A Brutally Honest Take on the UncontrollablesWe live in a culture obsessed with control. Hustle harder. Plan smarter. Pray longer. If you do all the right things, life should cooperate. That's the promise of hustle culture—and it's incredibly seductive.But Ecclesiastes offers a brutally honest response.As we close our Ecclesiastes series, Qoheleth—the Teacher—pulls back the curtain on the illusion of control. Life “under the sun” is not a machine we operate; it's a mystery we inhabit. And the more we try to control it, the more frustrated and disillusioned we become.Earlier in the book, Qoheleth introduced us to two key ideas that shape everything else. First, his name—Qoheleth—means “Teacher,” the one who gathers people to tell the truth. Second, the word hevel—often translated “meaningless”—literally means vapor. Life is fleeting, unstable, and impossible to grasp.Pleasure is hevel.Wealth is hevel.They're not sins. They're not gods. They're gifts—but terrible masters.In this final message, Ecclesiastes confronts three unavoidable realities of life: the uncontrollables.1. You Can't Control the CreatorWe live under the illusion that we are in charge—especially in American culture. Ecclesiastes says otherwise.Ecclesiastes 7:13–14 (NLT) says, “Accept the way God does things, for who can straighten what he has made crooked?”The hardest truth for control-oriented people is this: God is God, and we are not.Scripture teaches that God is sovereign—not just aware of events, but actively holding the universe together and directing history toward His purposes. Sometimes God acts directly. Sometimes He allows human choices. But even when He permits something, He never loses control.God is the primary cause—the one with the plan and the power.Humans are secondary causes—we make real choices with real responsibility.The bottom line is humbling: you are not the scriptwriter of your life.2. You Can't Control the ConsequencesWe assume life is a meritocracy—that the fastest, smartest, and hardest-working people always win. Ecclesiastes dismantles that assumption.Ecclesiastes 9:11 (NLT) says, “The fastest runner doesn't always win the race… It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time.”Timing matters. Circumstances matter. Opportunity matters.This doesn't mean effort is pointless. In fact, Ecclesiastes affirms wisdom and preparation.Ecclesiastes 10:10 (NLT) says, “Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade.”Sharpen the blade. Work hard. Be wise.But even then, outcomes are never guaranteed.Ecclesiastes doesn't call us to quit trying—it calls us to stop pretending we're in control.3. You Can't Control the ClockSome people are better at predicting the future than others. Many of them are rich. But it's still a guess.Ecclesiastes is clear: the future is unknowable, and death is unavoidable.Ecclesiastes 8:7–8 (NLT) says, “No one really knows what is going to happen… None of us can hold back our spirit from departing.”No amount of money, innovation, or optimism can stop time—or death. The human mortality rate remains a steady 100%.That reality sounds dark until we realize what Ecclesiastes is doing: stripping away false hope so we can find real hope.The Only Thing You Can ControlIf we can't control the Creator, the consequences, or the clock—what can we control?Ecclesiastes ends with clarity.Ecclesiastes 12:13–14 (NLT) says, “Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone's duty.”You can control your response to God.Not your parents' faith.Not your spouse's obedience.Not your pastor's integrity.Yours.To fear God means more than being afraid. It means awe,

Send us a textI always thank my God for you because of His grace given you in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:4 As we close out the first month of 2026, one goal we must have for this year is to find community.  The church is a great place to start and we should be plugged into the local church.  But even further, who are the people who help guide and encourage you and to whom you guide and encourage also?  This episode focuses on how God helps us in "finding our tribe," how we must also limit access with certain people, and that we must look for opportunities to pour into the generations that follow us.  As we find our tribe, we find those who God will use to continue to shape and mold us.  It's an essential part of our walk in the Lord, as there are no "Lone Ranger Christians."  

