In this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, Travis Chappell explores one of the most powerful common themes he's uncovered after interviewing hundreds of high achievers: the stories we tell ourselves shape the actions we take—and ultimately the results we get. Drawing on insights from experts like Michael Hyatt, Dr. Nicole LePera, and Viktor Frankl, Travis explains why changing your internal narrative may be the missing piece between where you are today and the life you want to create. On this episode we talk about: Why your beliefs and identity are upstream of your habits and results How childhood experiences create limiting stories and learned adaptations Travis's personal journey of overcoming a negative money mindset The difference between reacting to circumstances and intentionally shaping your future Practical exercises for identifying and rewriting the stories holding you back Top 3 Takeaways Your story determines your behavior. The beliefs you hold about yourself influence your actions long before discipline or willpower comes into play. Most limiting beliefs are learned—not permanent. By identifying the narratives you've adopted throughout life, you can intentionally replace them with ones that support your goals. Take ownership of your outcomes. Asking yourself, "What role am I playing in the results I continue to get?" creates the awareness necessary for meaningful change. Notable Quotes "Your actions are downstream of the story that you're telling yourself." "There are the facts, and then there's the meaning that you ascribe to them." "Write the story you've been telling yourself—and then rewrite it as if the empowering version were true for the next month."

On this episode of Next Level: Good Vibes Only, Jessica and Darren Salquist break down a simple truth: the trail always teaches you something. Fresh off finishing a Ragnar Ultra trail race, through overnight miles, rain, and more than a few changes of wet clothes, they unpack what a hard challenge reveals about who you really are.Starting from a quote by Eric Thomas, they explore how the mind is your strongest muscle, how gratitude becomes a tool that carries you through the toughest moments, and why what you can't control matters less than how you prepare for it. Drawing on Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and Phil Stutz's idea of Part X, Jessica and Darren share how discomfort, when you lean into it, becomes the very thing that grows you. As Darren puts it, it's a feeling you can't buy at Amazon or grab off the shelf at Costco. You earn it.Stick around to the end for five reflection questions you can carry into your own next challenge, whether that's a race, a goal, or simply a hard season of life. This one pairs beautifully with the companion meditation, Becoming Through the Challenge.Follow Darren Salquist, Life Changer, Self-Mastery + Heroic Performance Coach, PTA, and Personal TrainerIG: @salquid ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/salquid/⁠⁠Linkedin ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/darren-salquist-3836b770/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/darren.salquist?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Follow Jessica Salquist, Life Changer, Nationally Board Certified Reflexologist, Heroic Performance Coach, and Executive LeaderIG: @reflexologyjedi ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/reflexologyjedi/⁠⁠Linkedin: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-salquist-46b07772/⁠⁠FB: ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/salquistjessica?mibextid=LQQJ4d⁠⁠Find us both on IG @nextlevelreflexologycoaching ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/nextlevelreflexologycoaching⁠⁠Wellness + Coaching — Next Level Coaching and ReflexologyWebsite: ⁠⁠www.nextleveltransformationalcoaching.com⁠⁠ Check out Heroic.us to enroll in a coaching program and be part of an amazing community.Buy the book Arete here: ⁠⁠https://a.co/d/ctXhK7A⁠⁠ (on Amazon)

You have read the books. You've done the retreats. You have overhauled your diet, your sleep, your morning routine. And you still feel the gap. Not broken, not lazy. Just caught in a loop that the next fix never quite closes. We want to talk about why.This episode is about the biology of being stuck. Not the shame of it. The actual mechanism. We get into what is really happening inside a nervous system that has been running on chronic stress, why the search for the next solution is neurologically wired into that state, and what it actually takes to interrupt the cycle for good. We cover the 90-second chemistry of emotion, Hebb's Law, the reticular activating system, Viktor Frankl's stimulus-response space, and the neuroscience of mental rehearsal. This one is about giving you a real explanation for what has felt personal, and a real path forward.What You'll Learn:Why your body can become physiologically addicted to stress hormones, and how that keeps you unconsciously generating the exact conditions you are trying to escapeThe 90-second rule: what Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's neuroanatomy research reveals about how long an emotion actually lasts in the body, and what everything after that meansWhy insight alone cannot change your nervous system, and what your nervous system actually responds toHow Hebb's Law works in your favor: every time you practice a new emotional state, you are building real, measurable neural architectureWhat the reticular activating system (RAS) is doing with your beliefs, and how shifting that filter changes what you are available to see and act onViktor Frankl's "space between stimulus and response," and why every external fix misses it entirelyWhat mental rehearsal actually is neurologically, and how elite athletes have used it for decades to become familiar with a state before they are living itThe identity question that changes everything: who do I need to decide I am for this to become true?Your Next StepsFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eversiowellness/Shop Eversio Wellness and save 15% with code PODCAST15: https://www.eversiowellness.com/discount/PODCAST15?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fall-productsTake our wellness QUIZ to find the right mushroom for you: https://www.eversiowellness.com/pages/take-our-quiz

We all experience stress. The real challenge isn't stress itself—it's whether we recover from it. Over time, chronic stress can quietly affect everything from inflammation and metabolism to sleep, digestion, and healthy aging. This week on The Dr. Hyman Show, I talk with nervous system educator and HRV expert Salim Najjar to explore what heart rate variability (HRV) can reveal about your body's ability to recover from stress and build resilience. Together, we unpack: • How to use HRV to better understand your body's response to stress • Why some stress makes you stronger while chronic stress wears you down • How to get more value from your wearable without obsessing over the numbers • Five daily habits that can help your nervous system recover and become more resilient • How your nervous system influences inflammation, healing, and healthy aging Our bodies are constantly responding to the demands we place on them every day. The good news is that resilience can be built, and the strategies in this conversation can help you recover from stress more effectively and support long-term health. To help you get started, Salim has created a free HRV guide that includes a personalized quiz and AI coach exclusively for listeners.View Show Notes From This Episode Sign up for Dr. Hyman's Brainshaping Academy to learn how to nourish the biological systems that support your mental, emotional, and cognitive health https://drhyman.com/products/brainshaping?utm_source=dr_hyman_show&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=may_27&utm_content=linkGet Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hymanhttps://drhyman.com/pages/picks?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcastSign Up for Dr. Hyman's Weekly Longevity Journalhttps://drhyman.com/pages/longevity?utm_campaign=shownotes&utm_medium=banner&utm_source=podcastJoin the 10-Day Detox to Reset Your Healthhttps://drhyman.com/pages/10-day-detoxJoin the Hyman Hive for Expert Support and Real Resultshttps://drhyman.com/pages/hyman-hive This episode is brought to you by Perfect Amino, Cozy Earth, Timeline, Sunlighten, Made In, and Seatopia.

What if almost everything you've been told about happiness is wrong? Most people spend their lives trying to avoid discomfort. Jerzy Gregorek argues the opposite: the harder the choices you willingly make, the happier, stronger, and more resilient your life becomes. World Champion weightlifter, philosopher, poet, therapist, and author Jerzy Gregorek explores the mindset principles that helped him survive political persecution in Communist Poland, overcome alcoholism, fight for freedom, coach elite athletes, and transform countless lives through what he calls the Happy Body philosophy. Jerzy explains why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you earn through difficult choices. He reveals why most people sabotage their own happiness through expectations and complaint, why tiny daily improvements create extraordinary lives, and why true freedom begins the moment you take complete ownership of your choices. --- 00:00 Why Hard Choices Create an Easier Life 01:29 Recovering From Injury Starts With the Right Goal 05:22 Why Most People Never Build Real Resilience 07:02 The Stoic Philosophy of Constant Progress 08:01 Why You Need Bigger Goals 10:21 Building Confidence Through Personal Proof 13:19 The Power of Micro Progressions 15:18 The Incredible Story of Rebuilding a Life From Scratch 25:00 At 71 Years Old: Why Jerzy Still Olympic Lifts Every Day 30:03 How Poetry Became a Tool for Healing Trauma 36:18 "The Mind Makes the Body" 40:47 Viktor Frankl on Finding Meaning Through Suffering 45:20 Fighting for Freedom in Communist Poland 47:48 Helping People Recover From Addiction, PTSD & Darkness 54:54 Can You Become Your Own Hero? 56:17 The Books That Changed Jerzy's Life 58:12 Why Expectations Create Suffering 59:18 Stop Complaining, Start Taking Ownership 01:03:21 Choosing Happiness Is a Skill 01:07:22 What "Ever Forward" Really Means 01:10:47 The Value of Mentors 01:13:28 Jerzy's Daily Happy Body Practice ---- Episode resources: Timeline - get MitoPure with urolithin A for less than $75/month with code EVERFORWARD  Watch and subscribe on YouTube

