In this inaugural Weekend Crushers episode of the T4C podcast, Eric Hörst sits down with Aaron Shamy—an inspiring example of what's possible when passion, persistence, and smart training intersect with real life. Aaron's journey spans elite youth climbing in the 1990s, a 15+ year hiatus, and a remarkable comeback culminating in a 5.14c redpoint at age 45. This is more than a comeback story—it's a masterclass in long-term progression. Aaron shares practical training insights, mindset strategies, and real-world tactics that apply to middle-aged climbers and weekend warriors of any age. Here are a few key takeaways from this episode: Long-term consistency beats short-term intensity You can come back stronger—even after years (or decades) away Progress isn't linear—trust that small gains will accumulate and compound Build a system that fits your life, so that you an excel in all the important areas Strength-to-weight matters—but proper fueling matters more Community enhances both performance and enjoyment Climbing longevity is real—with the right mindset and approach I'm confident you'll find this episode both highly informative and deeply inspiring. ⏱️ Key Points & Timestamps 0:15 – Intro & Series Launch 4:05 – Aaron Shamy backstory 7:45 – Life Happens: Family & Hiatus 12:45 – The Comeback Begins (age 38) 15:05 – Rebuilding from Scratch 26:00 – "Flight of the Conchords" Project and the Pyramid Strategy 33:00 – The Days, Weeks, Months Projecting "Flight"... 36:00 – Training and Non-Linear Progress 38:30 – Nutrition & Weight Loss Transformation 44:00 – Aaron's 3 Keys to Success 46:10 – Community & Support System 48:20 – What's Next? 54:15 - Final Takeaways & Key Points ⭐ Enjoy the podcast?

Most people overlook one crucial detail: training for strength or hypertrophy isn't just about lifting heavier or doing more reps — it's about understanding which goal aligns with your long-term vision—and how to program effectively for it. This episode reveals the unseen differences between building muscle and gaining strength, plus the energy systems that power your progress, so you can avoid the common pitfalls that stall results and cause injuries. Jerred and Dave dive deep into their personal journeys with strength and hypertrophy, breaking down how your unique starting point and goals should shape your training. Want to learn why high volume and diet are essential for hypertrophy, but might sabotage your strength gains? Curious about how to measure real progress—beyond just the weight on the bar or the mirror? Discover science-backed insights and practical frameworks that make sense of concepts like 10-15 reps for muscle growth or how to better track strength improvements through video or frequency testing.

Episode 3371: Jessi Kneeland reframes strength training as a pursuit of fleeting but transformative “money reps,” where pushing past perceived limits creates moments of clarity, power, and self-reinvention. She shows how these intense seconds of effort can reshape identity, turning workouts into a deeply personal practice of courage, presence, and self-love. Listen to experience how chasing those brief flashes of “eternal glory” can change not just your body, but who you believe yourself to be. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.jessikneeland.com/post/lift-weights-chase-eternal-glory Quotes to ponder: "Every workout, I am essentially chasing 3 to 5 seconds of absolute, soul-changing glory." "It is exactly that moment, as the barbell is slowing down and I'm not sure if I can make it, that holds within it the eternal glory I'm chasing." "I imagine how different society would be if everyone lifted weights as a means to authentic autonomous empowerment, instead of just a way to look hot." Learn more about your ad choices.

