  • Grit Has a Ceiling: What Sits Above It for High Performers

    Grit got you here. The research says it won't take you where you're going next.
    In the study that made grit famous, grit explained about 4% of the difference in success. That's real, and it's nowhere near enough to carry you to the next level. Here's what sits above it, for athletes, executives and founders who are already winning.

    CHAPTERS
    0:00 Grit has a ceiling
    0:37 Welcome
    1:22 What grit actually predicts
    3:07 Threat vs. challenge
    5:08 Excitement scales
    7:01 Harmonious vs. obsessive drive
    8:52 What forcing really costs
    10:13 Expansion is a strategy
    11:44 The 5-Move Expansion Reset
    12:19 What's next

    In this episode, Angel J. Storm, PhD (Conflict Analysis and Resolution) breaks down:
    - What grit actually predicts, and where it stops (Duckworth; the Credé meta-analysis).
    - Why threat takes your best thinking offline, and how a challenge state predicts performance.
    - Why reframing nerves as excitement beats trying to calm down.
    - Harmonious vs. obsessive passion, and which one burns you out.
    - What long hours really buy you, and what extra sleep did for college basketball players.
    - Her four-step method: Name it. Map it. Recalibrate it. Lead from it.
    - A practical tool in every chapter: the fuel-or-threat calendar audit, the 60-second challenge check, the "I am excited" reframe, the "I get to" rewrite and recovery on the calendar, plus the 5-Move Expansion Reset to use before your next big game, pitch or board meeting.

  • Part Two of Family Court Lessons with Catherine Bonandin | My Clients Speak

    Join me for this interview with Cat Bonandin, a former client who shares her experiences in family court and recovering from narcissistic abuse while co-parenting with a narcissist.

    📸 Part One of Our Interview: https://youtu.be/WXKBrKp2iT8

    ⚖️ Attorney Carl Knickerbocker - https://www.instagram.com/unapologeticparenting?igsh=ZG51azFjYmhxOTBw
    A long time liberty activist, Catherine Bleish Bonandin has moved from the front lines of the Ron Paul campaign and police accountability movement, to behind the scenes working as the Producer of Anarchapulco, and board member for the Greenbriar Intentional Community. She raises chickens, goats, and sovereign children in Central Texas with her husband Paolo.
    Catherine's seventeen years as an active and involved member of the liberty community has provided her with profound insight into the nature of coercive control. It manifests in a societal level, a communal level, relational level, and even within our own psyche. Finding freedom in our lifetime will require each of us to identify and eradicate the ways in which we participate in, and perpetuate, coercion.
    When we each make the needed shifts in our Way of Being to exist as the sovereigns we were born to be, we serve as the building blocks of a truly free society.

  • Spiritual Abuse Against Leaders with Marcus Akers Part 2

    Many of us are familiar and even expect to hear of abuse in religious organizations from the leadership to the members but my guest today offers a unique perspective - abuse of the leadership when those leaders fail to bend to the will of the corrupt. Be sure to watch Part Two of this video!

    Connect with Marcus:
    ✔️ The Upper Room Church's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQJGiZ8PXY8d1OJHx6cwo7Q/featured

His dedication to this mission has taken shape in various forms, from fostering Christian ministries and participating in missions to India to providing pastoral counseling and contributing to higher education. Marcus has faithfully served in the gospel ministry for an impressive span of 28 years. Over the course of his ministry journey, he has held influential positions on ministry boards and served as an associate pastor at Upper Room Church Ministries from 1999 to 2003.

During this time, he also played a pivotal role in establishing new ministries, spearheading missions to India, and co-hosting a Christian television program for 12 years, all while diligently fulfilling his pastoral duties.
    In 1994, Marcus received a clear calling into full-time ministry, marked by a divine message
    from the Lord: "Create the atmosphere for My Spirit, and I will perform miracles." profound
    mandate has been the driving force behind his service. Whether he was pursuing a bachelor's
    degree in theology at Oral Roberts University, actively engaged in pastoral ministry, or directing
    the online government program at Liberty University, Marcus remained steadfast in answering
