Steve Schmidt and Brian Tyler Cohen talk about his newly launched book, “The Day After." Its real subject isn’t Donald Trump. It’s power. More specifically, it’s the refusal of too many Democrats to understand what power is for. For too long, Democrats have responded to authoritarianism with process, commissions, and endless deference to institutions that their opponents have been systematically dismantling. While Republicans seized power, Democrats too often acted as custodians of norms that no longer existed. That failure carried consequences. The corruption that went unpunished after Trump’s first administration didn’t disappear. It metastasized. When those who abuse power face no meaningful accountability, they return emboldened, convinced there’s no price to pay. If Democrats are entrusted with power again, they can’t simply promise a return to normal. America needs a government that solves problems, delivers results, and restores public confidence in democratic institutions. It will also require a broad coalition. Democracies are built by majorities, not ideological purity tests. Progress has always depended on imperfect allies united by a common purpose. The first hours of a new administration — not the first 100 days — will define whether it succeeds. Executive authority must be exercised immediately to restore integrity, dismantle corruption, and reverse abuses of government power. History rarely grants second chances, and when it does, they belong to leaders prepared to act. The challenge before the Democratic Party is larger than defeating Donald Trump. It’s proving that democratic government can still deliver competence, accountability, and hope. Elections are only the beginning. Governing is the test. And power, when entrusted by the American people, exists for one reason alone: to be used in defense of the republic.

Consistent effort in the gym doesn't always equal consistent results, and that gap is exactly what causes most training plateaus. In this episode, we break down the real reasons progress stalls even when you're showing up, and what to actually change to start seeing results again. You'll learn: The 70% rule for scaling training down to get better results, not worse Why intensity and proximity to failure matter more than volume alone How recovery, sleep, and nutrition directly affect your ability to progress Why program simplicity often beats constant program-hopping How to use exercise rotation and data tracking to break through a plateau The role of cardio and conditioning in supporting strength gains If your training feels stuck despite putting in the work, this episode gives you a clear framework for identifying what's actually holding your progress back, and what small, sustainable changes can get it moving again.   L5 Health Score Quiz https://score.lvltnhealth.com/ LVLTN Health https://www.lvltnhealth.com/ The Fitness League app https://www.fitnessleagueapp.com/ Join the Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lvltncoaching Chapters 00:00 Introduction: Why Your Results May Stall Despite Consistency 336:04:12 The Impact of Weather and Seasons on Motivation and Routine 6611:04:19 Identifying the Real Reasons for Training Plateaus 8722:11:05 The 70% Rule: Scaling Down for Better Results 11861:04:29 The Power of Intensity and Proximity to Failure 14999:57:58 The Importance of Recovery and Adequate Rest 18277:44:47 Program Consistency and the Value of Exercise Rotation 23194:24:57 Understanding True Failure and Its Role in Progress 28444:25:02 The Benefits of Program Simplicity and Focused Progression 31805:31:55 The Role of Cardio and Conditioning in Strength Training 34999:58:46 Adjusting Nutrition and Sleep for Optimal Performance 39999:59:00 Tools and Resources for Tracking and Personalizing Your Program 598055:33:07 Leveraging Data and Technology for Better Results 614444:26:29 Coaching and Support Options for Continued Progress 630555:33:14 Final Tips: Consistency, Patience, and Small Wins

In the 1920s, the newly established Irish Free State embarked on one of the most ambitious engineering projects in its history: the Shannon Scheme at Ardnacrusha.This was a state-of-the-art hydroelectric plant that paved the way for the electrification of Irish society. The scheme developed an almost mythic reputation, becoming a powerful symbol of independence, progress and modernisation.But behind the concrete and turbines was a darker story. Thousands of poorly paid labourers worked in brutal conditions, dozens were killed and hundreds suffered life-changing injuries. Many were left in poverty while Irish society celebrated their achievements. In this episode, I explore both sides of the Shannon Scheme: the remarkable project that helped transform Ireland, but also the terrible human cost that was largely written out of our history.Sound by Kate Dunlea.Support my work patreon.com/irishpodcast if you want to read more check out High Tension: Life on the Shannon Scheme https://www.abebooks.com/9781843510611/High-Tension-Life-Shannon-Scheme-1843510618/plpAndy Bielenberg's The Shannon Scheme and the Electrification of the Irish Free State is a good overview of the project.

On this episode of Volts, David Roberts talks with Will Poff-Webster of the Institute for Progress, who put together the new Transit Abundance Playbook, and Stephanie Pollack, former head of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and former acting administrator of the Federal Highway Administration. Their argument is that the costs are a policy choice: federal funding rules teach transit agencies to plan on a napkin and do the real work years later, to hire the lowest bidder over the one they know will deliver, and to defer to anyone holding a veto, while highways operate under looser versions of the same rules. As Pollack puts it, "if you hate transit, you should spend less on it." A surface transportation reauthorization bill is coming, and two of the playbook's proposals have already reached the House version.Chapters:00:00 Introduction: why cars work against cities03:25 Agency culture or federal law: where does the fix come from11:31 Planning: how federal funding enforces bad habits20:10 Overdesign: the Green Line stations and the frequency-first test23:40 Buses: why every agency orders a custom fleet26:53 Procurement: lowest bid versus best value32:56 Veto points and Italy's conference of services39:56 Permitting: environmental review as a NIMBY tool45:28 State capacity: why consultant brain took over51:46 Labor costs, automation, and Section 13(c)56:19 Is any of this politically achievable?1:03:28 Final question: one reform each