There's a difference between lifting weight… and being shaped by it.In this episode of ALLSMITH, Bryce sits down with Mike Cerbus, a former Team USA high level weightlifter and lead coach with Power Monkey Fitness, for a conversation that moves far beyond sets and reps. This is about the quiet work. The unseen reps. The slow burn of exploration and mastery that most people never stay around long enough to feel.Mike's journey takes us from the early curiosity of discovering himself through football and the barbell… to the intensity of competing on the national stage and representing Team USA… and into the deeper, more meaningful path of coaching, teaching, and service.Somewhere along the way, the question shifts.From how strong can I get…to what is this making me become?This conversation explores movement as a language… training as a mirror… and strength as a lifelong practice rooted in patience, connection, and awareness.Because in a world chasing faster, louder, and more…Mike is a reminder that better is built slowly.And if you stay with it… it will change you.⸻Support the Show + Join the MovementIf this conversation resonates, there's a place for you inside ALLSMITH.• Train with us in person or remotely through ALLSMITH Coaching• Explore our apparel and wear the mindset at www.allsmith.co• Step into our community, events, and experiencesSubscribe to ALLSMITH on YouTube, Apple, and Spotify.Follow @therealbrycesmith and @allsmithco for more.This is more than fitness.This is a way of living.⸻Quotes“Strength isn't something you find… it's something you build, slowly, over time.”“The barbell will always tell you the truth… the question is, are you willing to listen?”“Most people are chasing outcomes… very few are committed to the process.”“Coaching isn't about fixing people… it's about helping them see what's already there.”“If it's not sustainable, it's not success.”“You don't just train the body… you shape the person.”“Movement is one of the purest forms of self-expression we have.”“The goal isn't just to lift more… it's to live better.”⸻Timestamps00:00 Opening Thoughts and Entering the Practice02:15 Mike's Early Days and Finding the Barbell07:40 Falling in Love with the Process12:30 The Climb into National Competition18:10 Lessons from Setbacks and Missed Lifts23:45 Representing Team USA and the Reality of Elite Sport29:30 Winning, Pressure, and Identity35:20 The Turning Point and Evolving Beyond Competition41:10 Stepping Into Coaching and Teaching47:25 What Most Athletes Get Wrong53:40 Power Monkey Fitness and Global Coaching59:10 Movement as a Lifelong Practice1:05:20 Building Connection Through Training1:11:00 The Future of Fitness and Human Performance1:16:45 What Mastery Actually Feels Like1:20:00 Closing Reflections⸻Strength is not built in the spotlight.It's built in the quiet moments…the early mornings…the missed lifts…the decision to come back again.This conversation is a reminder that the work is never just physical.It's personal.And if you stay long enough…what you're building isn't just strength.It's a life.Thank you for Listening!

We're so excited to bring you another episode in our Cesarean Awareness Month series! This one was highly requested in our VBAC Link Facebook Community and we can't wait for you to hear Catherine's stories. Today's topic is all about BREECH, one of the most common reasons for cesareans. Catherine, a mom of four with a bicornuate uterus, shares her four births: a scheduled breech cesarean, a precipitous head-down HBAC, a breech CBAC, and a planned breech HBA2C that ended in a hospital transfer for a CBA2C but with a surprise breech VBA2C on the OR table!Catherine opens up about how communication can shape a birth experience just as much as the outcome, and how even intended healing experiences can have traumatic pieces to them. She shares her passion for informed breech birth, patient advocacy, consent, midwifery care, and navigating both in-hospital and out-of-hospitalbirth settings, along with the importance of emotional processing and support.Her message is a strong reminder not to settle, Women of Strength! When you understand your options, trust your body, and advocate for the care you deserve, you can move through birth feeling informed and empowered, even when things don't go as planned.Breech Without BordersThe VBAC Link Blog: The 5 Most Common Reasons for C-sectionThe VBAC Link Blog: ECV and VBACNeeded Website: Code VBAC for 20% OffThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

That voice will show up. “Just give up.” In this episode, David shares a real, honest moment from a sleepless night filled with worry—and the familiar whisper that tries to convince us to quit. Whether it's in the middle of a long run or a difficult season of life, the battle is often not physical—it's mental. Drawing on years of ultrarunning experience, this episode breaks down: Why that voice sounds so reasonable How it shows up in both running and life What happens when we start agreeing with it And how to push forward even when you don't feel strong Anchored by a quote from Babe Ruth: “It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.” This is a reminder that you don't have to eliminate the voice—you just have to stop listening to it. Key Takeaways The urge to quit usually starts as a quiet, reasonable thought Mental endurance matters more than physical strength You don't need motivation to keep going—you need a decision Strength often shows up after you take the next step Refusing to quit builds resilience in running and life Quotes from this Episode “The race is not against the distance. It's against that voice.” “You don't win by feeling strong. You win by deciding not to quit.” “Don't agree with the voice.” “Take one more step.” Resources & Links Website: https://www.theriot.run Coaching: https://www.theriot.run/coaching-services/ If this encouraged you, share it with a friend, training partner, or someone going through a tough season. Final Thought You don't need to have it all figured out today. Just don't agree with the voice. Take one more step.

