No matter how faithful we are to God, disaster sometimes seeks us out. How do we not just hang on to Christ, but lead others to do so as well? We should feel inspired to prepare for the storm, and when in the storm, comforted that we're not alone. (2 Kings 18:13-19:36; 2 Chronicles 32:1-21; Isaiah 36-37) Speaker: Carl Kuhl

Ever feel like you're drowning in challenges while trying to stay positive? That tension between acknowledging reality and maintaining hope is exactly what this episode explores through the lens of resilient optimism.We dive deep into the entrepreneurial journey — not the glamorized social media version, but the raw reality of sitting in 95-degree heat for hours to make $40, losing $1,200 worth of merchandise before a major event, and somehow maintaining belief that better days are ahead. These aren't just business lessons but life lessons about how we face adversity.The distinction between blind optimism (naively ignoring problems) and resilient optimism (acknowledging challenges while maintaining confidence in your ability to overcome them) frames our conversation. As Winston Churchill wisely noted, "Success is moving from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" — a perfect description of the entrepreneurial mindset required for long-term success.What makes this approach so powerful isn't just feeling good — research shows resilient optimism leads to improved performance, greater satisfaction, better health outcomes, and enhanced wellbeing. It's a mental framework that allows you to navigate difficulty while maintaining forward momentum.The beautiful thing? Resilient optimism isn't something you're born with — it's a choice and a muscle you can strengthen. Even the most pessimistic person can make a decision to approach challenges differently starting tomorrow. What we focus on expands; what we appreciate appreciates. Are you ready to transform your relationship with obstacles by viewing pressure as a privilege and problems as opportunities?

What if the most resilient people aren't the ones who bounce back quickly—but those who allow themselves to break, feel, grieve, and still move forward?In this heartfelt episode, we explore tragic optimism—a powerful reframe introduced by Viktor Frankl—and how it allows us to hold both pain and hope without bypassing either. You'll learn how real resilience comes not from fixing or rushing, but from the ability to live with the full truth of what is and keep going anyway.We'll explore:• Why “bouncing back” is a cultural myth• What tragic optimism really means (and what it's not)• The nervous system's role in resilience and meaning-making• The 3 Ps of pessimism—and how to unlearn them• Practical tools to regulate your body, reframe your thoughts, and hold space for grief and growth at onceThis is your invitation to stop striving to return to “how things used to be”—and instead, build capacity to bounce forward with wisdom, gentleness, and courage.Timestamps:00:00 – Resilient people aren't the fastest to recover06:55 – When Breath Becomes Air & the phrase “devastatingly beautiful”10:14 – What tragic optimism really means (Viktor Frankl)13:05 – Why it's not toxic positivity (Brad Stulberg's take)15:15 – Introducing learned optimism (Martin Seligman)17:32 – The 3 Ps of pessimism and how to flip them20:18 – Why your nervous system must feel safe before optimism is possible23:12 – You can't access nuance from a dysregulated state25:50 – The nervous system's role in meaning-making28:36 – Post-traumatic growth: Making meaning, not finding it31:45 – What it means to hold both pain and hope33:58 – How to actually practice tragic optimism36:10 – Step 1: Reframe with “both/and” language37:15 – Step 2: Befriend your nervous system, not fight it38:48 – Step 3: Hold space for others with “Tell me more”40:10 – What resilience really looks like: bouncing forward41:50 – Why regulating isn't about avoiding pain—it's about holding it43:30 – Final thoughts: You can be devastatingly beautiful too
Ep 112: On today's episode of The Retirement Success in Maine Podcast, Ben and Curtis sit down with Coach Andy Wary, founder of Silverback Strength Training, to break down the transformative power of strength training for older adults. Whether it's walking the dog, chasing grandkids, or just getting up and down stairs confidently, retirees want to stay active and independent, and Andy shows us exactly how to make that happen.

In this episode of the Tyler Tech Podcast, we unpack a common and often misunderstood topic in public sector cloud computing: what GovCloud is, how it differs from standard cloud environments, and when each is actually necessary.Recorded live at our annual Tyler Connect conference in San Antonio, this insightful discussion features Russell Gainford, chief technology officer at Tyler Technologies, and Gerard Gallant, senior program manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS). Together, they explore how state and local governments can navigate evolving compliance needs and make smart, secure, and cost-effective cloud choices.Throughout the episode, Russell and Gerard clarify the distinction between security and compliance, explain why assumptions around GovCloud can lead to unnecessary complexity and cost, and highlight AWS's Nitro System as a game-changing innovation in data protection. They also touch on the broader importance of continuous education in cloud decision-making, particularly as agencies modernize infrastructure and embrace emerging technologies.Tune in to hear how public sector leaders can confidently choose the right cloud environment for their mission — grounded in actual requirements, not just labels.This episode also highlights “Resilient by Design: How Technology Supports Government,” our free e-book that explores how public sector agencies can strengthen their resilience in the face of disruption.

