Send us a textWithout Threase Baker, today's episode would never have happened....Thank you!!!!What happens when the person who commands rooms across continents can't get a 10-year-old to go to bed? We sit down with a former Reebok and Adidas executive who built categories, led massive teams in Asia, and then walked into the hardest leadership arena of his life: his own home. Stripped of titles and certainty in 2020, he discovered how much of his identity depended on work—and how little that meant to his five kids. The result is a raw, hopeful story about presence, humility, and rebuilding trust one small moment at a time.We trace his early years—divorced parents, boarding school, ice hockey and lacrosse as a lifeline—and the unlikely break that took him from door-to-door telecom to designing gear, flying solo to China, and launching Reebok Lacrosse. Then comes the undoing: burnout, a marriage in pain, and a “seeing” that shattered his autopilot. He describes mystical flashes of clarity where he could feel the depth of his children's inner lives and the ache they carried for one simple thing: Dad, do you see me? That question becomes the compass for everything that follows.This conversation is heavy on practicals and light on buzzwords. We break down a kid-led morning system built on Montessori principles that turned chaos into calm. We talk about divorce with uncommon generosity, including the choice to keep a nesting home so the kids stay rooted while parents rotate. We replace guilt with growth, framing hard seasons as nature's pruning—painful, purposeful, and profoundly fertile. And we share simple tests you can run today: a 60-second pause when interrupted, capability charts instead of nagging, a nightly “what did you need from me?” check-in, and one wise friend who can tell you the truth.He now runs Activat8, helping people uncover identity rather than chase another plan. The thesis is bold and freeing: when you know who you are without roles, your presence becomes the safest place in the house. If you've ever wondered how to move from performance to connection, or how to lead a family without a title, this one will meet you where you are and nudge you forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a dad who needs it, and leave a quick review.

  In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted Phaeton engages in a deep conversation with Andrew Wittman, a Marine Corps veteran and resilience expert. They explore the importance of personal identity, the significance of keeping one's word, and the cultivation of resilience as a physical skill. Wittman shares insights on leadership, the mistakes leaders make in crises, and the eight cylinders of life that contribute to overall well-being. The discussion highlights the importance of intentionality in personal development and the significance of self-assessment in achieving balance and fulfillment.   Takeaways High-performing men often struggle with balancing success and fulfillment. An identity statement can guide personal behavior and decisions. Resilience can be developed through intentional practice and the formation of healthy habits. Pressure reveals weaknesses and areas needing improvement. Leadership is crucial in times of crisis; weak leadership is exposed. Self-assessment of life cylinders can lead to better balance. Source material is essential for informed decision-making. Mind candy distracts from deeper understanding and growth. Taking a step back can help regain focus and resilience. Investing in personal growth can yield significant returns.   Chapters 00:00 – 70% of adults lack self-acceptance (Teaser) 00:32 – Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast 01:46 – Identity and Personal Excellence 06:58 – The Importance of Self-Acceptance 08:51 – Building Resilience Through Training 13:06 – Intentional Living and Resilience Training 15:44 – Tactical Emotional Armor 19:07 – Practical Applications of Resilience Training 21:45 – The Journey of Self-Discovery 22:59 – Leadership in Crisis 25:05 – The Importance of Balance 27:53 – Understanding Financial Literacy 29:56 – The Eight Cylinders of Life 31:45 – Cultural Influence and Leadership 35:32 – Regaining Resilience 38:36 – The Power of Beliefs   Wittman’s Links Website: GetWarriorTough.com LinkedIn: Andrew D.

What does it mean to be the kind of leader who doesn't break even in the face of chaos, uncertainty, and relentless pressure? In this episode of Disruptive CEO Nation, we sit down with Andrew Wittman, PhD– author, speaker, and founder of the Mental Toughness Training Center. With a background ranging from U.S. Marine Corps combat to protecting high-profile leaders as a Federal agent, Andrew now equips CEOs and entrepreneurs with the “inner armor” needed to thrive under pressure.   Together, we explored the concepts of mindset, resilience, and problem-solving skills that allow leaders to safeguard their reputation, make better decisions, and lead with confidence in unpredictable times…and we have to add that Andrew was one of our most humble and down-to-earth guest that we are sure you will enjoy listening to.   Here are highlights: -Perpetual resilience vs. bouncing back: Why true leadership is about pre-deciding who you are before the crisis hits. -Thinking as a physical skill: How to train your mind to stay calm, ordered, and in control under stress. -Cellular problem-solving: The importance of diagnosing the root cause instead of treating surface-level symptoms in business. -Guarding your reputation: Why CEOs must see themselves as brand ambassadors and protect both their image and their people. -Thriving in chaos: How to lead decisively when uncertainty, AI disruption, and global instability make predictability impossible.   About the guest: Andrew D.