Reaching 100 episodes is more than a milestone. It's a moment to step back and recognize what's been built together. In this special compilation episode of Machine Shop Mastery, I reflect on the most powerful ideas, lessons, and human stories that emerged from the first 99 conversations with shop owners and manufacturing leaders across the industry. When this podcast started, I thought we were chasing a simple question: what makes great shops great? What became clear over time is that we weren't really talking about machines or parts at all. We were talking about responsibility, sacrifice, leadership, and the human soul of the American economy. Over these episodes, we've heard from owners who sold their homes to save their businesses, leaders who risked everything to protect their teams, and families who carried legacies forward through loss and adversity. This episode brings together those lessons into a set of foundational pillars that show up again and again in successful shops. The power of process. The importance of culture and core values. The strategic advantage of planning. And the discipline required to build a business that doesn't rely entirely on its owner. These aren't theories. They're lived experiences shared by people who have felt the weight of ownership firsthand. You'll also hear moments of generosity, resilience, and community that rarely make it into business playbooks. Stories of competitors helping competitors, leaders choosing people over profit, and shop owners who understand that a rising tide truly lifts all boats. Together, these stories form something bigger than a highlight reel. They represent a body of collective wisdom. This episode isn't a finish line. It's a marker. A thank-you to the guests who trusted me with their stories, and to the listeners who show up every week to learn, reflect, and grow.

If you can't explain your deal in 60 seconds, you don't have a deal. You have confusion. In this episode, I break down why hiding behind spreadsheets kills momentum, confidence, and credibility with brokers, partners, and investors. Multifamily deals don't fall apart on paper first. They fall apart in your head. I walk through how real investors think about deals, how to explain fundamentals without Excel, and why clarity matters more than perfect underwriting. We talk markets, rents, expenses, cap rates, experience, and business plans—without rambling, jargon, or scenario overload. This episode is for anyone stuck "modeling one more version," second-guessing their numbers, or losing confidence mid-pitch. Simplicity creates clarity. Clarity creates confidence. Confidence creates momentum. Sharpen the axe. Stop overthinking. Start moving.

In this episode, Chris responds to a listener's thoughtful question: “Do we really need to check blood pressure on every adult patient?” What starts as a question about workflow becomes a much bigger conversation about how optometrists spend their time, what really changes patient outcomes, and how to break the habit of checking boxes just for compliance. We unpack: The clinical and administrative context behind routine BP checks Why MIPS might not apply to your practice—and what that means The opportunity cost of low-yield testing How to rethink what “comprehensive” really means in your exam The case for reclaiming time to do more of what matters Bottom line: If it doesn't change how you care for the patient, maybe it doesn't belong in the exam.

Join Pastor Clay NeSmith as he kicks off a powerful 21-day journey of fasting and prayer for 2026! In this inspiring message from Joel 2:12-13, Pastor Clay challenges us to return to God with our whole hearts and remove the distractions that keep us from experiencing His best for our lives.

