episode The Joy Formula for Living Light artwork

The Joy Formula for Living Light

The world feels heavy right now. Anxiety is loud, joy is scarce, and most of us are carrying burdens we were never meant to hold. But what if living lightly — with deep, contagious, bone-level joy — isn't as far away as it feels? In this episode, host Jay Meyer records from the peaceful setting of Serenity Acres outside Covington, Ohio, and delivers his five-pillar Joy Formula: Pray a lot. Move a lot. Laugh a lot. Rest enough. Eat protein. Five habits. No fluff. Radical results. Drawing from his own walk through recovery, faith, family life, and playing competitive sports, Jay blends science, Scripture, and soul into something you can actually use. You'll discover why prayer builds a posture of trust that no productivity hack can touch, why movement is literal medicine for your brain, why laughter is a hard-won spiritual discipline, why rest is obedience — not laziness, and why protein belongs right alongside prayer at the top of your daily routine. Joy isn't something that happens to you. It's something you build — brick by brick, habit by habit, choice by choice. And you have everything you need to start today.

episode Building a Culture That Wins at Work and at Home artwork

Building a Culture That Wins at Work and at Home

What if the same principles that build a thriving organization could also transform your home? In this episode of Higher Leading, we take a deep dive into what it truly means to build a great culture—at work and around your kitchen table. Culture doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built on purpose. It starts with knowing your True North—the guiding beliefs that shape decisions, behaviors, and priorities. From there, it’s about clearly naming your core values and, more importantly, bringing them to life. One of the most powerful ways to do that? Catch people in the act of living those values and celebrate it. As Peter Drucker famously said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” You can have the best plans in the world, but if your culture is off, execution will always fall short. The truth is simple: your people create your culture, and your culture ultimately becomes your brand. In this episode, we explore how intentional leadership shapes environments where trust, accountability, and energy thrive. Whether you're leading a team or leading your family, culture is your greatest differentiator. It determines how people feel, how they perform, and how they grow. If you want your organization to stand out—and your home to be a place people love to be—this conversation will challenge and equip you to lead at a higher level. Because in the end, culture isn’t just something you talk about… it’s something you live every single day.

episode When Fear Knocks, Let Faith Answer artwork

When Fear Knocks, Let Faith Answer

In this episode of the Higher Leading Podcast, host Jay Meyer delivers a powerful Chalk Talk on one of the most persistent obstacles in life and leadership: fear. Drawing from his 2026 Lenten writing series on EagleLaunch, Jay explores the many ways fear quietly shapes our decisions—fear of losing control, financial insecurity, the unknown, change, rejection, aging, and the future. Through personal stories, leadership insights, and biblical wisdom, he unpacks how fear often disguises itself as caution or responsibility while quietly holding us back from the life God calls us to live. Recorded at Serenity Acres near Covington, Ohio, this episode blends reflection, Faith, and practical guidance for confronting fear in everyday life. Jay shares lessons from recovery, career transitions, family challenges, and decades of leadership experience to show how courage is not found in dramatic moments, but in daily acts of Faith and obedience. If fear has been holding you back—from purpose, leadership, or peace—this conversation will help you begin loosening its grip, one day at a time. Topics Covered * Fear of losing control and the power of surrender * Financial insecurity and trusting God as Provider * Navigating the unknown with Faith and action * The courage required for change * Identity beyond titles and positions * Aging with purpose and finishing strong * Trusting God with an uncertain future This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and strengthen the daily habits of Faith that gradually replace fear with courage. Fear may knock, but when it's answered with Faith, it loses its power.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
