Welcome to All Can, No Can't – the podcast where we turn "I can’t" into "I can" and transform challenges into opportunities. I’m your host, Jeff Luther, and I started this journey after dying on a CrossFit gym floor and getting a life-changing diagnosis. This experience forced me to confront what I thought I couldn’t do—and taught me just how much more I was capable of. Each week, we’ll dive into stories, strategies, and mindset shifts to help you focus on what’s possible—even when life throws you curveballs. Whether it’s personal struggles, professional hurdles, or those quiet doubts that whisper "you’re not enough," this podcast is here to help you push forward. Because when you stop fixating on the can’t and lean into the can, you’ll realize you’re stronger than you ever thought. Let’s do this together.  Let's Master resilience together.

    100: Momentum Isn’t Motivation — It’s Action (30 Seconds at a Time)

    Send us a text https://www.jeffluther.com/ What if the reason you’re stuck isn’t because you can’t do the thing… but because you’re trying to live the next ten years before taking the next 30 seconds? In this powerful 100th episode of All Can No Can’t, Jeff Luther strips away the hype, the confetti, and the “victory lap” expectations to deliver one of the most important lessons of the entire show: momentum doesn’t come from motivation — it comes from doing  This episode is for the person who knows they’re capable of more — but keeps getting trapped in their own head. This conversation is especially for you if: You feel stuck, overwhelmed, or overthinking your next move You’re successful on paper but unfulfilled or restless You keep waiting for clarity, confidence, or certainty before starting You’re afraid that starting something will change your life too much You’ve delayed a goal because you’re worried you “won’t be able to keep it up” Jeff speaks directly to entrepreneurs, high performers, and people navigating major life transitions — especially those rebuilding after setbacks, health challenges, or identity shifts What This Episode Is Really About Rather than celebrating 100 episodes with fireworks, Jeff shares the deeper truth behind consistency, discipline, and resilience: Success is not in the goal. Success is in the action. Drawing from his own experience returning to workouts after a sudden cardiac event, Jeff explains why the first step is often the easiest — and why it’s everything that comes after that keeps people from starting at all  The fear isn’t the action. The fear is the future we imagine. #allcannocant #takeactionnow #stopoverthinking

    099: You’re allowed to be afraid. You’re not allowed to stop living.

    Send us a text Book a free coaching call with Jeff: https://shorturl.at/oe6Il https://www.jeffluther.com/ A powerful solo episode about facing fear, reclaiming control, and choosing courage even when your body—and your beliefs—get shaken. In this raw and vulnerable solo episode of All Can No Can’t, host Jeff Luther shares the terrifying experience of being unexpectedly shocked by his internal defibrillator—moments after finishing a routine workout. What happened next wasn’t just a physical jolt. It shook the belief system he’s carried for years, the belief that he could outrun heart disease through discipline, strength, and mindset. From the bathroom floor to the mirror where he had to tell himself, “You’re okay,” Jeff walks listeners through the emotional, physical, and mental impact of facing the one fear he thought he could keep at bay. This isn’t theory. This is lived experience. This is a real-time example of choosing courage even when fear shows up uninvited. If you’re an entrepreneur, creator, parent, or someone navigating your own invisible battle, this episode will remind you: You are allowed to be afraid. You are not allowed to stop living. 🎧 LISTEN IF YOU ARE… An entrepreneur wrestling with imposter syndrome or pressure Someone facing a health diagnosis while refusing to stop living your life A high achiever who looks fearless on the outside but feels fear on the inside Someone who avoids their “hard thing,” hoping it won’t catch up A person in a transition, facing uncertainty, or rebuilding their identity 🔥 Key Themes What it feels like to be shocked by an internal defibrillator—and the mental aftermath The moment your body forces you to face the fear you pretend isn’t there Why movement keeps fear “at bay” (and why it will never fully disappear) How to parent, lead, and live when your kids or your team are watching your response The difference between fear guiding you and fear driving your decisions What it really means to choose “all can” in the moments that matter most 💡 Episode Takeaways Fear is normal. It is human. It is often wise. Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it's choosing action anyway. How you respond becomes your identity—and your legacy. Your next choice must match your words. When life hands you a mirror moment, you get to decide who you are. 📌 Chapters 00:00 – The moment everything changed 01:26 – The truth Jeff never says out loud 02:29 – Speaking from the bathroom floor 03:30 – The workout that wasn’t extreme 04:34 – Lightheaded… then the drop 05:16 – The shock that hit like a bat 06:30 – The coaching challenge: 50 conversations 07:18 – Realizing he can’t outrun heart disease 08:36 – Learning to live intentionally 09:33 – Considering having the device removed 10:10 – When the shock hits your belief system 11:01 – The real fear: not one shock, but many 12:21 – The frustration of living on guard 13:17 – What his kids are learning by watching 14:06 – Fear can ride in the car—but it cannot drive 15:05 – What people should really be asking 16:14 – The power of choosing your next move 17:01 – Was it worth it?