Kicking off 2026 with fresh energy, strategic focus, and real results!  If you're tired of 2025's energy (or sugar overload), feeling fired up or easing yourself in and want to actually MOVE the needle in your business, your first 90 days of 2026 can pave the way for your best year in business yet. Rather than letting last year's challenges linger, now is the moment to reassess, refocus, and apply some simple, strategic changes that will actually move your business forward. Here's the four-step crash course, straight from this week's episode: 1. Assess What Worked (and What Didn't) in 2025 Pause before diving headfirst into new strategies. Objectively look back at the activities that generated results for you last year—and just as importantly, the ones that didn't. No self-criticism, just honest reflection. If you need help being objective check out the podcast episode "Sales planning season is here" to help you map out and analyse your sales activities without falling into the self-doubt trap. Link to podcast is in the key resources section. 2. Let Go of Wasted Time and Ineffective Activities It's not just about what didn't work, but also those things that sapped your energy without any ROI. Sometimes, we continue with activities simply out of habit or uncertainty. If something isn't bringing you leads, revenue, or joy, give yourself permission to stop for at least 90 days. There are plenty of ways to generate leads; don't get stuck on the "shiny object" that isn't serving your goals. 3. Supercharge Your Lead Generation The secret sauce for a breakthrough year is consistent, high-quality lead generation—with corporates, not just anyone. Jess explains why Q1 is especially crucial: Many decision makers change jobs in January, so old contacts may have moved on. Relying on last year's leads can leave you stuck if you realise too late that your pipeline has dried up. Most people pause for major holidays and during the summer, making now the ideal time to load your pipeline for the calendar year. Choose a lead generation method that fits your strengths and priorities, become proficient at it, and above all, be consistent. 4. Hone Your Sales Call Skills After all, leads only become revenue if you can handle the sales conversation. Jess stresses the need to build "muscle memory" for running effective, structured sales calls. Many salespeople—both new and experienced—fail here by not preparing well enough or treating every call as just another friendly chat instead of a targeted conversation. Mastering calls in Q1 not only boosts your conversions but sets up a pattern of confidence and competence for the rest of the year. Practical Takeaways Audit last year's efforts with compassion and objectivity. Cut out energy-draining activities—even if "everyone" else is doing them. Get serious about proactive lead generation NOW. Sharpen your sales call skills so you don't lose out on hard-won opportunities. Key Quotes; Maximising Your First 90 Days 00:16:2700:16:50 "It's really, really important that when you think about making the most of your first 90 days of 2026, you look at, well, what actually prod result it was supposed to last year and how can I make that better rather than how can I just overhaul my complete sales process because it actually might not need it." The Lead Generation Mistake Most Entrepreneurs Make 00:25:3800:26:08 "If you are looking to improve your lead generation this year and you fancy me taking some of the load off of you, then definitely check out expertservicesdirectory.com. Enter the code PODCAST at the checkout, you get a special free gift. But if you're thinking, actually, no, Jess, I want to do it myself, that is also fine. But I would encourage you to find a way to do it. This quarter of the year is one of the most important for lead generation." Mastering Sales Calls for Higher Conversions 00:40:0200:40:15 "You need to develop that skill structure and muscle memory for building out brilliant sales calls this year and doing that in the first quarter of the year, like I say, will give you the right foundations to take it forward." Why Motivation Alone Isn't Enough for Sales Success 00:10:0500:10:37  "Whilst that energy is good and that commitment to doing something new and having a positive attitude is brilliant and helpful, if it's not backed up with the strategic activity that you need to do, it's really, really quick for you to get disheartened and it's really, really easy to stop feeling so motivated and start looking at the harsh reality of why am I not getting the results that I want."   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Cold & Sold Bundle: Secure your spot at Converting Corporates 2026, get a year's inbound leads, plus access to the popular Cold to Closed course (8 sales calls in 4 weeks, anyone?) .https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-and-sold-bundle/   Episode sponsored by The Expert Services Directory: A key resource for coaches / consultants / trainers and done-for-you service providers to generate inbound leads.

Everyone likes new things. New phones. New systems. New news. That's weird phrase, but you catch my drift.The problem is, new doesn't always mean better. On the other hand, old doesn't automatically mean wise either. And somewhere between those two instincts is a lot of tension—especially when you start talking about generations. That's the space that Whetstone lives in - the uneasy balance between holding fast to what matters and staying flexible enough to grow. Not throwing the baby, or in our case, the boy, out with the bathwater.Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen as we talk about the next generation—what's worth keeping, what needs pruning, and how to pass on wisdom without turning it into a museum exhibit.

