How did the last month, the summer, go by so fast?

Slow down. Pause. Take a breath. Because one day, you'll realize you rushed through too much of your life, too much of your loved ones' lives.

Seneca lived through illness, exile, and the brutal reign of Nero. In today's episode, Ryan shares three of the most powerful ideas Seneca learned from those experiences and why they can change the way you live.

What if the single greatest predictor of your health at 80 isn't your cholesterol or blood pressure — but how satisfied you are in your relationships?In this conversation, we sit down with Dr. Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development — the longest-running study of adult life ever conducted — to unpack what 85 years of research reveals about what actually makes a good life.Good relationships don't just feel good — they're stress regulators that protect your body from chronic inflammation and cortisol overload, directly affecting your Health and Happiness. We explore the concept of social fitness, the powerful difference between hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing, and how to take small, intentional steps to strengthen the connections that matter most.

“It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,” Ralph Waldo Emerson once recounted, “‘Always do what you are afraid to do.'”

“Send Coach John a message”I found a wonderful post from Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) who wrote two incredible books.  “Raise Your Game” and “Sustain Your Game” were both powerful reads for me, not only as a basketball coach & teacher, but as a human being looking to keep getting better.  Now I see he's got another book out - guess I need to grab that one up too.  Here is what he shared about Motivation.  He says this:  “Motivation is wonderful. It's also unreliable. If your standard depends on feeling motivated, your performance will fluctuate with your mood. Discipline closes that gap. Discipline is not punishment. It's not grinding yourself into exhaustion. It's keeping the commitments you've made to yourself - especially when doing so is inconvenient. The goal isn't to feel inspired every morning. The goal is to create routines that make the right behavior easier to repeat. Decide what matters. Put it on the calendar. Remove unnecessary friction. Start before you feel ready. Then repeat. Professionals don't eliminate emotion. They simply don't allow every emotion to renegotiate their standards. Motivation can help you begin. Discipline helps you continue.”  Incredible insight here for each of us to unpack and connect with in our own way, each and every day we can! It reminds me about “Standards over feelings” by Ben Newman says.  So many great life lessons in this for all of us.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) Awesome post from Coach Clint:  “Thoughts on a Labor Day weekend -  Thank you to my friend Charley Kennedy for the inspiration. Labor Day.  I hope everyone is getting ready for an awesome Labor Day weekend and catching the last blast of summer!”  I love this part of his post:  “Thank you to those who “labor” for all of us and take great pride in what they do. Organized labor is the backbone of America and keeps us humming today and every day. Cheers to steady work and the joy of being part of a group that shows up for one another!”  The post continues:  Labor Day weekend always feels like the year taking a deep, contented breath before the seasons turn. It's a good time to slow down, savor the sunshine, and enjoy the simple gifts right in front of us.  This weekend, know that the best moments are often the simplest ones....a quiet morning on the porch, a friendly wave from a neighbor, or the smell of something good on the grill.  Make a difference today!  Love Clint”   I am fired up about this reminder for me and anyone else who wants to keep getting better.  We need to keep improving the way we work, hopefully in an area of joy with our calling (our burn), but also where we look to make a difference with others.  The world needs it now more than ever before.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this episode, we break down the hidden reasons many people fall short of their worthwhile goals. It is not always a lack of talent, desire, or opportunity. Often, people skip the steps that lead to real progress. This podcast explores why focusing only on the outcome is not enough, why goals must be specific and measurable, and why identifying the next action is the key to building momentum.We also discuss the importance of reviewing progress, making adjustments, and understanding the mental side of success, including fear, self-doubt, resistance, and discipline. This episode is a positive reminder that your goals are still possible when you stop skipping the process and start taking consistent, intentional action.Check us out -  Instagram and Twitter: JeroldJax Facebook:  Jerold Action Jackson and Zone Of ActionJeroldJackson.comHappiness starts with you.

Ryan thought running 50 kilometers through Rome would be the hard part of the family trip to Italy but he was wrong. In today's episode, he shares how the rest of the trip went completely off the rails and what happened after his family got home that made every travel disaster along the way seem small.

