Send us a textThe trail running world buzzes with anticipation as Broken Arrow 46K approaches, and there's no better guest to break down this iconic race than its 2023 champion, Michelino Sunseri. Fresh off a move to Salt Lake City—which he boldly claims has "the best trail running community in the United States"—Michelino brings refreshing honesty about his current fitness and race strategy.Coming back from winter injury with just five weeks of running in his legs, Sinceri shares why he's approaching this year's race differently: "I'm not going to join the dick measuring contest," he explains, planning instead to leverage his veteran experience against younger, fitter competitors. His candid recounting of a previous race implosion—dropping from second to eighth in the final miles—reveals the hard-earned wisdom behind his current approach.Beyond race tactics, Michelino dives into the broader conversation about training sustainability in trail running. Questioning the extreme 160-mile weeks some competitors are logging, he contrasts this with Anna Gibson's success using moderate running volume supplemented with cross-training: "I enjoy running, I want to run forever," he reflects, highlighting his philosophy of career longevity over short-term gains.Perhaps most compelling is Sinceri's discussion of his World Championship team aspirations. Despite fitness concerns, he's already submitted his application, expressing that representing the United States would mean "everything" to him. This conversation captures not just pre-race strategy, but the deeper motivations that drive elite athletes beyond podium finishes and course records.Want to upgrade your trail running gear?

“We made up the rules. Let's change them.” In this episode, Michael Dargie talks with innovation strategist, author, and rebel-in-chief Robyn Bolton, founder of Mile Zero and author of Unlocking Innovation: A Leader's Guide for Turning Bold Ideas into Tangible Results. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. From growing up outside Cleveland to almost getting fired twice at Procter & Gamble for asking too many questions, Robyn's journey is one of fierce curiosity, unapologetic honesty, and building real change inside big organizations. She shares how being “respectfully disruptive” got her in trouble—and eventually got her free. They dig into what innovation actually looks like in practice (hint: it's messy), the moment she realized rebellion was her calling, and how she finds calm in a world of chaos—through Lego building. She also talks about how leaders can use self-awareness as their greatest innovation tool, why pretending to be more radical than you are will backfire, and how her new book is a manual for real-world, no-BS innovators. From literary obsessions to modular buildings, this episode is a masterclass in leading with purpose, persistence, and a sense of play. Quotable Quotes “You will only be satisfied if you're rebelling against something.” – Robyn Bolton “We made up the rules. Let's change them.” – Robyn Bolton “The first person always gets shot in the back. That's why they gave me the Pioneer Award.” – Robyn Bolton “If you're not willing to cross a line, let people know that ahead of time.” – Robyn Bolton “You're a deep well, Robyn.” – Michael Dargie Episode highlights Unlocking Innovation | Robyn's new book helps leaders turn bold ideas into real results Born to Rebel | Why the only life that satisfies her is one that breaks the rules Innovation with Integrity | Knowing what you're willing—and not willing—to do Cleveland Grit | Growing up tough and loyal in the home of the underdogs Major League Chill | Why summer baseball games are her favourite way to unplug Art Theft & Museums | The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is her Boston must-see Lego as Therapy | Robyn explains why building detailed sets helps her reset European Dreams & Key West Vibes | Her two favourite types of travel Seamless Teams | Her next book idea is already brewing Rebels in Waiting | Find your why, build your allies, and get ready for the long game Links from the episode Mile Zero Website (https://milezero.io)Robyn Bolton on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynmbolton) Get Your Copy of Michael's Book: "BrandJitsu™: Move Your Brand From 'Meh' To Memorable" Indigo | Barnes & Noble | MichaelDargie.com

Here's the thing—just because someone's wearing a white coat doesn't mean they have all the answers. In Part 2, Jill and I pick up where we left off and dive straight into the deep end. We talk about the pushy vaccine talk, why tongue tie revisions might be a total scam (yep, I said it), and how even the “crunchy” holistic world can be just as profit-driven as Big Pharma. We also get into COVID, fear tactics, and how moms are expected to make huge decisions with zero real support—while also keeping their kids alive and maybe brushing their teeth once a day. It's messy, it's honest, and it's exactly the kind of convo I wish more moms were having.- - - - - - - - - - -Liz Durham Instagram | WebsiteSubscribe Apple Podcast | SpotifyBeing Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production

