  A Cheating Friend, Earning Back Your Wife's Trust, and When Keeping the Peace Becomes Cowardice | ASK ME ANYTHING

  Oct 7, 20261h 8m

  Ryan Michler and Kipp Sorensen tackle six questions about friendship, marriage, parenting, career, preparedness, and personal growth. They discuss how to confront a friend who is cheating, rebuild credibility after repeatedly abandoning self-improvement efforts, and navigate a teenager's decision to skip college for the trades. They also explore the line between healthy preparedness and obsession, maintaining boundaries in a co-parenting situation, and whether loyalty to an employer is still worthwhile. Throughout the episode, Ryan and Kipp return to a common theme: consistency, responsibility, and taking ownership of your choices rather than waiting for circumstances or other people to change.

  RON WHITE | A Trained Brain Is a Powerful Tool

  Oct 6, 20261h 16m

  If you forget a man's name two seconds after he says it, your memory isn't the problem. You weren't listening. That's the case my guest today, two-time USA Memory Champion Ron White , makes, and he backs it up with a system any man can use: ask yourself one well-worded question before you shake a hand, pin the name to the most distinctive feature on the face, and review it before the forgetting curve wipes it out. We also build a mind palace in real time using the furniture in my studio. Ron shows how the same method lets you give a speech without notes, retain what you paid to learn at a conference, carry a to-do list in your head, and remember the script when a customer objects. We get into why action and emotion lock things into long-term memory, the major system and character-action-object method he used to memorize a deck of cards in record time, and why memory comes down to training and intention, not talent. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Epsiode Introduction 04:20 - Connecting with Corey 04:44 - The "Brain Athlete" Shirt & Andy Elliott's Advice 07:06 - 3-Minute Street Hacks for Learning Fast 08:13 - The Mind Palace System for Public Speaking 12:07 - Walkthrough: Memorizing Five Speech Points 15:07 - Visuals, Action, & Emotion in Memory 20:30 - Practical Everyday Memory Applications 23:56 - Overcoming the "Bad with Names" Excuse 25:40 - Calming Brain Chatter with Focused Questions 28:13 - Linking Names to Facial Features 32:20 - USA Memory Records & The Major System 38:42 - Advanced Memory Palace: Character-Action-Object (CAO) 46:43 - How Rhythm and Music Lock In Information 48:38 - Body and Vehicle Palaces for Daily To-Do Lists 52:59 - Retaining Key Points from Conferences & Seminars 01:00:15 - Review Systems & The Phone Flashcard Hack 01:04:15 - How a Telemarketing Call Launched Ron's Memory Career 01:06:10 - Keynote Speaking & Memorizing Sales Scripts 01:09:20 - Memorizing 7,500 Fallen Soldiers & Media Audits 01:11:43 - Guest Socials and Course Info Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

  Cornell: Where Have the Real Men Gone? | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

  CASEY LOFTHOUSE | Creating Impact Over Income

  Sep 29, 20261h 24m

  Most men are chasing a dent in the world, followers, recognition, a bigger stage, while overlooking the one place they can make the biggest difference: the town they live in and the people right next to them. Today's conversation is about impact over income, why being known by ten thousand people in your own community beats being famous online, and why we're robbing our kids by shielding them from the consequences of their bad choices. We also get into giving yourself permission to try new things without committing to them forever, managing risk without letting fear run your life, and knowing when to say no so service doesn't burn you out. My guest, Casey Lofthouse , is a mechanic, tow operator, former search and rescue volunteer, mule packer, country line-dancer, and one of the most capable and generous men I know. He's also someone I'd call first if I were in a pickle. If you've ever felt like you don't matter because you're not "making your mark," this conversation will change how you see your own value. Whether you're broke down, stuck in the sand, or just having a bad day, it's all part of the adventure. What matters is who shows up. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - From Making Money to Making an Impact 04:43 - The Power of Small-Town Accountability 09:09 - Teaching Kids Personal Responsibility 11:19 - Why Authenticity Matters 13:29 - The Importance of Personal Accountability 15:19 - Raising Kids to Be Responsible Adults 19:12 - Learning From the Consequences of Your Choices 25:29 - The Masculine Side of Art, Music, and Dance 29:21 - Give Yourself Permission to Try New Things 34:52 - Understanding Risk and Knowing Your Limits 40:58 - How Community Creates Lifelong Relationships 45:06 - The Impact of Serving Others 49:06 - Being There When People Need You 53:03 - Setting an Example When People Are Watching 56:59 - Living Authentically in a Social Media World 58:32 - The Unexpected Connections That Come From Helping People 01:00:54 - Why Serving Others Is So Rewarding 01:02:50 - Knowing When to Say No 01:05:07 - Knowing When It's Time to Move On 01:06:55 - Raising Kids Who Surpass You 01:08:00 - What's Next for Casey? 01:10:23 - Becoming the Best Version of Yourself 01:12:19 - Casey's Off-Road Recovery and Life in the Community Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!
