Nir Peled, author of Beyond 100 Percent: Rebuilding Life After It Breaks (May 1, 2026)? Rooted in a background spanning Israeli Defense Forces leadership, high-pressure technology executive roles, and the quiet wisdom of his Holocaust-survivor grandmother, Nir built a practical system for healing that delivered results few thought possible, one that took him beyond 100%.
Life can change in a heartbeat. What will you do when it happens to you?
When Nir Peled collapsed on the floor of his home office from a stroke at age 49, everything changed. In an instant, he lost his speech, mobility, and sense of identity. In the months that followed, he embarked on a grueling journey of rehabilitation, rebuilding his body, mind, and cognitive function, and in the process, uncovered more than he ever expected.The stroke wasn't Nir's first brush with death. He has survived a car bombing in the Sinai Desert, anaphylaxis that ended his military career, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a violent armed robbery deep in the Amazon jungle, cancer that spread fast, and a serious motorcycle accident. Each crisis taught him something different about resilience and rebuilding, but the stroke became his greatest teacher, revealing how all those lessons could come together into a framework for moving forward after life falls apart.
This book began as a recovery journal. What the reader discovers alongside Nir, one honest chapter at a time, is something he didn't set out to write: a complete framework for rebuilding after everything breaks. The principles weren't planned. They were earned.Written with raw honesty and unexpected humor, this is not a clinical guide or a collection of platitudes. It's the story of a recovering high performer who had to relearn everything, and a powerful guide for anyone rebuilding life after it breaks.

When it’s extremely difficult to make up your mind.  Having the power of choice can actually weaken someone.  On this episode we’re going to put focus on making a movie where the character elects to pause in a moment of rage when in reality would we find that much time to think about the consequences?  Plus…if you work for a living why are we killing ourselves to work so much? I’m Arroe.  Life is a series of choices.  Who decides when you’re not making it the right choice?  Is it the fear of going wrong?  The greatest lessons in life are often lost inside hidden away attempts and concepts.  It’s time to reopen your heart. Having a choice is a daily gift.  On this highway we learn to trust mirages… What is the choice?

I hope to locate a destination…  This week we’re putting focus on my missed opportunity with Katie Cook who is really known within the walls of Star Wars, Marvel as well as Disney.Missed Opportunity.  A lost piece of history.  You know the questions.  Let’s locate the reactions.  The door is always open.  If you are or know Katie Cook reach out to me at ⁠[email protected]⁠ that’s ⁠[email protected]⁠ Be brilliant!

Most children are told to dream big. Scott Spiezio dreamed to win a World Series and play 10 years in the Majors. Unlike other kids, he held a unique advantage, a father who had done exactly that. With countless hours of training, Scott hit the pivotal home run in game six of the 2002 World Series.
Scott had everything he could ever want: a World Series ring, a multimillion dollar contract, a beautiful wife, and two healthy sons. But his immense success, followed by an unexpected injury, led to confusion and depression, opening a door to everything he'd spent years avoiding drugs, and adultery.
In his biography, he recounts the baseball brilliance of his earthly father's plan and the redemptive power of His Heavenly Father's one. His comeback baseball moments may be memorialized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, but his faith, his sobriety, and a second chance to reconcile with the ones he loves is the comeback story he wants to be remembered for. After all, it was the hardest one.
"Scott's 2002 World Series home run helped us come back from elimination and gave the Angels Organization and our fans a memory of a lifetime, but his story of coming back from his struggle off the field gives us a deeper sense of hope that extends far beyond baseball". - Mike Scioscia, World Series Champion and Former MLB Manager
Spiezio knows what it's like to experience the highest highs imaginable. His unforgettable Game 6 home run helped deliver the Anaheim Angels their first World Series title in 2002, and he won another championship with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006. To millions of fans, he was living the dream, but what no one saw was what happened after the celebrations ended.
Behind the championships, television appearances, and success, Spiezio was quietly battling addiction, financial collapse, multiple arrests, broken relationships, and the loss of his identity after baseball. Today, after years of recovery and rebuilding his life, he's sharing his story for the first time in an unfiltered, deeply personal way through his new documentary and memoir.With conversations around mental health, addiction, and second chances resonating with audiences more than ever, Spiezio's story extends far beyond sports. It's a powerful reminder that success doesn't guarantee happiness and that healing is possible, even after years of struggle.

Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon’s epic triumph The Odyssey resurrects the ancient world that turbocharged Western civilization — democracy, theater, philosophy, architecture, art.
If that era had a soundtrack, it would sound uncannily like Robin Batteau’s magical, mystical Banned in Sparta: eleven songs mosaic‑ed from the shards of pottery and scraps of parchment left behind by Greece’s great lyric poets. These were the original singer‑songwriters — Archilochus, Sappho, Alcaeus — performing with lyres the way Dylan or Taylor Swift perform with guitars today.
Bat­teau built these songs like a paleontologist assembling a T. Rex, filling gaps in the ancient fragments with “musical bones” of his own devising. And to bring them fully to life, he chose voices from our own Golden Age of singer‑songwriting: Eric Andersen (“tremulous, touchingly chamber finale”), Carolyn Hester (who hosted Dylan’s first recorded appearance), Livingston Taylor, Kate Taylor, Tom Paxton, rocker Robin Lane, plus Tony‑winning actor James Naughton and his children Greg and Keira, Batteau himself, and newcomer Matt Nakoa.
The result is a contemporary folk mosaic that feels both ancient and modern — a soundtrack to the world Homer walked through.

I'm very guilty of doing a lot of interviews for my podcasts. Although I've slowed it down tremendously, I still carry the image of being a podcast interview whore. How can we break this cycle?

There's a voice most of us live with all day. It whispers about the cookies in the break room. It reminds you the ice cream is still in the freezer. It talks about lunch while you're still eating breakfast.That voice has a name now. Food noise. A new class of weight-loss drugs turns the volume down, and people cannot believe how quiet their heads suddenly feel.I felt that same quiet. I did not get it from a drug. I got it from food.The noise is not you. It's your food talking back.Food noise is not weakness. It is not a broken character. It is a symptom.Processed food is engineered to be loud. Sugar, refined flour, oils, salt, additives, all of it designed to make you think about the next bite before you finish this one. Blood sugar spikes, then crashes. Your body, confused and depleted, sends up a flare: get more, get it now.That flare is the noise. It feels like hunger. It is not.Real hunger is calm. It builds slowly. It shows up in your stomach, not your head. When you are truly hungry, an apple sounds good, or a bowl of greens. When it is food noise, only the cookie will do. Your body does not crave a brand. Your dopamine does.What actually happened when I went quiet

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What has gotten into us?  Has farting in public places always been frowned upon?  Plus…a powerful quote to swim within…there’s no real out of control until you look inside my mind.   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…
