    Health as a Leadership Strategy: Fat Loss, Energy, and Better Labs After 40 with Brian Parana

    Why do so many men who "know what to do" still can't seem to lose the weight, fix their energy, or improve their blood work? Brian Parana is a men's health coach with over 20 years of experience helping busy, high-performing men over 40 lose fat, improve their labs, and get their energy back without turning fitness into a second job. He's coached thousands of clients, including Olympians and CrossFit Games champions, but his real focus is regular guys, executives, business owners, and dads, who feel disconnected from the version of themselves they still see in their head. In this episode, Brian breaks down the biggest mistake busy men make when trying to lose fat, the first three habits he'd fix for a man with low energy and weight gain, and what "protein-first" actually means in real life. He also explains how to build consistency when your schedule is chaotic or you travel constantly, and why health should be treated as a leadership strategy, not just a personal goal.

    Filling Prescriptions for Knowing God with Dr. Gerald "Dr G" Robison

    "They took my tongue, but I can't talk about it!" After surviving tongue cancer twice, and receiving tissue from both a cadaver and his own arm to rebuild his tongue, Dr. Gerald Robison, affectionately known as "Dr G," brings humor to some of Christianity's hardest questions. Having pastored churches on three continents and trained Bible teachers in over 25 countries, Dr G is the author of roughly 20 books, including 30-Seconds That Can Change Your Life and The Final Curtain: How Do You Want to Die? In this episode, he shares what it was like anticipating his own death, why he believes the question "Why?" is often an accusation aimed at God rather than a genuine question, and how he helps Christians move past knowing what they "ought" to do toward actually wanting to do it. He also opens up about writing extensively on the strange and unusual animals God created, and what that reveals about His character.

    The No BS Guide for Caregivers: What the Healthcare System Won't Tell You with Tiffany Auvil

    Tiffany Auvil spent more than twenty years inside the U.S. healthcare system before becoming the caregiver for her own husband, Dave, through cancer. That experience revealed just how much even her professional knowledge couldn't protect them. Dave passed away at home in April 2025. She's now the author of the upcoming book, The No BS Guide for Caregivers: How to Survive the Healthcare Maze. In this episode, Tiffany shares what being on the other side of the bed taught her that two decades of nursing never did, the night a clerical error nearly cost Dave the start of his cancer treatment, and why so much feel-good caregiving advice does more harm than good. She also opens up about being with Dave when he died at home, and what the first year of widowhood really looks like.

    Curiosity Before Conclusion: Understanding High-Functioning Trauma with Sally-Anne Haug

    What happens when a cancer survivor turns performance art into a lifeline, painting portraits while riding a skateboard?
