In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Lee Priest at the iconic Gold's Gym in Venice California, to unpack the real foundations of bodybuilding: hard training, simple nutrition, and ruthless consistency. Lee shares what his actual contest prep looked like (including the cycles people still argue about), why modern bodybuilding often looks "softer," and the intensity mindset most lifters have lost. We also go deeper on focus, distraction, and why phones are quietly destroying training quality, and even life quality. If you're serious about building muscle, staying powerful as you age, and cutting through the noise, this one delivers.   5 Bullet Points: Lee's real contest-prep cycle, explained simply Why "more gear" often makes you worse Old school training principles that still win The intensity mindset most lifters avoid Phones, distraction, and lost training quality   About Ben Ben Pakulski is the Chief Performance Officer to elite executives, successful entrepreneurs, and top athletes.With over 25 years of experience, he coaches high achievers to build the physical, psychological, and metabolic resilience required to lead at the highest level.

I dive into the works of Dostoyevsky, Nietzsche, and Kant to share five psychological pillars that will help you build inner sovereignty and resilience. We explore why rejecting modern victimhood in favor of radical responsibility is the only path to true psychological maturity. I also explain why a harmless man is not a good man, discussing the necessity of integrating your aggression and choosing meaningful suffering over empty comfort.

  Have you ever felt like love costs you your voice, your energy, or your peace—and wondered if that's just “the Christian way”?   In this teaching, we address why so many believers feel confused about love and how that confusion leads to self-abandonment, burnout, people-pleasing, and misplaced loyalty. We'll unpack the difference between dying to self and letting your light shine, how to receive God's love instead of just knowing about it, and how to end self-sabotage by stewarding love with wisdom and discernment.   This isn't about becoming selfish. It's about becoming aligned.   ✨ Ready to go deeper? If this message resonated, I want to invite you into two next steps:  

What if the antidote to burnout lives in the space between a greeting, a shared meal, and a slower walk home? After six months in Jalapa, Veracruz, I came back with a clearer picture of how daily rituals of rest, presence, and kindness work like medicine. I share what Mexico taught me about societal nourishment: why the mañana mindset protects what matters, how simple courtesies build a strong collective nervous system, and why connection changes how your body digests, heals, and holds energy.To ground these ideas, I walk through three free live webinars designed to meet you where you are. We start with Detox Culture Versus Real Cleansing, a clear plan for supporting natural detox pathways without depletion, with simple recipes and routines you can sustain. Next, Not Sick But Not Fine Either breaks down early metabolic shifts in labs like glucose and triglycerides, offering actionable steps to stabilize your numbers before symptoms escalate. Finally, Nourishing Recovery focuses on what to eat after chemo or surgery to rebuild strength, calm inflammation, and restore digestion with care.If you're ready for a year guided by belonging and biology, this conversation offers both perspective and tools. Listen, share it with a friend who needs a gentler path, and join the webinars.

In this episode, I'm sharing a personal reflection inspired by turning 50 — and a powerful shift I'm making in how I approach movement, work, and rest.For most of my life, I believed that pushing harder was the key to better results. More workouts. More productivity. Less rest. But as I've moved into midlife, my body has been asking for something different — and science backs it up.We'll talk about:Why constant high-intensity exercise and overworking can elevate cortisolHow rest days support muscle repair, energy stores, and metabolic healthThe often-overlooked mental and nervous system benefits of true recoveryWhat “rest” can actually look like if you're someone who always feels the need to be doing somethingThis episode is an invitation to rethink rest — not as laziness or loss of momentum, but as a strategic, nourishing part of long-term health and vitality.If you're feeling tired, stuck, or frustrated with what “used to work,” this conversation is for you.Follow Carrie on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrive.with.carrie/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/carrie.o.chojnowskiVisit https://thrivewithcarrie.com/ to book a free Solutions Session!See you next time!Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is for entertainment and educational purposes only and is not intended to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Your health coaching business might feel hard right now because you're trying to convince people that they need a health coach instead of filling an existing need they're already looking for help with. In this episode, I share what a trip to Drybar taught me about getting clients effortlessly. Spoiler: it has everything to do with solving problems people are already willing to pay for. We talk about: Why Drybar doesn't apologize for only doing blowouts How to become a "category of one" in your health coaching business The difference between what people want (a blowout, pre-pregnancy jeans that fit) vs. what we're selling (health coaching) Why working with clients NOW is the fastest way to figure out your niche If you're tired of convincing people they need you, this episode will show you how to position yourself so clients come to you ready and excited.

