What do you do when you've prayed and nothing has changed? You go again. In week 5 of our summer series, Christine Caine takes us to Elijah on the summit of Carmel: face between his knees, praying in the dark, sending his servant back to the horizon seven times before a cloud the size of a man's hand finally appears. Most of us go once. Maybe twice. Maybe three times. But the fourth, fifth, sixth time — that's where most people stop. That's where faith gets tested not by what we see, but by what we don't. Elijah heard the sound of rain before a single drop fell. That gap, between what you hear in the spirit and what you can see in the natural, is what Christine Caine calls the faith zone. And it's where every one of us will be asked to live. We've committed to the direction. Now comes the test: what do you do when you keep going and it's still hard? Resilience isn't the absence of exhaustion. It's the willingness to eat the bread God puts in front of you and get up one more time. ✨ If you've ever asked questions like… ✅ I've been praying for the same thing for years and nothing has changed — should I keep going? ✅ How do I pray with faith and expectation when I'm exhausted and discouraged? ✅ What do I do when God feels silent and I can't see anything happening? ✅ How do I hold onto peace without ignoring the reality of what I'm facing? ✅ What does persistent prayer actually look like in everyday life? ✅ Is it okay to feel like giving up — and what do I do when I get there? ✅ How do I keep believing for a miracle when I've seen nothing for so long? …then this is your episode.

But five weeks after leaving the hospital, Joe found wheelchair rugby. This violent, fast, full-contact sport helped him rebuild strength, process anger, and feel alive in a changed body. In this conversation recorded at a live tournament in New Haven, Joe talks about the crash, falling in love after paralysis, being a father, faith, adaptive sports, and what people misunderstand when they assume athletes with disabilities are fragile.

Leadership isn't about looking strong… it's about becoming who you're meant to be. In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Dan sits down with executive leadership coach, speaker, and founder of My Impossible, Jeff Harmon, to explore a remarkable journey of resilience, vulnerability, and transformation.  After being diagnosed with a rare neurological condition, Jeff found himself facing challenges that would ultimately lead him to one of the world's most ambitious adventures: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in a wheelchair. But this conversation goes far beyond the mountain. Jeff shares how entrepreneurship, disability, leadership, and faith shaped his understanding of resilience, not as performance or toughness, but as a daily choice rooted in gratitude, authenticity, and community.  Together, Jeff and Dr. Dan explore what happens when pressure reveals who we really are, why vulnerability is one of the greatest leadership strengths, and how our biggest breakthroughs often come after the climb is over. This episode is a powerful reminder that our greatest challenges are often invitations to grow, connect, and become more fully ourselves. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why resilience is a choice, not a personality trait How adversity can become a catalyst for personal growth The difference between performing leadership and embodying leadership Why vulnerability builds trust and influence The power of community when facing life's biggest challenges What Jeff learned from leading a Mount Kilimanjaro expedition How to develop true inner authority and authentic confidence Why the lessons from your "mountain" often come after the experience ends For more information visit myimpossible.org.

He's back, and he's ready to talk botnet takeovers. Tillmann Werner, VP of Intelligence Production at CrowdStrike, returns to the podcast to discuss CrowdStrike's coordinated takeover of the Glassworm botnet. Glassworm was a global threat targeting software developers through the open-source supply chain. This infection vector stood out — open-source ecosystems are based on trust, and adversaries are learning they can reach a vast pool of victims by compromising the supply chain. Some open-source libraries get 100 million downloads per week. Glassworm was described as an “unkillable” botnet. Resilience was built into its design, which relied on four different command-and-control channels. This made the takeover complicated because a botnet can't be taken over until all command-and-control mechanisms are suppressed. “Once it's down, you gotta make sure it's down,” said Adam, who calls Tillmann the “bot slayer.” In this episode, they get into the details: what Glassworm was after, how its unknown operators strengthened its infrastructure, and the planning and execution behind the takeover. Tillmann and his team facilitated the process by conducting extensive technical analysis, understanding Glassworm's evolution, and spotting the opportunity to disrupt it. They worked with partners across the private and public sectors, as well as internally at CrowdStrike, to do it safely and avoid disrupting critical systems. Come for the behind-the-scenes details, and stay for the debate around baking the perfect pizza in this episode of the Adversary Universe podcast.