Episode Summary      On January 18, 2018, in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, Green Beret combat medic Luke Sciulli stopped being the medic and became the patient. A booby-trapped building collapsed on him during a personnel-recovery operation, fracturing his C4, C5, and C6 vertebrae, both scapulas, and his pelvis, and leaving him with a spinal cord injury at C5. In this episode of WarDocs, SFC(R) Luke Sciulli walks through that day and the MEDEVAC chain that followed — forward surgical team, Kandahar, Landstuhl, and Walter Reed — and explains how living through the system he once operated permanently reshaped his view of casualty care, pain management, and patient advocacy.   SFC(R) Sciulli is candid about the recovery that nearly broke him. He describes the culture shock of moving from elite combat operations to a 30-bed spinal cord injury ward populated largely by elderly veterans, and the slow, deliberate realization that, in his words, the only person who was going to make his life better was him. He maps the framework that pulled him back — physical health, mental health, and career — and offers a direct message to wounded operators who cannot get out of bed: the discipline that earned the Beret, the Tab, or the Trident is still inside them.   The conversation then widens into the operational and strategic challenges Sciulli has tackled across an extraordinary career. He compares civilian and military trauma systems and argues that surgeons in major American cities now see more penetrating trauma than many military providers — making military-civilian partnerships essential to keeping skills sharp. He recounts building a joint, combined MEDEVAC architecture across five African nations, and embedding at forward surgical teams in Ukraine just kilometers from the front, where 60 to 90 casualties a day exposed gaps in Role 1 and Role 2 doctrine, risk tolerance, and interoperability that U.S. tabletop exercises rarely surface.   SFC(R) Sciulli also draws on his time supervising a 216-bed field hospital at Columbia University during the 2020 COVID surge and his current work with Vigilant Consulting and Valinor Enterprises advising on tactical medical technology. He makes the case for predictive analytics, wearables, and automated resuscitation systems to force-multiply providers in large-scale combat operations — while confronting the risk-acceptance and accountability questions that slow adoption. He closes with the cause he intends to define his legacy: fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized in the civilian, defense, and healthcare worlds, and expanding the transition programs that turn their hard-won skills into lives saved at home.

