Most people don't quit because their idea is bad. They quit because it gets uncomfortable. And right now, too many creators and business owners are being told: “If it's hard… pivot.” “If it's slow… switch.” “If it's uncomfortable… leave.” But what if that advice is the exact reason you're stuck? In this episode, I sat down for a conversation about grit, ownership, staying in your lane, and why trying to be everything for everyone will quietly kill your growth. If you're frustrated with slow numbers… If you feel like you don't fit the “online business” mold… If you've been tempted to quit or pivot again… Listen to this. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why leaving when it gets hard might be your biggest mistake - The hidden cost of trying to serve everyone - When to protect your idea instead of promoting it - The difference between experimenting and being unfocused - Why ownership changes the way you lead, sell, and grow This is not about hacks. It's about who you become while building. And if you're serious about growth… this one will hit.

Allergies are more than just springtime sniffles—and they're affecting more people than ever. In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin, author of All About Allergies, to break down what's really going on in your immune system and what actually helps. You'll learn why hay fever is getting worse (and why climate change plays a role), the “3 pillars” approach to treating allergic rhinitis, when allergy shots make sense, and why blanket food allergy testing can do more harm than good. Plus, Dr. Rubin unpacks surprising—and very real—conditions like alpha-gal syndrome (a tick bite that can trigger a red meat allergy), aquagenic urticaria (hives from water), and why so many people mistakenly think they're allergic to penicillin. Practical, evidence-based, and packed with takeaways you can use right away—especially if allergies are disrupting your life or your family's.

I've long believed the unexpected should be what we expect. Even with the best plans, things can shift, sometimes without warning. Last year, I shut the podcast down, not long after promising The Sex Talk 2.0. Truthfully, I was very excited to bring that to you. Although nervous. Early in my career, I had made a promise with God that I would follow him into this territory, to which I never felt ready, as long as I never had to talk about sex. Obviously, God had different plans. I never imagined the first series would be such a hit, and as I was preparing for the second version, I started to question things. I didn't question whether the series was valid, but whether I had the knowledge and experience to bring it to life. The answer was no. At least not at the time. After recording a few podcasts for that series, I decided it wasn't the time. I needed space and my own experience before I could bring that to the world. I had things I needed to sort out on my own. So I shut down the podcast. In fact, I shut down a lot of things, never with the intent to quit, but with the intent to grow. The rebrand I didn't know I needed! Last year was a whirlwind in the best possible way. I really grew up, and that growth led me to redefine my health and re-establish my story. In this podcast, I share my journey, what I learned, and where I'm going. I've never been healthier. Yet at the same time, I've never been more confident that I'm not here to bring more knowledge but to inspire lived action. In this series, you'll hear a lot about my story and experience, offering you insight into approaching health differently. Join me as we relaunch the podcast in this new season, uncovering common health illusions. Join us "After The Show." After the show, I invited my husband on to share the real and very vulnerable question we tried to answer for The Sex Talk 2.0 that ultimately led to our break.

In this episode of Sex for Saints, I walk through the six stages of marriage and explain why so many couples feel stuck, disconnected, or ready to give up around stage three. I break down what each stage looks like in real life, from the honeymoon phase to frustration, growth, true love, and legacy, using real client stories to show what's actually happening beneath the conflict. We talk about why stage three feels like failure, how emotional triggers and unmet needs collide there, and why this stage is not a sign you married the wrong person but an invitation to learn new relationship skills. I also explain how emotional regulation, boundary setting, and clean communication move couples into deeper intimacy, passion, and long-term connection. If your marriage feels hard right now, this episode will help you understand where you are and what it takes to move forward together instead of drifting apart.

