This episode examines the declining male labor force participation rate in America, which has fallen to its lowest level since 1948, with roughly one in three men no longer working or seeking work. While mainstream explanations point to manufacturing decline, an aging population, and the opioid crisis, host John Odermatt argues that a decade of DEI policies has systematically pushed men—especially white men—out of industries across corporate America, academia, media, and tech. Drawing on Jacob Savage's viral Compact Magazine article "The Lost Generation" and survey data from hiring managers themselves, the episode presents sector-by-sector evidence of documented hiring discrimination. Odermatt shares his own experience of being pushed out of corporate America and reframes the crisis not as a story of victimhood, but as a call for men to build income streams they control—through entrepreneurship, skilled trades, and commission-based work. The episode closes with a challenge to listeners: stop building your life on a foundation someone else can pull out from under you.

A high salary can feel like freedom.But if it keeps you from building the life and ownership you actually want, it can become a very expensive trap.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why walking away from a strong corporate income can be harder than leaving a bad job—and why long-term ownership may require sacrificing short-term comfort.The paycheck is visible.The opportunity cost is not.Every year spent building someone else's equity may be another year you are delaying the asset you could be building for yourself.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why a comfortable salary can make it harder to pursue bigger goals• How to think about the hidden opportunity cost of staying in a corporate role• Why ownership can create more long-term upside than income alone• How calculated risk and delayed gratification support the transition into entrepreneurshipThe truth is simple:A good salary can still become a limitation.Know what you are giving up.Run the numbers.Build the plan.Then decide whether the security you have today is worth the future opportunity you may be sacrificing.True wealth is not just earning more.It is owning more of what you build.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

Clara first came to me for fitness coaching in 2023. Almost immediately, our work expanded into performance coaching and business mentorship. What started with training quickly became about much more than fitness.For the next two years, I had the privilege of supporting her through one of the biggest transitions of her life.When we first started working together, Clara knew something in her life wasn't right, but she couldn't put it into words. She had spent six years living and working on a boat in the Netherlands with the same partner she'd been with for 20 years. From the outside, she had built a beautiful life. On the inside, she knew she had outgrown it.Over the next two years, she made one difficult decision after another. At 41, she left the relationship, walked away from the business, moved into the first apartment ever in her own name, and started building a life that reflected who she had become. Today, she's also building T-Circles, a community centered around tea, meditation, and meaningful connection.In this episode, we talk about:• Leaving a 20-year relationship without turning the other person into the villain• What performance coaching and business mentorship looked like during one of the biggest transitions of her life• Staying consistent with your health while your life is changing• Building a business that's aligned with who you are today• Finding your voice after years of putting yourself second• Why starting over at 41 became the best decision she ever madeThis episode is about more than leaving a relationship. It's about having the courage to stop living a life that no longer fits and creating one that does.If you've been feeling like something in your life is off, but you can't quite explain it, I think you'll see yourself in Clara's story.Book your complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation here:

It's being blamed on onerous contracts and stressful working conditions. Bus and Coach Association CEO Delaney Myers says Kiwi drivers are attractive to operators because they don't need visas to work, so employing them is cost-effective.

In this thought-provoking episode, Reagan Kramer sits down with Christa Black Singh for Part 2 of an honest conversation about spiritual warfare, healing, and Christ's relentless pursuit of those who have wandered. Drawing from her own journey out of the New Age, Christa shares how God used years of deception, brokenness, and ultimately redemption to reveal His love and transform her life. Together, they explore topics such as generational patterns, bloodlines, DNA, prayer, communion, the "second heaven," spiritual discernment, and why Christians must learn to hear God's voice with wisdom and biblical conviction. The conversation also offers hope for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayers, infertility, trauma, divorce, or prodigal loved ones. Christa explains how her parents' faithful prayers, fasting, and unwavering trust in God became part of her journey back to Christ, reminding listeners that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. Whether you're searching for deeper spiritual understanding or encouragement to keep believing for breakthrough, this episode is a powerful reminder that Jesus is always pursuing His children, bringing healing, redemption, and hope even in life's darkest seasons.

"This was very much an aesthetic concept in renaissance Italy; the three natures. The sort of ornamented nature, the cultivated nature and then the wild. So I've always thought about that as a fairly key principle. There comes a point where you've just got to sort of let up on the tiller a bit, and that it's lovely to grow dahlias and tulips outside your door but for God's sake there comes a point where you've just got to stop!"Legendary garden designer Tom Stuart-Smith is Ben Goldsmith's latest guest on Rewilding the World. Tom and Ben debate the growing trend for wilder gardening, and opposition to it from the likes of Alan Titchmarsh and Monty Don. Ben Goldsmith is a British financier and rewilding enthusiast.

