What happens when life's challenges become your greatest teachers? In this revealing episode of Life in Transition, host Art Blanchford welcomes Mike Huber, a mental performance coach with a powerful story of transformation. Mike candidly shares his journey through two pivotal life transitions: becoming a father and recovering from gambling addiction. "I've learned about myself that I am much more of an introvert than I am an extrovert... having that one-to-one relationship of like I'm here to listen, I want to understand you. I don't want to judge you, I want to help you." This philosophy now guides his work with young athletes after leaving a 20-year career to pursue his passion for sports psychology. Why did he make such a dramatic change? His recovery journey provided both the courage and clarity to pursue a more authentic path.Art and Mike dig into the pressures facing youth in competitive sports today and how Mike's approach emphasizes enjoyment over winning at all costs. But can career ambitions and parental responsibilities truly coexist? Mike offers practical insights on this delicate balance, sharing the two tools that transformed his life: therapy and mindfulness meditation. From panic attacks to purpose, Mike's story illustrates how vulnerability becomes service. Each time we share our struggles, he suggests, we cut their power in half. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder: our suffering finds meaning when it helps others navigate similar challenges. Isn't that what transition is ultimately about—transforming our pain into purpose?Michael Huber is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® whose mission is to help young athletes become confident problem solvers. Mike entered the sport psychology field inspired by his experiences as a parent, youth sports coach, and compulsive gambler in recovery. He has experienced many challenging transitions, including fatherhood, recovery, divorce, and entrepreneurship. Mike aims to be of service to others by sharing his story.

Have you ever had an idea that tugged at you, asking to be brought to life? In this episode, I share why I believe so strongly that you are the exact messenger for your idea and your audience. Not someone else. You. Yes, your topic may be similar to what others are talking about. But ,your idea, your lens, your story, and your experiences are what make it yours. And your audience? They're waiting for you to say it in the way only you can. We dig into: The difference between having a topic versus having an idea (this is a game-changer for standing out!) Why thought leadership is more than just expertise—it's about the courage to show up with your unique take The two ways ideas tend to come to us (and what stops us from activating them) Why fear and perfectionism are such sneaky dream stealers (and how to move through them) What Lin-Manuel Miranda, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Greta Gerwig can teach us about being the messenger for your idea   I even share a behind-the-scenes moment from preparing my 2016 TEDx talk when I realized I needed something more than a “good” talk - I needed to say something only I could say. If you're feeling that nudge that there's an idea stirring inside you - or one that's been sitting dormant - it's time to give it voice. Remmber: Your audience is waiting for you.

Is there a story you're reluctant to share? The one that still makes you cringe a little, that feels raw and vulnerable? That's probably the exact story you should be telling - not just for your audience, but for yourself. In this episode, I'm joined by Diane Diaz, and we're pulling back the curtain on our own stories - the ones we've hesitated to share. We talk a lot about storytelling in public speaking, thought leadership, and keynotes, but let's be honest: we often default to the safer stories. You know, the ones about career missteps, lessons learned, or professional challenges. But what about the deeply personal stories? The ones that shaped who we are? Diane and I each share a story we've been reluctant to tell - stories tied to our self-worth, identity, and fears. We unpack how these experiences have influenced our careers, our approach to public speaking, and even the way we show up in the world. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the stories that scare you the most are the ones that will connect the deepest with your audience How childhood experiences still shape the way we think about ourselves (and what to do about it) Why leaning into imperfection and vulnerability makes you a more compelling speaker How to balance preparation and spontaneity in your speaking style (Diane and I approach this very differently!) A behind-the-scenes look at our own speaking journeys, including what we've learned from our clients   This episode was filmed in one of the beautiful studios on the campus of Full Sail University, where Diane and I have been teaching business and marketing classes since 2009.

Join Joe McDonald as he discusses how to share your story in Alcoholics Anonymous without moralizing, as outlined in Step 12. Joe explains that when someone is not communicative, we should give them a sketch of our drinking career up to the time we quit, but without getting into the details of how we accomplished sobriety right away. He emphasizes the importance of sharing our experiences without lecturing or moralizing, allowing others to connect with us on a personal level rather than feeling judged. Joe humorously points out that sometimes, we use overly harsh terms about ourselves to avoid sounding like we're bragging, but it's important to share honestly and openly.In Alcoholics Anonymous, Step 12 focuses on carrying the message through personal experience. Joe encourages us to be mindful of how we present our stories, ensuring that we speak from a place of humility and connection rather than judgment.To support and learn from journeys like Joe McDonald, please like, comment, and share.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Frank Winters, author of the book 10 Little Rules for Sharing Your Story. A father of two fantastic men, public speaker, geographer, and explorer, Frank Winters was intrigued and motivated by a random fact: one of the things he loves the most – public speaking – is the thing most feared by many. His work (as Geographic Information Officer of NYS, President of the National States Geographic Information Council and Chair of the National Pandemic GIS Task Force) gives Frank a breadth of  professional experiences to draw from. Outside of work, Frank coached a youth mountain bike race team to a state championship and served for more than two decades as President of a non-profit ski area. Paying back a lifelong debt to the Boy Scouts of America, he serves as Section Director for the National Camp School wilderness guide program. A recent annual tradition for Frank and his oldest son is racing the 90-mile Adirondack Canoe Classic. In my book review, I stated 10 Little Rules for Sharing Your Story explores his rules for public speaking. However, these rules will help more than those speaking behind a podium. Do you want to be a better communicator with those you love? Do you want to provide a legacy of stories to your children? Do you want to connect more over coffee and bagels? Then 10 Little Rules for Sharing Your Story is the right book for you. Not only does Frank share his rules, but he provides notebooking pages so you can create your own rules around storytelling. My favorite rule is #6 - Think Beyond the Elevator Pitch. Frank believes that if you have something important to say, you should be able to adjust it to the time given to you. If you only have 7 seconds, what would you say? What about two minutes? What about twenty? By thinking of our stories this way, we can learn what parts are the most important and the most intriguing. I will definitely be using this idea in my own speaking! I highly recommend this 10 Little Rules book.

"Becoming a dad is a big step forward. It's a first-time realization that you're responsible for another person." "When I got this pro camera, I was like, I gotta be a pro." "Document your journey. That's what inspired me to get into podcasting and document my journey." "If we shy away from conversations about politics or religion or relationships or LGBTQ+, then we're never going to feel comfortable enough as dads to have that conversation later with our kids about these things." "Every conversation, every big conversation, little conversation should be coming from within the home with your kids because you're their best source of information." "If you're never having the conversations about sex and drugs and alcohol and gender and religion and faith and morals and values, they're never going to know these things." In this episode of the Young Dad podcast, Jay interviews Junaid Ahmed, a father of four and a content creator. They discuss Junaid's journey as a dad and his passion for photography and filmmaking. Junaid shares how he got into podcasting and the importance of documenting your journey. They also talk about the evolution of blogging and podcasting as platforms for sharing stories and connecting with others.

If dads shy away from these conversations, their children will seek information from unreliable sources. Dads need to be the best source of information for their kids and teach them tolerance and acceptance. It is crucial to have a solid foundation of belief and values within the home and to lead by example.