Episode Description In this year-end episode, Chris Wolfe, OD takes a step back from protocols, products, and positioning statements to examine a more fundamental question in clinical care: when does belief help us act, and when does belief get ahead of the data? Throughout the year, we've emphasized that belief during the comprehensive exam is what drives action. If doctors and teams do not truly believe something matters, it does not get prioritized. But belief has a failure mode. When belief outpaces evidence, especially in pediatric care, it can distort expectations, decision-making, and policy. Using the FDA's decision on low-dose atropine as a case study, this episode explores how belief forms, how it spreads, and where it may diverge from what the publicly available data actually show. This is not an argument against myopia management or atropine therapy. It is an attempt to slow the conversation down and examine effect size, study design, endpoints, and uncertainty with clarity and humility. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why myopia management itself is not the controversy, but certainty often is How belief influences behavior in the comprehensive exam, for better and for worse What the FDA actually said in its Complete Response Letter on SYD-101 How professional statements and press releases can amplify belief beyond available data What the STAR trial poster does and does not show, including effect size and subgroup uncertainty Why modest effect sizes behave differently in real-world clinical practice How to think about dose, endpoints, and population selection without oversimplifying Why belief should motivate action, but evidence should calibrate expectations Key Sources Referenced in This Episode FDA and Manufacturer Statements Sydnexis Complete Response Letter Press Release Sydnexis Receives Complete Response Letter from FDA for SYD-101 to Slow Pediatric Myopia Progression https://www.sydnexis.com/news/sydnexis-receives-complete-response-letter-from-fda-for-syd-101 Sydnexis Phase III STAR Trial Topline Data Press Release Sydnexis Announces Topline Pivotal Data from Phase 3 STAR Trial https://www.sydnexis.com/news/sydnexis-announces-topline-pivotal-data-from-phase-3-star-trial UK Approval Announcement (Based on STAR Data) Sydnexis Announces UK Approval of Ryjunea by Partner Santen https://www.sydnexis.com/news/sydnexis-announces-uk-approval-of-ryjunea Professional Organization Statements AAOMC Public Statement AAOMC Calls for Access to Proven Myopia Therapies as Low-Dose Atropine Gains Global Approvals https://aaomc.org AAPOS Commentary on Nonapproval of SYD-101 Available via LinkedIn and Healio OSN Clinical Commentary and Analysis Kyle Klute, OD – Optometry Simplified My Alternative Take on Atropine, Fast Progressors, and Effect Size (NNT Analysis) https://optometrysimplified.com/posts/optometry-simplified-weekly-my-alternative-take-on-atropine-fast-progressors-in-glaucoma-lab-test-ordering-and-more Strongly recommended for a detailed discussion of effect size and Number Needed to Treat. This episode references Kyle's framework without reproducing his calculations. Review of Myopia Management – Ashley Wallace Tucker, OD What Does the FDA Decision on SYD-101 Mean for Eye Care? Review of Optometry – Paul Karpecki, OD Sydnexis Snubbed Review of Optometry – Cory Lappin, OD Optometric Physician Commentary on SYD-101 Healio OSN – Ed Wilson, MD and John Hovanesian, MD AAPOS: Nonapproval of SYD-101 Has Important Implications Why This Episode Matters This episode is not about picking sides. It is about learning to sit in uncertainty without abandoning action. It challenges listeners to examine where belief helps patient care and where belief may unintentionally replace careful analysis. If you manage myopia, counsel parents, interpret clinical trials, or influence policy, this episode is designed to help you think more clearly, not more loudly. Connect and Continue the Conversation If this episode resonated with you, or if you found yourself uncomfortable in parts of it, that reaction is worth exploring.

