Podcasts about staying calm

What happens when the power goes out, the roads are blocked, and 911 can't get to you? For Patrick Thibeault, preparedness isn't a theory. It was forged in places where hesitation, poor training, and bad decisions could cost lives. In this episode of The MisFitNation, Rich LaMonica sits down with Patrick — retired U.S. Army combat veteran, former combat medic, paratrooper and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment flight medic, ICU registered nurse, Family Nurse Practitioner, author, survivalist, and creator of the Total Preparedness Program. Patrick served during Desert Storm and Afghanistan, treated casualties under extreme conditions, and later carried those lessons into civilian medicine. Today, he teaches ordinary people how to become more capable when the systems they normally rely on suddenly aren't available. And one message runs through this entire conversation: Buying emergency gear is not the same thing as being prepared. Patrick explains why skills, repetition, mindset, and knowing your limitations matter far more than filling a closet with survival equipment. You'll hear why he believes one of the most important medical skills a family can learn is how to properly use a tourniquet, what belongs in a realistic trauma kit, why people need to actually practice with their equipment, and how staying calm can dramatically change the outcome of a high-pressure situation. Patrick also shares a powerful reminder that even experienced preppers get caught off guard. When severe storms hit his area, his solar backup failed, his generator developed a broken fuel line, his sump pump stopped working, and his basement flooded. Instead of hiding the failure, Patrick uses it as a lesson: You cannot prepare for everything — but you can learn from every failure. In this episode: The emergency medical skill Patrick believes every family should know Why you should own two tourniquets — one for emergencies and one for training What belongs in a practical trauma and medical kit Why skills matter more than expensive survival gear Staying calm when everyone around you is panicking Preparing when EMS or hospitals may be hours away Why children should learn age-appropriate emergency skills Ham radio, GMRS, CB radio, and backup communication Land navigation and survival training Why the “lone wolf” approach to preparedness can fail Building a network of people with complementary skills Food storage, gardening, freeze-drying, and long-term self-reliance Preparing for children, older adults, and family members with medical needs What combat taught Patrick about pressure, resilience, and decision-making His transition from an elite military environment to McDonald's, CNA work, nursing, and becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner How veterans can rebuild identity and purpose after military service Why teaching preparedness has helped Patrick reclaim part of what combat took from him One of the most revealing moments comes when Patrick describes what combat can do to a person: It can take part of your soul. For Patrick, teaching others has become one way of putting some of that back. That turns this episode into something larger than a conversation about prepping. It's about service, resilience, humility, competence, community, and becoming the person others can depend on when life goes sideways. Whether you're a veteran, parent, first responder, healthcare professional, prepper, survivalist, or simply want your family to be more prepared for the unexpected, this conversation will challenge you to think differently about what being “ready” actually means.

Staying Calm and Staying Firm   Hosts: Dr. Beth Wilkins and Dr. Anna Quinzio-Zafran In this episode, Dr. Beth and Dr. Anna tackle the moment every new teacher dreads, the one where a student pushes and the whole room waits to see what you'll do. They reframe that test as a question rather than an attack, and show how the same core skills play out differently at every stage from pre-K through senior year. In this episode:     Why a student testing you is rarely personal, and what they're actually asking: are you safe, are you steady, and do you mean what you say     Pre-K and kindergarten: the “you're not the boss” carpet standoff, and why a small choice beats a command with a flooded four year old     First and second grade: the warm broken record for the student who argues every direction like a tiny courtroom lawyer     Third through fifth grade: naming the eye roll or under-the-breath comment privately instead of publicly to protect a student's dignity and the relationship     Middle school: why defiance is almost always a performance for an audience, and why you should never hand a student a public stage to lose on     Deferring the power struggle instead of fighting on the student's schedule     High school: reading the quieter test, the head on the desk, the phone, the flat refusal, and why force backfires with older students     Getting curious, not controlling, and leading with respect to bring the wall down     The five-part through line that works at every grade: regulate yourself first, take the audience out of it, offer a way to save face, stay boringly consistent, and repair when you slip     Why an off ramp isn't letting students off the hook, it's the only kind of compliance that lasts     Why apologizing after you lose your cool builds authority rather than costing it Key takeaway Staying calm and staying firm isn't about never being tested, every good teacher is. It's about being the steady, predictable presence in the room when it happens, so students learn they can trust both your warmth and your limits. #StayingCalmStayingFirm #NewTeacherTalk #ClassroomManagement #NewTeachers #TeacherPD #ClassroomCulture #TeacherLeadership #K12Education

With markets noisier and more uncertain than ever, Dimensional Fund Advisors founder David Booth goes Inside the ICE House to make the case that staying calm is not just good advice — it's backed by a century of data. He discusses his new book, Stay Calm, and why the same principles that help people navigate life's uncertainties are the ones that lead to long-term investing success. Booth challenges the allure of market timing and prediction, arguing instead for planning, patience, and trusting in human ingenuity as the engine behind decades of 10% annual stock returns. He also reflects on Dimensional's milestone crossing of $1 trillion in assets under management and why personalization may be the next major wave in investing.