I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; 20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written,“Those who have never been told of him will see,     and those who have never heard will understand.”22 This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At present, however, I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. 28 When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you. 29 I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.30 I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. 33 May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.1.     The sermon opens with Viktor Frankl scribbling notes in a concentration camp — already living in a story that hadn't happened yet, for people he didn't know. When you're honest with yourself, what size is the story you're living in day to day?2.     Frederick Douglass could have disappeared into a safe, quiet life after escaping slavery. Instead he gave up his anonymity for a story bigger than himself. Is there something you've already been given — a platform, a skill, an experience, access — that belongs to a bigger story than you've been using it for?3.     "A story the size of your own comfort doesn't need a very big God." Does that land for you? Are there areas of your life where you suspect you're not experiencing much of God because you're not in any situation that you think requires him?4.     Or- Is there something in your life right now that you need others to actually be striving in prayer with you over? Have you told anyone?5.     What's your Spain? The godly ambition you keep circling but haven't let yourself pursue. What comes to mind — and what's kept you from taking a step toward it?

Getting praised at work shouldn't feel dangerous. But if you've ever watched someone deflate a colleague's moment of recognition with a pointed comment, a reminder of an old mistake, or a sudden need to redirect the credit, you know that in some workplaces, praise comes with a price.In this episode, we decode the recognition hoarder: the colleague who treats credit like a limited resource and experiences your success as her personal loss. You'll learn where this scarcity mindset actually comes from (Carol Dweck's research explains a lot), the four ways recognition hoarding shows up, and the exact moment her wound becomes yours if you're not paying attention.You'll also learn the third step of the CALM framework, Listen, and how to hear what's actually being said underneath what's literally being said. Plus four practical moves to keep your light on, including how to receive praise without shrinking, and how to protect the two-second gap between someone's comment and your reaction. Viktor Frankl figured this one out decades ago, and it might be the most valuable career skill nobody taught you.One person's comments do not get to redefine who you are.In this episode:The scarcity belief driving the behavior, and why it was never about youThe public flaw-finder, the credit redirector, the self-deprecating scorekeeper, and the silenceThe transfer moment: when her scarcity becomes yoursThe CALM Listen stepHow to receive praise completely (practice the full stop)Why giving recognition freely is your quietest power moveTraining the gap: the two seconds that protect your identity at workNot sure what's really getting in the way of your career?

If you've ever believed grief and joy can't coexist, episode 444 of Grief and Happiness will change your mind. Cancer survivor Harriet Cabelly shares the mindset that carried her through diagnosis: it's not what happens to you, but what you do with it. Sitting with pain, not rushing past it, is the real path to a life worth living.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(00:03) Introducing Harriet Cabelly and her work in grief, loss, and positive psychology(02:34) Viktor Frankl, logotherapy, and the life-changing lessons of Man's Search for Meaning(04:27) Harriet's cancer diagnosis and choosing not to live as a victim of circumstance(10:58) Post-traumatic growth: how difficulty can become the seed of real change(11:55) "Leaving an imprint in the sand" — redefining legacy and paying it forward(12:44) Building community through small, unplanned acts of connection(18:08) Turning to creativity — handwritten cards and nature photography — as an outlet for grief(24:33) Why Harriet chose a creative arts therapist over a traditional support group(26:40) Confronting society's discomfort with grief and its obsession with quick fixesHarriet Cabelly is a licensed clinical social worker in New York focused on grief, loss, and life transitions. A cancer survivor, she blends positive psychology with Viktor Frankl's logotherapy, studied through his Vienna institute, and founded Rebuild Life Now. She has authored several books, including Light Through Darkness and Your To Die For Life, and works as a speaker and facilitator helping clients hold grief and joy together.In this episode, Harriet reframed grief around one idea: it's not what happens to us, but what we do with it, that shapes our lives. Rather than adopting a victim mentality after her diagnosis, she used it to fuel a mission of paying forward the gift of her life. She and Emily discussed how creative outlets like handwritten cards and nature photography can substitute for talk therapy, and why growth only emerges once pain is fully felt. Harriet also challenged society's discomfort with grief, noting people reach for quick fixes instead of sitting with pain. The conversation closed on her image of "leaving an imprint in the sand," capturing that healing happens through small acts of care.Connect with Harriet Cabelly:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramYouTubeLet's Connect: WebsiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramTwitterPinterestThe Grief and Happiness AllianceBook: Emily Thiroux Threatt - Loving and Living Your Way Through Grief Hosted on Acast.

Il te donne des outils concrets pour vivre avec l'incertitude sans qu'elle prenne toute la place, retrouver du sens, et continuer à avancer vers une vie qui te ressemble vraiment.Si comme moi tu as déjà eu envie de fuir les informations, ou si tu te reconnais dans ce sentiment de vide malgré une vie qui, vue de l'extérieur, semble aller bien, cet épisode va te faire du bien.Tu veux en savoir plus, n'oublie pas la 

Un hombre lo pierde todo — su familia, su nombre, hasta el manuscrito que llevaba escondido en el abrigo. Y en medio del horror descubre algo que nadie pudo arrebatarle. Hoy hablamos de Viktor Frankl y de por qué, en un mundo lleno de guerras, odios y ruido, este pequeño libro es la lectura de verano que necesitas. Porque la pregunta no es qué espero yo de la vida — es qué espera la vida de mí.

„Dem Menschen kann alles genommen werden, nur eines nicht: die letzte der menschlichen Freiheiten – seine Einstellung zu den gegebnen Umständen selbst zu wählen.“ Viktor Frankl Über besonders die Einstellung, Mentalität und manchmal auch Identität, die wir haben, wenn uns z.B. starkes Unrecht getan wird oder wir vor großen Schwierigkeiten stehen, spricht Simon in dieser Folge in der Serie „Befreiung“. Ein Opfer von etwas zu werden ist schlichtweg schrecklich – es kann jedoch sein, dass es eine Opfermentalität ist, die uns in einer Sackgasse stecken bleiben lässt; während auf der anderen Seite der Verantwortung und Hilfe durch Gott enorm große Freiheit liegen würde. Josef ist nur eine Person in der Bibel, die sich nicht nur einmal gegen eine Opfermentalität entscheiden musste und treu Verantwortung übernommen hat und dessen Geschichte einmal mehr zeigt, wie Gott sich zu Unterdrückten hilft und Schwache stärkt.

"Between stimulus and response is a space. And in that space lies the opportunity for growth and freedom." — Viktor Frankl Nicky Billou is a high-achiever who, by his own admission, spent decades being bad at one of the most important skills in personal development: receiving feedback. Not ignoring it exactly — but going defensive, dismissing it, finding reasons it didn't apply. Sound familiar? Recording from his car during a rare day off on World Cup week, Nicky shares what shifted after two people he genuinely respects told him the same thing within two weeks — the second time at a men's overnight retreat in the Muskokas. Instead of deflecting, he finally sat with it. And in doing so, he found his way to one of Viktor Frankl's most powerful ideas: that between stimulus and response there is a space, and that space is where growth and freedom actually live. The practice Nicky lands on isn't passive acceptance. He's equally direct about the trap of agreeing with every piece of feedback you receive. The real skill is the pause — listening without immediately reacting, evaluating honestly, and then deciding what actually applies. It's harder than it sounds for driven people. It's also more valuable.

