A Playbook for Life: Insights from Dayton Moore

Creating Value and Overcoming Obstacles with Leadership Coach Elise Boggs Morales

"Instead of fighting about male, female, all of this, just show up with so much value that people forget about it." This week on Delay The Decay, leadership consultant and executive coach Elise Boggs Morales shares her journey, facing gender-based limitations in ministry, choosing to create value and build trust, and ultimately stepping into significant leadership and teaching opportunities. She explains key leadership gaps when high performers become managers, emphasizing team success, clear vision, delegation, and relational influence beyond titles. We talk about tools like leadership 360s, definitions and importance of emotional intelligence for safety and influence, principles for succession planning and transitions, and her mindset that “overwhelm is a choice,” enabled by intentional design, delegation, and support. 00:00 Meet Elise Boggs Morales 04:42 From RA to Leadership Calling 06:48 Ministry and Mentorship Path 11:24 Women in Leadership Pushback 18:29 Create Value Get Noticed 22:45 360 Feedback and Blind Spots 25:47 Emotional Intelligence Explained 31:05 Promotion Gap Leading People 36:48 Jethro Delegation Model 42:39 Succession Transition Challenges 44:49 Planning Gradual Handoffs 48:55 Peace Amid Tension 51:16 Staying On After Exit 55:07 Legacy and Next Vision 57:09 Overwhelm Is a Choice 01:02:06 Closing and Where to find Elise Thank you Elise Boggs Morales for being a guest on Delay the Decay!

Unlocking Sustainable Wellness: Jessica Zwiep's Faith-Based Fitness Pathway

" Don't let comfort and motivation be the things that drive you, because you will never be able to stick to something if you're waiting to feel like it." In this episode, we welcome Jessica Zwiep, founder of Spell Fitness, a faith-based coaching community helping women build sustainable habits around fitness, nutrition, prayer, accountability, and wellness. She is an LPN, ACE-certified trainer with nutrition certifications, married 19 years with four children. Jessica shares a current discipline of confronting pride, comparison, and confidence struggles through honest self-reflection, confession, and repentance, especially as her oldest prepares to graduate. She recounts major trials—stillbirth at nearly 28 weeks, her husband’s emergency heart surgeries, a company collapse, and a serious car accident—and explains how God “wastes nothing,” using her experiences to uniquely comfort others facing loss. She also talks about starting Spell Fitness after studying for certification, overcoming fear and imposter syndrome, and building an affordable, grace-filled approach focused on direction over perfection, manageable steps, discipline over motivation, and practical habit changes. 00:00 Meet Jessica Zwiep 01:34 A New Habit of Humility 05:07 Bittersweet Parenting Season 07:44 Trials That Shaped Her 12:55 Comforting Others Through Loss 16:07 Faith in the Darkest Moments 19:35 Why She Started Spell Fitness 22:59 Imposter Syndrome to Impact 25:21 Fear of Losing Followers 26:17 Pricing Without Guilt 28:22 Imposter Syndrome and Calling 31:19 The Ten Second Rule 32:53 Sustainable Fitness Mindset 37:18 Discipline Over Motivation 40:21 Next Faithful Step 42:00 Simple Nutrition Swaps 43:38 Where to Find Jessica 44:18 Final Encouragement Thank you Jessica Zwiep for being a guest on Delay the Decay!

A Playbook for Life: Insights from Dayton Moore

"Your habits will become your kids' addictions." This week on the Delay the Decay podcast, we interview MLB executive Dayton Moore—2015 World Series–winning architect of the Kansas City Royals and now a senior advisor with the Texas Rangers—about leadership, faith, family, and legacy. Dayton shares his focus on strengthening marriage and family, honoring his wife Mary Anne, and learning to be present after being fired by the Royals in September 2022, which exposed unhealthy identity and burnout tied to work. Dayton describes how studying great leaders led him to the Gospels and a deeper relationship with Jesus, emphasizing grace, daily forgiveness, and modeling character as a leader while avoiding a “critical spirit.” He also recounts his path from college coaching to the Braves and then the Royals in 2006, building culture in a small market, and discusses generosity through the Seeing the Major Leagues Foundation and Unite KC, a faith-centered coalition promoting unity, mentoring youth, and supporting community leaders. 00:00 Meet Dayton Moore 01:05 Marriage and Family First 06:18 Getting Fired in 2022 10:01 Lessons After the Fall 14:25 Faith and Leadership Roots 18:37 Mentors and Truth Tellers 21:57 Baseball as a Platform 29:03 Modeling Culture and Forgiveness 36:25 Joining the Royals in 2006 41:08 Mr Glass Legacy 42:45 Winning and Criticism 43:23 Critical Eye vs Spirit 46:41 Coaching Career Origins 49:30 Mentors and Leadership Path 52:11 Family First Calling 55:07 Faithful Steps and Imposter Syndrome 59:00 Generosity and Foundations 01:02:02 Unite KC Vision 01:06:27 Rockies Hope and Farewell Sign up for the 40 Day Fight: https://40dayfight.com/sign-up-options Thank you Dayton Moore for being a guest on Delay the Decay!

From Rock Bottom to Recovery: Kristina Mohn's Inspiring Journey

"It truly feels like I've had two separate lives: life before recovery and life now." In this new episode of Delay the Decay, we interview Kristina Mohn, a licensed massage therapist with Rise Up Wellness and Recovery, CrossFit Level 2 coach at CrossFit 970, and competitive Olympic weightlifter. Kristina recounts her alcoholism, confusion about purpose and faith, and a 2014 rock-bottom moment after leaving her young children home while drinking, leading to sobriety in 2016, and finding a welcoming church that helped her release shame and embrace redemption, motivating her to be vulnerable so others feel less alone. Kristina talks about how CrossFit became a stabilizing focus in early recovery, leading to coaching, weightlifting competition, and placing sixth at Masters Worlds. We discuss discipline as daily intentional consistency, scaling workouts for stimulus, and encouraging stuck people to take the next step with supportive community. 00:00 Meet Kristina Mohn 04:00 Benefits And Longevity Doc 07:48 Why She Loves Healing Work 10:26 Recovery Story Begins 11:38 Life Before Sobriety 17:19 Rock Bottom Wake Up Call 20:01 Church Family And Sobriety 21:42 Letting Go Of Shame 25:20 Using Pain To Help Others 31:54 Sober to CrossFit 38:49 Discipline and Consistency 44:13 Scaling and RX Mindset 47:30 Competitive Weightlifting 53:38 Life After Kids 55:34 Next Step Encouragement 01:01:43 Direction Not Perfection 01:02:45 Where to Follow Kristina Thank you Kristina Mohn for being a guest on Delay the Decay!
