In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by onX Backcountry and LMNT, we are joined by Michael "Broadway" Grant, a world traveler who has visited 56 countries, cycled across America, and is currently daily-vlogging his way through the PCT. In this one, Broadway dives into getting bitten in the face by a six-pound chihuahua while hitching a ride to PCT Trail Days, his terrifying pitch-black 11:00 PM alpine start up Mount Whitney's snow chutes, and his infamous "Day 50" meltdown in the Sierra, where he melted a carbon trekking pole, burned holes through his sleeping bag, found two more in his tent, and sobbed on camera. We also cover his epic Yosemite side quest featuring last-minute Half Dome permits and hot-tubbing with a park employee, how losing his mother to brain cancer shaped his reasons for being out here, and his hot takes on why catholes beat toilets and why ultralight gear isn't a requirement for thriving on trail. We wrap the show with Pegleg's tips for covering bigger miles and a shout-out to Trek blogger Brock "Dubs" Miller finishing on Katahdin, a Question of the Day on the absolute worst things we've ever smelled, a Triple Crown of the most annoyed professions in existence, and we give news on a new job opening at The Trek.

Yosemite in 1974. A young couple was hiking back to Bridalveil Campground after camping by a Ostrander lake when one of them was shot and killed. Was it murder? or an accident? The deceased was found by hikers propped up beside the trail and they wondered... was this person alive or dead? At the scene, there was a pamphlet on the ground nearby called Spiritualism, Sorcery, and Witchcraft. An arrest was eventually made and at the trial, a spiritual guide (or maybe a witch?) put a curse on Yosemite's Law Enforcement Specialist.

What happens when reaching the top isn't really the point? In this episode, Ginny sits down with legendary climber Emily Harrington, star of the Netflix documentary Girl Climber, to explore the years-long journey that made her the first woman to free-climb Yosemite's Golden Gate route on El Capitan in under 24 hours. Emily takes listeners inside the extraordinary physical and mental demands of climbing—from navigating massive falls and practicing individual pitches thousands of feet above the ground to learning when to push forward, when to reassess, and how to turn failure into information. But this conversation is about much more than climbing. Emily opens up about the pressure to prove herself, finding belonging from within rather than through achievement, asking for help, embracing vulnerability, and discovering healthier reasons to pursue difficult things. She also reflects on motherhood, mentorship, risk, and how her relationship with climbing has evolved as her life has changed. It's a fascinating conversation about courage, commitment, failure, friendship, and what we discover about ourselves when we choose to keep trying.

In this solo episode special, I head to California's Eastern Sierra to take on Mount Agassiz, standing at 13,899 feet in the legendary Palisades region above Bishop Pass — a mountain that sits just 101 feet shy of fourteener status but delivers an experience every bit as massive. After an incredible summer that already included Cloud's Rest in Yosemite and Mount Langley as my second California 14er, I thought my Sierra adventures were finished. Then a message from my friend changed everything, and one last big mountain objective before summer's end was set in motion. What followed was nearly 15 hours on the trail, a brutal ascent through a massive talus field with relentless alpine winds, and a descent that demanded even more than the climb — complete with unexpected encounters, a serious accident that brought search and rescue into the picture, and hard-earned lessons about gear, community, and respecting the mountains that don't carry the famous numbers.But this episode goes beyond the miles and summits. It's a story about a mountain that humbled me, about composure under pressure when things go wrong in the backcountry, and the realization that sometimes the most unforgettable adventures are the ones sitting just below the threshold everyone talks about. This is my journey into the Palisades. This is Mount Agassiz.Follow Just Trek on https://instagram.com/just.trekShop Just Trek merch on https://www.justtrek.net/shopSupport Just Trek on Patreon on https://www.patreon.com/justtrekListen to more podcast episodes on https://www.justtrek.netWant to send me a message?

New Orleans high society adored the charming Jacques St. Germain, right up until they started asking why a man who claimed to be forty could describe the 1700s like he'd lived them. Now more than a century later people are still arguing over whether Jacques St. Germain was a con man, an immortal, or a true-life vampire.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/ImmortalVampireREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9xjvjyFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Was a New Orleans neighborhood home to an immortal vampire in the early 1900s?