In today's episode we talk with a pioneer of modern asset management, Dimensional Fund Advisors founder David Booth. David founded Dimensional in 1981 and it has since grown to over $1 trillion in assets, making it one of the most successful quantitative investment firms in history. We talk with him about his new book, Stay Calm: Learn to Embrace Uncertainty in Investing and Life. We discuss his early career working on both the world's first index fund and the first active quant strategy developed by finance legends Fischer Black and Myron Scholes. David explains why successful investing involves embracing uncertainty - because it is that uncertainty that generates long-run returns. He explains why we should abandon predicting markets and focus instead on planning. We end by discussing why he is both a realist and optimist and how each of us can cultivate the same mindset.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow David on LinkedIn and Read his Book.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why uncertainty creates opportunity for long term investors01:01 - David Booth's journey from Kansas to pioneering modern investing06:13 - The birth of index investing and the origins of Dimensional10:21 - Why investing is about managing uncertainty not predicting markets13:00 - Why everyone should own part of the market14:00 - Human ingenuity, market resilience and the lessons of history18:02 - Updating research without abandoning first principles23:38 - Has the rise of index investing changed the market?28:45 - Diversification beyond the Magnificent Seven29:52 - Tuning out market noise and focusing on what matters32:23 - Why life events should shape your portfolio more than headlines34:53 - Plan don't predict and learning to stay calm39:02 - Optimism, realism and why markets continue to work42:33 - Why investors have never had it betterCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

In this episode of the Ready State Podcast, Kelly and Juliet Starrett sit down with the retired SEAL Team Six operator, pilot, skydiver, and author of Drownproof to explore the mindset that helps people stay steady when life feels anything but that.From a chaotic military skydive gone spectacularly wrong to the emotional toll of divorce, Andy shares why the ability to "chunk" overwhelming challenges into the next manageable step has become one of the most valuable skills he's ever developed. Along the way, the conversation dives into self-talk, asking for help, ownership, leadership, flow state, and why resilience isn't about being fearless – but about learning to focus on what you can control when everything else feels out of control.Whether you're navigating a personal setback, leading a team, raising kids, or simply trying to build a more resilient mindset, this episode offers practical lessons for staying grounded, making better decisions, and keeping your head above water when the inevitable storms of life arrive.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy resilience is less about toughness and more about controlling what you can controlHow breaking overwhelming challenges into small, manageable steps can help you navigate almost any crisisThe surprising role that self-talk plays in performance, confidence, and decision-making under pressureWhy asking for help is one of the strongest leadership skills, not a sign of weaknessHow finding a healthy "flow state" can improve focus, reduce stress, and build long-term resilience through work, sport, or everyday lifeKey Highlights: (00:00) Intro & Andy's Background(05:15) Origin of "Becoming a Supple Leopard"(11:00) Backstory of "Drownproof" Title(17:49) Where We Learn Resilience & Life Skills(20:22) Breaking Tasks Into Small Chunks(23:12) Andy's Wild HAHO Jump Story(30:43) Everything Goes Wrong Mid-Air(37:52) Getting to Safety & Lesson From the Jump(43:04) How Divorce Was Harder Than SEAL Training(47:38) The Power of Self-Talk(49:11) Asking for Help as a Sign of Strength(54:32) After-Action Reviews, Accountability, & Leadership(54:34) Why 85% Quit BUD/S(58:14) The Chunking vs. Overwhelm Theory(1:00:00) Hell Week & the Psychology of Time(1:09:57) "It Takes Longer to Do It Wrong"(1:17:32) Writing Drownproof(1:20:38) BASE Jumping, Wingsuits, & Risk(1:23:44) Flow State, Not Adrenaline(1:31:23) The Sphere of Influence Exercise(1:33:32) Redirecting Negative Self-Talk(1:34:47) The Infinite Shelf: Money & MeaningHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT and Momentous.

