Podcasts about Pressure

In this powerful episode, David Lichtenstein opens up about wealth, success, failure, and what truly gives life meaning. From business setbacks and rebuilding, to philanthropy, community responsibility, and personal resilience, this conversation challenges how we define success and where our real value comes from. It's an honest look at money, pressure, ego, and purpose, through a deeply Jewish lens grounded in lived experience.   The discussion goes far beyond finances, touching on tzedakah, leadership, cancel culture, failure, healing from trauma, Israel, and the responsibility to speak about uncomfortable but necessary topics. This is a raw, thoughtful conversation about courage, clarity, and living with conviction, even when it's unpopular.     This episode was made possible thanks to our sponsors:     ► Colel Chabad Pushka App    The easiest way to give Tzedaka   https://pushkapp.cc/meaningful _______________________________________   ► Torah Umesorah     Torah Umesorah equips teachers and schools to help every child thrive, support this work and help strengthen Jewish education by donating today.   https://content.jcn.io/MeaningfulMinuteTU _______________________________________   ► 7th Heaven Chocolate   high-quality, dairy-free chocolate that's ethically sourced and seriously good.   use code MPPfree for free shipping https://www.7thheavenchocolate.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoryFUtu_BwTX2aYLCwtf8ykSbfR4dcurwUZAS8p_C2ftD7WyjNN _______________________________________   ► 7th Heaven Chocolate   high-quality, dairy-free chocolate that's ethically sourced and seriously good.   use code MPPfree for free shipping https://www.7thheavenchocolate.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoryFUtu_BwTX2aYLCwtf8ykSbfR4dcurwUZAS8p_C2ftD7WyjNN _______________________________________   ►Rothenberg Law Firm   Personal Injury Law Firm For 50+ years!

I've been covering Amanda Seyfried's work consistently since starting my career — particularly starting the best part of my career, focusing on interviews. In fact, one of my very first press days was for Atom Egoyan's Chloe, which Seyfried headlines alongside Julianne Moore. With every press day that followed, I was constantly struck by Seyfried's general warmth and her passion for her work, but especially by her openness while talking about it. About 25 years into her career, I'm still wowed by those same qualities, but a new one surfaced during our latest conversation, our very first Collider Ladies Night interview. It's the importance Seyfried puts on being there for actors on the rise, like her The Housemaid co-star, Sydney Sweeney.The two star in the highly anticipated adaptation of Freida McFadden's incredibly popular novel. Sweeney plays Millie, a young woman who accepts a job working as a housemaid for Seyfried's character, Nina Winchester, and her family. Initially, it seems like a dream gig. The Winchester home is beautiful and Nina appears to be a lovely employer. However, on day one of the job, things take a turn. Or rather, Nina takes a turn.In celebration of The Housemaid's release this weekend, and The Testament of Ann Lee's upcoming rollout, Seyfried joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to discuss the experiences that led her to this moment — a truly exceptional moment during which she has two wildly different films hitting theaters at about the same time, both featuring breathtaking work from her.

Most sales outreach blends into the noise not because sellers lack effort, but because they approach prospects the same way everyone else does. In this episode, Ashley Winston breaks down why traditional outreach tactics fall flat and how sales professionals can stand out by leading with relevance, clarity, and genuine curiosity. We explore how to create conversations that feel natural, human, and worth responding to.Why Prospects Ignore Most Sales Outreach (00:02:10 – 00:03:35)Ashley explains that buyers aren't ignoring messages because they're rude, they're overwhelmed.Generic outreach, vague value statements, and self-focused messaging give prospects no reason to engage.The real issue isn't volume, it's relevance.The Biggest Mistake Salespeople Make in Messaging (00:03:35 – 00:05:10)Most outreach talks about the seller instead of the buyer.Ashley shares why messaging that leads with credentials, features, or company history immediately creates disengagement.Prospects care less about who you are and more about whether you understand them.How to Personalize Without Overcomplicating It (00:05:10 – 00:06:55)Personalization doesn't mean writing long messages.Ashley explains how small signals like role relevance, timing, and context, dramatically increase response rates without extra effort.Relevance beats creativity every time.Using Curiosity Instead of Pressure (00:06:55 – 00:08:30)Rather than pushing meetings, Ashley encourages sellers to spark curiosity.Open-ended questions invite conversation and reduce resistance, making prospects feel in control instead of sold to.Pressure ends conversations. Curiosity starts them.How to Earn Replies Without Chasing Prospects (00:08:30 – 00:10:05)Ashley breaks down why follow-ups fail when there's no value added.Each touchpoint should introduce a new insight, observation, or reason to respond not just “checking in.”Silence is feedback. Adjust accordingly.What High-Performing Sellers Do Differently (00:10:05 – 00:12:10)Top performers focus on quality conversations, not activity metrics.Ashley explains how intentional outreach, patience, and consistency lead to better pipeline health and stronger relationships.Selling is about connection, not coercion.Key Lesson: Make It About Them, Not You (00:12:10 – 00:13:55)When outreach is centered on the buyer's world, challenges, and priorities, responses come naturally.Sales success comes from empathy, relevance, and respect, not persistence alone.“If your message doesn't immediately answer ‘Why should I care?', it won't get a reply.” – Ashley WinstonResourcesWant help applying these strategies directly to your pipeline and hitting your quota?Join The Sales Evangelist Mastermind, a 90-day program designed to help you close more deals and hit your number.Learn more at thesalesevangelist.com/mastermindSponsorship OffersThis episode is brought to you in part by HubSpot.With HubSpot Sales Hub, your data, tools, and teams come together on one platform to help you close deals faster.

