Ahoy there, pirates! This week, I'm joined by Caleb as we sit down to talk about the Doubloon reset that's coming with Season 19, the overall cadence of Rare's development for the game, changes to Hourglass, and some other topics. Caleb wanted me to include the notes from the show so you can get an idea of what we chatted about for reference. Check them out below!

Black Market: Past Seasonal items, Past limited-time items (don't know if letters of recommendation or gold revert will remain) Don't want to argue limited-time items for the umpteenth time. Seasonal items already come back for doubloons, now they will just be in the black market instead of their respective shops. Blackmarket used to sell new recolors for gold, and one day Rare threw them all into their respective shops instead; why are we going backwards here? Why convert the current past seasonal items to gold if you're still going to charge doubloons for new past seasonal items? What's changing? Past season in the black market instead of the respective shops Past limited-time items as well Doesn't solve the issue of long-time players having nothing to spend doubloons on. Dev Cycles 2018-2019: Big updates every couple of months with small updates in between Small updates called Bilge Rat Adventures From release to anniversary update Hungerdeep > skeleton thrones, gunpowder skeletons, mermaid statues > cursed sails 2019-2020: Small updates every month From a few months after the anniversary update to the festival of giving (2020 - 2nd one) Fort of the Damned > Seabound Soul > Festival of Giving > Legends of the Sea > Crews of Rage 2020-2023: Big updates every couple of months with small updates in between Small updates are called events. Bile Rat Adventures was now just an umbrella section for commendations tied to the new updates. Season 1 > festival of fishing, vault raiders > Season 2 2022: Events dropped for Adventures Season 5 - Season 8 The start of Season 9 had the last adventure Events were now sparsely used for some time-limited things or to track stuff like community day 2023: Small updates every month Season 9-10 Features released across the season 9: Monkey Island 10: guilds & safer seas 2023-2025: Big updates every couple of months. Season 11-14 Notice I didn't say small updates in between. There were, but they were mostly gameplay improvements and bug fixes. This was a period when we were really feeling that they were releasing things before they were fully ready. 2025-current (2026): Small updates every month Season 15-Current (18) These updates were all a part of one big theme. For example: Season 15 ancient megs, then hunting spears & ambient wildlife, wild boars & ambient wildlife. Season 17 was intentionally spread feature release across the season, now in the form of acts. Of course, there were always delays and stuff Recurring Events Seems like they're setting up for the future. Get a suite of recurring events. Right now, we know of: Last Ship Standing for Hourglass Bilge Rat Weekender to earn doubloons Molten Sands Fortress player-activated event Smuggler Heist for smuggler loot at sea forts (key drop mechanic was cool by the way, would love to see this on a bigger scale) Maybe Reaper Fortresses' mega stash Hourglass Commendation fixing Supply (baseline starts similar to arena's equal starts) Circle (puts a soft timer on matches similar to Arena's hard timer) Last Ship Standing (puts multiple sloops in a fight similar to Arena's multi-ship fight) Friction Auto-Raising of emissary flags Lots of these things people been asking for since its release, glad they're focusing on it now Commendation fixing Supply (baseline starts similar to arena's equal starts) Circle (puts a soft timer on matches similar to Arena's hard timer) Last Ship Standing (puts multiple sloops in a fight similar to Arena's multi-ship fight) Friction Auto-Raising of emissary flags Lots of these things people been asking for since its release, glad they're focusing on it now File Size Currently: 129 GB (varies by console) 2019: optimization 47gb to 27gb 2022: 85 GB And, Overwatch 2 is 22 gigs.

