Daily Boost Podcast Show Notes Why Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone Is Wrong August 19, 2025 | Episode 5162 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description How many times have you been told to "get out of your comfort zone"? Scott challenges that conventional wisdom with a fresh perspective that'll change how you think about growth. Using his recent motorcycle adventure through Tennessee and North Carolina mountains as a backdrop, he reveals why expanding your comfort zone beats jumping out of it completely. You'll discover the bubble framework that makes personal growth feel natural instead of terrifying. This episode will shift your approach to challenges forever. Featured Story Scott shares his adrenaline-fueled motorcycle journey through the twisty mountain roads of Tennessee and North Carolina. Riding on the edge for seven hours a day with the constant awareness that one wrong move could be fatal, he and his crew lived by one rule: "ride your own ride." This white-knuckle adventure becomes the perfect metaphor for how to approach your comfort zone – push the limits without breaking the bubble. Important Points Your comfort zone is like a soap bubble that can expand without breaking, and staying inside while stretching it is more effective than jumping out completely. Small, consistent steps at the edge of your comfort zone create bigger changes over time than massive leaps that might overwhelm you. Balance between challenge and comfort has restorative value, helping you maintain momentum without burning out. Memorable Quotes "Almost everything you know right now happened because you got out of your comfort zone." "Ride your own ride – don't get pulled out of your comfort zone just to keep up with somebody else." "Go out on the edge as far as you can, staying within your bubble, but don't leave that bubble." Scott's Three-Step Approach Identify one small area where you can stretch just beyond your current comfort level without completely leaving your zone. Practice the "bubble expansion" mindset by taking small, consistent actions that challenge you while maintaining your sense of safety. Remember to alternate between challenge and comfort, giving yourself recovery time to maintain balance and avoid overwhelm. Connect With Me Search for The Daily Boost on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Ben and Brent kick off Friday's show talking about the Blue Jays' impressive victory in the final game of their three game set against the Cubs to secure another series win. They look at the key players in the game for Toronto, most notably Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Max Scherzer. B&B start with "Mad Max" and ask if he's the starter they trust most right now. They pivot to Vladdy's performance and discuss why he looks primed to carry this team down the stretch. The duo also check in on the bullpen and the group's ceiling, before giving their thoughts on Canadian Owen Cassie after his debut for the Cubs. They close out the hour looking at Keegan Bradley, his mindset, and what he really wants to happen at the Ryder Cup, along with a potential beef brewing between Tom Brady and Wayne Rooney.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In this episode of the Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker welcomes back Brian Laks of Old West Management for his third appearance on the show. Brian shares deep insights into uranium, copper, gold, and the broader metals market. They revisit Old West's early uranium thesis and how it has evolved, assess copper's growing strategic importance, and examine gold's unique demand drivers. The conversation covers supply-demand imbalances, government involvement in critical minerals, tariffs, and how AI's energy demands tie back to metals. Brian also explains how Old West balances long-term macro views with valuation discipline and opportunistic trading within metals and mining.______________________________________________________________________[00:00:00] Andrew introduces guest Brian Laks.[00:03:08] Uranium thesis from early investments.[00:05:38] Riding valuation cycles in uranium.[00:09:05] Spot vs. long-term uranium prices.[00:12:43] Sentiment extremes create buying opportunities.[00:17:16] Market still underestimating uranium demand.[00:21:24] Uranium vs. other metal exposures.[00:26:20] Copper becomes major portfolio focus.[00:27:27] Gold's demand harder to forecast.[00:32:54] Why metals hitting all-time highs.[00:36:56] Copper's strategic demand and supply gap.[00:42:30] Prices needed for copper expansion.[00:44:44] Tariffs' effect on copper valuations.[00:48:27] Government support for critical minerals.[00:53:44] Old West's broader investment outlook.Links:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

Send us a textEver feel caught between pushing harder and pulling back? That tension point is exactly what we explore in this candid conversation about navigating life's demands while still pursuing your goals.In this episode, we break down the delicate art of knowing when to go all-in and when to conserve energy. This balance isn't just about training—it's a universal principle that applies to careers, relationships, and personal development.The concept of "minimum effective dose" becomes crucial during high-stress periods. We share how maintaining non-negotiables (nutrition, hydration, sleep) while adjusting training intensity helped us stay on track despite additional life demands. Communication is key. Whether with your coach, training partner or life partner, transparency about life stressors allows for intelligent adjustments before burnout hits. We discuss how many athletes wait too long to communicate challenges, missing opportunities for proactive changes to their training and or schedule.Perhaps most valuable is our exploration of the power of planning. Even for the spontaneous among us like Nate, having a framework creates freedom rather than limitation. A good plan doesn't mean rigid adherence—it means having direction when chaos strikes.The payoff for this strategic approach isn't immediate gratification but sustainable progress toward meaningful goals. Whether you're preparing for competition, career advancement, or simply trying to balance multiple life demands, mastering this push-pull dynamic could be your secret weapon.Ready to apply these principles to your training and life?

