Former England international James Haskell joins Performance People for an unfiltered, honest conversation about elite sport, identity, leadership and life after rugby.Haskell reflects on the defining moments that shaped his career, from an unlikely England call-up that changed everything, to the brutal honesty of international environments where high performance is non-negotiable. He speaks candidly about learning to block out external noise, why Googling yourself can be a form of self-harm, and how early experiences with criticism and therapy reshaped his mindset long before conversations around mental health were mainstream.The episode explores what team culture really looks like at the highest level: why different personalities matter, how leaders earn respect, and the balance between discipline, individuality and accountability. Haskell also opens up about retirement, reinvention, and the challenge many athletes face when the structure of professional sport disappears.Now juggling podcasting, music, business ventures and fatherhood, he explains why growth doesn't stop when sport ends, and why success, in any field, depends on self-awareness, honest feedback and taking responsibility for your own standards.Reloaded – The Good, The Bad and The Rugby by Alex Payne, James Haskell and Mike Tindall is available now (HarperNonFiction).

What if the most overlooked health intervention isn't a supplement… a biohack… or a protocol? What if it's the structure you live inside? In this deeply personal solo episode, Darin shares the seven-year journey of rebuilding after losing everything, and why this new home isn't just a house, it's a biological experiment in sovereignty. From fire resilience and toxic-free materials to grounding floors, EMF elimination, circadian lighting, and water independence, this episode breaks down the science and intention behind designing a "Fatal Convenience–Free" home. This is about more than architecture. It's about reclaiming your environment as a health intervention. In This Episode Why over 90% of California wildfires start from human infrastructure — and how to build for fire resilience The hidden toxins inside modern homes: formaldehyde, VOCs, flame retardants, particle board Why indoor air is 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air (EPA data) Why formaldehyde is a Group 1 carcinogen — and still used in building materials Steel framing, magnesium oxide walls, and hempcrete exterior — and the science behind each Water sovereignty: whole-house filtration, well water testing, pharmaceutical removal Eliminating WiFi and RF exposure with fully hardwired infrastructure Grounded copper-integrated flooring and the emerging science of earthing Solar redundancy and energy independence Circadian-aligned incandescent lighting to restore melatonin and sleep architecture Biophilic design and using fallen oak trees from the fire for untreated interior finishes Organic furniture free from PFAS, flame retardants, polyurethane foam Why your home may be the most powerful nervous system regulator in your life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Plastic waste, fatal conveniences, and Bite toothpaste solution 00:02:48 – The solo episode: rebuilding after losing everything 00:03:30 – The most overlooked health intervention: your home 00:05:30 – Fire zones, ember exposure, and structural ignition science 00:07:00 – Steel framing and magnesium oxide walls explained 00:08:00 – Hempcrete and fire-resistant exterior systems 00:10:30 – Building biologists and probability management 00:13:40 – Indoor air pollution and EPA data 00:14:40 – Formaldehyde as a Group 1 carcinogen 00:15:30 – Eliminating composite woods and VOC sealants 00:16:45 – Mold-resistant building science 00:17:50 – EMF elimination, hardwired ethernet, no WiFi home 00:20:00 – Prefab SuperLife guest house concept 00:20:20 – Copper-integrated grounding floors 00:21:00 – The science of earthing and blood viscosity 00:22:10 – Water sovereignty and whole-house filtration 00:23:00 – Gray water and microbiological waste remediation 00:23:45 – Solar redundancy and energy independence 00:24:20 – Circadian lighting and melatonin suppression research 00:25:45 – Biophilic design and reclaimed oak interiors 00:27:00 – Organic furniture and eliminating endocrine disruptors 00:27:50 – Reinvention after loss: reducing biological stressors 00:29:00 – Architecture of biology and intention for the next chapter     Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

The walls, the lighting, the water, the wiring, the materials, the air… they are all inputs into your biology. Health isn't just what you eat. It's what surrounds you. This isn't about perfection. It's about reducing the biological stress load — and building a life aligned with sovereignty, intention, and nature."

