationally ranked cyclist who had to relearn how to walk, eat, talk, function again. And it only gets better from there. He joins me at 1pm to tell you the rest of it. Find him online and buy his new book here! You know I'm a sucker for an overcoming adversity story.

Every year, an estimated 17,000 Americans suffer spinal cord injuries, many of which permanently alter the course of their lives.. For former collegiate rugby player Rob Paylor, a devastating injury left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Doctors told him he would never walk or move his hands again. But instead of accepting that fate, Paylor chose a different path—one built on perseverance, faith, and a mindset grounded in resilience and purpose.So, how do you rebuild a life after being told you'll never move again and use that journey to help others overcome what paralyzes them?In this episode of Straight Outta Crumpton, host Greg Crumpton sits down with Rob Paylor, former athlete and now author of Paralyzed to Powerful: Lessons from a Quadriplegic's Journey, for a wide-ranging conversation on overcoming adversity, building purpose through pain, and transforming trauma into impact. From rehab setbacks to standing ovations at Intel, Paylor reflects on what it means to move forward—physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and why mindset is the starting point for any lasting recovery.Key Highlights:Redefining Paralysis: Paylor opens his book not with his own story, but with a challenge to the reader: What paralyzes you? He reframes paralysis as fear, stress, or emotional blocks, not just physical injury.Forgiveness Over Rage: Despite never receiving an apology from the player who injured him, Paylor explains why forgiveness was the hardest—but most necessary—mental battle of all.Faith in Action: Paylor shares how faith helped him move from despair to purpose, and how he now uses his story to help others navigate their own defining challenges.Rob Paylor is a former rugby player for UC Berkeley whose spinal cord injury abruptly changed his life during a collegiate championship match. He defied expectations by learning to walk again and has since become a sought-after keynote speaker and author. Paylor holds a degree from the Haas School of Business and has spoken for audiences at TEDx, Intel, and across the country, offering hard-won lessons on resilience, mindset, and hope.

Imagine living across from a graveyard for forty-three years — and slowly realizing your home has become a mirror image of The Amityville Horror. That's the reality Katie faced in Oyster Bay, Long Island, in a story so terrifying it left her with PTSD. At first, the haunting was subtle. Certain rooms in the house carried an oppressive heaviness, so overwhelming that Katie, an empath, could barely enter them without running out. Then came the footsteps — heavy, deliberate, pacing the upstairs hallway night after night. She thought it was her father. He thought it was her. Neither of them were moving. Soon, things escalated. Unplugged electronics. Doors opening. Nights spent downstairs while footsteps thundered up and down the staircase with no one there. But nothing could prepare Katie for the night it revealed itself. After turning off her TV, she rolled over and saw a massive black figure standing in her room — tall, thin, something like a Slender Man cloaked in shadow. Frozen in fear, she cried herself to sleep, only to wake to its growling voice: “GET OUT. I'M GOING TO HURT YOUR SISTER.” Moments later, she heard her sister screaming from the room next door. Paralyzed, unable to scream for help, Katie whispered for her stepmother — a former cop — but no sound came. The terror left her in a trance until she collapsed back into sleep. In the morning, she learned the family dog had been defecating in her room out of fear, and her stepmother admitted she'd seen the same dark figure entering Katie's bedroom for years. This is Oyster Bay's real haunting. A story of shadow men, family terror, and a presence that refused to leave. #Amityville #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #ParanormalStories #HauntedHouse #ShadowMan #OysterBay #RealGhostStories #ParanormalActivity #DemonicEncounter Love real ghost stories?