Send us Fan MailOne small action can change a whole community, and sometimes even rewrite what the next generation learns in school. We sit down with Brad and Kira Newberry to unpack the idea behind their book, The Saved Effect, and why a single rescue rarely ends when the ambulance doors close. Using the butterfly effect as a guide, we explore how “micro moments” of courage and care can ripple outward into families, careers, and public policy.We dig into a story that's hard to forget: an eight-year-old girl choking at a restaurant, a nurse stepping in with the Heimlich maneuver, and the long tail of that save. Years later, that same kid is training hundreds of people in CPR and pushing for a bill that would make CPR certification a high school graduation requirement. We connect that to a bigger first responder and public health question: why do we teach fire safety so well, but still treat CPR as optional life knowledge in so many places?We also get real about first responder mental health and the culture shift around PTSD support, peer help, chaplains, and modern critical incident resources. Then we go straight into the generational friction point, with a father-daughter perspective on what Gen X and Gen Z each need to hear, and how EMS education can adapt to the way people actually learn today without lowering standards.If you care about EMS, firefighter and police mental health, CPR training, or better leadership across generations, you'll get a lot from this conversation.

David Hiler's answer to “What does it mean to be growth ready? ”is simple—and hard-earned: adapt to whatever comes your way.A lifelong runner and hospitality entrepreneur, David's life changed fast when a knee issue turned into cancer. Faced with two paths—an invasive rebuild with uncertain outcomes or amputation with a clear shot at living fully—he chose the decision that protected what mattered most: movement, presence, and the life he wanted to keep saying yes to.Then came the second wave: recovering during COVID while trying to keep multiple hospitality businesses alive. What followed wasn't just a comeback story. It was a full reset.In this conversation, David shares what it looked like to let go of the “more, bigger, next” mindset, selling the house, exiting the businesses, and trading a life of constant pressure for a life built around freedom, health, and daily happiness. Along the way, he talks candidly about the hard days too: the frustration, the self-consciousness, the work of journaling when you don't feel like it, and the discipline of choosing yourself before life forces the issue.About the Guest:David Hiler is a former hospitality operator who built and ran multiple businesses, including a restaurant and brewery, before stepping into a new chapter after losing his leg to cancer.Today, David works as a consultant for bed & breakfasts and country inns, while traveling full-time with his wife in an RV—building a life around movement, simplicity, and the places that make them feel most alive.He's also an advocate for accessible mobility through So Everybody Can Move, supporting efforts to improve insurance coverage for prosthetic options that help amputees live fully (including water legs, running blades, and sport-specific prosthetics).Connect with David:Instagram: @davidheilerAdvocacy:  https://soeverybodycanmove.orgSend us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

Throughout the conversation, Cat opens up about the challenges of reinvention, the importance of listening to your intuition, embracing discomfort, and having the courage to start over—even when others don't understand your vision. Whether you're dreaming of launching a business, considering a major career pivot, or simply seeking more alignment in your life, this episode will encourage you to trust yourself, take the next step, and create a life that feels as good as it looks.

Semiquincententacles: The US grip on markets on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence Behold the Aquilaceph, half-bald eagle and half-octopus. On the semiquincentennial 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence, this imaginary beast is a metaphor for the continued US grip on financial markets. In this special issue we look at the details: US reserve currency status, capital flows, the much anticipated but still unprofitable “Sell America” trade, US corporate profitability and productivity in the age of AI, investing in Security & Resilience, equity market concentration, energy independence and the revival of the US IPO market. The biggest medium-term concerns for investors in US assets, other than the sustainability of the US Federal debt and cyclical inflationary pressures: the increased unpredictability in the rule of law, and government defunding of science and sidelining of scientific expertise.

