What if becoming a better spearo had less to do with diving deeper or buying better gear—and more to do with learning how to actually see what's happening around you? In this episode, Shrek sits down with commercial fisherman, spearo, hunter and lifelong observer of the natural world Johnny Mitchell, with Johnny's longtime mate Tim McDonald joining the conversation. Johnny has spent decades living, fishing, hunting and observing in the bush and on the water. From commercially chasing Spanish mackerel and mud crabs to living out of a swag, caretaking Cape Capricorn lighthouse and spending countless hours simply watching animals behave, he has developed an extraordinary ability to recognise patterns in the natural world. The conversation explores awareness, natural intelligence, tides, weather, animal behaviour, sensory awareness and pattern recognition—and why asking simplistic questions like "Is the full moon better?" or "Does falling barometric pressure make fish bite?" can actually hold back your learning. Johnny explains why every productive fishing or spearfishing location has its own combination of features and conditions, and why the better question is often: Why were the fish here today—and why weren't they here yesterday? Tim also shares how Johnny's influence has completely changed the way he approaches spearfishing: shooting fewer fish, observing more, recognising short feeding windows and learning to know where to be, when to be there and why. This one goes well beyond spearfishing. It's a conversation about reconnecting with the natural world, waking up dulled senses and becoming less dependent on apps, assumptions and handed-down rules.

Today, he tries to inspire other patients to become advocates for others.

Sunday 2nd August - Message presented during the evening service by Ps Tim McDonald

In 2020, Tim McDonald went to an urgent care for a pain in his side. He left knowing he had stage IV colorectal cancer that had already spread to his liver. A second oncologist told him he had three years to live. Almost six years later, after a liver transplant and a long stretch of treatment, Tim is still here, still working, and still traveling with his wife every year. Chris Anderson sits down with Tim to talk about the mindset that carried him through it, the symptoms he brushed off for months, and what it actually looks like to stop planning your life and start living it. Tim is a healthcare advocate and the host of the Advocacy at Work podcast and blog. He has gone to Capitol Hill to push for colorectal cancer research funding and sits on research panels that bring the patient voice into how new treatments get built. This one is for the man who keeps putting off the checkup, the hard conversation, and the trip he says he will take someday. What we get into: The moment Tim heard the words "you have cancer" and why his reaction worried his own doctor Why he told his wife "that's your story, not mine" after a doctor handed him a three year timeline The count to 10 practice that got his temper under control, and why most men quit before it works The journaling exercise he uses to talk back to fear so it stops running his decisions The symptoms he explained away for months: weight loss, back pain, night sweats, and never feeling warm Why colorectal cancer screening dropped from age 50 to 45, and why it may drop again to 40 Cologuard versus the newer blood tests, and what to do if you are too young for insurance to cover it How one positive blood test six years later sent him back into the what ifs, and how he got out What changed in his marriage when his wife became the rock instead of him Why he stopped trying to be the hardest worker in the room and started working smarter The question he left in the Upgrade Log for the next guest Connect with Tim McDonald: Website and podcast: advocacyatwork.com LinkedIn: Tim A.

Tim McDonald was sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner in 2020 when the pain started. A few days later, a doctor handed him a single sheet of paper and said three words nobody wants to hear: "You have cancer."Stage 4 colorectal cancer. Liver covered in tumors. A second oncologist told him he had three years to live and she'd focus on "quality of life." His response? "That's your story. Not mine."In this episode, Tim shares how over a decade of mindfulness practice shaped the way he faced one of the hardest diagnoses a person can receive and how he went from following doctors' orders to becoming the general manager of his own care team, ultimately pursuing a liver transplant at a time when fewer than 20 people in the US had received one for colorectal cancer.This conversation goes deep on:→ What it actually feels like to hear "you have cancer" and stay calm→ Why getting a second (and third, and tenth) opinion saved his life→ The player → quarterback → general manager framework for owning your treatment→ Men, vulnerability, and why cancer support groups changed everything→ The dark thought he had toward the end of chemo — and what pulled him back→ Why survivorship was mentally harder than treatment itself→ How advocacy work became part of his healingIf you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, this episode is essential listening.───────────────────────────

What happens when a cancer diagnosis turns out to be the beginning of a mission, not the end of a story? In episode 267 of Joy Found Here, Tim McDonald shares how a stage IV colorectal cancer diagnosis in 2020 led him through chemo, a search for a living liver donor, and ultimately a transplant that changed everything—and how that journey turned him into a research advocate, author, and podcast host fighting to make sure others don't face the same battle alone.

