About Craig:Craig's running journey started as a form of stress relief and quickly grew into a lifelong passion that now includes a decades-long daily run streak, ultramarathon racing, and creating one of Columbus's most welcoming running communities. What We Cover in This Episode:-How running shifted from solo stress relief to a daily ritual and identity anchor. -The ups and downs of maintaining a run streak spanning thousands of consecutive days. -Stories from ultra-distance races like The Speed Project and what they taught him about endurance, grit, and mindset. -The inspiration behind starting German Village Running Club and how a simple conversation over cocktails turned into a thriving, inclusive run community.-How community and connection can transform your relationship with running and why pace or speed doesn't matter as much as belonging.

Why does your golf swing feel solid on the range…but completely fall apart when it matters most?In this episode of the Macro Golf Podcast, we break down why swing changes disappear under pressure — and why the old move always seems to creep back in on the course.This isn't just a mental issue.It's a blend of physical capacity, technical ownership, and decision-making under pressure — and most golfers misunderstand which one is actually failing them.

Today's guest sits right at the intersection of ambition, emotional intelligence, and the science of love — and this conversation is one I know so many of you will feel deeply. I'm joined by Melissa Nanavati, a speaker, author, and Relationship Architect who helps high performers build peaceful, thriving relationships without sacrificing their big goals. Melissa blends neuroscience, biology, and lived experience to teach ambitious women how to apply the same skills that make them successful in business… to love. Despite early success as a textbook author and Fortune 100 consultant, Melissa found herself stuck in anxious attachment and went on over 100 first dates before meeting her husband. What happened next is powerful — in their first year together, they raised $1.1 million while running two businesses. Through that journey, Melissa developed science-backed frameworks that support executives, founders, and driven women who want relationships that feel secure, grounded, and aligned with who they're becoming. In this episode, we dive into love, attachment, ambition, nervous system regulation, dating, healing, and what it truly takes to thrive in partnership as a high performer. If you've ever felt like you can excel in business but struggle in relationships — this conversation is for you. You're not broken. You've just never been given the frameworks. And Melissa is here to change that. What We Cover in This Episode

Episode 132 – The Metal Maniacs Podcast w/ Jay Ingersoll & ModdThis week marks a massive milestone for the Metal Maniacs Podcast — TWO YEARS of metal news, scene coverage, interviews, chaos, and nonstop riff worship. In this special anniversary episode, Jay and Modd sit down to reflect on everything that's happened since August 29, 2023, the day Episode 1 launched and the Maniacs journey officially began.What started as a passion project has grown into a platform that highlights bands, supports the Michigan metal scene, and documents some of the heaviest conversations in underground music. Today, we look back on the road that got us here — the highs, the lows, the progress, and the unbelievable amount of growth.

As we wrap up our year together, I want to invite you into this meaningful spiritual practice: looking back on 2025 through the lens of Psalm 107 to identify the “fingerprints of God’s faithfulness.” In this episode, we'll walk through four redemptive storylines found in the Psalm—each representing a way God rescues, restores, and reorients His people. Whether you felt lost, trapped, wounded, self-destructive, or overwhelmed by storms, I encourage you to reflect on how God met you in weakness and brought deliverance. We'll close with encouragement for 2026, including the return of my “One Word” series and an upcoming study of Hebrews with a downloadable study guide. What We Cover: 1. God invites believers to tell their story Psalm 107 opens with an invitation: “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” Reflect on how God has been present—even when it was hard to see. 2. Wisdom comes from reflecting on God's loving deeds The final verse of Psalm 107 is a guiding practice: wise people heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord. 3. Psalm 107 gives four redemption storylines to help interpret your year Psalm 107 offers us four major story arcs that may mirror parts of your 2025: From Longing to Belonging (lost → led home) From Broken to Free (bondage/shame → freedom) From Foolish to Healed (self-destruction → inner renovation) From Pride to Peace (storms and overwhelm → God stills the waves) 4. God often meets us when we are at the end of ourselves Each storyline shares a common theme: people reach the end of their rope, cry out to God, and He responds with rescue. This directly connects us to Jesus’ teachings—less self-reliance opens space for more of God. 5. 2026 will include a “One Word” January + Hebrews Study (Feb–Easter) I'll preview a return to my popular One Word series and share more about a full study of the Book of Hebrews, with a study guide starting in February.

