    “I grew up with puppetry and voices and weird little characters. I never really let that go — I just found ways to turn it into a life.” - Nate Begle In this episode, we're joined by Nate - He's a voice actor and puppeteer with over two decades of experience in storytelling across stage, screen, and sound. His career has spanned live theme park shows, national commercials, animation, and narration work for over 30 audiobooks. Nate has collaborated with major creative institutions, including James Patterson, The Jim Henson Company, Walt Disney Entertainment, and Sesame Street. Deeply rooted in performance, character work, and voice, Nate brings a grounded and authentic presence to everything he creates. He allows the characters, not the performer, to take center stage.Nate and I nestle in for a tender, playful, and witty conversation about a life built around performance. We talk discovering creative purpose early, navigating years of invisible work, and learning how to keep showing up for the craft even when no one is watching.We talk about his roots in Midwest community theater, how Fraggle Rock cracked open a lifelong fascination with puppetry, and the reality of building a career from bits and odd jobs to full-time creative expression. Along the way, we dive into themes like staying grounded while performing, the therapeutic power of play, self-belief in the face of doubt, and the surprising joy of working just off-camera.From humor and nostalgia to identity and intention, this conversation brings small insights that build into something honest, warm, and very real.More notable quotes from the episode:- “A lot of people think voiceover is just ‘talking,' but it's not. It's acting. It's truth-telling. It's intention.”- “It's like, if you see something that's not available where you're at - then make it.”- “There's a moment where you stop trying to get it perfect and start asking if it feels true. That's when you know you're doing the work.”For more on Nate Begle, head over to his IMDB here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4662429/Checkout Nates website here: https://www.natebegle.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@NateBegleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nate-begle-785155bb/Hit subscribe, we'll see ya next episode.

    Have you ever asked yourself: "Why am I constantly chasing her attention, and feeling like it's never enough?" "What happened to the confident, purposeful man she first fell in love with?" "Can I truly reignite attraction in my marriage by focusing on myself?" If you're tired of needing her approval to feel solid, this episode is your wake-up call to reclaiming your most powerful magnet: self-respect. Welcome back to The Dad Edge Podcast. This is the final episode in our 4-part solo series: The Magnetic Masculinity Series—where we've explored what it actually takes to reignite attraction, connection, and polarity in your marriage. In Week 1, we exposed resentment and how it silently erodes intimacy. Week 2 pulled back the curtain on the emotional load your wife is carrying that most men never see. And in Week 3, we stepped into masculine leadership—how to lead with calm, strength, and presence. Now, in this powerful conclusion, we're bringing it home. Because at the end of the day, this isn't just about her wanting you again—it's about you becoming the man you respect again. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this empowering final episode, we dig into: Rediscover the Man She Said “Yes” To: Why most men lose their "edge" not because of marriage, but because they stop leading themselves and how to reclaim that energy, mission, and spark. Live a Mission Bigger Than Her Approval: Understand why you cannot be her emotional project and her sexual partner simultaneously, and how having a purpose-driven life makes you inherently magnetic. Build the Daily Habits That Rebuild Your Self-Respect: Learn that true attraction comes from a quiet swagger earned through daily discipline—investing in your mind, body, and personal growth, because when you respect the man in the mirror, everything changes. This series culminates with a powerful call to action: take one bold step this week to reconnect with yourself, ignite your inner fire, and reclaim the confident, purposeful man you were created to be. Here's what research and observation highlight about self-respect and relationship attraction: Men who report high levels of self-respect and personal purpose are perceived as 40% more attractive by their partners. Engaging in consistent daily habits for personal growth (e.g., fitness, learning) correlates with a 30% increase in self-efficacy and overall life satisfaction. Couples where both partners have strong individual identities and pursue personal missions show 25% higher levels of relationship fulfillment and lower codependency.  This is me when I was 35 years old vs 50 years old → www.tinyurl.com/larry35vs50 www.thedadedge.com/25questions www.thedadedge.com/21days www.thedadedge.com/friday214 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

    When life feels unbearable—when you're anxious, heartbroken, or overwhelmed—it's natural to push against the moment. You replay the past, resist what you're feeling now, and fear what's next. But what if the path to relief isn't about fixing anything, but instead not resisting what you're experiencing? In this episode of Ten Minutes to Less Suffering, we explore how to stay grounded in difficult moments—not by approving of what's happening, but by loosening the grip of resistance, so you can find clarity, calm, and your next step forward. If you're stuck in worry, regret, stress or fear, this episode is for you.  If you found this podcast enjoyable, kindly consider subscribing and leaving a rating or review.

    I found these three things that made sense to me about how I can keep getting better.  The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) reminds all of us that “Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.” The first thing that got my attention is that all three of these are things that I know I can work on and to keep looking to improve. When that happens, I know that the people that I love and care about, will get my best version of myself - which in turn will help them in different ways.