I get pitches in my inbox every day. Most of them I can't fit into the schedule, no matter how great they are. This one stopped me cold. Sarah Jakle is the founder and executive director of DemocraShe, a nonpartisan nonprofit offering free online training to high school girls in evidence-based resiliency skills, leadership, and civic engagement. They pay their participants $15 an hour. They recruit specifically from historically underrepresented communities. They are 90% girls of color and 70% first-generation Americans. And they have a wait list seven times longer than their current capacity. Only 28% of Congress is women. Only 11% is women of color. Sarah and her organization are doing something about that, and they're starting in high school, because that's the last time boys and girls believe equally that they can run for office. This conversation genuinely moved me. Have a notebook ready. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why Sarah started DemocraShe after watching the 2020 election, and what she saw that nobody was addressing The two specific barriers she identified: women not seeing themselves as candidates and the outsized harassment women face when they do run Why DemocraShe pays its participants $15 an hour, and what that teaches young women beyond the paycheck The peer-led model: why the program is built by the girls, for the girls, from the name to the curriculum to the workshops The nervous system tools built into every session: grounding, the inner best friend, savoring, and the Viktor Frankl quote you will want on your vision board Why community over competition has to be taught early, while young women's brains are still neuroplastic Sarah's own story: being told in 2014 she would never work again, and how the same skills she now teaches girls are what got her back up How to Get Involved: Apply to the program: democrashe.org Donate to support paid participation and program access: democrashe.org Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Listen and Subscribe: Spotify Apple Podcasts If this episode fired something up in you, share it with a high school girl in your life. Or a parent. Or a teacher. Or anyone who needs to hear that running for office is a birthright, not a privilege reserved for a certain kind of person.

Brad Stulberg returns to discuss his book Master of Change and the concept of rugged flexibility—combining stability with adaptability to navigate life's transitions. He shares practical frameworks like the 4Ps for managing daily disruptions and Viktor Frankl's tragic optimism for embracing life's inevitable challenges without falling into toxic positivity or despair.

Ronnie concludes his series from the Psalms (while connecting these with more contemporary songs), with this episode entitled, "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen." Using Psalm 86, the African-American spiritual, and the insights of Viktor Frankl, this talk challenges the listener to wisely "choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.”

In this episode, hosts Lee-Sean Huang and Giulia Donatello welcome back Rinat Sherzer—a biotech engineer, transdisciplinary designer, artist, and adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design whose work sits at the intersection of science, technology, and social justice. Together, they discuss the deep human construct of hope, unpacking how it differs from mere wishful thinking and exploring how designers can act as vital conduits for it. Rinat shares her journey from scientific training to social innovation, the unpredictable ripple effects of her global projects, and how she balances multi-sensory design, teaching, and motherhood through an intentional quarterly focus. In This EpisodeThe logic of the backward glance. Rinat shares her journey from biotechnology engineering into tech and ultimately to design for social innovation. Mirroring Steve Jobs' famous sentiment, she notes that the dots of a multidisciplinary career can often only be connected in hindsight. The history and bad rep of hope. When researching the framework of hope for her PhD, Rinat was struck by its historical negativity. From Plato viewing it as an unreliable guide to Nietzsche labeling it the worst of all evils, it wasn't until Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning in 1946 that hope was structurally recognized as a vital resource for human survival. The three dimensions of hope framework. Moving beyond Richard Snyder's purely cognitive, goal-oriented approach, Rinat's framework treats hope as an embodied, immersive experience. It breaks down into three dimensions: the extreme moment (crisis or joy) where hope is born, the greater social good if that hope comes to fruition, and the concrete, physical action an individual can take. Breaking bread and multi-sensory co-design. Rinat breaks down her immersive project, The Rebirth of Hope, which utilizes sound and taste to tap into primal, nonverbal memories. By choosing raw ingredients that resonate with their personal dimensions of hope, participants create a literal "bite of hope" to consume collectively, bridging the deeply personal with the universal synergy of a group. Translating data into human music. The Rebirth of Hope project actively translated participant choices into real-time visual musical scores. By mapping hope attributes to chords, rhythm, and melody, a live band performed the collective, experimental music of the exhibition's audience. The accountability gap in design education. As a faculty member at Parsons, Rinat addresses the split between the theory of "design for good" and the messy reality of execution. She argues that standard academic design thinking often leaves prototyping and testing to the very end, missing the vital skills of real-world implementation, business case development, and multi-team collaboration. The organizing cadence of a year. To juggle a global teaching schedule, running her studio (The Creative Lab), artistic output, and raising her son Luca, Rinat rejects daily micromanagement. Instead, she structures her life by dividing the year into quarters, allowing herself to intensely focus on one major priority at a time while setting strict, non-negotiable boundaries for family.

Some seasons of life just happen to you. The trip gets cancelled. The diagnosis lands. The person you love is suddenly gone - and none of it is fair, and none of it is yours to fix. That feeling - like life is happening to you and you've got no say in it - is, to me, the worst feeling of all. So this week I'm sharing one question I've reached for in my hardest, loneliest, most unfair moments. From my first year in America, crying in an empty apartment, through losing my sister - and through this past year, losing Mum. It's not "stay positive." It's not a silver lining. It's something far more useful, and every time I ask it, it hands me back my sense of agency. I open with a quote from one of my greatest teachers, Dr Viktor Frankl, that completely changed my relationship with life - and then I walk you through exactly how I used this question to climb out of helplessness during one of the loneliest stretches I've lived through. By the end you'll have a simple exercise to do on your own - so you're not just listening this week, you're participating. Grab a pen or your notesapp. Let's get into it.

Sometimes the most powerful tool isn't doing more—it's pausing before you react. Episode #263

"The most depressed, anxious, addicted, and self-destructive generation in American culture—we created this world." In this episode, Matt Bradley (Partnership Manager at WhyFire and Editor of The Fire Time Magazine) makes a provocative argument from his 2026 HPBExpo class: the reason you can't hire or inspire young workers isn't pay, schedules, or time off—it's a culture that's stripped them of meaning. He traces the problem back to Nietzsche and offers an ancient antidote. In this episode, Matt covers: - Why higher pay, flexible schedules, and more paid time off won't fix your hiring problem—and what young people actually crave instead. - The "fortitude formula"—moral purpose times sources of strength—and how Viktor Frankl found meaning in a concentration camp. - Concrete interview questions and shop-floor practices that work, including why you should drop the sarcasm and never assume Gen Z is lazy. Don't miss this one if you've ever caught yourself blaming "kids these days"—Matt argues that mindset is just an easy way to let yourself off the hook, and he hands you a practical playbook to mentor the most capable hires you've been overlooking. —— Links from this episode: WhyFire Fireplace AI Visualizer http://whyfire.com —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nBRD5lY_m7k Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join

En esta ocasión, el programa pone el foco en la salud mental, la vulnerabilidad humana y la capacidad de seguir adelante tras los momentos más difíciles de la vida. Dirigido y presentado por Rosa Vidal, y Bajo el título “Las heridas que nadie ve: la salud mental y la valentía de seguir adelante”, el espacio invita a reflexionar sobre una realidad que afecta a millones de personas y que, durante mucho tiempo, ha permanecido oculta tras el silencio, los prejuicios o la dificultad para expresar el sufrimiento emocional. A lo largo del programa, Rosa Vidal Ross aborda cuestiones como la tristeza profunda, la ansiedad, la incertidumbre, la frustración o la pérdida de ilusión que pueden aparecer en determinadas etapas vitales. También reflexiona sobre la importancia de aceptar la vulnerabilidad como parte de la condición humana, aprender a cerrar ciclos, pedir ayuda cuando es necesario y encontrar nuevas formas de avanzar. La conversación se apoya en las enseñanzas del psiquiatra y filósofo Viktor Frankl, que defendía la capacidad del ser humano para encontrar sentido incluso en las circunstancias más difíciles. Una reflexión que resume una de las ideas centrales del programa: «Cuando ya no podemos cambiar una situación, tenemos el desafío de cambiarnos a nosotros mismos». ‘Siempre nos quedará París' reivindica la importancia de cuidar la salud mental con la misma atención que se presta a la salud física y recuerda que atravesar momentos de oscuridad no significa permanecer en ellos para siempre. Un mensaje de esperanza que pone en valor la resiliencia, el acompañamiento y la posibilidad de volver a empezar.