In this episode, I'm sharing a story I didn't plan to tell but one that stayed with me long after it happened. What started as an offhand comment from my daughter slowly became a quiet pull I couldn't ignore. A group of monks walking across the country for peace kept showing up in my awareness—through conversation, social media, and intuition—until I finally paid attention. I followed that nudge to a small county courthouse near my home, where I found myself standing among strangers, watching monks sit peacefully under a magnolia tree, completely unbothered by noise, cameras, or crowds. What unfolded there was subtle, sacred, and unexpectedly emotional. Today I want to share the message I heard from the monks—one rooted in compassion, forgiveness, focus, and the idea that peace isn't something we wait for… it's something we practice. This isn't an episode about religion. It's about awareness. Presence. And what can happen when we slow down long enough to notice what's being placed in our path.Peace be with you. I love you, and I'll see you next Thursday. Julie

They want you to be passive and quiet. But history tells a different story. We're joined by award-winning comic creator Ben Passmore, author of Black Arms to Hold You Up: A History of Black Resistance, to dig into the stories that history books, and Hollywood, whitewash: De-sanitizing Resistance: We discuss how films and media often strip away the political intellect of figures like the Black Liberation Army, reducing revolutionary struggle to nihilism. Community as Armor: Ben puts the focus on true resistance as mutual aid. From the Jane Collective organizing healthcare, to prisoners organizing even from solitary confinement, the most radical act is building a culture of care. The Trap of Online Activism: In an age of surveillance capitalism, Ben warns that we must move beyond the "power fantasy" of social media. Real solidarity happens offline, face-to-face, building trust that algorithms can't suppress. As MAGA's Supreme Leader expands the surveillance state through Peter Thiel's Big Brother Palantir and unleashes a KKK gestapo through ICE, we must learn from unfiltered history and understand what it actually takes to survive. January 15th is the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. The Civil Rights movement ushered in the Third American Revolution, defeating the authoritarianism of Jim Crow, which John Roberts' Supreme Court is bringing back. Listen to our episode on Stride Toward Freedom, the memoir by a young MLK Jr. after he captured the world's attention leading the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Most agencies have a communications plan — until the plan becomes the incident. In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, host Jim Dudley digs into a reality many departments don't fully plan for: what happens when cellular networks overload, land mobile radio coverage breaks down and agencies struggle to communicate at the very moment demand is highest. Jim is joined by LAPD Commander Randy Goddard, the acting commanding officer and chief information officer for the department's Information Technology Bureau. Goddard also served as an incident commander during the Palisades fire and will lead LAPD's Incident Management Team 1 for upcoming global events, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. He explains what unified command looked like when key systems failed, why “coverage” is not the same as “capacity,” and what redundancy and manual backups need to look like in modern policing. Commander Goddard is a featured contributor to Police1's “26 on 2026: A police leadership playbook.” Download your copy here.

What if everything you thought about success and happiness was missing one crucial element? For Larry Kesslin, the answer came during a life-changing trip to rural villages in Africa in 2012.

While many leaders continue to debate adoption, Zoey demonstrates what natural, creative, and fearless AI usage actually looks like in practice—from homework support and music creation to writing and designing her own book.    Highlights include:  Reframe AI as an assistant—not a replacement—and how “the gap isn't about access; it's about adoption.”     How Zoey uses AI today to support learning, artwork, writing, music, and content creation.   Connecting real-world examples to practical applications for professionals and business leaders, emphasizing that the future belongs to those willing to start small, ask better prompts, and simply try. Zoey's perspective of, “AI is not scary—it gives you more freedom to be creative and see your ideas come to life.” The next generation isn't asking if AI will replace jobs—they're asking, “What can I create?”   Become a Patreon member and visit AppMeetup.com to learn more about our learning and development resources.

