    #252 Brutal Consistency: Fitness, Faith and Showing Up

    Send us Fan Mail Guests:  Liz Draven Hope @lizzzliftsss Sebastian Pierce  @seabasslift_ Mentions: Warren Biesiadecki  @warrenbies50 Alex Eubank  @alex_eubank15 In this episode of The Scott Townsend Show, I sit down with Liz Draven Hope and Sebastian Pierce for an honest conversation about fitness, discipline, and what it really means to put yourself out there publicly. We talk about how working out becomes more than just physical transformation—it turns into confidence, accountability, mental health, and even leadership. We dive into why they decided to start documenting their fitness journeys on Instagram and TikTok, the vulnerability that comes with posting online, and how social media can either motivate you or make you second-guess yourself. We talk about gym routines, dirty bulks, meal struggles, rest days, hot yoga, balancing school and work, and how hard it can be to simply stay consistent. We also get into the deeper reasons behind getting healthier—breaking family cycles, managing stress and anxiety, improving mental health, and learning how to keep promises to yourself. Faith plays a big role in the conversation too, as we discuss discipline, reading the Bible, being intentional with your time, and what I like to call “brutal consistency.” This episode is really about becoming the kind of person who shows up—even when it’s hard. Because success isn’t always about getting in perfect shape. Sometimes it’s just about doing what you said you were going to do. Support the show I ♥ my podcast host @Buzzsprout.

    #251 One Less Day, One More Chance

    Send us Fan Mail A single Instagram line flips our mindset from “one more day” to “one less day,” and that change sharpens how we live right now. We trade delay for urgency, not to feel heavy, but to choose what matters and act on it today.  • reframing time as finite instead of unlimited  • seeing “one less day” as a wake-up call  • grounding urgency in faith and the idea that God numbers our days  • replacing drifting with choosing based on what matters  • questioning delay and confronting the “later” habit  • treating time as the most valuable asset  • acting today through simple steps like making the call and fixing what needs fixing  For more episodes, visit the Scott Townsend Show YouTube channel, listen on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.

    #250 Seven Leadership Regrets And How To Avoid Them

    Send us Fan Mail We sit down with April Whitson, Global VP of HR for ABB and author of The Stay Challenge, to unpack seven leadership regrets and how intentional habits prevent them. From regrettable retention to culture drift, we share practical moves that raise standards, protect trust, and improve results. • work–life integration replacing identity-through-work • regrettable retention and the cost of keeping disengagement • silent complicity and fear of conflict • asking for and giving useful feedback • missed growth through lack of stretch assignments • intentional leadership over adding more tasks • values as observable behaviors, not posters • clarifying purpose and aligning with company values • team-level culture shaped by daily leader habits • emotional blind spots and practical EQ • decision drift and timely hard calls • burnout betrayal and modeling healthy limits • culture drift and keeping hands on the wheel Highly suggest you get her book, The Stay Challenge, and subscribe to her newsletter.

    #249 The UP Project - My Journey To Watching UP 50 Times

    Send us Fan Mail What if sitting with one story could change how you see your life? We launch the Up Project with a bold commitment: fifty viewings of Pixar’s Up, each one an experiment in attention, emotion, and meaning. Rather than chasing the next hot take, we trade speed for depth and explore how repetition turns a familiar plot into a mirror that reflects who we are today. We talk about the first-viewing jolt of that quiet opening montage, then trace the shift that happens on the tenth and twentieth passes, when surprise fades and noticing takes over. Without novelty to hide behind, the only variable left is us—our mood, our season, our grief, our gratitude. That’s where the film reveals its quiet power. The house becomes more than a balloon-lifted icon; it’s weight, memory, and the cost of holding on too long. Russell transforms from comic relief into an unexpected invitation to soften. Carl’s arc feels less like a lesson and more like a lived reminder that letting go is not betrayal, but a form of love. Across this conversation, we lean into questions that open rather than close: Why does the same scene hurt one day and heal the next? What do we miss when we only watch once? Can patience turn entertainment into insight? By staying with a single story, we practice a slower way of seeing that honors nuance over noise. You’ll leave with a fresh lens for rewatching, a framework for noticing, and an invitation to revisit a favorite film, chapter, or poem until its quiet truths surface. If this resonates, follow the show, share this episode with someone who loves Up, and leave a review with the one scene you notice differently now. Your reflections shape where we go next.