Ryan thought the chaos of traveling with kids was over once his family made it home. Then his son was admitted to the hospital. In this Part 2 episode, he shares what the experience reminded him about listening when your kids say something is wrong, taking a scary situation one moment at a time, and not taking ordinary family life for granted.VIDEO OUT NOW | Watch Ryan run the Stoic 50k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2LNSVXbsaI

In Rome, Ryan could barely go for a run without passing a place connected to Stoic history. In today's episode, he shares moments from his family trip, from visiting the places where the Stoics lived and worked to running a 50K route through Rome's ancient Stoic sites.

Taking your kids to Rome means showing them the Colosseum, the Vatican, and 2,000 years of history. It can also mean travel delays, brutal heat, and more trips to McDonald's than you planned. In this episode, Ryan shares what a family vacation to Rome reminded him about compromise, curiosity, and letting kids experience a place in their own way.VIDEO OUT NOW | Watch Ryan run the Stoic 50k: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2LNSVXbsaI

It's already Labor Day weekend. What happened?

It takes forever. For them to make up their minds. For them to get over whatever they're upset about. This is life with kids, isn't it?

EVEN MORE about this episode!Are your angels already trying to communicate with you—and could you be missing the signs? How can you tell the difference between angelic guidance, intuition, and your own thoughts?Julie Ryan sits down with intuitive healer, Reiki Master Teacher, and channeler Natalie Namaste for a fascinating exploration of angels, guardian angels, spirit guides, channeling, intuition, and the signs we may be receiving from the spiritual world every day.After more than 25 years of angelic communication, Natalie shares how she experiences guidance and what she's learned about recognizing it. She and Julie explore angel numbers, synchronicities, intuitive knowing, and the different ways spiritual information can arrive through our senses.But the conversation goes much deeper.Natalie introduces a provocative possibility: What if your guardian angel isn't as separate from you as you've always believed? She explains her perspective on guardian angels across lifetimes, how angels differ from spirit guides, when to call upon each, and why some people seem to hear spiritual guidance easily while others struggle to receive anything at all.Julie and Natalie also explore how to begin opening your intuitive channel, how to identify which of your senses may be strongest for receiving information, why trauma, ancestral patterns, and past-life experiences may interfere with spiritual connection, and what channeling actually feels like from the inside.Natalie shares her experiences with Arcturian energy and elemental beings, her unusual spiritual childhood in South Africa, and why she believes humanity's relationship with consciousness is undergoing a profound shift.And near the end, Natalie channels a live message from her angels specifically for this conversation, offering guidance about moving beyond fear, living from the heart, and remembering who we truly are.If you've ever wondered whether your angels are near, questioned whether a sign was real, or heard a quiet inner voice and thought, “Was that me—or was that Spirit?” this episode may help you recognize what you've been receiving all along.Guest Biography:Natalie Namaste is a globally recognized Intuitive Healer, Reiki Master Teacher, and Channeler with more than 25 years of experience supporting thousands of people worldwide.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a very powerful post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this truthful quote was shared:  “Sooner or later we all have to pay for what we do.” ~ Oscar Wilde.  What a true statement for sure.  The bill always comes due for our choices, how we carry ourselves, what we do to (and for) others, every decision, etc.  Some are small of course and nobody else knows about them. Other choices we make - well, they are well known and others do know about them…. Both the good and not so good. This is not meant to weigh us down as to being worried about everything we do.  For me, it's something I need to keep making good choices, build good habits, keep learning and growing by reading & listening more to things that help me be my best.  We will all be remembered for what we did throughout our lives.  It might as well have been for good instead of bad. Keep growing to be your best self my friends.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

If you've ever felt stuck in the same patterns and can't figure out why, this episode is going to stop you cold.Mastin Kipp built his entire life's work around one powerful reframe: stop asking why the addiction. Start asking why the pain. As a trauma-informed coach and nervous system expert who has worked alongside Tony Robbins and coached some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and creators, he brings clarity to some of the most complex human experiences in a way that actually lands.What you'll take away:●       Why addiction is a regulation strategy, and what that reframe changes about how we approach healing.●       How fear shows up in the body before your mind even catches up, and why that's not your fault.●       The three-word framework.●       Why the female brain's ability to hold everything at once is a superpower, not dysregulation.●       The difference between being victimized and living as a victim at identity level, and why that distinction is everything.●       How to navigate religious trauma and form a personal relationship with a higher power that's entirely your own.●       Why your differences in a relationship don't have to pull you apart, they can actually grow you.●       The one thing Mastin says to every single person who walks in carrying a trauma story.This is not a fear-based conversation. It's a grounded, empowering reminder that you are so much more than what you've been through, and that healing is really just coming back to who you are underneath all of it.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

It might even be easy to use some of the Stoic teachings to tell yourself that travel is exotic, or even frivolous. But it isn't. It's essential.