He spoke French, English, and Spanish, described centuries-old events as if he'd witnessed them, was almost never seen in daylight, and never ate at his own feasts. He also claimed descent from the Comte de St. Germain, the 18th-century adventurer and alchemist who told Casanova he was three hundred years old, and the resemblance between the two men was close enough that people began to wonder if they were the same person. A prostitute's leap from his upper-floor window, her story of an attempted bite to the neck, and what police allegedly found in his darkened second floor after he skipped town turned a rich man's eccentricities into one of the city's most enduring vampire legends.From there the episode heads to California and the disappearance of fourteen-year-old Stacy Ann Arras, who walked away from a horseback tour group at Sunrise High Sierra Camp in Yosemite on July 17, 1981, intending to photograph a nearby lake, and was never seen again. As many as 150 searchers, tracking dogs, divers, and helicopters combed the area and recovered only a single camera lens. The segment weighs the theories still attached to her case, from a runaway teen in flip-flops to David Paulides and his Missing 411 research, along with search-and-rescue volunteers who explain how wind, ridgelines, and dry ground can swallow a person's voice and scent within fifty feet.Next comes the woman who called herself Lori Erica Ruff, found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot outside her in-laws' home in Longview, Texas, on Christmas Eve 2010. Her husband, Blake Ruff, then opened a lockbox she'd forbidden him to touch and found the birth certificate of Becky Sue Turner, a two-year-old who died in a Washington house fire in 1971, along with the paper trail of a name change in Idaho in 1988. Investigators listed her as a Jane Doe for six years until DNA from her young daughter traced her to a Pennsylvania family whose seventeen-year-old, Kimberly McLean, had walked away from home in 1986.The episode closes in Britain, where at least twenty-five scientists and engineers connected to Marconi Electronic Systems and related defense contractors died between 1982 and 1990, many of them working on projects tied to America's Strategic Defense Initiative. Dr. Keith Bowden's car went off a bridge on tires someone had swapped for worn ones, Vimal Dajibhai went off the Clifton Suspension Bridge with a puncture wound on his buttock, Arshad Sharif tied a ligature to a tree and hit the accelerator, and Alistair Beckham wired himself to a power socket in his garden shed hours before Ministry of Defence men arrived to collect his files. Coroners returned open verdicts, Computer Weekly journalist Tony Collins wrote a book arguing the pattern pointed to a plot, and Margaret Thatcher's government called the whole cluster a coincidence brought on by workplace stress.