In this episode of Human Design Hive, we're chatting about the 6/3 profile- the technical "last" profile in Human Design's 12-profile sequence, and one that brings a potent mix of real-time experimentation and long-view wisdom.The 6/3 lives a deeply experiential life. It doesn't rest on theory, it's about getting in the mix, learning by doing (and undoing), and ultimately becoming a powerful role model through lived truth. It's a profile that's here to grow through life's hard knocks, and come out the other side more resilient, embodied, and clear about what really works.In this episode, you'll discover:- What makes the 6/3 profile so distinct, and why its life path unfolds in three powerful phases- How the line 6's search for truth and purpose gets shaped by the line 3's drive to experiment and learn through “mistakes”- Why the 6/3 may never feel fully “off the roof”, and what that means for living in alignment- How different types (Generator, Manifesting Generator, Projector, Manifestor, Reflector) experience the 6/3 profile- Why the 6/3 is uniquely built to embody authenticity through trial, resilience, and reinvention We also explore real-life examples of 6/3s, including Harrison Ford, Matt Damon, and Serena Williams, and how their stories reflect the deep truth-seeking and powerful bounce-back energy this profile brings to the world.Timestamps:00:00 Welcome and Catch Up03:15 Intro to Profile10:02 House Analogy15:26 Line 617:28 Line 319:55 6/332:53 6/3 Generator35:11 6/3 Manifesting Generator37:59 6/3 Projector42:07 6/3 Manifestor46:06 6/3 Reflector51:42 Harrison Ford01:04:18 Matt Damon01:14:00 Serena Williams01:27:04 ICX of the WeekSome Key Takeaways for 6/3 profiles:- Your "mistakes" are actually data collection- Experimentation is a valid life strategy- Some of us are built to show others what's possible when you trust your own path.Thank for listening!P.S. - We're doing a community call on July 23rd at 7 PM if you want to dive deeper into profiles with us.

They emphasize the importance of teaching young men emotional regulation, spiritual leadership, and practical habits—long before they enter a romantic relationship.The episode also dives into the role of a woman as a “catalyst” in a man's life, and why many men will never fully step into their purpose without that relational sharpening.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of "Shark Theory" with Baylor Barbee. In today's discussion, Baylor delves into the metaphorical journey of flying through clouds, likening it to the various personal and professional storms we face in life. Using vivid imagery, he challenges listeners to rethink their relationships, mindset, and approach to life's challenges. The episode explores the concept of convenience and its hidden costs, urging listeners to evaluate the people and situations in their lives that may no longer serve their growth. Baylor emphasizes the importance of resilience, strength, and mental fortitude in weathering life's storms. He encourages listeners to ask themselves whether they are equipped to confront those challenges or if they need a moment to regroup and rebuild their strength before proceeding. Key Takeaways: Metaphorical Clouds: Just like flying through clouds in an airplane, life's challenges may look daunting but can be overcome with perseverance. Question Convenience: Convenience often comes at a cost; reassess relationships and habits that may hinder your progress. Inner Strength and Resilience: Understand your capacity to weather life's storms. You are stronger than you think. Commitment to the Journey: Determine if you are ready to tackle the challenges now or need to focus on personal growth and strength. Surround Yourself Wisely: Avoid negative influences and people who dwell in life's storms, focusing instead on growth and positivity. Notable Quotes: "In life, not everybody that was once good for you still is." "Convenience is always going to cost you." "You have to know if you're strong enough to weather the storm." "You're worth more. You're stronger than you think you are." "Eventually, you will come out that other side."

Sean Claffey is the Southwest Montana Sagebrush Conservation Coordinator at the Nature Conservancy, a role that places him at the center of one of the West's most overlooked but critically important ecosystems: the sagebrush steppe. Based in Dillon, Montana, Sean works across public and private lands to protect and restore this sprawling, foundational landscape that serves as habitat for countless species, supports rural economies, and connects the region's valleys and mountain ranges. Through his leadership in the Southwest Montana Sagebrush Partnership—a collaborative effort uniting agencies, landowners, and nonprofits—Sean helps ensure that the health of this “land in between” doesn't fall through the cracks. In this conversation, Sean and I dig into the complex threats facing sagebrush country, from invasive grasses and wildfire to conifer encroachment and land conversion. We talk about how fire suppression and ecological shifts have allowed evergreens like Douglas fir and juniper to overtake sagebrush, and how Sean's team is using a mix of prescribed burns, manual thinning, and innovative partnerships with local mills to restore balance to the landscape. He also shares how they're engaging young people in hands-on restoration work, creating pathways for rural youth to connect with the land and gain meaningful employment. Sean brings a unique blend of scientific insight, community-mindedness, and boots-on-the-ground experience to this work, and he's quick to credit the collaborative culture of southwest Montana for making so much progress possible. From low-tech wet meadow restoration to building a more resilient restoration economy, this is a hopeful, grounded conversation about how conservation can succeed when it centers people, place, and purpose. If you're a new listeners and want to go deeper on this subject, I'd encourage you to go back and listen to my earlier episode with Matt Cahill who gives an excellent crash course on the Sagebrush Sea and the epsiode with Austin Rempel and Nancy Smith, who dig deep into riparian restoration in Montana.