Eighteen years in, and we're still in the middle of reinvention. From starting Hilliard Studio Method in borrowed spaces to navigating real estate pressure and big-city change, this conversation gets honest about what it takes to build a business rooted in community; not ego or profit. We talk about aging without apology, trusting yourself when the noise gets loud, and why protecting the people who make your business what it is will always come first. If you're building something from the heart and refusing to let fear run the show, this one's for you.   Local Charlotte Businesses You Can Support: Supperland – A Plaza Midwood restaurant in a restored church, run by Jeff Tonidandel & Jamie Brown, who invest in community and historic preservation Laurel Market – A beloved neighborhood deli and market with decades of Charlotte history, now entering a new chapter as it relocates after 35+ years Bond Street Wines – A local wine shop and tasting room that brings people together over thoughtfully curated bottles and community events   3 Truths About Building a Community-Driven Business: Lead with impact first, and let the money catch up. The strongest businesses aren't built by chasing profit; they're built by solving real problems for real people. When your work genuinely improves lives, financial success becomes a byproduct, not the goal. Reinvention is part of longevity, not a sign of failure. Every long-lasting business will be forced to evolve, by aging, markets, or circumstances beyond your control. The key isn't avoiding change, but adapting without abandoning the values that made your business matter in the first place. Community doesn't live in a building, it lives in trust. Spaces may change and platforms may shift, but people stay where they feel seen! Whether in person or online, consistency, care, and connection are what turn customers into a community.  

Creativity is not just something we do — it's something we follow. In this episode of The Well Woman Show, host Giovanna Rossi sits down with writer and filmmaker Giovanna Capone for a reflective conversation about creativity as a guiding force, cultural memory, and the courage to be seen. Giovanna Capone shares her journey from public librarian to documentary filmmaker, and how her film Finding the Italians: A Granddaughter's Journey grew out of a longing for cultural connection after moving from New York to California. What began as academic research became a deeply personal story about ancestry, belonging, and voice. In this episode, you'll discover: How to organize your life around creativity while managing financial pressures and multiple responsibilitiesWhy "going slowly is okay as long as you don't stop"—and how to keep moving forward at your own paceThe role of women as culture-keepers and storytellersHow to push back against fear and anxiety instead of letting them become your defaultWhat happens when you proceed even when you're not sure—and why your gut knows more than you thinkWhy telling your personal story creates healing not just for you, but for everyone who hears itWhat it means to trust yourself when visibility feels uncomfortable This episode is a powerful reminder that when women trust their intuition, tell their stories, and move at a humane pace, they create work that sustains joy and leaves a lasting impact. ✨ Ease in finally letting go of the pressure to be "practical" all the time—which frees you to make decisions that honor your creative truth, organize your days around what lights you up, and accept that managing multiple responsibilities doesn't mean abandoning what matters most ✨ Joy in reconnecting with your roots and discovering the richness of where you come from—in interviewing elders and hearing their stories—in watching audiences spontaneously share their own family histories because you gave them permission to remember ✨ Impact by preserving voices that have been overlooked or erased from mainstream narratives—by using creativity to educate and inspire—by proving that ordinary people's contributions matter—and by showing that telling your story creates ripples of healing far beyond yourself ✨ Self-trust in proceeding even when you're not sure, even when you have no formal training, even when you're scared—in believing that your gut knows what you're doing—in pushing back against fear instead of letting it run your life—and in trusting that the story you can't stop thinking about is the one you're meant to tell

Today's guest is Iantha Richardson, a talented American actress whose journey from Washington, D.C. to our screens is rooted in artistry, resilience, and intention. Trained as a dancer with a BFA from Fordham University: The Ailey School, Iantha began her creative path through movement before transitioning into acting. She landed her first major role on This Is Us and went on to captivate audiences as Tessa Lorraine in American Soul. Her breakout performance as Faith Mitchell on ABC's hit series Will Trent highlights her ability to bring depth, strength, and humanity to a character navigating loyalty, identity, and integrity within a male-dominated profession. Beyond acting, Iantha is also a writer, director, and producer, driven by a desire to “control the narrative” and elevate meaningful stories from underrepresented perspectives. In this conversation, we explore her creative evolution, the courage it takes to pivot careers, and how intention plays a central role in both her art and life. Whether she's stepping into complex roles on screen or building stories behind the camera, Iantha brings thoughtfulness, ambition, and vision to everything she creates. ✨ In this episode, we discuss: Transitioning from dance to acting Navigating the entertainment industry with purpose Representation and storytelling from underrepresented voices What it means to control your own narrative Creating art with intention and integrity This episode is a reminder that your path doesn't have to be linear, and that owning your story is a powerful act.