But most people don't know the story behind the brand.In this episode, Jeremy Ogorek sits down with Hans to talk about losing everything in a New York tech startup, moving back in with his mom, buying a van, and accidentally stumbling into a health brand that's now replacing every product in your bathroom — and soon, your pantry too. We also get into the "everything is a lie" awakening, why fluoride was his first red flag, what's actually in the products you put on your skin, and how he's now selling $6 grass-fed smash burgers out of a restaurant in Pacific Beach that keeps selling out.If you've been rethinking what you put on and in your body, this one's for you.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 01:25 – Van's background: CPA, quitting his first job, joining a NYC tech startup 05:15 – The startup collapse: $8M raised, celebrity investors, and losing everything 08:55 – Fluoride as the first red flag and the origin of the eggshell tooth powder 14:05 – How the tallow balm was born and why it went viral 19:00 – "Your skin is a mouth" — the philosophy behind Van Man products 21:25 – Product lineup: deodorant, sunscreen, bug balm, soap, shampoo, eye cream 30:30 – The Van Man restaurant in Pacific Beach: $6 grass-fed burgers 36:00 – The business model: restaurants, gas stations, and movie theaters as product "stunts" 43:25 – Other clean brands: Masa Chips, Orum, Rosie's Chips 53:00 – Vaccines, home birth, and the broader health awakening 57:00 – What's next: tallow popcorn, clean Snickers bars, cough drops, and an RFK collab1:04:15 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:Tallow isn't a trend — it's a return to what worked for thousands of years. People are reporting cleared rosacea, vanishing acne, and healed scars from a balm made of five ingredients you could eat. Meanwhile, the dermatologist-recommended steroid creams weren't solving the same problems in a decade.Your skin is your largest organ, and it absorbs what you put on it. If you wouldn't eat the ingredients in your lotion or deodorant, ask yourself why you're comfortable rubbing them into your skin — especially in high-absorption areas like your armpits.Fluoride was the first domino. It's the only non-opt-in medication — it's in your tap water, your toothpaste, and it's free. Once you ask why they care so much about your cavities, the rest of the questioning begins.The restaurant isn't really about the restaurant. Van Man Burgers in Pacific Beach sells $6 grass-fed smash burgers at near break-even. The real play is getting clean products in front of new customers. Every "stunt" — restaurant, gas station, movie theater — is a storefront for the mission.You don't need permission to start. Van went from credit card debt and a van to building a brand, a restaurant, and a product line — all by following his gut, tweeting his thoughts, and making products he wanted to use himself.

A conspiracy theory went viral claiming that on August 12th, 2026, Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds. The internet did what the internet does, and millions of people started talking about it. So we decided to take the question seriously — what the if gravity actually clocked out for seven seconds? Let's just say you might want to start shopping for bungee cords now. And maybe a bouncy castle.

