Quitting at the right time takes more discipline than pushing to the top. Elite high-altitude mountaineer David Göttler talks with Joe De Sena about turning around 100 meters from Everest without oxygen, using fear as data at 8,000 meters, and why getting down is mandatory. They break down decision rules, ego control, endurance, and training mental toughness before the crisis hits.   Hard standards matter. Disciplined decisions wins. Resilience must hold when energy and clarity drop.   Things You Will Learn: How to set hard turnaround rules and keep them. How to use fear as a signal, not a weakness. How to train in discomfort so performance holds under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Pre-Set Rules: Decide at sea level. Execute at 8,000 meters. Hard Turnaround Time: Summit is optional. Getting down is mandatory. Discomfort Training: Train tired. Train cold. Train when you don't feel like it. If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   David Göttler's relationship with the mountains began in fear—at age ten, he froze in panic during his first climb and didn't return for three years, before choosing persistence over comfort and committing his life to the mountains.   Now an elite high-altitude mountaineer known for climbing light and fast without supplemental oxygen, he has summited multiple 8,000-meter peaks and learned that survival at the edge depends on discipline, self-awareness, and the strength to turn back when ambition threatens good judgment.   Connect to David: Website: https://david-goettler.de/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/david_goettler/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/David.Goettler.alpinist/?locale=es_LA  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@david_goettler    We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

I'm thinking about quitting my job without getting another job. The thought of doing this stresses me out, but my husband says that we would be fine on his income alone. Is he right?

Text a Message to the ShowHow do you know when to call it quits, especially if you're in the first half of your career?  It's incredibly difficult to give blanket advice because everyone and everyone's circumstances are unique and constantly changing.  For some officers, the best advice is wait a moment for the storm to pass.  For other officers it's time or maybe past time to get out.  Today we're talking to former deputy Josh Lively.  Josh started a promising career in law enforcement but soon discovered this might not be the career that fulfills his calling in life.  We're going to talk about the process of figuring out what to do when you're miserable as a police officer.  What does that mean?  How do you know what decision to make?  How far do you push it before you need to eject?My guess is that every police officer can sympathize with what you're going to hear Josh say.  But there are going to be distinct camps of listeners to this episode.  Those who hear Josh's story and  recognize it as their own.  And those who don't.  But I hope you listen to Josh's wisdom on this matter because we all know cops who need to stay and others for whom it is time to go.Josh's podcast is called the "Practically Christian Podcast"Music is by Chris Haugen and by Winking FoxHey Chaplain Podcast Episode 136Tags:Career, Calling, Chaplain, Decision Making, Depression, Faith, Family, Health, Mental Health, Ministry, Police, Quitting, Sheriff Deputy, Support, FloridaSupport the showThanks for Listening!

Quitting Weed Forced Me to Face Myself | Addiction, Faith & Rebuilding My Life”Running from yourself → Isolation → Facing addiction → God → Alignment → Becoming unstoppable n this episode, I open up about my journey through addiction, quitting weed, and the period of isolation that forced me to face myself.For a long time I was running — distracting myself, overconsuming, and avoiding the deeper work. Eventually I realized that no matter how far you run, you end up back with yourself.This conversation dives into reflection, reconstruction, and the process of rebuilding my life through faith, alignment, and gratitude.Topics in this episode include addiction, overconsumption, people pleasing, spiritual warfare, reconnecting with purpose, and learning to step into who you truly are.This episode is about facing yourself, rebuilding your identity, and becoming unstoppable.

For a long time, Aya thought quitting weed would fix her life.She believed sobriety would bring clarity, motivation, and direction that everything would suddenly make sense.But six months later, she's realizing something much deeper happened.Sobriety didn't save her.It forced her to finally meet herself.In this episode, Aya talks about what it has actually felt like to sit with her emotions without numbing them the grief that shows up in the mornings, the ways she realized she had been disconnected from her body, the fear of being alone with herself, and the realization that she had carried a quiet belief for most of her life that someone else would eventually come save her.What she's learning now is that no one is coming and strangely, that realization has been one of the most empowering parts of her healing.Aya also talks about the surprising part of letting go of an addiction: how the mind often tries to replace it with something else, and why learning to regulate the nervous system and sit with yourself is one of the hardest and most important parts of the healing process.If you've ever felt lost, disconnected, or afraid to sit with your own thoughts, this conversation will resonate deeply.If you're ready to begin reconnecting with yourself, Aya's Reset Guide is available now, and the next Reset Cohort will be opening soon.