Send a textFor the 100th episode of In The Suite, I'm sitting down with the woman who made the very first power move in my life — my mother, Joanne Sutera.Long before there were downloads in over 133 countries, before sponsors, before a microphone ever turned on, there was one listener. Her. She believed in this work before there was proof it mattered.Joanne's life is a masterclass in reinvention. She grew up the oldest of nine children in a chaotic household and went on welfare as a teenager. At 18, she left home. At 19, she boarded a bus to New York with $30 in her pocket and no clear roadmap. She became a single mother and sole provider, put herself through nursing school, and later returned to earn her bachelor's degree as an adult student determined to see the world through an educated lens.Over the decades, she built careers in healthcare, entrepreneurship, and international business. She worked inside small, privately held companies, ran operations in a high-end salon, handled international sales, and later taught computer classes aboard an international cruise line. Retirement didn't slow her down. It marked another reinvention — this time as a published poet and longtime docent at Grounds For Sculpture.This conversation is about education as an exit strategy, reinvention at every stage of life, and the courage to leave situations that no longer serve you. It's about resilience as a daily practice, not a personality trait. And it's also about walking through one of the hardest chapters of our lives together as I navigate lung cancer, choosing to stay engaged, creative, and present in the middle of uncertainty.If you are navigating change, considering a bold move, or wondering whether it's too late to start again, this episode is for you.Thank you for being here for 100 episodes.

There comes a moment in many leadership journeys when all the behaviors that once drove success—working harder, stepping in faster, proving competence—suddenly stop delivering the same results. You're still capable. Still committed. Still responsible. And yet, something feels off. In this episode, Janet explores that often-unspoken turning point and why it's not a failure, but a call to a deeper kind of leadership.This conversation is about the inner shift required as leaders move into higher levels of responsibility. Janet unpacks why leadership effectiveness evolves from visible execution to discernment, presence, and judgment, and how learning to pause, sense, and respond intentionally becomes a defining edge. This is an invitation to outgrow what no longer fits and lead from clarity instead of habit.In this episode:✅ Why working harder eventually stops being the answer✅ The invisible shift from execution to judgment at senior levels✅ How micromanagement often signals a deeper leadership transition✅ The power of pausing instead of reacting✅ Asking “What is needed here?” instead of “What should I do?”✅ The difference between habitual action and intentional response✅ How leadership presence deepens through discernment, not control✅ Why maturity in leadership often feels uncomfortable at firstAbout Janet Ioli:Janet Ioli is a globally recognized executive advisor, coach, and leadership expert with over 25 years of experience developing leaders in Fortune 100 companies and global organizations.She created The Inner Edge—a framework, a movement, and a message that flips leadership from mere success performance to presence; from ego to soul. Through her keynotes, podcast, and programs, Janet helps high-achievers find the one thing that changes everything: the mastery within.Her approach redefines leadership presence—not as polish or tactics, but as the inner steadiness people feel from you and the positive imprint you leave on individuals and organizations.Chapters00:00:00 When More Stops Working00:03:30 From Doing To Judging 00:06:17 Shifts for Intentional Leadership Connect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @leadershipcoachjanetIf you want to become more grounded, confident, and aligned with your deeper values in just 21 days, check out Janet Ioli's book Less Ego, More Soul: A Modern Reinvention Guide for Women.