Why does manifestation that comes in fast so often leave just as fast? In this episode of Spiritualised, Jess Fenton explores the unintegrated masculine, the hidden driver behind impatient manifestation, financial burnout, and the ceiling many spiritual entrepreneurs hit around the seven-figure mark.What you'll learn:The feminine wants things now. The masculine has a healthy relationship with time, patience, structure, and the long view. When that inner masculine (animus) isn't integrated, business and money manifestation gets built on urgency instead of foundation, and what comes in quickly tends to leave just as quickly.Jess connects this to a deeper pattern: our urgency around manifestation is often fear of death in disguise, the sense that if we don't get what we want right now, we'll run out of time to enjoy it. She brings in Viktor Frankl's observations from the concentration camps, where prisoners expecting quick rescue often didn't survive as well as those who settled into the long timeline, as a powerful illustration of why patience regulates the nervous system and tension blocks manifestation.She also names a pattern specific to women in spiritual business: hitting a wall around one to one and a half million in revenue, after building everything on feminine excitement and activation with no masculine structure underneath. The fix isn't less feminine energy. It's giving the inner masculine a job: protecting, providing, planning for legacy, and doing the unglamorous compounding work, so the feminine doesn't have to stay switched on forever to keep money flowing.In this episode:Why collapsing your manifestation timeline can create results built on quicksand. The real link between urgency, fear of death, and your relationship with time. What Viktor Frankl's research reveals about hope, patience, and endurance. Why so many spiritual businesses stall or collapse around the seven-figure mark. What true rest actually means (hint: it isn't your weekend off). How integrating the inner masculine and inner feminine changes your nervous system, your money, and your relationships.www.goinward.co.ukwww.instagram.com/goinward

Just a few months ago, I felt like giving up. I thought, "This is it! Time to throw in the towel and start looking for tech jobs again!" I was losing hundreds of followers a day, and I didn't know what to do about it. I almost gave up. But then I thought about my WHY.   Your why is what will help you keep moving forward. We know this! Our parents have crossed deserts, endured demeaning jobs, and put their children before themselves, all so that the next generation could have a better life. WE were their WHY. And now that we're in a better place, we can start thinking about our why, too.    In this week's episode, we're talking about what to do when you want to give up. Giving up is not an option. We (or at least most of my listeners) are Latina. We are resilient; it's literally in our blood. Now that that is established, how do we get back up after we've been kicked down? I think I figured it out. I've got the results, and I'm sharing them with you in this week's episode of the Chingona Revolution Podcast!

Everybody wants deeper friendships, stronger relationships and a greater sense of belonging. The problem is that most people are searching for connection in comfort, when connection is often forged through challenge.In this episode, Glenn explores why shared hardship creates stronger bonds than convenience ever could, drawing on lessons from the Army, Kokoda, the Youngcare Aussie 10 Peaks Challenge and decades of leadership experience. Supported by insights from Viktor Frankl, Émile Durkheim and modern psychology, this episode will challenge the way you think about friendship, community and personal growth.Key Takeaways Hard roads lead to tight circles. Comfort creates acquaintances. Hardship creates family. The struggle is where trust is earned. Shared hardship accelerates connection. Meaning transforms suffering into growth. Shared identity creates lasting friendships. The view means more when you climbed it together. Stop looking for connection. Start looking for challenge. Go and do hard things with good people.

Diese Folge ist einer der beeindruckendsten Persönlichkeiten des 20. Jahrhunderts gewidmet: dem Neurologen, Psychiater und Begründer der Logotherapie Viktor Frankl. Geprägt von den Erfahrungen der Konzentrationslager entwickelte Frankl eine Philosophie, die den Menschen nicht als Opfer seiner Umstände versteht, sondern als Wesen, das selbst unter schwierigsten Bedingungen die Freiheit besitzt, Haltung zu wählen und Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Im Zentrum seines Denkens steht dabei nicht das Streben nach Glück, Erfolg oder Lust, sondern die Frage nach dem Sinn. Albert und Jan sprechen darüber, warum Sinn für Frankl wichtiger ist als Glück, weshalb Freiheit immer auch Verantwortung bedeutet und wie Menschen selbst in Leid und Krisen Orientierung finden können. Sie diskutieren, ob wir heute eher unter Sinnlosigkeit oder unter einer Überfülle an Möglichkeiten leiden, warum Wohlstand allein kein erfülltes Leben garantiert und was Frankls Denken für eine Zeit von Social Media, Selbstoptimierung und Dauervergleich bedeuten kann. Eine Folge über Freiheit, Verantwortung und die vielleicht wichtigste Frage unseres Lebens: Wofür lohnt es sich zu leben?

Peptides are everywhere. Ozempic won't leave the headlines. And social media seems determined to convince us that the next health breakthrough is only one purchase away. So what's actually worth paying attention to? In this episode, Danielle welcomes celebrity trainer, nutrition scientist, and bestselling author Harley Pasternak for an unfiltered conversation about the biggest wellness trends dominating the internet right now. From peptides and Ozempic to detoxes, supplements, fiber-maxxing, and celebrity health culture, Harley breaks down what's backed by science, what's overhyped, and what's potentially dangerous. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Harley says most peptides being promoted online are essentially an uncontrolled experiment on human beings The surprising reason he trusts Ozempic and GLP-1s, but remains deeply skeptical of most other peptides The scary reality of what's actually being found inside many peptides sold online Why "Big Pharma doesn't want you to know" is often a red flag, not a revelation The wellness trend Harley says has absolutely no evidence behind it How social media created a generation of people taking supplements they can't explain Why Harley changed his mind about Ozempic after years of opposing it The concept of "food noise" and what GLP-1s may actually be doing inside the brain The shocking reason Harley walked away from The Biggest Loser before it became a hit Why focusing on weight loss can make you less healthy (and what to focus on instead) The Viktor Frankl quote that completely changed Harley's approach to health, happiness, and success The lesson about weight loss that most busy people miss Why intermittent fasting may be a lot less revolutionary than you've been led to believe The one form of exercise Harley believes every woman should prioritize—even if she hates it What working with Jessica Simpson, Megan Fox, Halle Berry, and the Kardashians taught Harley about discipline and success In a world obsessed with hacks, shortcuts, and miracle solutions, what Harley says actually works Make sure to follow Harley on Instagram @harleypasternak Check out Harley’s latest book The Carb Reset hereSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few years back, I was feeling so off — so stuck, so lost — that I ended up working with a shaman. I had a bowl of water with salt, herbs, and candles sitting under my bed. My husband walked in and called it salad.   I'm not making this up.   Here's the thing — I did feel better. But my business still wasn't working. Because I was looking at every external thing I could possibly fix and completely missing the one thing that actually needed my attention. Me.   In this episode, I'm getting into something I've been feeling myself lately — and hearing from a lot of people around me. That off feeling. Not knowing what's next. The doubt that creeps in. The habit of blaming the calendar, the costs, the team, the circumstances. And I'm sharing what my mentor said to me that stopped me cold.   You don't need to figure out who you are. You just need to decide.   We talk about how self-doubt hides underneath all that external blame, how your character gets revealed in the hardest moments — not built, revealed — and the question you need to sit with: are you the director of your life, or are you just along for the ride?   We also get into Viktor Frankl and Man's Search for Meaning, because even in the most extreme circumstances imaginable, the one thing no one can take from you is the choice of how you show up.   If you've been feeling off, this one's for you. The answer isn't outside you. It never was.   Key Takeaways: • Self-doubt is hiding underneath all that external blame — the economy, the team, the calendar. The real problem isn't them. It's the story you're telling yourself about what's possible. • You don't need to spend more time figuring out who you are. You need to decide who you are — and then show up as her every single day, even when it's hard. • Character isn't something you have. It's something that gets revealed in moments of challenge and obstacle. How you show up right now is your character being shown to the world. • The circumstances — costs up, people leaving, payroll pressure — those are always going to be there. They show up in different forms. The question is whether you're letting them dictate your belief in yourself. • You can't control the outcome. But you always have control over how you show up in every single moment. That choice is always yours. • Summoning who you are throughout the day isn't soft. It's the thing that actually moves the needle. 'I am the person who...' — repeated even when stuff hits the fan — is what keeps the progress going. • When you decide who you are and how you're going to show up, your team feels it. Projects get done. Opportunities open up. Things start to flow.   Timestamps / Chapter Markers: 00:02   The question that opens everything 02:26   What happened when Theresa worked with a shaman 03:15   'I felt better — but I didn't figure out the business part of it' 04:00   The real diagnosis: it's not an external problem 05:30   'I feel off because I'm too busy' — the chaos loop 07:00   What the real problem is 08:15   What happens when big goals meet self-doubt 09:25   Theresa audits herself — and the whoa moment she didn't see coming 10:30   The morning routine that falls apart with one phone call 11:00   When someone suddenly quits 11:51   Who do you need to become in order to actually achieve these things? 13:00   How it manifests: disengagement, broken follow-through, everything on the back burner 13:58   Circumstances, challenges, obstacles — they're always going to be there.