Rebellious Success: Failure, Bigger Games, and Playing Full OutGuest: Toni Will | Host: Julie Riga | Stay On Course PodcastWhat if failure was your greatest leadership asset? In this bold and energizing episode, Julie Riga sits down with Toni Will, a two-time Guinness World Record holder, General Manager of the Kalamazoo Wings, TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and author of the upcoming book Rebellious Success. Toni brings contagious energy and hard-won wisdom to a conversation about competence, confidence, and what it truly means to step into your bigger game. She shares her framework for building self-trust through failure, explains why playing small keeps everyone around you stuck, and challenges listeners to declare a bigger game before they feel ready to do it.Rebellious Success: Failure, Bigger Games, and Playing Full OutAbout This EpisodeToni Will is a powerhouse leader who blends elite performance with hard-earned connection, proving that competence and community can coexist. As General Manager of a men's professional hockey team, a professional development coach, and a soon-to-be published author, Toni lives at the intersection of leadership, resilience, and authentic growth. In this episode, she and Julie dig into three transformative ingredients for success that challenge everything you thought you knew about failure, purpose, and personal evolution.Fun Fact: Toni's favorite food is sushi, anything from the grocery store all the way up to fresh-caught in Hawaii.Three Ingredients for SuccessInvite Failure to the Table: Failure is not the opposite of success. Quitting is. The failure resume asks you to write down everything you have walked through and survived. What emerges is not a record of loss but a portrait of resilience, self-trust, and wisdom. When you stop fearing failure and start inviting it, it becomes one of your greatest tools for growth, confidence, and transformation.Stop Playing Small: Because Someone Else Is Playing small to make others comfortable keeps everyone stuck, including you. Authentic leadership means showing up fully, reading the room with emotional intelligence, and never beginning from a diminished version of yourself. Rising tides lift all ships. Collaboration grounded in core values is always stronger than competition driven by fear.Declare a Bigger Game: Growth does not always mean moving up. Sometimes it means growing out. Every micro-decision you make each day either aligns with your next level or holds you back from it. Act from the next level now. Ask not only what something costs you to pursue, but what it costs you to stay exactly where you are.Memorable Quotes"The only time you are failing is when you quit trying." "Stop playing small because someone else is." "The story we tell ourselves about ourselves gets in the room before we do." "What is the cost if I do not do it? Because there is always a cost."Key TakeawaysBuild a failure resume and transform it into your record of courage and growthStop playing small. Full authentic presence is a leadership skillDeclare your bigger game before you feel ready and lead from that placeAlign your actions with core values to unlock clarity, confidence, and self-trustInvest in yourself.

JOIN THE 7 DAY RESET - ▶️ www.therebuiltman.com/7dayreset   One of the most common things married men tell me is this:   "My wife is my accountability partner."   On the surface, that might sound honorable. After all, she's the person most affected by the addiction.   But in reality, putting your wife in the role of accountability partner often creates more tension, more pressure, and more damage inside the relationship.   Because when your wife becomes the one responsible for monitoring your recovery, the marriage can slowly start to feel less like a partnership… and more like probation.   In this episode, I break down why this common approach backfires and what real accountability actually looks like for a man who wants to rebuild his life, his integrity, and his marriage.   If you're a married man struggling with porn addiction—or trying to rebuild trust after betrayal—this episode will help you understand the structure, brotherhood, and leadership required for real change.   In This Episode You'll Learn • The accountability mistake many married men make when trying to quit porn • Why making your wife your accountability partner can damage the marriage dynamic • How this dynamic can unintentionally kill attraction and trust in a relationship • The difference between transparency and responsibility • The 3 levels of accountability every man needs for real transformation • Why brotherhood and male accountability are essential for overcoming porn addiction • How to rebuild integrity and leadership as a husband     The 3 Levels of Accountability Every Man Needs Real transformation happens when these three levels work together:   1. Self Accountability Learning to keep your word and build discipline in the small daily habits that shape your identity.   2. Peer Accountability Surrounding yourself with other men who challenge your excuses, ask hard questions, and hold you to a higher standard.   3. Expert Accountability Getting guidance from someone who has helped hundreds of men break the cycle and rebuild their lives.   When these three levels work together, something powerful happens:   You stop trying to manage the addiction… and you start becoming the man who no longer needs it.   A Message for Married Men Your wife should absolutely be part of your journey.   But she shouldn't be responsible for managing your recovery.   She should be your partner in the life you are building, not the person trying to police your behavior.   When a man steps into real accountability and leadership, his wife doesn't have to carry that burden anymore.   Instead, she begins to experience the man he is becoming.   Ready To Break The Cycle? If you're ready to take the first step toward rebuilding your life and breaking free from porn addiction, join our Free 7-Day Porn Reset.   This challenge will help you: • Break the addiction cycle • Rewire your habits • Build real discipline and structure • Begin stepping into the identity of The Rebuilt Man

