The Up and Comers Show

What if it were easy? At first blush, this question seems overly optimistic and almost like a fantasy. Yet this question has been powerful in Thane Marcus Ringler's own life and thoughts this past month and he hope it can be for you as well. In this episode, Thane talks about making changes and shifting priorities and opens up about his personal experience with the question. The goal of asking this question is not to pretend that life is easy, that making change is easy, or that embracing discomfort and walking forward despite your fears is an easy thing to do. The point is things that are worthwhile and meaningful aren't easy, so the next time you find yourself paralyzed from the largeness of whatever it is you're experiencing, ask yourself, "What if it were easy?"

From childhood, we've been taught to do things on our own and rely on our abilities to face challenges, but can we really do it alone? In this fellowship episode, keynote speaker and entrepreneur True Tamplin talks about reliance on God in all aspects of life. True opens up about what an inspired life looks like and how to balance confidence with humility in admitting that a "backup" is needed to succeed in life. His example is a testament that no matter how accomplished you are, it's not really all because of you. He also touches on entrepreneurship with a purpose and finding joy in seeing a change in people's lives.

Life is inevitably filled with tensions, and the best way to live in the midst of the tensions is with intentionality, that is, infusing intention into all we do. Someone living with intentionality so well is Houston Kraft. Houston is a speaker, curriculum developer, and kindness advocate who has spoken at over 600 events internationally. In 2016, he cofounded CharacterStrong, a curriculum and training that transforms the way schools teach the whole child through social-emotional learning, character education, and equipping educators with practical tools to create a compassionate culture on their campus daily. Today, Houston focuses on how they're building strong character and sustainable growth in education. We also dive into various topics that include challenging our paradigms, empathy and building it through play, the current challenges facing education and the next generation, being helpful versus being right, the power of human connection, mentorship and fellowship, priorities and how boundaries help create compassion, listening and asking good questions, and so much more!

As Americans, we have a civic duty and responsibility to protect the freedoms that this country was founded upon. At its core, this original foundation is based upon the equality of all humans - the belief that every human being is created in the image of God, meaning that everyone has worth and value that cannot be taken away. Yet, it's also an understanding that we are fallen humans and capable of much evil just as much as we are capable of incredible good. This two-fold view is what made America different from every prior form of government. However, in our current society, this freedom and original foundation rest in a perilous place as we have begun to spend all our energy pinpointing the flaws and finding ways to discredit others instead of admiring the good and praising the heroic. Don't turn a blind eye to the hurt, pain, and injustice of our nation and our world. In this episode, Thane Marcus Ringler shifts the focus on liberty and equality for all as a beacon of hope.
