November 09, 2022 11:00 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MB

  Reality or fantasy? Non-fiction or fiction? Truth or deception? What head space are you living in these days?  Today’s conversation on SBD is two regular guys, co-hosts Jared and Chris, talking candidly about what it means to live and behave with a high regard for other people, to live morally, ethically, and biblically.

Ep 254 I'm Offended that You're Offended ft. Jared Haley & Mike Westerdal

October 26, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

Brant Hansen’s book Unoffendable, is the inspiration for this powerful conversation today on Strong By Design featuring hosts Jared Haley and Mike Westerdal. Utilizing his ability to write engaging and humorous stories, Hansen introduces and develops the ideology of becoming a person who is not easily offended. We believe this book is highly beneficial to our American culture that is hypersensitive and easily offended. As followers of Jesus, he is always asking the question, how would Je...

Ep 253 The Freedom of Bare Naked Feet ft. Xero Shoes CEO Steven Sashen

October 19, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MB

  Most of us take for granted how many steps we take in a day. How about in a month, a year or even a lifetime…  For a moderately active adult, that’s 3,650,000 steps in a year or 36.5 million steps in a decade!  Our amazing feet are what connect us to the earth and carry the full weight of our body every day but unfortunately, many of us mistreat our “dogs” without realizing it.  Founder and CEO of Xero Shoes, Steven Sashen, is our guest today on Strong By Design. When it comes to feet,...

Ep 252 Stand Your Ground (even when it's not popular) ft. Joel Penton

October 12, 2022 10:00 - 54 minutes - 37.5 MB

  The message we are so used to hearing is, “Don’t make this mistake like I did…” or “Listen to me because I messed up big time…” and so on.  But what about the person who stood their ground (even from an early age in school) and can speak from experience about making good decisions and the outcomes of those good decisions?  That regardless of the popularity or consequences tied to them… he was going to do the unpopular thing and to go against his peers.  Our guest today, Joel Penton, is...

Ep 251 The World Needs more Muscular Gentlemen ft. Ruston Webb

October 05, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 48.6 MB

When you think of a pride of lions, what comes to mind?  The lionesses do everything, right!? They do most of the hunting and caring for the cubs. So, what about the lions?  Even though it appears that the male lion is lazy, eats much of the food and does not earn his keep, something else is going on entirely. He is patrolling, marking, and guarding his pride. He is the KING and will defend, protect, and provide for his family.   He will roar and claim his territory. This is what a musc...

Ep 249 When One Door Closes Another One Opens ft. Troy Ericson of Lead Paramedic [Part 1]

September 28, 2022 10:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB

  Often times life throws you a curve ball.  And in the case of our special guest today on Strong By Design, life actually took away the opportunity to throw a curve ball.   When purpose and passion are connected at a young age, it’s a wonderful thing and you feel invincible. You actually see yourself living out your dream vividly.   But when you realize the life that you’ve dreamed of is never going to happen, how do you recover? How do you respond? What do you do to reinvent yourself a...

Ep 248 The 5 Steps to Breast Cancer Empowerment ft. Dr. Carol Lourie

September 21, 2022 10:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MB

Here’s the truth — illness starts before the symptoms appear. Treating only the symptoms of a disease does not help you recover your health. You need to get to the bottom of what caused your illness to begin your healing journey.  The path of healing helps you discover not only who you are, but enables you to create the life of your dreams. We support this by addressing the emotional and spiritual components of breast cancer, so deep healing can occur.  “There is always a path for healing.”...

Ep 247 Inside the Mind of a Navy SEAL ft. Larry Yatch

September 14, 2022 10:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MB

  I’ll never forget the moment when my fiancée Anne turned to me after I had been told that I could never be a SEAL again, and said,  “What makes you extraordinary isn’t what you can do physically. It's how your brain works, how you think.” (from sealteamleaders.com/about)  Larry Yatch is a retired US Navy Seal Officer - a 10-year veteran. And boy does Strong By Design love our military heroes. Thank you, God, for these brave men and women!  He's had a 100% success rate leading and plann...

Ep 246 Life Without Self-Doubt, Anxiety, Fears and Self-Sabotage ft. Erin Pheil

September 07, 2022 10:00 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MB

Anxiety, stress, depression and despair seem to be at an all-time high in our culture today. People seem so weighed down by life.  Could it be the fear of failure, overcommitment personally and professionally and what about comparison syndrome… that need to keep up with your peers in a fast-paced world?  Our guest today, Erin Pheil, founded MindFix after discovering the magic formula to getting out of one’s own way following her own 3-year battle with pain and depression.    People are...

Ep 245 45 is the NEW 25 ft. Wade Lightheart

August 31, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MB

Getting older isn’t all it’s cracked up to be… or at least it’s not what it used to be.  We live in a very interesting period in history where science, nutrition and technology are pushing the limits of the aging process. We are literally aging S L O W E R.  Every day breakthroughs and new discoveries are made in real time transforming the way we look at old age. Professional athletes are staying in peak shape for longer stretches of time extending their careers…ahem, Tom Brady. What use...