About this Episode When love turns toxic, it can be almost impossible to see clearly through the confusion, self-doubt, and emotional chaos that follow. If you've ever found yourself trapped in a cycle of hope, heartbreak, and uncertainty within a relationship, you're not alone—and there's a reason why breaking free can feel so overwhelming. The hidden dynamics of pathological partnerships and trauma bonds often keep people stuck, questioning their worth, and struggling to understand why things never seem to get better. In this episode, listeners are offered insight and validation as the conversation unpacks the complex nature of trauma bonds and toxic relationships. You'll discover how these destructive patterns form, what psychological traits might make someone more susceptible, and why distinguishing between harmful behaviors and truly pathological intentions is so important. With practical guidance and real-life examples, this episode shines a compassionate light on the path toward healing, empowerment, and, for those who need it most, a way out. Affectionately known as Dr. Nae, Dr. Nadine Macaluso is a therapist specializing in trauma healing and personal transformation. Her life inspired the character Naomi Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street. After overcoming personal challenges, she earned a Master's degree in counseling and a Ph.D. in Somatic Psychotherapy. Dr. Macaluso helps individuals recover from trauma bonds, C-PTSD, and shame. She is also the author of Run Like Hell: A Therapist's Guide to Recognizing, Escaping, and Healing From Trauma Bonds.

Emotions in Yiddish Ghetto Diaries: Encountering Persecutors and Questioning Humanity (Routledge, 2024) uses an empathic reading of Yiddish diarists' feelings, evaluations, and assessments about persecutors in the Warsaw, Lodz, and Vilna ghettos to present an emotional history of persecution in the Nazi ghettos. It re-centers the daily experiences of psychological and physical violence that made up ghetto life and that ultimately led victims to use their diaries as a place of agency to question and attempt to maintain their own beliefs in pre-war Jewish and Enlightenment ethics and morality. Holocaust scholars and students, as well as people interested in personal narratives, interpersonal relations, and the problem of dehumanization during the Holocaust will find this study particularly thought-provoking. Essentially, this book highlights the benefits of reading with empathy and paying attention to emotions for understanding the experiences of people in the past, especially those facing tragedy and trauma.

In this week’s digital Bible study, Rev. Hannah and Rev. Brittany of First UMC of San Diego do a deep dive into Pentecost and the Holy Spirit, inspired by Acts 2. While many Christians identify the Holy Spirit with fire, these two female pastors lean into the wind imagery of the passage, looking at what happens when the “Winds” speak. It’s a Perspectives Pastors Podcast conversation that goes both wide and deep, analyzing: Why we often question when new ways of life are introduced at church and other deeply established institutions. How the Holy Spirit can be seen as the great equalizer – falling upon all peoples and embolden them to do something new and different. Questioning why “-isms” such as ageism, ableism, racism, classism, and capitalism still exists if God’s love knows no bounds through the Holy Spirit. How we perceive sin as being personal immorality instead of misaligned relationships. There is so much to explore about Pentecost and the Holy Spirit! While this episode covers a lot – it really is just the beginning of the topic. You can keep the conversation going by joining our weekly in-person Convergence discussion group or heading over to our Patreon channel to discuss the following questions with others: How have you encountered the Holy Spirit in your life or community? Can you share an experience where being part of a group made you feel connected or inspired? How is community strengthened by diversity?

An episode that explores the heart of autistic insight, authenticity, and truth-telling.In Episode 137 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we move onto Pillar 3— Norm Challenging. Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* ❓Autistic culture doesn't just question norms — it reimagines them. Being misunderstood is often a sign of being ahead of our time, not behind. Our literal minds challenge euphemism, dishonesty, and performative niceness. We ask “why” not to be difficult, but because truth matters.*

“What if I miss what God wants me to do because I haven't tried options x, y, or z?” This is something I question often.There is an overwhelming number of options in life, and as Christians, it is essential to have the right focus to make correct decisions. Clarity of focus brings clarity of purpose. The Bible and Prayer are ways to fellowship with God, who orders our steps in the way we should go.These are some of the things I discuss in this short episode.