On today's Morning Espresso, we look at a Boxing Day unlike any other, with just one Premier League match on the schedule as Manchester United host Newcastle at Old Trafford. We dig into how fixture congestion and calendar pressures are reshaping one of English football's longest traditions.We also turn our attention to Africa Cup of Nations Matchday 2, with qualification scenarios beginning to emerge, major voices speaking out on the tournament's place in the global game, and key storylines from Morocco, Egypt, South Africa, and beyond. Plus, domestic updates across the NWSL and MLS, network news from SDH AM, and a look ahead to a 2026 that's already coming into focus.

JB White opens this episode of RattlerGator Report with reflections on family, gratitude, and perspective before shifting into a detailed analysis of global power dynamics and strategic signaling. The discussion centers on recent cartel extraditions tied to cooperation between the United States and Mexico, framed as part of a broader pressure campaign rather than isolated law enforcement actions. JB examines military posture, visible force projection in the Caribbean, and what he describes as a deliberate, Sun Tzu–style strategy operating below public awareness. The episode expands into economic acceleration driven by artificial intelligence, Elon Musk's role in future growth, and how technological expansion is reshaping the U.S. economy. JB also challenges prevailing narratives around alliances, sovereignty, and political actors, urging listeners to think forward rather than react emotionally to headlines. The episode emphasizes discernment, timing, and understanding power through long-term strategy rather than surface-level analysis.

Guest: Ty JenningsThis episode features Ty Jennings as the two dive into the realities of hunting pressured public land and how much more hectic it's become with increased hunter traffic. Ty breaks down what he's learned from following mature bucks over multiple years, including how their behavior and home ranges shift as pressure and age increase. The episode also recaps Ty's season from start to finish — the bucks that seemed to vanish, close encounters that nearly ended with a punched tag, and what ultimately led to him harvesting his buck. Along the way, both talk about antler size versus age, and how social media has influenced hunters to chase a certain idea of a “trophy,” when in reality any buck is a great accomplishment to take. Thank you for listening, and hope you enjoy.Deer Hunter Synthetics https://deerhuntersynthetics.comStealth Outdoors (BD10) https://www.stealthoutdoors.com/

Of course, I'm not recording this on Christmas Day, but I wanted to leave you a small note of encouragement on this special day. Merry Christmas, my sisters in Christ! In the middle of everything—family, expectations, traditions, and noise—I want to gently remind you to receive the Gift. Not just celebrate it. Not just acknowledge it. But to truly receive Him. Today doesn't have to be loud or productive. It can be quiet. It can be still. It can be a moment where you soften your heart, lay down the striving, and simply worship Jesus for who He is and what He's done. My prayer is that you find a few sacred moments today to be present with Him, and to rest in the peace only He brings. Merry Christmas.   I pray this blesses you!   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?  Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

In this Facing the Dark conversation, Dr. Kathy and Wayne Stender engage the growing concern around "sharenting," a term popularized by legal scholar Leah Plunkett to describe how parents and trusted adults share children's lives online. While often well-intentioned, constant posting can subtly communicate that a child's value lies in how they appear, how well they perform, or how much attention their moments generate. Dr. Kathy explains how children can internalize the belief that they exist to make parents feel proud, connected, or validated. When everyday life becomes content, kids may begin to feel responsible for maintaining a highlight reel rather than simply living their childhood. Over time, this can affect identity formation, confidence, and a child's ability to own and narrate their own story. Wayne reflects on the tension many parents feel: wanting to capture meaningful moments while also wanting to stay present in those moments. Together, they challenge families to reconsider the rhythm and ratio of posting, to create private spaces for memory-keeping, and to invite children into owning their memories rather than outsourcing them to a feed. Grounded in Scripture and child development, this episode invites parents to pause, put the phone down, and choose presence over performance, so kids can grow up known, secure, and free to become who God created them to be.