The standard WarDocs welcome sets up a firsthand look at military medicine from the austere edge of combat to the front lines of innovation. (01:10-05:30) Becoming the Casualty in Helmand Province SFC(R) Sciulli recounts volunteering to backfill a buddy's ODA as senior medic and the January 18, 2018 operation in which a booby-trapped building collapsed onto him. He details catastrophic injuries — broken C4-C6, a C5 spinal cord injury, fractured scapulas and pelvis — and the MEDEVAC through the forward surgical team toward higher care, including how his teammates stabilized and moved him. (05:30-11:30) The Recovery That Rewired Everything He describes six months split between Walter Reed and the Tampa VA, the jolt of moving from combat to a spinal cord injury ward, and the loss of career, health, and identity overnight. The turning point came when he accepted that no one else could make his life better, and built a deliberate framework around physical health, mental health, and career. (11:30-15:45) Civilian and Military Medicine, Two Ways Drawing on his paramedic, firefighter, and critical-care flight background plus SF service, Sciulli argues civilian surgeons now out-rep many military providers on penetrating trauma, making military-civilian partnerships essential. He also reflects on serving as senior medical provider for SEAL Teams Two and Eight and why interoperability comes down to people and personality. (15:45-22:45) Distance, Mass Casualties, and Lessons from Ukraine He explains building a joint, combined MEDEVAC system across Chad, Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Libya, then scales the problem to the Indo-Pacific and Eastern Europe. Embedded at forward surgical teams in Ukraine, he saw 60 to 90 casualties a day and learned hard lessons about volume, interoperability, civilian EMS integration, and U.S. risk tolerance. (22:45-32:30) Field Hospitals, Tactical Technology, and Risk SFC(R) Sciulli describes supervising a 216-bed COVID field hospital at Columbia University and why a military-style community made it work. He then identifies penetrating and shrapnel trauma as a top killer and makes the case for wearables, predictive analytics, and automated resuscitation — confronting the risk acceptance and human trust that slow adoption. (32:30-36:15) Recruiting the Next Force and a SOF Medic Legacy Speaking to students, residents, and recruiters, Sciulli reframes the pitch: the military needs people willing to operate beyond their comfort zone and scope, not just another credential. He closes on the legacy he intends to leave — fixing the negligent disconnect that leaves SOF medics and operators underutilized after service. Take Home Messages Experiencing Care Builds the Best Advocates: Living through the casualty evacuation chain as the patient teaches lessons no provider can learn from the other side of the litter. Empathy, pain management, and patient advocacy take on new meaning once a clinician has been the one strapped to the litter. Recovery Is a Decision You Make Daily: The hardest part of catastrophic injury is mental, not physical. Progress comes from a conscious choice to get up and be better than yesterday, supported by resources but driven by personal ownership of physical health, mental health, and career. Keep Military Providers Sharp in Civilian Trauma: Civilian surgeons in major cities now see more penetrating trauma and polytrauma than many military clinicians. An integrated military-civilian system that rotates providers through high-volume civilian centers is essential to keeping wartime skills ready. Plan for Volume, Distance, and Interoperability: Future large-scale combat means moving casualties across oceans and continents while relying on host-nation, partner, and civilian systems. High casualty volumes and contested distance demand generalist skill, civilian EMS integration, and a higher tolerance for operational risk. Close the Gap Between Research and the Warfighter: Government funds enormous amounts of combat casualty research and technology that never reaches frontline providers fast enough. The mission is to translate proven findings and devices into the warfighter's hands tomorrow — not years from now.   Episode Keywords military medicine, combat medicine, Green Beret medic, 18D combat medic, special forces medic, combat casualty care, TCCC, spinal cord injury recovery, polytrauma, Helmand Province, Walter Reed, MEDEVAC, forward surgical team, Ukraine combat medicine, mass casualty, large scale combat operations, LSCO, prolonged field care, tactical medicine, medical device innovation, SOF medic, military civilian partnership, WarDocs, Luke Sciulli, veteran resilience, penetrating trauma   Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #CombatMedicine, #GreenBeret, #WarDocs, #CombatCasualtyCare, #SOFMedic, #VeteranResilience, #TacticalMedicine   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission- WarDocs exists to honor the legacy of Military Medicine, preserve its history, and inspire every generation — across all Services, Corps, and Ranks — to serve with excellence and pride.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Mujahid Muhammad. I Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to demystify personal finance, redefine wealth‑building, and emphasize the importance of preparation, capitalization, and disciplined planning. Mujahid Muhammad, a personal financial coach and founder of Wealth Coaching Stratosphere, shares a deeply personal journey marked by financial success, failure, rebuilding, and hard‑earned wisdom. Through candid storytelling, the interview reframes wealth not as risky speculation or quick wins, but as a long‑term process grounded in personal financial stability, liquidity, and informed decision‑making. The conversation is designed to help everyday people avoid common financial traps and approach real estate and investing from a position of strength rather than desperation. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Experience Is the Best Teacher Mujahid’s financial philosophy is rooted in lived experience. After building a seven‑figure real estate portfolio early in life, he suffered devastating losses due to Hurricane Katrina and the 2008 housing collapse. These setbacks reshaped his understanding of leverage, risk, and preparation. Key takeaway: Financial success without safeguards can collapse quickly. 2. Leverage Without Liquidity Is Dangerous One of the most powerful lessons Mujahid shares is that being “asset‑rich but cash‑poor” is a vulnerable position. His earlier strategy relied heavily on leverage without sufficient reserves, leaving him exposed when disaster struck. Key takeaway: Liquidity is protection; leverage alone is not wealth. 3. Fix Personal Finance Before Building Businesses Mujahid stresses that many people pursue entrepreneurship or real estate in hopes of fixing personal financial struggles—often with disastrous results. Instead, personal financial stability must come first. Key takeaway: Solve your personal finances before using business to create wealth. 4. Wealth Is a Process, Not a Product The interview reinforces that financial improvement isn’t something you buy—it’s something you build over time. Mujahid emphasizes facing financial reality honestly instead of avoiding uncomfortable truths. Key takeaway: Progress starts by looking at the numbers, not ignoring them. 5. The Five Financial Stratospheres Mujahid introduces his Wealth Coaching Stratosphere model, outlining five levels of financial development: Financial Failure Financial Health Financial Fluency Financial Wealth Financial Independence Each stage represents a mindset and requires different behaviors and priorities. Key takeaway: Knowing your financial “stratosphere” determines your next move. 6. Capitalization Comes Before Real Estate Mujahid advises against entering real estate before reaching financial fluency. While creative financing exists, retaining real estate requires cash flow, reserves, and patience. Key takeaway: You can buy property with little money—but you cannot keep it that way. 7. The Importance of Capital and Opportunity Funds He emphasizes saving, emergency funds, and opportunity funds as prerequisites to investing. Capital allows individuals to recognize and act on opportunities without panic. Key takeaway: Capital creates clarity—and choices. 8. Infinite Banking and Financial Autonomy Mujahid explains the Infinite Banking Concept, which focuses on reclaiming control over the banking function through properly structured life insurance, allowing individuals to access capital without relying on traditional lenders. Key takeaway: Financial independence includes controlling how you access capital. 9. Debt Freedom Is Hard—but Worth It Through personal stories of tackling significant student loan and consumer debt, Mujahid emphasizes that debt freedom requires sacrifice, time, and unity—especially within marriage. Key takeaway: Debt freedom is attainable, but only through commitment and discipline. 10. Coaching Provides Accountability and Perspective Mujahid describes financial coaching as objective guidance from someone who has navigated the journey before. Coaching is positioned as a serious commitment, not casual advice. Key takeaway: Accountability accelerates growth. Notable Quotes “Leverage without liquidity is stupidity.” “We try to use business to solve personal finance problems—and that’s backwards.” “Wealth is a process, not a product.” “You can acquire real estate with no money—but you can’t keep it that way.” “Capitalization changes how you see opportunity.” “If you have a six‑figure income, your problem is usually you.” “Debt freedom is hard—but it’s worth it.” “Preparation puts you in a position of strength.” Overall Message Mujahid Muhammad’s interview is a ground‑truth masterclass in financial realism and discipline. His story strips away hype and reframes wealth creation as a methodical, values‑driven process that begins with personal accountability and preparation. Ultimately, the conversation challenges listeners to shift from chasing opportunity to becoming prepared for opportunity, reinforcing that sustainable wealth is built through patience, liquidity, education, and intentional planning. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Support the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mujahid emphasizes facing financial reality honestly instead of avoiding uncomfortable truths. Key takeaway: Progress starts by looking at the numbers, not ignoring them. 5. The Five Financial Stratospheres Mujahid introduces his Wealth Coaching Stratosphere model, outlining five levels of financial development: Financial Failure Financial Health Financial Fluency Financial Wealth Financial Independence Each stage represents a mindset and requires different behaviors and priorities. Key takeaway: Knowing your financial “stratosphere” determines your next move. 6. Capitalization Comes Before Real Estate Mujahid advises against entering real estate before reaching financial fluency. While creative financing exists, retaining real estate requires cash flow, reserves, and patience. Key takeaway: You can buy property with little money—but you cannot keep it that way. 7. The Importance of Capital and Opportunity Funds He emphasizes saving, emergency funds, and opportunity funds as prerequisites to investing. Capital allows individuals to recognize and act on opportunities without panic. Key takeaway: Capital creates clarity—and choices. 8. Infinite Banking and Financial Autonomy Mujahid explains the Infinite Banking Concept, which focuses on reclaiming control over the banking function through properly structured life insurance, allowing individuals to access capital without relying on traditional lenders. Key takeaway: Financial independence includes controlling how you access capital. 9. Debt Freedom Is Hard—but Worth It Through personal stories of tackling significant student loan and consumer debt, Mujahid emphasizes that debt freedom requires sacrifice, time, and unity—especially within marriage. Key takeaway: Debt freedom is attainable, but only through commitment and discipline. 10. Coaching Provides Accountability and Perspective Mujahid describes financial coaching as objective guidance from someone who has navigated the journey before. Coaching is positioned as a serious commitment, not casual advice. Key takeaway: Accountability accelerates growth. Notable Quotes “Leverage without liquidity is stupidity.” “We try to use business to solve personal finance problems—and that’s backwards.” “Wealth is a process, not a product.” “You can acquire real estate with no money—but you can’t keep it that way.” “Capitalization changes how you see opportunity.” “If you have a six‑figure income, your problem is usually you.” “Debt freedom is hard—but it’s worth it.” “Preparation puts you in a position of strength.” Overall Message Mujahid Muhammad’s interview is a ground‑truth masterclass in financial realism and discipline. His story strips away hype and reframes wealth creation as a methodical, values‑driven process that begins with personal accountability and preparation. Ultimately, the conversation challenges listeners to shift from chasing opportunity to becoming prepared for opportunity, reinforcing that sustainable wealth is built through patience, liquidity, education, and intentional planning. #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Steve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Randy Newberg sits down with MTNTOUGH coaches Sarah Maschino and Nick Bechtold to break down the brand-new Always Ready 50+ program. Designed for hunters and active adults over 50 (but perfect for anyone rebuilding after injury, desk life, or time off), this 12-week, 3-day-per-week plan focuses on strength, balance, mobility, and progressive conditioning without the beat-down. They discuss building a “fitness buffer” for longevity, training around common aches and injuries, the difference between motivation and discipline, and real stories of older hunters reclaiming bucket-list adventures. Practical, honest, and life-changing — this is how you stay dangerous for decades.V I D E O S TO W A T C H N E X T