Are your kids prepared to withstand the tidal waves of our culture—or will they get swept away? The cultural currents our kids are facing aren’t just subtle—they’re hitting like tidal waves, challenging the very foundations of our parenting. If you’ve ever wondered what exactly our kids are up against and how in the world we, as parents, can help them stand strong, this “Best Of” episode of CP/CW is for you. Catherine welcomes back Dr. Jonathan Morrow, a true heavyweight in the world of apologetics and worldview training. With over 18 years equipping students and parents, Dr. Morrow is uniquely qualified to map out the storms facing our kids—and how you can help them stand strong. To unpack these seismic shifts, Jonathan digs deep into the five biggest challenges facing this generation. He doesn’t just identify headlines or surface trends—he gets to the heart of what’s shaping our kids every single day. In this episode, Dr. Morrow casts an unflinching light on what he calls the “cultural waves” crashing down on Gen Z and Gen Alpha: Digital Saturation & Distraction: Our kids are drowning in digital noise—a reality that shapes their minds and depletes their ability to reflect deeply on truth. “If Christianity never calls us to look different than the culture in which we’re in, we might want to reevaluate.” ~ Jonathan Morrow Scientism: Society treats the hard sciences as the only trustworthy source of truth, quietly nudging faith and morality out of the conversation. “If science is the only way you know something, guess what you can’t have knowledge of? Morality, spirituality, and history.” ~ Jonathan Morrow Relativism: “You do you.” In a world where truth is seen as subjective, our kids are tempted to believe there is no objective reality—just personal preference. Tribalism: Forget persuasion; today’s climate is about power and alliances. The result? A deeper us-vs-them mentality that threatens the unity Christ calls us to embody. The New Sexual Revolution: Cultural norms around sexuality and gender have been radically redefined—impacting even how our children understand themselves and others. Progressive Christianity: When secular ideologies get relabeled as Christian, children and teens may be drawn in by messages of acceptance and activism while losing sight of the Gospel’s transformative core. This episode isn’t just an exposé of what’s broken in our world—it’s packed with encouragement, powerful insights, and actionable wisdom that will help you and your kids become steadfast in faith. Don’t let culture catch your family off guard. Will you be a passive observer—or will you become the anchor your family needs? About the Guest:Jonathan Morrow holds master’s degrees in divinity and philosophy of religion and ethics, a doctorate in worldview and culture, and serves as Director of Cultural Engagement at Impact 360 Institute.

Someone asked if I felt less certain but more at peace with my faith, and it got me thinking. Maybe "peace" isn't quite right; perhaps it's more about patience and accepting what I can't control. My focus feels drawn to the essentials: being present with my family, teaching my kids, my work, and loving my people. Join me and Erin H. Moon, bestselling author, podcaster, and storyteller who helps people disentangle faith, as we discuss this complex topic. When it comes to big spiritual questions, I often find myself without definitive answers. Pretending otherwise feels inauthentic. I'm learning that it's about being honest about what I don't know and finding comfort in the relationship I do have.

Join us as we revisit this epic interview with John Dehlin and Carah Burrell, which originally aired on Carah's channel in 2023.Eve, a good friend of Carah Burrell's, was an active and faithful member of the LDS Church at the time of this interview. She had begun to question aspects of the Church—particularly polygamy—and agreed to sit down with Carah and John for a truly unique conversation. In this interview, they simply presented her with factual information about LDS history and captured her real-time reactions.This one-of-a-kind interview is now being shared on Mormon Stories Podcast for the very first time. Be sure to join us later this week as Eve returns to the podcast—this time with both of her parents, who have experienced their own faith journeys since Eve's original interview two years ago.Watch this episode on YouTube ⁠here⁠.___________________At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.
