#188 - Turning Setbacks Into Fuel || When Life Falls Apart, with John Ulsh (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Ulsh was a thirty-six-year-old marathon runner with a young family and a good life. One turn onto a scenic road ended it in an instant. What followed was eighteen days in a coma, forty-five surgeries, and a long stretch in a nursing home where he could not brush his own teeth. The comeback most people imagine is a straight line up. John's was not. He talks openly here about the anger, the nights that were always the worst, the year he sat still because he was not ready to commit, and the lo
#187 - Reinvention: Why it’s never too late to change, credentials don’t matter, and there are no small moments (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jay Sargeant has never had a job. At 79, he is building his eighth working life. Before that he was a community organizer, a tennis professional, a franchise developer, an NLP training consultant, the builder of a distributor network, and, starting at 72, a pickleball coach.

#185 - Why Motivation Fades in a Week and Rhythm Doesn't | David Ray Fullmer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
David Ray Fullmer moved 29 times before he turned 17, was homeless at 15, and grew up as one of thirteen children. He is now a roofing contractor working across 18 states, and the creator of a seven-day framework he calls Becoming Seven, or B7. The premise is that you cannot hold every personal development principle at once, so you stop trying. You give each day of the week one attribute and let the week carry the load: Motivation Monday: read your why Tracking Tuesday: observe and correct your
#184 - Dan Shapiro on Chess, Confidence, and Kids Who Don't Fit the Mold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not every kid finds their confidence on a field, a stage, or a court. Dan Shapiro's son found his across sixty-four squares. Dan Shapiro has spent nearly three decades in the investment industry. When remote school arrived in 2020, he and his wife started noticing things in their younger son that were hard to watch. Distraction that would not lift. Not responding to his name. Walking in circles in his room. The family went looking for help and came back with a term Dan had never heard before: tw