Feeling stuck in a job that drains you, stretched thin by responsibilities, or caught in relationships that leave you exhausted? In this episode, Lisa names the pressure that builds when you feel trapped and start believing you have no real options. She explains how chronic stress often grows when we feel backed into a corner by work, family, money, caregiving, relationships, or the fear of making the wrong move. Lisa introduces the Law of Requisite Variety from the science of systems and control. The principle says that the person with the most flexibility and options has the greatest ability to influence outcomes. In real life, that means if you are facing ten challenges but only have one way of responding, the stress will keep having more power than you do. Tune in to start moving from feeling stuck to asking the questions that can open a new path forward. MENTIONED 76 Here's how I disowned average and adopted a spirit of excellence!

What if mindfulness isn't actually about feeling calm?Mindfulness is often presented as a way to become more peaceful, relaxed and emotionally unbothered. But that's not what mindfulness really requires, and it's certainly not what effective mindful leadership looks like.In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess explores why you don't have to be calm to be mindful. You can be frustrated, anxious, angry, overwhelmed or under pressure and still practise mindfulness. The difference is what happens next.Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable emotions, mindfulness can help you notice what's happening in your thoughts, emotions and body before automatically reacting. That awareness creates a valuable choice point between what you experience and how you respond.Jess explores:What mindfulness actually means beyond "being calm"The difference between emotional regulation and emotional suppressionWhy leaders don't need to appear calm and unbothered all the timeHow mindfulness can help you respond rather than react under pressureThe role of embodied awareness in mindful leadershipWhy difficult emotions can contain useful informationHow to recognise when you're becoming emotionally activatedWhy mindfulness sometimes makes you more aware before it makes things feel easierA simple Notice → Name → Choose practice you can use in moments of pressure. Mindful leadership isn't about becoming the calmest person in the room. It's about developing the awareness and capacity to choose how you show up, even when you're not calm.You don't have to control your emotional experience to lead intentionally. You have to become aware enough to work with it.Resources mentioned:

Have you ever found yourself reacting in a way you promised yourself you wouldn't?You know what you want to say. You know how you want to parent. But in the moment, your emotions take over and afterward you're left wondering, "Why is this so hard?"In this archive episode, Andryanna sits down with Registered Psychotherapist Kathryn Anne Flynn for a conversation about parenting, emotional regulation and the nervous system.Drawing from attachment theory, trauma-informed therapy, body-based practices and years of experience working with children, adults and families, Kathryn explains why our reactions often make perfect sense and how we can begin responding with greater awareness, compassion and connection.In this episode:• Why parenting can feel so emotionally overwhelming;• What's happening in your nervous system during stressful parenting moments;• The difference between co-regulation and self-regulation;• How your own childhood experiences can influence the way you parent today;• Why repair matters more than perfection;• What attunement really looks like in everyday family life;• How sensory differences can create conflict between parents and children;• Practical strategies for navigating big emotions with more compassion, for your child and yourself.Kathryn Anne Flynn is a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Centre Director of The Wren Centre: Therapy for All Ages, and an educator specializing in yoga, Ayurveda and meditation.

This sermon, drawn from Mark chapter 4, explores the story of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee. Pastor Jason uses this passage to help us understand how Jesus sees the storms of life differently than we do. Rather than simply offering relief from difficulty, Jesus offers something deeper: a shalom, or fullness, that fills us from the inside out regardless of what is swirling around us. The message challenges us to say yes to Jesus's invitation to follow Him, even into uncomfortable and unknown territory, trusting that He is present and powerful in every storm.

Join Julie Potiker as she leads this open awareness meditation. She completes the meditation with her poem, "Before Dawn".Before Dawn, by Julie Potiker.Even with fences, even with locks, I'm not always safe from the thoughts in my head. The second sleep—that strange, lucid hour before dawn—can be a dangerous place. My mind unspools anxieties, wild and uninvited.I climb out from under the dogs and tangled covers, pour a strong brew, and step into the courtyard. The air is cool, the sky still a deep indigo. Somewhere a robin begins, then a towhee joins in, and soon the whole chorus is at work as the light rises. Slowly, I begin to breathe in rhythm with them. The chatter inside softens. The morning expands. I remember that peace is not the absence of thought, but the practice of returning—again and again.Continue your mindfulness journey with Julie - through her writings.

Calm isn't a personality trait you either have or don't. It's a learned response, and you build it by having a system before the crisis hits. These are actual steps I'm taking right now at Creek Road Pottery to build something more resilient. In this episode, Alford Wayman walks through the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle as a studio practice, not a management seminar concept. PDCA came out of industrial quality control, places where the same failure costs thousands of dollars, wasted time, wasted raw materials, and effort loss.

