Actor, creator, and entrepreneur Luke Cook joins Gabby Reece for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, rejection, faith, and building a meaningful life.Luke shares his unconventional journey from growing up in Australia as the youngest of five, to chasing comedy and acting in Hollywood — including seven years of near-constant auditions with little visible success. He speaks candidly about rejection, identity, and why loving the craft itself matters more than external validation.The conversation moves fluidly between creativity and discipline, faith and doubt, ego and humility. Luke reflects on fatherhood, marriage, and the grounding power of family — as well as the importance of play, presence, and not taking success (or failure) too seriously.They also explore Luke's entrepreneurial ventures, including building a “no-weird-stuff” protein shake brand, creative coaching for founders, and using humor to communicate without shame. Throughout, Luke emphasizes curiosity, integrity, and joy as essential ingredients for longevity — in work and in life.This episode is about staying in the game, trusting the process, and remembering that success isn't a destination — it's how you live along the way.⏱️ CHAPTERS- Intro & meeting Luke- Growing up the youngest of five- Early love of performance and comedy- Discipline, training, and loving the craft- Moving to LA & chasing the dream- Years of auditions and rejection- Ego, ambition, and humility- Faith, doubt, and finding a north star- Marriage, fatherhood, and family grounding- Creativity vs. external validation- Building a values-driven business- Content, comedy, and honest communication- Relationships, partnership, and play- What success really looks like- Staying joyful in uncertainty- Closing reflections WHAT STAYED WITH MELoving the work matters more than loving the outcome.Rejection doesn't end careers — quitting does.Discipline follows passion.When you care deeply enough, showing up becomes natural.Ego needs humility to stay healthy.Confidence fuels performance; humility keeps you grounded.Family changes the definition of success.Responsibility, presence, and play become the real markers.Faith doesn't eliminate doubt.It gives you somewhere to return when things feel unstable.Joy is a choice.Especially when the path forward isn't clear.WHY IT'S WORTH SLOWING DOWN FOR THISWe live in a culture that celebrates instant success and overnight wins — often ignoring the long, invisible seasons of work that come before them.Luke's story is a reminder that staying in the game matters.That creativity doesn't expire.And that meaning is built through patience, integrity, and connection — not applause.If you're navigating uncertainty, rejection, or a season of waiting, this conversation offers perspective worth sitting with.FIND LUKELuke CookInstagram & TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/thelukecookProtein brand: https://getshakewell.comFOR MORE ON GABBYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabbyreeceofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GabbyReeceThe Gabby Reece Show Podcast: Available on all major platformsEpisode sponsors:Get up to 30% off OneSkin with the code GABBYREECE at https://www.oneskin.co/GABBYREECE #oneskinpodDon't let another year go by feeling less than your best.

For nearly a decade, his work has centered on helping driven, burnt-out achievers unwind the emotional and belief patterns that run their lives.Identity under pressure reveals how much of who we are was shaped long before we had a choice, with unconscious beliefs tracing back far beyond our own lived experiences. Nervous system regulation, money stories, and lineage show up as an interconnected web that influences how daily life is experienced and navigated. Addiction and self-abandonment surface as signals of deeper disconnection. Responsibility for the inner world becomes less about fixing what's wrong and more about seeing what's beneath the surface.This episode speaks to anyone sensing that forward movement isn't about more tactics, but by understanding the forces shaping personal choices, accumulated stress, and the kind of freedom that feels earned rather than chased.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:30] Breaking down the old identity: the practices Josh used for transformation[19:02] Is plant medicine a necessity when it comes to transformation?[34:07] Getting to your root beliefs with the BTFA practice: a breathwork walkthrough[58:45] Traditional talk therapy vs somatic approaches[01:11:23] Understanding addiction as disconnection and the trap of trading one addiction for another[01:27:05] Facing your biggest fear in real-time: how Alec nearly shut down his podcast[01:41:24] Emotional epigenetics and unconsciously passing patterns down through generations[01:53:58] The single most powerful practice: emotional inventoryRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Health Freedom for Humanity with Josh Trent | Spotify or AppleResources Mentioned:The Great Unlearn with Cal Callahan | WebsiteFearful Memories Passed Down to Mouse Descendants by Callaway E. | ArticleSelf Liberation Blueprint + The Liberated Life Tribe Free Community:The Self Liberation Blueprint is a 10-day jumpstart and free tribe access that's perfect for the person who feels stuck, and they don't know why.