I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

    We spend so much time and energy worrying about what others think of us — when, in reality, it simply doesn't matter. You already have your own challenges and goals to focus on, and caring about others' opinions only drains energy from what truly deserves your attention. Of course, that's easier said than done. We're conditioned to seek approval, and breaking that habit takes conscious effort. In today's episode, you'll learn three of Mark's best-kept strategies for staying internally validated — and how he's learned to completely stop caring what anyone else thinks.

    Wow.. what a fun one this one was to put together. I tried a video recording along with recording the audio on my phone. The video will be on my Youtube channel so I can put it out there and start to do some different things. Not sure what all of those are, but I'm trying them for sure.  The idea from this episode mainly came from a former student of mine, Rynn Foster who posted this awesome picture of a sunrise with the thought: “One day we'll all be a sunrise in someone's life, a beautiful sunrise” That got me thinking about the fact how special that will be having someone remember me when they look at a beautiful sunrise (or sunset too), along with the fact that it got me thinking about family and loved ones that are no longer here or those that I have not seen in a long time.  There were a lot of emotions with this post when I saw it as my day got started out thinking about things in a more positive way, wanting to get better for myself and for others - especially in today's negative, angry and hateful world. Rynn helped to remind me of what I want to focus more on - I reached out to her and thanked her for this and it reminds me of one of many things that I love about being a life-long educator.  My students / players / coworkers have always been difference makers for me and for many of them, it's been happening throughout my whole life!! Next time you see a sunrise or sunset, remember these things.    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.

    Trust But Verify: Lessons Learned after 9 Years in a Cult ft. Paul David Cooke - Ep. 97

    Recounting Life Lessons

    In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, we're sitting down with Paul Cooke—a writer, academic, and former cult member who spent nine years in the Children of God, a group he later recognized as dangerously manipulative and deceptive. After a 40-year journey of reflection, healing, and writing, Paul recently completed a memoir about his experience and now shares his story to help others recognize how easily any of us can be misled under the right conditions. This conversation isn't just about cults—it's about clarity, courage, and reclaiming trust in your own discernment. Whether it's a relationship, belief system, organization, or opportunity that turns out to be something different than you thought, Paul's story offers timeless, hard-won lessons that can help you avoid the emotional toll of misplaced trust.   IN THIS EPISODE: The subtle tactics that made a well-intentioned young man give up everything to join a cult How even smart, faith-driven people can get misled, and how to spot the red flags of deception and control to protect yourself The emotional toll of breaking free from a high-control group or relationship and how to start healing Why "trust but verify" is critical in making sound judgements What NOT to do when someone you love gets caught up in something destructive How manipulation works in everyday life (not just cults) and how to protect your confidence and clarity How real love, community, and grace helped Paul reclaim his freedom and confidence   A FEW GOLDEN NUGGETS; Don't assume you're above being manipulated: Anyone can be vulnerable to deception and manipulation, especially during times of pain, transition, or isolation. Stay vigilant, ask questions, and seek trusted counsel before making major commitments. Distance can create space for clarity: Sometimes the best thing you can do is step back. Time away from group ideologies, influence, or pressure can restore your confidence in your own resoning and values. Manipulators isolate to control: Be mindful of any person or ideology that encourages you to cut off communication with trusted friends, family, or diverse viewpoints. Isolation often precedes control.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Learn more about Paul, his memoir, devotionals, and stories at: www.pauldavidcooke.com Read a chapter from Paul's memoir and learn more about how cults operate at: www.makingsenseofcults.com  ------------------------------------------------------------------- For our latest insights and things we don't share with the public, become a Sione and Alana Insider.

    Fired up about this message today as it hit me when I saw it (again) and as I was sharing from my heart, it lit another spark inside of me too.  I hope it does the same to you too. Who started this spark?  It was Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shares his reflections on the quote that he shared with this post: “A message for today … It's never too late to begin again. Regarding your mistakes? They're lessons, not failures. You're allowed to rise, rewrite & rediscover what truly feels like you. There's no expiration date on becoming who you're meant to be.”  I absolutely dialed into his message about “no expiration date” - and it obviously made an impact on him as he pulled it from the quote too. Very powerful episode to not only share with others, but to give some feedback on too. Yes, I am writing some things down as I told you I was going to do…