In this episode of Money Moves, Matty A. and Ryan Breedwell break down a market that's sitting at a critical inflection point. With investors digesting the latest economic data, shifting rate expectations, and mounting pressure across housing and consumer balance sheets, the guys separate real signals from media-driven noise.They discuss why recent market volatility doesn't necessarily signal weakness, how investors should be interpreting rate cut expectations, and why capital continues flowing into risk assets despite bearish headlines. The conversation expands into real estate, where affordability challenges, insurance costs, and taxes are forcing cracks in the market—creating stress for sellers but opportunity for patient buyers.Matty and Ryan also examine consumer behavior, debt trends, and why asset ownership remains the strongest long-term defense in an environment of currency debasement and government spending. The episode closes with actionable perspective on positioning portfolios as markets adapt rather than collapse.This is a must-listen episode for investors looking to stay grounded, disciplined, and opportunistic in uncertain times.Topics CoveredMarket volatility and why pullbacks don't equal crashesRate cut expectations and how markets are pricing them inInvestor sentiment vs. actual economic dataHousing affordability, insurance costs, and tax pressureEarly warning signs and opportunity in real estateConsumer debt trends and spending behaviorWhy asset ownership outperforms cash long termPositioning portfolios during macro uncertaintyEpisode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!

The Second Amended Complaint filed by Clayton Howard in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California lays out a sweeping civil case against Sean Combs, Cassandra Ventura, Bad Boy Records, Combs Enterprises, and the Beverly Hills Hotel Corporation. Howard alleges a pattern of abuse, coercion, intimidation, and exploitation tied to Combs' business empire, asserting that the defendants either directly participated in or knowingly enabled unlawful conduct. The complaint expands on earlier filings by adding detail, refining claims, and asserting that the alleged misconduct was not isolated but systemic, facilitated through corporate structures, private residences, hotels, and entertainment-industry power dynamics. Howard demands a jury trial and seeks damages, framing the case as one rooted in abuse of power, retaliation, and institutional complicity.The amended filing also emphasizes the role of corporate defendants and venues, particularly the Beverly Hills Hotel, arguing that they failed in their duty to protect individuals from foreseeable harm and instead allowed their premises to be used in furtherance of alleged misconduct. By naming both individuals and corporate entities, the complaint aims to pierce the separation between Combs' personal actions and his business operations, asserting joint liability across the enterprise. The Second Amended Complaint positions the case not merely as a dispute between private parties, but as a broader reckoning with how celebrity, money, and corporate shielding can be used to suppress accountability, with Howard seeking both financial relief and public adjudication of the claims before a jury.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Second Amended Complaint Howard v Combs Ventura.pdf

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Kyle Wiley, Assistant Professor of Sociology & Anthropology at the University of Texas at El Paso, about how social and traumatic stressors during pregnancy become biologically embedded and shape maternal and infant health. Kyle shares his path into biological anthropology and discusses his biosocial research on perinatal health disparities in the United States and Brazil. We explore his work on interpersonal violence during pregnancy in São Paulo, Brazil, focusing on how trauma affects maternal and infant cortisol regulation and what this means for fetal programming and intergenerational health. We also discuss his recent research on pica among Latina pregnant women, which takes a novel approach by examining stress hormones and inflammation rather than micronutrient deficiencies. The episode closes with a look at Kyle's new faculty role at UTEP, his current projects, and how he maintains work–life balance as an early-career scholar. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Wiley, K.

Most people fail under pressure because they never trained for it. What holds up under pressure is built long before comfort disappears. Army veteran, burn survivor, speaker, and actor JR Martinez sits down with Joe De Sena to break down how discipline is built before the crisis, why weak standards collapse fast, and how ownership, autonomy, and daily reps create real resilience. They cover parenting without rescue, pausing instead of reacting, using discomfort as data, and why refusing to lower standards is non-negotiable. Listeners leave with clear rules for holding the line when pressure hits.   Things You Will Learn: Why pressure exposes weak standards and untrained discipline How refusing rescue builds strength, autonomy, and resilience How to stay in the fight when stress removes comfort Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pressure as the Test: Shows what was actually trained No-Rescue Parenting and Leadership: Builds ownership and accountability Pause Before You Break: Keeps control when pressure spikes Timestamps: 00:38 Childhood responsibility and building autonomy early 07:37 When pressure exposes weak standards 13:15 Learning to pause instead of reacting under stress 17:45 Pressure as a test not a punishment 20:49 Using hardship as data instead of excuses   If this episode moved you, don't just listen.