She had always been close to her grandfather. Even after his death, she still found comfort visiting his grave—talking to him the same way she always had.On one difficult day, she decided to drive out to the cemetery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Something felt off almost immediately. The drive felt wrong. The calm she usually found never came. And as she approached the cemetery entrance, a sudden resistance took over—an overwhelming sense that she wasn't supposed to be there.It wasn't fear. It was certainty.A clear, insistent message repeated itself until she finally listened and turned away. The moment she did, the feeling lifted. Later that day, she learned why.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #ParanormalWarning #AfterDeathCommunication #Intuition #GuardianSpirit #Unexplained #TrueGhostStory #CemeteryEncounter #ListeningToTheUnknown #ParanormalPodcast #ListenerStories Love real ghost stories?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
How does a family go from calling the police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house with someone in apparent psychiatric crisis on December 13th, 2025? Rob Reiner wasn't stupid. He was a successful director, a public intellectual, a man with resources and connections. Michele wasn't naive. These were accomplished people who had access to the best treatment money could buy. Yet their son Nick is now charged with stabbing them to death in their Brentwood home. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent 21 years with the Bureau including serving as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to analyze what happened inside that family over twenty years. But we also examine what may have happened that night. Harvey Levin at TMZ says sources describe the crime scene as "incredibly brutal"—disturbing even to seasoned medical examiner staff. He said publicly it had "all the markings of a meth murder." Nick was arrested near Exposition Park, an area known for drug activity. His documented history includes violent outbursts while "spun out on uppers," cocaine binges, heroin addiction, and destroying his parents' guest house while high on stimulants. The family says his medication was working—then doctors changed his prescription a month before the killings. Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story. What does that level of influence tell you about the power dynamics? And the question Dreeke can't stop thinking about: Could anyone have broken through to the Reiners?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #ThreatBlindness #MentalHealth #DualDiagnosis #HollywoodTragedy #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bob is the created and owner of Trade Genius Academy. Bob also does a podcast on YouTube which is called Trade Genius. We're seeing a major shift right now with the EU and Canada cozying up to China in ways we haven’t seen before. With all this talk about tariffs and trade wars under Trump, countries like Canada under Carney are signing these big deals—lowering barriers on Chinese EVs, boosting energy and agri-food ties, and basically pivoting away from heavy US reliance. With China restricting silver exports and their economy imploding internally, losing millions of jobs, gold’s breaking out as the safe haven. We’re talking potential five-figure prices, easy, because demand’s outpacing supply big time. Short-term dips from futures games? Sure, but come January with those restrictions kicking in, watch it rocket. If you’re not positioned in gold or related assets, you’re missing the boat—it’s the hedge against all this inflation moderation and geopolitical mess. With GDP growth holding strong at over 4% and us growing our way out of debt piles. Tariffs are bringing in billions, potentially paving the way for tax refunds or even scrapping income tax altogether. Now, on top of that, families are getting a boost with kids under four qualifying for up to $1,000 through expanded child tax credits in places like New York, and it’s rolling out nationally with adjustments. This puts real money back in people’s pockets, fuels consumer spending, and by 2026, we’re looking at game-changing shifts that cut federal waste and audit the Fed. It’s populist economics at work, and it’s going to change everything for the better. President Trump, including tariffs generating billions, moderated inflation due to reduced money supply, falling rents from deportations, lower drug and health insurance costs, stabilizing food prices, and declining energy costs amid opened supply gates. Bob predicts stable food prices, declining rents, moderated healthcare inflation, and energy prices potentially dropping further post-Russia-Ukraine resolution. The conversation covers Bitcoin’s possible dip to $58,000-62,000 as speculation shifts to gold and silver, with gold potentially reaching five figures and silver facing supply shortages due to China’s export restrictions and industrial demand. Bob believes tariffs will potentially enabling tax refunds, dividends, and even eliminating income tax, while criticizing past fraud, corruption in federal programs, and the need to audit the Fed
Jodi always believed the world held more than what we notice. Her husband didn't—until their home offered them the same quiet question from two different directions.Nothing dramatic ever happened there. No cold spots. No strange sounds. Just brief, deeply familiar moments that felt completely normal—until they weren't. A child seen where he shouldn't have been. A gentle touch that came from no one at all.What makes these experiences unsettling isn't fear, but certainty. Each moment felt intentional. Personal. As if something moved through their home unnoticed, borrowing what was already trusted.Years later, there's still no explanation that fully fits. No conclusion that closes the door. Just the lingering sense that some things pass through our lives quietly—recognized not by how they appear, but by how closely they resemble what we love.#TrueGhostStory #ParanormalExperience #MimicPhenomenon #UnexplainedEncounters #RealGhostStories #QuietHaunting #SomethingWasThere #SkepticNoMoreLove real ghost stories?

