One Second of Strength Podcast

New Year's resolutions are great and al buuuut, they are rarely the answer to help you get to where you want to be, reach your potential and create the life you want.

Why? Because the answer is most likely not don't more but don't less. Addition by subtraction is the simplest way to reach your lofty goals.

And even more, this simple truth is the answer: You know what a not successful year looks like, right? You know that don't more of the same crap isn't the answer. You know that at the end of this year, if you are still scrolling your phone too much or staying stuck in toxic relationships that you won't be happier.

So? It's time to let go of a few things and this episode is going to help you do it.

Who are you? Maybe you don't know yet...or you're having a midlife crisis. It's OK to not know who you are or what you want to be yet. It's also OK to decide it's time for a change.

In most cases, our teenagers are still trying to figure it out - which is OK!! Life is a journey of learning, trying, growing, and adapting. In this episode of The Second of Strength Podcast, we explore how to help ourselves—and our teenagers—figure out who we are so we can move forward.

We'll dive into the Identity Information Theory, from psychology, which was created by James Marcia. The theory will help you know where you or your teen are on the path to who you are.

This episode is your reminder: It’s okay to not have all the answers. Growth comes from trying, failing, and adapting. Whether you’re helping your teenager find their strength or rediscovering your own, you’ll leave this episode ready to help your teen embrace the shifts that come from life.

The new movie "David" got me thinking about a podcast episode I did a few years back. This quote has always impacted me: If God places a Goliath in front of you, then you must believe there is a David inside of you.

To the person who is facing a trial, difficulty, adversity, or a Goliath. I believe you have what it takes to do it. You have overcome every challenge you've ever faced. Keep going, keep fighting, keep believing.

One Second, one step at a time, find your courage, and beat your Goliaths.

In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, host Tanner Clark breaks down the fine line between good and great—and the small mindset shifts that separate average performance from real growth.

• How practice creates progress, and why waiting for perfection keeps people stuck

• The power of reframing setbacks into learning opportunities

• Why boundaries matter, and how protecting your energy fuels long-term success

• How courage is trained, and why getting comfortable with fear is essential for growth

This episode is for anyone who feels capable of more but isn’t sure what’s holding them back. If you’ve been playing it safe, avoiding discomfort, or waiting for the “right time,” this conversation will challenge you to step forward.

In the longest running study on human happiness—an 85-year Harvard study—researchers discovered one truth that rises above everything else: connection is the greatest predictor of happiness and long-term health.
Loneliness, they found, is as dangerous as smoking half a pack a day, and carries the same risks as obesity and high blood pressure.

In this episode of the One Second of Strength Podast, host Tanner Clark breaks down why connection matters more than ever and how to build deeper, more meaningful relationships with simple daily habits.

You’ll learn three practical ways to increase connection with intention:

1. Send a daily text — Reach out to someone on your mind. No agenda. Just connection.
2. Schedule your relationships — Put the people who matter on your calendar so they don’t fall through the cracks.
3. Be the person someone else needs — If you want to be present in people’s problems, you need to be present in their lives.

This episode will help you strengthen your relationships, feel more grounded, and unlock the happiness we’re all searching for.
