Have you ever found yourself paralyzed in a moment when you should've been at your best? Imagine the agony of athletes facing the dreaded "YIPS," a baffling loss of control over their honed skills at the worst possible time. Dr. Jim Taylor, a lifetime elite athlete and renowned mental coach, joins me to unpack the psychological battle athletes face in high-stakes situations. Together, we delve into how embracing personal values can be the bedrock of mental resilience during these critical moments of performance pressure.

Strap in as we journey through the landscape of personal values, those internal compasses that guide our choices and infuse our endeavors with authenticity. I share tales from my own life that illuminate the power of 'pure rocket fuel' (as Dr. Taylor calls it)—the true values that propel us towards a life of meaning, satisfaction, joy, and connections—contrasted against the 'contaminated fuel' of societal pressures. Dr. Taylor brings life to the conversation with insights on aligning our actions with our core beliefs, crafting a life of genuine achievement and mental well-being that resists society's toxic messages.

Finally, we celebrate the sheer audacity of taking risks and the transformative impact of facing our fears head-on. Remember the time you didn't ask for that promotion or invite that potential date for coffee? We dissect what it means to 'take your shot' in life, drawing from personal experiences and the wisdom of sports icons like Gretzky and Jordan. And for those moments when the path ahead seems obscured, we discuss how leaps of faith can lead to personal growth, turning possibility into reality. It's a thrilling  journey through values, mental challenges, and the essence of seizing life's opportunities—join us for a thought-provoking voyage as we redefine what it means to live courageously and authentically.

What if you could redefine who you are after a significant loss of personal identity? Our latest episode features a riveting conversation with Michael Herst, a former law enforcement officer who spent the better part of two decades protecting and serving. Now, he's using his voice in a whole new way, sharing his journey and insights through the power of podcasting.

Coming from a challenging background, Michael Herst shares his personal exploration of resilience and purpose. He recounts his time in law enforcement, working on various task forces, and maintaining a precarious balance between career and family. Later, a life-altering injury led him down a path of rediscovery, where he found strength in his family's love and support and an inspiring moment with his daughter. Drawing parallels to The Hero with a Thousand Faces, we explore the universal journey of transformation that defines our human experience.

As we move deeper into our discussion, we discover how podcasting has served as a therapeutic medium for Michael. Known for his One More Thing Before You Go podcast, he discusses the importance of communication and the power it holds in forming meaningful relationships. Not one to shy away from deep conversations, he encourages us to ditch our phones for a while and engage in dialogue that truly matters. As we wrap up our episode, we express our heartfelt gratitude to our listeners and show partners. Don't forget, new episodes air every Monday at 9 am Eastern Standard Time. Tune in, and let's continue to learn, grow, and engage in meaningful conversations.

Music weaves through the fabric of our lives, stitching together memories and emotions that define who we are. Join me, Josh Porthouse, and the insightful Jesse Jackson from Set Lusting Bruce, as we unpack the melodies that escort us back to defining moments, fostering a sense of belonging that resonates deep within. From the rhythm that ties us to our past, to the tunes that soundtrack our present, we consider how music shapes our connections and echoes the core values of collaboration and belonging.

Values and personal growth take the spotlight as I reflect on my upbringing within a military family and its influence on my leadership and life's principles. Jesse and I examine the importance of setting clear expectations and informed consent, drawing parallels to Kenneth Dobson's parenting wisdom and how these concepts translate into our professional lives. Sharing candid anecdotes, we explore the necessity of humility and the profound impact of acknowledging our missteps, embracing the transformative power of admitting when we're wrong, and the growth that comes from such honesty.

Lastly, we address the challenge of maintaining positivity and self-reliance amidst life's tumultuous transitions. We delve into the tension between the comfort of feeling right and the courage it takes to confront potential wrongs, touching on personal conflicts and professional uncertainties. From the battlefield of military deployment to the battlefield of daily life, we share strategies for confronting change with a realistic and adaptable mindset. As we close, we express our heartfelt appreciation to our listeners, inviting you to continue this journey with us, as we collectively navigate and celebrate the evolving values that make up the soundtrack of our lives.