A fellow founder, a leader on your team, a friend who's been feeling off and can't quite name it.   We don't always know how to say, 'I'm struggling,' but sometimes we can hand someone a podcast episode and say, listen to this.   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

Ceci est un épisode Solo et donc une lecture de ma newsletter à laquelle vous pouvez vous abonner juste ici - Je vous invite également à participer à ma cagnotte sur Tipeee, c'est juste là.j'ai beaucoup approché ce sujet sans jamais en parler directement alors dans cet épisode, je parle de l'épuisement systémique, pas de fatigue passagère. J'interroge l'incertitude comme carburant silencieux de notre surcharge cognitive, l'accélération décrite par Hartmut Rosa, la pression financière documentée par Antoine Foucher, le capitalisme de la jouissance analysé par Michel Clouscard, la machine à attention qui se nourrit de notre peur, et l'isolement silencieux de nos grandes villes. J'ai questionné aussi le grand mensonge de la productivité, et ce que Viktor Frankl, Pablo Servigne, Byung Chul Han et Olivier Hamant ont chacun à nous dire sur comment traverser ça sans se noyer. Et je finis par trois directions concrètes, pas des solutions miracles, juste des pas de côté qui permettent de ne pas s'épuiser à nager à contre-courant.Citations marquantes"Notre réponse à l'épuisement est presque toujours la même : on essaie de trouver une méthode pour optimiser. Et c'est là que ça devient pathétique, parce que même ceux qui veulent ralentir adorent une méthode pour le faire rapidement.""L'amygdale ne fait pas vraiment la différence entre 'un lion va me dévorer' et 'je ne sais pas ce qui va se passer dans six mois avec mon boulot, mon loyer, la géopolitique, l'IA ou le prix de l'énergie.' Les deux produisent de l'épuisement.""On n'a jamais été aussi optimisé et pourtant on n'a jamais eu aussi peu de temps.""L'ennui est biologiquement plus proche de l'énergie que de la léthargie. Le vide n'est pas un problème à remplir, c'est une condition nécessaire à la pensée profonde.""L'épuisement que vous ressentez n'est pas une faiblesse. C'est une réponse rationnelle à un système qui n'est pas conçu pour l'humain."Idées centrales 1. L'épuisement est systémique, pas personnel Ce n'est pas parce que vous êtes mal organisé ou pas assez zen. Nous sommes collectivement victimes d'un système qui n'est pas conçu pour l'humain, avec des ressources inégales pour y faire face. L'individualiser, c'est exactement ce que le système veut qu'on fasse. [~03:00]2. Notre cerveau est une machine à prédire coincée dans un monde imprévisible Pendant des millions d'années, l'anticipation était une question de survie. Aujourd'hui, cette même mécanique tourne en surchauffe permanente face à des menaces diffuses et globales qu'elle ne peut ni identifier clairement ni neutraliser. C'est là que commence l'épuisement, bien avant le surmenage. [~06:30]3. Trois accélérations simultanées qui se renforcent Hartmut Rosa distingue l'accélération technique, l'accélération du changement social et l'accélération du rythme de vie lui-même. Nous vivons les trois en même temps, sans jamais avoir le temps de nous adapter à l'une avant que la suivante arrive. [~12:00]4. La productivité vendue comme remède est souvent une cause supplémentaire L'ennui n'est pas de la paresse, c'est une émotion fonctionnelle qui prépare biologiquement le corps à l'action et ouvre la porte à la créativité. Remplir chaque vide par une stimulation externe, c'est se priver de la condition nécessaire à la pensée profonde. [~22:00]5. Le contrat du travail est rompu, et on fait semblant de ne pas le voir Pendant les Trente Glorieuses, on doublait son niveau de vie en 15 ans. Aujourd'hui, il faut 84 ans, soit deux vies de travail. Ce n'est pas une opinion, c'est documenté. Et continuer à courir plus vite dans ce contexte s'appelle de l'épuisement par définition. [~17:00]6. Nager en perpendiculaire plutôt qu'à contre-courant Résister frontalement épuise. Comme dans une baïne, la bonne réponse n'est pas de nager vers la plage mais à la perpendiculaire. Silence, soutien, sens : trois mouvements latéraux qui permettent de sortir sans s'y laisser noyer. [~28:00]Questions structurantes de l'épisodePourquoi notre réponse instinctive à l'épuisement est-elle toujours de chercher une méthode pour l'optimiser ?En quoi l'incertitude du monde contemporain active-t-elle les mêmes mécanismes que la menace physique dans notre cerveau ?Qu'est-ce que Hartmut Rosa entend exactement par "immobilisme frénétique" et en quoi ça décrit notre condition ?Comment le passage de la "société disciplinaire" de Foucault à la "société de la performance" a-t-il transformé la domination en auto-exploitation ?Pourquoi les médias et les algorithmes ont-ils intérêt à nous maintenir dans la peur plutôt que dans la réalité des chiffres ?Ce que nous avons sacrifié à vivre en grande ville mérite-t-il vraiment qu'on ne le questionne pas ?L'ennui est-il vraiment une ressource productive que l'on a collectivement décidé de détruire ?Comment Viktor Frankl trouvait-il du sens dans les camps de concentration, et qu'est-ce que ça nous dit sur notre propre rapport à l'adversité ?En quoi la "résonance" de Rosa est-elle incompatible avec le contrôle et la performance ?Qu'est-ce que vous faites parce que vous en avez envie, et qu'est-ce que vous faites parce que vous avez peur de ne pas le faire ?Références citéesPersonnesPablo Servigne (chercheur sur l'effondrement, invité de Vlan!) : "La vie danse toujours au bord du chaos.