A few years ago I realised I'd built an entire business around someone else's blueprint - and I had no idea I was doing it. I had the strategy, the systems, the offers. I was doing all the "right" things. And I was exhausted in a way that never got better. Then I actually looked at my birth chart. Not just my Sun sign, but the whole thing. And I saw exactly where I'd been building against my own wiring. In this episode, I'm sharing: → What I was doing that kept me stuck (and why I couldn't see it) → What I found when I looked at my chart - and what it revealed about why everything felt so hard → The shifts I made that changed everything → The 5 places I scan for leaks when I look at someone's business → How to know if you're building against YOUR wiring This one's personal.

The conversation traces her extraordinary career, starting from her childhood as a singer, dancer, and actor, through her rise to fame on A Different World, her decades-long voiceover career (including The Simpsons, Futurama, Star Trek: Lower Decks), and her ongoing philanthropic work supporting youth nationwide. Dawnn discusses the challenges of being a multi-talented artist in an industry eager to box people into one lane, how A Different World both elevated and pigeonholed her, and how animation opened a vast new chapter for her that has lasted more than 30 years.

We are diving into my journey with calorie and macro tracking. Why I stopped, what I got wrong, and why I eventually came back to it in a completely different (and much healthier) way.For years, I used tracking to stay small, under-eat, and chase aggressive calorie deficits. I believed tracking was inherently restrictive — until I realized it wasn't the tool that was the problem… it was how I was using it.This episode is for women who feel confused, stuck, or conflicted about calorie tracking, intuitive eating, fat loss, and maintenance. We talk about how tracking can either fuel disordered patterns or become one of the most freeing tools you can use — depending on your intention, mindset, and season of life.You'll hear how learning to eat at maintenance changed my body composition, improved my strength, sleep, and energy, and helped me build a healthier relationship with food — without dieting or restriction.If you've ever wondered:· “Is tracking bad for me?”· “Should I be tracking calories or eating intuitively?”· “Why am I spinning my wheels with fat loss?”· “What does eating at maintenance actually look like?” - this episode will give you clarity.· Why I originally tracked calories and macros (and how it kept me underfed)· The difference between tracking as control vs tracking as information· Why I stopped tracking — and what I misunderstood at the time· What “intuitive eating” actually looks like after years of tracking· Why eating without a plan kept me stuck· How finding and living at maintenance changed my body and mindset· Why tracking helped me eat more foods — not fewer· How tracking can support muscle gain, body recomposition, and sustainability· Who tracking is not for right now — and who it can really help· Why tracking doesn't have to be forever· The question you should ask before deciding to track:“Am I using this to take care of myself — or to control myself?”· You've dieted for years and feel burned out· You're confused about intuitive eating vs tracking· You want fat loss or muscle gain without extremes· You feel like you're “doing everything right” but not seeing results· You want a healthier, calmer relationship with foodIf this episode resonated, make sure you're subscribed to Magic Mindset with Heather Maio for weekly conversations on fitness, nutrition, fat loss, mindset, and sustainable habits — without the bullsh*t.Resources & Links:Not Another Diet Book – Your no-BS guide to sustainable fat loss, food freedom, and building habits that stickhttps://www.amazon.com/Not-Another-Diet-Book-learning/dp/B0B45Q4CLH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1656499379&sr=8-1Book a 1:1 Coaching Session – Personalized support for your strength and mindset journeyhttps://www.heathermaio.com/coaching-options