If Ryan could sit down with Marcus Aurelius and ask him one question, it wouldn't be about Meditations or Stoic philosophy. In today's episode, Ryan poses the question to Professor William O. Stephens, author of and they discuss why the answer is far more complicated than it seems.

“Send Coach John a message”I found another fabulous lesson that needed to be repeated to me AGAIN, since I still need to be reminded about it.  It came from Damon West (@damonwest7) who is an amazing difference maker, author, speaker, someone for sure you want to get connected to.  He shared this:  “Try changing two words today: “I have to” will now become “I get to.” I get to go to work. I get to move my body. I get to show up for my family. I get to work toward my goals. The things on your plate may not change, but the words you use can change the way you see them. Sometimes a small shift in perspective is all it takes to change the way you show up.” #BeACoffeeBean  Little adjustments in my thinking, can change so much in my life - same for you.  How I approach something with this mindset of “I get to”... can make a HUGE difference in not only how I accomplish things but also how the rest of my day goes.  This helps me show up as a better version of myself, wherever I go, instead of me having these words in my head - “I have to”.  Try connecting to this reflection.  Powerful stuff for sure!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

What does it mean to become better—and better for what?In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex Van Houten sits down with builder, entrepreneur, and fitness advocate Brock Holyoak for a conversation about action, discipline, fear, fitness, personal responsibility, and becoming more capable.Brock has a strong bias toward action: stop waiting until you know everything, start with what you have, learn by doing, and allow experience to shape you along the way. From building construction companies to training his body and developing his own fitness philosophy, his message is simple: most people already know enough to begin. The problem is that they often substitute consuming information for taking action.That creates some valuable questions for anyone who has spent too much time researching the perfect workout, diet, business strategy, or next step while doing very little with what they already know.But this conversation also exposes a deeper question at the heart of Faithful Fitness:What is all that improvement for?Strength is useful. Discipline is useful. Confidence is useful. Competence is useful. Becoming capable of doing difficult things is good.But none of those things can determine what deserves our devotion.Throughout the episode, Alex and Brock discuss:Why action often teaches what information cannotThe danger of waiting until you have every piece before you start buildingHow fitness can build competence and confidenceThe difference between perseverance and stubbornnessWhy fear often becomes smaller once you actually confront itThe importance of keeping promises to yourselfHow difficult physical challenges can expand your sense of what you're capable ofWhy passion and desire can create tremendous driveThe limitations of making “the best version of yourself” the ultimate goalFor the Christian, self-improvement is not the destination. It is a tool.Your body, health, strength, time, abilities, and opportunities have been entrusted to you by God. The goal isn't merely to become stronger, tougher, leaner, richer, or more impressive. The goal is to become increasingly capable of faithfully using what God has given you for His glory and the good of the people around you.So perhaps the question isn't simply:Am I getting better?Perhaps the better question is:Am I becoming more faithful?If you already know the next healthy step you need to take, take it. Go for the walk. Lift the weight. Prepare the meal. Get to bed. Make the change.You probably don't need the whole map before you begin.But as you become more capable, keep asking where that capability is ultimately pointed.Want to understand where you currently stand in your own health and stewardship?Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment and evaluate yourself across the four foundations of Integrity, Grit, Growth, and Awe.Start here: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentMake the most of the body God's given you.Train hard—but pray harder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

What if the most important training you'll ever do happens nowhere near a barbell?Annie Thorisdottir and her co-writer Christine Bald join Patrick to discuss their new book, Iceland Annie: The Evolution of a CrossFit Games Legend — five years in the making and built on a prologue Christine wrote before Annie ever agreed to write it.You'll hear why Annie believes character is trained the same way fitness is: in private, repeatedly, often without immediate reward. And you'll hear Christine on the discipline required to prepare for moments you can't anticipate. Together, they make the case that what most people see on the podium is the smallest part of what it took to get there.
