From sleepaway camp to the Appalachian Trail, Jennifer Pharr Davis's story is one of curiosity, courage and...camp. Her early desire to "keep up" rapidly transformed into a relentless drive to find her own limits, leading her to achievements few can even imagine. In this episode, Anne Hancock Toomey sits down with the former National Geographic Adventurer of the Year to talk about how lessons from the trail have shaped her life as an athlete, business owner, and leader. Jennifer's path began in the mountains of North Carolina and led her to set the fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail—averaging 47 miles a day over 2,200 miles—and to create the Blue Ridge Hiking Company, inspiring thousands to connect with the outdoors. Along the way, she's learned about resilience, risk-taking, and redefining leadership through self-awareness, faith, and the power of nature. “If you never fail,” her camp director told her, “you haven't set your goals high enough.” Highlights: 2:46 – Growing Up in the North Carolina Mountains 4:18 – Lessons from Summer Camp 8:30 – First Job & Early Leadership 11:00 – First Appalachian Trail Thru-Hike 15:00 – First ‘Real Job' & the Call of the Trail 18:00 – Founding Blue Ridge Hiking Company 22:00 – Lessons in Leadership & Longevity 23:30 – Back to the AT 31:00 – Endurance, Adversity & Teamwork 35:00 – Breaking the Record 36:00 – Advocacy & the Next Chapter 38:30 – Family, Faith & Work-Life Balance 41:00 – Leadership Lessons from the Trail 43:30 – Lightning Round   Learn more about your ad choices.

The road to mastery is paved with small improvements every day.Communicating can feel daunting at times. What does it take to find your voice in the moments that matter most? As Chiney Ogwumike says, “There is freedom on the other side of your fear.”As a professional basketball player, NBA and WNBA analyst for ESPN, and advocate for gender equality in sports, Ogwumike faces many situations where communication is critical. For her, achieving confidence in communication is the same as honing any other skill—embracing failure and refinement through repetition. “The best things in life are things you work out over long periods of time,” she says. “Great people, great communicators, anyone that's working at something, show up each and every day and just chip away, chip away, chip away, until they turn that weakness into a strength.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Ogwumike and host Matt Abrahams discuss how practice and preparation can equip us for better communication, transforming fear into confidence, perfectionism into authenticity, and weakness into strength.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Chiney OgwumikeEp.166 Why Relying on Talent Alone Will Fail You Ep.153 Listen Up, Leaders: A Record-Setting Coach's Guide to Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:20) - Communication on the Court (04:02) - Performing Under Pressure (06:11) - Lessons from Great Coaches (08:21) - Embracing Imperfection and Authenticity (11:43) - Strategies for Effective On-Air Communication (16:16) - The Final Three Questions (19:09) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

This four-part series originates from an archive of rare 2004 recordings of wisdom conversations with my mentor, John Wells Jr. Sadly, John passed away in early February 2005, after battling cancer. Those conversations and recordings served as a pre-cursor, perhaps even a prequel to this podcast which launched 15 years later in 2019.   A Powerful Six-Word Phrase for Leaders Part Three of our our mini-series is the shortest of the four. In it, you will discover one of John's favorite leadership tools. It's a powerful, six-word phrase that's easy to grasp, easy to use and easy to master. It holds the power to unlock your leadership potential.   Enjoy this concise, practical wisdom lesson from John Wells Jr. As you listen and learn, begin to think where and when you will have the best opportunity to apply it.   More About Our Wise Guest - John Wells, Jr. John was one of the most effective and influential mentors in my lifetime. He taught, led and influenced me, opening my eyes and expanding my thinking on those things that truly matter. I was deeply blessed to know him.   John was a dedicated retail veteran and community leader who co-founded Wells Home Furnishings after many years working at R.H. Kyle Furniture Co.   Known for his entrepreneurial spirit, he led his business to award-winning success and earned induction into the National Wholesale Furniture Association Hall of Fame. Beyond his career, Wells was deeply involved in civic and youth service organizations in Charleston, including the Boys Scouts, YMCA and United Way, among others, reflecting his commitment to community betterment.   In 2000, John was honored with the prestigious Ernst Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. Though he never sought the spotlight, one day the President of the United States, George W. Bush, stood in Charleston and honored John Wells for his service. His legacy is marked by his dedication to his family, his profession and his community, leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.   Resources YMCA Spirit of the Valley Tribute Video to John Wells, Jr. (2005) Wells Home Furnishings website   Credits Special thanks to Motion Masters, Inc. - Diana Sole Walko, CEO/President - for generously supporting and capturing video and audio from these 2004 sessions.   Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Twitter @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn TikTok @TheMainThingPod   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

