How many times have you found yourself feeling stuck? Countless, right?! Too often we ALL find ourselves going through the motions, scared to make the wrong move, thinking we need “more” to move forward, or simply feeling disconnected from the things that matter most. In this episode, we’re sitting down with Jerry Dugan of Beyond the Rut podcast to talk truths about "the rut" and how to get unstuck in 5 key areas of our lives so we can live life "beyond the rut".
“We only have one life and it’s too dang short to live it stuck in a rut. It’s just not worth it. So may as well...take that leap of faith, make your own path, and live the path you’ve always dreamed of living.” - Jerry Dugan
Jerry Dugan is the producer and host of Beyond the Rut podcast, a show that discusses getting unstuck in the areas of faith, family, fitness, finances, and future possibility to inspire and equip listeners to pursue the life they’ve always dreamed of living beyond the rut.

Do you know at what point in your life you stopped adding your spark to life? At what point you started believing that the only way to do it is the way you’ve seen others do it? That the only to win is to win the way that others have won? What if instead you could restore your thinking and shift your perspective on “how” things are done? What if you added your spark back to the world and paved a path that both helped pave a way for others AND helped you welcome “more” into your life?
If you ever find yourself frustrated, feeling like you're not following THE path, or feeling like you've lost the map, this episode will remind you of the truth in “YOUR” path.

Why are we all addicted to seeking affirmations, validation, and approval from everyone and for everything. Why do we feel like we need to be loved by all, our work liked by all, and that everyone must take notice of all that we do? Why do we let people, jobs, titles, comments, conversations, posts, and pictures define and affirm us?
The truth is we've gotten so much of this wrong and we've given others far too much power over what we do, how we do it, why we do it, what we create, what we share, and what we become. Let this episode serve as your check-up for where you’re looking, why you’re looking, and what really matters.

Real stories. Honest conversations. Better questions for real life.
The world is full of hacks for a better life. But a meaningful life isn't built on shortcuts—it’s built in the ordinary, messy, beautiful middle of it all.
I’m 40, I’m raising boys, and I’ve started asking different questions than I did twenty years ago.
What does success actually look like now? What if what worked in one season doesn’t work in the next? What really matters—and what are we spending too much energy chasing?
Each week on The Tried & Truth Podcast, we sit down with authors, entrepreneurs, experts, and thought leaders to explore the questions and honest conversations that surface as life changes.
This isn't about having it all figured out. It’s about finding perspective, asking better questions, and discovering what it looks like to grow, live with intention, and define (or maybe redefine) success for yourself along the way.
Every episode ends with quick takeaways and one grounding question:
What does success look like to you?
Because the definition of a good life can change—and sometimes the questions we need to ask change with it.
No fluff. Just honest conversations, practical perspective, and a little more clarity for the road ahead.
