In this thought-provoking episode of The Impossible Life, Nick Surface sits down with author, speaker, and modern-day philosopher Josh Craft to unpack one of the most misunderstood principles in both spiritual and personal growth: God's way is built on process, not outcomes.From ancient philosophy to biblical wisdom, this episode explores why your success isn't measured by what you achieve—but by how you live. Together, Nick and Josh reveal how the world trains us to chase goals, hacks, and results, but God trains us to walk in faithfulness, discipline, and virtue.
What if your superpower was secretly destroying your life?Ian Fee spent decades thinking alcohol was his key to connection – his edge in business and relationships. He built a successful career, a massive network, and a party-filled life that looked like everything was working. But beneath the surface, he was numb, disconnected, and silently unraveling.Everything changed on the third day of rehab, when a moment of clarity hit: if he wasn't right with himself, nothing else would ever be right. That spark ignited a complete shift. Since then, Ian's found deeper purpose through daily routines, emotional healing, and a strong core of support. He's sharing his story not just to reflect, but to help others know it's never too late to change your life.Takeaways:A moment of emotional awakening in rehab changed Ian's direction for goodHe learned to replace numbing with daily healing practices like journaling, meditation, and cold plungesHis transformation was possible because he built a small, trusted circle of support who saw every version of himTopics Discussed:Why he believed alcohol was the key to his professional successThe emotional suppression that followed decades of drinkingEntering rehab and hitting a breaking pointThe role of his "core four" in keeping him groundedCreating daily rituals to feel better, not just functionHow sharing vulnerably helped him reclaim his storyThe ripple effect of helping others through his bookWebsites:makeitgreat.me – Ian's personal site with merch and infoAmazon – The Wild Ride to Sobriety by Ian FeeResources: To listen in on more conversations about pivotal moments that changed lives forever, subscribe to "The Life Shift" on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

"Living as modern humans we are disconnected, out of place and don't belong in the same way as other species""If you're feeling called to do something larger than you - you should follow that"SummaryTodays guest Elspeth Hay experienced a rewriting of all she had known when when one day she was grappling with the frustration that the area she calls home didn't have the ability to create more small scale, localised food systems because they were landlocked by the ocean and surrounded by established Oak forests. Until one day her belief and her story was challenged when she learned that we can eat acorns. From there stories she'd believed her whole life began to unravel. Not just about acorns but about the way humans have pattered ourselves to our current day reality.This process led her to write a book titled feed us with trees. The journey of the book creation took her on an ancestral tour from New England USA to the UK, introduced her to indigenous wisdom keepers, gave her the courage to challenge the system we know to be true and hold empathy for the courageous wisdom knowledge holders that have kept nature based skills and interaction alive.Elspeth is a is a wonderful story teller and with this skill alone I'm sure she is one of those humans who we need as the bridge to wherever it is we are headed."Our story is totally made up & doesn't follow any natural laws so we can look to other influences to rewrite it'Loved this?

