“Send Coach John a message”I found this gem from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) and it is a short, yet powerful thought… “Consistency is the silent engine of extraordinary results.” Every day. Every way to just keep going!!  It's one of those things that again, nobody has to know about what you are doing or how often you are doing them. Those that love you will know without you even telling them. It's a reminder to me to keep doing what I have to do every day. It's a choice to keep showing up to do the things I know I have to do. It's my honor to keep being my best in being a dad, husband, son, uncle, brother, etc. I can't take any of those roles for granted. Wow.. love this thought!  Something to carry with us wherever we go!!   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this preseason interview filmed in Fiji, Emily Flippen reveals the internal struggle behind returning for the milestone 50th season. She breaks down her fascinating psychological reads on legends like Cirie Fields and Coach at Ponderosa, explaining why she's already picking up on a massive divide in energy between the icons of the game. From calling the back-to-back players from season 49 "psychos" to her ruthless decision to vote against the cast receiving rice, Emily discusses leaning into her reputation as a "physical liability" and how she plans to navigate a fast-paced game where she feels like a permanent underdog.

Gideon Jacobs returns to NM with his third essay in a trilogy for the LA Review of Books that tracks, in real-time, the American Political machine's delamination from everyday life through runaway story-drive. In “MAGA as Fan Fiction,” Gideon shows US politics both left and right as having become a read-write medium for collective creative expression more than material governance—a kind of kayfabe where ‘democracy' takes the form of citizens co-creating storyline with their elected officials and everyone in office has an IMDB profile. Carly & Lil Internet intro this ep with a short conversation drawing out themes across this trilogy that feel particularly NM Canon. “Of course, long before any advanced communication technologies, humans had been drawn not just to stories but also to the possibility of living as characters within them. Story's appeal had always been precisely that it's not like reality. […] a dream of existing free from the pesky flaws intrinsic to reality: uncontrollability, unpredictability, vulnerability, mundanity, complexity, incoherence, confusion, pain.” Audio production: Lil Internet For more:

“Send Coach John a message”Found a great post that I got some good reflections on. It came from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this was shared from James Clear: “Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.”  What was meant by this was a bit more in depth that helped me really connect to it.  “Work is endless. Exercise is endless. Parenting is endless. Same with marriage, writing, investing, creating, and more. You get to choose the parts of your life, but many of the important things in life cannot be “finished.”  Do not approach and endless game with a finite mindset. The objective is not to be done, but to settle into a daily lifestyle you can sustain and that allows you to make daily progress in the areas that matter.  Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.”  I love the thought of things in life not ever being finished - other than our last day. I challenge myself to keep learning new things every day I have.  You know, something just came to mind was Mitch Albom with his friend and producer, Lisa Goich - their recent “Tuesday People Podcast” (listen to it HERE) was all about changing our perspective of living each day as if it's our last and start living it as it can be our “first” of doing different things. Rather than focus on things we might lose or never have again, it's a unique mindset shift that I think connects with this post, where we keep looking to continue things and not have things that are finished. Cool stuff if you ask me. Very motivating to start changing my perspective. Hope it is for you too.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Does it feel like your child has read the same Dog Man book three times, and you're secretly panicked they've hit a plateau? Are you worried that their obsession with a specific series is just a way to avoid a "real" challenge? Today, we're flipping the script on "series addiction" and looking at why that repetitive reading is actually a dyslexic superpower in disguise. In this episode, I dive into the fascinating research that shows children are 60% more likely to retain new vocabulary through repeated exposure to familiar stories. We'll discuss how the "comfort zone" of a series actually frees up your child's brain to master deep comprehension and critical thinking without the exhaustion of constant decoding. Plus, I'm also tackling how to handle school pushback when teachers insist on "moving up" a level, and more. It's time to stop fighting the obsession and start leaning into the growth. Pull up a chair and let's talk about why your child's "safe place" series is really the key to building a lifelong reader! Would you like to understand reports, ask the right questions, and get schools to take you seriously?

My mini-course, From Lost to Empowered: How to Get Your Struggling Reader: The 3-Step Evaluation Request Blueprint for Parents of Struggling Readers, is available now! This 3-step evaluation request blueprint walks you through everything you need to know, from documenting concerns with the right details to writing the evaluation request letter with language that triggers legal timelines, to handling what to do when schools try to push you off, and so much more. You can break through the barriers NOW and get instant access at https://www.literacyuntangled.com/from-lost-to-empowered. Topics Covered: The "Series Secret" in action and what happens in my clinical sessions when a struggling reader finally discovers a series that "clicks [2:02] Why series reading is a literal superpower for the dyslexic brain [3:02] The big reasons you should prioritize your child's specific interests over arbitrary reading levels [5:16] How I use these books as high-value incentives in my practice to keep students engaged through the "heavy lifting" of literacy drills [6:33] What you can do to navigate school pushback and how to handle those frustrating conversations with teachers who claim your child "isn't challenging themselves” [7:16] Key Takeaways: Repetition is a retention powerhouse and reading the same series isn't "stalling" - it's a scientifically proven way to internalize language. A child's passion for a particular topic provides the "cognitive fuel" needed to tackle text that might otherwise be above their independent reading level. By using familiar characters, settings, and author styles, dyslexic learners can stop spending all their mental energy on decoding the basics and start focusing on deep comprehension and critical thinking.

In 2014, the Islamic terrorist organization Boko Haram kidnapped 276 girls from the small town of Chibok, Nigeria. One of the young women, Naomi Adamu, and her friends smuggled a Bible into captivity, and for seven years the Scriptures were a source of their strength to resist. Upon the hostages' release, Wall Street Journal reporters Drew Hinshaw and Joe Parkinson interviewed Naomi and many others for their book Bring Back Our Girls, and wrote a 2021 cover story for Christianity Today in which they shared the role that their faith played in their captivity. As Boko Haram continues to kidnap and displace innocent people in Nigeria and religious conflict abounds, this piece offers an account of the ways that God can be at work in the darkest places.

Amy and Kat are feeling excited and they have both been bitten by the ‘Courtney Cooks’ bug (like Weetabix dipped in chocolate and sweet potatoes with cheese). They break down why viral sensation Courtney Cook Bales has the internet hooked on her unconventional lunches and ponder why her content feels so safe and soothing. Amy also shares a recent book-and-movie spiral sparked by People We Meet on Vacation (the new Netflix movie). After watching the movie, she ordered 4 of Emily Henry’s books and cannot wait for them to arrive!