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

Feb 12, 2026: In this episode of Future-Ready Today, I break down four major stories that reveal how the workplace is recalibrating in 2026. Ford is boosting companywide bonuses to 130% after major quality improvements — a clear signal that performance discipline is back. At the same time, 60% of Gen Z say they plan to pursue skilled trade careers, challenging the long-standing college-to-corporate pipeline. I also dive into a new Harvard Business Review study showing that AI isn't reducing workloads — it's intensifying them. Employees are working faster, taking on broader responsibilities, and extending their hours, often voluntarily. And as AI adoption accelerates, safety leaders at major AI firms are quitting, raising deeper questions about ethics, speed, and institutional trust. If you're a leader trying to understand compensation strategy, talent shifts, productivity pressure, and cultural tension in an AI-accelerated world, this episode is for you.
Can I Moderate? Why This Question Matters More Than We Talk About For most of my recovery journey, I held a pretty firm belief: If you're questioning your drinking, the answer is probably abstinence. That belief came from both lived experience, as well as observing other people who struggle with alcohol. Personally, I never drank normally. From the very first drink, the switch flipped on—and it stayed on. I hit a hard bottom early, and after years of trying to moderate, the answer for me was clear: I could not moderate. As it turned out, for me abstinence meant freedom. And still… Over time, something softened in me. Not because I changed my relationship with alcohol—but because I started listening more closely to other people's experiences. The Question Everyone Has to Answer for Themselves I've come to believe this: "Can I moderate?" is not a denial question. It's a developmental one. For many people, it's the pivot point of their entire recovery journey. Some people answer it quickly. Some answer it painfully. Some don't answer it until years—sometimes decades—later. But skipping the question doesn't make it disappear. And that's why my conversation with Nick Allen, CEO and co-founder of Sunnyside, felt so important. Nick grew up in an AA household. Both of his parents are in long-term recovery. He understands abstinence deeply—and still, his own relationship with alcohol took a different path. Instead of waiting for a crisis, he began asking a quieter question early on: What does a healthy relationship with alcohol look like for me—right now? That question eventually became Sunnyside: a platform designed to help people explore change before things fall apart. The Missing Middle Here's the reality I see again and again: Most people are offered two options: Figure it out Quit forever And when those are the only choices on the table, a huge number of people choose to keep trying to figure it out. Not because they're reckless. Not because they don't care. But because abstinence can feel overwhelming, stigmatizing, or premature—especially for people who are still functioning "well enough." Research suggests there's often a 10-year gap between when alcohol becomes a problem and when someone seeks help. Ten years. Think about what happens in ten years: Careers strained Health eroded Relationships damaged Kids absorbing instability they can't name yet Waiting is not neutral. Why Willpower Isn't the Answer One thing Nick and I aligned on immediately: Willpower is a terrible long-term strategy. Willpower is finite. It's lowest at the exact moments people need it most: After a long day During stress At the witching hour (5–7pm) On Fridays when it's "been a week" Sunnyside takes a different approach: Decisions are made ahead of time, when clarity is high Habits are supported with structure, not shame Accountability is externalized, not moralized This is how real behavior change works. A Word About Naltrexone (And Nuance) We also talked openly about naltrexone, a medication that's been FDA-approved for decades to help reduce alcohol cravings. Here's what matters: It doesn't make people sick It doesn't require abstinence It reduces the reward loop that drives compulsive drinking I've had clients use it successfully—particularly high-functioning people who struggled with the "off switch," not daily drinking. But for people earlier in the process—people quietly wondering, "Is this still working for me?"—tools like this can interrupt years of silent suffering. Language Matters More Than We Think One of the most powerful parts of this conversation was about vocabulary. Words like addict, alcoholic, relapse, recovery—they carry weight. For some people, they offer clarity and belonging. For others, they create shame, fear, and avoidance. If the language feels too heavy, people wait. Sunnyside intentionally avoids labels and instead talks about: Alcohol overuse Habit change Awareness Experimentation That shift alone can make change feel possible. Where I Land Now I'm still sober and have no desire to drink again. I still believe abstinence is the right path for most people who struggle with alcohol. And I also believe we need earlier, gentler, more honest entry points into change. The goal of sobriety—or moderation, or reduction—isn't the absence of alcohol. It's: Freedom Health Presence A life that actually works If someone can get there sooner, with less damage along the way, I'm all for it. Action Steps If this resonated, here are a few grounded next steps: Ask the question honestly Is alcohol adding to my life—or quietly taking from it? Move from judgment to curiosity You don't need a label to run an experiment. Plan ahead of cravings Decisions made in advance beat willpower every time. Seek support early Coaching, tracking, community, and medical tools are preventative—not last resorts. Protect what already works If abstinence is serving you, honor that. No need to second-guess stability.

Hey guys,Today's episode is one that I didn't even fully plan — it was born out of a walk around a track, watching people, thinking about life, thinking about attitude, thinking about purpose.And I want to ask you something right out of the gate:Who's waiting for you on the other side of your obedience?Because here's what I know — one of the biggest predictors of life expectancy isn't diet.It's not exercise.It's not even genetics.It's purpose.It's having a why.It's having something that pulls you out of bed in the morning because someone needs you to show up.In this episode, I share the powerful story of Viktor Frankl — a Holocaust survivor who lost everything. His manuscript. His freedom. His family. His name. And yet, he discovered something that can't be taken from any human being:The freedom to choose your attitude in any given circumstance.You can't control what happens to you.But you can always control how you respond.And I contrast that with real-life moments I've witnessed — people who've walked through immense pain yet carry light… and others who seemingly “have it all” but live in constant complaint.The difference?Attitude.Purpose.Gratitude.We talk about:Why complaining is a public declaration of defeatHow gratitude literally rewires your perspectiveThe danger of “give-up-itis”Why storms are seasonal, not permanentHow your purpose acts as drag power to pull you forwardAnd how an unexamined life leads to frustrationAnd I'll tell you this…If you're walking through hell right now — this episode is for you.Because storms always end.But bitterness can last a lifetime if you let it.You are needed.Your perspective matters.And someone is waiting on the other side of your obedience.Tie your kite string to your why — and let it pull you forward.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – The real predictor of longevity: purpose01:30 – Attitude makes the difference in how people endure pain02:20 – “Quit complaining” and what it really reveals03:10 – A life lived on purpose until the very end04:15 – Viktor Frankl and the decision that changed everything05:30 – Honor your father and mother: the visa decision06:20 – “Give-up-itis” inside concentration camps07:10 – He who has a why can endure almost any how08:00 – Rewriting a future inside a nightmare09:00 – “What's waiting for you on the outside?”10:15 – Why the world is waiting for your unique DNA11:10 – 12 million lives changed by one man's pain12:10 – The last human freedom: choosing your attitude13:20 – Gratitude as a daily discipline14:00 – Foster's attitude shift moment in the car15:30 – You can't control events — only your response16:15 – If you're walking through hell, shift your lens17:15 – Everything that shows up is here to evolve you18:00 – An unexamined life is a frustrated life19:00 – Tie your kite string to your why20:00 – Who's waiting on the other side of your obedience?Be intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert. It has since grown into full scale concerts across Europe. On January 31 the Rockin 1000 played their first concert in America, in New Orleans, and I was part of the band. Let me tell you the story."
Should Riot Games remove franchising from League of Legends? In this episode of The Four Horsemen, Monte, Thorin, Richard Lewis, and Guest Horseman/esports attorney Harris Peskin break down why franchising was created, what the teams actually demanded from Riot, how Overwatch League accelerated the timeline, and why dissolving franchising today would be far more complicated—and far more damaging—than many fans realize. We also cover the recent 2XKO news and the flawed arguments in The Wooloo article calling for franchising to be removed. NOTE: The opening line of this episode was re-recorded due to an error.