Voices of Courage with Ken D Foster Life Purpose, Intuition, and the New Hollywood with Brianna Brown Keen Ken D Foster sits down with actress, producer and philanthropist Brianna Brown Keen, founder of The New Hollywood and Manifesting Your Mission, for a wide-ranging conversation on finding life purpose, trusting intuition, facing fear, and healing the body and mind. A Show Built Around Life Purpose Ken D Foster opens the Voices of Courage broadcast the way he often does, asking listeners to consider what might still be missing even after they reach a hard-won goal. He tells his audience that the answer, for many people, is a clear sense of life purpose, and that fear is usually the force keeping that purpose from surfacing. Foster explains that without a defined mission, a person tends to end up living everyone else's agenda instead of their own. He then welcomes his guest, actress, producer, entrepreneur and philanthropist Brianna Brown Keen, introducing the episode under the title The New Hollywood: Changing Lives With Purpose. Keen immediately connects the title to her own nonprofit, The New Hollywood, which she founded more than twenty years earlier, and the two agree the alignment was unplanned. From the first minutes, the conversation is framed less as a Hollywood career story than as a discussion of mission, intuition and service, setting up everything that follows. From Minnesota Suburbs to Screen Credits Keen describes growing up in the suburbs of Minnesota with no family history in the arts, moving to Los Angeles at nineteen after landing representation, and being told by her parents to sink or swim. She says she never chased fame for its own sake and would have taken a more strategic route if she had, and that acting drew her instead through a love of character and psychology. Over more than 350 film and television credits, she found the work increasingly self-focused compared to theater, which pushed her toward community with other artists who wanted more than a solo spotlight. That search produced The New Hollywood, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and its sister project Manifesting Your Mission, which now includes a coaching practice, a guidebook, a podcast and retreats. Keen tells Foster the organization's current focus is the TNH Accountability Program, which pairs formerly homeless single mothers with schooling grants and mentorship, turning what she calls gifts and hard circumstances into something constructive for others. Journaling, Intuition and Slowing Down Foster and Keen turn to how purpose is actually located day to day. Keen calls herself faith-based in a non-religious sense, describing a still small voice she has learned to trust, and credits her Reiki Master training with sharpening that intuition. She explains the structure of her Manifesting Your Mission guidebook, which walks readers through annual goal-setting, quarterly check-ins on what worked and what did not, and journaling exercises for moving through emotional triggers. Foster shares his own experience nearly passing over Keen's publicity materials before an instinct pulled him back to read them closely, calling it a live example of the intuition they are discussing. He tells listeners he has preached slow down to succeed for years, citing Paramahansa Yogananda's line that stillness is the price of greatness and Leonardo da Vinci's remark that isolation is the price of greatness. Keen agrees that consistency, not motivation, is what most people actually lack once they identify what they want. Facing Stage Fright and Naming Fear The conversation shifts to courage, which Foster defines as an energy that only appears once someone steps into the unknown. Keen answers with her own history of severe stage fright as a middle schooler, so crippling she could not finish a line and was cut from a school play cast as a tree; bullying around age thirteen or fourteen later pushed her back toward performing, and she says the anxiety persisted into her twenties even as a working actress. She frames overcoming it as simply getting repetitions and doing the thing despite the fear, so long as there is no real physical danger. Foster matches the story with his own childhood fear of speaking in front of a room and a memory of standing at the edge of Half Dome in Yosemite while a hiking companion panicked on his behalf. Both agree that naming a fear precisely, rather than staying vague about it, is the necessary first step before anyone can decide to work through it. Health, Healing and Staying Grounded Keen connects purpose to physical health, saying that fatigue and chronic illness are often the real reason people cannot sustain a long-term goal, which is part of why she built the Wellness Babes program with a functional nutritionist around testing, mindset and recipes. Foster responds with memories of grandparents whose rheumatoid arthritis and weight gain slowly took away their mobility, and says he set staying pain-free as a personal life mission, crediting Reiki and a functional-medicine doctor who told him disease progresses through stages, from self-healing to needing a practitioner to needing more. Both hosts argue for combining Western and Eastern approaches rather than choosing one, with Keen citing acupuncture that helped heal her back during a period on disability. Foster mentions witnessing what he describes as roughly two hundred unexplained recoveries at a chapel in Arizona over three years, a claim he offers without further evidence. Keen adds that unmanaged stress and poor boundaries, especially for women, often drive autoimmune illness. Community, Family and Giving Back As the hour closes, Foster and Keen discuss reactivity learned from performing and reality television, and how conflict avoidance through addiction of any kind stalls emotional development. Keen says most of the women in the TNH Accountability Program lack a consistent parental figure and lose the social connections that keep people housed, echoing a San Diego shelter founder Foster once interviewed who told him isolation, not substance use, is the true root of homelessness. Both stress that family, more than clients or colleagues, has been their sharpest teacher. Keen closes by directing listeners to manifestingyourmission.org, wellnessbabes.org and thenewhollywood.org, mentioning her September 19 Pouring Into Yourself retreat in Sonoma, a six-week Wellness Babes transformation program, and an October 2 fundraiser for the nonprofit reachable through faith@thenewhollywood.org. Foster thanks her warmly, mentions a future speaking connection with his wife's Women's Wisdom event in San Diego, and signs off encouraging viewers to subscribe on YouTube so they do not miss future episodes.