What began as a local field trip program has become a global platform for teaching leadership and belonging.Jerry reveals how distance learning expands access to stories that inspire—stories that remind students that greatness isn't about fame or stats, but about resilience, teamwork, and heart.Listeners will learn:How the Pro Football Hall of Fame uses live virtual programs to teach life values through sports.Why distance learning is about access—to people, perspectives, and purpose.How technology transformed the Hall of Fame's programs from local field trips to global connections.What makes stories of perseverance and leadership so powerful when shared directly by the legends who lived them.If you believe distance learning can only go so far, Jerry Csaki's story will expand your definition of what's possible when technology connects classrooms to character.Episode LinksPro Football Hall of Fame – Youth & Education ProgramsHeart of a Hall of Famer Series – Connected by Extreme NetworksHost LinksExplore virtual learning resources and programs at CILC.org with Tami Moehring and Allyson MitchellDiscover global learning experiences at Banyan Global Learning with Seth FleischauerWant to help us reshape distance learning?

The group is pushed into urban warfare training, simulating real combat rescue conditions. Each team must recover a fallen comrade under explosions, chaos, and exhaustion.Jessie James Decker shares her military family roots and determination to prove herself, while Nick Young struggles physically and mentally—dropping the “casualty” multiple times and nearly quitting. His frustration costs his team the mission. Across the board, every team fails, and the DS (Directing Staff) remind them: “‘We can't do it' should not be in your vocabulary.”Brianna LaPaglia opens up emotionally about her high-profile breakup with Zach Bryan, revealing how she turned down a $12.9 million offer to stay silent and is using this experience to rebuild herself. The DS recognize her resilience and encourage her to face her demons instead of running from them.Jussie Smollett's health worsens, and he's medically withdrawn after developing a severe chest infection. Fourteen recruits remain as the next challenge begins: a stealth infiltration across buildings, scaling walls, and crossing a narrow ladder four stories high. Olympic legend Christie Rampone stumbles and fails; Gia and her team succeed; Nick Young once again freezes mid-air and fails to complete the task.Later, the DS call in Nick, confronting his humor as a defense mechanism. He breaks down, revealing the trauma of losing his brother, which shaped his need to make others happy and his drive to succeed. His emotional breakthrough becomes one of the episode's most powerful moments—showing the heart behind the bravado.By the end, the recruits are bruised, shaken, but still standing—physically and emotionally battling their own internal warzones.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