Most people hide their addiction until it destroys them — Kellan Fluckiger spent $3,000 a week on cocaine while testifying before Congress, then flatlined in an ICU and met God at the door. In this episode of The Root of All Success, Jason Duncan sits down with Kellan Fluckiger, a former energy executive turned coach, author of 30+ books, billboard-charting choir performer, and founder of The Ultimate Life Formula. After hiding cocaine addiction and depression for 30 years while working at the highest levels of government and industry, Kellan experienced a divine intervention in 2007, quit cold turkey, and walked away from millions in contracts. In 2018, he died in the ICU for 17 days — and what happened at that doorway changed everything. Kellan shares how severe childhood abuse created the “I'm not good enough” belief that fueled decades of overachievement and self-destruction, his 18-hour out-of-body life review of pain he caused and received, and the four truths God gave him about purpose and mission. This conversation dives into: • How childhood abuse created a lifelong “prove I'm good enough” addiction • Spending $3,000/week on cocaine while running energy operations and testifying before Congress • The 2007 divine intervention and 18-hour life review • Quitting cocaine cold turkey after hearing “it is enough” • Meeting his wife Joy at a Yo-Yo Ma concert when God said, “You need to marry this woman. Tonight.” • Walking away from millions in contracts without knowing what came next • The 2018 near-death experience: flatlining in the ICU for 17 days • Standing at the doorway with God and being asked, “Do you want to come home?” • A vision of infinite domains (like the movie Contact with Jodie Foster) • Four truths brought back from death: You're divine. You have a mission. You have gifts. Help is available. • Why God said “Because you don't believe,” when asked why people settle • The Book of Context framework for eliminating limiting beliefs • God's final question before returning: “Are you sure?” • How “context straitjackets” (BDEEP: Beliefs, Definitions, Experiences, Expectations, Perceptions) limit us • Why success isn't what you accumulate — it's what you make of yourself • His refusal to give up: “I friggin won't stop.” If you're battling hidden addiction, stuck in “not good enough” patterns, or wondering if transformation is possible after decades of pain — this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about redemption and purpose.

Staying the course when things are tough is a skill. I think you either have it or you don't. Chris Luxon will not get rolled, but he may quit. That would be a mistake of epic proportions. What would drive me, if I was him, would be rational thought. 1) This election is not about personality, it's about economic management. On that the Government are tracking well. 2) The internal polling within the National Party is fine. It does not reflect the Curia poll that the media made so much of. The unfortunate thing about Friday's pre-hyped release is it came at the same time Luxon had had a bad week on the war. That week by the way, was nowhere near as bad as some made it out to be. But the two events came together for a good week-end headline. 3) This would be the bit that would focus my mind - it's only Hipkins. Seriously, you're only lining up Labour as an opponent. On the economy. The people who wrecked the place two and a bit years ago are asking the voter to come back and do a bit more of it. You don't believe me? Read Thomas Coughlan's piece with Barbara Edmonds. 4) Even if you take the poll seriously, which you shouldn't. There is a one seat shift, so it's within a margin of error. 5) The economy will save you. You campaigned on a turnaround and the turnaround is real. Given we are voting on economics, the National leader is not a deal-breaker. If you are voting on interest rates and jobs, does Chris Bishop or Erica Stanford really change your view of your lot? They are good people and good talents, but they aren't game-changers and they won't get you a job any more than Luxon will. 6) Having done the hard yards, why quit now? The prize is just down the road and with a second term perceptions change. 7) The coalition as an operation is a success. Three parties have, and do, work well together. It's MMP in action. The alternative? Hipkins talking about a minority Government, a Green Party and extremism and a Māori Party that will not be back in anywhere near the numbers they have now. It's not a combo. This must all sit heavily with Luxon. How could it not? But that is what leadership is about. That is what you chased and bought into. If you think you will fail you will automatically be successful.