Responsibility of Children to Parents With Brother Sydney Sawyer
This exploration of Romans 9 tackles the profound tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility. Through Pharaoh and Moses, we see a difficult truth: God hardened Pharaoh's heart, yet gave him ten chances to choose differently. This isn't about unfairness; it's about a God who is just by His standards, not ours. Like clay in the Potter's hands, we are crafted for His purposes. Most strikingly, we see God's mercy—from clothing Adam and Eve to protecting Cain. His patience is intended to lead us to repentance, proving we are never too far gone.---## **SERMON NOTES: Romans 9 – Sovereignty & Mercy**### **1. The Big Idea**God is absolutely sovereign and unimaginably merciful. His sovereignty does not erase our choices; He repeatedly offers mercy and calls us to respond.### **2. Pharaoh's Hardened Heart (Exodus 7–12)*** **The Tension:** Romans 9:15–18 says God hardens whom He wills, yet Exodus shows Pharaoh hardening his own heart.* **The Reality:** God gave Pharaoh 10 real opportunities to obey. Pharaoh's repeated refusal led to Egypt's devastation, proving God's purposes never fail.### **3. Sovereignty & Responsibility*** **The Potter & Clay:** Romans 9:19–21 explains that the Potter has the right to shape vessels for different purposes.* **Justice vs. Fairness:** God is not "fair" by human standards; He is just. He owes mercy to no one; when He gives it, it is pure grace.* **Patience:** He endures "vessels of wrath" with great patience to make His glory known to "vessels of mercy" (Rom. 9:22–24).### **4. OT Pictures of Mercy*** **Cain (Gen. 4):** Despite murder and defiance, God spared Cain and marked him for protection.* **Adam & Eve (Gen. 2–3):** God didn't strike them dead instantly. He sacrificed animals to cover them, acting for their ultimate good even in judgment.### **5. Identity as Clay*** **Unique Design:** You are shaped for His purposes, not mass-produced for comparison (Isa. 64:8).* **Divine Empowerment:** Philippians 2:13 reminds us that God gives us both the *desire* and the *power* to please Him.### **6. The Two Sons (Luke 15)*** **The Prodigal:** Wastes everything but is restored to sonship, not just servanthood.* **The Older Brother:** Resentful and entitled. He refuses to celebrate his brother's return.* **The Call:** God's mercy calls both the rebellious and the self-righteous home.---## **PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS**1. **Respond Now:** Don't presume on God's patience. Repent before hardness sets in.2. **Rest in Sovereignty:** Release the illusion of control. Pray: "Your will, not mine."3. **Stop Comparing:** Embrace your design as clay in the Potter's hands.4. **Check Your Heart:** Reject "Older Brother" resentment when others are blessed.5. **Come Home:** If you've wandered, return. God restores you fully.---## **DISCUSSION QUESTIONS**1. How do you see both God's sovereignty and Pharaoh's responsibility in Exodus?2. Where have you experienced God's patience while you were resisting Him?3. In what area are you tempted to demand "fairness" from God instead of trusting His justice?4. Do you relate more to the prodigal or the older brother right now?5. What practical step of repentance do you need to take today?6. How does being "clay" change how you view your current limitations?
In this episode of The Brad Jensen Show, I sit down with my friend Jack Hollow, a nutrition coach and personal trainer out of the great country of Australia. Jack and I originally connected on Instagram because we realized we see the world of health and fitness through a very similar lens. No fluff. No extremes. No chasing trends. Just principles that actually work. This conversation goes way beyond sets, reps, and macros. We break down some of the most dangerous trends circulating in the fitness industry right now. From extreme dieting approaches to all-or-nothing mindsets, we talk about why so many people are being pulled in the wrong direction and what actually creates sustainable results. We also dive into something that doesn't get talked about enough: mental health as a coach. What does it really look like to hold space for clients? How do you manage your own stress while helping others manage theirs? Where is the line between coaching, therapy, and responsibility? Jack shares his perspective from working with clients in Australia, and I share what I've seen building Next Level Nutrition and working with driven dads who are trying to balance performance, family, and identity. Toward the end, the conversation naturally shifts into something deeper. We talk about growth outside of fitness. Identity. Purpose. Faith. Responsibility. What it actually means to live in alignment. It turned into one of those conversations that reminds you this work is about so much more than body fat percentage. If you're a coach, a high performer, or someone trying to build a stronger body and a stronger mind at the same time, this one will hit.