It's all about your Character & Integrity!We have begun a 7-week series based on my book, "Senior Salute," which I wrote as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes. "Inspiration for the Graduate" makes for a great graduation gift, and "Senior Salute" is a great gift to give on Senior Night or at the End-of-Season Banquet. Each book is filled with quotes based on various Team Themes that, hopefully, the coaches have talked with and worked on with their teams at some point in the season. This week, we are working our way through the first chapter of the book and the theme of Character & Integrity. We wrap up this week's theme of Character/Integrity with five quotes in today's episode.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche continue their insightful conversation with Adam Malone, exploring how trust and reliability drive stronger teams and foster more robust customer relationships. We pick up with Adam, who opens by emphasizing that reliability begins with consistency. Teams should revisit their guiding principles every couple of weeks—not just at the start of a project. These regular check-ins foster alignment, identify minor missteps early, and maintain clear priorities. “Even if it feels repetitive, that one time someone speaks up can save weeks of rework,” Adam explains. He adds, It's not about being flawless. It's about being consistent, accountable, and transparent—values that transform principles from words into action. Reinforcing Reliability Through Shared Principles Reliable teams share a standard compass. Adam recommends boiling down guiding principles to one or two clear slides so everyone can easily reference them during meetings. When conflict arises, those principles provide the framework for productive discussions. Rather than asking who's right, teams can ask: Does this decision align with our values? “That constant reinforcement builds reliability,” Adam says. “It keeps everyone anchored, no matter who's leading the conversation.” This shared structure enables teams to make consistent, principle-driven decisions—an essential component of long-term reliability. Extending Reliability to the Customer Experience Michael then turns the discussion outward: how does this translate to the customer experience? Adam explains that reliability for customers begins with a clear definition. Many organizations claim to deliver “great service,” but few define what that means in concrete, repeatable terms. Is it speed? Fairness? Empathy? When teams clearly define those expectations—how to handle complaints, returns, or exceptional cases—they make it a measurable concept. “We all own the customer experience,” Adam emphasizes. “It's not one department's job—it's everyone's responsibility.” By conducting after-action reviews and evaluating whether customer interactions align with agreed principles, businesses ensure that it becomes a company-wide culture rather than a customer-service function. The Three Elements of Reliability Adam breaks reliability into three key elements that inspire trust: empathy, authenticity, and performance. Empathy – Customers recognize reliability when they feel heard. Confirming concerns and restating issues shows genuine care. Authenticity – True reliability requires sincerity. People can spot a scripted response immediately; being real always resonates. Performance – Reliability is proven when promises are met. Even small, predictable actions—like sending updates exactly when promised—reinforce credibility. “Reliability is the visible form of trust,” Adam says. “It's how people know we'll do what we say.” These principles work equally well for internal teams, turning accountability into culture. Aligning Internal and External Reliability Adam also shares how teams can connect internal with external outcomes. In his “out-of-the-box” sessions, team members from every department—engineering, operations, and customer service—gather to experience a product exactly as a customer would. “Every process has a supplier and a receiver,” Adam explains. “Bringing them together helps everyone understand how reliability feels from start to finish.” This hands-on approach highlights where it breaks down and how teams can collaboratively improve it. It bridges gaps between departments and strengthens the company's overall dependability. Reliability Through Early, Honest Conversations Adam closes with one of the episode's most memorable points: reliability thrives on honesty. Avoiding tough conversations damages trust. “The argument's going to happen eventually,” he says. “Like bad fish, it doesn't get better with age.” By addressing conflicts early, teams preserve transparency, reduce frustration, and maintain consistent reliability across every relationship—internal or external. Final Thoughts In this powerful continuation of their discussion, Adam Malone reminds listeners that reliability is more than a process—it's a promise. From steady communication to authentic customer care, reliable organizations earn trust through consistent action. Reliability is what transforms teams into partners and customers into advocates. It's not built in a day—it's proven every day.

What if the fastest way to a stronger marriage isn't compromise, but better teamwork? After celebrating a number-one Amazon launch, I took a hard look at what actually helped us get there—clear roles, honest communication, and a shared commitment to play the same game on the same side. The result is a practical, story-rich guide to treating marriage like the ultimate team sport, with four moves you can use tonight.I start by reframing “opposites” as assets: the planner and the risk-taker, the night owl and the early bird, the introvert and the extrovert. Instead of fighting to be the same, I show how to deploy differences like positions on the field so your team covers more ground with less friction. Then I talk about offense and defence, who pushes the ball forward in finances, fun, and intimacy, and who protects the goal with boundaries, savings, and rest, so you can balance initiative with stability without making it personal.From there, I dig into communication that actually works: daily 20-minute huddles to align priorities, weekly date nights for team bonding, and a yearly strategy getaway to recalibrate goals. I dismantle the mind-reading myth with real scripts for clear asks, and break down why keeping score breeds rivalry while an us-vs-problem mindset restores momentum. You'll hear candid examples, from celebrating wins to handling those “seams” where balls drop and leave with a simple weekly challenge to spot, name, and thank each other's strengths.If you're ready to stop arguing about who's right and start winning together, this episode gives you the plays, the language, and the mindset to build a championship marriage. Bad Marriage Advice is now an Amazon #1 Best Seller.

When parenting teenagers becomes a battleground between parents, everyone suffers—including your teen. Dr. Cam and couples therapist Dr. Tracy Dalgleish tackle the common problem of parental division, where one parent becomes the “tough one” while the other takes on the “soft” role, creating conflict that teens often exploit. This episode reveals why parents frequently end up on opposite sides of the parenting spectrum, especially during the teenage years when stakes feel higher and emotions run deeper. The experts explain how family triangulation occurs—when relationship tension between parents gets redirected toward the teenager, creating dysfunction for everyone involved. Key insights include understanding that both parents typically share the same core values and goals for their children, even when their approaches differ dramatically. The solution isn't forcing identical parenting styles, but rather establishing shared values while allowing different expressions of those values. Dr. Tracy emphasizes the critical importance of relationship repair—acknowledging mistakes and their impact—as a foundational skill for both marriage and parenting. Parents learn practical strategies for supporting each other even during disagreements, including validation techniques and behind-the-scenes communication that maintain unity. The discussion addresses common challenges like shame spirals, resentment over unequal parenting burdens, and interference from extended family members. Most importantly, parents discover that focusing on their own relationship with their teen—rather than trying to control their partner's approach—creates more positive outcomes for everyone involved.