What happens when someone wakes up and starts to question their entire life? He was MAGA, happily patriarchal and deep in evangelicalism, but one day he began to question it all. In this episode of Honoring the Journey, Leslie chats with Steven Francisi, founder of Healing Roots On Up and author of From A-Hole to All Right. Steven shares a raw and wide-ranging story that begins with a difficult childhood in New York marked by inconsistent parenting, feeling like an outsider in his own Italian family due to his red hair and fair skin, and early trauma that led to a suicide attempt at 16. He joined the Navy at 17 partly to earn his father's approval, later got drawn into evangelical Christianity through an Amway meeting, and spent years in high-control religious environments that deepened his shame while masking his unresolved trauma. After a serious motorcycle accident in 2015 that left him with a traumatic brain injury, a subsequent marriage breakdown, and a second suicidal crisis, Steven finally entered trauma-informed therapy through the VA, where he experienced a breakthrough moment of grief that unlocked decades of suppressed emotion. Through therapy, a close friendship with a younger, non-Christian man, and reading works like The Power of Myth, Steven began deconstructing not just his faith but also his patriarchal worldview and far-right political identity, including walking away from the MAGA movement. The conversation is an honest, compassionate exploration of shame, healing, masculinity, religious trauma, and what it means to become a whole person. Get his book, From A-Hole to Alright HERE.

Series: 2026: Walking In The LightService: Sun PMType: SermonSpeaker: Josh McKibben
In January 2025, experienced climber Thomas Plamberger and his girlfriend, 33-year-old Kerstin Gurtner, set out to climb Austria's tallest mountain via the technical Stüdlgrat route. As a winter storm moved in, temperatures dropped below zero and visibility disappeared, but the couple continued climbing despite worsening conditions. Even after a rescue helicopter repeatedly flew overhead, Thomas never signaled that they needed help. Just 50 meters below the summit, Kerstin became too exhausted and disoriented to continue. Thomas later said they agreed he would climb over the summit and descend the easier route while she waited. Prosecutors argued he abandoned her without leaving vital emergency gear, then didn't call for help until he reached a mountain hut hours later. By the time rescuers reached Kerstin the following morning, she had died from exposure. Investigators used GPS data, rescue call records, and witness testimony to challenge Thomas's version of events. The court also heard from an ex-girlfriend who testified that Thomas had abandoned her on the same mountain years earlier. In 2026, he was convicted of grossly negligent manslaughter after the judge ruled that, as the more experienced climber, he had a duty to protect Kerstin and that his decisions contributed to her death. #TrueCrimeRecaps #AlpineDivorce #ThomasPlamberger #KerstinGurtner #MountainTragedy #Hiking Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you go silent mid-argument and only find the words hours later in the shower? Stay in a situationship you can't end? Become whoever they need that week until you can't find your own taste anymore? In this vulnerable solo episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, Sabrina unpacks the freeze, fawn, and flop behaviors that get mislabeled as being chill, low maintenance, or the "cool girl." She explains why people-pleasing is really self-abandonment, why going blank isn't you being broken, and why the avoidant "they don't care" story is a lie we tell ourselves to feel better. Through raw personal stories about chasing older men, buying concert tickets to be chosen, and finally coming home to herself, Sabrina reframes these patterns as survival skills you can actually change. If you deal with anxiety, decision paralysis, overthinking, situationships, attachment wounds, or feeling "too much" or "too cold," this one is for you. There is nothing wrong with you, and it's time to stop earning everyone's love except your own. Pre-order Sabrina's book coming out October 2026, "Why Am I Like This?"

Tarryn Reeves had everything she thought success was supposed to look like: a six-figure career, a corner office overlooking Sydney Harbour, and every milestone she had been taught to chase. But behind the scenes, her mental and physical health were telling a very different story.In this episode of Clover, Tarryn shares how walking away from corporate life ultimately led her to entrepreneurship, publishing, and helping other business owners tell their stories. We talk about the courage to redefine success, why authentic storytelling matters more than ever, and how writing a book can transform not only your business—but the way you see yourself.In this episode, we discuss:Why Tarryn left a successful corporate career to build a life that aligned with her valuesHow writing became an unexpected tool for healing and personal growthWhy women often struggle to own their expertise and build authentic personal brandsWhat criminology taught her about human behavior, storytelling, and trustWhy books create deeper connections than traditional marketing aloneNotable quotes:“Authority doesn't come from perfection. It comes from clarity and conviction.”“Your life is not your content strategy.”“The best storytellers create resonance, not voyeurism.”“Books don't create authority. They reveal it.”Resources mentioned:Tarryn Reeves: https://tarrynreeves.comLinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarrynreeves

Almost 18 years. 8 figures. Same two best friends who met in science class at 14.So how do you actually build a business that big... and then KEEP it that long without burning it (or your friendship) to the ground?In this episode, Laura and Amanda pull back the curtain on something they don't usually talk about out loud: the 4 things they chose to believe. Not skills. Not strategy. Beliefs. The quiet, foundational stuff they come back to when things get rocky (and real talk, it's gotten rocky).They get into the stuff most people leave out of the highlight reel. A lawsuit that nearly took everything. A deal they were handed on national TV... and walked away from. The moments they each thought, "I don't know if I want to do this anymore."And underneath all of it? Four beliefs that changed everything.We're not listing them here. Because reading them in a caption isn't the same as hearing WHY they matter and how they actually play out when your back's against the wall.Press play. Then ask yourself the question they leave you with: what are YOU choosing to believe?
Revisiting one of our most-downloaded episodes, Tom Bilyeu shares his powerful journey from self-doubt to self-mastery. His early years were shaped by fear of failure, a lack of direction, and doubts from those around him. After struggling to break into the film industry, he joined a startup with the goal of getting rich, but found himself unhappy and in a strained marriage. Taking a leap of faith, Tom walked away from millions to pursue something more meaningful. This gave rise to Quest Nutrition, a billion-dollar company creating nutritious, great-tasting products. Yet, for Tom, wealth was never the endgame. He launched Impact Theory, a media company designed to impact lives positively. In this episode, Tom shares with Ilana the key moments that shaped his career, the philosophies that drive him, and how he defines true success. Tom Bilyeu is a billion-dollar entrepreneur, motivational speaker, co-founder of Quest Nutrition, and founder of Impact Theory.

Sometimes the toughest move isn't pushing through — it's quitting, losing yourself, then coming back on your own terms. Using Alysa Liu's arc, we reframe the usual "never quit" story: the strongest return is driven by ownership, not obligation. A blueprint for anyone rebuilding after burnout.At 13, Alysa Liu was the youngest U.S. national champion in history. At 16, she finished 6th at the Olympics — then walked away, because none of it felt like it was hers. A ski trip and an adrenaline rush later, she was back on the ice two weeks after that — this time because she wanted to.It's a sharper warrior lesson than "never quit." The strongest return is the one driven by ownership, not obligation. We break down the shift from "have to" to "want to," why externally-motivated grinding eventually breaks, and how to rebuild drive that actually survives a setback.In this episodeThe arc: champion at 13, Olympian at 16, then she quitWhy "come back on your own terms" beats "never quit""Have to" vs. "want to" as the engine of durable driveWhy borrowed motivation eventually breaks — and what clears the debtSend us Fan MailLearn with us at warriorfitnessma.com More at warriormindset.usNever give up.

Soud Habbas spent his career building systems for nonprofits working in some of the hardest environments in the world: Jordan, Egypt, Rwanda, and the West Bank. As chief operating officer, he made sure programs actually worked, stayed honest with funders, and didn't put people at risk. In this conversation, Soud tells the story of a $40,000 bet on a small women's dairy cooperative that outperformed programs ten times its size, and a million-dollar-a-year partnership with the John Deere Foundation that worked because of one thing: trust. He talks about what it takes to hold a partner accountable without losing the relationship, and how he's applying the same principle to his own life after a recent layoff sent him back to the bar exam he never took. If you've ever been told your idea is too small to matter, this one's for you.
Have you ever walked away from a toxic relationship only to feel an overwhelming sense of guilt, or like leaving a narcissist was a literal crime? In this video, Lee Hammock exposes the deep psychological conditioning and trauma bond that tricks your brain into treating emotional withdrawal exactly like drug withdrawal, making your own self-preservation feel like a malicious betrayal. Unlike healthy attachments where breakups are simply sad, a controlling person grooms you to feel entirely responsible for their emotional state, triggering intense survivor guilt the moment you choose to save yourself. This crushing guilt is not your moral compass telling you that you did wrong—it is simply your brain going through withdrawal, and you do not owe stability to someone who chose to make you unstable.Book a Coaching Session: [https://link.me/mentalhealness]

Heather Thomas became one of television's biggest stars as Jody Banks on The Fall Guy alongside Lee Majors. During the height of her fame, her posters covered bedroom walls around the world and she became one of the defining television icons of the 1980s. But behind the scenes, fame came with a darker side. In this candid conversation with Steve Kmetko, Heather opens up about the terrifying stalking incidents that ultimately pushed her away from Hollywood, her battle with substance abuse, working with Lee Majors, life as an 80s sex symbol, raising a family, activism, writing, and finding happiness beyond fame.