Noah Rothman is a senior writer at National Review and author of the new book Blood & Progress, which makes the case that left-wing political violence has a long and largely forgotten history in America. He joins Coleman Hughes to argue that the commonly held belief that political violence is largely a right-wing phenomenon is not just inaccurate but actively dangerous. He believes America has forgotten a century's worth of anarchist bombings, Marxist guerrilla movements, and ideologically motivated assassinations. And with the trials of Luigi Mangione and the alleged Charlie Kirk killer now underway, the pattern is repeating in real time.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

To survive the brutal reality of elite-level strength, you might have to destroy the very person you spent a lifetime building. Ben Pollack earned a PhD in physical culture history while systematically destroying his own body, ignoring years of excruciating warnings for the sake of world records and plastic trophies. But when a sudden, terrifying neurological shutdown left half his body completely unresponsive overnight, he was forced to abandon the self-destructive addiction to pure suffering and learn what true strength is actually for. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION The Paralyzing Price of Progress: How chronic tension and "clenching" led to a sudden neurological collapse that left Ben unable to flex his own lat. The Trap of Extreme Weight Cuts: The brutal reality of starving down to 181 pounds, and why the physical toll of dehydration is more dangerous than any PED. Forced Identity Death: Why the most critical step in recovering from a career-ending injury is literally becoming a different human being. The Illusion of More: How chasing a 600-pound deadlift proved that achieving your ultimate physical goals won't fix who you are on the inside. Redefining Effort: Why your accessory work is wasting energy, and how to train with high frequency without accumulating crippling global fatigue. MEET THE GUEST Ben Pollack is a physical culture scholar, former world-record powerlifter, and IFBB Pro bodybuilder who has spent his life bridging the gap between academic theory and under-the-bar reality. After reaching the peak of both strength and physique sports, Ben faced a near-fatal neurological reckoning that forced him to dismantle his philosophy. Today, he coaches athletes not just to build elite strength, but to survive it.

If you've ever judged a workout by how wrecked you felt the next day, this episode is going to reframe everything. Dani Coleman, VP of Training and Head Trainer at Pvolve and Jennifer Aniston's personal trainer since 2021, feels less like a podcast guest and more like a sister from another mister. Dani covers the cardio myth that kept a generation of women on the elliptical for hours, why "toned" is basically a safe word for building muscle, how Jennifer Aniston's approach to training has evolved through menopause, why recovery is a non-negotiable (not a reward), the overlooked third pillar of movement nobody talks about, why cortisol isn't the villain, and what "one to three reps shy of failure" actually feels like in your body.

It's hard to believe we're already halfway through 2026. One thing I've learned over the years is that time is going to keep moving whether we're paying attention or not. That's why I've made it a habit to set annual goals, revisit them regularly, and share my progress publicly. At the end of 2025, I shared my personal and business goals for 2026. Now that we've reached the halfway point of the year, it's time for a check-in. In this episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what's working, what's not, what goals are on track, and where I need to refocus for the second half of the year. We'll talk about everything from health goals and reducing stress to business growth, podcast downloads, content creation, and the realities of running a business in today's economy. My hope is that this episode encourages you to pause and do your own mid-year review. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop, reflect, and make intentional adjustments before the year gets away from you.   In this episode, we discuss: Progress toward my personal health and wellness goals What I've learned about slowing down, reducing stress, and prioritizing recovery My progress toward maxing out my Roth IRA in 2026 Why my honeymoon and wedding plans have shifted Efforts to reduce screen time and be more intentional with technology What the first half of 2026 has taught me about managing a full life The current state of City Girl Savings and our business goals Revenue, profitability, and navigating economic uncertainty Podcast growth, content creation, and audience building Why consistency matters even when results take longer than expected The mindset I'm carrying into the second half of the year   This episode is especially helpful if you: Set goals at the beginning of the year and haven't revisited them Feel behind on your personal or financial goals Want motivation to reset and refocus for the second half of the year Are working toward health, money, or business goals Need a reminder that progress isn't always linear Want a realistic look at what goal pursuit actually looks like   Why this matters: Too many people treat goals like a January activity. They set ambitious intentions, get excited for a few weeks, and then never revisit them until December. But real progress happens when you're willing to check in honestly along the way. A mid-year review isn't about judging yourself for what hasn't happened yet. It's about recognizing what's working, acknowledging what needs adjustment, and deciding how you want to move forward. Some goals will be ahead of schedule. Some will be behind. Some may need to change entirely. That's not failure. That's life. The goal isn't perfection. The goal is staying engaged with the life you're trying to build. Often, the willingness to reassess and adjust is what ultimately creates the results you're looking for.   Timestamps: [02:21] Raya breaks down her progress on her first personal goal of 2026 – improving her health for long-term functioning. This goal was harder to measure, but indicators of growth exist. [06:03] Raya's honeymoon and courthouse wedding timeframe has been pushed out. This goal likely will not be achieved in 2026.  [10:57] After 5 months of no breaks in daily workouts, Raya learned she needs to prioritize recovery (which means more frequent traveling)! [14:36] A business goal is to increase newsletter growth by 20%. Currently, this goal is trending about 4%. Raya shares things that can help improve this before the year ends.   Resources Mentioned: Episode #209: My Personal and Business Goals for 2026 Request a free money call with Raya City Girl Savings Personal Finance Portfolio Financial Focus Coaching Program   If you've been feeling behind on your goals, consider this your reminder that there's still plenty of year left. You don't need to wait until January to reset. You don't need a perfect first half of the year to have a strong second half. The truth is, most meaningful progress doesn't happen in a straight line. Some goals move faster than expected. Others take longer. Some priorities shift completely because life shifts. One of the biggest lessons I've learned over the years is that goals aren't just about achieving an outcome. They're about who you become in the process. They're about building consistency, learning from setbacks, making adjustments, and continuing to move forward even when things don't go exactly according to plan. So if you've fallen behind in an area of your life, give yourself permission to be honest about where you are without judging yourself for it. Then decide what the next best step looks like from here. Maybe that means recommitting to a goal. Maybe it means adjusting the goal. Maybe it means celebrating progress you've overlooked because you're too focused on what hasn't happened yet. Whatever your situation, don't let the first half of the year determine the second half. Take time to reflect. Acknowledge how far you've come. Make the adjustments you need to make. Then keep building. Remember: You are not behind…you are building. Consistency compounds. The steady work you're doing now is shaping your next level.  