In this end-of-year recap episode, I break down one of the most intense and defining years of my life and business.I cover the lessons learned from losing my home, what that experience forced me to reevaluate about life and business, and why it accelerated a full rebrand of our agency into what we believe will become the world's leading AI consulting firm for agencies.I also share early details about our 2026 live event, what it's designed to solve for agency owners, and why the next phase of agency growth will be driven by AI, systems, and leverage—not more people, more clients, or more chaos.This episode is about resilience, reinvention, and where agencies must evolve next.What We Cover in This EpisodeMy honest end-of-year business and life recapWhat losing my home taught me about risk, leverage, and prioritiesWhy adversity forced a faster, clearer rebrandThe decision to reposition into AI consulting for agenciesHow AI will change agency operations, margins, and team structureWhy most agencies will fall behind in the next 12–24 monthsThe vision and intent behind our 2026 live eventWhat agency owners actually need now (and what they don't)Building a business that survives chaos, shocks, and volatility

When you're working harder than ever and still getting questioned, most leaders assume they're the problem.

✨Hey! This week looks a little different around here — on purpose.   Instead of our usual rhythm, I'm airing five episodes in five days.   Think of it as a mini-series designed especially for you — curated, fun, and binge-worthy. Fewer cliffhangers, more “ohhh… that makes sense.”   Every episode this week features a conversation from a show I've been invited onto as a guest — hosted by smart, generous people you'll genuinely enjoy listening to. Each episode stands on its own. Together, they create momentum. So if you've been listening here and there, this is a great week to lean in.   Start wherever you want — or (best option) listen in order and let the through-line reveal itself.    Either way, I'd love to hear what you think. Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨   Episode Title: Another Protocol? Why Wellness May Be Making You Sicker It's a subtle shift, but at some point, health stops being a goal — and becomes something you start chasing. There's a moment when wellness stops being something you pursue with curiosity and becomes something you're striving for — constantly, urgently, and never quite catching. More tracking. More fixing. More rules. More pressure to get-it-right... all under the promise that this will finally be the thing that makes you feel better. Except instead of feeling better, you feel more tired, more inflamed, and more frustrated with your body than ever. In this episode, I join Tiffany Sauder on the Life of And Podcast for a provocative conversation — one that questions the very foundation of modern wellness culture. We talk about how constant protocols, tracking, optimizing, and “fixing” can quietly dysregulate the nervous system, why women are especially vulnerable to this cycle, and how healing often requires less input, not more. We don't need to consume more information from experts or influencers.  This episode is not about stacking habits. It's about interrupting the stress loop that keeps people cycling through plans, practitioners, and promises — without ever feeling truly well. And it gives you the conditions your body's waiting for in order to truly heal. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02] — The moment that changed everything How a childhood conversation about cancer prevention sparked my path into functional medicine — and why prevention is always the quieter power move. [00:08] — Where to start when functional medicine feels overwhelming Why you don't need every test, every protocol, or every supplement — and how decision fatigue keeps people stuck. [00:12] — The 2–3 labs that actually give you clarity Gut testing, metabolic markers, and why running all the tests at once is often a waste of money (and energy). [00:16] — Why people fall off “healthy habits” (and it's not laziness) The identity traps, self-talk patterns, and nervous system overload that quietly sabotage consistency. [00:19] — Food freedom without the spiral Why perfection is a myth, how to stop self-shaming after one off-plan meal, and the mindset shift that creates long-term health. [00:22] — Real-life swaps that actually work From almond-flour cookies to club soda in a wine glass — how small shifts keep you socially connected and feeling good in your body. [00:30] — How to fuel a tired body on a demanding day Protein-anchored mornings, blood sugar stability, simple movement breaks, and a nervous-system reset you can do in under two minutes. The Real Conversation We're Having This episode is not asking you to believe in a new system. It's asking you to question the one you've been swimming in. If your health journey feels like a constant state of monitoring, correcting, restricting, or upgrading — your body may not be confused. It may be overstimulated. Healing doesn't happen when the body feels watched, rushed, or perpetually unfinished. It happens when the nervous system finally gets the message that it's safe to stand down. This conversation is an invitation to stop chasing the next protocol and start creating the conditions where healing can actually occur. No pressure. No perfection. Just physiology, honesty, and a much calmer way forward.   Where to Find Me

✨Hey!

Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨   Episode Title: Stop Trying So Hard: “Doing Everything Right” Is Keeping You Stuck Your body can't heal in survival mode — no matter how clean your diet is. What if the reason you don't feel amazing is NOT because you're inconsistent, unmotivated, or doing it wrong? If you've tried “all the right things” and your health still feels off—tired, achy, foggy, or like you're aging too fast—this episode is for you. What if it's because wellness culture keeps handing you high-effort solutions to your health complaints — and your nervous system is quietly waving a white flag?  In this conversation on Charis Chats, I join Charis Santillie for a refreshingly sane take on health: why feeling better doesn't require a total life overhaul, why tiny habits outperform dramatic protocols, and how stress, blood sugar, gut health, hormones, and mindset are far more intertwined than most advice admits. This episode is for you if you want to feel clearer, more grounded, and more energized — without turning your life into a full-time self-improvement project. If you've done the dietary shifts, supplements, yoga classes and still feel off… this one will stop you mid-scroll. Long exhale. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02] — Why most people fail at wellness before they even start Not because they lack discipline — but because they're trying to change everything at once. We talk about why your nervous system hates that plan. [00:08] — My unconventional path into functional medicine The childhood moment that shaped my obsession with prevention — and why waiting for a diagnosis is a terrible health strategy. [00:12] — The easiest health upgrades almost everyone can tolerate Why adding beats restricting, how morning habits set your physiology for the day, and where people overcomplicate this fast. [00:15] — MCT oil, brain fuel, and using it without wrecking your gut What it actually does, who benefits most, and why more is not better (your digestive system agrees). [00:22] — Beets, blood flow, and why circulation matters more than you think Nitric oxide, brain health, aging, and the simple daily support most people overlook. [00:26] — Habit stacking: the science-backed shortcut to consistency Why motivation is unreliable, how your brain actually forms habits, and how tiny wins build momentum without burnout. [00:31] — Your body is always listening (this part isn't woo) How thoughts, identity, and repetition shape physiology — and why your subconscious is far more literal than you think. [00:40] — Gluten, inflammation, and the ‘small' symptoms people ignore Skin issues, fatigue, bloating, brain fog — why these aren't random, and what your body may be asking for. [00:55] — The mindset shift that creates lasting health Why consistency quietly beats intensity every time — and how small daily choices compound into real change. The Big Takeaway You don't need a stricter routine. You don't need more supplements. And you definitely don't need to be harder on yourself. You need simpler inputs, smarter habits, and a nervous system that feels safe enough to heal. This episode is your reminder that sustainable health is built quietly — through small, repeatable choices that actually fit your life. Press play. Your future self will thank you.   Where to Find Me

This Episode Will Rewire How You Think About Healing (& Why Your Gut, Hormones, and Stress Are Never Separate) What if your symptoms aren't random—and your body isn't failing you at all? Healing doesn't fail. Strategies do. What if exhaustion, gut issues, hormone chaos, and skin flares are actually intelligent signals you've been taught to ignore? In this episode, I'm stepping into the guest seat on Well Done with Kat Vong—and we go deep. Not surface-level wellness tips. Not another “eat clean and sleep more” conversation. We're talking about what actually drives chronic symptoms like gut issues, hormone chaos, exhaustion, skin flares, and that quiet sense that your body just isn't cooperating anymore. We unpack why stress is often the root driver, how gut health quietly controls your hormones, why perimenopause deserves way more proactive attention, and the wildly underrated role your identity and subconscious play in healing. If you've ever felt like you're doing “all the right things” and still not getting better—this one will stop you mid-scroll. What We Cover (with Timestamps) [00:02:00] — Why stress isn't just a factor… it's often the driver Chronic stress doesn't just make you tired—it literally creates inflammation, raises cortisol, and pokes holes in your gut lining. This is where a lot of healing conversations need to start. [00:03:30] — My personal health journey (and why it changed everything) From growing up inspired by a surgeon grandfather to developing Hashimoto's myself—why lived experience matters as much as credentials. [00:06:30] — The real root cause of autoimmune conditions We break down the “three-legged stool” of autoimmunity: genetics, leaky gut, and a trigger—and why stress often pulls the trigger. [00:10:30] — Why conventional medicine often stops short The problem with “a pill for an ill,” and what happens when we treat symptoms without asking why the body adapted that way in the first place. [00:16:30] — Gut symptoms you should never ignore Bloating, migraines, fatigue that sleep doesn't fix, brain fog, bowel changes—what's normal vs. what's a check-engine light. [00:19:30] — How stress physically damages the gut This is where everything connects: cortisol, inflammation, leaky gut, blood sugar, hormones—and why I've completely changed how I prioritize stress in healing. [00:22:30] — Deep stress vs. trauma (and how the body stores both) Why you don't have to feel stressed for your body to still be carrying it—and how emotions live in tissues. [00:25:30] — How we actually heal leaky gut (the practical framework) Lifestyle + nutrition + targeted supplements—and why no single supplement will fix what lifestyle is still breaking. [00:27:30] — The key nutrients that rebuild the gut lining Collagen, glutamine, zinc, soothing herbs—and how food and supplements work together. [00:28:30] — Perimenopause signs most women are taught to ignore Mood changes, cycle shifts, irritability, fatigue, heavy periods—why these aren't “just aging” and what to look at now, not later. [00:31:00] — Bioidentical hormone replacement explained (without the fear-mongering) What it is, why it's different, and how balanced hormones protect your brain, bones, and heart. [00:34:30] — The gut–hormone connection no one talks about Meet the estrobolome: how gut bacteria regulate estrogen—and why dysbiosis fuels estrogen dominance. [00:37:00] — Simple gut upgrades that support hormone balance Probiotics, prebiotics, food sensitivities, and why whole foods matter more than perfection. [00:41:30] — Identity, subconscious programming, and healing Why healing stalls when we identify as our diagnosis—and how shifting identity changes biology. [00:44:30] — Visualization + emotion: the missing link Why mindset isn't about positive thinking—it's about retraining the subconscious during the most programmable moments of the day. [00:50:30] — Letting go of the ‘how' and ‘when' Why detachment accelerates healing and obsession slows it down. [00:54:30] — My top daily lifestyle priorities for better health Stress awareness, gut cleanup, whole foods, reducing ultra-processed foods, and tuning into your body's signals. [00:58:30] — Artificial sweeteners, gut damage, and smarter swaps What to avoid, what's okay, and why your sneezing, bloating, or fatigue after meals isn't random. Big Takeaways You'll Still Be Thinking About Tomorrow • Stress is not a side character—it's often the lead villain • Healing the gut often unlocks hormone balance • Perimenopause is a window for prevention, not something to suffer through • The subconscious doesn't argue—it executes • What you repeatedly tell your body, it believes Where to Find Me