Most producers freeze when they hear "I have it through work" or "I can't afford it."In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact scripts and framework I used to handle the 7 most common life insurance objections in P&C agencies, and why the best producers don't handle objections at all. They prevent them.What you'll learn:The 4-step framework (Acknowledge, Clarify, Solve, Advance) that works for any objectionWhy "overcome" is the wrong word, and what to say insteadThe difference between early objections (obstacles) and late objections (true objections)Word-for-word scripts for: "I have it through work," "I don't need it," "I can't afford it," "I just want the car insurance," "I need to talk to my spouse," and "I need to think about it"The questions that seed doubt and create demand without being pushyWhy I stopped saying "life insurance" and what I say insteadThis isn't theory. These are the exact scripts that took me from 10 life policies a year to 251.Register for Free Live Training: https://insurancesalespro.org/webinarregistrationBook Time with Colter: https://calendly.com/lifeinsurancetraining/demo✅ Subscribe to Colter's FREE insurance sales trainings:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-35rEOirer-rBo62SAokawApple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-team-member-perspective/id1675925320Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/0EYYJYvouM22DfuAcYjhiK?si=m8gTTwvFReGfSIGQ7yZHcQPrivate Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/sSe3faCfV6KLVJh4/
What if hearing God speak to you in the last row of a church saved you from losing everything? In this episode, James Brown shares how he helps professional service business owners scale their businesses without sacrificing their lives through Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. After launching his first business in 1994 and rapidly expanding to $8M in annual revenue, James transitioned to coaching in 2014 and has now guided over 450 business owners to significant growth. He launched Small Law Firm University, growing it to $3 million in revenue within a year, and developed a CMO program generating an additional $2 million annually. James holds a Business degree from Lindenwood University (1989) and JD from St. Louis University (1993). In 2009, he was selected as one of America's Top 20 Premier Experts and featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek. James believes all businesses have the same seven working parts, and the only difference is what they sell. James reveals three relationships that transformed him: his wife Sherry, whom he's known since age three when they met in her mom's beauty salon, who believed in him when everyone else said he couldn't achieve his dreams and stood by him through 41 years including his darkest moments; his mentor Darrell Castle, a Memphis-based lawyer who taught him to reject the "cookie cutter" approach and build a business on his own terms, showing him that all businesses share seven working parts regardless of what they sell; and God, whom he encountered in March 2015 after hitting rock bottom (drinking excessively, making terrible choices, nearly losing everything) when a random stranger invited him to church where he heard God speak to him in the last row as the only white person in an all-Black congregation, completely transforming his perspective and leading him to sell his law firm to help other business owners build lives of purpose. [00:04:20] What James Does at Business Accelerator Institute Helps owners of professional service businesses scale predictably and profitably Focuses on building businesses that serve owners, not the other way around Has helped over 450 business owners achieve this transformation [00:05:20] The Defining Moment with His Wife Second year in business, struggling financially, client asked for refund Wife said: "At the end of the day, you do what's right and everything else will follow" That statement still resonates 30 years later and drives his mission to help more people [00:07:20] How Clients Find Him Primarily word of mouth and brand touches through Interview Valet (on 40 podcasts this year) Results speak for themselves without traditional marketing Recent client: 69-year-old Alabama lawyer practicing 50 years, never broke $500K, just hit $1M this year [00:11:00] The Unorthodox Path to Success Known wife Sherry since age three, met in her mom's beauty salon Parents married at 16, kicked James out at 19 when he announced marriage Told his whole childhood he was "too heavy" to do things, couldn't play sports Made varsity football first year as junior, played four years (nobody in family graduated college) [00:12:40] Working His Way Through Law School Got job at General Motors assembly line, 6 AM to 2:30 PM, went to school 4 PM to 11 PM for 10 years Right before graduating law school, GM announced plant closure Sent out 300 resumes, got zero responses with three kids (ages 5, 2, and 1) Forced to start business by necessity, not by choice [00:14:00] Meeting Mentor Darrell Castle Lawyers conditioned that marketing is "beneath them" Darrell taught him to look at business differently, be different Showed him all businesses have same seven working parts (only difference is what they sell) Set up business around not working past 4:30 PM from day one [00:15:40] Building the $8M Law Practice First rule: Business open till 7 PM and Saturdays, but James wasn't there Hired people and built systems so business ran without him Grew to $8 million annually with offices in four different states [00:16:40] The Dark Years: Getting Too Big for His Britches Started making bad choices despite success (never drank until his 40s) First drink was Irish car bomb followed by 10 kamikaze shots Started spending money on wrong things, went to strip clubs, cheated on wife Wife and him separated, she went on cruise with daughter [00:18:20] The Divine Encounter That Changed Everything March 2015: Drunk at wine bar, random stranger invited him to church next morning Went to that church by himself Sunday morning, sat in last row Only white person in all-Black church, heard God speak to him Never saw that stranger again (believes he was an angel) [00:19:40] The Wake-Up Call Wife told him: "God gives you hints, and if you don't listen, at some point He's going to slap you across the face" Nearly lost everything (wife, business, all going downhill) That March 2015 moment was most influential person: God Decided to sell law firm and start helping other business owners [00:20:20] The Leap of Faith Worked for another company making $330,000 a year coaching business owners 2018: At conference in Jacksonville, told them he was leaving, called wife from airport Goal: Get nine private clients in 60 days to replace income (took nine days) First year did just under $1 million in business [00:22:40] The Catalyst Moments After coaching calls, often sits there thinking "who was that guy?" Works with business owners from $250K to $100M annually Stopped questioning who he is to coach $100M business owners Been blessed with certain gifts and has faith they will continue [00:24:00] The Lesson of Not Labeling Setbacks Example: Payroll in two days is $15K, only $1K in operating account Freaking out keeps you from being creative and finding solutions Takes everything as exactly as it's meant to be and learns from it [00:27:40] The Live Event Revelation $10M, $50M, $100M business owners at tables with under-$500K owners Big business owners worried they wouldn't learn from "smaller" ones $50M and $100M owners took just as many notes (smaller businesses still nimble and innovative) Realized everyone can gain something from each other regardless of revenue size [00:30:00] When Is Enough, Enough? Just turned 60, my wife asked "when is enough, enough?" The Mastermind member asked: "What's your goal?" Answer: "To help people" "How many people on the planet? Are you ever gonna run out of people to help?" Never gonna run out (also volunteers through Red Cross deploying to disasters) [00:32:00] Building Business Accelerator Institute Can only work with so many people one-on-one before hitting bandwidth Goal: Give business owners Harvard-level business degree without Harvard-level dollars Over 55 four-week courses addressing all seven parts of business $249/month, includes two-hour open office hours every Wednesday [00:35:00] Final Wisdom: You're the Average of the Five Don't pay attention to what other people say, surround yourself with people who inspire you "You're the average of the five people you hang out with the most—and it's true" Example: Son played goalie since age 5, adapted performance to level of teammates around him Hang around like-minded individuals who inspire you to go where you want to go KEY QUOTES "At the end of the day, you do what's right and everything else will follow." - Sherry Brown "All businesses have the same seven working parts. Literally the only thing that's different is what we sell. The concept of running a very successful business and scaling it is simple. I'm very intentional with that word. I'm never gonna say it's easy, but the concept is simple." - James Brown CONNECT WITH JAMES BROWN