What does it mean to truly belong — to a place, to a community, or even to yourself? On this episode of Back to Life, Danny sits down with Marina Baronas, a storyteller of belonging whose life has crossed borders of culture, language, and identity. Raised in Lithuania, Russia, and Azerbaijan, Marina inherited a deep understanding of hospitality — not as a job, but as a way of being. After immigrating to the United States at nineteen, she built a career in restaurants, hotels, and leadership, discovering that true service is less about transactions and more about presence. Through motherhood, migration, reinvention, and resilience, Marina learned that "home" is not a destination — it's a daily practice of returning to yourself. Together, Danny and Marina explore: What it means to belong in seasons of transition How hospitality becomes a leadership philosophy The power of presence in a distracted world Carrying hope and identity through change This conversation is a reminder that resilience isn't always loud. Sometimes it's the quiet decision to keep showing up — to yourself and to others — with tenderness, courage, and an open heart. If you've ever felt in-between places, roles, or identities, this episode is for you. Check out her book, here.  Marina's website: https://www.marinabaronas.com/

Reinvention isn't a comeback montage; it's a messy rebuild in public. We brought Maven on to talk about how he turned a “Tough Enough” tag he could never shake into a media brand built on candor, craft, and community. From going viral on YouTube within months to taking bumps on thumbtacks just to explain how the magic works, he breaks down the strategy behind the growth: make YouTube videos that happen to be about wrestling, not wrestling videos awkwardly uploaded to YouTube.We trace the arc from early locker room heat to earning respect through work with The Undertaker and veterans who judged him on how he treated people and performed in the ring. Maven opens up about living under labels, why he stopped seeking permission, and how telling the truth—politely or bluntly—wins over audiences even when it ruffles peers. He shares the episode with Enzo that never aired, the night he borrowed Batista's suit when his custom one didn't show, and the reality of Randy Orton's once-in-a-generation instincts paired with youthful volatility. There's RVD lore, too, and a confession about losing a round to the legend's tolerance.We also get practical about the business side fans feel in their wallets: ticket prices that price out families, short-circuiting the pipeline that made so many of us fans in the first place. Maven argues for affordability, smarter demographics, and creating spaces where fathers, mothers, and kids can build memories without breaking the bank. And for wrestlers eyeing life after the ring, he lays out a blueprint for owning your story: collaborate widely, serve the audience first, bring receipts, and respect the platform.If you love wrestling storytelling with honesty, humor, and real insight into YouTube growth, audience building, and fan-first thinking, this conversation hits the sweet spot. Listen, share it with a friend who loves the business, and if it resonated, subscribe and leave a review so more fans can find it.Send a text

Legend Tarver went from graduating with a degree to serving time in federal prison, learning the hard way how choices, survival, and consequence intersect in the criminal justice system. Two weeks into his sentence, he found out his then-girlfriend, Amanda, was pregnant, and the couple endured separation, hardship, and the challenges of incarceration while growing their family. Drawing strength from the more than 300 handwritten letters they exchanged behind bars, Legend and Amanda turned their experience into purpose by co-founding 300 Letters, a nonprofit dedicated to treating incarceration as a family affair and helping justice-impacted families heal, stay connected, and rebuild after prison. In this episode, Legend opens up about how he ended up in prison, how that time shaped his life and fatherhood, and how he's working now to change the narrative for others who've faced similar struggles. _____________________________________________ #FederalPrison #PrisonStory #FormerInmate #PrisonLife #TrueCrimePodcast #LifeAfterPrison #InmateStories #lockedinwithianbick _____________________________________________ Thank you to GOLD DROP SELTZERS for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://www.thedryoak.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout for 10% off your order. _____________________________________________ Connect with Legend Tarver: Website: https://300letters.org/ Instagram & Tiktok: @IAMLEGENDFITNESS @300LETTERS @TRUTHBYAMANDA _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From College to Federal Prison 01:04 Growing Up in Miami & Family Struggles 05:11 Childhood Trauma & Single-Parent Upbringing 13:13 Early Hustles: School, Work & Selling Drugs 17:42 Generational Influence & Entering Drug Trafficking 21:39 High School Drug Sales & Avoiding Police 24:38 First Arrest & College Dreams Falling Apart 28:36 Meeting Amanda & Escalating Drug Operations 32:43 Deep in the Game: Paranoia, Expansion & Molly Trafficking 39:39 The Setup: Law Changes, Surveillance & Arrest 43:39 Amanda's Role & Facing Federal Charges 48:34 Federal Indictment, Legal Battles & Family Impact 52:59 Pregnancy, Prison & Holding Relationships Together 01:00:57 Life in Federal Prison: Survival, Fitness & Brotherhood 01:09:11 Prison Realizations: Regret, Accountability & Change 01:13:37 Release, Reinvention & Founding 300 Letters 01:17:32 Reentry, Advocacy & Helping Incarcerated Families 01:23:32 Fatherhood, Breaking Cycles & Life After Prison 01:27:01 Final Reflections & Moving Forward Learn more about your ad choices.