There are some situations where panic is not an option. In today's episode, Ryan talks with Senator Mark Kelly about what his years as a Navy pilot, test pilot, and NASA astronaut taught him about fear, focus, humility, and staying calm under pressure. They discuss the lessons of spaceflight, the danger of ego in high-stakes moments, Marcus Aurelius' “view from above,” and what real leadership requires in today's world.Senator Mark Kelly is the senior United States Senator from Arizona. Before entering public service, he served as a U.S. Navy combat pilot, test pilot, and captain. He was selected as a NASA astronaut in 1996 and flew four space shuttle missions: STS-108, STS-121, STS-124, and STS-134, commanding the final two. Over the course of his NASA career, he spent more than 54 days in space. After his wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was shot in an assassination attempt in 2011, Kelly retired from the Navy and NASA later that year. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2020 in the special election for the seat once held by Senator John McCain, and was reelected to a full term in 2022.

Breathe in peace and tranquility through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "All the Ways to Name a Dragonfly", by Ellen Rowland.All the Ways to Name a DragonflyWhat if your first thought upon wakingwas not of all you have to do, or how sadand frightening the world is, but this:I am alive. In a body. On a day I have never met.Hello, you beauty.What if, instead of reaching for a dark screen,you stood on the back porch of this weeping,sought the bay window of the sky seeping peachlight into your soul, or maybe slate, salmon,cerulean, painting the day alive with swathesof impossible color right before your eyes.What if, despite your knotted heart, you made a listof everyone you love, anthologized the weedsin your yard, collected seeds, feathers, and lost poems,made a lexicon of all the ways to name a dragonflyin this world: libellule, vážka, dreóilín, pilivesa, spāre.What if you then made something with your hands—a daisy chain, bread, a potholder, a salad of dandelions—and gave it to someone near, a neighbor, a child, a stranger,because the others are too far away. This matters, too.And what if, today, you allowed yourself to feel the rough huskof all you are—every fault, fear, scab and scar—so that the goalis not to be right or good, but to be whole. Like somethingslightly bruised in the fruit basket on the kitchen table, you sinkyour teeth in and bite anyway, like it's the very first time.-Ellen RowlandContinue your mindfulness journey with Julie - through her writings.

Collin Werner might only be 27, but don't let his age fool you. He's already worked in some of the most well-regarded kitchens in Omaha, now advancing to become the Chef de Cuisine at Au Courant.

This episode is a deep dive into creativity, discipline, and what it really takes to succeed in a modern kitchen.

The world doesn't feel stable right now — and your nervous system knows it. Economic uncertainty, political chaos, global conflict: even if none of it is landing directly on your doorstep, it's landing in your body. You're more reactive than usual. Your sleep is off. You're scrolling more and resting less. You're doing fine — except that quietly, underneath it all, you're not.This episode is about how to stay grounded when the external world keeps shifting. Not through toxic positivity or pretending things are fine. Not through a five-step productivity system. Through something more honest: learning to anchor yourself in what's actually stable when almost nothing outside of you is.Today we're walking you through what groundedness actually means — and more importantly, what it feels like in a body that's been running on high alert. You'll leave this episode with a clearer understanding of why you feel so rattled right now, and a set of practices you can return to again and again when the news cycle, the economy, or life itself starts to spin.This is courage for the long haul. Let's practice it together.

