What's The Point

A VERY SPECIAL guest in the Ardmor Construction studio today...Mr. Mark Meier. Numerous people have emailed us telling each of the hosts to get in the “Hot Seat”. Meier is the first one the guys to share stories and feelings that really allow the listeners to understand his journey that led him to launch the Face It Foundation.

It is Art Lundgren’s time in the Ardmore Construction studio! Art openly talks about depression, anxiety and shame in a way that many of us can relate to. A divorced, recovering alcoholic that has faced so many challenges, shares what he does to keep his life heading forward.

Matthew Shrad enters the Ardmore Studios today. Matthew has been with Face It for a few years and has certainly come a long way. Matthew shares some real life stories about living with shame and how not feeling good enough affected his life. Matthew’s life looks a bit different today, you will love to hear his passion to help young men with their mental health struggles. We are lucky to have Matthew at Face It.

Our friend Chris Hvinden joins the podcast today. Chris shares plenty of stories about family life, time in the military, homelessness and addiction. Even with all these challenges, Chris has turned into a shining light in a rather dark world for our local veterans. He really is an inspiration!

We all have a lot to be grateful for...but sometimes we get caught up in life that we forget about all the wonderful things in our lives. No guest today but the boys discuss how important it is to spend time reminding ourselves of what we are grateful for. Listen in to learn a quick tip called the “ABC’s of Gratitude”.

Today, we are joined by Chad Glader. Chad has been participating at Face it for a while now. He is on to talk about his journey with depression, anxiety and the rest that life can throw at us. This episode has a unique twist...Chad’s wife Amanda sits in to share what it is like being married to someone with depression.

In today’s episode, the guys talk about the relationship between our Physical and mental health. We chat how if we don’t exercise and focus on our physical health that our mood and the way we view ourselves can certainly be affected. Mark, Bill and Mark each share some tips and tricks that have worked for them in keeping their mental and physical health aligned.

Today, the boys are lucky enough to be joined by current Face It member Steve Silverman. Steve opens up about how his life has been affected by depression and anxiety. Steve shares his stories about relationships, children, and career choices. Again, Steve's story has so many common threads in them that we have heard from so many men. Listen in and see if you can relate.

Today, Mark, Bill, and the coach talk about shame and the role it plays in their lives. Maybe you don't think shame plays a role in your life...listen to the guys today and you might hear some things that could change your mind. We can't move forward in our lives until we FACE IT!

The guys are “Coachless” today! Mr. Wick is taking some much deserved time off so Bill and Mark Meier have to try to fill the void. The guys are joined by Shane Weinand, who shares life stories about depression, poor decisions, shame and recovery. Shane has an amazing journey of very low points to putting in the hard work to turn his life in a more positive direction.
