Encouragement isn’t just something you give—it’s something you get. When you take the time to lift someone else up, you walk away stronger too. In this episode, I’m sharing why encouragement matters and how it shows up in unexpected ways (including a recent story about my experience at my favorite Wendy’s restaurant). I’ll also share why I’m so excited about my Remarkable You live event coming up in less than two weeks!

Let’s talk about how to encourage others and refresh ourselves in the process.

Starting is hard. Whether it’s running, writing a book, or driving home after a big event, the beginning never feels as good as the finish. But here’s the truth—you don’t have to feel awesome to get started. You’ll feel awesome after. In this episode, we’re talking about pushing through the messy middle, why the best dreams start in black and white but end in technicolor, and how action creates momentum. If you’re waiting to feel ready, don’t. Just start.

Nobody loves hills. Whether you’re running, traveling, or chasing a big goal, the uphill parts feel the hardest. But here’s the thing—hills pay the bills. They make you stronger, tougher, and better prepared for what’s next. In this episode, we’re talking about how to reframe hard things, why travel always comes with some woes, and how embracing the climb can lead to the biggest rewards. Because the best things in life? They’re usually at the top of a hill. Let’s start climbing.

Fear loves to run its mouth. It shouts worst-case scenarios, whispers doubts, and reminds you of every past failure. But here’s the deal—fear gets a voice, not a vote. In this episode, we’re talking about how to manage the soundtracks fear plays in your head and how to make sure it doesn’t get a say in your decisions. Because if you’re waiting to feel 100% fearless before you take action, you’ll be waiting forever. Let’s flip the script and move forward anyway.

I spent 1,000 hours outside in 2024—not because I’m a rugged outdoorsman, but because I realized fresh air and big skies make life better. Along the way, I learned four surprising lessons about goals, marriage, and why keeping things simple is the key to actually finishing. If you’ve ever wanted to try a big goal (or just set up a tent without an argument), this episode is for you.

Do you ever feel frustrated that you can’t afford something you really want? My nephew Anderson did. He wanted to go duck hunting and buy a dog—but his bank account had other plans. In this episode, I show him (and you) how to turn frustration into fuel, why a “When I have money, I’ll pay for ___” list changes everything, and how small sacrifices lead to big wins. The goals you can’t see are invisible—so let’s make them clear and take action. Your choice: frustration or fuel.

What if the key to real transformation has been hiding in plain sight?

In this episode, I sit down with Ian Morgan Cron—bestselling author, psychotherapist, and Enneagram expert—to talk about his brand-new book, The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone In Between.

We dive into why the 12 Steps aren’t just for people in recovery, how they offer a practical roadmap for anyone feeling stuck, and how self-awareness (with a little help from the Enneagram) can be a game-changer. If you’re tired of trying to change and getting nowhere, this episode just might be the fix you’ve been looking for.

Ian’s Book List:
The Brother’s Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky
New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton
The Gift of Being Yourself by David Benner
Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry
Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe
Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life by James Hollis
Falling Upward by Richard Rohr