Welcome back to the SIDEBAR PODCAST, hosted by Leise Winny and Royce. This week, the crew kicks things off with an insane gauntlet of scammers, unpacks fake NFL players defrauding dozens of women, and calls out the reality TV star caught faking a Duke medical degree.

Paul Pritchard is one of the most significant figures in British climbing. He became one of Britain's leading rock climbers and mountaineers, with major first ascents across the UK, Patagonia, Baffin Island, Yosemite, Kyrgyzstan and the Karakoram. His first ascent of the West Face of Mount Asgard in 1994 remains one of his defining achievements.He was also the first author to have won the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature twice — for Deep Play, and later, The Totem Pole.In 1998, everything changed.While climbing Tasmania's Totem Pole, Paul was struck in the head by a falling rock, sustaining a near-fatal brain injury that left him with hemiplegia. He spent the next year in hospital and has described the decades since as his longest project: healing, adapting, and learning to live one moment at a time.And yet today, Paul says he gives thanks to the Totem Pole every morning.This is not simply a comeback story. It's a conversation about mortality, fear, acceptance, freedom, identity, and what happens when the life you expected disappears.We talk about why losing choices can sometimes make us freer, why fear doesn't need to disappear before we act, how aging changes the need to prove ourselves, and Paul's idea of the “dignity of risk.”If none of us knows how much time we have, what are we still postponing?REFERENCESPaul's excellent books:: Deep Play | The Totem Pole | The Longest Climb | The Mountain Path on his website at https://www.paulpritchard.com.au/booksPaul's Instagram: @paulpritchard
Holy smokes it's September. All this time waiting and enduring the endless summer days and all of the sudden we are back in action. The dove opener is this weekend, velvet season will be open soon, along with elk, and a whole lot more. To top it all off, we have a week's worth of news to catch up on. New boat ramps being installed, more explanation on the roadless rule, and the new news about the Trump Administration supposedly putting together a land swap involving part of Yosemite National Park. Also, Jordan fills us in with what he learned in a recent deer management clinic.

Today's Headlines: And we're back to actual warring again. The US and Iran are shooting at each other again for the first time in a month — US strikes on Iranian rocket launchers, Iran hitting US bases in Jordan and the UAE — and when reporters asked Trump if he'd rule out nukes, he said yes and no in the same breath and called it a stupid question, which is on brand. Trump also personally called Apple to ask them to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America on Maps, and is apparently "confident" it'll happen soon, Apple however did not comment on the matter. In other disturbing news, the Pentagon has been secretly hiring conservative veteran influencers in civilian roles to defend Hegseth online and go after his critics, funded possibly by taxpayers — turns out those are the replacements for the press outlets Hegseth kicked out of the Pentagon — and ICE is dropping $2 million on robot dogs with 360-degree cameras and extendable arms, to go with the electric shock gloves, because why not. On the food and environment beat, a carcinogenic forever chemical just got approved for crops including apples, oranges, corn, and almonds, three groups immediately sued, 10,000 cases of tofu are being recalled from 29 states for possible ink contamination, and the Trump administration wants to hand over part of Yosemite National Park to a private equity firm that wants to build upscale cabins and commercial buildings — in exchange for equivalent land elsewhere, make it make sense. Meanwhile, protesters showed up at Peter Thiel's Argentina mansion, George Santos got Kalshi's first ever lifetime ban for betting on his own State of the Union attendance and responded by threatening them on Twitter, and John Galliano quietly dropped out of his 2027 Met Gala retrospective, which was probably the right call.

A deadly flash flood has devastated parts of Grand Canyon National Park, leaving two people dead, others still unaccounted for, destroying trails and bridges, and severely damaging the Transcanyon Waterline — forcing major water restrictions and lodging closures on the South Rim. In this week's national park and public lands news roundup, we break down what happened at the Grand Canyon and what visitors need to know right now. We're also covering: • A major Trump administration proposal that would make it easier for the National Park Service to expand bicycle and e-bike access • New reporting from Anna Kramer at NOTUS on a proposed Yosemite land deal that could give a private developer direct access through the park • Wolf activity forcing new tent-camping restrictions at Isle Royale National Park • Kansas State Parks raising camping and vehicle fees — and eliminating its annual camping pass We'll separate the headlines from what the actual rules and proposals say, explain what's changing, and tell you what matters if you're planning a national park or camping trip. #NationalParks #GrandCanyon #Yosemite #RVMiles #CampingNews #PublicLands Tickets for HOMECOMING are on sale!