[~21:00]SourcesCentre d'observation de la société : données sur l'évolution de l'insécurité en France [~24:00]Timestamps clés (optimisés YouTube)00:00 - Le bracelet connecté et le piège de l'optimisation J'ai voulu mieux écouter mon corps. J'ai obtenu un tableau de bord qui me disait si je méritais d'être fatigué. La réponse à l'épuisement est presque toujours la même : trouver une méthode. Et c'est là que tout déraille.03:00 - L'épuisement n'est pas un problème personnel Ce n'est pas parce que vous êtes mal organisé ou pas assez zen. C'est un épuisement systémique, dont nous sommes tous victimes à des degrés divers. L'industrie du développement personnel, 1.500 milliards de dollars, s'est construite exactement sur ce mensonge.05:30 - Pablo Servigne et le chaos comme condition du vivant "L'opposé du chaos, c'est la mort." Si c'est vrai, alors nous ne nous épuisons pas du chaos lui-même, mais de l'énergie colossale que nous dépensons à tenter de le fuir.07:00 - L'amygdale et le lion derrière le rocher Notre cerveau ne distingue pas entre une menace physique et l'incertitude géopolitique, économique ou climatique. Les deux produisent la même mobilisation d'urgence. Répétée sur des années, cette mobilisation s'appelle de l'épuisement.09:00 - L'anxiété cartésienne de Donna Brothers La pensée occidentale a construit un idéal de certitude. Quand on ne le trouve pas, on ne souffre pas de l'incertitude elle-même, mais de la collision entre ce qui est et ce qu'on croit qui devrait être.11:30 - Hartmut Rosa et les trois accélérations Technique, sociale, rythme de vie. Elles se renforcent mutuellement et nous n'avons jamais le temps de nous adapter à l'une avant que la suivante arrive. "On court de plus en plus vite pour rester sur place."16:30 - Le contrat du travail est rompu Pendant les Trente Glorieuses, on doublait son niveau de vie en 15 ans. Aujourd'hui, il faut 84 ans. Deux vies de travail. Ce n'est pas une opinion. C'est la réalité documentée qu'Antoine Foucher résume dans son titre.18:30 - De Foucault à Byung Chul Han : l'auto-exploitation Le passage de "tu dois" à "tu peux" est la mutation la plus insidieuse du système. Nous ne sommes plus soumis à une contrainte externe, mais à une injonction permanente à nous dépasser, au nom de notre liberté.20:00 - Le désir mimétique et Instagram Rousseau l'avait vu avant tout le monde : "on est heureux qu'avant d'être heureux." René Girard a théorisé le reste. Et Instagram est la machine à désir mimétique la plus efficace jamais construite.22:30 - Reed Hastings et le marché de l'attention "Notre plus grand concurrent est le sommeil." Ce marché n'est pas construit sur votre plaisir, mais sur votre peur. Peur de rater, d'être déclassé, d'être moins compétent. Et les médias ont appris à amplifier cette peur parce que ça marche.25:00 - Seuls dans la ville Sherry Turkle, trente ans au MIT : on peut être hyperconnecté et ne jamais vraiment rencontrer personne. Plus une ville est grande, plus elle rend seul. Et chaque interaction avec un inconnu est une donnée qui échappe aux plateformes.27:00 - Le grand mensonge de la productivité L'ennui est biologiquement plus proche de l'énergie que de la léthargie. C'est une émotion fonctionnelle qui prépare le corps à l'action. Remplir chaque vide par une stimulation, c'est se priver de la condition nécessaire à la pensée profonde.29:30 - Olivier Hamant et la robustesse Un arbre ne transforme que 1% de la lumière qu'il capte.

After a break with family and a slower pace of life, Josh returns with some existential questions, one in particular that's been sitting heavy: Am I conforming to what everyone else around me is doing, or am I "appointing" my time well with the people who need me most? Drawing from Isaiah 43, Psalm 90, and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Josh walks through what it looks like to grieve the past well, release the assignments of old, and step fully into the season God has for your family right now. He further unpacks how sweetening retrospect—or nostalgically living in the past—can breed depression, how anxiety about the future keeps us from the present, and why the mundane drive-time moments are shaping the hearts of your children more than you realize. A practical, honest reset if you're catching yourself distracted or not as intentional as you wish you might be.  ** Thank you to Bernhardt Watches for sponsoring this episode!

Was ist der Sinn des Lebens? Zu dieser Frage hielt Viktor Frankl bereits mit 16 Jahren seinen ersten Vortrag. Sie blieb der rote Faden seiner Arbeit. Aus Gesprächen mit Selbstmordkandidatinnen und mit Schülern am Tag der Zeugnisvergabe zog der österreichische Psychiater den Schluss, dass der Mensch über einen "Willen zum Sinn" verfügt und seelisch erkrankt, wenn sein Sinnbedürfnis frustriert wird. Eine Theorie, die er durch die eigenen Erfahrungen in deutschen Konzentrationslagern bestätigt fand. Ein Podcast von Justina Schreiber

Send us Fan MailMost people spend their entire lives thinking, but very few ever stop to examine the thoughts they're allowing to shape their lives.In this episode, I unpack a powerful lesson from Napoleon Hill that completely changed the way I think about thinking. We dive into the difference between auto-suggestion—where you intentionally select the material that shapes your mind—and suggestion—where you allow other people, circumstances, media, gossip, fear, and limitations to do the thinking for you. You'll discover why your thoughts are the one thing no one can take from you, how outside influences quietly shape your beliefs, and why the quality of your life is often determined by the quality of the thoughts dominating your mind. We also connect these ideas to lessons from Viktor Frankl and explore how thought control may be the closest thing we have to personal freedom. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, uncertain, or stuck in a cycle of reacting rather than creating, this episode will help you bring awareness to what's happening in your head and remind you that you have more control than you think.Because the future you're building starts with the thoughts you're allowing today.The key you've been searching for has been in your hands the whole time. Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.Support the show

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM727_MDM_May16_26.mp3   Hope is not a strategy — and I think most people know this somewhere deep down, but they’ve never stopped to examine what it’s actually costing them. In this episode, I use the extraordinary true story of Ernest Shackleton’s 1915 Antarctic expedition to show exactly what it looks like when a leader refuses to let hope become the plan — and what happens instead.Hope Is Not a Strategy: The Lesson Shackleton Already KnewWhen Shackleton’s ship, The Endurance, became locked in Antarctic ice in 1915, there was no rescue coming. No technology. No timeline. What he understood — and what Viktor Frankl later documented in Man’s Search for Meaning — is that people who attach their emotional survival to a hoped-for outcome are the most fragile people in the room. Frankl could identify the prisoners who would die first in the concentration camps. They were the ones who had pinned everything to a specific date — Christmas, a promised release. When that date passed, they fell apart. So did Shackleton’s carpenter, who began to spread dissent among the crew. Shackleton stopped it immediately. He understood that one person’s emotional collapse, if left unchecked, could kill everyone. The lesson isn’t that hope is bad. It’s that hope as your primary psychological strategy is dangerous. It keeps you on the edge of fear — one disappointment away from crashing. Hope Is Not a Strategy — Present-Moment Living IsWhat Shackleton’s crew did instead is something I’ve watched the most successful people I’ve ever coached do in their own lives. They didn’t just survive Antarctica — they lived there. They played football on the ice. They put on theatrical performances. They took care of their sled dogs. They chose to make the experience of being where they were as full and human as possible, while using the goal of getting home as direction — not salvation. I see this same pattern play out for entrepreneurs and business owners every week. When a sale falls through, when the numbers don’t match the picture in your head, when you get a bad review or a rejection — the people relying on hope crash. The people living fully in the moment, with understanding and awareness instead of hope, stay stable. That stability is what keeps your frequency aligned with what you’re building. When your emotions drop, your vibration drops, and you begin attracting more of what you don’t want. What Disappointment Is Really Telling YouDisappointment is a hidden expectation. Every time you feel it, it’s a signal that somewhere underneath, you were relying on a specific outcome to be okay. That’s hope doing its quiet damage. The shift I’m teaching here is from hope to understanding — from ‘I’m surviving until things change’ to ‘I’m fully alive in what is, while moving toward what’s next.’ Your goal gives you direction. But who you become in the journey is the whole point. If you’ve been riding the emotional highs and lows of your business or your life — this episode is the conversation that reorients everything.