Jennie Garth is here! The way 90210 defined my childhood…this was more than nostalgic. We get into her new memoir I Choose Me and why she finally felt ready to share this version of herself. We go deep on 90210, from landing the role of Kelly Taylor, what that level of fame actually felt like, becoming a mom while filming, and how real life mirrored the drama on screen. She opens up about her surprising real first love, losing 2 cast members, her struggles with anxiety and depression before anyone was talking about it, and what rock bottom and recovery looked like. We also talk the mindset shifts that helped her find clarity and actually choose herself.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Good news! We've got some answers on the real science of muscle memory. You're not starting over and you didn't wreck it all again! You took some time off…and it's O.K.If you've ever said ‘I'm back to square one' after time off…this episode is going to change the way you see your body forever. What if we told you your body never actually forgets the work you've done? Would you believe us? In today's episode, we explain why “starting again” isn't necessary and how your body will adapt quickly. You don't need to make up for lost time, so stop punishing yourself for the gap. Your progress isn't erased. And no past workout was a waste of time. Your body didn't forget you.

From stage four cancer survival to rebuilding identity, purpose, and execution under extreme pressure, my guest Carlos Perez has dedicated his life to one mission: helping people recover clarity and strength after crisis. In this episode, I talk with Carlos about how he rebuilt his life after multiple cancer diagnoses and transplants, and how he now teaches professionals to regain focus, emotional control, and direction when life feels uncertain. We also explore what most high performers get wrong about adversity—how they stay stuck in survival mode long after the crisis is over, why avoiding discomfort delays real healing, and how small daily actions can steadily rebuild identity and confidence over time. https://youtu.be/I1CfVapQw0s?si=yAIqcQb1bPZ5XKcz Carlos breaks down the difference between surviving and truly rebuilding, why emotional strength matters more than motivation, and how clarity often comes from facing discomfort instead of avoiding it. You'll hear how he went from hospital recovery beds to becoming a “rebuild architect,” how speaking and coaching became part of his healing journey, and why helping others became his new mission. We also talk about fear, procrastination, and how simple actions like writing one page, having one conversation, or taking one step forward can completely change the direction of a life. Quotes: Don't wait for tomorrow. The time is now. You are stronger than you think.” “You can either drown in your problems or break them down one by one.” “Strength is already inside you—you just have to use it.” Resources: Carlos Perez speaks Carlos Perez on Linkedin

From Navy SEALs and top‑ranked wrestlers to desk‑bound professionals in constant pain, my guest Master Phil Ross has spent his career on one mission: fix what most fitness programs miss—your back, shoulders, and “hidden core.” In this episode, I talk with Phil about how he helps people avoid unnecessary surgery, rebuild strength after injury, and stay mobile and powerful well into their 70s and beyond. We get into what most people get wrong about back pain, why devices and quick fixes rarely solve the root issue, and how deep support muscles like the multifidus, erector spinae, and transverse abdominis actually protect your spine. Phil breaks down the difference between flexibility and mobility, why your “cylinder of power” matters more than visible abs, and how five to ten minutes a day can radically shift your back and shoulder health. https://youtu.be/wpfsq-NOVZs?si=jwIvnsF9qCocd6o1 You'll hear how Phil's “Get Off Your Back” and Body Bell Method programs help everyone from high school wrestlers to Special Forces operators stay strong and pain free, why his elite wrestling team has zero shoulder harnesses while competitors are taped up, and how a 75‑year‑old client now performs weighted Turkish get‑ups. We also talk about motivation, removing the “dread factor” from workouts, and how to reframe exercise as small, fun “exercise snacks” that fit into a busy day. Quotes: “People say they don't have time to train, but you only have one body. When you take care of your body, your mind and your spirit follow.” “You don't need a pill, a stimulation device, or a quick fix. Strength, mobility, and proper alignment are your first line of defense.” “Shoulda, woulda, coulda don't add up to one little word: did. Now it's your time to do it.” Resources: Phil Ross on Linkedin philross.com