What if the thing you think makes you different is actually something nearly everyone experiences?In this episode, I explore why so many of us carry the quiet belief that we're falling behind, not doing enough, or somehow don't measure up. Even when we make progress, achieve goals, or experience success, it's easy to wonder whether it's enough or whether we truly belong.We talk about why failure is a normal part of growth, why those old self critical thoughts don't simply disappear, and how learning to redirect them is far more realistic than expecting to eliminate them completely. Rather than seeing failure as proof that something is wrong with you, it can become evidence that you're continuing to learn, adapt, and move forward.In this episode, we discuss:• Why everyone experiences failure more often than they admit• The difference between failing and being a failure• How imposter syndrome keeps us questioning ourselves• Why comparison creates the illusion that everyone else has it figured out• Learning to redirect self critical thoughts instead of believing them• Building confidence through self trust rather than perfectionIf you've been carrying the weight of feeling like you're the only one struggling, this conversation is a reminder that you're not alone. Progress isn't about never failing. It's about continuing to move forward, learning from the setbacks, and trusting yourself to figure things out along the way.Want to see what's happening at Your Level Fitness?https://yourlevelfitness.com

Have you ever caught yourself asking, "What's the use?"What's the use of saving money if it's not enough? What's the use of working out if you don't see results? What's the use of reading, practicing, or making one more attempt when it feels like nothing is changing?In this episode, I challenge one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves: that effort is only worthwhile if it produces immediate results.I share a different way to think about progress. You're not in the results business—you're in the elimination business. Every time you make the effort, you eliminate a temptation to quit, procrastinate, or cope. You eliminate the assumptions that tell you you already know how the story ends.The outcome will come in its own time. Your job is to keep removing the things that stand in its way.If you've ever felt stuck, discouraged, or wondered if your efforts even matter, this episode will help you reframe the conversation you're having with yourself—and give you a reason to keep going.Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.TEXT ME!Support the show

Most people who fail to reach their fat loss goals aren't failing because of metabolic damage, weight loss resistance, or genetic disadvantages.They're failing because they're making specific dietary mistakes that erode the deficit they think they're in.And here's the thing most dieters don't realize. These mistakes aren't about lacking discipline or willpower. They're blind spots. They happen unconsciously, they happen to intelligent and successful people, and they happen to coaches and fitness professionals just as much as they happen to the general population.In this episode, we cover the four most common dietary mistakes I see derailing smart dieters — the misestimation patterns, the tracking blind spots, the Weekday Dieter trap, and the restaurant eating discrepancies that erode deficits without dieters realizing it.Because once you understand exactly where the gap between perceived intake and actual intake comes from, you can close that gap and finally unlock the progress you've been working for.HERE'S WHAT WE COVER:WHY MOST DIETERS WHO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT AREN'T LOSING FATTHE RESEARCH ON WHY UNDERREPORTING CALORIE INTAKE IS UNIVERSAL ACROSS ALL POPULATIONSWHY UNDERREPORTING GETS WORSE THE DEEPER YOU GET INTO A FAT LOSS PHASECALORIE AMNESIA AND WHY BITES, LICKS, TASTES AND SIPS DON'T REGISTER AS EATINGTHE FDA LABELING LOOPHOLES THAT LET PRODUCTS LABEL THEMSELVES AS ZERO CALORIESWHY YOU SHOULD COUNT TOTAL CARBS RATHER THAN NET CARBS ON PROTEIN BARSTHE QUEST BAR EXAMPLE AND THE 70-80 CALORIE UNDERTRACKING DISCREPANCYHOW TO TRACK ALCOHOL CORRECTLY WHEN YOUR APP DOESN'T HAVE AN ALCOHOL MACRO FIELDTHE NUTRITION TRACKING AUDIT INTERVENTION I USE WITH CLIENTS WHO HAVE STALLEDTHE WEEKDAY DIETER PATTERN AND WHY WEEKENDS QUIETLY ERASE WEEKDAY DEFICITSDIET PURGATORY AND WHY YOU CAN MENTALLY FEEL RESTRICTED WITHOUT BEING IN A DEFICITWHY RESTAURANT MEALS CONTAIN UP TO 245% OF THEIR STATED CALORIE CONTENTTHE CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATION PROTOCOL FOR TRACKING MEALS AT RESTAURANTSWHY THE FIX ISN'T MORE CARDIO OR FEWER CALORIES — IT'S CLOSING THE TRACKING GAPIf you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things and still struggling to lose fat, if you've been frustrated by what feels like a broken metabolism, or if you've been stuck spinning your wheels wondering why your progress has stalled, this episode is going to give you the diagnostic tools to figure out what's actually going wrong and how to fix it.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comMy Reading Recommendations:THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDShttps://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw

Welcome to episode #1045 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). Chris Bradley has spent more than twenty-five years helping organizations navigate strategy, growth, and long-term transformation as a Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company. He also serves as a Director of the McKinsey Global Institute, the firm's independent research arm, where he explores some of the biggest economic, technological, and societal questions shaping our future. His latest book, A Century of Plenty - A Story of Progress for Generations to Come, challenges one of today's most pervasive narratives: that humanity's best days are behind us. Drawing on years of research, Chris argues that another century of extraordinary progress is not only possible, but achievable... if we choose growth, innovation, and optimism over scarcity and zero-sum thinking. In this conversation, we explore why economic growth remains one of the greatest drivers of prosperity, health, culture, and opportunity, and why so many people nevertheless feel increasingly pessimistic about the future. Chris explains the historical forces that created unprecedented advances over the past century, examines the demographic, energy, and productivity challenges that lie ahead, and shares why he believes AI could become one of the most important catalysts for renewed growth rather than a force to fear. It is a conversation that pushes back against today's prevailing pessimism while offering a thoughtful, data-driven case that progress remains humanity's greatest competitive advantage.

