  S2 Episode10 - Chemo Killer

  Sep 13, 20261h 36mS2

  What does it take to stare down a terminal diagnosis and choose to keep moving forward? In this powerful episode, we sit down with athlete, author, and speaker James Logan to explore his extraordinary journey of resilience, purpose, and relentless grit. Diagnosed in 2024 at age 59 with Stage 4 metastatic colorectal cancer and given a 6-to-24-month life expectancy, James refused to let the timeline define his destination. Now well past that initial prognosis and navigating his 27th treatment, James continues to train for IRONMAN triathlons, share his message of courage, and prove that adversity doesn't have to mean defeat. James unpacks his signature DSSP framework—Discipline, Sacrifice, Suffering, and Pain —explaining how decades as a carpenter, roofer, and endurance athlete built the mental armor he needed to confront the darkest moments of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries. We dive deep into his 13-month journey writing his new book, Just Keep Tri-ing , his mission to raise $100,000 for the IRONMAN Foundation, and why he firmly believes that "Terminal was not the end, it was the beginning." Whether you are facing a life-altering health battle, a professional hurdle, or simply looking to eliminate complacency from your daily routine, James’s story offers an unforgettable masterclass in what it truly means to live boldly. ️ Catalyst Comms: Anything & Everything Everybody has a story.

  S2 Episode8 - The Mile High Club

  Aug 30, 20261h 42mS2

  What does it take to build a career in the skies when the people in charge tell you that you don't belong? In this episode, we sit down with seasoned corporate aviator Captain Bob to unpack his journey from growing up in Arizona to commanding top-tier aircraft well above commercial flight paths. Bob shares the candid story of facing flight school professors who tried to have him removed from the program, the critical decision that kept him enrolled, and how he turned early doubt into fuel for a decades-long career. We pull back the curtain on the corporate aviation industry, exploring: The Reality of Corporate Aviation: How flying corporate differs from the standard airline path, from unpredictable schedules to managing 18-day stretches on the road without losing your personal life. Life Above 40,000 Feet: What the world looks like from the flight levels where corporate jets cruise, and how flight dynamics shift at extreme altitudes. The Pilot's Cockpit Mindset: Balancing high-stakes confidence with essential humility, knowing your aircraft limits, and mastering multiple airframes. Mentoring the Next Generation: Key advice for aspiring pilots and what Captain Bob would say today to the student pilot who almost walked away. Whether you are an aspiring aviator, a seasoned aviation enthusiast, or simply looking for an inspiring story about resilience and mastering a craft against the odds, this conversation offers an unfiltered look at what it truly takes to earn your wings. ️ Catalyst Comms: Anything & Everything Everybody has a story.

  S2 Episode7 - Recap IV

  Aug 23, 20261h 5mS2

  Six guests. Six completely different lives. And that's the point. We aren't looking for a certain type of guest. We don't care about titles, fame, followers, politics, or whether everybody agrees. We care about the story. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes Phillip Petersen cries. Sometimes we get serious. Sometimes Phillip Petersen OCD kicks in. Sometimes the conversation goes somewhere none of us expected. But every time, we try to get beyond the surface and meet the person behind the story. And we're just getting started. Thank you to Matt, Devi, Kelly, Bryan, Calvin, and Monique for trusting two retired Navy guys with your stories—and thank you to everyone who continues to watch, listen, share, comment, and support what we're building. There are a lot more conversations coming. ️ Catalyst Comms: Anything & Everything Everybody has a story. We just give them a place to tell it.

  S2 Episode 6 - Monique Reeves

  Aug 16, 20262h 8mS2

  On this episode of Catalyst Comms, Phil and Dan sit down with Nurse Practitioner Monique Reeves for an unfiltered, deeply personal conversation about resilience, survival, and a lifetime on the frontlines of care. From her small-town roots in Quanah, Texas, to watching her mother recover from a brain tumor, to starting nursing school at age 17, Monique’s work ethic was forged early. She opens up about surviving and escaping a severe abusive marriage, rebuilding a stable life with her husband Sean, and how those personal trials shaped her approach to raising her five children. With 26 years in healthcare, Monique takes us inside the raw reality of the COVID-19 pandemic in long-term care facilities, standing in for families during "Last Walk" ceremonies, and reflects on the systemic shifts that followed. She breaks down her current work in hospice care, balancing deep empathy with emotional compartmentalization to help patients die with dignity. Finally, Monique shares what drove her to step into pediatric mental health following her daughter’s experience with bullying, how she tackled a massive caseload gap, and why she took to social media to share her viral "Mental Health Minute" Reels. https://www.facebook.com/HubCityPsychiatryClinic/videos/ Got a killer story, a wild recommendation, or think you belong in the hot seat for an episode?
