As 2026 gets underway, Nicole Brown is joined by performance coach Aoife Leggett of 360 Coaching to explore how riders, professionals and passionate amateurs alike can make the most of the Year of the Horse. Drawing on her experience in elite yards, corporate environments and performance psychology, Aoife shares practical tools to help listeners build clarity, protect their energy and lead themselves with intention in a demanding sport. This episode is all about aligning ambition with sustainability and learning how to illuminate and inspire, rather than running on empty. In this episode, we cover: The Year of the Horse: what it means for equestrians Aoife explains why 2026 is known as the Year of the Fire Horse and what that represents in terms of momentum, courage and opportunity. The conversation explores the fine line between powerful forward energy and burnout, and how riders can channel this year in a way that supports long-term success. Pillar one: clarity Nicole and Aoife discuss why so many riders lose sight of why they started and how comparison, pressure and social media can cloud decision-making. Aoife shares how reconnecting with your own values, mindset and definition of success can bring focus back to both riding and life more broadly. Pillar two: energy The equestrian world is notorious for long hours and relentless schedules. Aoife breaks down why fatigue is so common and how small, realistic changes can make a big difference. From sleep and recovery to identifying what genuinely gives you energy, this section focuses on sustainability without drastic life changes. Pillar three: leadership Leadership isn't just about running a yard or managing a team. Aoife explains why it starts with how you lead yourself, the habits you keep and the standards you hold in private. Creating positive culture, whether at home, in a professional setup or with a small support team, plays a huge role in performance and wellbeing. Goals, habits and identity Big goals can be motivating, but only if they're backed up by meaningful processes. Aoife talks about the importance of milestones, identity-based habits and narrowing your focus so progress feels achievable and rewarding rather than overwhelming. Breathwork for riders Aoife introduces breathwork as a practical tool for calming nerves, improving focus and managing pressure. She shares a simple breathing exercise that listeners can use anywhere, and explains why breathwork has become a staple for elite athletes across many sports.

In this deeply personal and reflective episode of Personal Mastery Training, the Alliance gathers to close out a challenging 2025. For host Alvin Brown, this year brought the profound loss of his 31-year-old son and the show's beloved co-host, Dr. Charlie Cartwright. These events sparked a vital conversation about the concept of "Borrowed Time." We often live under the illusion that we have endless time to chase our dreams, but the reality is that life is unscripted and finite. As we transition into 2026, the question isn't just about what you want to achieve, but how you intend to live the time you have left. This episode is a reminder that life is not a dress rehearsal—it is happening right now. Key Highlights The Reality of Borrowed Time: Every cell in our body is destined for apoptosis (cell death). We are biologically living on borrowed time. Alvin shares that regardless of how healthy or righteous we live, life is unpredictable. We must stop living "lives of quiet desperation" and start playing the music that is inside of us today. One Less Day, Not One More: Brandon shifts the perspective on how we view our calendar. We shouldn't look at tomorrow as just "one more day" added to our lives, but rather as "one less day" remaining in our bank. When you realize the count is going down, not up, you stop sweating the small stuff and start valuing the things that truly matter. Clocked Time vs. Lived Time: Ray introduces a powerful distinction. "Clocked time" is simply existing and punching the clock of life. "Lived time" consists of the rare, special moments that give our lives color and meaning. We need to audit our lives to ensure we aren't just passing time, but actually creating memories. Bring Value to the Hour: Inspired by Jim Rohn, the group discusses that you don't get paid (in money or joy) for the hour; you get paid for the value you bring to the hour. Whether it is in business or relationships, richness comes from how you make people feel and the energy you bring to the interaction. The Privilege of Aging: Getting older is a privilege denied to many. The goal is to age with vibrancy so that when you look back at photos of your life, you see joy and energy at every stage. Be the kind of elder that younger generations want to sit with because you have a life full of stories and wisdom to share. Power Words for 2026: The hosts chose their guiding words for the upcoming year: Alvin: Acceptance (The newly identified 5th Pillar of Mastery). Brandon: Embrace (The opportunities and the moment). Ray: Burn (Let your inner light shine). Final Thoughts As we wrap up this year, take a moment to look at the "season" of life you are in. Are you waiting for permission to be yourself? Are you holding onto baggage that is weighing you down? The Alliance reminds us that the best time to start is today. You cannot dream big enough, so don't let the fear of inadequacy stop you from launching forward. Honor the memory of those who have passed by living your life fully, vibrantly, and without regret. Peace, Love, and Soul.
Closing in on 300 episodes of The Made To Thrive Show, it's been an enriching and empowering journey for me speaking to global experts and health heroes about their fields of expertise. So in honor of the 300 mark, I have put together a masterclass composed of the best insights for each of Made To Thrive's 7 Pillars To Thriving: purpose, community, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-quantification, and environment. Thriving - Pillar by Pillar distills the best of those conversations into one powerful series. Each episode is curated to help you not just understand a specific pillar — but how to take action to live it.This is Medicine 4.0 in action: preventative, proactive, personalized through data, and performance-enhancing. We believe sustainable health begins with awareness, and education is the foundation that transforms how we become aware of ourselves and the actions and habits that create our life. Only when we understand, can we identify both what's holding us back as well as the thriving that's possible. At the root of the word doctor is Latin for teacher. Through the Pillar by Pillar series, I hope each episode becomes a lesson about how to see health and wellness differently, and to empower you to take action, one intentional, educated step at a time.Nutrition What you put on your plate literally fuels every cell in your body, impacting energy, focus, and disease risk. Eating nutrient-dense whole foods supports stable blood sugar, optimal hormone balance, and long-term metabolic health. Nutrition is not a restriction; it's empowerment, giving your body the raw material to thriveFeatured Guests:Dr. Paul ClaytonDr. David PerlmutterDr. Terry WahlsDr. Steven GundryDr. Joan IflandSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Send us a textErnest Hemingway's life was a testament to his belief in living authentically and drawing from rich, personal experience for his writing. His three primary homes in Key West, Havana, and Ketchum were more than just residences; they were essential backdrops and sources of inspiration for his work, each intrinsically linked to his lifestyle and creativity. Unifying these locales, and a symbol of his deep connection to the sea, was his beloved fishing boat, the Pilar.In Key West, Florida (his home during the 1930s), Hemingway found a laid-back, "bohemian" atmosphere that fostered a disciplined writing routine in the mornings and deep-sea fishing adventures in the afternoons with local friends, later dubbed the "Key West Mob". The house on Whitehead Street, a National Historic Landmark, provided a stable base where he wrote works like To Have and Have Not and numerous short stories.His time in Key West served as a gateway to Havana, Cuba, where he eventually moved and lived for over two decades, longer than anywhere else. His home there, Finca Vigía (Lookout Farm), offered the quiet and space where he wrote some of his most celebrated work, including For Whom the Bell Tolls and the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Old Man and the Sea. It was from the nearby village of Cojimar that he and his captain, Gregorio Fuentes, would set out on the Pilar.The 38-foot custom Wheeler yacht, the Pilar, was a constant companion for 27 years, serving as an escape from the pressures of fame and the setting for big-game fishing exploits that earned him a reputation as a founder of sportfishing. The boat was a personal and literary anchor, its name a nickname for his second wife Pauline and a character in For Whom the Bell Tolls. It became a literal and figurative vessel that carried him to the experiences he translated into raw, real stories.Finally, Ketchum, Idaho, became his autumn retreat and final home in the late 1950s, after planning to leave Cuba amidst political tensions. In the rugged landscape of Idaho, he hunted and fished the rivers and plains, finding a different kind of solace. It was here, struggling with deteriorating health and depression, that he ultimately ended his life in 1961, leaving behind a legacy deeply tied to the physical locations that shaped his life and literature.