A message from Mark Wittman on Psalm 103.

Representative Rob Wittman is a Republican representing Virginia's 1st Congressional district in the US House of Representatives. Representative Pat Ryan is a Democrat representing New York's 18th Congressional district, and is a former Army intelligence officer who deployed to Iraq.  Together, they formed the House Modernization Caucus, driving key policies in national security innovation. On this episode of the Defense Tech Underground, Representative Wittman and Representative Ryan discuss the launch of the bipartisan Defense Modernization Caucus and early wins from the caucus in the 2025 NDAA. They explain the challenges for the Pentagon to move from a hardware centric organization to a software centric one, and discuss opportunities for the caucus to drive impact in defense innovation.  This episode is hosted by Jeff Phaneuf and Helen Phillips.    Congressman Wittman:  Congressman Rob Wittman was first elected to the United States Congress to serve Virginia's First Congressional District in 2007. While in office, he has focused on strengthening our military and supporting our nation's veterans, promoting a flourishing economy through fiscal responsibility and pro-growth policies, fixing our crumbling infrastructure, increasing access to high-speed internet, and promoting workforce development through Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs. In the U.S. Congress, Congressman Wittman serves as vice chairman of both the House Armed Services Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee, where he is well-positioned to represent the needs of Virginia's First District. He has earned a strong reputation for being an advocate for our men and women in uniform and for being a champion of the Chesapeake Bay. Congressman Wittman was re-elected for his ninth full term in the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2024 and prior to that, he served in several levels of government. Congressman Wittman won his first campaign for public office in 1986 when he was elected to the Montross Town Council, where he served for 10 years, four of them as mayor. In 1995, he was elected to the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors and was elected its chairman in 2003. In 2005, voters in the 99th Legislative District elected Rob to the Virginia House of Delegates, where he served until his election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2007. Prior to his election to Congress, Rob spent 26 years working in state government, most recently as field director for the Virginia Health Department's Division of Shellfish Sanitation. Earlier in his career, he worked as an environmental health specialist for local health departments in Virginia's Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula regions. He holds a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University, a Master of Public Health degree in Health Policy and Administration from the University of North Carolina, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Virginia Tech.   Congressman Ryan:  Congressman Pat Ryan is a fifth-generation Hudson Valley native, proud Kingston High School alum, and the first West Point graduate to represent the Academy in the U.S. House of Representatives. Ryan served two combat tours in Iraq, earning two Bronze Stars. Prior to his 2022 election to Congress, Ryan served the community that raised him as Ulster County Executive. There, Ryan led the County through the COVID-19 pandemic and spearheaded policies that delivered relief to working families while never raising taxes. He led the charge to revitalize the former IBM site, now known as iPark 87, helped put money back in small business owners and residents' pockets, took on corporate special interests, and delivered new investments in mental health services. In Congress, Ryan is focused on defending fundamental freedoms and delivering relief for Hudson Valley families. Serving on the House Armed Services Committee, Ryan is working on issues of military preparedness, countering the threat of a rising China, and investing in the United States Military Academy and the next generation of military leaders. As a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Ryan is committed to improving the daily lives of all residents in NY-18. Whether you commute to work on Metro North, travel Route 17 through Orange County, or need broadband access in Dutchess County, he will fight every day to improve our region's infrastructure. Ryan has also championed efforts to expand access to affordable health care, support local law enforcement, preserve Social Security and Medicare, prevent gun violence, and protect a woman's right to choose. Ryan lives in Gardiner, NY with his wife, Rebecca, and their two young sons, Theo and Cameron.