☎️ Schedule a Business Evaluation Call with The Construction Leading Edge Team HERE:  EPISODE 440: Andy Kolp had clients, projects, and a reputation worth protecting. He also had gaps in his process — vague scope, trade bids coming in by text with no context, and jobs where the client ended up running the show. The projects finished. The clients were happy. But Epic Building Company had bent more than it should have. So Andy set a goal for 2025: operate from a position of strength. In this episode of The Construction Leading Edge Podcast, Todd sits down with Andy Kolp, owner of Epic Building Company in Columbus, Ohio, to break down what it actually looks like to tighten up every phase of your construction business — from pre-construction through closeout. Andy shares how he overhauled his scope development and trade bid process, why fixed-price contracts require more upfront work but protect everyone in the end, and how a simple weekly client update called the Epic Weekly Rundown nearly eliminated weekend calls and client surprises entirely.

This podcast episode explores divine mercy, compassion, and transformation through Lord Chaitanya's teachings and the story of two sinful brothers, Jagai and Madhai. We challenge the notion that love must be earned, emphasising that divine love is unconditional and independent of human merit. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, Chaitanya Bhagavata, personal experiences, and recovery programs, we illustrate how sincere surrender enables profound redemption. The discussion highlights compassion as genuine strength, encourages meeting hatred with mercy, and affirms that no one is beyond transformation through authentic repentance and God's boundless grace.(00:01) - Unconditional Divine Love(07:54) - Compassion as Strength, Not Weakness(12:53) - Justice Interrupted by Compassion(13:57) - Meeting Hatred with Mercy(20:06) - Practical Compassion and Support(22:33) - Redemption Through Surrender(26:08) - Sincere Repentance and Accountability(29:11) - Transformation Through SincerityWant to connect further?Instagram: www.instagram.com/radhika_dasa/Facebook: www.facebook.com/radhikadasmusicYouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RadhikaDasWebsite: www.radhikadas.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/radhikadasLinktree: linktr.ee/radhika_dasa

Life is filled with firsts—moments we don't feel ready for, yet God calls us into them anyway. These are the moments that shape us—conversations we didn't script, decisions we can't delay and pressures that stretch us beyond our capacity. In John 16, Jesus doesn't prepare His disciples for easy moments, but for defining ones—calling them beyond comfort into calling. And He anchors them in this promise: when the moment comes, you will not face it alone—the Spirit will be present and powerful. You are not unprepared—you are being prepared. And when your moment comes, the Spirit will give you strength for it.

In Nature We Trust: The Blueprint for Lifelong Energy, Strength & Disease-Free Living with Axay Shah What if aging didn't mean slowing down—but leveling up? In this powerful episode of The Hurricane H Show, we sit down with Axay Shah, also known as the Raw Food Guru, to explore what it truly means to take control of your health, energy, and longevity. At 67 years young and fresh off completing his 8th marathon, Axay shares his 16-year journey of living a 100% plant-based raw food lifestyle—backed by over two decades of documented medical records showing zero chronic disease, zero medications, and optimal health markers. We dive into his philosophy that chronic illness stems from energy system dysfunction, and how aligning with nature can restore balance, clarity, and strength. His upcoming book In Nature We Trust is not just a personal story—it's a blueprint for reclaiming vitality and reversing the narrative around aging. If you're ready to challenge what you've been told about health and unlock your full potential, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Strength In Weakness: A series through 1 & 2 Samuel 2 Samuel 23

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260419dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion “God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.. . . Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.” Acts 2:32,36 Christ Lives to Reign King Cyrus of Persia, King David of Judah, Caesar Augustus of Rome—these are three of the countless people who have ruled nations and empires over the centuries. Some kings and kingdoms lasted for generations, while others were short-lived. As different as they were from each other, they all had one thing in common—they did not last. How uncertain life would be if all we had to lean on were these passing kings and kingdoms. Our immortal souls need something more. How eagerly, then, we listen to the words of the apostle Peter. He tells us of a far greater King. This King is the Lord Jesus Christ. Peter tells us of a far greater kingdom. Jesus’ kingdom will last for eternity. It didn’t always seem this way, though. Jesus’ enemies plotted for years to kill Jesus. Finally, they carried out their plans and crucified him. He didn’t seem like a king whose kingdom would last for eternity. But then came Easter. Jesus’ disciples ran to an empty grave. He had risen. He was still King, and his kingdom was still intact. Today, let Peter’s words give you strength. Be assured of this: your King lives to reign. He is the Lord of your heart. He is your eternal source of forgiveness and hope. Prayer: Lord Jesus, by your resurrection from the dead you proved that you are my Savior and Lord. May your sure promises of forgiveness and life not only lead me to trust in you but also to live for you. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