Today, the Two Mikes spoke for a few minutes with Dimitri Makarov, who is senior assistant to the Russian Foreign Minister. Mr. Makarov noted that Russia's government is tired of Trump's constantly changing positions and threats on Ukraine. Ukraine, he said, is a genuine problem for Russia. Even before the current war began, the Ukrainian government had been killing thousands of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine. This was made worse by United States and NATO overthrowing a legitimately elected pro-Russia president, eventually replacing him the addicted clown Zelensky, and then helping his regime to wage war against Russia. Makarov said none of the actors in this mess showed any interest in Russia's national interests, and NATO and The U.S. did nothing but force war to start and then send many billions of dollars of arms to Zelinsky. Makarov said that Russia will now end the war on its term and apparently without any Western help. So be it, Russian security comes first he said, and while Moscow would welcome general cooperation with NATO, that organization clearly wants war with Russia, and Trump seems to have again kowtowed to NATO's position on Ukraine, an organization he does not seem to realize died the day the Berlin Wall fell. Overall, Makarov said, Russia “really does not care what the United States and its leaders think about Russia.” Russia could work with the United States, he added, if it miraculously reacquired its adulthood, but as long as Trump is riding the Zelensky-forever train to hell, Moscow will serve its own interests as it sees them, and the Western morons can take the hindmost.

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I'm diving into how life is kinda' like riding waves in the ocean – unpredictable, sometimes rough, but also a little more manageable if you know how to navigate them. I tell a story about a fun day at the beach with my sister, where we got tossed around by waves, and I realized that this is exactly how life works. Sometimes you gotta' go over the wave, sometimes you gotta' go under, and sometimes you just get completely knocked on your ass - but the key is how you respond to what's coming at you. I also break down a favorite mindfulness practice called BRFWA (Breathe, Relax, Feel, Watch, Allow) that's basically a spiritual survival guide for handling life's crazy moments. The big takeaway?You can't control the waves (aka life and its challenges), but you can absolutely choose how you want to ride them. I share some ocean-inspired wisdom - like not turning your back on challenges, swimming parallel to shore when you're feeling overwhelmed, and remembering to call for help when you need it!It's about staying curious and compassionate, and not getting stuck in trying to control mode. Whether you're dealing with a tough spot in your relationship, some work stress, or just the general “people be people-ing” of being human, this episode is your guide to staying buoyant and resilient. I'm all about sharing practical tools to help you not just survive when you're struggling or suffering, but to actually enjoy the ride - waves, wipeouts, and all!So, I encourage you to give this sucker a listen and try BRFWA for yourself, and let's ride these life waves together! KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:Life Happenings:• You can't control the waves of life, but you can control your response.• Suffering often comes from resisting what's happening.• Challenges in life are inevitable, but our approach is a choice.• Fear often drives our need to want to control people and things.BRFWA - Mindfulness Technique: • Breathe deeply to help calm your nervous system.• Relax your muscles, soften your grip, and release physical tension.• Feel sensations without any judgment or resistance.• Watch your experiences with compassionate awareness.• Allow things to unfold without forcing or controlling outcomes.Practical Ocean/Life Metaphors: • Don't turn your back on challenges.• Orient yourself to supportive people and practices.• Swim parallel to shore when feeling overwhelmed.• Call for help when you need support.• Float and rest when you're exhausted. Mindset Shifts: • Respond from love, instead of reacting from fear.• Practice curiosity over judgment.• Develop non-judgmental self-awareness.• Remember you are Love, regardless of circumstances.• Use simple prayers like "Please Help Me" when struggling. Emotional Resilience Tools: • Meet difficult feelings with compassion.• Create space for your emotions.• Don't abandon yourself during tough times.• Seek perspective beyond your immediate experience.• Recognize that your true Self remains unchanged. BIO:Spiritual mentor and writer Karen Kenney uses humor and dynamic storytelling to bring a down-to-earth, no-BS perspective to self-development. Bringing together tools that coach the conscious and unconscious mind, Karen helps clients deepen their connections with Self, and discover their unique understandings of...