Justin Bieber Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Justin Bieber's last few days have been a blend of sports history, chart milestones, and quietly lived personal life, all of it adding intriguing new layers to his biography. The biggest headline comes from the 2026 NHL Draft in New York, where Justin made a surprise, heavily televised appearance to announce the Toronto Maple Leafs' first overall pick, Penn State forward Gavin McKenna. NHL.com and The Athletic report that Bieber walked on stage, joined team executives, and officially called McKenna's name as the No. 1 selection, a crossover moment that cements him not just as a celebrity fan, but as a recognizable face within professional hockey culture. NHL coverage also released mic'd‑up segments showing Bieber joking with McKenna and participating in behind‑the‑scenes draft chatter, giving fans a rare look at him in a relaxed, confident mentor‑style role. Social media around the draft exploded: the NHL's official Instagram and TikTok accounts shared clips of Bieber's “as good as it gets” draft moment, while fan accounts circulated footage of him in the arena, feeding the narrative that he is becoming an unofficial ambassador for the sport and for Toronto. That repeated association with the Maple Leafs may carry long‑term biographical weight, reinforcing his identity as a Canadian superstar who still leans hard into his roots. On the music side, Justin's recent Coachella‑linked content is still rolling out. His official YouTube channel just published live audio for tracks like Go Baby, Daisies with Mk.gee, and Walking Away from Weekend One at the festival, extending his presence in 2026's release calendar and underlining that he is treating live performance recordings as a strategic way to stay sonically visible between major studio albums. Forbes recently noted that he has doubled his hits on Billboard's Adult R&B Airplay chart, with Everything Hallelujah marking his first solo appearance on that ranking, a clear sign that industry narratives now see him as an adult R&B‑leaning artist, not a former teen idol. Away from the big stages, local social posts from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, show the Biebers quietly supporting small businesses and being described by owners as kind and gracious. While those reports are anecdotal, they align with a broader, slow‑burn reputational shift: Justin as a settled, married, faith‑influenced figure whose public image relies more on gentle everyday gestures than shock headlines. There are scattered fan rumors about new studio projects and possible collaborations, but none have been confirmed by reputable outlets or Justin's team, so for now they remain pure speculation.

Lynz Crichton makes her fourth appearance on The Unstarving Musician. She's a singer-songwriter based in Nottingham, England, and the creator of Music Marketing Method, a program that helps independent musicians build audience, monetize their work, and sustain a career on their own terms. This conversation started with an email. Lynz had shared the story of a working musician who'd begun drafting a goodbye message for his website. Not because he couldn't play and not because the songs weren't good. It was because everything around the music had worn him out. Lynz drew a line between weariness and failure that stuck with me, and I asked her to dig into it for this episode. We get into the difference between weariness and failure, the Power Hour service Lynz uses to diagnose what's actually in someone's way, why the real problem is almost always mindset and the business side rather than the music itself, and the rare case where quitting really might be the right call. We also talk about what she's seeing across the hundreds of musicians she works with, what's changed since the pandemic-era launch of Music Marketing Method, why owning your email list matters more than ever in 2026, and what going deeper with a small audience looks like in the age of AI.

The conversation explores the rise of deconstruction, the process of deconstruction, reasons for leaving Christianity, public examples of deconstruction, the role of doubt and unbelief, the question of authority, and healthy reconstruction. It emphasizes the importance of truth, the authority of Christ, and the distinction between healthy and unhealthy deconstruction.TakeawaysDeconstruction is a process that challenges and dismantles falsehood, legalism, and abuse, with the goal of building a life anchored in Christ.The ultimate question in deconstruction is about authority—who gets the final say? This leads to a deeper exploration of the role of doubt, the search for truth, and the reconstruction of faith anchored in Christ.Chapters00:00 The Rise of Deconstruction11:42 Reasons for Leaving Christianity18:12 Public Examples of Deconstruction28:39 The Role of Doubt and Unbelief35:30 The Question of Authority46:08 Healthy Reconstruction

Have you ever felt like the traditional version of Christianity sounds more like an abusive relationship than a message of love? Today, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford tackle a viral critique of the faith and dive deep into what it actually means to pray for God's will to be done on earth. This conversation moves past the idea of God as a cosmic tyrant to rediscover a Jesus who invites us into a better way of being human.In this episode, we explore the tension between our human will and the divine will, moving past the "fire insurance" version of the gospel that many are rightfully rejecting. We discuss why the church often fails by trying to "polish up" Jesus instead of letting his voice stand on its own. We also break down the phrase "on earth as it is in heaven," challenging the common belief that Christianity is just about escaping this world for a disembodied afterlife. Instead, we look at how heaven is invading earth to restore our humanity and the image of God within us. From the historical context of Gehenna to the surprising connection between holiness and the joy of play, this episode is a deep dive into the heart of the Lord's Prayer.