Ep 244 You ARE what you Eat! ft. Jovanka Ciares

August 24, 2022 10:00 - 56 minutes - 38.6 MB

It may be one of the simplest and most truthful health claims ever… you are what you eat. Especially when it comes to sugar and a poor diet.  Eat doughnuts, French fries, pizza and ice cream on a regular basis and you will look like a walking fast food advertisement. Eat colorful fruits and vegetables, whole fresh foods and high-quality proteins and fats and your body will turn heads at the beach.  Sounds simple yet most of us struggle with sensible nutrition advice and find ourselves enjo...

Ep 243 How to Better Lead Yourself ft. Annie Yatch

August 17, 2022 10:00 - 48 minutes - 33.5 MB

  Where there is no vision, the people perish. —Proverbs 29:18  Whether we realize it or not, we are all leaders. Some of us may be in a position of leading hundreds if not thousands of other people while others just a handful.   But to be truly good as a leader you must first get great at leading one person, yourself.  Leadership begins with the person you see in the mirror every single day and the decisions made and actions taken by that person. Decisions and actions taking us closer t...

Ep 242 Finding Purpose on a Bike that goes Nowhere ft. Crystal O'Keefe

August 10, 2022 10:00 - 50 minutes - 34.5 MB

  Ever feel trapped by the life you’re living?  Like you’re stuck in the hamster wheel of life?  Back in 2016 our guest on SBD, Crystal O’Keefe, found herself in corporate America with those same thoughts and feelings. Crystal was successful in her career but it was a grind and somewhere deep down she knew this wasn’t her purpose.   She was not fulfilled and it was at this point she tried something new and developed a brand-new passion, Peloton.  Eventually this newfound challenge transf...

Ep 239 Jesus is My Friend ft. Dave Powers

July 27, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 44.8 MB

When you think of God or Jesus, what first comes to mind? Creator of the Universe, Son of God, Lord and Savior, Holy Spirit… possibly Father and Son? These are all good things and certainly true however it’s not the only way He wants us to think of Him. How about friend? Having a healthy relationship with God is also about friendship and companionship. Experiencing each other as friends do every day. The feelings associated with friendship are powerful and very real for us… and they sh...

Ep 237 Running a Marathon ft. Dave Frazier

July 13, 2022 10:00 - 53 minutes - 37.1 MB

Most people will never run 26.2 miles. Only a very small percentage of the population are willing to push themselves to that extreme level of endurance.  Not only is that distance intimidating physically, the mental demand may be even more jaw dropping for any aspiring competitive athletes.  Today’s guest, Dave Frazier, is a longtime friend of SBD host, Jared Haley, and shares some sound advice when it comes to taking control of your health and training for the world’s most popular foot ...

Ep 236 FEAR NOT ft. Pastor Chris Stephens

July 06, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 47.6 MB

  God says over and over again.  Fear not!  Do not be afraid.  Be strong and courageous.  Trust me.    Why?  Fear doesn’t seem like the most serious of vices, it’s not one of the 7 deadly sins, nor is it the object of church discipline.  So why does God tell us to stop being afraid more often than he tells us anything else?    It’s not to spare us from emotional discomfort.  Rather it is because fear sabotages flourishing.  Fear keeps us from following God wholeheartedly.  As John Orberg...

Ep 235 Slow Down Time ft. Chris Wilson

June 29, 2022 10:00 - 38 minutes - 26.7 MB

Ep 234 The BIG Ugly (Discover your Enneagram Type) ft. Jared Haley

June 22, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 46.1 MB

Ep 233 The Grass is NOT Always Greener ft. Chris Wilson 

June 15, 2022 10:00 - 26 minutes - 18 MB

  From where we stand, things can "appear" to look better off in the distance.    The famous saying ‘the grass is always greener on the other side’ is often referred to by people pursuing interests other than the ones they’re currently involved with.   However, in reality it’s more like the other famous phrase that goes like this, ‘good from afar but far from good’.   Honestly, how well do we really know other people's stuff? Most people post their highlight reel life and not the day-to...

Ep 232 Would you do THIS for Someone you Love? ft. Matt 'Superman' Miller

June 01, 2022 10:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

What is passion? And are you living a passion filled life?  For our team here at Critical Bench we define passion this way… Passion is a deep love of who we are, what we do and who we serve.  It is one of our 7 core values that guides us, leads us and creates the foundation for our purpose at work and in the world.  Another important question to explore is, “Are you a slave to your work?”   In this episode on SBD, coach Chris Wilson passionately discusses these questions and more based...

Ep 229 Do Baby Baptisms Count? ft. Jared Haley

May 18, 2022 10:00 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MB

  Baptism does not bring salvation.   So then, why do believers in Jesus Christ as the Son of God get baptized?  The concept of baptism seems so simple, get dunked under water by a church pastor and recognize Jesus as your Lord and Savior. But there are so many differing beliefs about ‘why’ we should or should not be baptized and when that should occur.  Why do babies get baptized in many denominations of the Christian faith? And what are the three big reasons why adults should get bapti...