Send a textBlame feels quick, but it's the slow lane. We dig into why pointing the finger protects the ego while quietly stealing momentum, and how a simple shift—owning the outcome—can speed everything up. Using a real moment from our workflow with a new podcast editor, we show how unclear standards, missing examples, and weak onboarding lead to frustration, and how reframing the problem as our responsibility unlocks practical fixes that stick.We walk through the “point the thumb” rule and apply it to everyday situations: running late because of a coffee line, snapping in an argument, or assuming a teammate “should have known.” Instead of hunting for who to blame, we ask, “What could I have done to prevent this?” That single question turns excuses into actions: define “done,” write a one-page brief, share before-and-after examples, schedule a quick kickoff, and build a short review loop with clear acceptance criteria. In personal relationships, it looks like pausing before reacting, restating what you heard, and owning your tone and timing before stating what you need.This conversation isn't about letting others off the hook; it's about choosing the only lever you fully control. Responsibility compresses timelines, strengthens trust, and reduces repeat mistakes because it upgrades the system instead of escalating the conflict. Blame stalls; ownership compounds. If you're ready to move faster toward your goals with less drama and more clarity, this mindset will change your week.If the message lands, share this episode with a friend who's ready to swap excuses for action, and subscribe so you never miss Five Minute Friday.

Joe Lindsley is a traveler and a writer, and American reporting from Ukraine every day of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility.

With recent CDC data showing that teenagers get nearly 62% of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods, the need for teens to learn real cooking skills has never been more urgent. But where do you start? In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ The Gradual Release of Responsibility – How parents can progressively build teen independence from childhood through launch, and why letting kids fail safely is one of the hardest but most important parts of parenting
Is adulthood a scam? The freedom we craved often brings crushing responsibility. Stop trying to prove you can handle it all alone. Learn to release your burdens to the Shepherd who offers true rest for your soul today.This devotional was aired on Radio HCI Today via the WeLove Radio App.
After three decades of building organizations, systems, and leaders, experience teaches us more than how to lead — it teaches us what leadership requires. In this episode of Daily Influence, Brian Smith, PhD reflects on how leadership evolves from proving capability to stewarding responsibility. As influence expands, so does obligation — not just to results, but to people, systems, culture, and long-term impact. This conversation explores why mature leadership is less about speed and ego, and more about judgment, awareness, and intentional influence — especially in times of division, pressure, and constant visibility. Because influence is always happening. The question is how carefully we choose to use it.
The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy
The Epstein Files Fallout: Navigating Client Trauma, Justice Fatigue, and Clinical Responsibility In this episode of the Modern Therapist's Survival Guide, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy explore the emotional and clinical fallout following the release of the Epstein files. Rather than reacting to breaking news, they focus on what happens after the headlines fade—when trauma resurfaces, justice feels out of reach, and both clients and therapists are left carrying the weight. This conversation examines how trauma responses show up in the therapy room, how therapists can avoid minimization or burnout, and what clinical responsibility looks like when systems fail and outrage turns into numbness. Key takeaways for therapists: How public disclosures can retraumatize survivors and trigger moral injury Why clients may experience numbness, irritability, or hopelessness instead of anger How to ethically hold space without rushing clients toward resolution Ways therapists can manage their own exposure and remain grounded The importance of containment, validation, and agency during collective trauma Full show notes and resources available at:https://mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community: Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCannhttps://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Manganohttps://groomsymusic.com/

Lawyers have always relied on tools—but AI is different. It doesn't just assist with tasks; it makes decisions, applies judgment, and shapes outcomes. In episode #602 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Damien Riehl about what ethical responsibility looks like when AI starts doing legal work on its own. Their conversation examines how AI systems embed values, why verification matters more than transparency, and how lawyers can responsibly use tools they don't fully understand. They also explore what legal expertise looks like in an AI-powered future—and why intuition, trust, and integrity may matter more than ever as machines take over the “widgets” of legal work.