    #248 From Plato To Picture Of Dorian Gray: A Year Of Deep Reading And What It Teaches Us

    Send us Fan Mail In this third annual Christmas tradition, I welcome Eric back to the show for a wide-ranging conversation about books, reading, and the lifelong pursuit of understanding. We talk about his ambitious “great books” journey—now stretching toward what may become a 40-year project—covering everything from Greek tragedies and Plato’s dialogues to Confucius, Viktor Frankl, and modern classics. We dig into Eric’s disciplined reading habits, his yearly practice of starting January and February by reading the Bible (including his experience with the King James Version this year), and how he structures his reading year to stay motivated without burning out. We also explore big ideas like Plato’s theory of forms, the difference between philosophers and sophists, how ancient texts continue to shape modern thinking, and how AI can be used responsibly to deepen understanding—after you’ve done the hard work of reading. Eric shares the books that stood out most to him this year, including The Picture of Dorian Gray, Man’s Search for Meaning, The Analects of Confucius, and The Idea Machine, along with the powerful concept of finding a “single thread” that ties together everything you read. We close with practical, encouraging advice for anyone who wants to read more: start with what you love, and let curiosity do the rest. This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation for readers, thinkers, and anyone looking to build a richer reading life—perfect for closing out the year and setting the tone for the next one.

    #246 Angie Jordan - Seeing the World Through the Art of Caricature

    Send us Fan Mail Likeness isn’t luck—it’s design. On this episode, I sit down with live digital caricature artist Angie Jordan to explore how she turns a trade show aisle into a packed crowd and a stream of branded keepsakes. Angie breaks down the math behind caricature—allocating space to the biggest feature, exaggerating for clarity, and composing faces that are often more recognizable than a photo. She shares how she teaches kids with her “30-box” method, reads silhouettes at a hundred feet, and blends drafting precision, showmanship, and portable tech—from Wacom tablets and compact rigs to fast printers and client-facing TVs. We also talk branding, style, and influence, from Hanna-Barbera to Al Hirschfeld, Steven Silver, and Tom Richmond, and why embracing quirks often beats chasing symmetry. If you’re planning a booth, corporate event, or wedding, Angie offers practical tactics to drive dwell time, spark conversations, and create shareable art that keeps your brand in the feed. Check out her work and book Angie at angiejordan.com and on Instagram at @AngieJordan7.

    #245 Jacquelyn LaMar Berney - You Don’t Need To Chase Likes To Build Trust

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Scott Townsend Show, I reconnect with longtime friend and marketing leader Jacquelyn LaMar Berney, President of VI Marketing and Branding in Oklahoma City. Jacquelyn—an accomplished marketer, community leader, and trustee for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art—joins me for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about authenticity, personal branding, and the strange new world of LinkedIn advice. Jacquelyn and I unpack a recent post she wrote that began with the bold opener: “LinkedIn advice is worthless.” That hook sparked a deep dive into why people chase engagement, how AI-generated posts are changing the platform, and why contradictory “thought leadership” leaves people confused rather than helped. We talk about the “Harvard Trust Triangle,” what it means to have a “wobble” in how others perceive your empathy, logic, or authenticity, and how to show up as your real self without oversharing. Jacquelyn also reflects on the evolution of LinkedIn—from résumé site, to networking hub, to something that sometimes feels like Tinder-for-business. Together, we explore: Whether authenticity is still possible in an algorithm-driven worldHow personal brands are built (whether you mean to build one or not)Why trend-chasing feels hollowHow to genuinely help people without turning into an “influencer”It’s a smart, funny, and honest conversation about the tension between being yourself and performing yourself online—and why showing up with integrity still matters.