Dr. Jacob Ham, licensed clinical psychologist and Director of the Center for Trauma and Resilience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, joins me for a profound conversation about trauma, attachment, presence, and the relational experiences that help us heal.   Together we explore:   - Why trauma is not defined solely by what happened to us, but by how those experiences continue to shape the way we relate to ourselves and others. - The difference between living from a state of survival and living from a state of presence. - How trauma can disrupt our natural capacity to move fluidly between connection, protection, openness, and autonomy. - Why healing does not happen through insight alone, but through relationships that allow us to experience safety, reflection, and connection. - The concept of reflective functioning and why it is one of the strongest predictors of secure attachment across generations. - How becoming aware of our internal "chatter" can help us respond with greater compassion toward ourselves and our children. - Why rupture and repair are a normal and necessary part of healthy relationships. - How parents can begin breaking intergenerational cycles by cultivating curiosity, awareness, and presence.   This conversation offers a powerful reminder that secure attachment is not built through perfection. It is built through our willingness to stay present, remain open to reflection, and continually return to connection with ourselves and the people we love. Dr. Ham shares a deeply hopeful perspective on how healing happens and how even small moments of awareness can begin to transform the patterns we pass on to the next generation.

In this conversation with the principals of Tim Barber Architects, the discussion explores how architecture has evolved since 2020. The pandemic fundamentally changed how people live in their homes, forcing architects to rethink everything from spatial organization and material choices to health, resilience, and long-term adaptability. The architects describe a profession balancing client desires, environmental realities, and community responsibility. Topics include aging in place, the shift away from open floor plans, rebuilding after wildfire loss, and the growing role of resilience and sustainability in residential design. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. TimberTech – Real wood beauty without the upkeep Shelter Republic – Request your membership invitation The conversation also examines larger systemic issues—from the housing crisis and the loss of architectural criticism to concerns about deregulating the architectural profession and the future pipeline of architects. Ultimately, the discussion reveals architecture as both a creative discipline and a civic responsibility. Tim Barber, Kelly Becker, David Stone, Ari Engleman, Katie Peterson-Hesketh Post-Pandemic Spatial Design Homes are now workplaces, classrooms, and wellness environments. Architects are designing more flexible, compartmentalized spaces rather than large open rooms. The Reassessment of the Open Floor Plan Open layouts are losing popularity as homeowners seek acoustic separation, privacy, and spatial hierarchy. Healthy Homes Clients increasingly ask about air quality, non-toxic materials, EMF concerns, and overall wellness in the built environment. Aging in Place & Multigenerational Living Homes are being designed for lifelong occupancy, with elevators, adaptable bathrooms, and secondary primary suites. Housing Crisis Misconceptions The problem is not a lack of housing overall but a shortage of affordable, well-located housing. Sustainability Through Longevity The most sustainable building is the one that already exists. Adaptive reuse and generational homes are key strategies. Fire Resilience and Climate Adaptation Wildfire rebuild projects are forcing architects to rethink materials, structural resilience, and building codes. “Performance Spending” Homeowners must choose between visible luxury and invisible resilience investments. Architects as Client Advocates Architects frequently guide clients away from poor decisions through education and alternatives rather than simply saying “no.” Material Uncertainty and Construction Cost Volatility Rapid cost changes and new materials create challenges for planning and specification. Professional Deregulation Concerns Removing architectural licensing protections could threaten safety, quality, and professional standards. Education and Knowledge Sharing The firm runs an internal “university” model to continuously train staff and share knowledge. Loss of Architectural Criticism The disappearance of critics and serious architectural journalism has created a cultural vacuum in evaluating design. Adaptive Reuse and Density Office conversions and moderate urban density may become major architectural trends. Future of Residential Design Homes may become smaller but more sophisticated—prioritizing performance, durability, and resilience.