Heather Vickery and Alan Seales sit down with Troy Horne, a multi-hyphenate creative whose career spans music, Broadway, television, entrepreneurship, and authorship. The conversation explores what it really means to take intentional risks—especially in midlife—and how clarity, courage, and self-trust compound over time. Troy shares how his creative journey began with a childhood performance in church that revealed both his talent and his appetite for risk. From there, he followed a path shaped by persistence rather than certainty, navigating choir, talent shows, and eventually national television on Star Search. That experience became an early lesson in how the entertainment industry actually works—where talent matters, but timing, narrative, and business needs often matter just as much. The discussion traces Troy's decision to move to Los Angeles with limited resources, highlighting the importance of “networking sideways” rather than chasing gatekeepers. Troy recounts his time working alongside peers who would later become industry leaders, including Octavia Spencer, and how those early peer relationships proved more valuable than traditional ladder-climbing. A pivotal moment in the episode is Troy's Broadway story. While auditioning for Rent, he turned down a touring role because it conflicted with his personal values and family priorities. That clarity led to an unexpected outcome: a Broadway role as Tom Collins. This moment anchors a central theme of the episode—knowing what you want, and being willing to say no, often creates space for the right yes. The episode culminates in a discussion of Troy's latest book, Middle Management: How to Find Meaning, Clarity, and Success in the Second Half of Life. Troy outlines the mindset shifts required for midlife reinvention, including the necessity of quieting external noise, reconnecting with one's internal voice, and recognizing that experience—not youth—is the true advantage of the second half of life. Throughout the episode, Troy reinforces the idea that reinvention is not about starting over, but about reapplying everything you already know with greater intention. Midlife, he argues, is not a closing chapter—it is often the moment when the best tools, clearest values, and boldest opportunities finally converge. Connect With Us:

Send us a textIn this transformational episode, I welcome back Dr. Lotte Valentin.—a physician, medium, and author who made her bold journey to medical school after the age of 50. Dr. Lotte shares how her near-death experiences (NDEs) awakened psychic gifts, shifted her beliefs about the spirit world, and led her to study a myriad of healing modalities. The heart of this conversation centers on **ancestral healing** and her own pioneering technique, Kendraya, which combines science, intuition, and somatic awareness. Both Dr. Lotte and I discuss how intuition guides our decisions and the importance of tuning in to your heart's wisdom.Dr. Lotte describes her unlikely path to becoming a naturopathic doctor, driven by messages from spirit and a desire to blend modern and ancient healing.  Hear Dr. Lotte's account of leaving her body during a medical emergency, receiving comfort from spirit, and how these events shifted her worldview.  The episode dives deep into how ancestral traumas and patterns are passed down—sometimes even physically—sharing scientific studies on epigenetics and practical examples of emotional and behavioral inheritance.  Learn about Dr. Lotte's new modality, Kendraya, which incorporates cognitive awareness, intuitive ‘clairs', and somatic mapping to identify and heal inherited patterns.  Explore real-life scenarios, such as repeating family wounds around loss, rejection, and relationship struggles—and how ancestral healing can help break the cycle. Dr. Lotte explains how Kendraya is used both in private sessions and her upcoming online class, including shamanic meditation journeys and practical tools for self-healing.  She shares info about her upcoming 7-week course on The Shift Network, including a free introductory event, and how healing ancestral wounds can transform not just the individual, but the entire family line—past and future.  The episode closes with a powerful reminder: it's never too late to reinvent yourself. Dr. Lotte is living proof!**Takeaways:**- You are deeply connected to your ancestors through more than just genetics—emotions, patterns, and beliefs ripple through generations.- Healing ancestral wounds releases blockages for yourself, your children, and future generations.- Intuition is your superpower.