Arsenal survived one of the season's most chaotic afternoons at the London Stadium to remain top of the Premier League — but this was far from a comfortable title-race performance.The panel breaks down Arsenal's dominant opening spell, the tactical structure that initially overwhelmed West Ham, and why the game completely changed following Ben White's injury and Mikel Arteta's controversial reshuffle.There's detailed discussion around Declan Rice moving to right back, Martin Zubimendi's difficult introduction into the game, and whether Arteta once again overthought a high-pressure moment.The episode also focuses heavily on David Raya's enormous late save from Matías Fernández, with debate over where it ranks among Arsenal's most important moments of the season.Martin Ødegaard's substitute cameo, Leandro Trossard's decisive winner, and Arsenal's ability to survive difficult moments under pressure are all analysed as the title race enters its final weeks.The second half of the show is dominated by VAR controversy after West Ham's stoppage-time equaliser was ruled out for a foul on David Raya. The panel reacts to the media fallout, pundit reaction, and the wider narrative surrounding Arsenal's set pieces and corner routines.There's also discussion around Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori injury concerns, the emotional toll of the run-in, Manchester City's remaining fixtures, and whether Arsenal can finally get over the line.A chaotic afternoon. A massive result. And two league games left.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Match Review Setup & Arsenal's Huge Week Context(01:09) - Starting XI Debate & Arteta Sticking With The Same Team(02:15) - Rotation Questions, Ødegaard & Squad Management(03:18) - Arteta's “Vibes” Moments & Tactical Contradictions(04:04) - Arsenal's Dominant Opening & Early Chances(07:01) - Set Piece Pressure & Calafiori Threat Discussion(08:26) - Ben White Injury Blow & Tactical Consequences(09:19) - Arteta's Zubimendi Substitution Debate(13:10) - Declan Rice at Right Back & Midfield Collapse Discussion(16:56) - Pressure Moments, Pep Comparisons & Arteta Debate(19:21) - West Ham Chances & Half-Time Context(19:45) - Calafiori Injury & Second Half Tactical Balance(21:04) - Havertz, Ødegaard & Arsenal Losing Control(22:06) - David Raya's Huge Save vs Fernández(25:03) - Defensive Trust & Goalkeeping Discussion(26:42) - Ødegaard Build-Up & Trossard's Winning Goal(28:17) - Late West Ham Pressure & Disallowed Goal Drama(30:33) - VARse: Raya Foul Debate & Media Reaction(35:38) - Arsenal Corner Narratives & Set Piece Discussion(39:23) - Souček, Kai Havertz & Penalty Debate(41:18) - Why The Goal Was Correctly Disallowed(44:10) - Arteta, VAR & Darren England Discussion(46:18) - Risk of Mistakes?(48:45) - Raya Save Comparisons & Son Heung-min Discussion(50:05) - Arsenal's Title Run-In & Final Two Games(52:11) - Final Thoughts: Injuries, Trossard & Staying Calm(55:34) - Outro & Upcoming Shows

Ever wondered what it takes to catch at the highest level of professional baseball? In this episode of the Backpack Podcast, Toronto Blue Jays catcher Willie Maciver joins us to break down the physical and mental demands of life behind the plate. From technical stance adjustments to the killer mentality needed in the box, Willie shares the secrets that helped him reach the majors. Willie dives deep into his transition to the big leagues, explaining why catching is as much about feel and trust as it is about scouting reports. We explore the technical shift from traditional stances to the modern one-knee-down approach and how it impacts receiving and blocking. Willie also shares invaluable advice on the mental side of the game, including the importance of breathing through high-pressure situations and maintaining a fearless mindset. We also talk gear, specifically why Willie trusts All Star Sporting Goods for his protection and performance.

On Tuesday, March 3, Brian Szytel reports a volatile session where the Dow opened down about 850 points, fell as much as 1,200, and recovered to close down about 400, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq down about 1% and moving more in unison; the 10-year yield rose only 1 bp after being up over 6 bps earlier. Markets reacted to fears around a near-closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which briefly lifted oil over 9% before closing up 2.8%, and to U.S. assurances of tanker insurance/protection that eased inflation expectations; TIPS breakevens jumped about 20 bps. He notes LNG is cut off to most Middle East countries and export transportation is down 20%, with U.S. gas about 40% cheaper than Europe/Asia. He previews key week data (ADP, PMI/ISM services, Beige Book, claims, productivity, and the employment report) and answers an AI question: U.S. power upgrades are “when, not if” despite regulatory delays and natural-gas advantages, while China faces chip export controls; U.S.–China AI partnership is unlikely due to national security concerns. 00:00 Market Selloff Recap 00:36 Strait Tensions and Oil Spike 02:03 Energy Supply Disruptions 02:27 War Headlines and Market Context 03:16 Inflation Breakevens and TIPS 03:32 Staying Calm in Volatility 04:12 Week Ahead Economic Data 04:52 Ask TBG AI and Energy 05:24 US Power Buildout Outlook 06:33 China Chips and DeepSeek Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

My guest today is Dan Sundheim. Dan is the founder and CIO of D1 Capital Partners. He thinks about markets and businesses constantly, and has built a career entirely around that obsession. He manages over $30B across both public and private markets, with investments in SpaceX, OpenAI and Anthropic, and a public portfolio of names you may never have heard of. Dan shares the story of the short case he wrote on Orthodontic Centers of America and posted on Value Investors Club, which crashed the stock, and helped him land his first job. He shares why he backed Anthropic at a moment when many people told him it was the Lyft to OpenAI's Uber, what reading Dario Amodei's essays reminded him of Jeff Bezos, and how he thinks about LLM business models through the lens of Netflix and Spotify. We spend time on the extraordinarily stressful moment in early 2021 when GameStop hit the firm, and what Dan believes is the single biggest tail risk facing the global economy right now.
