Welcome to today's podcast!

With the celebration of today's episode, number 300, we are reviewing the top episodes of Lifting the Lifter's!

First, Managing Weakness with Jason Hunt. In this episode, we talk about our weaknesses and how we typically handle them, with coping strategies and mechanisms. All in an effort to avoid uncomfortable emotion. We use the ACE acronym, acknowledge, connect, and engage, to help us when we are in that unhealthy place to move forward and upward. We also discuss avoiding idle time and using deliberate actions to help us maintain a path of growth and progression.

The second-highest podcast is an interview I did way back in the beginning with Jeff Brabant. I did this interview and then also did a replay because it is so good.

Jeff was my son Dylan's baseball coach at Miles Community College in Miles City, Montana. Besides being an amazing coach, he was again, like Jason, a good human with so much wisdom and perspective.

One of the main things I loved about Jeff and his coaching style with the BOAC he had with each player. BOAC stands for a "bit of a chat." This episode was full of nuggets of wisdom for us all!

Third top episode: Interview with my brother-in-law and sister about his battle with cancer. It was raw and real. Luke was diagnosed with lung cancer that shocked us all. He has never smoked and has been a healthy, rough-and-tough hunter and dad his whole life. The interview with him and my sister was full of tenderness, love, miracles, and hope. If you or a loved one is struggling right now with a diagnosis, this one is good.

Henry Ford said: "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young."

Aging is a journey of accumulating wisdom and new experiences, not just years, allowing us to become more authentic versions of ourselves. Keep learning and growing!