Beloved, Happy Solstice - the RETURN TO LIGHT. This day is a moment every year when the world is invited to pause and to stop. It's quiet, almost imperceptible, but if you're paying attention—you can feel it.It happens on the Winter Solstice. The longest night. The shortest day. The edge between what has been and what is yet to come.We call it a turning point, but really—it's a still point.As the earth tilts away from the sun, everything pauses. The trees sleep. The fields rest. Even our bodies seem to crave slower rhythms, as if the ancient part of us remembers: this is the time to exhale.“The day/night of Winter Solstice is a liminal time… the moment between nights getting longer and nights getting shorter.”In the rush of daily life, we rarely let ourselves pause in that in-between. We push through dark mornings. We complain about early sunsets. We fill every silence with something to do.The White Stag, a symbol of the Winter Solstice, represents Spirit or messengers in many cultures. Seen as purified totems glowing with inner light, they offer teachings and wisdom from beyond that can transform us in unexpected ways. White Stags are also considered doorways to other realms, both a blessing and a force to be respected—following them may demand everything from you with no guarantee of return.The White Stag's link to the Winter Solstice comes from the season's clarity: with foliage gone, stark contrasts reveal what was hidden. In winter, stags are at their most powerful—gathering herds, mating for the next generation, protecting them, and embodying the forest's spirit.But just as the Solstice marks the pause before light's return, we too need the pause before renewal.So how do we embrace this? Here's what rises:* Breathe in the dark. Literally. Stand outside at noon on Solstice. Let the gloom press against your skin. Inhale stillness. Exhale striving.* Sharpen your tools. Not just hammers or skis—but your inner ones. What thoughts, habits, or regrets clutter your spirit? Write them down, then burn or bury the paper.* Move like the whitestag. Stags do not rush in the presence of fear..* It listens. Sit quietly for 10 minutes. Notice what shifts when you stop doing.Reflect with me:* What burden are you ready to release, like the stag shedding antlers?* Where might the White Stag appear in your ordinary? A sunset? A child's laugh?* How can you honor the sacred pause, instead of rushing toward spring?Winter Solstice doesn't promise instant rebirth. It gifts us a threshold—a chance to stand bare and brave, trusting that light will return. As the example of the seasonal symbol of the White Stag - they show us, strength and grace are dance partners. Shed the unnecessary. Rest deeply. Let your inner light rekindle.The longest night is not an end.

Send us a textA quiet nudge, a tightness in your stomach, a question you can't shake—those moments aren't magic tricks. They're signals. We explore how intuition actually works, why it often shows up as a bodily sensation before a thought, and how to tell the difference between a clear internal no and plain old fear. Nancy shares a recent “interview” that arrived via chat-only messages and stacked up red flags, and we turn that story into a practical checklist for staying open to opportunity without getting played.We dig into the gut-brain axis and the role diet and stress have in shaping judgment. When your digestive system is overloaded with processed food and your mind is cluttered with noise, subtle patterns get drowned out. On the flip side, when you simplify inputs—cleaner meals, calmer routines, less visual clutter—discernment gets faster and cleaner. We also talk about the skills we lose to routine and constant stimulation, and how simple practices like slow nasal breathing, short meditations, cold exposure, long walks, and better sleep bring your sixth sense back online.This conversation is grounded, not mystical. Verify recruiters on LinkedIn. Question chat-only interviews. Tally red flags without assuming bad intent. Declutter one room and notice how your breath changes. Pause before major decisions and act from calm instead of urgency. The throughline is simple: clean your mind, body, and home, and you'll hear your intuition more clearly—and trust it when it matters.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs sharper instincts, and leave a quick review to help more people find us. What's one practice you'll use this week to quiet the noise and hear your gut?

“Be authentic.” “Own your story.” “Sharpen your edges.”We say these things at Havener Capital all the time (and Stacy says them a lot). But here's the real question: do they actually move the needle?Mike Denklau, founder of Dorset Agriculture, is here to tell you they do. Today, he's giving us a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop code-switching… and start building from your real story.Before launching Dorset, Mike was part of Harvard's endowment, helping manage a $4B+ agriculture and timber portfolio. Long before that, he was an Iowa farm kid. The journey from flannel in the fields to fund meetings in Boston is full of lessons for any founder navigating identity, fundraising, and first-time firm-building.Here's what you'll hear in this episode:How a kid from Iowa ended up managing billions at Harvard and how that full-circle moment sparked Dorset's launchThe overlooked opportunity in ag investing most firms ignore (and where meaningful, steady alpha may actually be hiding)How Mike landed his first investor without a pitch and without trading his comfy flannel in for a stiff suit to fit in Why boutique founders need to stop hiding behind polish and let LPs see the messy middle (because that's where conviction is built)What early-stage fundraising actually feels like and how to keep going when the uncertainty feels personal and loudThis isn't just a story about agriculture. It's a case study in what happens when you own your different, build what the market didn't even know it needed, and let your backstory do what it does best: open doors that fitting in never could. More about Mike Denklau: Mike was born into a third-generation farming family and raised on a farm in Iowa. He has 14+ years of investment and finance experience and was involved with $8B+ of transactions.Prior to Dorset, Mike was an agriculture investor at Solum Partners and Harvard Management Company. Previously, Mike held investment and investment banking roles at Hudson Advisors, Barclays, and Lehman Brothers.Mike earned a MBA and JD from Northwestern University and a BBA in Finance and a BS in Political Science from the University of Iowa. Mike is also a member of the Illinois State Bar Association.Mike enjoys golf, skiing, and Hawkeye football. He currently lives in Boston with his wife, two children, and golden retriever. ---Running a fund is hard enough.Ops shouldn't be.Meet the team that makes it easier. | billiondollarbackstory.com/ultimus- - -Thinking about expanding your investor base beyond the US?