Olympic skier AJ Hurt is the ultimate "bring your kid to work" success story. Her dad is on the ski patrol at Palisades Tahoe resort and AJ grew up hanging out with her dad on the mountain. AJ competed for Palisades Tahoe before making it onto the U.S. Ski Team as a teenager. "I was 16 when I raced my first World Cup. No one knows what they're doing at 16!" says AJ. But AJ figured it out quickly. She's an eight year member of the U.S. Ski Team, a three-time U.S. Alpine champ, and competed in the 2022 Beijing Olympics. She's as dedicated to her studies as she is her efforts on the snow. AJ studied engineering at Dartmouth. And, she's an accomplished musician as well. Fellow U.S. ski team members rely on her piano skills for impromptu singalongs on the road during the ski season. We caught up with AJ during off-season training in Tahoe to talk about how to maintain life perspective while competing at such a high level. On this Dying to Ask, The Road to Milan- Cortina: What AJ does in the summer to get ready for an Olympic year The role music plays in relaxing her brain And we'll enjoy an impromptu concert in an history Olympic Valley, CA chapel from AJ

The Detroit Lions got outclassed by a so-so Pittsburgh Steelers roster because the plan failed before the ball was kicked. In late December, that is a coaching loss. It exposed a defense without cohesion, a depth chart stretched past its limits, and a Dan Campbell team that needs answers now. This Detroit Lions Podcast recap stares hard at why. Coaching Exposed in Steelers Loss The NFL is unforgiving when preparation lags. Pittsburgh brought a clear script and executed it. Detroit arrived with a better cast and a worse idea. The coaches were not good enough. The defense had no identity. The game plan did not fit the personnel available. That mismatch showed up on every level, from alignments to adjustments. The Steelers dictated with modest talent because they were organized. The Lions were not. That's the headline. It is also the trend. The final score felt earned, and not in a good way. Numbers over narratives point to the same truth. Too many explosive gains. Too many empty downs. Too many drives where Detroit never forced Pittsburgh off schedule. Depth, Scheme, and a Defense That Lost Its Shape Detroit's backups are not winning games in December. Injuries gutted the defense and chipped away at the offensive line again. The “next man up” idea sounds brave. It does not stop crossing routes or protect a corner stranded in man coverage he cannot play. You cannot build a man-heavy scheme and then ask reserves to survive it. Detroit tried to mix in zone. That fell apart too. The front four must cover for the back end. It did not. The starters up front are healthy, as are the three linebackers behind them. Pressure still lagged. That left a shaky secondary to hold forever. Plans that counted on additions like Josh Paschal and Levi Onwuzurike never stabilized. The result has been a defense gashed by everyone, not just top NFC offenses but a middle-tier Steelers unit as well. Worse, the same problems surfaced in other spots. Remember the 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers performance in Detroit. The Lions handed him leverage with structure. He took it. That is a scheme problem. It is also a self-scout problem that has not yet been solved. Flags, Farewells, and the Stakes for Dan Campbell Officiating cannot be the story, but it keeps grabbing the mic. The calls at the end were brutal. They did not decide the outcome. They did shape the discourse. When pool reporters and penalty explanations dominate the postgame, the NFL has a quality control issue. Detroit cannot count on cleaner Sundays. It must become call-proof. Hard choices are next. Some of the Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes originals are nearing the exit. Alex Anzalone may have played his last game at Ford Field. Others with devoted followings could join him. Sentiment meets performance here. Depth must get better. So must the plan to deploy it. This is the inflection point. The Detroit Lions have the talent to compete. They need a defense that fits who is actually available, not who was penciled in back in June. Campbell's next moves will define his tenure. Adapt now, or see December become a closed door again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsDHgopy-aQ #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #pittsburghsteelers #coachingloss #defensewithoutcohesion #depthchart #dancampbell #explosivegains #man-heavyscheme #crossingroutes #mancoverage #frontfour Learn more about your ad choices.