Episode SummaryOn a warm June night in 1960, four teenagers zipped themselves into a tent on the shores of a quiet lake just outside Helsinki, Finland. By morning, three of them were dead. The fourth — battered, bloodied, and barely alive — would survive… only to be accused of the murders more than forty years later.In this episode of From The Void, we travel back to Lake Bodom, one of the most haunting and infamous unsolved murder cases in European history. What begins as a simple camping trip spirals into a decades-long mystery involving a slashed tent, missing evidence, suspicious locals, Cold War intrigue, and a trial that turned the sole survivor into the prime suspect.This isn't just a true crime story.It's a meditation on silence, memory, and the kind of violence that arrives without warning — and leaves without answers.What We Cover in This Episode

The holidays can feel especially heavy when your child is walking a path that doesn't reflect the way you raised them — spiritually, morally, or emotionally.

You'll hear why your presence matters more than "getting the words right," how to ask open, life-giving questions, and why small moments of warmth can rebuild trust over time. This is an episode for Christian parents who love deeply, hurt quietly, and want to keep the door open — even when the relationship feels complicated. What We Cover in This Episode: ❤️ Naming the Heartache Why the holidays magnify the distance, the grief, and the unspoken worries many parents carry.

In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.  The Question: "I'm a 35yo woman who's been married to a really good guy for the last seven years. He never pressures me or anything, but every time I don't want sex, I instantly feel like i'm being a shitty wife. I know that's some leftover ‘good girl / keep your man happy' garbage, but the guilt is still really loud. How do I stop feeling like I'm failing him every time I'm not horny?" What We Cover in This Episode: Why you never owe anyone sex. Why consent and desire are required every single time, even in a loving and committed marriage. Where the guilt comes from. How “good girl conditioning” teaches us to prioritize a partner's pleasure over our own boundaries. Obligation sex vs wanted sex. Why a supportive partner should only want intimacy you are genuinely excited about, not sex given out of pressure. How guilt impacts pleasure and connection. How anxiety, obligation, and performance mindset shut down arousal and make sex feel high stakes. What happens when you keep overriding your no's. Why ignoring your boundaries leads to resentment, disconnect, and a shrinking desire for sex. Rewriting what it means to be a good partner. Why your value is not based on a penis ejaculating, and how honoring your needs strengthens intimacy. How to support your own desire and autonomy. Tools and mindset shifts to release pressure, protect your no's, and show up with real desire when it is there. ⁠Learn more about 1:1 coaching HERE!⁠ ⁠Get Honeydew Me Merch HERE!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Join our Patreon and access exclusive content HERE!