Send us Fan MailIT's Therapy Thursday!!A doctor once told Tim McDonald he had three years to live. Tim didn't accept that as the end of the story, and he didn't try to “positive-think” his way out of reality either. He got curious, asked harder questions, tracked what his body was doing during chemo, and kept building a plan that matched his goals. What unfolds is a raw, practical conversation about stage 4 colorectal cancer, the shock of diagnosis, and what treatment is really like when fatigue, nausea, neuropathy, and scanxiety become part of the calendar. Tim shares how online patient communities helped him discover an option no one had brought to him early on: liver transplant for select colorectal cancer patients with liver-only metastases. We dig into what the living donor search feels like, why the waiting can be more emotionally draining than chemo, and how hope changes when you finally see a path off lifelong treatment. We also talk about the part people don't prepare you for: survivorship mental health, grief, and the strange weight of losing friends you met through advocacy and support spaces. Along the way, we pull out clear self-advocacy lessons you can use right now, whether you're facing cancer or any chronic illness: get multiple opinions until you believe what you hear, find specialists who know the nuances, and remember you're allowed to choose your care team. If this conversation helps you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review. What's one question you want to ask your doctor after listening?Tim McDonald is a stage IV colorectal cancer survivor, patient advocate, podcast host, and author.

Performance and Works used with permission from the artist and venue. Founded in Chicago and Led by Bassist Kevin Robert Martinez, Reclamation Band is modern jazz with an open rural backdrop. Its unique combination of composed and improvised elements evokes an array of moods and styles such as Americana, Avante-Garde and Blues. A number of things make this group's sound unique. The first is the equal division between a guitar and two saxophone leads versus a rhythm section that includes Bass and Bass Clarinet along with drums. I'm a sucker for the Bass Clarinet sound and Kevin really understands how to leverage that sound in a way few other composers do. The second is that the group functions more as a versatile collective than as a fixed unit. Some configurations exchange a saxophone for a trumpet while others exclude guitar. Kevin took eight months off from the band before regrouping for a tour in support of their recent release These Roads and the new material shines as a result. Featuring Kevin Martinez on Bass, Anthony Tadeo on Percussion, Dan Bruce on Guitar, Tony Spicer on Bass Clarinet, Chris Coles on Alto Saxophone and Tim McDonald on Tenor Saxophone, and from a July 19th, 2025 performance it's the Reclamation Band…Live at the Bop Stop.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) was joined by Tim McDonald, PhD, MPP, and Bryan E. Dowd, PhD, authors of research published in the April 2026 issue. Their study, "Benefit Design and Consumer Information: Results From a Randomized Trial," found that reducing information barriers for consumers selecting primary care clinics in a tiered network design had only a marginal effect on choice. McDonald and Dowd noted that this suggests informational interventions alone may be insufficient to overcome existing inertia. They added that consumers may already be adequately informed through the tiered benefit design. In AJMC's conversation with the authors, we discussed how provider- and consumer-oriented payment reforms influence health care efficiency and the role of consumer inertia. We also explored the key findings from their research and the broader implications for patient decision-making.

On episode 157 of PSQH: The Podcast, Dr. Gerald Hickson, Founding Director of the Center for Patient and Professional Advocacy at Vanderbilt Health, and Dr. Tim McDonald, chief patient safety and risk officer at RLDatix, talk about the problem of unprofessional behavior in healthcare.

Reset Breathing, Equalisation Fixes & Ocean Glide: Cindy Yang on Spearfishing, Freediving and Mindset. What happens when a Taiwanese-born Californian firefighter, underwater photographer, and freediving coach moves to Australia for love and brings two decades of ocean wisdom with her? Cindy Yang of Ocean Glide joins Shrek for a wide-ranging conversation that covers her extraordinary life arc — from a hyperactive kid in Taipei who'd never seen the ocean, to chasing abalone on the Northern California coast, to becoming one of the few female firefighters in her station, to eventually leaving her dream career to chase a different kind of depth. Along the way, they dig into practical gold: Cindy's seasickness microdosing protocol, a deep dive into sinus anatomy and why surgery isn't always the answer, her natural wetsuit lube (and exactly how to use it), and the episode's standout gem — the RESET acronym, a breathwork framework drawn from firefighting and freediving that you can use mid-dive, mid-panic, or mid-argument with your kids to snap yourself back into calm, clear decision-making. If you've ever struggled with EQ, stress underwater, or just want to feel more in control in and out of the water, this one's for you.

The business is co-owned by Mary Kay Clark and Tim McDonald, who admit they don't have much cafe experience but are both fully committed to uplifting people with disabilities.

Step up to The Line. A podcast focused on highlighting theskilled trades. This week I sat down with Edwin Parra of McCarthy Building Companies and Tim McDonald, president of Linear Technical College. I think it's pretty cool to have had the opportunity to sit down with one of the nations oldest and larger contractors and we have a conversation with Tim, who is leading a college for the trades. We talk about how it's not who you know but, it's how hard you work. It's the attitude and the effort that you're able to put into something so you're able to get something back out of it. We talk about the true success that you gain through your investment. These guys believe what they say and they live it. This truly is a real, honest, and authentic conversation.
