Podcasts about stubbornness

Gaz and Joe reflect on another derby defeat, plus pay tribute to Ricky Hatton.

Most empaths and highly sensitive people get labeled as stubborn, but this trait might actually be a superpower. Stubbornness gets reframed from negative to positive, examining how HSPs develop this quality as protection in invalidating environments. Narcissistic parents view stubborn children as threats, creating shame around boundaries and independent thinking. Childhood stubbornness often masks deeper needs like safety that adults miss. Positive stubbornness becomes tenacity, authenticity, and leadership backbone for breaking cycles and maintaining values.

Season 9, Episode 19 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast peels back the workings of a phrase many of us lean on: “That's just how I am.” But what if that's just trauma hiding in emotional armor?Izzy sits down with bestselling author and leading Behavior Change Expert, Karen Salmansohn, the creative brain behind NotSalmon.com a former advertising creative director turned writer who's sold over 2 million books and courses, and whose insights regularly appear on Oprah.com and Psychology Today  Her bold, irreverent style challenges emotional stagnation and invites transformation with tools grounded in psychology, humor, and spiritual insight.In this conversation, they unpack how generational trauma often gets mistaken for personality, how men grow up being told that emotion is weakness, hardening their hearts in the process. Karen's research-backed belief is clear: “Stubbornness is often just trauma in mask form.” And they tackle the flip side, how embracing healing over performance opens the door to real connection. They question: How long will we let unresolved pain dictate our habits? What if “strength” has kept us silent? And how do we dismantle these defaults when growth feels like betrayal?Plus, Karen's newest book, Your To‑Die‑For Life, is highlighted as a wake‑up call to live with meaning—pushing readers to write aspirational eulogies, build “to‑die‑lists,” and let mortality fuel clarity and purpose—not fear.This is for the man who's emotionally overworked, spiritually numb, or just plain tired of playing strong. You can't outgrow what you won't confront—but you can choose to heal. Press play. Then, start living.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Stubbornness is likened to Idolatry in the Bible. Are you a stubborn person?

Is AI truly delivering ROI, or are we just “burning tokens”? In this episode of The Effortless Podcast, Amit Prakash and Dheeraj Pandey unpack the MIT report that sparked debate on AI's real impact and revisit the timeless dilemma of whether to build or buy.They frame the conversation through a pyramid of adoption—from global enterprises with engineering armies, to mid-market firms that buy and configure, to SMBs seeking plug-and-play simplicity. Along the way, they explore the economics of “Supernovas” vs. “Shooting Stars” in AI startups, the integration struggles holding back the mid-market, and the consulting-heavy pitfalls of enterprise “project thinking.”This candid discussion reflects on lessons from the dot-com era, the stubbornness of leaders like Jeff Bezos and Reed Hastings, and why iteration—not initial insight—defines whether AI experiments evolve into durable products.Key Topics & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Framing “Agent Season” and the MIT report02:00 – The ROI Question: Burning tokens or building value?03:00 – Why Iteration Matters More in AI Than Traditional Software04:30 – The Pyramid of Adoption: Enterprises, Mid-Market, SMBs08:00 – SMBs, Plug-and-Play AI, and Startup Archetypes12:00 – Supernovas vs. Shooting Stars: Startup Economics15:00 – Dot-Com Parallels and the Role of Cheap Capital18:00 – Disillusionment and the Stubbornness of Leadership21:00 – Infrastructure and Iteration Speed: Microsoft vs. Google30:00 – Mid-Market Struggles: Integration and Context Problems36:00 – A Warehouse for Work: RAG, Indexing, and Workflows41:00 – The Consulting Trap in Enterprises46:00 – Projects vs. Products: The Cultural Divide51:00 – Internal Apps, Workflows, and the “Build” Mentality53:00 – Adoption, Habits, and the Design Challenge55:00 – Design Partnerships as Lifelines57:00 – Final Reflections on the MIT Report & AI's FutureHosts:Dheeraj Pandey – Co-founder and CEO at DevRev, former Co-founder & CEO of Nutanix.

Text: Exodus 10:1-2Keywords: Pride, Stubbornness, Rebellion

Stubbornness & the God Who Stays Deuteronomy 9:24 — “You have been rebellious against God from the day I knew you.” Breathe in, and feel the solid ground beneath you. Breathe out, and notice where you hold firm inside — jaw, shoulders, belly. Stubbornness can protect what is sacred. It can block growth and close the heart. And sometimes, it's simply a steady presence: the part of you that stays the course. In the wilderness, Israel argued, resisted, refused — and still, God stayed. The Holy One could not let us go. As you breathe, hold this truth: Your willfulness, your chutzpah, even your anger, can be destructive, life-giving, or simply human. And through it all, you are not rejected. You are still beloved. Breathe in: your fire. Breathe out: the God who remains.

Nehemiah 9:7, 15–17 – “You are the Lord God, who chose Abram and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans and named him Abraham. You found his heart faithful to You, and You made a covenant with him to give to his descendants the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites. You have kept Your promise because You are righteous. You gave them bread from heaven when they were hungry and water from the rock when they were thirsty; You told them to go in and take possession of the land You had sworn with uplifted hand to give them. But they, our ancestors, became arrogant and stiff-necked, and they did not obey Your commands. They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles You performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader to return them to their slavery. But You are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore You did not desert them.” In today's devotion, Pastor David Sumrall shows how faithfulness opens the door to God's covenant, while pride and stubbornness lead to spiritual decline. Abraham's obedience brought God's promises to life, but Israel's rebellion led them back toward bondage. Faithfulness is always rewarded; rebellion never is.