After 12 years as the Work Futurist at Atlassian, Dom Price made the decision to leave a role so intertwined with who he was that even introducing himself meant saying those two things in the same breath. In this episode, Dom and I explore the human side of change - the fog, the discomfort, the loss of structure, and the surprising freedom that comes when you finally say out loud, “I don’t know yet.” Dom walks me through the reflection process that led to this moment, how he’s sitting with uncertainty rather than trying to outrun it, and the identity untangling that comes with stepping away from a global brand. We also dive into what he’s seeing inside boardrooms right now, why so many leaders are struggling to adapt to AI, and the mindset shift that separates those who thrive from those who wait it out. Dom and I discuss: The realisation that it was time for change - even without knowing what came next How Dom uses the “five Ls” every 90 days to check in on what’s working and what’s not The emotional rollercoaster of losing structure, status, and the adrenaline of a big corporate role How trusted friends helped Dom challenge his assumptions and experiment with “trying before buying” in his next chapter What leaders are getting wrong about AI and transformation - and the three patterns Dom sees repeatedly in boardrooms The human side of tech change and why organisations must upgrade their human systems, not just their technical ones Why productivity gains don’t matter unless you know how to reinvest the time The leadership behaviours that matter most in times of rapid change KEY QUOTES “Even though it was just one word, it felt like the wrapper around my whole identity.” “I had to say out loud, I’m okay not knowing what that is — and that was the hard bit.” “When you take away those foundations, it’s like a shot of discomfort I hadn’t felt for a long time.” Connect with Dom Price on Instagram, LinkedIn and his website.

A hearty chat with Alison Bowen escalates quickly... I mean you can't escalate a whole lot more than the Mount Everest Summit, hey!? Quite an understated lass, Alison has been in the midst of her Seven Summits journey, which started not with Everest glory, but with joining a Rover group, doing weekend hikes, getting curious, and slowly chipping away at bigger and higher mountains over nearly two decades. What I loved most about this chat was how unromanticised it was. This wasn’t about chasing adrenaline, making noise or proving anything. It was about curiosity, patience, commitment, and sticking with something long enough to see where it might take you. Even when that something eventually takes you to the highest bloody mountain on the planet. She's got two more to tick off the list this year and next... now she's opening the door for you to follow along, so go on get inspired! Oh yeah… we also had a full tech meltdown mid-chat, which honestly felt on brand. Mountains are hard. Zoom is harder.