Anika Burgess, author of Flashes of Brilliance: The Genius of Early Photography and How It Transformed Art, Science, and History, explores the dangerous, experimental origins of photography, commencing with Daguerre's 1839 copper-plate daguerreotypes. Burgess details the introduction of the wet collodion glass process, which required toxic chemicals like cyanide and highly explosive gun cotton. Key figures highlighted include the eccentric Nadar, Louis Boutan's pioneering underwater photography, Carleton Watkins's mammoth prints of Yosemite, and Jacob Riis's flash-powder documentation of Manhattan tenements. The discussion spans early astronomical photography of the moon, medicine's risky embrace of X-rays, and Eadweard Muybridge's motion studies that birthed cinema. (1)
The tech executives who have debased themselves sucking up to Donald Trump and taken advantage of Trump's negligent regulatory attitude are not only feeling direct political pressure over things like addictive algorithms and resource-sucking data centers, but they're recognizing Trump's waning power and the increasingly likelihood that Democrats will not let them off the hook if and when they regain power in the federal government. Rob Flaherty and Jesse Lehrich, co-hosts of the "Nobody Knows Anything" show, join Jen Psaki to discuss. Marc H. Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League, and Janai Nelson, president and director-counsel of the Legal Defense Fund, talk with Jen Psaki about today's protest march and rally for voting rights in Washington, D.C. Jen Psaki shares reporting from NOTUS that Donald Trump is working to give a potentially very valuable part of Yosemite National Park to a private developer who has some interesting ties to the Trump administration. An exodus of employees from the FBI, either through mass firings or fleeing the disgrace of the Trump administration and Kash Patel has raised the level of desperation for new hires to such a level that personal histories, including criminal histories, that would have previously disqualified applicants are no longer an obstacle to being hired. Michael Feinberg, former assistant special agent in charge with the FBI, discusses with Jen Psaki.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by LMNT, we are joined by our longtime pal Elise Ott, aka Sauce, who recently completed the 94-mile Yosemite High Route. She breaks down the realities of off-trail High Sierra travel, from navigating 7,000-foot vertical climb days to the difficulty (or lack thereof) of route-finding without a GPX line. In this one, Elise gives us a full breakdown on Skurka's new(ish) route through Yosemite- including everything you need to know regarding navigation, camping, water, difficulty, highlight views, and more. Elise also shares some fun anecdotes from her hike, including waking up with some mysterious edema that blew her face and feet up like balloons, her emotional breakdown on day four after a massive granite boulder crumbled under her weight, the nightmare of scrambling up the steep, loose gravel of "Lemonade Pass" after breaking both of her trekking poles, and the agony of cold-soaking a beef stroganoff Knorr Pasta side in the dark after running out of stove fuel. We wrap the show with the sad news of the passing of a CDT in the Tetons, a shout-out to Trek blogger Starlight, which continent's cuisine we would choose eat forever, a story where I recently maybe got rabies, a Triple Crown of summer drinks, a one-minute gear review on Jess testing a backcountry bidet on the JMT, and a listener shares a story about meeting two hikers tripping on acid on the Tahoe Rim Trail.