This episode of MakingChips is different from most conversations we have on the show, and it needed to be. In late 2025, the manufacturing community was shaken by the murder of Amber Czech, a welder who was killed by a coworker after reporting harassment multiple times. That tragedy forced many of us to confront an uncomfortable truth: workplace violence and harassment are not abstract issues. They are real, ongoing, and present in the trades today. In this episode, Paul Van Metre is joined by Nush Ahmed, CEO of Sisterhood of Trades, along with two national experts who work directly on workplace violence and gender justice. Jessica Stender of Equal Rights Advocates and Anna Van Balen of Futures Without Violence bring decades of experience working with employers, workers, and policymakers to help address harassment, escalation, and prevention in real workplaces. Together, we talk candidly about how harassment often becomes normalized in the trades, why underreporting is so common, and how unchecked behavior can escalate into violence. We also discuss what shop owners and leaders can do today, not just to comply with the law, but to build workplaces that are genuinely safe, respectful, and welcoming. This conversation is about responsibility. It's about leadership. And it's about recognizing that culture, policies, and daily behavior all play a role in preventing harm. For owners, managers, and anyone who cares about the future of manufacturing, this episode is a call to take workplace safety seriously, before another tragedy forces the issue.

Gage shares his best practices for attending Natural Products Expo West – the biggest trade show in the United States for the better-for-the-world product industry! Tune in to hear 10 tips for making the most of the show, based on Gage's ~15 years of experience attending Expo West as a brand, packaging, booth, and campaign designer who's helped some of the industry most beloved brands stand out at the show. Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO. Divide and conquer with your team if you can.If you've been going as long as I have, you'll wish you could spend time with all your friends, collaborators, clients, podcast guests, and more… but it's best to be at peace with what you can do instead of worrying about what you can't.10. Follow Through Take notes on business cards, in an app, or wherever works for you because you won't remember every conversation, idea, or to-do item.Digest what you learned, who you met, and how you want to follow up each evening before that information gets too foggy.Make social posts each day, because you'll be too burned out and busy to catch up on social media after the show.Follow up with people during and after the show to solidify that new connection.Links:Natural Products Expo West: https://www.expowest.com/en/home.html10 Tips to Crush Expo West Download: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing.

On today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we continue unpacking the devastating revelations found in the Epstein files. What's been exposed isn't just corruption, it's a system that protects powerful criminals while innocent victims are silenced.The facts are very disturbing. There has been absolutely no accountability. And the victims deserve more than headlines and non-answers.We're asking hard questions about leadership, responsibility, and why justice still feels so out of reach. If powerful names are involved, then powerful action must follow. No more silence. No more avoidance. The victims deserve truth, and they deserve justice. NOW.--https://www.bible.com/
Send a textIn this episode, I sit down with Kristina Morros, a former critical care nurse anesthetist and the founder of Get Healthy or Get Dead.Kristina shares her journey from working inside the medical system to advocating for functional medicine, patient education, and personal responsibility in health. We talk openly about where the healthcare system works well — especially in emergencies — and where it falls short when it comes to creating long-term health.Kristina explains why focusing on root causes like gut health, hormones, stress, sleep, hydration, and movement matters more than chasing quick fixes or health trends. We also discuss how stress and nervous system regulation are still widely underestimated, and why modern life keeps so many people stuck in a constant state of overload.We touch on the pandemic, misinformation, and why so many people have lost trust in institutions — and how that makes it even more important to stay curious, ask questions, and take an active role in your own health decisions.This conversation is about balance, awareness, and getting back to basics. Not extremes. Not perfection. Just honest, practical steps toward feeling better and staying healthy long term.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health advice or unsure who to trust, this episode will help you zoom out, think critically, and reconnect with what really matters.Find Kristina Morros here:Website & coaching:https://kristinamorros.com https://gethealthyorgetdead.comBook + resources:https://gethealthyorgetdead.comSubstack:https://gethealthyorgetdead.substack.comInstagram: @gethealthyorgetdead

In this message, Ben Cachiaras, lead pastor of Mountain Christian Church in Joppa, Maryland, explores the importance of taking responsibility in our lives. There is great importance in seeking wisdom and awareness from God, asking Him to illuminate areas that need attention because it's easy to fall into the trap of blaming others for things we are responsible for ourselves. Ben challenges us to look in the mirror, own our part, and take action. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/326/29?v=20251111