Episode 133 Doe ID: Pam Wittman   In November, 1980, a road crew doing work along I-95 in Volusia County, Florida, discovered human remains. A medical examiner concluded that the victim was a young woman, but she carried no ID. The strongest clue was a shirt she was wearing with the caption 'Do it in the dirt' on the shirt. Because local police had no missing persons cases that might be a match for the remains, her case went cold, and she was known locally as 'Jane Doe 1980' Police had little to go on but they caught a break when a serial killer named Gerald Stano was caught, and began to share details of his victims. Stano was thought to have dozens of victims in Florida, and other states. He gave details that left little doubt in the mind of investigators that he had killed this Volusia County Jane Doe. Even knowing who had murdered her, they didn't know who she was. Eventually DNA & genealogy came together once again to give this Jane Doe her name back. She was Pam Wittman. Pam from Martinsville, Indiana, had lost touch with her family after moving to Florida and taking a job as an exotic dancer, and sex worker.  For years, her family wondered what happened to her.

Sandra Beck of Coach Talk Radio recently sat down with Dr. Andrew Wittman to uncover the truth about willpower, why it often fails us, and how to get the most out of what we have. Dr. Wittman, a renowned motivational keynote speaker and founder of the Mental Toughness Training Center, draws from his diverse experiences as a Marine Corps infantry leader, a State Department security contractor, and a coach for high-performance leaders. His insights challenge the traditional notion of willpower as an unlimited resource, instead offering actionable strategies to harness its potential effectively.illpower is often romanticized as a superhero-like trait that can push us through any challenge. Dr. Wittman debunks this myth by explaining that willpower is a finite resource. Much like a muscle, it can become fatigued after repeated use. “When you rely solely on willpower,” he explains, “you're setting yourself up for failure. It's not a question of strength; it's a question of strategy.” Dr. Wittman highlights several factors that drain willpower: Decision Fatigue: The more decisions you make, the more depleted your mental resources become, leaving you vulnerable to poor choices. Emotional Overload: Stress, anxiety, and frustration erode the mental toughness needed to sustain self-discipline. Lack of Preparation: Without a plan, even the strongest resolve can falter in the face of temptation or unexpected challenges. Strategies to Maximize Mental Toughness Dr. Wittman emphasizes that the key to overcoming the limitations of willpower lies in mental toughness—learning to control your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and actions, particularly under pressure. Here are some of his core strategies: Automate Decisions: Reduce decision fatigue by creating routines and habits that eliminate unnecessary choices. For example, decide your meal plans or workout schedule in advance so you don't have to rely on willpower in the moment. Reframe Your Perspective: Shift your mindset to see challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. Dr. Wittman suggests asking yourself, “What can I learn from this situation?” Develop a Clear Vision: A well-defined purpose provides the motivation needed to push through difficulties. He stresses the importance of identifying your “why” to stay focused on long-term goals. Train Your Brain: Through mindfulness, visualization, and mental rehearsal, you can build resilience to stress and prepare yourself for high-pressure situations. Dr. Wittman likens this to combat training: “You don't rise to the occasion; you sink to your level of training.” Create a Support System: Surround yourself with people who share your goals and values. Positive reinforcement from your environment can bolster your resolve when willpower wanes. A special thanks to our sponsor, Monarch Money!

Chris Wittman grew up fishing every second he could. He never thought of becoming a fishing guide until he became one in 2000. This was the same year The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan was signed into law by Governor Jeb Bush and President Clinton, which was a financial engine that was designated to save the Everglades. Invaluable clean water is paramount to insure the future of wildlife, birds and fish, and regain its lost prominence. The Everglades is one of our countries most treasured national parks and was rapidly dying. Over the next sixteen years the war over water was real and the flora and fauna of Florida was losing out to big sugar. In 2016, Lake Okeechobee was overwhelmed with green toxic water and billions of gallons were released into the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers emptying into the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It killed everything living in the water that was exposed to it. Even local riverside communities suffered the effects of the deadly water. Chris Wittman and Daniel Andrews quit their jobs as fishing guides to build an army to challenge the status quo in Tallahassee and help restore the clean water that was being misappropriated to the sugar industry. Through Chris Wittman, here is the story of Captains for Clean Water.