Instead of accepting that public transport was not designed for him, the blind electrical engineer decided to build a better system.In this episode of ListenABLE, Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin sit down with Santi to discuss the experience that inspired Halo, an accessibility-first public transport app that alerts drivers when a passenger needs assistance, where they are boarding and where they need to get off.Santi explains how he became one of the relatively few blind electrical engineers in the world, why his parents taught him that “the only thing you cannot do is see”, and how he learned advanced mathematics, coding and engineering through Braille, audio technology and problem-solving.The conversation also explores the risks and opportunities of artificial intelligence for people with disability. Santi argues that AI can be incredibly useful, but only when people with lived experience are included in the data, design and decision-making process.From accessible public transport and guide dog discrimination to Braille literacy, rideshare accountability and the danger of treating people with disability as charity cases, this is a powerful conversation about independence, expectations and designing a world that works better for everyone.As Santi says:“We're not just charity cases. We have to have high expectations of ourselves because otherwise, who else is going to have them?”In this episode00:00 “I'll be damned if I'm going to be a second-class citizen”01:00 Welcome to ListenABLE02:05 Meet Santiago “Santi” Velasquez03:24 Growing up blind in Colombia06:14 Becoming a blind electrical engineer09:12 Learning mathematics, coding and engineering through Braille10:28 The tactile display that lets people feel a screen15:22 Is artificial intelligence actually accessible?20:58 Why blind children still need to learn Braille24:07 High expectations instead of charity25:58 The three buses that inspired Halo28:44 Why disability-led inventions benefit everyone30:20 How passengers with disability become invisible to transport systems31:55 Santi's global ambition for Halo34:39 How the Halo public transport app works36:25 Who should pay for accessible transport technology?38:14 Creating accountability across transport and rideshare services42:36 Why sharing lived experience matters44:04 The Bowl of Uncomfortable46:10 What people need to know about guide dogs48:07 Santi's final messageLearn more about Santi and HailoRequest Hailo in your city:Download and use Halo if you are travelling on participating services in Victoria.Follow the ListenABLE hostsDylan Alcott:https://www.instagram.com/dylanalcott/Angus O'Loughlin:https://www.instagram.com/angus_oloughlin/ListenABLE:https://www.instagram.com/listenable_podcast/ProductionListenABLE is recorded and produced in partnership with SESSION in PROGRESS, Melbourne's video podcast studio and production team.SESSION in PROGRESS:https://sessioninprogress.com.au/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/session.in.progress/Subscribe to ListenABLE for honest, funny and educational conversations about disability, accessibility and the experiences that connect us.#Disability #Accessibility #PublicTransport

You know that voice in your head? The one narrating your life right now? You're going to hear it longer than any friend, partner, or family member you'll ever have. Every relationship in your life is optional or temporary, except that one.This episode is about the relationship nobody teaches you to maintain: the one with yourself. We're unpacking why the way you talk to yourself becomes the blueprint for how you let everyone else treat you, why abandoning yourself often disguises itself as being "easygoing," and how you can't outsource your worth to a partner, a job title, or a follower count, because borrowed validation always comes with interest.We get into the practical stuff too: what it actually looks like to keep promises to yourself, how to sit alone with your thoughts without reaching for your phone, and why forgiving yourself isn't letting yourself off the hook. It's the only way to stop dragging the past into every new room you enter.You show up to every relationship you'll ever have. Might as well like who's showing up.⁠Get the Italia Collection here⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok Shop⁠⁠

Busch Gardens Tampa is closing Kumba, one of the most beloved B&M sit-down coasters ever built and the fourth-oldest operating B&M in the world, on August 2nd. Mike and EB spend the first drop giving a 33-year-old classic its proper send-off — the terrain-hugging layout, the iconic photo op under the corkscrew, the fact that it opened the same year Mike graduated high school — before digging into what "Kumba's Revenge" and a $100 million investment might mean for the space it leaves behind. From there, the news gets genuinely interesting: a strong rumor that Disney World's Space Mountain could get fully gutted and rebuilt from the inside out (with the guys making the case for why the purists are wrong this time), a D23 session themed to the Carousel of Progress that's being hosted by none other than Coaster Radio's own announcer, Neil Patrick Harris, and a reveal date for Six Flags Great Adventure's mysterious Project Purple — teased via a barnacle-covered shipping container reading "GVV," which may or may not stand for a name neither host can bring themselves to like. After the break, EB dives into a genuinely enormous care package from a listener packed with park maps, hats, collectible coins, and ceramic bourbon poker chips, before the two get into the show's real centerpiece this week: BlooLoop's list of the 26 best theme park attractions in the world. It's a sprawling, hotly contested countdown spanning six continents' worth of dark rides, and Mike and EB don't hold back — disagreeing hard on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, defending Pirates of the Caribbean's 60-year-old technology, and debating whether a ride that's been open for a matter of months deserves to be crowned the single best attraction on the planet.

Getting paid on a government construction contract is where most new contractors get stuck, and it usually is not about the work, it is about how you structure your billing. In this episode, Eric Coffie walks through the schedule of values line by line and shows exactly how to break a project into phases so cash flows in before the job is done. If you have ever wondered how you actually invoice the government without waiting a full year to see a dollar, this one solves it. How the schedule of values lets you bill by percentage of work completed instead of waiting for the full contract to finish Why you break a project into trades and divisions like demolition, fire suppression, and engineering to control your own cash flow The real answer on getting money upfront for bonding and mobilization, and why it does not work the way beginners expect How Eric uses a separate line item for engineering and design to legitimately invoice early once the government approves the work How to use the CSI construction divisions one through sixteen as a ready made template for your billing breakdown EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Sponsor intro and finding federal opportunities 0:48 - Schedule of values explained for construction contracts 2:31 - Breaking down scope of work into values  4:37 - Dividing a project by construction trades 7:53 - Who to invoice and when you bill 8:49 - Getting money upfront through the engineering line item Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