After losing his business in the 2008 financial collapse, Doug Thorpe didn't pivot to another startup or chase the next trend. He went bankrupt — and then built a nonprofit to help hundreds of people find jobs in one of the worst labor markets in modern history.In this episode of Second Life Leader, Doug Thorpe joins Doug Utberg to unpack what actually happens after economic collapse — personally, professionally, and psychologically. From running a mortgage-services company wiped out in a 45-day window to navigating unemployment, identity loss, and reinvention, this conversation strips away the sanitized version of resilience.This isn't motivational theater. It's a practical, honest discussion about recovery speed, burn rate, relevance, and why old playbooks fail during systemic change. The conversation expands into modern job searching, why relationships still matter more than applications, and how platforms like Reddit are quietly reshaping how people connect, hire, and rebuild outside traditional corporate channels.If you're facing layoffs, career resets, business volatility, or the uncomfortable question of “what now?”, this episode offers clarity — not comfort.What We Explore• What it actually feels like to lose everything after long-term success• Why bankruptcy doesn't end careers — denial does• How Doug built a nonprofit during peak unemployment• Why most job applications go nowhere (and what works instead)• The role of relationships versus platforms in modern hiring• Why Reddit is emerging as a raw, trust-driven alternative to LinkedIn• How anonymity changes real conversation and opportunity• Using AI to surface real-time market signals instead of chasing noise• Why reinvention is a permanent requirement, not a phaseTL;DRReinvention isn't optional in volatile economies.Bankruptcy is an event — not an identity.Burn rate determines freedom more than revenue.Applications don't get jobs — relationships do.Platforms change, but trust remains the currency.Adaptability beats stability every time.Memorable Lines“It's not the collapse that defines you — it's what you build after.”“Burn rate is destiny when markets turn.”“You don't pitch your way to trust — you earn it.”“Applications are noise; conversations are leverage.”“Reinvention isn't reactive — it's strategic.”GuestDoug ThorpeEntrepreneur, nonprofit founder, executive coach, and business advisorDoug Thorpe is a former mortgage-industry entrepreneur whose company was wiped out during the 2008 financial crash.

Entrepreneur, author, and former telecom executive Roy Osing joins me to talk about what it really means to survive getting the s**t kicked out of you—and why meaningful differentiation is the only durable way back.Most business conversations focus on growth tactics or recovery platitudes. This episode doesn't. Roy and I walk through the reality of being demoted, sidelined, and underestimated—then rebuilding leverage not through ego or exits, but through performance, patience, and strategic clarity.Roy shares how he helped grow an early-stage data and internet company to over a billion dollars in revenue, not by following playbooks, but by rejecting them. We break down why “blue ocean” thinking fails in the real world, how copying successful companies turns you into a commodity, and why differentiation only matters if customers actually care.The conversation moves from corporate power dynamics to entrepreneurship, where Roy dismantles the myth that success comes from speed, scale, or selling quickly. Instead, he argues for building an “only” value proposition—one that satisfies customer cravings, not abstract needs—and for staying in the fight long enough to earn trust, credibility, and leverage.This isn't a story about avoiding failure. It's about what to do after you hit the wall: when titles disappear, leverage evaporates, and the only thing left is how you perform when no one owes you anything.The lesson isn't bravado or revenge.It's humility, focus, and building something that can't be copied.TL;DR* Everyone who builds something meaningful gets knocked down eventually* Differentiation only works if customers actually care about it* Copying winners turns businesses into commodities with shrinking margins* “Blue oceans” are academic fantasies without practical execution* Real leverage comes from performance after setbacks, not ego or exits* Customers buy based on emotional cravings, not rational needs* Being “different” without value is just narcissism* The goal isn't to stand out—it's to be the only one who does what you doMemorable Lines* “Be different or be dead.”* “Copying success is a form of insanity.”* “What you think of yourself doesn't matter—what customers crave does.”* “If you stay after the demotion, you earn leverage through performance.”* “Differentiation without value is just narcissism.”GuestRoy Osing — Entrepreneur, author, and former telecom executiveAuthor of Be Different or Be Dead and six other books on practical business differentiation. Former senior executive who helped scale a data and internet company to over $1B in revenue, now advising leaders on building category-of-one strategies.