Every year starts the same way: new goals, new motivation, and a fresh commitment to fitness. But within a few months, many people feel like they're starting over again. If you've ever wondered why people quit their fitness goals, this episode is for you. In this episode of Beast Over Burden, Niki Sims and Andrew Jackson break down the real reasons motivation fades and why extreme goal-setting often leads to burnout instead of long-term progress. They explore the common cycle of starting strong, losing momentum, and restarting over and over — and how to finally break that pattern. You'll learn why motivation isn't the problem, how all-or-nothing thinking sabotages progress, and why sustainable habits matter more than short bursts of intensity. This conversation dives into practical strategies for building routines that fit real life, reducing decision fatigue, and making consistency easier to maintain year-round. If you've ever struggled with staying consistent or felt frustrated by restarting your fitness journey, this episode will help you understand why people quit their fitness goals and how to build a plan that actually lasts. In this episode, we cover: • Why motivation fades after the New Year • The hidden problem with extreme fitness challenges • How "all-or-nothing" thinking leads to burnout • The power of small decisions and sustainable habits • How to stop restarting your fitness journey This episode is about building a fitness lifestyle that lasts — not another short-term burst of motivation.

Turning Adversity Into Vision, Power, and Purpose Kijuan Amey is not just a speaker — he is living proof that resilience can transform tragedy into purpose. What Happens When You Refuse to Quit. Born and raised in Durham, North Carolina, Kijuan's journey began with discipline and determination. After graduating from Southern High School, he proudly served 10 years in the United States Air Force as an In-Flight Refueling Specialist, rising to the rank of Staff Sergeant. Even after a medical retirement, his drive never slowed. He pursued higher education, founded Kiwi Enterprise LLC, and continues to serve in leadership roles — including Vice President of the Carolina Regional Group of the Blinded Veterans Association and mentor/ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program. Beyond leadership, Kijuan is a creative force — a drummer with over two decades of experience, an on-stage performer, and the author of his upcoming book, Don't Focus on Why Me. His life was accelerating toward success… Then everything changed. On May 5, 2017, a motorcycle accident took Kijuan's eyesight. But it did not take his vision. "I may have lost my sight," he says, "but I did not lose my vision." That moment became the turning point of a powerful new mission. Today, Kijuan stands as a motivational force — empowering people to rise above adversity, redefine their limits, and reclaim their purpose. Whether addressing an audience of 1,500 or guiding individuals one-on-one, he delivers authenticity, strength, and inspiration that stays with people long after he leaves the stage. Inspiring Others Through Relentless Determination Kijuan Amey's message has reached audiences across the country and around the world. Through his speaking engagements, he ignites hope, courage, and belief in those facing their own battles. His story reminds us that obstacles are not endings — they are invitations to grow stronger. Overcoming Challenges Kijuan's journey is not defined by loss — it is defined by victory. He refuses to let disability limit his impact. Instead, he demonstrates what is possible when grit meets purpose. His message is simple yet life-changing: No matter the challenge, perseverance creates opportunity. Kijuan Amey is more than a survivor. He is a motivator, a leader, and a living example of unstoppable vision. https://ameymotivation.com/ motivation, resilience mindset, overcoming adversity, inspirational speaker, vision and purpose comeback story, mental toughness, personal growth journey, rise after setback, turn pain into power, unstoppable mindset, life transformation, self belief, perseverance story, strength through struggle, purpose driven life, motivational journey, overcoming obstacles, mindset shift empowerment story #motivation #resilience #comebackstory #mindsetmatters #overcomingadversity #inspirationdaily #unstoppable #personalgrowth #riseabove #mentalstrength #purpose #selfbelief #nevergiveup #motivationaljourney #strengthmindset #empowerment #vision #growthmindset #lifecomeback #motivationalvideo

Then it spirals into the modern annoyances nobody asked for, like updating your iPhone and suddenly every app decides it needs to re-download like it's starting a brand-new life. From there, the conversation turns into a full-on roast session about getting older: random injuries, gray chin hairs, knees that file complaints the second you try to play Barbies, and the very real realization that your body is disrespectful on purpose. But the main event is the episode's theme: substitute teaching. The hosts break down the different types of subs (drill sergeant, timid, overly-friendly, retired teacher legend), the schools subs learn to avoid, and why a good sub should be treated like VIP because the entire system depends on them. And yes, there's an unforgettable story about a fourth grader delivering a roast so brutal it belongs on the comedy tour. They also get real about teacher stress, using PTO without guilt, lesson plans that nobody actually follows, and why education has become so overwhelming that even "a normal day" can feel like chaos.