AWT's in‑person technical training is a keystone for developing competent water treaters. Yet classroom knowledge only matters when it survives the drive home and emerges later in the field. In this second conversation with Dan Merritt, CWT—National Sales Manager at CH2O Inc. and head of AWT's education committee—Trace Blackmore uncovers how stories, math, and memorable mistakes turn theory into intuition.  Why training keeps evolving  Dan explains that the Association of Water Technologies rewrites courses every year. Instructors refine content, delivery and demonstrations, not for novelty's sake, but because boilers and cooling towers rarely behave like textbook examples. Recognizing that multiple chemical reactions operate simultaneously helps prevent chasing the wrong problem. Updated program design and operations classes now bridge the gap between fundamentals and advanced topics. Specialized modules for sales, membrane/softener maintenance, ASSE 1280 compliance, and a two‑tier wastewater curriculum ensure that attendees can match coursework to their experience and role.  Lessons from experience: paperwork, PPE and people  Anecdotes ground the theory. Dan recounts losing his Certified Water Technologist status for five years after assuming an office manager filed his recertification paperwork. He re‑sat the exam in 2016 and now tells every candidate: verify your own paperwork. Another incident involved a sulfuric acid injection line that still held pressure; a line blew while he was replacing a fitting, covering his jeans in acid—his apron protected his torso, but he still had six‑inch holes in his pants. "Wear your PPE" is his first piece of advice to new technicians. Beyond safety, Dan highlights that water treatment careers demand communication and management skills. Technical strengths don't automatically translate into leadership; becoming a mentor and training others brings lasting fulfillment.    Developing a growth mindset For new practitioners, Dan recommends learning from whoever will teach you and embracing the "nerdy" parts of the job—math, chemistry and calculations translate directly into customer value. After the first year it's easy to plateau, so he urges veterans to intentionally take on new technologies such as wastewater treatment or chlorine dioxide and to share knowledge with younger colleagues. This industry can't be automated or offshored; field troubleshooting will always require hands‑on expertise. Even in sales roles, success comes from offering solutions grounded in a deep technical foundation.  Looking ahead  The episode closes with a call to prepare for AWT's upcoming training seminars (March 10–13 and November 11–14). Attendees should bring system data and be ready to teach one takeaway to their teams when they return. Scaling Up! H2O encourages listeners to invest in their careers, meet peers and instructors, and approach each technical challenge as an opportunity to raise the bar for the entire industry.

Quitting is the failure."  "The water treatment industry is not something that you can do remotely. There is always going to be the need for people to troubleshoot water systems."  "Being a mentor is a great way to take that experience that we have and translate it—to give it away to those in our company."  "Don't worry about making mistakes. We all make mistakes, and that's how you learn."  "I swore up and down that I would never be a salesman. Now I'm the sales manager because I realized that selling solutions grounded in technical knowledge isn't about pushing products—it's about helping people."    Connect with Dan Merritt, CWT  Email: dmerritt@ch2o.com   Website: .https://www.ch2o.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-merritt-cwt-18413819/.    Guest Resources Mentioned   Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't by Simon Sinek (Paperback)    The AI-Driven Leader: Harnessing AI to Make Faster, Smarter Decisions by Geoff Woods, AI Thought Leadership   The Accidental Superpower: Ten Years On by Peter Zeihan (Narrator, Author)   The Shattering Peace: Old Man's War, Book 7 by John Scalzi (Author), Tavia Gilbert (Narrator), Audible Studios (Publisher)  Education Offerings – AWT  Become Certified – AWT    Scaling UP!