Corporate sustainability strategy is becoming a profit driver as AI, decarbonization, and resilience converge. Eva Riesenhuber, Global Head of Sustainability at Siemens AG and a 2025 TIME100 Climate honoree, joins Siemens USA President and CEO Ann Fairchild to unpack how corporate sustainability strategy is changing inside large organizations. They explain why decarbonization, climate resilience, and digital transformation are now reinforcing each other, and how industrial AI is reshaping what is possible at scale.  Drawing on examples from industry, infrastructure, and mobility, Eva and Ann discuss why the cost of inaction is no longer theoretical. They explore how a modern corporate sustainability strategy can cut emissions, support circular operations, and strengthen systems, while still delivering measurable business value. Key takeaways: How corporate sustainability strategy is moving from ESG reporting to operational decision-making Where decarbonization and net-zero by 2030 efforts are creating real financial upside How companies are balancing industrial AI's energy use with sustainability gains Why resilience, from grids to supply chains, is central to corporate sustainability strategy What leaders need to prioritize as the energy transition accelerates toward 2030 For CEOs, operators, and sustainability leaders, this episode offers a clear view of where corporate sustainability strategy is headed and why long-term bets are paying off.

“Is this a problem to be solved — or a truth to be accepted?” – Dr. Sue Varma  LINKS:  Dr. Sue Varma's website: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/  Practical Optimism: https://www.doctorsuevarma.com/practical-optimism/  Follow Dr. Sue Varma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorsuevarma/  Age Better Cheat Sheet on Substack: https://barbarahannahgrufferman.substack.com/  Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/barbarahannahgrufferman/  In this episode of AGE BETTER, I'm joined by Dr. Sue Varma, a board-certified psychiatrist, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, and author of Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being.  This is not a conversation about pretending everything is fine.  It's not about forced positivity, ignoring the hard things, or telling yourself to “just look on the bright side.”  Instead, Dr. Sue explains how practical optimism helps us face reality with more clarity, more courage, and more action.  We talk about why optimism is not simply something you're born with — it is something you can practice. Dr. Sue shares how to interrupt worst-case-scenario thinking, how to stop spiraling, and how to begin asking better questions when fear takes over.  We also talk about something so many women in midlife and beyond are thinking about: purpose. What happens when your roles shift, your children need you less, your work life changes, your relationships evolve, or you find yourself wondering, “What now?” Dr. Sue offers a refreshing way to think about purpose that does not require a grand mission. Sometimes it starts with the small things we choose to place on our calendar.  You'll also hear her simple approach to processing difficult emotions instead of pushing them aside: name it, claim it, tame it, and reframe it. And we talk about the powerful connection between emotional health and physical well-being — because, as Dr. Sue says, the body often tells the truth before we do.  We also get into loneliness, connection, community, and the surprising difference between being lonely and learning how to enjoy your own company. Dr. Sue explains why we need both a people practice and an aloneness practice — and why small, everyday moments of connection may matter more than we think.  This episode is filled with practical tools you can use right away, including the four M's of mental health: movement, mastery, mindfulness, and meaningful engagement.  If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, uncertain, or ready to approach this next chapter with more strength, hope, and self-trust, this conversation is for you.  Please follow or subscribe to AGE BETTER wherever you listen.