Zach sits down with Kate and Cole Kelly, married co-directors of Camp Equahic in northeastern Pennsylvania and the authors behind the relationship practice they built almost by accident: Three Happys and an Appreciation. What started as a long-distance dating ritual, Kate asking Cole to name three things that made him happy each day just so she could get to know him, became the through line of a 25-year marriage, a shared business, three sons, and a camp community that now serves 450 kids per session from 15 states and 14 countries.The conversation moves across a lot of terrain. Cole grew up in Athens, Georgia, went to Dartmouth, coached golf at the University of Virginia, and came to camp life through Kate, who had already found her footing running a boarding school and never wanted to be in a classroom. Together they took over a camp that was quietly dying after a family ownership dispute, grew it back from the ground up, and built their philosophy around three values they believe transcend religion, background, and age: gratitude, attitude, and courage. Along the way they layered in everything from Viktor Frankl and Tony Robbins to Alison Armstrong's research on how men and women communicate differently, and applied all of it to the work of staying close while also running a business that puts 675 souls in their care every summer.The emotional center of this episode is surprisingly practical. Kate and Cole are not people who talk about their marriage in abstractions. They talk about the appreciation Cole had to ask for because Kate was falling asleep before he got it. They talk about what it cost Kate for Cole to travel most of the year meeting families in person, and why they kept doing it anyway. They built a coming-of-age ritual for their three boys because there was no secular equivalent to a bar mitzvah and they thought someone should. Their oldest son Cole Jr. is getting married this summer at camp, with half the wedding party made up of his childhood bunkmates. This episode is a portrait of two people who decided very early that marriage is a practice, not a feeling, and then built the systems to prove it.Key TakeawaysGratitude is a skill, not a mood. Building a daily habit of noticing what is good, no matter how small, physically changes how you see your partner and your life.The appreciation piece is the one that often gets resisted most and matters most. Telling your partner specifically what you noticed and valued about them that day is different from a general "I love you," and it hits differently too.Scanning for the good in your partner is something you have to train yourself to do. It does not happen naturally for most people. The three happys practice creates the conditions for it.Men and women often process differently, and understanding that is an attitude adjustment in itself. Cole stopped resisting Kate's multi-threaded thinking when he understood it was not chaos; it was wiring.Courage in marriage looks less like big dramatic moments and more like saying the hard thing, asking for help, or admitting you do not have it today.Kids grow by being allowed to fail. Snowplowing the obstacles out of their path also removes the muscle they need to handle real life.Consistency beats perfection. The three happys practice works not because every night is meaningful but because doing it every night makes the meaningful nights possible.A system is not a substitute for connection. It is the container that makes connection repeatable.Guest InfoKate Kelly is the co-director and operational backbone of Camp Weequahic, one of the top co-ed overnight camps in the country. A former boarding school educator, Kate has spent over two decades building systems, leading staff, and quietly running the kind of operation that camp families trust with their kids for up to six weeks at a time. She and Cole are co-authors of the book Three Happys and an Appreciation, available in both a family edition and a couples edition on Amazon.Cole Kelly is the co-director of Camp Weequahic and the front-facing voice of the Kelly family's camp community. A Dartmouth graduate with a background in sports psychology and golf coaching, Cole spends much of the year traveling the country to meet prospective families in person, a practice he refuses to give up despite the flight miles it costs him. He is a student of Tony Robbins, Viktor Frankl, and Alison Armstrong, and has spent years thinking intentionally about how to raise good men, including building a secular coming-of-age program for his three sons and a cohort of their fathers.Website: https://weequahic.com Podcast and relationship resources: https://campfireconversation.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Isn't Everyone Using Their Pleasure Consciously? with Jeremy Lipkowitz What if the thing quietly hijacking your focus, your relationships, and your capacity for joy isn't a character flaw, but a billion-dollar industry deliberately engineering your addiction? In this episode, Emily Fletcher sits down with Jeremy Lipkowitz, Duke-trained researcher, former Buddhist monk, and founder of Unhooked Academy, where he helps men break free from porn addiction and reclaim their inner freedom. Jeremy's story begins at age six and escalates through the rise of high-speed internet until, by college, the habit had become a one-to-two-hour nightly ritual - despite him being a high-achieving student with what looked, from the outside, like a genuinely good life. That gap between the outer and the inner is exactly what this conversation explores. They trace the neurological pathway from innocent curiosity to compulsive behavior, unpack the precise distinction between lust and desire, and name the Viktor Frankl principle at the heart of all addiction recovery. Emily offers the Ziva lens: why you cannot manifest from a nervous system still running on craving and lack, and how meditation is the prerequisite for desire that is truly intuitive rather than compulsive. In this episode, they explore: – The three A's of porn addiction: affordability, accessibility, and anonymity – How repeated porn use hardwires dissatisfaction and chronic lack into the brain – Lust vs. desire — and why you need a spiritual practice to tell them apart – "Pleasure is inevitable. Happiness is optional." What that reframe changes – The Viktor Frankl principle: between stimulus and response is where freedom lives – Why porn addiction is a microcosm of every modern addiction – The two-step exercise Jeremy uses with clients: default future vs. dream future – How the porn industry became bigger than all U.S. professional sports combined Key Moments: 02:08 — Introducing Jeremy Lipkowitz 09:00 — High-speed internet and the moment a habit became an addiction 12:20 — The walk that changed Jeremy's life 14:00 — Lust vs. desire: the distinction that changes everything 26:25 — Between stimulus and response lies your freedom 33:54 — Pleasure vs. happiness: the most important distinction Jeremy has ever learned 43:47 — Bliss is any feeling fully felt 57:00 — The two-step exercise for any addiction 01:00:00 — The billion-dollar industry engineering your addiction About Jeremy Lipkowitz Jeremy Lipkowitz is a Duke-trained researcher, former Buddhist monk, and founder of Unhooked Academy. After completing 20 Vipassana retreats and a monastic ordination in Myanmar, he built a platform to help men break free from compulsive behavior and reclaim their inner freedom. His work bridges neuroscience, Buddhist psychology, and practical recovery tools. Podcast: Unhooked Breaking Porn Addiction PodcastWebsite: unhookedacademy.com This episode is a perfect window into the work we've been building toward at Ziva. The craving, the longing, the thing pulling you toward what doesn't actually fill you — Jeremy calls it lust. We have a different name for it. And we have a practice for transmuting it into something that does. Something new is forming this summer. Get on the list to hear about it first.

