Seek to Win A Friend, Not an Argument
Do you find yourself, when engaging in discussions about hot-button subjects, spending more time trying to win an argument than trying to build or maintain a relationship? If so, then this episode is for you.
This week, we discuss his latest blog at beyondthecrucible.com, in which he offers seven tips for not turning a discussion of issues into an us vs. them war of words. Among the insights he offers: donât judge the motives of people we disagree with, respect those who differ from your perspective, share the backstory behind your worldview and seek to find common ground.
âHaving positive engagement with those we disagree with is possible,â Warwick says. `âIsnât this more of what the world needs?

5 Years, 5 Big Learnings
Inspiring, uplifting and so much fun. That Warwickâs summary of the milestone we celebrate on this weekâs episode: the five-year anniversary â to the day, on the date this show drops â of the Beyond the Crucible podcast.
Our look back focuses on five key learnings from these past five years that have come from interviews and discussions on the show. Those insights â your worst day is your worst day, your crucible can be a gift, you can't get beyond your crucible without forgiveness, it's never too late to pursue a fresh life of significance, and knowledge is power â have become critical parts of our knowledge base for helping you move from trials to triumphs.
And youâll also want to pay special attention at the end, when Warwick and Gary pick one episode each from among the 234 that have come before this one that we believe captures the essence of what Beyond the Crucible is all about.

Emotionally Paralyzed By Her Dad's Paralysis
Charis Santillie was plagued by undealt-with emotions after her father was paralyzed in a hot-air balloon crash when she was just 19 years old. The accidentâs aftermath left her a workaholic, allowing her to live the illusion of safety and control.
It was only after meeting a coach who asked her why she was suffering from emotional paralysis that Santillie emerged from her self-imposed shackles to help others emerge from theirs. As a certified Fearless Living coach, she now specializes in guiding successful entrepreneurial men to become the Chief Emotional Officersâą of their lives as they face personal and professional transitions.
The insights she offers her clients, she says, have helped her continue her own healing journey.

Horatio Nelson: Naval Hero, Leadership Icon
Confident. Calm. Decisive. A man of sound judgement. Thatâs Lord Horatio Nelson, one of the most celebrated military leaders in British history. He was a hero of Warwickâs growing up, whoâs become an example of someone with the personal character and interpersonal skills that can benefit all of us as we navigate our journey to lives of significance.
This week, in the eighth installment of our series within the show -- STORIES FROM THE BOOK CRUCIBLE LEADERSHIP -- we discuss what made Nelson a brilliant and beloved leader and the lessons we all can learn from him about motivating and mobilizing teams to achieve a critical goal.
We also unpack the details of the two defining battles in Nelsonâs naval career: The Battle of the Nile and the Battle of Trafalgar. The first one made Nelson a national hero. The second made him an icon for the ages.
âLiving your values, living your beliefs, is absolutely key to living a life of significance,â Warwick says. "And thatâs what Nelson did.â

How to Avoid a Professional Identity Crisis
Remembering youâre more than your worst day and less than your best day is just one of the nuggets of wisdom we discuss this week in our examination of Warwickâs latest blog at beyondthecrucible.com about the truths that will help you avoid a professional identity crisis.
Among the points from his blog Warwick and I discuss are the need to do some serious self-examination and self-reflection; asking others for help if you feel like your identity is wrapped up in what you do, and making sure youâre tackling the soul work that will help you keep your identity in an emotionally healthy balance.
Along the way, we also discuss the inspiration for the blog, which came from two recent podcast guests ⊠and Warwickâs own struggles with his professional identity and how heâs moved beyond them.

Leaning Into Her Own Homelessness to Help Other Women Escape Theirs: Leanna Fairfax
Leanna Fairfax, a distant relative of Warwick's, talks about her rough early years â homeless at 15 and off-and-off again through the years after that, in an abusive relationship, plagued by the gnawing feeling that she would always live her life on the margins. But thatâs just the start of Leanna Fairfaxâs journey.
Leanna traced her ancestry to John Fairfax, Warwick's great-great grandfather, the founder of the family media empire Warwick lost in a failed takeover bid that led to his life's greatest crucible. She tracked Warwick down on LinkedIn â discovering that the details of his crucible and John Fairfax's life of perseverance helped her make sense of how she was able to persevere through her setbacks and trials.
What has her perseverance looked like? Going to college after dropping out of high school, earning top marks while getting her bachelorâs and masterâs degrees, and now pursuing her PhD studying women going through the same crucibles she did.
Her focus is on researching homeless women living in temporary accommodations, which will not only help improve their lives but has also helped her learn things she didnât know or feel when she herself was homeless.