Over the past week, President Trump has intensified pressure on Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro by targeting the regime's economic lifeline—oil. The United States has seized two oil tankers and is in pursuit of another, following President Trump's declaration of what he called a "total and complete blockade" of vessels carrying Venezuelan crude subject to US sanctions. The move places one of Venezuela's most valuable and strategic assets squarely at the center of the conflict. The country holds an estimated 17 percent of the world's oil reserves and produces nearly one million barrels per day, nearly all of which is exported. Targeting these exports and the use of a naval blockade carries serious implications, raising questions about the potential for further escalation. How is the standoff between Washington and Caracas evolving? What diplomatic or economic off-ramps—if any—remain? And what does all of this mean for global energy markets already navigating a fragile balance of supply, sanctions, and geopolitical risk? This week, Jason Bordoff speaks with Luisa Palacios and Eddie Fishman about the Trump administration's strategy in the region. Luisa leads the research team and is a scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy. Previously, she served as chairwoman of CITGO Petroleum Corporation, the US refining arm of Venezuela's state-owned oil company, PDVSA. Eddie is a senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy. He is the author of the bestselling book Chokepoints: American Power in the Era of Economic Warfare, which was named a finalist for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless. Produced by Mary Catherine O'Connor, Caroline Pitman, and Kyu Lee. Engineering by Gregory Vilfranc.  

In today's Daily Shift, we're gently reframing a belief many people carry without realizing it: the idea that something about you needs to be fixed. Healing is often misunderstood as constant self-correction — doing more work, understanding more, or becoming someone different. But growth doesn't require you to turn against yourself. You can be healing and whole at the same time. This short, grounding episode offers a reminder that: You are not a problem to solve Pressure doesn't create healing — safety does Feeling tired or overwhelmed doesn't mean you're failing You're allowed to be human while you grow Take a moment to pause, soften your breath, and reconnect with yourself — exactly as you are. This has been today's Daily Shift.

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, Brandon Laws sits down with Kate McKinnon, a fractional Chief People Officer with deep experience in high-pressure, high-visibility environments across sports and entertainment. Kate shares what it takes to protect culture when speed and stress are constant, how to address burnout and disengagement without pretending everything is fine, and why "stop, start, continue" feedback loops can help leaders turn frustration into action. They also unpack generational friction, the reality of AI reshaping HR and leadership work, and why developing first-time managers before they step into leadership is one of the most overlooked levers for performance. The conversation closes with practical ways to build belonging without huge budgets, and a reminder that grace and kindness still matter in modern workplaces. 0:00 Welcome to Transform Your Workplace + episode overview 2:00 Meet Kate McKinnon and why her background matters 4:00 Protecting culture in high-pressure, high-performance environments 6:00 Burnout, disengagement, and the power of "stop, start, continue" 9:00 Generational friction at work and how leaders can bridge the gap 11:00 Gen AI, new grads, and the future of work 13:00 Making work more human in an AI-driven workplace 15:00 Why great performers struggle as new managers 17:00 The future of learning and development: microlearning vs in-person 20:00 Belonging without big budgets: practical, low-cost ideas 22:00 Leadership lessons from crisis, M&A, and COVID 25:00 What sports culture teaches us about performance and growth 27:00 Using data, feedback, and scorecards to drive engagement 29:00 Bridging the gap from college (and military) to career 32:00 What the next decade of culture and leadership will demand 34:00 Final thoughts: grace, kindness, and what leaders should remember   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST Podcast: Transform Your Workplace, sponsored by Xenium HR Host: Brandon Laws In Brandon's own words: "The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.

Christmas keeps promising peace, joy, and hope—but for a lot of people, it mostly delivers pressure. Pressure to feel grateful. Pressure to believe harder. Pressure to pretend everything's okay.In this episode, we talk about Emmanuel—not as a seasonal slogan, but as the truth we were never taught to rest in. Not God watching. Not God waiting.

Everybody wants bigger results in 2026—more money, more freedom, more impact. Almost nobody wants the pressure that actually builds the capacity to handle it. In this episode, Jim breaks down the "furnace" moments of life—those seasons of heat, friction, and resistance—and shows how they're not punishment, they're training. Capacity, not talent, is what 2026 will reward. Using the S.A.I.D. principle from strength training, Navy SEAL mental toughness, and Dan Sullivan's Four C's, Jim unpacks how God uses pressure to expose your default operating system and forge you into someone who can hold more wealth, more responsibility, and more calling—without cracking. If you've been trying to avoid the heat, this conversation will help you see pressure as the forge where Breakaway Wealth leaders are made. What You'll Learn Why 2026 will reward capacity, and how to start building it now. How the S.A.I.D. principle (specific adaptation to imposed demands) applies not just to muscle, but to your brain, resilience, and wealth. The four types of pressure to train for 2026, and what training each one actually looks like.