One day your life will be summarized by a single line. A beginning date.An ending date.And a dash in between. The question is: What are you doing with your dash? On this episode of Like It Matters Radio, Mr. Black delivers a direct challenge about purpose, legacy, leadership, and eternity. Because life is not measured by possessions, titles, or status. It is measured by people. Who are you helping? Who is breathing easier because you lived? Who is stronger because your life intersected with theirs? What are you building that will outlive you? Drawing from Isaiah 61, Luke 4, Viktor Frankl, Stephen Covey, and the book of Job, Mr. Black breaks down the deeper meaning behind being in the People Business. Not using people.Not managing people.Building people. This episode explores the powerful CARE Framework: Cultivate Potential Align Hearts & Purpose Restore Healthy Culture Empower Ownership Because when people feel cared for: commitment rises engagement deepens cultures heal performance improves Mr. Black also examines the three failed comforters in the book of Job: Eliphaz the traditionalist Bildad the legalist Zophar the accuser Together they reveal what happens when leaders choose explanation over compassion, certainty over mercy, and systems over people. This powerful episode also features interviews with four recent graduates of the Leadership Awakening class, sharing firsthand how the experience impacted their mindset, relationships, leadership, faith, and direction in life. Their stories bring the message of transformation out of theory and into real life. This is an emotional, challenging, and deeply personal episode about becoming the kind of leader, parent, mentor, spouse, and friend who leaves behind more than success. A life fully spent.A dash that mattered. Because at the end of life, the question will not simply be: “What did you accomplish?” But rather: “What on earth were you doing?” Inspiration. Education. Application.When you live your life like it matters… it does.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dean Hall was sick, grieving, and without hope — until he made a decision that changed everything: find something worth living for. In this powerful encore release from the Biological Blueprint, Dean joins Freddie to explore the terrain that no lab test can measure — purpose, spirit, and the courage to take just one more step. Drawing on Viktor Frankl's observations from Auschwitz, Dean reveals why it wasn't the strongest or the smartest who survived the unsurvivable — it was those most passionately tied to a purpose larger than themselves. He walks through his three pillars for navigating a dark night of the soul: releasing the need for perfection, trusting the body's innate ability to heal what it created, and the radical simplicity of asking yourself only one question — what is the next step? Whether you're 180 miles into an open water swim or sitting with a diagnosis that just changed your life, Dean's answer is always the same: you already know. The second half of this conversation goes into territory rarely explored in health and wellness — transgenerational trauma, family systems therapy, and the epigenetic wounds passed silently from generation to generation. Dean shares how he's only recently begun mapping his own ancestral lineage, from a 14-year-old great grandmother who crossed the ocean alone from Sweden to fishermen and brawlers from Northern England — and how forest bathing and cold water immersion have become his most powerful tools for releasing what isn't his to carry. He also shares a profoundly simple breathwork and prayer practice he has used with thousands of clients over 20 years — a tool he calls centering down — that uses the brain's hardwired need to answer every question it's asked to surface your deepest purpose. One hundred percent of people who stick with it through the frustration, he says, find their answer. This one is worth a second listen.   Episode Highlights [02:13] – Dean shares the world-record swims that reshaped his life after cancer [06:36] – How mindfulness and purpose helped him endure extreme physical suffering [10:20] – The sudden brain cancer diagnosis that took his wife's life in just 52 days [14:20] – Losing his identity after grief and feeling completely disconnected from himself [20:52] – Discovering leukemia during a routine knee surgery workup [24:30] – Viktor Frankl's work on meaning becomes a turning point in Dean's recovery [31:00] – Why swimming the Willamette River became a mission bigger than himself [41:22] – Attempting the 187-mile swim while living with active leukemia and lymphoma [46:47] – How cold water immersion unexpectedly changed his mental and physical health [51:20] – The shocking blood test that showed his leukemia had disappeared [58:14] – Forest bathing, natural killer cells, and the role of nature in healing [01:03:20] – How grief finally began leaving his body in the forest [01:07:20] – Dean's philosophy of “BioWild Psychology” and reconnecting with nature [01:15:22] – Why people facing illness must become active participants in their healing   Links & Resources: Dean's Website: https://www.thewildcureway.com/ “The Wild Cure” book: https://www.thewildcureway.com/books   Upgrade Your Health The Biological Blueprint Course: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprint Earn 200 in BitCoin + Change your health BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 Code: beautifullybroken Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if your greatest obstacle is actually your greatest qualification?This week, Jon Goehring and Coach Jim Johnson welcome Diana Fritz, dynamic executive leader, cancer thriver, Maxwell Leadership certified coach, and author of Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified, for one of the most moving and genuinely inspiring conversations the Lounge has ever had.Diana opens with a story about her grandmother that sets the tone for everything that follows. A woman who chose joy no matter what life brought her, who could make anyone feel seen and loved, and whose smile Diana has made it her life's mission to carry forward. From there she shares what her first basketball coach taught her about mental toughness, accountability, and the kind of teamwork that shows up in a boardroom just as powerfully as it does on a court.The conversation shifts into Diana's cancer diagnosis, which arrived 12 years ago, thirty days into the year she turned forty, right in the middle of a separation, an executive role, and single motherhood. What she did with that news is a masterclass in proactive leadership. Drawing on Viktor Frankl and Stephen Covey, two books she was assigned in college and never forgot, Diana made a decision that her cancer would refine her rather than define her, and has been living that out every day since.Jon and Coach dig into the practical tools Diana uses to lead herself before leading anyone else, including her daily five AM reflection practice, her journaling habits built over decades, and the way she uses gratitude not as a buzzword but as a daily discipline that keeps her anchored when everything around her is uncertain.Diana also shares a masterclass on DISC, breaking down all four personality styles and explaining how understanding them transformed her relationships with the high D personalities who used to frustrate her most, and how she now uses DISC workshops to help entire organizations appreciate what makes each person different rather than fight about it.The episode closes with a powerful message for anyone who thinks they have nothing unique to offer. Diana makes the case that every scar, every struggle, and every obstacle you are working through right now is uniquely qualifying you to reach someone else who needs exactly what you have learned. And one person, she reminds us, is always enough to make it worth it.Whether you are leading through your own hard season, trying to build a team that truly works together, or just need a reminder that joy is always a choice even when circumstances are not, this episode will stay with you long after it ends.Connect with Diana: grituiuq.comGrab Uniquely Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Uniquely-Imperfect-Qualified-Adversity-Imperfection/dp/1636804306Connect with Diana on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diana-fritz-b032064/

Send us Fan MailRachel Goldberg-Polin on Faith, Grief, and Meaning After Hersh's Captivity | From the Inside OutHosts Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein interview educator and author Rachel Goldberg-Polin about her book When We See You Again, her family's life in Jerusalem, and the loss of her son Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage from the Nova Music Festival on October 7 and later murdered after 328 days in captivity. Rachel recounts her path into Orthodox Jewish life starting in eighth grade at an Orthodox day school, describes how tefillah and Torah have sustained her, and shares how Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning—relayed to her through released hostage Or Levy—became a tool for enduring suffering by finding purpose. She discusses Modeh Ani, trust in Hashem amid uncertainty, grief as an expression of love, “toxic positivity” versus “tragic optimism,” and verses and teachings that frame this world as a hallway to the next.EPISODE SPONSORSColel Chabad Colel Chabad is one of Israel's oldest continuously operating charities, supporting families with food security, widows & orphans, and emergency relief.  Their Pushka (Charity Box) App makes it easy to turn inspiration into action with simple daily giving—small “micro-donations” that add up to real impact over time.

The Counter Momentum of Spin, with Dr. Franco Musio – Pain and suffering shape human experience through meaning, courage, and wisdom. Drawing on Nietzsche, Viktor Frankl, and Nelson Mandela, the discussion explores how hardship can deepen resilience, reveal purpose, and transform personal trials into spiritual growth, moral insight, and a stronger capacity to weather life's most difficult storms with hope...

Edith Eger was only 16 years old when the Nazis invaded Hungary during World War II. Her future was ripped from her when she and her family were imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp. Edith's parents were sent to the gas chambers immediately – but Edith survived, forced to entertain Dr Mengele – known as the Angel of Death – until she survived the death march. For many years after, Edith struggled with her past, rife with horror and trauma. It was only after reading Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning that Edith stopped running from her trauma and faced it head on. When we interviewed her, Dr. Edith Eger was a 93-year-old clinician, speaker and author who is so full of wisdom and light, we could've done ten episodes with her. She passed away on April 27th, 2026, but her light, her words, and her impact will live on forever.

Most everyone knows the story of holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl who wrote the book, Man's Search For Meaning. In the book he shares his journey of finding meaning, purpose, and peace even as a prisoner in a concentration camp. A primary message he had for humanity was that regardless of circumstances, we have the freedom to choose our attitude in any situation. He feels this is what kept him alive while most around him died. But when the time came when Viktor was freed from his prison, he didn't stay there, saying he'd found peace and was good. He left to embrace the comforts and security of freedom. We as humans seem to inherently desire just that, comfort and security. I don't see that changing, and I'm not criticizing this, as I wake most mornings safe and sound in the comforts of my nice home full of all the latest amenities. But like Viktor, I want my core comfort and security to reside within me so that in times of hardship and uncertainty, I'm not devastated. We live in a time where we don't seem to be doing ok if things aren't certain for us. And they can't be. And as time goes on I align with the quote, “The more I learn the less I know,” usually attributed to Albert Einstein or Socrates. I find less and less that I can claim certainty with. But I'm also finding more peace than ever by accepting, not knowing. My guest in this episode is Simone Stolzoff. Simone is an author and journalist who explores big questions about work, meaning, and identity. He is the author of two books: The Good Enough Job and now, and the reason for me inviting him onto the show, he has written the book, How To Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty In a World That Demands Answers. Simone's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and on the TED stage, and I found that many of the influential leaders I've had on this podcast follow Simone's research and work. Here we don't discount our desire for certainty, but dig into how we can remain secure when we are not certain. I'll add that I'm growing more distrusting of those who claim certainty, and at the point of rejecting the concept.