His Dreams of Being a Doctor Dashed, He Found a New Calling Running a Physiotherapy Business: Jason T. Smith
Jason T Smith thought he'd missed out on his calling to be a medical missionary, until he realized he'd been gifted a new one. Smith's vision for being a doctor helping heal those in underserved nations came crashing down when he didn't qualify to study medicine. So instead, he pursued physiotherapy, first as a backup plan, but then with a passion for not only restoring health, but for reimagining the field.
He became founder and CEO of Australia's largest physiotherapy network, the Back in Motion Health Group. He never wanted a business, he says, yet ended up as a franchisor, with more than 140 of them supported by a team of more than 700 employees.
But that isn't the final chapter of his life of significance. He sold the businesses for $100 million to focus full time on pursuits like his Iceberg Leadership Institute, where he's mentored more than 1000, others just like him.

From a Tin Shed to the United Nations: Stephanie Woollard
Not a handout but a hand up. Thatâs what our guest this week, Stephanie Woollard, just described about how she responded when did when, during a visit to Nepal, she encountered seven women living in a tiny tin shed. They were suffering from physical handicaps and from being marginalized by their society because of those challenges. And her efforts empowered them to change their own lives and to help others do the same.
Through the charity she founded, which she named 7 Women, Woollard has bettered the lives of thousands of women in Nepal. While equipping them with the power overcome their crucibles, she leaned into her strength and discovered the faith to help her overcome her own setbacks and challenges along the way â which included debilitating burnout.
âIâve always had the desire to make a difference,â she tells Warwick. And sheâs done that â as the title of her book says â from a tin shed to the United Nations.

Stories from the Book Crucible Leadership: Abraham Lincoln on the Character to Build a Team of Rivals
The best people possible. Thatâs who Abraham Lincoln drafted for his Cabinet during the most precipitous time in U.S. history. And most of them werenât the biggest fans of the countryâs 16th president.
This week, in the latest episode of our series within the show, STORIES FROM THE BOOK CRUCIBLE LEADERSHIP, we examine how Lincoln managed to achieve such momentous results by assembling a team of rivals.
Key to his success, Warwick explains, was Lincolnâs character and the humility that flowed from it, allowing him to surround himself with men who had what it took to help him win the civil war and end slavery ⊠even if they didnât much care for their boss when they started working for him.
In the end though, because of his lack of ego and his ability to forgive slights both big and small, Lincolnâs team came to view him, as one of them said, âas the best and wisest man he had ever known.â

Kind, compassionate words are life-giving to us when spoken by others after weâve been through a crucible. And theyâre also life-giving to us when we speak them to others .. a truth the main characters in the movie TOY STORY learn when their initial rivalry turns into an unlikely friendship.
This week, in the 9th and final episode of our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS, we discuss the dangers of comparing our life of significance to someone elseâs ⊠and unpack why great fellow travelers donât have to necessarily be those with whom we have a lot in common.
In the end, we discover, building each other and ourselves up rather than tearing each other and ourselves down is what allows us to say, to quote TOY STORYâS title song, "You've Got a Friend in Me."

Compassion and empathy. Two traits that help elevate Rocky Balboa out of his hardscrabble life as a small-time boxer who will need both his fists of stone and his heart of gold to escape the crucibles that have dogged him most of his life.
This week, in the eighth episode of our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS, we take a look at 1976âs Oscar-winning ROCKY, both written by and starring Sylvester Stallone. The movie is a simple yet monumental achievement that explores the power a mindset shift and the support of fellow travelers can have on turning a life of aimlessness into a life of significance.
Rocky Balboa always dreamed but never really thought heâd get his shot to change the spiraling trajectory of his life ⊠but then a chance to fight for boxingâs grandest title, and his romance with his best friendâs shy sister, gave him a vision he could believe in and the self-respect heâd never been able to muster.

Courage. Itâs indispensable to our pursuit of a life of significance in the wake, and especially in the midst, of a crucible. Thatâs one of the key truths we unpack in our discussion of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, the latest movie from the American Film Instituteâs Top 100 we discuss in our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCUBLE LESSONS.
The first movie in director Peter Jacksonâs trilogy of films based on JRR Tolkienâs epic novel has at its center the most unlikely of heroes: Frodo Baggins, a Hobbit â a race of beings known for pursuing leisure more than adventure.
But when dark forces threaten to overtake the fantasy world in which the movie is set, itâs Frodo who is entrusted to carry the powerful ring of the title, not the heroic men, elves and dwarves who become his trusted fellow travelers â not to mention the wizard who becomes his mentor and guide.
And although he didnât seek, doesnât want and is in fact often terrified by the calling heâs inherited, Frodo finds the bravery and resolve to lead the charge to save civilization, discovering along the way that true heroes donât need to expertly wield swords, just humbly wield character.