Stéphanie Bodet est une championne atypique, elle n'a jamais choisi entre ses deux passions, la grimpe et la littérature, l'escalade et l'écriture.À 23 ans, l'ancienne petite fille asthmatique devient championne du monde de bloc. Stéphanie enchaîne ensuite les voyages au long cours avec son mari Arnaud Petit, également grimpeur de renom et écrivain. Ils ouvrent des voies aux 4 coins du monde: Tsaranoro à Madagascar, les célèbres chutes d'eau de Salto angel au Vénézuela, El Capitan au parc Yosemite aux ÉtatsUnis, Tours de Trango au Pakistan, Tasmanie, Albanie, Corse... et bien sûr les Alpes, où ils vivent.En 2016, Stéphanie écrit une biographie «À la verticale de soi». Ça lui vaut d'être invitée à la Grande Librairie. En 2019 c'est son premier roman «Habiter le monde». Lionel Daudet, célèbre alpiniste écrivain a dit d'elle: «J'ai l'impression, quand je lis Stéphanie, de la voir grimper.»___
Ep 290 macOS Tahoe 26.7 is Full of References to Unreleased Apple Products Steve Troughton-Smith: It seems pretty clear to me, being able to test iPadOS beside macOS, that even with macOS 27 the Liquid Glass UI is never going to look as good as it does on a HDR OLED display. It looks several times glossier and more crisp when I switch my desktop monitor over to HDR (which I never use), and even better still on the iPad's OLED. This feels like a generational shift as big as the Retina Display, and I think most people are oblivious to it — since no Mac currently comes with a HDR OLED screen.

In this solo episode special, I head deep into California's Sierra Nevada to take on two incredible peaks that live in the shadow of their more famous neighbors: Cloud's Rest and Mount Langley.Just 2 weeks apart, I day hiked Cloud's Rest in Yosemite, standing at 9,926 feet and looking down on Half Dome, a summit I've completed twice - before heading to the Eastern Sierra for a massive 22+ mile journey to the 14,032-foot summit of Mount Langley. Seven years after standing on top of Mount Whitney for my first California 14er, I was now standing on its neighboring 14er, looking back at Whitney from an entirely new perspective.Along the way, I share the full adventure from car camping and acclimating high in the Sierra to the breathtaking Cottonwood Lakes, New Army Pass, brutal high-altitude summit pushes, alpine cold plunges, a failed water filter, and some unforgettable encounters with fellow hikers and friends.But this episode goes beyond the miles and summits. It's a story about perspective, looking back at mountains that represent earlier chapters of my life, seeing them through completely different eyes, and discovering that sometimes the most unforgettable adventures are waiting beyond the bucket list... in the shadow of giants.Learn more about hiking Cloud's Rest: https://hikingguy.com/hikes/clouds-rest/Learn more about hiking Mt Langley: https://tinyurl.com/yn886km3Follow Just Trek on https://instagram.com/just.trekShop Just Trek merch on https://www.justtrek.net/shopSupport Just Trek on Patreon on https://www.patreon.com/justtrekListen to more podcast episodes on https://www.justtrek.netWant to send me a message?

We kick off on National Thrift Shop Day with Erin literally pouring sweat after Dan opened the garage doors to unpack from six chaotic weeks away at the shore. She breaks down the disastrous end to their beach trip: after the borough removed their boat ramp, her mom Judy took a nasty tumble trying to climb the bulkhead and ended up in a packed, terrifying hallway bed in the ER. To make matters worse, Judy hobbled out of the hospital before getting her painkillers, leaving the entire extended family, 16 people and a dog, crammed into a 3 bedroom house. Erin spent the night sleeping on the garage floor next to a flashing electric car charger and a kicking toddler. In sports news, we introduce the chaotic new street game "Don't Touch the Can," marvel at the terrifying flips and belly flops of Norwegian Death Diving, and celebrate a guy in Cleveland who just broke the world record for the fastest mile while pushing a Thule stroller clocking in at an insane 4:17 while his baby just happily kicked around inside. We also discuss the upcoming Australian Netflix documentary on the viral Olympic breakdancer Raygun, and debunk a fake viral video that falsely claimed a hiker was charged $70,000 for a helicopter rescue in Yosemite.Moving into tech and marketing, we dive into a wild conspiracy theory that AI companies are secretly paying creators massive sums to start a TikTok trend of reciting phrases with different emotions just to train their voice models. Speaking of insane tech money, we touch on a tech podcast allegedly getting a $70 million buyout, before Erin unleashes a massive rant against BMW for forcing unskippable video ads onto their cars' dashboards and the absolute misery of new CAPTCHA tests asking users to match animal environments. We then review a hilarious story out of New Jersey where police actually disguised themselves as bushes to catch 74 drivers using their cell phones. Finally, we wrap up with "No Bad, No Sad," featuring a legendary viral post from a Japanese man discovering the American phenomenon of having a “truck guy” where moving a sofa costs exactly one pizza, reminding us that Dan is officially our neighborhood's "Kevin".