On this podcast, we usually sit down with guests to talk about marriage and family life. But in this episode, we wanted to get personal and share a piece of our own story—specifically, how depression has impacted our marriage.We have been married for over 30 years and have five children together, but what we didn't know until the birth of our third child is that one in seven women experience postpartum depression (PPD) after birth. Postpartum depression can wear many different faces, such as sadness, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, and intrusive thoughts.What neither of us could predict at that time is that the birth of our baby would move us to one of the hardest valleys we've faced as a couple. Today, we're sharing what we learned as we adjusted to life with a growing family—while also navigating the effects of this mental health struggle.In this conversation, we share:How stress and depression can impact marriageWhat postpartum depression looked like in our storyThe importance of leaning on one anotherAnd more!If you and your spouse are going through a hard season or a mental health issue is taking its toll, we hope this conversation will bring some hope and encouragement your way.Show Notes: https://growinghometogether.com/depression-109/
Every Picture Tells a Story is a great name for Rod Stewart's third solo studio album. The songs consist of solid storytelling, using mixture of original and cover tracks to paint a mosaic of life, love, and loss. This album would mark the transition of Stewart from a solid rock vocalist to an A-list performer. Every Picture Tells a Story hit the top of the album charts in both the US and the UK, and its blend of rock, blues, and folk music would have a staying power over the decades. Supposedly the album was compiled on a shoestring budget, and consists of a number of songs paired with extended jams.Stewart compiled this album during his tenure as front man for the Faces, and all five members of that group appear on the album. Because of contractual obligations at the time, the personnel listing on each track is a bit vague, but it is possible that all five members were on the recording of "(I Know) I'm Losing You." The first single released from the album was "Reason to Believe," which was a cover of Tim Hardin's 1966 song. But the B-side of that album would be the one that would cause Rod Stewart to become a breakthrough success. That song, written by Rod Stewart and Martin Quittenton, was "Maggie May." The album would top the charts, and would be a noticeable success on the year-end charts of the Billboard 200 albums in 1971 (#35) and 1972 (#65), while taking the number 2 spot for the UK album charts in 1971. Not bad for a soccer player who wasn't able to go pro!Rob brings us the bluesy album for this week's podcast. (I Know) I'm Losing YouThis Motown hit originally recorded by The Temptations in 1966 is a lament of a relationship going bad. Stewart's cover went to number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100. Motown rock group Rare Earth had a cover of this song a year earlier in 1970. Rod Stewart has several members of the Faces playing on this track.That's Alright/Amazing GraceAnother outstanding cover, this one is of the debut single from Elvis Presley in 1954. However, the original goes back to blues singer Arthur Crudup in 1946. But even that long time period is dwarfed by the pairing of the traditional hymn "Amazing Grace" which dates back to 1772. This deep cut shows some of the diversity of the album. Every Picture Tells a StoryThe lead-off and title track to the album was an original co-written by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood. The lyrics are told from the perspective of a musician on tour who finds adventure with women in multiple cities before returning home to think back on his travels. The lyrics are more free-form in this song, not following a consistent pattern of rhymes. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the television comedy "Green Acres"This sit-com featuring city dwellers who move to the country went off the air this month in 1971. STAFF PICKS:Don't Pull Your Love by Hamilton, Joe Frank & ReynoldsBruce starts out the staff picks with a song often attributed to Elvis Presley. After performing with the T-Bones and having an instrumental hit with the song "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" based on a popular jingle from an Alka-Seltzer TV commercial, this group went to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Don't Pull Your Love."It's Too Late by Carole KingLynch brings us a song with music by Carole King and lyrics penned by songwriter Toni Stern. This breakup song is considered to be a feminist song by many, given that the woman is breaking up with the man. Stern completed the lyrics in a single day after her breakup with fellow singer songwriter James Taylor. This track would top the Billboard Hot 100, and would win the Grammy for Record of the Year in 1972.Charity Ball by FannyWayne's staff pick is the single release and title track from Fanny's second studio album. Fanny was one of the first all-female rock bands playing their own instruments, and the first to record an entire album. They got their start in Sacramento after sisters June and Jean Millington (guitar and bass) moved there from the Philippines. The group was completed with Nickey Barclay on keyboards and Alice de Buhr on drums.If Not for You by Olivia Newton JohnRob features a cover originally penned by Bob Dylan. Olivia Newton John would make this her first international release and her breakthrough song. Her cover closely follows George Harrison's cover, including prominent use of the slide guitar. Olivia Newton John took this track to number 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and to number 7 on the UK singles chart. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Milky Way by Weather ReportThis Avant-garde jazz instrumental takes us out of this week's podcast.

In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most common struggles I hear from doctors ready to build their coaching business: being stuck between two niches. Whether you're deciding between your story and your certifications or just unsure what people will actually pay for, this episode is for you.This isn't about picking the “right” niche. It's about understanding what's really holding you back (hint: it's not strategy). It's your belief in your ability to make money outside of medicine. And I want to help you shift that, so you can stop waiting and start selling.If you've been hesitating, second-guessing, or planning to “start small” at $297, this is your permission to start high-ticket now and stop undercharging for your transformation.I talk about:Why feeling torn between two niches is usually a belief issueHow your medical training has conditioned you to second-guess your storyThe truth about beta testing and low-ticket offersThe three reasons doctors are under-earning in their businessesWhy you don't need a clinical niche to be profitableMy proven process for helping you choose your niche and build beliefThe IP to Income Blueprint (and how it helps you sign your first high-ticket client)Inside IPMD, I walk you through building a sticky offer that's infused with demand so people don't just understand it, they want it.