It was a pleasure to speak with Jessica and listen as she shared  all that she experienced as a high school drop out and single mother with a husband behind bars.   This major turning point in her life,  motivated her to complete her GED as well as complete college and law school, with honors, in order to help those similarly unfamiliar with the way the criminal justice system works.  When you hear the compelling stories about both  Jessica and her mother, you'll say, 'the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.'   Both women have been working tirelessly for decades in order to educate victims and their family members,  as well as inform  society to be more compassionate and aware and to update the parole and probation system. Resilience is one of the words that Jessica uses over and over again when describing her mother Maria who is originally from  Stockholm, Sweden.  Jessica also describes her mom as "a pioneer in her field." Very early on in the AIDS epidemic, Maria was involved with helping patients and their families maneuver the scary waters of a frightening disease.  While in graduate school, Maria brought her days old daughter Jessica with her to class.  Jessica went where ever her mother took her, to HIV/Aids conferences, seminars, etc. "She showed us"  says Jessica, when referring to her mother, "by her actions, not her words, on how to live life." Jessica was adamant about how her mom had a "show them, don't tell them" philosophy about life. In other words, Maria was an  example by her actions, not her words. Jessica reflects, "I never once saw my mom give up." Again, the parallels between mother and daughter are striking, Maria working with HIV/AIDS patients and Jessica with people in prison. Again, those whose lives were turned upside down, found a smart, caring and devoted women to make a difference in these unfortunate individuals lives. When Kim Kardashian West wanted tutoring in law once aware of wrongfully incarcerated first time offenders, she went to Jessica Jackson for help.  On November 29, 2019, USA Today wrote "Kim Kardashian West came on board with the campaign after she heard about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had served 21 years of a life sentence for her first-ever drug conviction, and was moved to help. Kardashian West was instrumental in convincing Trump to grant Johnson clemency. "  That's just one of thousands of cases that Jackson has had overturned and continues to fight in order to get families back together under one roof. Both of these women with all that they have accomplished and continue  to accomplish is living proof that if you set your mind to something, anything and everything is possible. As Maria said to her daughter "you can do anything, you can achieve anything, if you work hard enough."    REFORM Alliance Mission Statement: REFORM Alliance aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing. A justice system that holds people accountable and redirects back to work and wellbeing leads to stronger families and safer communities. Instead of keeping people trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison — which costs taxpayers billions of dollars — we're working to move people from the justice system into stability.  History REFORM's story starts with the unjust re-imprisonment of recording artist Meek Mill. The shocking two-to-four year sentence he received for popping a wheelie spurred the international #FreeMeek movement, which led to release on bail and eventually his freedom. Although Meek had the resources and public platform to fight his case, his case is only one of millions. The vast majority of people trapped in the system don't get their stories told, or have the resources to fight back. On January 23, 2019, a world-class group of philanthropists and activists came together to launch the REFORM Alliance to change this REFORM Alliance 1675 Broadway, 21st Floor New York, NY 10019-5820 If you would like to learn more about how to support REFORM, please contact us at development@reformalliance.com. #cut50-Co founder along with Van JonesAn organization designed to cut prison populations, but also wipe out the stigmas associated with being incarcerated because of the current criminal justice system.

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPS: Anyone navigating grief, trauma, divorce, childhood loss, PTSD, depression, emotional healing, or non-death grief experiences that still carry lasting pain.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GET: A powerful conversation about grief beyond death, childhood trauma, emotional validation, mental health, resilience, healing after divorce, and how loss can shape the course of an entire life.DESCRIPTION:Dr. Gregory T. Obert spends his career helping people work through trauma, PTSD, depression, grief, and emotional pain, but long before becoming a psychologist, he was a teenager struggling through the collapse of his parents' marriage and the loss of the life he thought he knew. In this deeply personal conversation with Nick, Dr. Greg shares how childhood grief, depression, and emotional isolation shaped his future. He discusses the often-overlooked grief that accompanies divorce, family dysfunction, autism within families, and the loss of expected relationships. Together, Nick and Dr. Greg explore why society struggles to recognize non-death grief and how trauma extends far beyond the experiences most people associate with PTSD. They examine the importance of emotional validation, the damage caused when children's feelings are dismissed, and the role supportive adults can play in healing. Dr. Greg also reflects on the therapist who changed his life, the mentor who helped shape his future, and the experiences that ultimately led him into psychology. This episode is an honest, insightful exploration of grief, trauma, resilience, mental health, and the healing power of being truly seen and heard.This episode answers: Can divorce cause grief and trauma even when nobody dies?  How does childhood grief affect mental health later in life?  What is the difference between trauma and PTSD?  Why do people dismiss non-death grief experiences?  How can therapy help someone process grief, loss, and emotional pain? Key Takeaways: Grief is not limited to death and can emerge from divorce, family changes, lost relationships, and disrupted expectations.  Children often recognize emotional problems long before adults realize they do.  Emotional validation can be life-changing for someone struggling with grief or trauma.  Trauma exists on a spectrum and does not always meet the criteria for PTSD.  Healing often begins when people stop minimizing their pain and allow themselves to address it honestly.DR.