    098: From Rock Bottom to Rebirth: How Angie Hawkins Stopped Numbing Out & Started Running in Slippers

    Send us a text In this raw and honest episode of All Can No Can’t, Jeff sits down with Angie Hawkins – coach and author of Running in Slippers – to talk about what it really takes to heal old wounds, stop playing the victim, and build a life that actually feels like yours.  Angie grew up with emotionally unavailable parents, a highly critical mom, and learned early on that perfectionism and overachieving were the only ways to avoid criticism. As an adult, that turned into corporate burnout, people-pleasing, emotional numbing, and chasing happiness through external things — a move to Hawaii, relationships, achievements, and “checking the boxes.”  When a breakup, grief, isolation, job fear, and a flooded condo all collided — and then COVID hit — Angie spiraled into hopelessness and attempted to end her life. She overdosed on anxiety meds, blacked out, and woke up in the hospital angry that she’d survived… until a friend told her, “It’s not your time.” That sentence changed everything.  If you’ve ever felt stuck, burned out, unhappy, or like happiness just isn’t “for you,” this episode is a lifeline. 💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: How emotionally unavailable parents and criticism create perfectionism and overachievingWhy so many adults feel numb, unfulfilled, and like happiness isn’t available What emotional regulation actually means and how to feel anger, sadness, and anxiety without being swallowed by themWhy numbing your “negative” emotions also turns off your joy and excitementHow women (and men) are conditioned to ignore their own needs, and how to start asking: “What do I want?”Angie’s GLOW Method framework:G – Go back to your childhoodL – Light yourself upO – Overcome external validationW – Welcome yourself back home Practical ways to reconnect with what lit you up as a kidHow to start doing one thing every day that brings you joy, even if nothing else in your life changes yet 00:00 – Angie’s childhood: criticism, emotional neglect & perfectionism05:00 – “My parents did what they could” & understanding emotional unavailability08:00 – How perfectionism became a survival strategy 10:00 – Feeling unfulfilled but believing happiness isn’t available11:30 – The move from Chicago to Hawaii: trying to outrun her problems17:00 – Job fear, loneliness, flooded condo & the slow unraveling19:00 – COVID, breakup, and the rock-bottom overdose20:00 – “It’s not your time” — the words that changed her life23:00 – Why she wrote Running in Slippers & what the title means25:00 – Emotional bypassing vs. healing “in earnest”27:00 – Emotional regulation and learning to feel safe in your body30:00 – Numbing out, men and women, and why so many people feel nothing32:00 – The GLOW Method explained👤 Connect with Angie Hawkins 🌐 Website & Book: Running in Slippers – coaching, book info & her Shine From the Inside program: runninginslippers.com💪 Work with Jeff If you’re a high performer who feels like you’re fighting something you can’t see, Jeff helps you control the chaos and take back your life.

    096: Digital Detox: Reclaiming Connection in an Anxious World with Kelsey Green

    Send us a text https://www.jeffluther.com/ What if the thing stealing your focus, your peace, and your connection… was in your hand right now? In this episode of All Can No Can’t, host Jeff Luther sits down with Kelsey Green — community strategist, accountability coach, and founder of Summit in Six Mastermind — to explore how our digital habits are quietly shaping our happiness, attention, and ability to connect. Kelsey helps ambitious leaders turn big ideas into action through structure, accountability, and community. But today, she opens up about something deeper — how burnout, disconnection, and “fake dopamine” led her to rebuild her life with new rules for focus, digital boundaries, and real human connection. Together, Jeff and Kelsey unpack the modern addiction we don’t like to call an addiction — our phones — and what it takes to regain control, presence, and purpose in a hyperconnected world. You’ll learn: How “fake dopamine” from screens impacts your focus and motivation Why discipline is freedom when it comes to your digital habits How the “loneliness epidemic” is connected to constant online noise Simple ways to build real relationships in an age of isolation Why setting boundaries with yourself matters most How to find safety, accountability, and connection offline If you’ve ever caught yourself doomscrolling and wondering where your day — or your focus — went, this conversation is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed. Chapters 00:00 – Welcome to All Can No Can’t  03:20 – Meet Kelsey Green: from burnout to boundaries  09:00 – The dopamine hit we don’t talk about  14:45 – Foraging for “fake dopamine” and losing real joy  22:00 – Digital minimalism and the cost of constant input  28:15 – How our devices fuel the loneliness epidemic  35:00 – What it means to be present again  42:30 – Boundaries, discipline, and redefining control  50:00 – From busyness to balance — learning digital minimalism  58:00 – Building “Summit in 6” and turning ideas into results  1:08:00 – Real connection, rejection, and rebuilding community  1:18:00 – Screen-Free Sundays and digital detox challenges  1:25:00 – How to reclaim your focus and your life Key Takeaways We’re addicted to distraction — and awareness is the first step out. Real connection requires presence — not proximity. Discipline creates freedom, not restriction. Boundaries with yourself are the foundation of success. The most successful people protect their attention.