    Ever feel like you're grinding non-stop but still falling short of that big dream? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'll drop some serious truth bombs on what it takes to live the life you want, without sacrificing your sanity, family, or soul.In this powerful conversation, I sit down with none other than Bedros Keuilian, a straight-up beast of an entrepreneur and the founder of Fit Body Bootcamp, one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the world. Bedros isn't just a business boss—he's a man who's done the deep inner work, battled through chaos, and come out the other side more dialed-in than ever.We jammed on a ton of important topics, from smashing the myths around the “American Dream” to redefining what true success really looks like. Bedros shares how he shifted from being a hands-on CEO to a leader of leaders, and how that move changed the game, not just in business, but in his marriage, fatherhood, and personal growth.This episode is a reminder that discipline backed by standards is the real flex. Not hustle till you burn out. Not “fake it till you make it.” But showing up every day aligned, intentional, and willing to lead yourself first. Bedros opens up about how he makes decisions through the lens of his standards, even something as simple as deciding whether or not to hang with the bros on a Friday night. And that level of clarity? It's rare—and powerful.Here are a few game-changing takeaways from the convo:The American Dream isn't dead—it's more accessible than ever. But you've gotta stop blaming the system and start owning your actions.Discipline is overrated if it's not backed by non-negotiable standards. Set your standards, filter every decision through them, and you'll move differently.Success in business means nothing if you're failing at home. Bedros keeps it real about showing up for his wife and kid, even when it's hard.Marriage takes work, and walk-away moments happen. But how you show up when things get tough defines the strength of your relationship.Faith, AI, and community all play a role in this new era of leadership. Whether it's spiritual growth or embracing tech, it's about evolving while staying grounded.If you're a purpose-driven hustler looking to harmonize your ambition with a deep, meaningful connection, this is the episode for you.In this episode, we cover:The American Dream: Misconceptions and RealitiesEntrepreneurial Journey: From Idea to SuccessTransitioning from CEO to LeaderThe Importance of Standards in Life and BusinessBalancing Family and BusinessNavigating Fatherhood and RelationshipsOvercoming Walk-Away Moments in MarriageThe Journey of Marriage and Personal GrowthFaith and Spirituality in Modern LifeThe Role of AI in Business and LifeBuilding Community and Leadership Among MenWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Ryan says be happy, be happy with the journey, be happy with the struggle, be happy with the destination, be happy with the frustration.

    Have you ever asked yourself: "How do I teach my kids true grit without breaking their spirit?" "Can a 'savage' mentality translate into emotionally intelligent fatherhood?" "What's the secret to staying tough and present, even amidst parenting chaos?" If you're looking for humor, heart, and a whole lot of humble savagery, buckle up for this episode! Today's guest is Bobby Maximus—a former UFC fighter, black belt, savage trainer… and, as it turns out, the unofficial spokesman for $500 Lego sets. This man once trained to take punches to the face, and now spends his time trying to get his teenage son to drink a protein shake. Larry Hagner and Bobby Maximus dive deep into fatherhood, grit, emotional intelligence, and why buying an Avengers Tower Lego set may just be the most elite dad move of all time. Become the best husband and leader you can: https://www.thedadedge.com/mastermind In this powerful conversation, we dig into: Grit Beyond the Octagon: How the resilience and mental toughness of an elite fighter translate into everyday fatherhood and life's challenges. Emotional Intelligence for the Savage: Understanding that true strength isn't about suppressing emotions, but intelligently navigating them in relationships. The Unexpected Power of Shared Hobbies: Why investing time and energy into your kids' interests (like a $500 Lego set) can build deeper connections than you might imagine. Parenting Teens: The New Frontier: Candid talk about the unique struggles and triumphs of raising adolescents, from protein shakes to video game meltdowns. Living a Legacy of Strength and Presence: Why optimizing yourself, both physically and emotionally, is crucial for showing up fully for your family. This episode offers a unique blend of high-performance wisdom and relatable dad struggles, proving that the toughest men often have the biggest hearts. Here's what research and observation highlight about grit and emotional intelligence in fatherhood: Children of fathers who model high levels of grit and perseverance are 35% more likely to achieve long-term success in their own endeavors. Fathers with strong emotional intelligence report a 40% increase in their ability to effectively resolve conflicts with their children and spouse. Engaging in shared hobbies with children for at least 3 hours per week correlates with a 25% stronger father-child bond. www.thedadedge.com/532 www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.thedadedge.com/mastermind www.instagram.com/bobbymaximus www.youtube.com/@OfficialBobbyMaximus www.tiktok.com/@bobbymaximus

He challenges the comfort of feel-good platitudes and pushes for bold, opinionated expression as a means to cut through the noise. Sartain shares how having a polarizing stance, seeking attention ethically, and stepping outside the fear of judgment are key to personal and entrepreneurial growth. With blunt clarity, he argues that the true enemy of progress is not failure, but inaction—and urges listeners to stop hiding behind excuses, embrace discomfort, and actually do the work.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.com YouTube: https://youtu.be/kothCZNOHVA Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/michael-sartain-lifestyle-strategist-the-hidden/id1484783544 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3yjjxLPWxubTRru1wZ2HmQ ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