➢ Apply for coaching www.colossusfitness.comGrim but motivating stat: Without intervention, we lose ~3–8% muscle per decade after 30, and VO₂ max drops ~10% per decade. This accelerates frailty, falls, and loss of independence.Most people never sprint again after 308 Tips To Supercharge Your Body For Longevity:1- Maximize Your VO₂ Max (The #1 Predictor)Why it matters: One of the strongest independent predictors of all-cause mortality — often stronger than smoking, diabetes, or high blood pressure.How to train it: 80/20 rule — majority Zone 2 (conversational pace, you can speak in full sentences but it's effortful) + 1 hard session/week (intervals: e.g., 4×4 min hard or Norwegian 4×4 protocol).Practical: 3–5 sessions/week total. Brisk walking/rucking counts. Even older adults can improve 15–30% in months.First step: Test it (lab, or good wearable estimate) and add one Zone 2 session this week.2- Lift Weights — Hit the 90–120 Minute Sweet Spot2026 BJSM study (147k+ people, 30-year follow-up): 90–119 min/week of strength training linked to 13% lower all-cause mortality, 19% lower CVD mortality, 27% lower neurological disease mortality. More than ~120 min didn't add extra mortality benefit in the data. Additive to aerobic work.Protocol: 3–4 sessions/week, focus on compound movements + progressive overload. Full body or upper/lower split. Include carries and grip work.First step: Block 90–120 min total this week across 2–3 sessions.3- Build Stability & Balance (The Hidden Foundation)Attia's #1 pillar. Prevents injuries and falls (huge longevity lever).Practical: 10–15 min most days — single-leg work, bird dogs, dead bugs, balance board or single-leg Romanian deadlifts. Progress difficulty.First step: Add a 10-min stability finisher after 2–3 workouts this week.4- Diversify Your Movement (The 19% Mortality Hack)2026 Harvard study (BMJ Medicine): Highest exercise variety group had 19% lower all-cause mortality vs lowest variety — independent of total volume. Walking, weights, jogging, tennis/squash, cycling, stairs, etc. all counted.Practical: Don't just lift + run. Add rucking, swimming, pickleball/tennis, hiking, dance, or even gardening as “exercise.”First step: Add one completely different modality this week.5- Train for the centurion decathalonAttia concept: Identify 10–12 real-world activities you want to do at 80–100 (get off floor without hands, carry two bags of groceries up stairs, hike with pack, play with grandkids on the floor, etc.) and reverse-engineer training now.Practical: Farmer carries, floor get-ups (Turkish get-up variations), stair climbs with load, grip work, single-leg strength.First step: Write your personal “Centenarian Decathlon” list this week.6- Eat Enough Protein to Preserve MuscleAttia recommendation: 1.6–2.2 g/kg body weight per day (roughly 0.8–1 g per lb) — much higher than the old RDA. Critical because of anabolic resistance as we age. Pairs perfectly with resistance training.Practical: ~30–50 g high-quality protein per meal (leucine threshold ~2.5–3 g). Spread across 3–4 meals. Meat, eggs, dairy, whey, or high-quality plant combinations.First step: Audit one day of eating and add protein where you're low.7- Treat Sleep as Your Most Important Training SessionSleep is when you actually adapt and recover. Poor sleep destroys muscle gains, VO₂ max improvements, and accelerates biological aging.Practical: 7–9 hours consistent schedule. Dark, cool room. Wind-down routine. Track it.First step: Pick a non-negotiable bedtime and protect the hour before it.8- Track, Test & Iterate (Data Over Feelings)DexaThanks for listening!

We have got a LOT to cover this week and honestly the news just keeps coming. Let's get into it. First up, Magic of Disney Animation finally has an opening date and it is September 14th. This is the brand new experience coming to the reimagined Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios and it sounds like a really solid lineup. You've got Drawn to Wonderland which is a playground experience, Off the Page for character meetings, Olaf Draws which is a drawing class (yes please), the Once Upon a Studio Theater, and more. This feels like a real destination area and we are genuinely excited to check it out. Quick financial note for anyone who follows the business side of things: The Walt Disney Company drops their 3rd Quarter financial results on Wednesday August 5th at 8:30am Eastern via live webcast. Worth keeping an eye on. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party fans, heads up. October 13th and August 18th are the next two dates to sell out and they are moving faster than last year. If you are on the fence about grabbing tickets, stop waiting. Also interesting, both Beak and Barrel and Geo-82 went to walk-up lists last week, which is actually a first for those spots. The party crowd is hungry. Now let's talk D23 because things are getting really exciting. Neil Patrick Harris is going to host the Experiences Showcase and honestly the format sounds amazing. It's inspired by the Carousel of Progress, he'll be guiding the whole show, chatting with Imagineers and storytellers, and there are supposed to be announcements, special performances, and surprises. We are so ready. Also at D23, Leslie Iwerks is debuting a brand new documentary focused on Disney Parks. She made the Imagineering Story and Disneyland Handcrafted, so the pedigree here is outstanding. We also want to take a moment to acknowledge that her father Don Iwerks recently passed away at 96. Don was an absolute legend. He developed the 360 degree Circle Vision camera, built the film equipment used at the 1964 World's Fair, engineered the 3D film and effects for Captain EO, and built the projection system for Star Tours. What a career. What a legacy. And then there is the Space Mountain rumor that has everyone buzzing. Word is the attraction could be getting a very major refurbishment, potentially including a full track replacement, updated audio, and a redesigned ride vehicle that seats two across instead of single file. Nothing confirmed yet but this might be something we hear more about at D23 next month. So yeah, a packed episode. Drop your thoughts in the comments below. What are you most excited about?