Learn how to sharpen positioning with real customer feedback.In this episode we interview Bernie Goldenberg, Fractional PMM Leader, on how customer insight shapes positioning that actually lands.What you'll learn in this episode:Where to find the highest signal customer feedback across sales, support, and successHow to turn scattered insight into a clear voice of customer narrativeWhen and how to use AI to organize feedback without losing nuanceHow to validate messaging through conversations, not guessworkThe single question that reveals what customers truly care aboutText us what you think about this episode!

In this episode, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill talk about what actually sharpens your marketing blade — and spoiler alert, it's not another agency, funnel, or plug-and-play system. It's relationships. Real ones. Built the slow way. The uncomfortable way. The way most people avoid because it doesn't scale nicely in a pitch deck.The guys break down why businesses that rely entirely on outsourced marketing eventually lose their edge, and why doing your own marketing — even imperfectly — forces you to understand your customers, your gaps, and your strengths way faster than hiding behind automation ever will. Marketing isn't about being clever; it's about being connected.From travel stories and food tangents to CRM insights, sales follow-ups, seasonal cash flow, and creative hustle, the episode weaves together one core truth: relationships compound. Every conversation, follow-up, DM, and handshake sharpens the sword. Ignore them, and your marketing turns into a blunt object that just makes noise instead of impact.They also dig into when agencies do make sense, when they absolutely don't, and how technology and AI should support creativity — not replace it. This episode is a reminder that the most dangerous businesses aren't the loudest… they're the ones quietly building trust, momentum, and leverage while everyone else is chasing hacks.If your marketing feels dull, frustrating, or disconnected — it's not broken.You just haven't sharpened the blade.

“People Sharpen People”Sacred Community Series – Part 3aDecember 14, 2025 | Light & Life ChurchThis week leaned right into the heart of Sacred Community: the truth that God uses people to shape people. Pastor Mark walked us through why real growth requires real relationships, even when those relationships feel a little… gritty.1. Generations Need Each OtherWe started with Titus 2 and the reminder that the church is supposed to be multi generational by design. Young and old teach each other. The body thrives when every member is connected and investing in someone else's spiritual life. That's how we leave a legacy that outlives us.And just to make it clear:Nobody is too old to ministerNobody is too young to ministerAnd both groups need to resist judging the other2. Iron Sharpens Iron… and Why That MattersProverbs 27:17 gave us the theme: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”Pastor Mark unpacked the sharpening process in a way that hit home. A knife only becomes sharp when two objects made of the same material rub, grind, and apply pressure. God designed humans to sharpen each other the same way.To become spiritually sharper:You need another personThere will be frictionThat friction has a purposeThe end result is sharpnessWe all have “rough edges,” but it takes different levels of grit to work them out. Grit in the human sense looks like courage, backbone, stamina, and determination. We need people who carry that grit so they can lovingly challenge the parts of us that don't look like Jesus yet.The catch? Being sharpened hurts. But humility lessens the amount of grit required.3. The People We Avoid Are Often the People We NeedSometimes we treat people as the problem when they're actually God's tool for our growth. Pastor Mark poked at that a little. We think we can avoid, mute, cancel, or distance ourselves from the people who rub us the wrong way. But God may have placed those very people in our lives to sharpen our character, our demeanor, and even our spiritual countenance.If you feel spiritually dull, it might be because you're missing the right people in your life.4. The Danger of Staying SilentThen we took a pretty strong turn into Ezekiel 3. When God gives truth and we keep it to ourselves, our silence can actually contribute to someone else's spiritual downfall. Sacred community requires truth telling, even when it's uncomfortable.Why don't we do it?Because many believers today have slipped into people pleasing. We're more worried about others liking us than about their souls finding life.5. Social Media Isn't Real CommunityPastor Mark hit on how social media creates the illusion of tribe while letting us avoid the messy, refining work of real human connection. Online, we can unfollow discomfort. In real community, we have to face personalities, fears, conflict, and growth.Authentic community forces sharpening. Artificial community lets us stay spiritually dull.6. The Narrow RoadJesus said the path to life is narrow. Community that honors God will always call people higher and refuse to compromise truth, morals, or faith. That's not narrow mindedness in the negative sense, but faithfulness to Scripture.2 John reminds us to guard against teachings that drift away from Christ. Giving a platform to things that oppose God doesn't just confuse the church — it makes us partners in the problem.7. The Challenge for UsThe sermon ended with two questions that cut deep:What truth have you avoided telling because you wanted to stay liked?And what have you compromised just to fit in?Sacred community can't exist in a group of people pleasers. It forms when believers call each other higher, speak truth in love, and trust that iron sharpening iron is God's design for our flourishing.