Ep 228 Never Defeated: It's About the Size of the Fight Inside ft. Jo and Matt Miller

May 11, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 48 MB

Certainly, you’ve seen or heard this famous Mark Twain quote before:  It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.  Our guest today on the Strong By Design podcast show exemplifies this statement as good as any human being I’ve ever known or read about.  Get knocked down 7 times, get up 8. This is the motto of powerlifter, strongman competitor, trainer, nutritionist, online coach, sports performance coach and Believe Big advisor Jo ‘ANIMAL’ Miller. Als...

Ep 227 Are YOU the Victim? ft. Chris Wilson

May 04, 2022 10:00 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MB

Overcoming the victim mindset begins with you and some accountability. If you see yourself as someone who does not have control over their own life, that everyone is responsible for your feelings, actions and results, then you are suffering from the victim mentality. Your actions can absolutely dictate what does or does not happen to you. In life it is necessary to get uncomfortable to change and to grow. Having the hard talks when you don't want to and the necessary confrontations in ...

Ep 226 How BAD Do You Want It? ft. Charlie Johnson

April 27, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 43 MB

How bad do you want to [fill in the blank]?  To lose weight perhaps, build muscle or just feel better in your own skin?  Listen, we are all busy people, and we all want to look and feel our best. But life is moving at 1,000 miles per hour every single day with limited time to get stuff done. We hardly have time enough to breathe and do anything good for ourselves.  So, the BIG question is this: What’s the difference between people who find the time to GSD while others get stuck and cont...

Ep 225 Finding Peace in a Chaotic World ft. Jared Haley

April 20, 2022 10:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MB

Above all other things, people ultimately want to find peace in this life.  Things often feel out of our control regardless of how much effort or thought we apply.  So, in this uncertain, fast pace grind we call life, where do we turn for peace, love and truth?  To technology? What about high-priced objects? How about other people experiencing the same frustrations and struggles as us?   Nothing fills that hole in our soul like being in relationship with our Creator. On today’s SBD p...

Ep 224 Discovering the STANDARD for Masculinity ft. Josh Khachadourian

April 13, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MB

  Most men today are struggling, grappling for their identity.   What or Who is “the standard” for being a real man? What does a good human being look like, a good husband and father… someone we all aspire to be?   In this life of imperfection, sin, poor choices and self-doubt, there is only one man that meets the needs of all men (all people) and His name is Jesus. He is the Standard.  He provides a plan and sets the standard that is relatively unknown to modern Christian men and really...

Ep 223 The ONE Thing Pros Do (that You Can too!) ft. Douglas Bertram

April 06, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MB

Often times what makes an athlete a superstar isn’t how high they jump, how fast they run or how hard they hit… it’s their ability to perform under pressure and how they take care of their body.  Sure, to be an elite athlete in peak condition requires years of hard work, a commitment to physical exertion, disciplined nutrition and relentless focus most people don’t possess but it also demands relaxation and rest.   Ever hear how professionals are able to block out the noise and just slow ...

March 30, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 41.9 MB

Have you ever been in a life-or-death situation? Our guest today on Strong By Design, Jo Miller, was in a terrible car accident and this is her story.   "I just kept thinking 'Wow, it's amazing I'm alive'... They said if I had been an inch taller, the roo...

Ep 221 Don't Waste Your Most Precious Gift ft. Chris Wilson

March 23, 2022 10:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

Our most precious gift is not parked in our driveway, on our finger or hanging in our closet. And although we may be quick to list off our most cherished loved ones, closest friends and beautiful children, it’s not that either… The one thing money just cannot buy is time. Time is the one thing that is limited and none of us has more time than another in a given day but we can "create" more time by how we use it. This first ever solo podcast on the Strong By Design podcast show explores...

March 09, 2022 11:00 - 44 minutes - 30.6 MB

When you’re in a battle, you must fight it anyway you can to survive. Often our best discoveries in life come when we are faced with tremendous fear and adversity. Dr. Annette Bosworth did just that when her own mother was dying of cancer. It became her mission to find an alternative approach to chemo and radiation. She and her mother fought it with everything they had and 7 years later, Dr. Boz and her mom are still winning big against chronic health disease and cancer. This special 2-part ...

Ep 218 Protecting Young Eyes Online ft. Chris McKenna

March 02, 2022 11:46 - 57 minutes - 39.6 MB

A young person or child can’t “unsee” something they aren’t yet supposed to see… think about that for a moment. Going online for a child ‘should be’ a safe and monitored experience but unfortunately for many it is not… and parents often feel helpless. The digital world available to all of us today is certainly amazing and exciting but also so easily accessible for minors and highly explicit in many cases. Our guest today on Strong By Design has made it his mission to improve the safety...

February 23, 2022 11:00 - 55 minutes - 38.1 MB

Womb mates that came from the same egg. It doesn’t get any closer than identical twins.

Our guest today on Strong By Design is an identical twin who endured quite a bit with her other half. This conversation is both inspirational and uplifting...