Six days, two countries, multiple ferries, and one very stubborn e-bike brake magnet later, the Lake Ontario circumnavigation attempt has wrapped up in ways both expected and completely unforeseen. What started as an ambitious 540-mile loop around one of the Great Lakes became a masterclass in adventure adaptation, international border logistics, and the reality of shoulder season touring. On this episode, takeaways from a trip that delivered lessons extending far beyond the original route plan. Lake Ontario 2025 Takeaways 1. Plan for Ferry Contingencies Ferry schedules can be unreliable, especially early or late in the season. The US-Canada ferry that was supposed to be running for Memorial Day weekend simply wasn't operational, despite being a critical piece of the route. Always have backup plans for ferry-dependent routes and call ahead rather than assuming seasonal schedules are accurate. 2. E-bike Mechanical Knowledge is Essential This adventure nearly ended before it began due to a simple brake magnet issue that couldn't be initially diagnosed. If you're planning to tour with an e-bike, invest time in learning the electrical components and common failure points. Carry backup magnets, electrical tape, and basic electrical tools. 3. Weight Distribution Matters More on E-bikes The combination of heavy batteries, chargers, and touring gear created concerns about spoke and wheel integrity on a bike not designed for that load. Consider front panniers or other weight distribution solutions when carrying substantial battery backup systems for longer tours. 4. International Border Crossings Require Flexibility International bike touring adds layers of complexity that can derail plans. Without vehicle backup, a cyclist would have been stranded when the expected ferry crossing wasn't running. Research multiple crossing points and have contingency transportation options for international routes. 5. E-bikes Excel at "Twice the Speed, Half the Effort" Consistently maintaining 20+ mph with moderate effort effectively doubles your range compared to acoustic cycling. This opens up longer day rides and different touring philosophies - you can cover more ground in less time or take more time to explore without distance pressure. 6. Shoulder Season Has Trade-offs Riding in late May meant fewer crowds and cooler temperatures, but also meant many seasonal services weren't yet operational. Consider what matters more for your trip: solitude and cooler weather, or full service availability and guaranteed open businesses. 7. Battery Management is Both Psychological and Practical Having two batteries completely eliminated range anxiety and changed the entire riding approach. The faster-charging newer battery became primary, with the backup providing peace of mind. Invest in quality charging equipment and understand your system's charging capabilities and timing. 8. Vehicle-Supported Adventures Have Merit While purists might prefer self-supported touring, hybrid approaches can still deliver meaningful bike experiences while providing important safety nets. Sometimes adapting your adventure style is better than canceling entirely when plans go sideways. 9. Memorial or Meaningful Rides Can Evolve Despite not completing the original circumnavigation plan, the spiritual goal of honoring family through cycling around meaningful places was still achieved. The intention and connection to place often matters more than perfect execution of your original route. 10. Equipment Confidence Takes Time and Experience The relationship with the e-bike evolved from skeptical to confident over the course of the trip. Don't expect immediate comfort with new bike setups - allow for a learning curve and consider adventures like this as extended shakedown rides for future longer tours. Bonus Insight: Toronto Island proved to be an unexpected highlight, demonstrating that some of the best bike touring moments come from unplanned discoveries when you maintain flexibility to explore interesting detours.