In this episode, I answer a great question from listener (and She Runs Ultras member) Kierstin:How do you train mental toughness and resiliency when the moments you need it don't show up until 12+ hours into a race?  And how do you practice that in everyday life without recreating 20 hours of race fatigue?Here's the truth: you're practicing mental toughness 24/7, whether you realize it or not.  It doesn't start with huge, heroic efforts. It starts with the small, uncomfortable, inconvenient stuff you'd rather avoid.Inside the episode, we cover:Why mental toughness is built the same way strength training is — light weight first, then load.How “small annoyances” are actually prime training reps for mental resilience.Why skipping straight to the big challenges leaves you vulnerable to the small ones that derail races.Real examples of micro-challenges you can start using today:stretching after a run, running the hill you hate, waking up early, joining the back of the pack, choosing the rocky trail, etc.How to make a simple “uncomfortable list” and use it as a training progression from small → big.The real battle: the mental chatter that shows up before you even start the task.Why your self-talk before, during, and after these moments matters just as much as the action itself.A reminder that on race day, curveballs will happen — and these daily reps are what prepare you to meet them instead of fold.I also talk about Episode 90 — Believe Hard, and why believing in your future self (yes, even irrationally at times) is a huge part of developing resilience.If you want mental toughness to show up for you on race day, now is the time to start practicing — with the small stuff first.Enjoy this episode — and start training your mind just as intentionally as your miles.⭐️ GET THE FREE ULTIMATE 50K TRAINING TOOLKIT

You ever look at your sword, then at the wizard's spellbook, and think "wait a minute, why does their magic missile hit harder than my greatsword?" Well, friends, today we fix that. We're diving deep into the art of the Fighter: the tank, the tactician, the unsung hero of every adventuring party. Sharpen your blades, tighten your greaves, and prepare to discover why hitting things really, truly is an art form. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the crew dives head-first into one of tabletop RPGs' most versatile and beloved classes: the Fighter. From mastering combat maneuvers to optimizing subclasses like Champion, Battlemaster, and Eldritch Knight, Tyler, Randall, and Ash break down what makes Fighters the cornerstone of Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder 2e alike. They cover how to build effective martial characters, balance offense vs. defense, and add flavor to roleplay beyond just swinging a sword. Whether you're a new player building your first character or a veteran min-maxer chasing the perfect attack roll, this episode will help you unleash your inner warrior and make every round of combat feel legendary. Key Takeaways Fighters are deceptively complex — easy to start, endlessly deep to master. Subclass choice defines flavor and playstyle, from the straightforward Champion to the tactical Battlemaster or arcane Eldritch Knight. Action economy is king — Fighters excel at leveraging extra attacks and bonus actions effectively. Feat selection matters — learn when to go Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, or Dual Wielder. Roleplay opportunities abound — even "simple" Fighters can have rich motivations and heroic depth. Pathfinder 2e Fighters get strong defensive options and customizable feats that reward strategic planning. Optimization tip: balance Strength/Dexterity investment with survivability; raw numbers aren't everything. Team synergy makes Fighters shine—working with spellcasters and support characters amplifies their battlefield control. Join the RPGBOT Patreon Love what you hear?