In 1957, three teenage naval cadets were sent to map a Suffolk village they had never seen, and came back describing a place that didn't belong to its own century.

(Disappearance of Sandra Hughes) *** Ken McElroy was shot to death on a small-town main street in front of dozens of neighbors, and more than forty years later, every one of them still says the same thing: they saw nothing. (The Town Bully of Skidmore) *** Three Royal Navy cadets walked into a Suffolk village in October 1957 and found a butcher's shop full of rotting oxen, no wires, no people, and no church.

On this week's episode, I share how invigorated I was after 6 days of hiking in Yosemite National Park. I've had Yosemite hiking on my bucket list for 50 years and am delighted I finally experienced a section of it's profound peace and awesome beauty. I felt healthy, strong and empowered walking in the high altitudes, through shaded forests, over sunny granite, and up and down rocky switchbacks. I was so uplifted and inspired by the mountains, meadows and lakes and trust that this intimate communion with nature will live in me forever. May you find refreshment this summer in lakes, rivers, pools and/or oceans. May you let nature's peace flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. Enjoy the podcast!
In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I was reminded that confidence is never built in the moment. It is earned through every decision we make long before the challenge ever arrives. After taking on the Half Dome hike in Yosemite, I felt every mile in my body. The soreness reminded me that while big moments may test us, they never reveal something that was not already there. They simply expose the work we have or have not been doing behind the scenes. As I stood at the base of that mountain with Carla, there was never a question about whether we would reach the top. We trusted the preparation. Every workout, every healthy choice, every disciplined decision had already built the confidence we needed. The mountain was simply the opportunity to prove it. That same lesson applies to every area of life. Too many people wait for everyone else before they move forward. They wait for friends, family, or circumstances to line up before chasing the experiences they want. The reality is that growth often requires you to move before everyone around you is ready. If you continue waiting for someone else to catch up, you place limits on what is possible for your own life. Preparation is about more than checking boxes every day. It is about making daily deposits into your future. Every workout strengthens your body. Every book expands your thinking. Every meaningful conversation improves your relationships. Every marketing effort grows your business. Those deposits build confidence over time, giving you proof that you are capable when bigger opportunities appear. I like to think of it as building credit with yourself. Every promise you keep is another payment made. Every commitment you honor raises your confidence. Then, when it is time to make a bigger decision or face a greater challenge, you already have the evidence that you can handle it. Many people want transformation without first committing to preparation. They want bigger results without building the habits that create them. They want confidence before earning it. That is not how lasting success works. I also believe many people place unnecessary limits on themselves because their expectations are too small. If your only goal is to cover your bills, that is often where your growth stops. But what happens when you decide to create something much bigger? What happens when you expect more from yourself, your business, your leadership, and your future? The biggest breakthroughs begin when your vision grows beyond survival. When you raise your expectations and back them up with consistent action, everything starts to change. Your confidence grows because you have proof. Your leadership grows because people see your consistency. Your opportunities grow because you have prepared for them. Preparation becomes your reputation. People begin to trust you because they know you will follow through. More importantly, you trust yourself because you know exactly what you have invested. As you move through this week, ask yourself what you are preparing for. Do not simply go through the motions. Make every daily deposit with purpose. Expect more from yourself. Challenge your limits. Continue stacking those small wins because they create the confidence to accomplish the big ones. One intentional step every day can completely change your life over the next year. Questions for Reflection What daily deposits am I making that are building confidence for the future I want? Where have I been limiting myself by setting expectations that are too small? What bigger goal am I ready to pursue because I have already done more preparation than I realize? Notable Quotes "Preparation becomes your evidence." "Preparation is your reputation." "There is only one way to get to the top. That is one intentional step at a time."

