In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Craig Harrison, a former British military sniper renowned for holding the world record for the longest sniper shot in combat history. Craig takes us through his 23-year military career, starting from his strict upbringing and early days in the Household Cavalry, to his intense deployments across Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He vividly describes the immense pressure and meticulous skill required of a sniper, culminating in the extraordinary events in Helmand Province that led to his record-breaking engagement. The conversation then shifts to the profound personal cost of his service. Craig offers an incredibly raw and vulnerable look at his severe struggles with combat PTSD, the devastating impact of traumatic brain injuries resulting from IEDs, and his harrowing battle with suicidal thoughts. He speaks candidly about the difficult journey of navigating mental health challenges, the vital importance of seeking help, and the unwavering support of his wife, Tanya. Craig also shares how he found a new sense of purpose by founding the Maverick Survival School, a nature-based retreat dedicated to helping veterans open up, connect, and heal from their own traumas.

BNR POD: The Truth About High School Life – Students Open Up

Matthew Martinez joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up after losing his mom at a young age, being raised by his dad, and finding an early passion for drawing and creativity that would later shape his life. Matthew had never been arrested until he was 23 years old, when a gun charge led to a 3.5-year sentence in New York State prison. In this episode, he talks about what it was like going from never being in trouble to doing real time, and how he used his talent for art to survive on the inside, turning drawing into a hustle behind bars. He also shares how that same skill gave him a second chance after release, ultimately becoming a tattoo artist and rebuilding his life. This is a real conversation about mistakes, adaptation, and turning a talent into a way out. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #PrisonHustle #PrisonLife #ExConvict #RealStories #ArtInPrison #LockedInPodcast #LifeAfterPrison _____________________________________________ Connect with Matthew Martinez: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paintedpeopleartstudio?igsh=MXcxcGRnZWZsaXRvYg== Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paintedpeopleartstudio?_r=1&_t=ZP-95STf7ARNbb _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Gun Charge & Arrest (Full Story) 01:51 Growing Up in New York 03:38 Family Struggles, Loss & Upbringing 10:12 School Life & Early Passions 14:34 Using Art as Therapy 18:10 Life Changes & Becoming a Father 23:30 Arrest, Charges & The Case 33:40 Sentencing, Prison Time & Lessons Learned 38:43 Life in Prison: Politics & Survival 42:22 Hustling in Prison: Art & Making Money 49:23 Prison Tattoo Culture Explained 55:28 Turning Art Into Opportunity Behind Bars 01:02:20 Prison Jobs, Programs & Early Release 01:10:07 Solitary Confinement & Prison Challenges 01:18:14 Life After Prison & Rebuilding 01:26:13 Tattoo Career & Personal Growth 01:29:18 Fatherhood, Family & Giving Back 01:36:35 Final Lessons & Reflections _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the Carolina Cabinet, host Peter Pappas and co-host Laura Musler are joined by House Representative Frances Jackson for a lively and thoughtful conversation covering the pulse of Cumberland County and beyond. The group starts with some lighthearted banter before diving into Representative Jackson's wide-ranging career—from her early days as a transportation planner for Cumberland County to navigating policy challenges as a legislator, and now to her role as an educator adapting to remote and asynchronous learning.Frances Jackson opens up about the pressures of complying with state mandates, the ongoing water dispute with Fuquay-Varina, and the real-life obstacles teachers and students face in today's classrooms. The discussion weaves in everything from the importance of “old-school” community engagement to frustrations over budget delays, and why institutional knowledge is critical in government. Plus, get an inside look at Jackson's campaign for re-election, her passion for strengthening education, and the growing needs of Hope Mills' senior community.Whether you care about local politics, education reform, or just want to hear what's really happening behind the scenes in your community, this episode brings together the voices and real talk that make the Carolina Cabinet the region's smartest hour of radio.

For some teens, when the school day ends, the pressure doesn't always stop, but the Boise Brick House is changing that.