Alan Lazaros lost his father in a car accident before he could even remember him. He went on to do everything right — top engineering school, MBA, corporate career, elite global earner. And then at 26, he was in a near-fatal car accident of his own. Same way his dad died. And that's when everything cracked open.In this episode, Hugs sits down with Alan — host of one of the world's top 100 personal development podcasts, Next Level University, with over 2,300 episodes, listeners in 180+ countries, and more than 7,200 one-on-one coaching sessions under his belt — for one of the most intellectually rich and emotionally honest conversations Sol Meets Heart has had.They go deep on the four parts of your nature (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual) and which one is secretly driving your life. Alan breaks down the three fears that box people in — fear of failure, fear of success, and fear of judgment — and why most people don't even know which one is running them.They talk about productive avoidance, why personal development can become an escape from actual healing, and what it really means to build self-worth versus self-belief. Alan also opens up about co-founding the Next Level Hope Foundation with his business partner Kevin — turning Father's Day, a painful holiday for both of them, into a day of celebration for kids without fathers.This one hits differently.

What happens when a creative mind, a startup operator, a cancer survivor, and a humanitarian all live inside the same person?In this episode of Clover, I sit down with Melissa Wood, founder of Formis and Curate, to explore the winding path that led her from a small town in North Carolina to the startup ecosystem in Austin. Melissa's story spans early tech startups, design and photography, turning down life-changing opportunities, surviving cancer, humanitarian work in Ethiopia, and building companies rooted in solving real-world problems.What stood out most was Melissa's ability to notice gaps others accept as normal;  and then build solutions around them. Whether helping homeowners navigate renovations through Formis or simplifying conference experiences through Curate, her work is driven by a simple question: “Why doesn't something better exist?”This conversation is about resilience, leadership, community, and the unexpected ways life experiences shape the companies we build.In this episode, we discuss:How an accidental discovery of Photoshop in the mid-1990s launched Melissa's career in technology and design.Why she walked away from opportunities—including an early chance to join the team behind Me.com—and how she evaluates big decisions.The life-changing impact of surviving cancer and how that experience influenced her approach to work, family, and entrepreneurship.What she learned from living and working in Ethiopia, including lessons about community, presence, loyalty, and leadership.How she built Curate, an AI-powered event discovery platform, in just days using no-code and AI tools after identifying a problem she'd personally experienced for years.Why trust breaks down in industries like home renovation and how technology can create transparency, alignment, and accountability.Notable Quotes“Trust isn't built in one big moment. It's built through patterns.”“The best products are born from real experiences.”“If the system reflects that someone is being heard and understood, it creates a feeling of partnership.”Resources & Links MentionedFormis – AI-powered platform designed to improve transparency and communication in home renovation projects.Curate – Event discovery and scheduling platform helping people navigate conferences, tech events, and community gatherings.Lovable – AI-powered development platform Melissa used to build an early version of Curate.Claude – AI assistant Melissa uses for ongoing product development and iteration.FoundHers – Austin-based organization supporting women founders and entrepreneurs.South by Southwest (SXSW) – The event experience that inspired Curate.Austin Tech WeekLA Tech WeekAustin TV FestivalMelissa's story is a reminder that entrepreneurship doesn't always begin with a grand vision.

Resilience has become a buzzword in today's culture, thrown around by influencers, coaches, and even bootcamp instructors, all insisting we need to “push through” no matter the cost. But is resilience always the healthiest path forward? Does mental toughness, positivity, and grit serve us in the ways we think—or is there more nuance to uncover? In this episode, Nicole connects with Soraya Chemaly, activist and author of The Resilience Myth: New Thinking on Grit, Strength, and Growth after Trauma. Together, they challenge conventional ideas about resilience and explore a new way of thinking—one that shifts from individual grit to collective care and community connection. Soraya's previous book, Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger, was widely acclaimed and named one of the Best Books of 2018 by the Washington Post, NPR, and Psychology Today. This conversation offers insight into what really matters: kindness, compassion, belonging, and care—for ourselves and each other. It's time to rethink resilience as more than just strength in isolation and embrace what it looks like to thrive, together. Thank you to our sponsors!