It all starts innocently enough with a studio full of ponytails and a heated debate over whether the infamous 90s "butt cut" haircut deserves its comeback. Naturally, that conversation somehow turns into Jonathan Brandis nostalgia, Steven Seagal jokes, old-school Blockbuster memories, and the unmistakable smell of renting VHS tapes on a Friday night.From there, the crew dives headfirst into today's weirdest headlines. They react to shocking wildfire stories overseas, discuss why nostalgia keeps pulling everyone back toward analog experiences, and break down one of the internet's biggest viral hiking rescues after a woman had to be airlifted from Yosemite. The conversation becomes equal parts funny, sympathetic, and completely derailed—as only this crew can manage.Then comes the travel story nobody was emotionally prepared for.Let's just say a beach rope swing, a vacation in Honduras, and one incredibly unfortunate landing create what may be one of the most unbelievable medical stories the show has covered in a long time. If you've already heard people mention "the grapefruit story," yes... this is that episode.Along the way you'll also get movie talk, Christopher Nolan hype, Odyssey ticket frustrations, classic movie nostalgia, sarcastic observations about adulthood, and the kind of random conversations that somehow only make sense when the Rizz Show is having them.A debate over why Trader Joe's chocolate bread somehow smells exactly like chicken fingers while someone cracks open a Celsius and declares they're about to get "lit." From there, the rails disappear completely.The crew tackles one of humanity's most important questions: if civilization collapses tomorrow, who are you bringing with you? A combat medic? Engineer? Farmer? Navy SEAL? Jason Statham because apparently he's every profession? Or maybe just Monica Bellucci because if the world's ending, why not shoot your shot? Before long they're debating swimming zombies, Walking Dead logic, World War Z speed rankings, kayaks, Mississippi escape routes, island survival, and whether doctors or mechanics are the true MVPs of the apocalypse.Tom Jones' family drama sparks a genuine discussion about fathers and responsibility before everyone gets distracted trying to determine what people actually call Tom Jones' famously enormous... reputation. Jimmy Buffett fans get some good news, Quiet Riot looks for a singer, ZZ Top reshuffles tour dates, and the crew debates whether fans are owed the original lead singer at every concert.A celebration of friendship, softball, community, and the legacy of our friend Jeff Burton.Jeff loved two things more than almost anything: his family and playing softball. Okay... maybe softball was tied for first. The guy practically lived at shortstop, and missing a game wasn't really in his vocabulary. After battling Crohn's disease and later cancer, Jeff's passion for helping others became just as legendary as his love of turning double plays.Now his family keeps that legacy alive with the annual 100 Innings Challenge, raising money for Siteman Cancer Center while giving everyone an excuse to spend an entire day playing softball, laughing with friends, eating great food, and yes... enjoying a little free beer along the way.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.A Hiker Was Airlifted Off Yosemite's Mist Trail.

July 14, 2026In 1870, a US exploring expedition headed to the Yellowstone River and reported back about the natural wonders of the area, The House Committee on Public Lands warned about letting the area be spoiled by private interests, In 1982 President Grant signed the bill making Yellowstone a national park, In 1890, the federal government stepped in to protect Yosemite, Presidents of both parties continued to protect American lands, New York Republican Theodore Roosevelt most dramatically expanded the effort to protect western lands, Roosevelt used the Antiquities Act to create national monuments and, then, the Grand Canyon, Since the 1980s Republicans have pushed to reopen public lands to resource development, Trump signed an executive order in his first term to review the designations of 22 national monuments and ordered land reductions in two of them, Biden restored those monuments to their original size, But although the national parks and monuments attract millions of visitors, support thousands of jobs, and bring billions of dollars into the local economies, Project 2025 has urged that the Antiquities Act be repealed, The Supreme Court seems eager to get a case that will allow them to reduce the scope of the Antiquities Act, or eliminate it altogether.