Robin Ritch has spent her career building things that matter. She has led teams at Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco, and most recently served as President and Publisher of Deseret News Publishing Company, where she helped transform a 172-year-old institution into a nationally recognized digital voice. Throughout her career, Robin has had a knack for seeing around corners. She has launched new products, modernized organizations, and brought together unlikely communities around conversations that matter. She gives back through board service at The Policy Project, WikiCharities, Social Venture Partners, and Mission Edge, organizations working to make communities stronger. For as long as she can remember, Robin has been fascinated by women and their relationship with God. That lifelong curiosity is what led her to write “Using Friction to Grow”, her first book. Robin examines case studies of Latter-day Saint women who navigated significant social and ecclesiastical changes during the 1970s. She discusses how these women managed friction from society, family, and the Church to develop deeper discipleship and personal sanctification. Links Using Friction to Grow: Stories of Strength and Resilience, LDS Women 1968-1976 Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Key Insights The Purpose of Friction: Friction is a divine design intended to slow individuals down, allowing them to refine their relationship with God and smooth away “rough edges” of character. Personal vs. Organizational Revelation: Individuals may receive personal revelation for their own lives that precedes broader organizational shifts within the Church. Historical Resilience: Women in the 1970s drew strength from the stories of their suffragette grandmothers, recognizing that navigating tension within a faith community is not a new phenomenon. Individual Agency and Revelation: The women Robin interviewed did not view Church counsel as a reason to stop their personal progression; instead, they used it as a prompt to seek their own confirmed answers through prayer and fasting. Grace for Diverse Paths: These women practiced deep empathy, recognizing that God provides unique answers for different individuals and that one person’s path does not dictate the “correct” path for everyone else. Leadership Applications Validating the Struggle: Leaders can help members understand that feeling “friction” with a policy or teaching is not a sign of unworthiness but an opportunity for a sanctifying “wrestle” with God. Managing Implementation: Recognizing the gap between revelation and organizational implementation helps leaders be more patient with institutional changes and more supportive of members who see needs before the organization adapts. 00:02:00 – Robin’s Book: Using Friction to Grow 00:03:00 – The Importance of Women’s Stories 00:04:00 – The 1970s: A Time of Friction for Women 00:06:00 – The Equal Rights Amendment and Church Response 00:07:00 – Personal Stories of Friction and Faith 00:09:00 – Navigating Friction in Faith Communities 00:10:00 – The Role of Personal Revelation 00:12:00 – The Nature of Friction in Growth 00:13:00 – Engaging with Friction for Personal Growth 00:15:00 – The Evolution of Church Practices 00:17:00 – The Importance of Change and Growth 00:18:00 – Balancing Hope and Disappointment in Faith 00:20:00 – The Role of Friction in Personal Development 00:21:00 – Story of a Woman’s Experience with Church Leadership 00:24:00 – Finding Strength in Christ Amidst Friction 00:25:00 – The Impact of Personal Stories 00:27:00 – The Need for Women’s Voices in the Church 00:29:00 – Encouragement for Women in Parenting 00:30:00 – Broadening Engagement Beyond Parenting 00:32:00 – The Importance of Sharing Light 00:33:00 – The Role of Leaders in Navigating Friction 00:37:00 – Understanding Different Perspectives 00:40:00 – The Influence of Social Media on Women’s Stories 00:41:00 – The Responsibility of the Hearer in Storytelling The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