The Red Flags That Could Have Stopped The Tepe Murders The Tepe murders were not a mystery — they were a warning. In this livestream, retired NYPD detectives break down the visible danger signs, the domestic-violence escalation, and the hard legal limits that prevented police and family courts from intervening before the killings occurred. This is not hindsight speculation. It is a reality-based analysis of what law enforcement can do, what courts cannot do, and why some cases move toward tragedy despite clear warning signs. We examine the behavioral red flags, the role of protective orders, the disconnect between family court and criminal law, and the moment this case crossed from preventable to legally unstoppable.

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He was a successful director with resources, connections, and access to the best treatment money could buy. By the end, he was publicly saying they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. They brought a son exhibiting erratic behavior to a party where other guests considered calling 911. They went to sleep in a house with someone who, according to sources, was in psychiatric crisis. Something fundamentally shifted in how they perceived threat.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes twenty years of family dynamics. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delivers our most comprehensive analysis—a three-part breakdown covering Nick's individual psychology, the family dynamics that trapped the Reiners for 30 years, and systemic failures that allowed tragedy despite unlimited resources. She examines Nick's schizoaffective disorder, the medication change that reportedly destabilized him one month before the murders, and the psychology of someone who admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy.Part two breaks down how the family "grew used to" behavior that alarmed strangers and what three decades cycling through 18-plus facilities does to parents. Part three exposes why the mental health system failed. Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for Nick. Alexis Haines said he belonged in a hospital. The care he needed may not even exist.