SummaryCan somethings as mundane a publishing be a revolutionary act.

This episode ultimately celebrates the magic inherent in storytelling and its potential to foster understanding and collaboration in an increasingly complex world.The StoryThe dialogue between Bill Cleveland and Lynne Elizabeth unfolds as an exploration of the intricacies of mission-driven publishing.

Space Sims used to be a vibrant and well populated genre. Back in the 90s they command shelf real estate, right next to the latest and greatest RTS and Point and Click Adventure games. Coming at the tail end of this era was Tachyon: The Fringe, released in 2000 by Novalogic games, well known for their regular flight sims and the Delta Force series. You play as Jake Logan, a freelancing mercenary, who quickly gets caught up in the midst of a fight for independence. A megacorporation has been given the legal rights to mine on the Fringe, and you have to decide whether to help them invade and conquer this space for profits, or defend the native population. And you do this all by flying your spaceship round and blowing shit up, as freelancers tend to do. Do its gameplay and story combine into a compelling experience? Has Tachyon the Fringe stood the test of time, and is it worth strapping in to play a space sim? Or did this genre die for a reason?On this episode, we discuss:StoryThe initial presentation of the corporation Galspan and the defending natives, the Bora, seems to lack any kind of nuance. Galspan is fairly obviously evil and the natives are fighting the good fight. Does the dual split narrative reveal a deeper and more compelling story where both sides have a point, or is this a simple tale of good versus evil?Level DesignThe level design of Tachyon is a series of arenas connected by fast travel portals, not a big empty space. This allows you to quickly get to where you need to go, but is there a cost for giving the player such rapid convenience? How immersive does space feel if you barely move through it?CombatTachyon spices up the usual space arcade fighter by adding a strafe/slide function and giving you the ability to shift energy around between your systems. Is this enough to elevate the action combat to brilliant fun, or is it just an endless series of repetitive battles? We answer these questions and many more on the 126th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherTachyon: The Fringe OST: Tom Hays How well did Tachyon: The Fringe's multiplayer work back in its heyday? Does Freelancer really do what Tachyon was trying to do but better? Are there any other space sims that you think are genuinely better than both?

“She doesn't know it yet, but she's hunting us.”How a Virus Spreads Through LanguageThe 2008 Canadian horror film Pontypool, directed by Bruce McDonald and written by Tony Burgess, was inspired by Orson Welles' famous radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. Originally, Burgess envisioned the entire film as a radio play, with the main character Grant Mazzy reading the script accompanied only by a visual of the blue waveform. While this concept wasn't fully realized, it heavily influenced the confined, constrained storyline of the radio station employees trying to make sense of the outbreak consuming their small town. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue the Disease Films series with a conversation about Pontypool.Dissecting the Viral Outbreak in PontypoolOne of the most intriguing aspects of Pontypool is how the horror unfolds through the limited perspective of the radio station employees. As Grant Mazzy, Sydney Briar, and Laurel-Ann Drummond receive increasingly disturbing reports from Ken Loney in the "Sunshine Chopper," the tension builds before the true nature of the viral outbreak is revealed. The film's unique approach to storytelling keeps the audience engaged, even when the explanation for the virus itself may seem a bit far-fetched.Throughout our discussion, we explore the metaphorical implications of a virus that spreads through the English language. As a Canadian film, Pontypool seems to comment on the value of traditionalism and the French language in Ontario, while also critiquing the potentially damaging influence of American shock jock radio. The film's central conceit – that language itself can become contagious and dangerous – resonates even more strongly in today's era of social media and misinformation.Other Highlights from Our ConversationThe wordplay and coincidences in Grant Mazzy's opening monologue, foreshadowing the importance of language in the storyThe debate over whether Grant Mazzy was infected by the virus at the end of the filmThe role of Dr. Mendez as the "book of the vampire," providing exposition and context for the outbreakThe powerful portrayal of Laurel-Ann's deterioration, offering a window into the effects of the virusPontypool may not be a perfect film, but its clever premise and thought-provoking themes make it a worthwhile entry in the Disease Films series. By confining the action to the radio station and relying on reports from outside, the movie creates a sense of claustrophobia and dread that keeps the audience engaged despite the sometimes flimsy explanation for the virus itself.