Most men don't struggle because they're weak. They struggle because they've been carrying too much ... alone ... for too long. In this episode of REBUILT, Michael-David speaks directly to the silent weight so many men carry but rarely name. From childhood conditioning to unspoken expectations of strength, this conversation unpacks how men learn to suppress emotion, isolate, and believe that suffering quietly is simply “part of being a man.” Through deeply personal stories, real psychological insight, and Scripture grounded in compassion, not shame, this episode brings clarity to what many men are experiencing but don't know how to explain. Anxiety, emotional numbness, irritability, control, isolation, low desire, racing thoughts, chest pressure, and feeling overwhelmed are not character flaws. They are signs of an exhausted nervous system and a man who was never taught how to put the weight down. Michael-David shares his own journey through childhood emotional silencing, shame around therapy, breaking under the weight of divorce, and how God met him in the rubble—not after he fixed himself, but right in the middle of his pain. He also explores the power of brotherhood, why safe connection is essential for men's mental health, and how healing often comes not through isolation, but through men standing shoulder to shoulder. This episode challenges common misconceptions like “God only gives His toughest battles to His strongest soldiers,” offering a more truthful, grace-centered perspective rooted in Scripture and lived experience.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. TX Sen. Ted Cruz Joins the Show! Clay highlights encouraging data showing core inflation dropping to 2.6%, its lowest level since March 2021. The hosts explain why this trend signals progress toward the Federal Reserve’s 2% target and could lead to lower interest rates in 2026. They also discuss affordability challenges and debate proposals like capping credit card interest rates at 10%, with Senator Ted Cruz joining the show to warn about unintended consequences that could hurt low-income Americans by restricting access to credit. The hour concludes with a deep dive into Iran’s escalating protests against the Ayatollah’s regime, featuring an extended interview with Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz calls the uprising a potential “Berlin Wall moment,” predicting the Islamic theocracy could collapse within weeks following its humiliating defeat in the recent 12-day war with Israel. He praises President Trump’s strong stance in support of Iranian freedom and outlines strategies ranging from cyber operations to limited kinetic strikes against regime forces, while stressing the importance of keeping the revolution authentically Iranian. Cruz also reveals that Elon Musk has activated Starlink over Iran to help protesters bypass government censorship, underscoring the role of technology in modern resistance movements. Buck's Crazy Credit Card Story From cultural flashpoints, the discussion moves to economic policy and affordability, spotlighting Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. Clay questions whether a president can legally impose such a cap, while Buck recalls predatory practices like shifting due dates and punitive APR hikes that previously triggered regulatory crackdowns. Senator Ted Cruz warns that such caps could backfire by restricting credit access for high-risk borrowers, pushing them toward payday lenders or worse. Listener calls enrich the debate: one caller warns that temporary caps could encourage larger balances only to reset at 20% later, echoing pitfalls of adjustable-rate mortgages; another shares a teachable moment with her grandson about compound interest and minimum payments, underscoring the need for financial literacy in schools. Clay contextualizes Trump’s move as part of a broader populist strategy to address affordability concerns heading into the 2026 midterms, alongside proposals to curb institutional home purchases. Financial Literacy Isn't Taught at School The hour opens with a candid discussion on financial literacy and mortgage realities, as Clay explains how most homeowners misunderstand amortization tables. For the first decade of a 30-year mortgage, nearly all payments go toward interest rather than principal, leaving many Americans unaware of how little equity they build early on. The hosts argue that schools fail to teach essential financial skills—such as understanding compound interest, credit card debt, and mortgage structures—leaving consumers vulnerable to predatory practices. This ties into their broader critique of systemic financial inequities and the need for transparency in lending. The conversation then shifts to Trump’s economic agenda, highlighted by his speech at the Detroit Economic Club. Clay and Buck analyze Trump’s populist proposals, including a one-year cap on credit card interest rates at 10% and restrictions on institutional investors buying single-family homes. They debate the feasibility and impact of these measures, noting that while Trump’s plan may face legal hurdles, it resonates politically by addressing affordability concerns. Buck shares personal anecdotes about credit card companies’ predatory tactics, reinforcing why Trump’s stance on consumer protection is striking a chord with voters. The hosts also explore how housing shortages are exacerbated by illegal immigration and corporate ownership of residential properties, driving up prices and squeezing middle-class families. SCOTUS Trans Athlete Arguments From economics, the hour pivots to a landmark Supreme Court case on transgender athletes in women’s sports, featuring an interview with Jennifer Sey, founder of XX-XY Athletics and former Levi’s executive. Sey, who spoke at a rally on the steps of the Supreme Court alongside Riley Gaines, calls the case a fight for reality and fairness, arguing that Title IX was designed to protect female athletes based on biological sex—not gender identity. She warns that allowing males to compete in women’s sports undermines decades of progress and discourages girls from participating. Sey predicts that even if the Court rules 6–3 in favor of states like West Virginia and Idaho, progressive states will double down on policies permitting biological males in female sports, framing the issue as a cultural battle that must be fought beyond the courtroom. Clay and Buck echo her concerns, blasting terms like “cisgender” and “trans girls” as linguistic fictions that normalize gender ideology at the expense of women’s rights.