With the throwback to 2016 trend, Yue reflected back to what she was like during that time when dating. As someone who was often told she was "intimidating", she shares how she used to view this as a badge of honor and as a way to attract men, but now realizes it was code for being emotionally unavailable and attracting all the wrong types of people. She shares why this actually held her back in dating, the shifts she made, and why she wants to be viewed as open and available instead. Enjoy!

Alright... the big Paramount debut is here. The only question is... where is Dana White? Has he just kinda given up? We think so. The guy has way too much going on and this whole UFC/MMA promotion game now feels like a side quest to him.
Do you have any fun vacations planned this year? I want you to be able to take off work and not worry about problems that may come up when you are gone. Here's the truth: if your team comes to you for every little problem that comes up, you will never grow. In the latest episode of Do It My Way, I break down how to train your team to become solutionists: people who think, take ownership, and solve problems without waiting for a handout. You'll hear: The simple question that turns complaints into action How to require solutions without stifling creativity Real-life examples of teams that leveled up fast If you want a team that runs toward solutions instead of running to you, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Stop Over-Drinking and Start Living, I sit down with former client, Megan, to talk about the year it finally clicked. She first worked with me in a 6-month group container, and later committed to a full year of private coaching — the year she became alcohol-free and stayed that way. What makes her story so powerful is that the year before, she had the same goal: to go an entire year without drinking. And she didn't make it. It wasn't until she tried again the following year that it all clicked. She shares 3 things that helped her not get overwhelmed by the big goal of going alcohol-free for so long. #1 will surprise you! And 3 things that she does in the moments she has thoughts about a drink. She also shares a story of how she coped with the stress of a long day of intense interviews.. and it's not what you would think! Megan really is an example of what is possible, with dedication, never giving up despite lots of 'failures,' and consistent support! This conversation is for women who are sober curious, want to drink less, or are exploring a healthier relationship with alcohol without shame, labels, or rigid rules. If you want this type of support I'm excited to open up 3 spots to work with me privately that include a retreat at The Magic House in Lisbon, Portugal.

Last week, I dove into how the real magic on the job happens only after you take action (not before). This week, I want to show you what that looks like over time. Because honestly, what I wish someone had handed me at the start of my career wasn't just encouragement. It was context. I needed to hear how different environments teach you radically different lessons about construction, managing projects, and building a business. So this isn't a pep talk about mindset. This is about learning by doing: What I picked up in the intensity of ultra high-end New York projects 30 years ago The (often humbling) early years of starting my own firm and still underpricing everything And what finally clicked, a decade ago, as my experience outgrew how I was positioning myself. If you've ever felt capable but underpaid, seasoned but still questioned, or sure of your work but unsure how to charge for the responsibility? This episode is for you.

She shares how letting go of control, slowing down, and trusting God's timing has changed the way she moves through this season of her life.This conversation is about self acceptance, releasing pressure, and learning to live in the moment without rushing outcomes. A gentle reminder that not everything needs to be forced to work out, and that growth can happen when you allow things to unfold naturally.
Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
You have not lost your edge. You've outgrown a growth strategy built for a smaller version of you.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon This episode is powered by The Ascension Archetype Quiz. Season 7 of the Move to Millions Podcast is about pulling back the curtain on a truth most CEOs are never told: success is not the problem. For many high-achieving entrepreneurs, the tension, heaviness, or resistance they feel as they grow is not a sign they are doing something wrong. It is a signal that who they are becoming is asking for a different way of leading. If you've been following the formulas, doing the work, and still wondering why growth feels heavier than it should, this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. This conversation goes beyond tactics and strategies and into the deeper work of identity and divine wiring, revealing why effort alone eventually stops working and what actually allows success to expand without costing you your peace, alignment, or sense of self. Here's the truth: Success doesn't create safety. It exposes the absence of it. Most leaders don't fail from lack of strategy, they fail because their internal capacity hasn't caught up to their external results. That's the silent sabotage happening in most seven-figure businesses. You'll walk with a radically new lens on your next level, one that prioritizes your divine wiring, nervous system regulation, and the necessity of internal congruence. You'll understand why your current tension is not a sign of failure—it's a signal that you're ready for a new kind of leadership and that your ascension has already begun. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to recognize when your business model is no longer serving the version of you you've become ✔ How to discern the difference between strategic expansion and spiritual misalignment ✔ How to lead from embodiment rather than exhaustion at the seven-figure level ✔And so much more This episode is a call to release the outdated belief that more effort is the answer to expansion. If you've outgrown your old success strategies but don't yet trust what's next, this is your moment. It's time to set the tone for a new kind of seven-figure leadership: one anchored in alignment, identity, and internal safety. This is your invitation to stop forcing strategy to carry what only your nervous system can hold. You've evolved, but are you still running a business that reflects an earlier version of you? You'll hear the deeper reason success starts to feel like pressure, and what it means when your business is growing but your identity hasn't caught up. This conversation ignites the recalibration required to lead from your wholeness, not your hustle.