In this gripping episode, Jenilee sits down with Steve Kang to explore his radical journey from devout Buddhism into a near-death encounter that he says took him through hell and heaven. Raised and trained in Buddhism, Steve struggled with deep questions about justice and suffering. But at age 19, after a drug overdose laced with multiple substances, he spiraled into spiritual darkness, demonic encounters, and an experience he describes as “eight hours in hell.”Steve shares how deception shaped his early worldview, what he believes opened the door to spiritual warfare in his life, and how Jesus intervened during the overdose and the eight-hour surgery that followed. He also recounts a later vision of heaven that transformed his understanding of God, Scripture, and the urgency of discipleship.This conversation goes beyond the near-death event itself. Jenilee and Steve unpack why many Christians drift into passive faith, why discipleship is non-negotiable, and how believers can move from spiritual complacency into Spirit-led transformation.What We Cover in This EpisodeSteve's early life in Buddhism and training under monksThe spiritual crisis his family experienced after financial collapseHow addiction and hopelessness pushed him toward destructive choicesThe overdose that led to demonic encounters and a suicide attemptWhat Steve says he experienced during “8 hours in hell”The intercessors who prayed during his life-or-death surgeryHis encounter with Jesus and the moment he surrenderedA vision of heaven nine months later and its impact on his callingWhy discipleship matters more than weekly church attendanceThe dangers of “Christianity without transformation”What spiritual mentorship really looks likeWhy Steve rejects universalism and emphasizes the seriousness of eternityHow believers can cultivate a Spirit-led life instead of driftingGET STEVE'S BOOK:Book: 8 Hours in Hell (formerly A Testimony and the Spirit-Filled and Biblical Christian Life)If You're New to FaithSteve shared a prayer at the end of this episode for those ready to begin following Jesus.

Send us a textIn this episode, Katarina Forster sits down with Jena Mehlberg, a seasoned beauty industry professional and entrepreneur with nearly two decades of hands-on experience.Jena's journey in beauty began early. Inspired by her mother, who owned a massage therapy business, she launched her own mobile beauty business at just 19 years old. Over the years, she grew that mobile venture into a successful brick-and-mortar salon, which she owned for eight years before selling it to pursue her next chapter in tech.Having worked in nearly every role — employee, renter, salon owner, and employer — Jena brings a rare, well-rounded perspective to the conversation. With a degree in Business Management and a passion for blending beauty with business strategy, she has spent the past three years coaching beauty professionals across the country.In 2024, Jena began building her own CRM platform designed specifically for the beauty industry, aiming to bridge the gap between beauty and technology. Her mission is to create tools that elevate the client experience while empowering beauty pros to grow, streamline, and adapt in a rapidly evolving landscape.Beyond her work in salons and software, Jena has spoken at conferences nationwide, sharing her expertise on entrepreneurship, women's empowerment, diversity in beauty, and creating authentic client experiences.

Delegation is one of the most important — and most misunderstood — leadership skills. In this episode, Andy sits down with Phyllis Collins and Teresa Schwab for a lively, honest conversation about why delegation is hard, what keeps leaders holding on too tightly, and how reframing the act of “letting go” can transform both people and organizations.Together, we explore the internal barriers that make delegation feel risky, the identity shifts that come with moving from “super performer” to leader, and the power of trust, coaching, and influence in helping others grow.You'll hear real stories, practical strategies, and a reframing of delegation that moves it from something burdensome to something energizing — for leaders and their teams.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat delegation really is — and what it isn'tWhy high performers often struggle the most when moving into leadershipThe hidden fears behind holding on to tasksHow identity, trust, and control influence delegation habitsMisconceptions that keep leaders from sharing meaningful workHow delegation increases engagement, motivation, and organizational capacityReframing delegation for individual contributors (leading through influence)Why “dumping” and “abdication” are NOT delegationCoach-like techniques for supporting others without taking the work backHow teams and organizations change when leaders truly let goAndy's Rules of DelegationThese three rules offer a simple and powerful framework for transforming how leaders think about and practice delegation.Rule #1 — When we don't delegate, we rob our people of the opportunity for growth.Holding tightly to work that others could learn prevents your team from building skills, confidence, and engagement. Delegation is development.Rule #2 — There is no task too big to delegate.Believing “I'm the only one who can do this” is usually more about identity, control, or habit than reality. Others may perform the work differently — and sometimes even better. Real delegation includes meaningful, high-profile, high-impact work.Rule #3 — Delegation is not abdication.Delegation doesn't mean disappearing. Leaders shift from doing the work to supporting the work — setting clear expectations, checking in without taking over, and creating the conditions for others to succeed.Key Takeaways✨ Delegation is a strategic leadership move — not a chore.✨ Reframing the work through coaching and partnership builds trust and influence.✨ Letting go helps leaders stop drowning in tasks and start leading people.✨ Delegation fuels engagement.
