Clinician, Heal Thyself

In this candid episode, Erin Ahnfeldt and I dive into a deeply personal story about his dad's incredible act of love and faith. With a history of leukemia, Erin's father recently felt compelled to bless his grandchildren, inspired by the biblical story of Jacob blessing his offspring. Despite the logistical challenges, the family miraculously came together, allowing his dad to impart a touching and emotional blessing to his grandchildren. The profound impact of his words showcased the enduring power of intentionality and love in family dynamics.

Growing up, Erin's father was a formidable figure, both in physical prowess and character. Now, his strength is exemplified in his unwavering commitment to blessing and encouraging others. As we discuss these moments of intentional blessings and affirmations, we explore how these actions can resonate deeply within families and communities.

We also delve into the importance of not letting comparisons steal our joy, highlighting that our worth comes from the grace and love of God. This episode exemplifies the power of words, intentional acts of kindness, and the enduring legacy of faith and love that can shape our lives and relationships.

Get ready for a "Pardon the Interruption" style rapid-fire discussion where my esteemed guest, Dr. Jason Hamed, and I cover a wide range of interesting and relevant topics, from basic life hacks for optimal physical performance to lessons learned from our dearly departed dads. Dr. Hamed is an extraordinary human being; he's a husband, dad, and co-founder of The Wellness Connection, a very successful holistic health center in St. Louis, Missouri. He is a good friend and one of the most impressive, articulate, passionately curious and growth-minded men I know. From picking up archery to practicing cold plunges before it was cool (see what I did there?), Dr. Hamed is a one-of-a-kind entrepreneur and man of God, and the insights and stories he shares in this episode are wise, entertaining, and supremely valuable.

Dr. Ellen Reed is back! In this episode, we continue unpacking "The Framework of Achievement," which is the scientifically proven and easy-to-implement tool presented in Dr. Reed's book, Relentless Solution Focus (co-authored with Dr. Jason Selk). Specifically, we identify three most common mistakes of goal-setting, how to identify a goal that is concrete, measurable, and meaningful to you; and how to formulate and execute the process for achieving that goal. Let's face it: a critical key to fulfillment in life is having goals and actually achieving them. This is a masterclass for exactly how to do that!

By now, it's cliché to hear experts like Simon Sinek say, "To be successful, you have to know your why." You need to connect with a vision of what matters to you to motivate yourself to take action. Yes, it's cliché and a well-worn topic – but it's also true and absolutely essential if you want to elevate your performance, enjoy your life, and make the most of your time on Earth. In this episode, Dr. Ellen Reed, performance coach, and New York Times bestselling author, returns to the show to talk with me about creating a vision for your life – and connecting with that vision in a way that motivates you to take action. From scientifically proven principles to help you transform "I have to" into "I want to," to practical guidance on crafting a purpose statement and establishing long-term priorities, this is a conversation I know will provide you enormous value.

Should a follower of Jesus be ambitious? If so, what does that look like? This is the central question that Derek, Steph, and I discuss, while artfully weaving 2024 resolutions (New Year, New You?) and extemporaneous reflections on sex, beauty, nudity, and modesty into the conversation. Trust me: there are at least 7 minutes of life-changing content in this episode.