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Sarah Ruggins—a high-achieving investment professional, academic powerhouse, and now a record-breaking ultra-endurance cyclist. From her early days as a national-level track athlete in Canada to surviving complex PTSD and rebuilding her life, Sarah's journey is one of transformation, resilience, and radical self-belief. In 2023, Sarah competed in the Transcontinental Bike Race, and in 2025, she took on her most audacious challenge yet: cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End and back again—2,715 km in just 5 days, 11 hours, and 14 minutes, setting a new outright record. This conversation dives deep into the planning, training, and mindset behind the ride—from strength work and 3:30 AM mornings to battling hallucinations, sleep deprivation, and pain barriers. Sarah shares her three-part mantra—Focus, Discipline, Gratitude—and unpacks how elite performance is built in the margins: with structure, strategy, and sacrifice. Whether you're chasing a personal goal or looking for motivation to push your own limits, this is an episode that will fuel your fire.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Sharon Evans, also known as the Free Wheeling Kiwi—a 58-year-old adventurer, storyteller, and passionate advocate for women embracing the outdoors, especially later in life. Sharon shares the incredible story of walking the full Te Araroa Trail, a 3,000km thru-hike stretching the length of New Zealand. Alongside her partner, she tackled harsh weather, blisters, foot pain, and relentless terrain—proving that age is no barrier to adventure. Five years ago, Sharon made the bold decision to walk away from her rural real estate career and pursue a life filled with purpose, exploration, and connection to nature. In this conversation, we explore her motivations, the magical (and muddy) moments on the trail, and her mission to empower women over 50 to step into the wild with confidence. Sharon also shares practical tips for low-cost adventuring, content creation on the go, and how she's continuing her journey by heading to Australia's rugged Larapinta Trail next. If you're looking for inspiration to follow your passion—no matter your age—this episode is for you. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)!

Can we talk about how great Steve Guttenberg is? He is obviously a terrific actor and has been working longer than I've been alive, but he is also just such a source of positivity— I could have kept talking to him for hours! You of course know Steve Guttenberg from iconic roles like Michael Kellam in Three Men and a Baby, Carey Mahoney in Police Academy or Jack Bonner in Cocoon. Since that time he has really matured into a character actor and he continues to act in TV and movies all the time. We talk about how he has gone about building a career that lasts and how he surrounds himself with grounded, positive people. We also have a moving conversation about his book Time to Thank, in which he writes about his experience being a caregiver for his father toward the end of his life. If you are in need of a pump-up speech or a dose of happy positivity, this is the episode for you! Be sure to stick around after our conversation for the Hindsight where my producer Jeph and I talk about all things Guttenberg, including the absolutely insane story he tells about sneaking onto the Paramount lot when he was a teenager.

What happens when a teenager growing up without TV in rural Canada stumbles across CNBC in a college dorm and sees people making $100,000 in a day? For Chris Vermeulen, that moment changed everything—and kicked off a 25-year journey of trading triumphs, painful losses, and profound strategy shifts. In this episode, you'll meet a trader who's lived through the tech bubble, the 2008 financial crisis, and everything in between. Chris doesn't chase headlines or hype—he follows price, momentum, and something most traders overlook entirely: vibration and cycles. From blowing up accounts to walking away from day trading altogether, Chris now rides the market's waves with a calm, calculated edge—making just 5 to 12 trades a year, knowing exactly when to sit still and wait for the right wave. His approach might challenge what you believe about risk, emotion, and even diversification. About Chris Vermeulen: Chris is a seasoned position trader with over two decades of experience navigating market cycles—from the tech bubble to the 2008 financial crisis and beyond. He's the author of Technical Trading Mastery and the newly released Asset Revesting, where he introduces a disciplined, momentum-based strategy for managing risk and maximizing returns. He also founded The Technical Traders. Rejecting traditional buy-and-hold thinking but also having moved away from day trading, Chris believes that true portfolio growth comes from owning assets in confirmed uptrends and rotating out of those losing strength. His approach emphasizes technical analysis, price action, and timing over diversification, aiming to protect capital while achieving above-average returns.