Capacity is.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Strategy assumes your nervous system can hold the outcomes you're pursuing.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Seven figures was never the destination. It was always the doorway.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Success doesn't automatically create safety—it removes the illusion of it.” — Dr. Darnyelle “Your strategy hasn't failed. Your identity just hasn't expanded to match it yet.” — Dr. Darnyelle Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Am I building a business that reflects the current version of who I am? Does my nervous system feel safe holding the level of success I've already achieved? Is my strategy compensating for an identity I haven't fully stepped into? What am I carrying that I was never meant to hold? What would shift if I led from my divine wiring instead of external pressure? Want more of Darnyelle?

Physical therapy is having a moment — and not all of it is comfortable.In this episode, Jimmy McKay breaks down a growing debate around PT salary, burnout, career growth, and work ethic, sparked by posts from veteran physical therapist Rob Panariello.Rob argues that success in physical therapy comes from exceptional effort, clinical excellence, and personal responsibility — a framework that built many successful careers.But newer physical therapists are asking a different question: Does hard work still reliably convert into opportunity in today's healthcare system?This episode explores:Why PT salaries feel stagnantHow student loan debt changes career mathWhere hard work still compounds — and where it doesn'tWhy this isn't a generational fightAnd what needs to change to retain great cliniciansThis isn't a rant.It's a translation — between effort and incentives, experience and reality.
In this powerful episode of The Sisterhood of Sweat, Linda Mitchell sits down with a guest whose work and perspective speak directly to the moment we're living in—a time when burnout, pressure, and emotional overload have become the norm rather than the exception. This conversation explores what real resilience actually looks like when life feels heavy. Not the "push harder" version so many of us have been taught, but a grounded, sustainable kind of strength that supports both performance and peace. Together, Linda and her guest unpack how stress shows up in the body, why so many high-achieving people feel exhausted even when they're doing everything "right," and how mental and emotional health require intention just as much as physical fitness does. Throughout the episode, Linda asks thoughtful questions about the early warning signs of burnout, the difference between discipline and self-punishment, and why so many people ignore their emotional needs until they reach a breaking point. The discussion highlights how stress is not just a mental experience, but a full-body response that impacts sleep, hormones, focus, motivation, and long-term health. The conversation also dives into practical tools listeners can use right away—simple shifts in mindset, daily practices that calm the nervous system, and ways to build emotional strength without adding more pressure or perfectionism. There's a strong emphasis on meeting yourself where you are, letting go of guilt around rest and recovery, and understanding that resilience is something you build over time, not something you prove in a crisis. Faith, purpose, and values are woven naturally into the discussion, offering another layer of support for those who draw strength from spirituality without turning it into another box to check or standard to meet. The episode reinforces the idea that ambition and inner calm do not have to be opposites—and that sustainable success comes from alignment, not exhaustion. This episode is a reminder that strength isn't about white-knuckling your way through life. It's about creating habits, environments, and internal dialogue that allow you to show up fully—without burning out in the process. If you've been feeling stretched thin, wired but tired, or questioning how much longer you can keep going at this pace, this conversation will help you reset your perspective and walk away with tools you can actually use.