This week's episode is a Q&A-style deep dive into common fitness questions that deserve more than a quick comment-section answer.Coach JK takes real questions pulled from social media and everyday coaching conversations and unpacks the nuance behind them. Topics include:• Is a two-hour workout actually productive, or just busy?• Why bodybuilding/bikini competitor style plans don't work for busy parents and entrepreneurs• What to do when you feel like quitting your fitness journey altogetherJK helps you understand how lifestyle, frequency, recovery, and real-world responsibilities change what “optimal” actually looks like. You'll hear practical examples of how to structure training when time is limited, why competitor protocols don't automatically translate to everyday life, and how to shift from all-or-nothing thinking when motivation dips.If you're tired of surface-level fitness answers and want clarity you can actually apply to your life, this one's for you.------Instagram: @coachJKmcleodEmail: JK@jkmcleod.com

Jessica Palacios was two semesters away from her nursing degree when she walked into a patient's room mid-clinical and found an elderly woman alone in the dark, covered in bed sores, on the wrong mattress, with photos of her family taped to her IV pump. When Jessica raised the alarm, her professor told her to worry about it when she was a real nurse. She sat in her driveway and cried for 30 minutes that evening. That one moment sent her on a decade-long journey through accounting, psychology, sociology, and business before a faculty advisor finally looked at her history and said, you should be in HR. What followed was a 20+ year career at the Texas A&M University System, where Jessica now serves as Associate Director of System Benefits Administration, overseeing healthcare and benefits for over 50,000 covered lives across one of the largest university systems in the United States. In this episode of Inspiring Women, host Laurie McGraw sits down with Jessica to unpack the full journey, the pivots, the promotions, the hard feedback, and the leadership lessons that only come from doing it the hard way. They discuss: The clinical experience that forced Jessica to walk away from nursing and what it still teaches her about advocacy today How she accidentally stumbled into benefits while working at Webb County before she even had her degree What it was like to be thrust into management early with no guidance and be told her tone was a problem The HR director who sat her down with emotional intelligence books and met with her every week until something shifted Why she believes benefits is the single greatest place in any organisation to change an employee's life outside of their paycheck How she now intentionally invests in her team's growth, certifications, master's degrees, vendor relationships and beyond Jessica Palacios is proof that the career you planned and the career you're meant for are rarely the same thing, and that a life spent in service to people can take more shapes than you ever expected.

Kerri Roberts, senior HR strategist and fractional CHRO, shares the strategic and psychological shifts she experienced leaving a Vice President of Operations role to build her consulting firm. After 20 years inside corporate systems — from 50 employees to 20,000 — she understood leadership, process, and performance. What she had to learn was entrepreneurial wiring.In this episode of Don't Waste the Chaos Podcast, Kerri outlines:The compensation identity shift from salary to revenue volatilityWhy negotiating a contractor bridge can stabilize your first yearThe mistake of recreating corporate overhead inside a consulting firmHiring before margin demands itThe difference between corporate competence and entrepreneurial tolerance for ambiguityThis is not a motivational “take the leap” conversation.

In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions: Hi, thank you for the podcast, I am long time listener, first time asker. Something weird is going on at my company. A colleague of my always wanted to get promoted to management, he got the opportunity, but after multiple preparatory meeting for this new promotion, HE QUIT! He did not tell what happened there, only that “it was time for something new”. Now several months later my skip level declared that he wants to be a developer again. Another manager was offered his position, which is a significant promotion (basically head of engineering), which he accepted, but after being included into high level meetings he declared that he is also QUITTING! We now have an interim Head of engineering, who declared that he is only doing this until a replacement is found. Why does no one wants to be in the management? What is happening at these meetings that people leave? Btw. the financial state of the company is not great, but not horrible, the CEO even declared that there won't be layoffs this year. So what's going on? I really like working at this company, but I can't shake the feeling after these events that I am up for a big surprise soon. Hi, I'm a senior dev at a megacorp. I'm struggling with AI. We've got a lot of initiatives around it and are expected to be using it with our work. The problem is every time I try to use it I get really frustrated. It feels like working with a junior dev who doesn't know the codebase well but knows lots of language/framework trivia. I also feel displeasure in my work turning into just reviewing some generated code and fixing it up. Especially, when you have to be very thorough because we all know that a single line of code can cause an outage. I just find no joy in this kind of work and am starting to have an aversion to it even when I just try to learn more about it. I'm also having a hard time teasing apart the hype from the reality. I'm either hearing that “the models are so great, this is the future, coding isn't a career anymore” or “this is hype, the bubble will burst soon and ruin everything.” Both of these outcomes seem kinda catastrophic but I have no idea which one to believe in (or maybe there's a 3rd option?). So, how do I overcome this aversion? How do I make sense of the hype vs. reality? How do I learn to stop worrying and love the slop? Thanks, Dr. Strangecode