This week on Gambling with Good JuJu, we're bringing the brainpower! After 8 months of trial, error, and a whole lot of Python, Juice, Breezy, and show superfan Uncle Justin have taken Elihu Feustel's book Beyond The Odds and built a working sports betting model from scratch.We walk through every step of the journey—from scraping college football data, building a custom pipeline, and coding the answer key logic, to pivoting from college basketball to college football and back again. Then we welcome back Elihu himself to ask the real questions: Did we do it right? Does our distance factor make sense? Are we using junk data? And how the hell do you even determine a go/no-go betting threshold?If you're a sports bettor who's ever dreamed of originating your own numbers or building a model, this episode is your blueprint. And if you just love hearing Juice talk about code like he knows what he's doing… this one's for you too.

Rev 8-9 Stubbornness is a quality that many of see in ourselves, or perhaps in the lives of our family members! Unfortunately, being stubborn often leads to pain and destruction. In this sobering portion of the book of Revelation we see God's judgment being poured out. And yet, people will still refuse to repent in that terrible day! We are currently living during a time of God's mercy. So, as we look at God's judgment on sin, let's thoughtfully consider whether we too are failing to submit to God.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the stubbornness of the St. Louis Cardinals management as it pertained to the bullpen construction this past series in Atlanta. There were guardrails on many relievers in the bullpen, guardrails which individually, we completely agree with being in place. But add it all up, and collectively, it arguably meant the Cardinals should have anticipated that they couldn't afford to carry the exact bullpen construction that they had for the Braves series.We talk about it in depth on this episode of B-Schaeff Daily.Follow this podcast feed for daily Cardinals coverage all year!

Andy, Brenden and Grant discuss the St. Louis Cardinals' loss to the Atlanta Braves from Wednesday afternoon at Truist Park.No matter who Oliver Marmol turned to behind Miles Mikolas, the relievers didn't get the job done on Wednesday unless their name was Kyle Leahy (AKA Kyle EveryDeahy). For everyone else, what did it matter the order Oliver Marmol called upon them? They flat out didn't do the job. So it begs the question, how did the Cardinals get into this spot in the first place?Brenden defends Oli's in-game management while also criticism the overall approach that led to Ryan Fernandez still being with the big club for this series in Atlanta. Stubbornness may have gotten the better of Cardinal management with this one.Download the KTGR app for more segments like this one from the Big Show, airing weekdays from 4 to 6 p.m. Central Time!

Stubbornness Blinds- Rev. Jake Elliott (2.16.25) by Sermons

In a book about hope, why would the first subject be God's judgment in sending people to hell? In this text we learn about evidence of God's righteous judgments that will bring hope to every believer.

Read OnlineThe scribes who had come from Jerusalem said of Jesus, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “By the prince of demons he drives out demons.” Mark 3:22By this time, Jesus was fully engaged in His public ministry. He had healed the sick and lame, cast out many demons, called the Twelve Apostles and given them authority over evil spirits, and preached the Good News to many. Just prior to this Gospel passage, some of Jesus' own extended family had criticized Him, claiming that Jesus was out of His mind. Then the scribes began their public condemnation of our Lord.The scribes were faced with a dilemma. They saw Jesus cast out demons from those who were possessed, so they needed to come up with an explanation. They concluded that Jesus was able to cast out demons by the power of the prince of demons. Jesus goes on to address the scribes' criticism by identifying their condemnation as a sin against the Holy Spirit. Jesus explains that every sin can be forgiven except the sin against the Holy Spirit. He says that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an everlasting sin.” Why is that?In this case, the sin against the Holy Spirit is not only the false condemnation spoken by the scribes against Jesus. First and foremost, their sin is one of obstinacy. They spoke falsely about our Lord, which is a grave sin, but what's worse is that they did so in such a way that they remained firmly grounded in their error. They refused to humble themselves and reconsider their error. And it is this stubbornness that leaves them with an “everlasting sin.”Perhaps the most important lesson we can learn from this passage is that we must avoid remaining stuck in our pride in an obstinate way. We must always be humble and be ready and willing to reexamine our actions. Humility will help us to perpetually remember that we can easily become misled in life. And though this will happen from time to time in various ways, if we remain humble and open to change, then we can always receive the mercy of God and find forgiveness. But if we are prideful and continually refuse to admit our errors, then we are also potentially guilty of a sin against the Holy Spirit.Reflect, today, upon any tendency you have in your life to be stubborn. Stubbornness can be a virtue when the stubbornness is an unwavering commitment to the Gospel and to the will of God. However, you must always intentionally reexamine the path you are on so that you can change when that path begins to deviate from the Truth of God. Humble yourself this day and allow God's voice to lead you back from any errors with which you now struggle.My merciful Jesus, I sin every day and will continue to fail to follow You with perfection. For this reason, I thank You for Your abundant mercy. Please help me to always be open to that mercy by regularly re-examining my decisions in life. Give me humility, dear Lord, to always repent and to turn back to You when I stray. Jesus, I trust in You.  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

In this solocast I talk about the ways stubbornness shows up in our relationships and how detrimental it can be to the flow of connection and harmony. Stubbornness can indeed poison relationships by creating a toxic environment where one or both partners feel the need to always be right, leading to conflicts and a lack of mutual respect. In a relationship, stubbornness can manifest as an inability to admit when one is wrong or to compromise, which can escalate minor issues into major conflicts.