We sit down with a seasoned teacher and a college student who share what it means to follow Jesus in environments filled with pressure, influence, opportunity, and constant demands. Through their stories of integrity tested, faith lived out in community, and small choices that shape who we become, they offer practical encouragement for anyone trying to walk with Jesus in their everyday routines.

This episode focuses on belonging and inclusion in the secondary school – namely how can we ensure that every student can take part in school life. Our panel of experienced school leaders define what "belonging" means in the context of a busy secondary school. We talk school culture: what does a culture of inclusion and belonging involve, how can we develop this in a natural way, and what approaches are in place at our guests' schools – especially when it comes to welcoming new students in year 7. We talk about the role of school staff in fostering belonging and inclusive practice, including in the classroom, and some of the key strategies we can employ. We talk behaviour and what kind of approaches to behaviour management and expectations can support a culture of belonging – including understanding where our families are coming from. We also touch on inclusive curriculum design and delivery, including how to audit our curriculum for inclusivity and what curriculum "accessibility" actually means. And finally talk attendance and family engagement. How we can reduce student absence via a culture of belonging and how can we engage with families to extend this feeling of belonging into our communities.

The purpose of life is to release the inner blockages (samskaras) that obscure the natural flow of energy and keep us trapped in patterns of fear, desire, and resistance. External events are not punishments but opportunities to see and let go of what is stored within, transforming suffering into growth. Liberation comes through non-resistance, relaxation, and surrender—using every moment of life as a chance to purify and return to the wholeness of the Self. © Sounds True Inc.

On this week's episode, should we be worried about Keir Starmer's digital IDs when, according to Sarah, we're a slave to the digital idiom as it is. Not that Peter quite sees it like that. Nor do the pair see eye to eye on the raising of children and what staying at home means for the parents or baby. Voices were raised, thoughts were shared, it would be untrue to say compromises were met.Elsewhere, Peter doesn't know what car he drives, its size he's fairly sure of and that it can get him to the occasional funerals of his friends. Sarah told him to check the badge on the bonnet, which went well.On our reading, watch and listening list this week: · Boomers: The Men and Women Who Promised Freedom and Delivered Disaster – Helen Andrews· The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life – Arthur Firstenberg· Girl, 20 – Kingsley Amis· Flashman at the Charge - George MacDonald Fraser· Night Watch: A Discworld Novel – Terry Pratchett · Down with Skool!

John Lendall's life spiraled before it ever had a chance to begin. Growing up in Massachusetts with parents addicted to drugs, John dropped out of high school as a freshman and ended up in juvenile detention twice before turning 18. By 19, he was hooked on pills and chasing his next high — until one night, a robbery for drugs turned deadly. Charged with murder and facing 18–20 years, John took a plea deal and cooperated with authorities. He spent 12 years behind bars. In this interview, John shares what really happened that night, what prison taught him, and how he's trying to rebuild a life after a childhood of chaos and a past he can't undo. #TrueCrime #PrisonStory #AddictionRecovery #JuvenileJustice #MurderCase #LockedInWithIanBick #CrimePodcast #FromPrisonToRedemption Connect with John Lendall: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/workingmandistillers/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kobythedistillerydog/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/john.lendall.2025 Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00:00 John Lendle's Troubled Past and Prison Sentence 00:04:36 Childhood Exposure to Illegal Activities 00:09:50 Impact of Gang Presence on School Life 00:15:11 Life in Juvenile Detention 00:20:09 Unconventional Journey Home 00:25:22 Journey into Drug Addiction 00:31:09 Initiation into Armed Robbery 00:37:01 The Gunshot Incident and Its Aftermath 00:42:40 Arrest and Confession: A Turning Point 00:48:01 Legal Challenges and Sentencing 00:54:19 Struggles with Addiction and Recovery in Prison 00:59:02 Navigating Prison Life and Social Dynamics 01:04:15 Journey of Self-Forgiveness and Reflection 01:09:24 Evolution of Communication: Texting to Facetiming 01:14:29 Juggling Multiple Jobs: A Personal Journey 01:19:35 The Impact of Rescuing Dogs as Pets 01:24:18 Final Thoughts and Farewell Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