Classic Films, Classic Crucible Lessons VI: To Kill a Mockingbird
One person doing the right thing. That sums up succinctly TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, the movie we discuss this week on the sixth episode of our summer series, CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS.
The person who keeps doing the right thing in this movie the American Film Institute ranked at number 25 on its Top 100 list is Atticus Finch. Heâs a kind, compassionate lawyer and honest, dedicated father who refuses to bend to the racial prejudices of his time and place â 1930s Alabama. In defending his client, a wrongly accused black man, he models for his children, Jem and Scout, what character that doesnât see color looks like.
As one of his neighbors tells the children at the tragic conclusion of the trial, âSome men in this world are born to do our unpleasant jobs for us ... your father is one of them.â
That would have been an agonizing crucible for many men of the era, but for Atticus Finch it was a role he fulfilled with honor and humility that can teach us a lot about weathering our own crucible experiences.

Helping other people and having a higher purpose. That's a spot-on definition of what a life of significance is all about ... and also what ITâS A WONDERFUL LIFE -- the movie we discuss on this weekâs episode of our summer series -- is all about.
The movieâs become an iconic Christmas tale because, as we discuss here, it shows that when we live our lives guided by our character and values, rather than simply by the things we want, or at least think we want, we find the kind of joy and purpose self-interest can never give us.
Thatâs the lesson of George Baileyâs life ⊠the kind of life thatâs within our grasp when we place the needs of others ahead the desires of ourselves.

This week, we focus our summer-series discussion on the Oscar-winning SCHINDLER'S LIST, No. 8 on the American Film Institute's Top 100 Movies. Specifically, we focus on Oskar Schindlerâs journey from an amoral man focused on profiting from World War II and his fellow Nazisâ barbaric treatment of Jews ⊠to a savior of those victimized people.
How does he end up there? His compassion and his character grow after witnessing atrocities that take his focus off making a fortune for himself to spending that fortune to buy the freedom â and the very lives â of endangered Jews.
He expresses his hopes early in the film that he people would say of his business acumen after the war started âHe did something extraordinaryâ by amassing âall the riches in the world.â
That is indeed what is still said today about Oskar Schindler ⊠but in a far different, far more significant way than he was capable of imagining when he said it.

SINGIN' IN THE RAIN is one of the most beloved movie musicals of all time, its title song a fabulous exhortation to face crucibles with a happy refrain and a smile on our face.
This week, in part three of our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS, we talk in entertaining depth about the lessons the movie â number 5 on the American Film Institute's list of the top 100 U.S. films â can teach us about the importance of living life with authenticity and navigating our journey from trials to triumphs with a team of fellow travelers who pick us up when we're down and help us define and embrace our unique life of significance.
What the hero of the story, Don Lockwood, sings in the film in the midst of a downpour is a perspective we all would be wise to adopt when life's storms come: What a glorious feeling. I'm happy again.

In this week's episode, the second in our summer series CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS, we discuss THE GODFATHER, number 2 on the American Film Institute's Top 100 list. It's a cautionary tale that spotlights how critical it is we live a life guided by beliefs and values rooted in something nobler than our own self-Interests.
We zero in on Michael Corleone, the youngest son of the mafia family depicted in the film. His father, Vito, the godfather of the title, had plans for him to live a life in the legitimate world as a senator or governor, but they were upended by the violent realities of the mob life and Michael's own ambivalence about the family's business.
The tragedy of THE GODFATHER is that Michael had the temperament and skills to have led a great life of significance, but he never seizes the opportunity to live that life.

This week we kick off our special nine-week summer series, CLASSIC FILMS, CLASSIC CRUCIBLE LESSONS.
We begin our examination of the lessons we can learn from movies on the American Film Instituteâs list of the top 100 U.S. films of all time by discussing CITZEN KANE â No. 1 on AFIâs list.
Unlike most of the conversations we have on the podcast (and unlike most weâll have on this series), our look at Charles Foster Kane, the title character of this classic, is not an examination of the trials he faced and how he triumphed over them â but how his inability and refusal to grow from the setbacks and failures of his life doomed him to allowing his worst days to define him.
But that doesnât mean there isnât plenty we can learn from CITIZEN KANE. The movie is a masterclass in why character and serving others rather than selfishly thinking only of ourselves is the only way to lead a life of joy and fulfilment â what we call a life of significance.
In exploring how Charles Foster Kane failed to leave behind a legacy to be proud of â we can discover how to do just that.

Our guest this week, Kim Cantin, discusses a tragedy of the deepest sorrow: the 2018 flash floods in Montecito, California, that obliterated her home and took her husband and son from her. Yet the rain and the mud and the devastation could not take her hope. Cantin was herself injured seriously and her daughter, Lauren, trapped for six hours under the debris. While the body of her husband, Dave, was found quickly in the mudslideâs aftermath, the remains of her son, Jack, would not be discovered until three years later, after an exhaustive search. In her conversation with Warwick, she explains how she had to muster the tenacity and perseverance to rediscover hope. Sheâs also documented that journey in her book, WHERE THE YELLOW FLOWERS BLOOM. Its title refers to the yellow flowers that grew in a place that they shouldnât near her sonâs remains ⊠and how their presence helped her see the beauty where there should be none. Indeed, as she says here, love found a way. To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.com. Enjoy the show?
