Ep 387 - Golden Years Wisdom from an 85-Year-Old Sage
Attack Life Not Others
Discipline today creates freedom tomorrow. Tim shares a recent conversation with Bernie, a living example of vitality and wisdom, to explore the true meaning of the "golden years." Bernie talks about the four pillars of a fulfilling life — mental health, physical health, financial freedom, and meaningful connection. From daily prayer and stair climbing to lessons in hard work and shared happiness, Bernie reminds us that a rich life is built with intention. The golden years, Bernie teaches, aren't just for the elderly — they start whenever we commit to living well.

Ep 386 - Grow Wise, Not Old
Attack Life Not Others
Seneca’s quote, "No man was ever wise by chance," sets the tone for this episode as Tim and Steve explore how wisdom isn’t a byproduct of aging alone, but the result of intentional effort, experience, and learning. Aging alone does not guarantee wisdom; it is the experiences we gather and the lessons we learn from them that shape our understanding of life. Growing older comes with a unique opportunity to acquire wisdom, but this process is not automatic. It requires intentional effort — an active engagement with the world and the people around us.

Ep 383 - Bubbles of Life, Shake it Up
Attack Life Not Others
Avoid the corrosion of inaction: If we neglect our space, it can quickly become cluttered with negativity and stagnation — much like debris filling an empty room. The key is to keep moving and shaking things up! Whether it's going for a run, surrounding yourself with uplifting people, or simply trying something new, these actions can prevent your space from becoming unmovable and corroded. Remember, a flat soda loses its appeal, just like a stagnant life loses its vibrancy. Tim Hoover and Steve Mittman talk more about — taking care of your mental and emotional well-being.

“Summertime is always the best of what might be.” — Charles Bowden
info_outlineTim and Steve dive into what it really means to push through life’s tough moments — taking inspiration from the incredible life and legacy of boxing legend George Foreman.
We talk about resilience, personal growth, and that powerful idea of finding your "second wind" — that hidden reserve of strength you only discover when you’re tested. George’s journey from an intimidating knockout artist to a wise, enduring champion reminds us that real strength isn’t just physical — it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual too.
We also reflect on how easy it is to take things like our health, stability, and loved ones for granted. Life’s challenges — whether it’s illness, money troubles, or personal hardships — have a way of teaching us what really matters. And often, it’s in helping others that we find true purpose.
Plus, we celebrate Foreman not just for his boxing career, but for the humor, heart, and generosity he shared with the world. His story is a beautiful reminder that strength can be soft, and that giving back is one of the most powerful things we can do.
“In my first boxing career, I never ran more than three miles at a time during training. I didn't need much stamina, I always knocked opponents out in the early rounds. I knew it would be a different story the second time around.
My wife would drive me eight or ten miles, then drop me off so I could run home. I found out what athletes meant when they described getting their 'second wind.' I realized I had more willpower than I thought.
Once I got past the initial pain, I felt I could run forever, that’s how a lot of things are in life. You might be in a situation that's uncomfortable or even painful at first, but once you push past the pain, you find your second wind - and then nothing can stop you.” — George Foreman