In response to a powerful message from an 18-year-old listener, Mark and Steve devote this episode to young adults balancing school, mental health, and porn addiction. They applaud the listener's maturity and self-awareness and use his story as a springboard to discuss the foundational concepts of being “accountable” and “responsible.” They emphasize that healing begins with personal ownership and the ability to respond intentionally to life's challenges, even in the face of ADHD, depression, or autism. Instead of viewing these conditions as limitations, they advocate for meeting oneself with compassion and working within real capacities to build healthy routines.The hosts stress the importance of developing a strong “why” and clear vision for one's future—something to guide decisions and anchor motivation when life feels overwhelming. They discuss the power of consistency in self-care, even in small amounts, and the importance of celebrating small wins instead of chasing unrealistic expectations. Mark and Steve also explain how sexual urges are natural and should be reframed as creative energy that can be redirected, especially when emotions like boredom, stress, or loneliness are triggering the urge to escape.They close by urging young adults to invest in meaningful relationships, align their time with their deepest values, and stay connected to supportive communities like 12-step groups or recovery programs such as Dare to Connect. Using practical tools like daily visioning and priority alignment exercises, they encourage listeners to reduce cognitive dissonance and live more authentically. Their message to all struggling young people is clear: you're not alone, you're not broken, and your path to healing is absolutely possible—one small, consistent step at a time.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: Advice for Young Adults Balancing Mental Health, School, Life and Porn Addiction Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services

In the second episode of this two-parter, we sit down with Dean Anne Mullins; inaugural faculty bencher, Professor Kristen Adams; and one of the Inns program's first student readers, Mariana Monforte, a 3L who graduated from Stetson Law this spring. We discuss how law students go from private citizens to public advocates, the importance of developing a cross-generational professional network, and why Dean Mullins calls the Inns program “Hogwarts for law students'!

Your first few weeks of law school can feel like moving to another country where everyone speaks a slightly different language—and you need to be fluent by midterms. Perhaps that's why Stetson looked to a venerable institution from the UK's legal system to help 1Ls connect with each other, their professors, and the profession: English Inns of Court. In this first episode of a two-parter, we sit down with Stetson Law Professor Timothy Kaye, one of the program's inaugural “benchers”—i.e. faculty mentors—to discuss how Stetson's Inns program got its start, the system's British origins, and how the program cultivates a more thoughtful and immersive approach to the study and practice of law.

As we approach graduation season, we're turning our attention to speech-language pathologists' role in helping students move from high school to the next phase of their lives.Twyla Perryman-Brownlow (University of West Georgia) shares ways SLPs can equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to navigate a meaningful transition to whatever comes next—such as employment, trade school, or college.Learn More:Postsecondary Transition PlanningCharting Paths: Supporting the Journey Beyond High SchoolASHA Voices: Embracing Your Students' Strengths—and Your OwnSchool-based SLPs: Here's a Virtual “Backpack” of School ResourcesThe Road Ahead: Postsecondary Transition Planning for Adolescents - ASHA StreamTranscript