What started as a COVID pivot turned into nearly 300 episodes, a million downloads, and the biggest personal evolution of Jennifer Jefferies' career. In this raw reflection, Jen shares what creating Healthy Life Hacks taught her - about discipline, storytelling, human behaviour, stress, and the truth women over 40 actually need to hear. This episode pulls back the curtain on how a “hack” podcast became a global community and a catalyst for Jen stepping fully into her Wise Woman era. Jennifer Jefferies started the Healthy Life Hacks podcast in August 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic was unfolding.

It forced her to stay true to herself, grow creatively and professionally, and sharpen her ability to teach in a simple, succinct way.Through the podcast, Jennifer gained deeper insights into human behavior, including the realization that most stress is self-created through habits, stories, and normalized pressures. She learned that people don't just need more information, but a simple, actionable path to apply it.Jennifer was surprised by the global and intimate nature of her podcast audience. Listeners shared how the content had impacted their lives, from improving sleep and digestion to coping with grief and advocating for their health. This feedback reinforced her mission to empower women over 40 with truth, simplicity, and empowerment. Over time, the podcast evolved from practical "hacks" to deeper discussions on identity, aging, purpose, and whole-woman empowerment. Jennifer realized her work was about more than just stress - it was about reclaiming elderhood, sisterhood, and rewriting the narrative of midlife for women. The Healthy Life Hacks podcast has given Jennifer discipline, clarity, courage, community, and storytelling skills. Most importantly, it has connected her with a dedicated audience who kept showing up week after week, hungry for practical tools and real conversations. This journey has made Jennifer braver, sharper, and more unapologetically herself.LINKS: Feel like crap lately? You'r enot alone. And you're not losing it.

In this episode, I talk about the mystic poets who didn't just shape my theology—they taught me how to pray. Not the greatest-hits version of Catholic mysticism, but the voices that formed my interior life through poetry, longing, and encounter. We explore why poetry has always been the native language of mysticism, how prayer is shaped more by desire than by technique, and why some of the most transformative saints are remembered for their theology while their poetry is quietly forgotten. Along the way, I reflect on John of the Cross, Jacopone da Todi, Mechthild of Magdeburg, and St. Columba—mystics who wrote about God not as an idea, but as fire, wound, pursuit, exile, and love. This isn't a how-to on prayer or a list of spiritual habits, rather it's an invitation into a deeper, more contemplative Catholic spirituality, where longing becomes language and love becomes the teacher.

Expositional style teaching of Romans CH 2:4-11 looking into how the deeds of man no matter how moral or law abiding will never measure up to the righteousness of God. This teaching will take a close look at verse 7 in order to refute a works-based salvation, as well examine two common views that remove potential contradictions. In addition, we will show how the Apostle Paul continues to build a case that will demonstrate that the deeds of man lead to condemnation, absent acknowledging and accepting the ultimate deed of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

Expositional style teaching of Romans CH 2:12-16 by expounding on each verse as we continue to witness the Apostle Paul challenge any and all deeds associated with man. In this teaching, we will take a dedicated look at what it means to be a doer of the word, as well as show that the conscience state of man has a law within himself that exposes his understanding of good and evil. We will also see that all in Christ Jesus are justified apart from works, while challenging ourselves as the workmanship of Christ to produce good works for His glory. Taught by Assistant Pastor Mac at Calvary Kaneohe Hawaii.

Social Media as a Business Tool Built a strong presence on TikTok (90K followers) and other platforms. Helped older real estate firms thrive by creating digital visibility. Emphasized that “business must look as good online as in person.” Financial Literacy & Homeownership African-American communities often lack foundational financial knowledge. Key barriers: misunderstanding credit, fear of debt, and lack of exposure to ownership benefits. Advocates teaching the difference between good debt (real estate) and bad debt (consumer credit). Real Estate Process Initial onboarding: credit score, income, tax filing. Connect clients with lenders, secure pre-approval, then negotiate and close within 30–45 days.

Advocates for Black representation in construction, an industry dominated by whites and Hispanics. Personal Background Raised in New Orleans during Katrina by a single mother and grandparents. Mother invested FEMA checks into real estate, teaching him property management and renovation skills early. Believes knowledge is power and emphasizes planning and consistency. Notable Quotes On embracing discomfort:“I learned to embrace the uncomfort and make it one of my biggest strengths.” On social media:“You have to make your business look the same way online as in person.” On financial literacy:“Real estate is always going to be good debt. Bad debt is the Macy’s card.” On collaboration:“Pooling resources shows how far we can go and how fast we can go—but together.” On planning:“If you don’t plan, you plan to fail. All you have to do is stick to the plan.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