Has an internet jerk ever told you to give up on houseplants because you clearly suck at the hobby? Well, after 30 years with my own plants and 12+ years in the industry, apparently it's time for me to quit. Or it would be if I listened to advice from some rando. So here's me telling you not to quit - even after you killed the third philo brandi and swear you'll never try again. Even after your whole collection gets mites because of that impulse calathea. Even after you forget another plant on that high shelf. And yes, even if someone is mean to you.

Joel Parkinson is a Gold Coast surfing icon; a CT standout with 11 CT wins, 3 Hawaiian Triple Crowns, 4 World Runner-Ups, the 2012 World Champion, and is globally-renowned as one of the most stylish and consistent competitors in modern surfing history.  In this year's first episode of The Lineup, he reflects on the journey that defined his career. Parko opens with the grassroots of Australian surfing, from Snapper Rocks Boardriders' 60+ year history to why club culture remains the backbone of the sport. He rewinds the tape back to when he was a young 11-year-old grom signing with Billabong for discounted boardshorts–and three decades later, still part of the team, a partnership that endured the ups and downs of brand-athlete relationships in surfing. He reveals how close he came to jumping ship to Rip Curl as a teenager, the jaw-dropping offer from Quiksilver in his early 20s, and why loyalty ultimately won.  Parko reflects on sharing a team with legends like Mark Occhilupo, Taj Burrow, and Luke Egan, and what it was like witnessing Andy Irons at his peak during the Blue Horizon era. He also shares the unforgettable story of Andy claiming the top room at the Billabong house in Hawaii—rankings be damned. The conversation shifts to life on Tour: traveling with his wife and kids long before it was common, the emotional toll of chasing a World Title while raising a family, and why his wife “deserves more of a World Title” than he does.  Parko opens up about nearly quitting in 2011 after a brutal New York event, how letting go reshaped his mindset, and the constant mental weight surfers carry when fighting for a Top 5. He dives into his rivalry and lifelong friendship with Mick Fanning and Dean Morrison, addresses the “style” narrative that followed him throughout his career, and gets deep into board talk—from early DHD days to his long partnership with JS Industries, including the mythical board that went 17 heats undefeated.

In this episode, Caroline shares why she thinks the PTA can be exhausting and why she finally quit. She explains how her immigrant parents (Cuban and Venezuelan) didn't understand the American school system and rarely showed up to her school events, which hurt her as a kid. As a mom now, she became extremely overprotective and tried to do everything her parents didn't do, including volunteering nonstop. She describes how she got pressured into school volunteer roles—art docent (even though she couldn't draw), then room parent, then joining the board and leading the school's biggest fundraiser gala. The situation escalated when she was called into a meeting because of an Instagram story where she expressed frustration about how a school issue was handled (without naming the school or teachers). She pushed back hard, questioned why staff were watching and sharing her content, and decided to leave the PTA and eventually the school. She reflects that the PTA politics, gossip, and pressure made her crankier and less happy, and that quitting made her a better mom and wife because her time with her kids became higher quality. She encourages listeners do what they love and stop dimming their light to fit in, and prioritize their own happiness while still being a good mom.Find Caroline: IG: https://www.instagram.com/shop.with.caroline/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@shop.with.carolineFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/beingcarolineSearch Looks: https://www.shop-with-caroline.com/Shop Merch: https://shop.dearmedia.com/collections/coming-in-hotMusic Credit: Nikka Costa – “It's Just Love”Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