As we step toward 2026, many Christians are trying to build a new year on an old foundation. In this powerful final episode of 2025, Mike Stone reveals three spiritual anchors you must leave behind if you want to walk fully in God's purpose—regret, comparison, and comfort.Drawing from Scripture, including Genesis 19, John 21, Isaiah 43, and Lamentations 3, this episode challenges believers to stop living as pillars of salt—preserved in the past—and start moving forward in obedience. Learn the difference between conviction and condemnation, why comparison is spiritually dangerous, and how comfort quietly kills growth.If you're longing for a fresh start, clarity in God's will, or freedom from what's been holding you back, this message is for you. God isn't waiting for January 1st to do something new—He's waiting for you to let go.

The legend of Jeremiah in Ireland does not line up with historical evidence and timelines from the most reliable resources. It takes a lot of research to separate the true history of Ireland from the conflations and fabrications. Jeremiah did go to Ireland, and the ruling line of Judah did continue, but this story is not the same as what has been regurgitated in error by so many.

Closing in on 300 episodes of The Made To Thrive Show, it's been an enriching and empowering journey for me speaking to global experts and health heroes about their fields of expertise. So in honor of the 300 mark, I have put together a masterclass composed of the best insights for each of Made To Thrive's 7 Pillars To Thriving: purpose, community, sleep, nutrition, movement, self-quantification, and environment. Thriving - Pillar by Pillar distills the best of those conversations into one powerful series. Each episode is curated to help you not just understand a specific pillar — but how to take action to live it.This is Medicine 4.0 in action: preventative, proactive, personalized through data, and performance-enhancing. We believe sustainable health begins with awareness, and education is the foundation that transforms how we become aware of ourselves and the actions and habits that create our life. Only when we understand, can we identify both what's holding us back as well as the thriving that's possible. At the root of the word doctor is Latin for teacher. Through the Pillar by Pillar series, I hope each episode becomes a lesson about how to see health and wellness differently, and to empower you to take action, one intentional, educated step at a time.Sleep Sleep is the bedrock of recovery, brain health, and hormonal balance. Quality sleep—particularly deep and REM cycles—enhances cognitive function, emotional regulation, and metabolic health. Without proper sleep, even the best habits in nutrition or movement are seriously negated, making it a pillar you cannot skip.Featured quests:1. Dr Michael Breus2. Devin Burke3.