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I go back to when I'm stuck, looking for the person in my network who's already lived the answer. This one with Tony Robbins is a perfect example. I've been navigating some peak performance challenges around my physical body—joints breaking down from a life as an athlete. Tony has spent years deep in the breakthroughs happening in precision medicine and regenerative health. I originally brought him on the show to learn what was possible. I'm bringing the conversation back for Summer School because those questions matter even more now. Tony is a legend: #1 New York Times bestselling author, life and business strategist, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and peak performance expert. He's coached world-class athletes, entertainers, Fortune 500 CEOs, and U.S. presidents. He's also a friend. I've been front row at his multi-day seminars. I've used his techniques—from mental training to visualization to priming—and yes, I've walked on fire with him. But this conversation goes beyond mindset. It goes into the habits that separate people who are successful and fulfilled… and into Life Force, Tony's book on the regenerative medicine breakthroughs that can transform the quality of your life—and the lives of the people you love. "Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure." — Tony Robbins Summer School: Tony Robbins on Peak Performance, Precision Medicine, and Transforming Your Quality of Life Tony's obsession is a simple question with a lifelong answer: what actually changes the quality of people's lives? He frames the work as pattern recognition, pattern utilization, and pattern creation—learning from the best so you don't waste 10 or 20 years figuring it out the hard way. Then standing on those shoulders long enough to create your own. That lens shows up everywhere in this episode: in habits, in health, and in mindset. After being told some of his own health challenges were irreversible, Tony experienced firsthand how regenerative technology didn't just help him heal—it made him stronger. And the bigger point he makes is that these breakthroughs aren't reserved for the ultra-wealthy. As technology doubles in power and halves in cost, access keeps expanding. Medicine isn't the whole story, though. Tony also deconstructs the patterns of top performers—because your habits and your mindset still determine whether any of it matters. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why Tony does this work—and how growing up with pain made him obsessed with helping people reclaim themselves The habits of people who are both successful and fulfilled, starting with a mission bigger than yourself Why progress equals happiness, and why comfort quietly kills growth How to prime your day on purpose: cold water, gratitude, three-to-thrive, sincere compliments, and doing the hardest thing first The personal story behind Life Force—family illness, a pituitary tumor, a torn rotator cuff, spinal stenosis, and the stem cell turning point What's changing in regenerative medicine: stem cells, gene editing, diagnostics, sleep science, and more How to use Life Force as a guidebook, not a 600-page homework assignment Why mindset still decides the outcome—including the surprising power of belief, placebos, and your "emotional home" Patterns of Peak Performance One of the most useful parts of this conversation is how concrete it gets. Identifying patterns that already work for peak performers can save years of trial and error. In this episode, three keep coming up: 1. Have a mission Have something you care about more than yourself. It could be your family, your craft, your business, your community—anything real. Tony's blunt about this: when people have something more important than themselves, they don't run out of energy or excitement. When it's only about you, comfort creeps in. And comfort is where growth dies. His one-word formula for happiness is the same one he's taught for decades: progress. If you're not making progress, you're not growing. And if you're not growing, you're not giving. Growing and giving is the game. 2. Prime with gratitude Most people assume their thoughts are simply "their thoughts." Tony's point is that your thoughts are primed by your environment—so you might as well prime yourself on purpose. His morning starts with cold water (not because he loves it, but because it trains the brain: when I say go, we go). Then a 10-minute priming practice built around gratitude, a prayer-type focus, and "three to thrive"—three outcomes he sees and feels as already done. Why gratitude? Because you can't be grateful and angry at the same time. You can't be grateful and fearful at the same time. Most people, as he puts it, have a highway to stress and a dirt road to happiness. Priming is how you reverse that wiring. He also leaves someone a sincere audio compliment each day—not generic praise, but something specific that deepens the relationship. You can learn his free priming process at tonyrobbins.com/priming. 3. Do the hardest thing first Difficult work needs your best energy. Tony's rule is simple: crush the hardest thing early, create momentum, and let everything else get easier. How you start and end your day both matter. Of the two, he says starting well may matter most—because it frames everything that follows. Timecodes So You Can Jump Around 00:00 – Welcome and why this episode is part of Summer School 04:23 – Tony Robbins joins the show 05:03 – What gets Tony up in the morning: impact, reclaiming yourself, and pattern recognition 11:37 – Habits of the most successful and fulfilled people 13:16 – Progress equals happiness; growing and giving as the game 14:44 – Priming your day: cold plunge, gratitude, three-to-thrive, hardest thing first 20:35 – Why Tony wrote Life Force—and the personal experiences behind it 22:21 – The cancer story that shifted him from victimhood to biohacking 25:20 – Pituitary tumor diagnosis, second opinions, and learning to question standard answers 28:53 – Snowboard crash, torn rotator cuff, spinal stenosis—and the stem cell turning point 31:37 – Regenerative medicine breakthroughs worth knowing 38:54 – How to approach Life Force as a guidebook 43:19 – Access and cost: why these tools aren't only for the wealthy 47:00 – Mindset, placebos, and upgrading your emotional home 52:38 – Closing thoughts Why This Conversation Still Matters It's easy to treat health, energy, and longevity as tomorrow's problem—something you'll deal with when you have more time, more money, or a clearer diagnosis. This conversation makes that delay harder to justify. Tony's point isn't that you need every breakthrough tomorrow. It's that ignorance isn't bliss. Ignorance is pain. And in the worst cases, it's preventable loss. The diagnostic tools alone—especially if you're 40 or older—can change the trajectory of a life before a crisis shows up. At the same time, he keeps bringing it back to something simpler and more immediate: how you start your day, what you care about more than yourself, and whether you're actually making progress. The regenerative medicine is extraordinary. The habits and mindset are what make any of it usable. That's why this episode earned a Summer School seat. The science has only accelerated since we first recorded it. The human part—fulfillment, discipline, belief—hasn't gotten any less essential.

Free priming practice: tonyrobbins.com/priming Follow Tony: Instagram | X/Twitter | Website Questions to Reflect On What do I care about more than myself—and is that mission actually driving my days? Where have I confused success with fulfillment? Am I priming my mornings on purpose, or being primed by accident? What's the hardest thing I keep delaying—and what would change if I did it first? Am I waiting for a health crisis before I get curious about prevention, diagnostics, or recovery? Where has "I don't have access" become a story that keeps me from doing the homework? What 3–5 things could I do right now—habits, sleep, diagnostics, mindset—to raise the quality of my life and protect the people I love? The Core Idea Peak performance isn't just about grinding harder. It's about recognizing the patterns that create an extraordinary life—then using them, and eventually creating your own. Your body is part of that equation. So is your mind. So is having something you care about enough that you refuse to get comfortable. Tony's invitation is simple and demanding: don't wait until you're forced to pay attention. Learn what's available. Prime your days on purpose. Grow. Give. And don't let an old story about what's "possible for people like me" keep you from tools that could change—or even save—a life. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure—and progress, in body and mind, is still the most reliable path to both.