Welcome back to another episode of Grit Meets Growth. Today's a special one. We're pulling back the curtain on the brotherhood inside Built for More and inviting you into the room with us. Five months into this journey—and with most of the guys having just wrapped up a round of 75 Hard—we thought it was the perfect time to bring everyone together, share what this experience has looked like, and talk honestly about the growth, the challenges, and the wins. This one's going to be real, it's going to be raw, and it's definitely going to be fun. Let's jump in, meet the crew, and get this conversation rolling. Five Takeaways from this Episode:Brotherhood changes everything.When men get in a room together, drop the armor, and get real, transformation accelerates. You don't need everyone's backstory to build a brotherhood—you just need honesty, presence, and the willingness to show up for each other.Vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the doorway to strength.Every guy talked about leaving the macho at the door. That's where breakthroughs happened. Once the mask comes off, you finally get access to the conversations that actually move your life forward.Discipline creates momentum.75 Hard wasn't about workouts or water—it was about mental toughness. Honoring your promises to yourself, showing up when you don't feel like it, stacking small wins… that's what rebuilt confidence and shaped identity for the guys in this group.Personal growth spills into everything else.When a man gets his personal life aligned—mindset, habits, discipline—his work life, leadership, relationships, and energy all change. Every guy on the call saw the ripple effect.Iron sharpens iron.Being surrounded by high-character, high-effort men pulls you up. The group became a place to get challenged, encouraged, recalibrated, and reminded that there's more in the tank. Growth isn't a solo sport—and these men proved it. ONE TRUTH:A man becomes who he's meant to be when he stops trying to do life alone.

In this episode of The Eric Coffey Show, Eric reflects on why he left Florida to plant himself in the heart of federal activity—because real opportunity often sits closest to the fire. Joined by seasoned former senior executives from NIH, USDA, and major federal organizations, the conversation touches on the importance of showing up, investing in community, strengthening your credentials, and positioning yourself inside key socioeconomic and professional groups. Eric pulls back the curtain on why proximity, collaboration, and continuous self-development will determine who thrives as new coalitions and high-level industry connections are formed. Key Takeaways Proximity creates opportunity: Being close to federal decision-makers accelerates relationship-building and access. Sharpen your credentials: Use downtime to update certifications, join associations, and stay active in professional groups. Engage the ecosystem: Chambers, NCMA chapters, and socioeconomic organizations open doors most small businesses never tap into.

When a town's urban legend about a hook-handed killer refuses to stay buried, a fresh batch of unlucky teens learn the hard way that no heart is safe. With a cast featuring Anna Faris in one of her earliest roles, this slasher brings small-town secrets, Valentine's Day disasters, and a whole lot of screams straight to your ears.

In this weeks episode, its' all about patterned worthiness and the strategies that shape us. Key TakeawaysUnworthiness isn't an emotion; it's a patterned contraction of the field.Your nervous system measures familiarity, not worth—so expansion can feel unsafe even when it's aligned.The paradox: the more you want, the more your system braces—then you misread bracing as evidence you're “not ready.”Repatterning means tracing strategy to origin code, regulating before action, and rehearsing receiving somatically.The result: you stop confusing survival strategies for self; identity updates to truth (coherence > performance).For More InfoGet Started with READING REALITY - A 7 Day Email Series to Sharpen your Perception.Join the Field HUBtaliyahverse.substack.com@wh0sitaliyah // @superfreq.co