Today we're delighted to share a conversation with Robin Ritch about her new book, Using Friction to Grow: Stories of Strength and Resilience.Many of us spend our lives trying to avoid friction. We want our faith to feel clear, our communities to feel supportive, and our spiritual lives to move forward without too much tension or uncertainty. But today Robin's asking, "What if our deepest growth comes not in spite of friction, but because of it?"And that's at the heart of her book. Through interviews with a remarkable generation of Latter-day Saint women—many of them grandmothers now—Robin uncovers stories of faith, resilience, and spiritual maturity that feel so relevant today. These women faced difficult questions, competing loyalties, and real tension between their deepest convictions and the world around them. Yet rather than allowing that friction to diminish their faith, they used it to deepen their relationship with God and expand their capacity to serve.Robin herself has spent a career building and leading transformative organizations, including at Microsoft, Intel, and most recently as President and Publisher of Deseret News. But this book grew out of a lifelong fascination with women's spiritual lives and the wisdom that can be found in their stories.Whether you're currently navigating friction in your own faith journey or simply looking for examples of courage and grace, we think you'll find this conversation both reassuring and inspiring.You can buy your copy of Using Friction to Grow on Bookshop.org, Amazon, or wherever books are sold.Join us on July 11 for the Wayfare festival!

Vince Young is a former NFL quarterback, college football legend, and one of the most iconic athletes in NCAA history. Best known for leading the University of Texas to a national championship and later playing in the NFL, Vince has spent his post-football career focused on leadership, mentorship, business ventures, and personal development. In this episode, Travis breaks down the biggest lessons from his conversation with Vince, covering everything from overcoming doubt and embracing coaching to developing professionalism and using respect as a competitive advantage. On this episode we talk about: How to turn other people's doubt into motivation and fuel for success The life-changing impact of great coaches and mentors Why elite performers separate themselves through attention to detail The role professionalism plays in building a long-term career How manners, humility, and respect can become world-class habits Top 3 Takeaways Doubt can either become a limitation or a source of motivation—the choice is yours. Vince used skepticism from others as fuel to push himself toward success. Great coaches can help you see potential you can't yet see in yourself, but growth only happens when you're willing to apply what they teach. Talent may get you in the door, but professionalism, discipline, and respect are what sustain long-term success. Notable Quotes "When somebody tells me I can't, I'm like, man, yes I can." "A mentor without an eager student is just someone talking to themselves." "You can't coach professionalism. You either got it or you don't."

Resilience is often talked about as a personality trait—something you either have or you don't. But according to Dr. Tara Narula, resilience is more like a muscle: it can be built, strengthened, and may have a profound impact on our health. Mosheh sits down with Dr. Tara Narula, Chief Medical Correspondent for ABC News, practicing cardiologist, and author of the new book ⁠The Healing Power of Resilience⁠. Drawing from both her medical expertise and her own experience navigating a serious health scare during medical school, Dr. Narula explains the science behind resilience and why it is deeply connected to physical health, heart health, and longevity. The conversation explores stress, loneliness, relationships, religion, uncertainty, and the habits that help people recover from life's inevitable challenges. Tara also shares why she believes roughly 80% of cardiovascular disease may be preventable, what chronic stress is doing to our bodies, and the practical steps people can take today to become healthier, more resilient, and better equipped for whatever comes next. Mosheh Oinounou (⁠⁠⁠@mosheh⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist. He has 20 years of experience at networks including Fox News, Bloomberg Television and CBS News, where he was the executive producer of the CBS Evening News and launched the network's 24 hour news channel.