In this gripping and emotional episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up The Mess, host Nick Barnett sits down with Jason Hausman for a raw, unfiltered look at addiction, trauma, and the long road to redemption. Jason's story is one of unimaginable darkness—from childhood abuse and early exposure to drugs, to meth addiction, manipulation, and a head-on collision that nearly took his life.   Jason opens up about being raised in a chaotic home filled with violence, addiction, and secrets. By the time he was a teenager, he was already using needles and selling drugs—desperately searching for love, connection, and a sense of control. His addiction spiraled into crime, self-destruction, and eventually, prison. But instead of being the end, prison became the beginning of his transformation.   Nick and Jason discuss the power of God's grace, the weight of generational trauma, and the turning point when Jason surrendered his will and began rebuilding his life. From lying to survive, to finding truth through accountability and faith, Jason shares how small daily actions—and the right people—helped him find freedom and purpose.   With heartfelt honesty, Jason reflects on the impact his addiction had on his family, the guilt he carried, and how becoming a peer recovery coach has allowed him to turn his pain into purpose. His story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the reach of redemption, and that healing begins the moment we step into the light.   This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating addiction, recovery, or the quiet battle of believing they're too far gone. Jason's journey proves that grace is real, and that God still uses broken people to build beautiful things.   00:00 Introduction and Greetings 01:19 Childhood Memories and Family Struggles 06:42 School Life and Early Signs of Addiction 13:26 Manipulation and Early Drug Use 19:00 High School and Escalation of Substance Abuse 28:09 First Treatment and Continued Struggles 33:06 Reflections on Recovery and Sobriety 37:54 Struggles with Self-Worth and Recovery 38:26 The Reality of Life After Treatment 39:10 Working in Treatment and Overcoming Criminal History 40:39 The Impact of Addiction on Loved Ones 41:06 Faith and the 12-Step Program 42:00 The Power of a Higher Power 43:20 The Paradox of Recovery 44:13 The Most Messed Up Moments 47:24 The Turning Point: Prison and Recovery 49:30 Faith and Support in Prison 52:47 Life After Prison: Recovery Coaching 01:13:11 Advice for Those Struggling with Addiction 01:17:56 The Possibility of Recovery   #DomesticDad #AddictionRecovery #FromPrisonToPurpose #PeerSupport #MethRecovery #FaithOverFear #RedemptionStory #Fatherhood #ShameToGlory #HopeIsReal   Website: www.domesticdadproject.com    YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project

School Life A: My timetable for this semester is going to be so packed! B: Mine too. How many optional subjects did you choose? A: It is not so much the extra subjects that take up so much time. B: So what is it that you're worried about? The sports clubs? A: You got it. I have soccer training at least three nights a week, and I also want to learn the guitar, then there's choir practice… B: It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Why not just focus on one after-school club? A: No way! I want to make the best use of my time.

Friends of the show probably know that I love games (especially indie games) set in "uncommon" real world settings- those outside of the US, Japan and Western Europe. Mojiken Studio's 2023 title A Space for the Unbound is one of those, set in Indonesia. That was the draw for me- an emotional story set in a place that I've been in real life. I didn't quite know what kind of emotional story lay in wait for me though, and despite a bumpy road, the way this story pays off and executes on its promise was truly remarkable. In the podcast we discuss the highs and lows, how gameplay affects the pacing, and much more!

Radio legend Tony Blackburn has spent the past 60 years entertaining listeners with his cheeky charm and passion for soul music. His journey in broadcasting began in 1964 on the offshore pirate stations Radio Caroline and Radio London. Just three years later, he made history as the first DJ to be heard on BBC Radio 1, launching the station with his exciting new music show. Tony quickly became a household name, hosting iconic shows like Top of the Pops, the Top 40 and Capital Gold's award-winning Breakfast Show. In 2015 he made history again, becoming the first person to receive two Lifetime Achievement Awards from the Radio Academy. Still going strong, he continues to entertain on the airwaves, with no plans to hang up his headphones just yet... Tickets for his UK tour, Sounds of the Sixties, are available here.

It has been 9 months of homeschooling for the Coulson crew, with plenty of ups and downs and many lessons learned. One of those lessons is that homeschool is not and cannot just be "school at home". When a child is struggling in a school setting, taking them out of that environment only to set up the same structures and lessons at home doesn't change the challenges that your child is experiencing!  In this episode: Resilient Kids Conference - (recording available) Help, hug, or space?