Summary In this In the Trenches episode, Andy talks with Norman Patnode, Principal at ProChain Solutions, about what it really takes to deliver projects faster and more predictably. With a background in aerospace engineering, the Air Force, and decades of consulting, Norman brings a systems-level perspective to project delivery that goes far beyond managing task lists. They explore the difference between task management and project management, why critical chain thinking shifts the conversation from dates to priorities, and how changing a few key rules can dramatically improve delivery performance. Norman shares why "prioritize, focus, and finish" is more than a slogan, how multitasking quietly robs teams of productivity, and what leaders can do to create clarity and alignment. You'll also hear insights about managing constraints, learning how to learn, and why curiosity is one of the most valuable leadership traits. If you're looking for practical, systems-based ways to improve delivery and reduce chaos on your projects, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Critical chain is a system to help you get projects done faster and more predictably." "Critical chain is really about how do we help people prioritize, focus, and finish." "I would never go back to what I was doing before. It has ruined me. I just wouldn't live in that world again." "Multitasking robs project teams of anywhere from 15 to 65% of their productivity." "If there are no priorities, then really none of them are important." "The focus is not on getting to a perfect schedule. It's on creating and strengthening alignment of the team's effort." "Reality is undefeated." "Any system has a very few number of constraints, usually one." "If you manage the constraint, you manage the system." "You don't have to learn everything. You just have to be curious and learn how to learn." "Big, impactful things in the world get done through projects." Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:33 Start of Interview 01:41 Norman's Current Role and Responsibilities 02:20 Norman's Career Journey 07:00 Task Management vs. True Project Management 10:40 Introducing Critical Chain 15:41 Common Objections to Critical Chain 17:20 Changing the Rules to Improve Delivery 22:56 A Powerful Leadership Habit 25:54 Career Lessons and Critical Turning Points 31:32 How Norman Continues to Develop Himself 35:53 How to Connect with Norman 36:17 End of Interview 36:56 Andy Comments After the Interview 40:37 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Norman and his work at ProChain.com. Connect with Norman on LinkedIn here: LinkedIn.com/in/npatnode/ For more learning on this topic, check out: Episode 472 with Mark Reich. It's a discussion about lean, which is certainly not precisely the same as critical chain or theory of constraints. But Mark is similarly geeky about how to improve how we go about projects. I think you'll find episode 472 a great follow-up to today's discussion. Episode 328 with Terry Schmidt. Terry's passion is LogFrame, and though it's different from what we talked about today, Terry's geekiness for LogFrame could inspire you to think differently about projects. Episode 320 with Greg Githins. Greg wrote a book about thinking strategically. All I'll say is that if you and I could sit with these three guests and talk over coffee, we'd have quite an insightful and interesting chat!

In this episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn welcome guest Tim D to the coffee shop for a raw exploration of recovery titled "No Longer Paralyzed—healing through ‘help.'" The trio dives into the defining habits of alcoholism and the realization that while habits drive us, we have the power to shift from cycles of negativity to victories. They reflect on the "box" of addiction that once kept them paralyzed and why the simple, repeated action of attending meetings remains a vital lifeline. Key Discussion Points:The Power of Help: Challenging the stigma of reaching out, the group discusses why asking for help is a "superpower" and the essential act of "ripping off the mask" to find clarity.Action Over Impulse: A deep look at why we often don't "feel" like doing the right thing, but choose to do it anyway to maintain the gift of sobriety.New Beginnings: How new members energize the program by reminding veterans of where they came from, reinforcing that most don't have "another relapse" in them.Responsibility in a Troubling World: Navigating a society filled with conflicting opinions by focusing on personal responsibility and being "aware" enough to choose life over a drink. “I walk the sober path of recovery intensely and reap rewards beyond imagination... If I can help one individual toward sober success, my purpose has been fulfilled.”ABOUT US - Sober Coffee

In a world that constantly pressures men to outsource responsibility, comfort has become a substitute for competence and dependence is sold as safety. But sovereignty isn't something given to you by institutions, culture, or circumstance. It's secured through discipline, ownership, and a commitment to lead yourself first. In this episode, we're talking about what it really means to secure your sovereignty—mentally, physically, financially, and morally—so no one else gets to dictate the terms of your life. My guest today, Ian Wendt, joins me for a powerful conversation on reclaiming authority over your decisions, your time, and your future. We dig into the hidden trade-offs men make when they surrender control, the systems that quietly erode independence, and the practical steps required to stand firm as a self-governed man in an increasingly unstable world. This isn't about rebellion, it's about responsibility. If you're serious about protecting what you've built and leading with clarity and conviction, this is a conversation you need to hear.