Parenting and addiction are not two words you want in the same sentence, but unfortunately, addiction happens, and thus, parents need to know the facts about it. The Inherited Pattern of Addiction Addiction isn't just about individual choices; it often stems from generational patterns and dysfunction. Many people facing addiction today can trace their struggles back to influences and events in their family history. The interplay of epigenetics and unresolved emotional issues can shape how children are raised and how they handle challenges, impacting their potential for addiction. Recognizing Warning Signs in Children Parents might wonder what the early indicators of their child's potential addiction could be. It's essential to pay attention to changes in behavior, such as shifts in interests, friend groups, or academic performance. Unexplained isolation, carrying certain items everywhere, or noticeable changes in physical appearance can also signal underlying issues. Always trust your instincts; if you suspect something, there's often a valid reason behind it. The Role of Anxiety and Emotional Neglect Balancing Boundaries with Understanding Handling Older Children and Adult Addiction Relapse During the Holiday Season Holidays can amplify stressors, leading to a spike in relapses. Increased pressure, financial strain, and family dynamics can overwhelm someone in recovery. Families can support their loved ones by keeping celebrations manageable and straightforward, and avoiding substances that might trigger a relapse. Planning and open discussions about expectations can alleviate holiday-induced anxiety, helping maintain sobriety.

THE BRAVECO RITE OF PASSAGE: https://www.braveco.org/riteofpassageIn this powerful episode of the Brave Co podcast, I dive deep into the importance of fathers guiding their sons through the rite of passage into manhood. Our culture has lost the intentionality and significance of this vital moment in a young man's life, and I'm here to challenge that. Every boy deserves a clear pathway, a moment where he is called out of boyhood and into the responsibilities of manhood. This isn't just about age—it's about identity, strength, and faith.We'll explore the historical context of rites of passage across cultures—from the Native American vision quests to the bar mitzvah—and how these practices shaped strong men throughout history. I also share my personal experiences and what I've learned from my father. This episode is packed with practical insights for fathers who want to equip their sons with the virtues and values they need to step confidently into manhood. If you've been looking for a way to build a lasting legacy for your son, this is the episode you don't want to miss.Stay tuned to hear about the upcoming Brave Co. Ride of Passage, an event that's designed to break the mold of traditional conferences.

The single biggest mistake runners make is trying to run fast on every single run, and it's the very thing that's holding you back from your next personal best.If you've ever wondered why you blow up halfway through long runs or can't seem to get faster no matter how hard you push, this episode breaks down the real reason: your base isn't strong enough. I dig into what base training actually is, why it matters more than most people realize, and how it quietly transforms your speed, endurance, and resilience. You'll learn how to structure your easy runs, how the long run fits in, and how to use simple strength, stride, and plyometric work to build a body that can handle real training. By the end, you'll know exactly how to start doing this in your own running without feeling overwhelmed.Key TakeawaysSlowing down builds the aerobic engine that makes long-distance running feel easier and faster. When most runs stay easy, your body adapts in powerful ways.A strong base protects you from injuries by giving your muscles, tendons, and joints time to catch up to your cardio. Training gets more enjoyable when you're not constantly drained or hurting.When the engine is built, speed work finally works the way it should. You can run faster with less effort because your foundation can actually support it.Timestamps[00:33] What You'll Learn[01:21] What Is Base Training?[05:15] Use This to Run Far Long with Ease Right Now[06:34] The Actual Base Training Plan - Pillar 1: Easy Running[08:14] Pillar 2: Long Run (1x Per Week)[09:25] Pillar 3: Build The Chassis and Run Economy: Strength, Plyos, Strides Drills[14:50] Why You Should Not Skip Base Training[17:06] How Long Do You Need When Are You Ready to Do Faster Work?[19:58] Base Training Misconceptions[21:14] Why You Really Need to Learn About Long Runs After BaseLinks & Learnings
Your goals aren't the problem; your accountability system is. We explore the real reason 90-day plans gather dust and outline a practical path to turn written intentions into shipped work. Drawing on years of helping founders grow and scale, we break down how clarity, cadence, and community combine to create dependable momentum—even when motivation dips.First, we get honest about why self-accountability alone stalls progress. Without external feedback, it's easy to lose sight of what moves the needle, extend deadlines quietly, and confuse motion with results. We reframe accountability as guidance, not guilt, and show how small, consistent wins build the confidence and energy to keep going. From defining a single measurable 90-day outcome to choosing three lever tasks that drive it, you'll learn how to create focus that survives daily noise.Then we unpack the three pillars of real accountability. Pillar one: a clear, shared goal so collaborators can help you ignore distractions. Pillar two: simple, reliable check-ins that track shipped work and surface roadblocks early. Pillar three: community and collaboration, where peers offer models, troubleshoot bottlenecks, and help you turn overwhelming projects into doable steps. We talk through picking an accountability partner whose strengths complement yours and how to use short weekly touchpoints for maximum effect.Finally, we walk through the structure of a mastermind that keeps founders executing: recurring meetings, hot seats for targeted problem-solving, and a culture that celebrates completions. You'll leave with a lightweight system you can start today and a playbook for finding the right room to grow. If your plan has been waiting for a spark, this is the match.If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a builder who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more entrepreneurs find the show.
