One Second of Strength Podcast

In this episode of The One Second of Strength Podcast, Tanner Clark breaks down one of the biggest barriers keeping teens from success today — distraction. From endless scrolling to 10-second videos, our attention spans are shrinking and our potential is slipping away.

Tanner shares shocking stats about phone use — like how the average teen touches their phone over 2,600 times a day — and why this constant noise is keeping you from building a life filled with satisfaction and purpose.

You’ll learn:

• Why distraction is the enemy of action

• How to build focus blocks that train your brain to stay present

• Simple ways to create distance and friction between you and your phone

• How finishing tasks and being intentional can help you gain traction toward your goals

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scattered, or unfocused — this episode is your roadmap back to clarity. Because one second of strength can change everything.

Encore Episode: Over a year ago this episode was launched and has been one of the most listened to. For new listeners of the show or long standing listeners who need a refresher, here's the episode on 5 Zero Talent Habits that everyone can do!

Welcome to this week's episode of The Second of Strength Podcast. This week's episode focuses on raising men through building key habits and character traits.

I have 2 boys. One is a teenager and the other in elementary school. It's been so interesting to watch these two young men navigate the world. As I sat back and watched a few interactions this week I saw a need to teach my son a few things that would help him in the future. I thought these things would help you and your kids.

The beauty of these lessons is that they require zero talent. Everybody can do them. The difference is that not everybody does and it could make all the difference in their life.

1. Good body language

2. Being coachable

3. Having high energy

4. Work ethic and doing a little extra

5. Keeping the right - neutral - attitude

The beauty of these lessons is that 1. It's not just for sons. 2. It's not just for boys. 3. it's not just for youth. 4. It's for you.

In this episode of the One Second of Strength Podcast, host Tanner Clark takes a closer look at one of the quietest yet most powerful forces shaping our daily lives: the social media algorithm. While it’s designed to keep us scrolling, it often does so by feeding us content that stirs comparison, negativity, and even anxiety. Over time, this constant drip of curated noise can drain our mental strength, steal our peace, and leave us feeling more disconnected than ever. Protecting your energy in this digital world isn’t just about logging off—it’s about becoming aware of how the algorithm works, recognizing when it’s influencing your emotions, and building practices that keep you grounded and strong no matter what shows up on your feed.