Zach begins a three-part series with Brian and Kristen, longtime MTR listeners who volunteered to work through their marriage challenges in real time. Brian and Kristen have been together for more than two decades and credit Marriage Therapy Radio as a resource that helped them find language for patterns they felt—but couldn't name. They describe how listening separately (not together) gave them neutral ground to reflect, build vocabulary, and bring conversations back into their marriage without escalating conflict. The focus of this first session is a familiar cycle: Brian's defensiveness, Kristen's experience of being misunderstood, and the growing frustration around repair always landing on one partner. Zach helps them slow the pattern down, name the dynamics at play, and examine how early family modeling, parenting pressure, and long-term habits have shaped their responses to conflict. Rather than trying to “fix” the marriage, this episode centers on clarity: understanding what actually happens when things go off the rails, differentiating between feeling attacked and being attacked, and identifying where each partner has agency. Zach reframes responsibility not as blame, but as freedom—emphasizing that each partner can choose how they show up regardless of the other's behavior. The episode closes with a concrete assignment: mapping their recurring argument step-by-step so they can externalize the pattern and begin changing it together in the next session. Key Takeaways Long marriages still require new skills as life circumstances change Defensiveness often comes from perceived threat, not actual attack Feeling misunderstood can be as painful as being criticized Responsibility is most powerful when it's chosen, not demanded Repair patterns can unintentionally create resentment Taking breaks during conflict can prevent escalation and shutdown Naming the pattern creates options for change Playfulness and lightness are essential for long-term connection Why This Episode Matters This episode offers a rare, transparent look at the beginning of relational work—not the polished outcome. Brian and Kristen model what it looks like to be curious, honest, and willing to be seen while still feeling stuck. For listeners, this is an invitation to recognize familiar patterns in their own relationships and to remember: insight is the first step, not the finish line. Learn more about your ad choices.

They explore a fascinating discovery: Silkworth published his "allergy theory" in a 1937 medical journal—two years before the Big Book—challenging the common AA legend about why he initially hesitated to put his name in print.The hosts discuss why the Doctor's Opinion matters less for its 1939 medical accuracy and more for what it tells newly sober people: you have a condition, not a character flaw. Matt and Steve get real about the difference between the physical reality of addiction (not your fault) and the actions taken while drinking (your responsibility to address).Steve shares his own parallel journey with weight management and GLP-1 drugs, drawing powerful connections between different types of medical conditions that were once viewed as moral failings. The conversation unpacks why self-knowledge alone isn't enough to stay sober, the role of dopamine in addiction, and why removing shame is the first barrier that needs to fall.Whether you're brand new to sobriety or years into recovery, this episode offers a compassionate, science-informed perspective on what's really happening in your brain and body—and why that understanding is the foundation for everything that follows.Links to the two articles Silkworth wrote in 1937:Alcoholism as a Manifestation of AllergyReclamation of the AlcoholicSupport the show

What happens when danger comes from where you least expect it? Bart Womack dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving the United States Army, rising to the highest enlisted ranks and leading soldiers in combat, training, and some of the most sacred roles in military service. But one moment forever changed his understanding of trust, leadership, and survival when he became a firsthand survivor of a deadly insider attack carried out by a fellow American soldier. This episode explores the psychological impact of betrayal, the long road to healing after trauma, and how Bart transformed one of the darkest moments of his life into a mission focused on prevention, awareness, and leadership. His story is not just about military service — it's about resilience, responsibility, and choosing purpose after devastation. Guest Bio Command Sergeant Major (Ret.) Bart E. Womack served over 29 years in the United States Army, holding elite roles including Drill Sergeant, Ranger Instructor, and Sergeant of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A two-time combat veteran, Bart retired after serving as both Commandant of the 101st Airborne Division Noncommissioned Officers Academy and Command Sergeant Major of the 101st Airborne Division. Following his military career, Bart transitioned into film, consulting, and veteran advocacy, working in Hollywood as a military technical advisor and supporting veterans through education and mentorship. He is the author of Embedded Enemy, which recounts his survival of a deadly insider attack, and he now serves as a speaker and security consultant focused on mitigating insider threats and active shooter incidents.