In the first half of our conversation with Adam Malone, founder of The Tenacious Operator, we explore the Power of Trust — how it drives leadership, strengthens teams, and turns potential project failure into growth. From large-scale ERP rollouts to everyday collaboration, Adam shows that the Power of Trust is what truly separates good teams from great ones. Why the Power of Trust Matters Adam begins with a story familiar to many project leaders: a major ERP implementation where everything looked perfect on paper. All dashboards were green, metrics were solid, and executives were confident. Yet almost overnight, the project unraveled. The root cause? A loss of trust. Team members stayed silent about risks. Operations fixed issues without communicating them. The requirements were “complete,” but in reality, they were incomplete. When trust fails, clarity disappears — and even the best teams lose momentum. When everyone claims “we're on track,” but no one feels safe to speak up, the Power of Trust has already broken down. The Power of Trust in Psychological Safety One of the key insights Adam shares is how psychological safety amplifies the Power of Trust. Proper safety allows people to say, “I'm concerned,” or “This might fail,” without fear of backlash. He recommends creating space for negative feedback through deliberate questions: “How could this project fail?” “What are we not seeing yet?” Conducting a reverse post-mortem helps uncover weak points before they become disasters. This proactive honesty fuels progress and strengthens the Power of Trust across the entire team. Seeing Work Clearly: The Power of Trust in Transparency Drawing from Toyota's famous Gemba concept — “go to the actual place” — Adam urges teams to physically and mentally visit where value is created. In manufacturing, that's the factory floor. In software, it's the analyst's spreadsheet, the developer's codebase, or the tester's environment. When teams observe each other's real work, they develop empathy and shared understanding. That transparency reinforces the Power of Trust — helping communication thrive where silos once stood. Disagree and Commit: The Power of Trust in Alignment Conflict doesn't destroy trust; it refines it. Adam calls this the disagree and commit principle — a hallmark of mature teams. Healthy disagreement surfaces risks, values, and differing priorities. Once discussed openly, the team commits to the final decision together. No finger-pointing, no second-guessing. This habit embodies the Power of Trust by turning friction into forward motion. The Power of Trust isn't about avoiding conflict — it's about using it to align around shared goals. Guiding Principles: Building Systems Around the Power of Trust Before a project begins, Adam recommends defining guiding principles — the rules of engagement that sustain the Power of Trust. Examples include: “Customer satisfaction must stay above a 4.0 rating.” “Average call time can rise by no more than 10 seconds.” “All initiatives must deliver ROI within two quarters.” When these principles are written down, decisions become consistent and fair. Trust grows because everyone understands how success will be measured and maintained. Leading Through the Power of Trust For leaders, the Trust means striking a balance between empathy and accountability. Adam suggests two types of sponsors for every major initiative: An executive sponsor who clears political obstacles. An operational sponsor who stays close to day-to-day work. Add in a skilled project manager who encourages honest conversation, and the Power of Trust becomes the foundation of performance — not just a talking point. Key Takeaways from Part 1 The Power of Trust transforms fear into feedback and silence into success. Psychological safety isn't soft — it's how great teams stay sharp.

Get your copy of Kate's book, Beyond Potential:  A Guide for Creatives Who Want to Re-Assess, Re-Define, and Re-Ignite Their Career.  In today's episode, Kate sits down with author and executive coach Charlie Gilkey, founder of Productive Flourishing, to unpack the truth about why teams struggle — and how to fix it. Charlie explains how small, everyday team habits can make or break performance, belonging, and joy at work. Together, he and Kate explore how power dynamics show up in every team (from Fortune 100 companies to small nonprofits), why “broken printers” are the real enemy, and how leaders can stop being the bottleneck in their own organizations.

You'll learn: Why every dysfunctional team is doing something to each other — not to them. The three kinds of power that exist in every organization.

It's all about your Character & Integrity!This week, we start a 7-week series based on my book, "Senior Salute," which I wrote as a follow-up to my most popular book ever, "Inspiration for the Graduate." Both are gift books for coaches or parents to give to their senior athletes. "Inspiration for the Graduate" makes for a great graduation gift, and "Senior Salute" is a great gift to give on Senior Night or at the End-of-Season Banquet. Each book is filled with quotes based on various Team Themes that, hopefully, the coaches have talked with and worked on with their teams at some point in the season. This week, we start with the first chapter of the book and the theme of Character & Integrity. You will hear four quotes discussed in today's episode.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.