Mark—a marathoner and a dedicated pastor who served two churches over the span of thirty-five years—recently retired. One gift presented to him was a pair of new running shoes. I ran with Mark once over twenty years ago, but throughout his life, he’s run the 26.2-mile race in numerous cities across the country. At his retirement celebration, people from the community and the churches he served also expressed their appreciation for Mark’s faithfulness. Because of God’s power and grace, Mark finished well. Life’s more like a marathon than a sprint. At times we experience fatigue and we feel like giving up. Yet God’s grace and strength are unending for those who trust Him. As the imprisoned apostle Paul neared the finish line of life (2 Timothy 4:6), he encouraged his protégé Timothy, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (v. 7). Life’s paths take us to different places. But regardless of where we are on life’s journey, it’s always good to remember that faith-filled endurance is essential and rewarding (v. 8); that God is the source of our strength (v. 17); and that, by His grace, he “will bring [us] safely to his heavenly kingdom” (v. 18).

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. In this episode, Strength From Within

1 Hour of Strength Training Per Week Adds 13 YEARS to Your Life (Plus Live Coaching Calls) What if we told you that just ONE HOUR per week could add 13 years to your life? Yeah... you read that right. In this episode, we break down the insane ROI of strength training for longevity — and why nothing else even comes close. We're talking about the data that shows a 17% increase in life expectancy from minimal resistance training, why muscle and strength are better predictors of longevity than body fat, and exactly what a perfect minimalist longevity routine looks like. But that's not all... we go DEEP on current events including the wild AI hype bubble, some truly bizarre news about a government official's husband, UFO disclosure timelines, and even the dinosaur conspiracy rabbit hole. Plus we share some legendary Jack LaLanne stories that will blow your mind. Then we get into live coaching calls where we help a 57-year-old woman with osteopenia understand exactly how to build bone density (hint: it's NOT what her doctor told her), coach a former elite karate athlete dealing with chronic bloating and stress, support a 66-year-old woman who lost her retirement fund to fraud but refuses to give up, and help a new mom navigate cutting calories without losing her mind. This one's packed with real, actionable coaching you can apply TODAY.

Most men today are being quietly conditioned to break. They're raised in environments that reward niceness over strength, validation over resilience, and comfort over growth. This show exists to push back. We believe masculinity isn't a problem to be solved; it's a force to be developed. Every week we sit down with the men and thinkers who are doing the hard work of building themselves (physically, emotionally, and mentally) so they can stand between their families and destruction and not flinch. Today's conversation cuts straight to the core of what it means to be a man who doesn't just endure hardship but actually gets stronger because of it. We're talking about antifragility - the idea that the right stressors don't weaken you, they forge you. If you've been told your whole life to be softer, more agreeable, and easier to be around, this episode is going to challenge everything you think you know about strength. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Introduction & anti-fragility discussion begins 01:11 - Fragility vs respect in modern masculinity 02:11 - Impact of single-parent households & upbringing 03:26 - Male role models missing in education 05:07 - Women shaping male identity 06:05 - Dating dynamics & "the ick" 07:12 - Strength as a core masculine trait 08:24 - Misunderstanding between men and women 10:37 - Why we shouldn't fully "understand" the opposite sex 11:58 - What men want in relationships 13:05 - Complementary roles of men and women 15:14 - Stay-at-home dynamics & gender roles 16:40 - Personal story: role reversal realization 18:04 - Cultural narratives about masculinity 19:01 - What male caregiving actually looks like 20:34 - Tough love vs emotional softness in parenting 23:30 - Bike analogy: masculine vs feminine parenting 25:03 - Teaching resilience through experience 27:54 - Conflicting expectations of modern men 28:25 - Masculine vs feminine virtues hierarchy 29:55 - Red pill vs feminism comparison 32:23 - Nice vs kind distinction 33:32 - Capability vs harmlessness 35:21 - Who's more dangerous: men or women? 37:02 - Masculinity's role in building society 39:24 - Women adapting due to weak men 41:14 - Real-world example: security vs "nice guy" 42:38 - Dangerous men who are calm and controlled 44:34 - Why men shouldn't share everything 47:13 - A man's role as protector/filter of chaos 48:16 - Definition of an anti-fragile man 49:42 - Anti-fragility explained (Taleb concept) 52:11 - Core definition of masculinity (teaser clip) 52:54 - Time under tension analogy 53:50 - Tactical application of stress 57:22 - Proper use of anger 59:54 - Where to find Sidney & his books Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
