Today, I sit down with Dr. Mark Teague, author of A Working Man’s Guide: Strong Values, Strong Life, to discuss the importance of traditional values in the modern world.
Dr. Teague shares his journey from growing up in a farming and ranching family to earning a doctorate in agricultural economics and navigating a successful career in banking, finance, and corporate leadership. He emphasizes the critical role of discipline, hard work, and responsibility in shaping strong individuals, families, and communities.

We then explore how traditional work ethics are increasingly stigmatized and how society’s growing reliance on technology, including AI, risks undermining essential human skills and values. Dr. Teague highlights the necessity of balancing modern advancements with timeless principles, ensuring that hard work, teamwork, and resilience remain central to personal and professional success.

They also discuss the evolution of the workforce, from agrarian economies to industrial and service-based systems, emphasizing the need for adaptability without compromising foundational values. We also touch on the importance of family, teamwork, and social interactions in developing well-rounded, disciplined individuals prepared for success in any field.

Together, we discuss how addiction extends far beyond substances, affecting behaviors, emotions, and even thought patterns.

Send us a text Today, I sit down with bestselling author Rhonda Parker Taylor to discuss writing, resilience, and the power of creativity. Rhonda shares her personal journey from struggling with reading and writing as a child to becoming a successful author, emphasizing the importance of mentorship and overcoming self-doubt. Together, we dive deep into her novel Crossroads , a suspense thriller set in Indianapolis, exploring the themes of justice, personal transformation, and the difficult choices we face at life's crossroads.

Send us a text Today, we dive into addiction recovery with guest Massimo Rigotti, who shares his journey to sobriety and the development of his SOBER Method . Mr. Rigotti after struggling with traditional recovery programs, found that true confidence and self-improvement were essential to maintaining sobriety. This led him to create the SOBER Method , a structured approach that stands for Stoic, Observe, Behavior, Execute, and Restore, focusing on continuous self-improvement and personal growth. We emphasize the importance of confidence in recovery, explaining how many individuals struggle with identity after addiction. Mr. Rigotti challenges the traditional AA model, which encourages individuals to constantly reaffirm their status as an addict. Instead, he argues for a mindset shift—embracing personal growth and looking toward the future rather than dwelling on the past. He also discusses how addiction recovery should not become one’s entire identity and highlights the need to build a life beyond just staying sober. The conversation touches on the idea of replacing destructive habits with healthier ones, with a cautionary note on how extreme fitness or other pursuits can sometimes become new addictions. Rigotti also shares insights on the influence of external opinions, urging individuals to focus on their own self-worth rather than letting others define them. The discussion rounds out with practical advice for families and loved ones of those in recovery, reinforcing the importance of support and accountability. https://www.massimorigotti.com/ _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text Today, we're covering bullying, both online and in-person, and its devastating impact on mental health, including passive-aggressive conflicts. Covering this topic with me is Justine Rodes, host of the Mentally A Badass podcast. Together, we delve into personal experiences with bullying, self-worth struggles, and the long-term psychological effects of childhood torment. To do so, Justine opens up about her own history of being bullied, how it shaped her self-perception, and how those experiences led her to become a mental health advocate and content creator. The discussion highlights the power of words and how bullying engrains negative self-beliefs that can persist well into adulthood. Justine shares how bullying at school and emotional neglect at home deeply affected her mental health, leading to self-harm and suicidal ideation. She explains how therapy, self-awareness, and advocacy helped her rewire her thinking and reclaim her confidence. The conversation also explores the complex relationship between trauma and identity, emphasizing that healing is a journey rather than a destination. Additionally, Justine also discusses her transition from aspiring therapist to social media advocate, using platforms like Instagram and podcasting to create a supportive mental health community. She also shares insights on toxic roommate experiences, cyberbullying, and the subtle but damaging effects of passive-aggressive behavior. https://linktr.ee/lifewithjustine _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text If I told you that you've been breathing wrong, you'd say that I'm crazy! After all, we've been breathing our whole lives. So, what if I told you that there was a better way to breathe? A way that fully optimized our biological medicine cabinet- our lungs. Enter, Tim Thomas. He kept getting told no because of his age- for fighting and for Australian Special Forces. Instead of accepting doors being closed, he told them that they couldn't do it at that age, but that he could. So, Mr. Thomas became an excellent fighter, because he just knew that moving his body was what seemed right. From there, due to a unique time in Australia, Mr. Thomas became the oldest person to ever join the Special Forces, where he excelled as one of very few individuals who made it through the program. Mr. Thomas shares with us a bit about that unique experience, but really, he dives into military and veteran mental health, discussing his own experience with P.T.S.D. and medication. Along with this, he shares his personal mission of veteran suicide prevention, and we discuss how suicide claims more military lives than actual combat, and the tragic reality of isolation, suffering, and purpose. Mr. Thomas goes into detail about pharmaceuticals before explaining about natural healing through optimized breathing, salt, hydration, sleeping and more. https://breathworkinbed.com.au/ _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text Today, we're sitting in a garden of sand, implementing the ancient practice of Zen, with the founder of Mountain Moon Coaching, Jean Selkirk. She's joining us to talk a bit about the benefits of Zen, along with the idea of change. We start the conversation off with Ms. Selkirk discussing her journey with the concept of change, from her childhood to coaching. We cover the idea of something being changeable, as well as how coaching can be required to help people overcome their fear of change or to help them realize that something is actually changeable. Along with this, we discuss the bloom of coaching and mentoring, especially online. Ms. Selkirk then discusses her journey with coaching, and how she got into it. With this, she gives advice for enacting change in your life, and we discuss the existence of negative thoughts and fears, and how they can truly hinder us. From there, we shift into the practice of Zen, discussing philosophy and meditation, as well as the role it can play in mental health, healing, and change. Ms. Selkirk shares with us the Zen practice of naming the student, explaining how she became Mountain Moon, which then became her business, Mountain Moon Coaching. We then discuss who she coaches, along with some advice and resources, concluding the episode. https://mountainmoon.org/ https://services.mountainmoon.org/home _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text With fifty episodes concluding season five, I've decided to make it where every fifty episodes will be a new season, and I'll be keeping that consistency. That being said, here's to season six- a long way from where the show first started. It blows my mind how far this show has come and how much it has grown, and I am truly thankful to God for where He has taken me and is taking me. I didn't go over that history, but I've linked some previous episodes that have. This episode is just gratitude, acknowledgment, and discussing the future of Couple O' Nukes as I get into the exciting year ahead for 2025, as well as beyond that. Thank you, to everyone who listens, guests on, shares, reviews, and supports the show. _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text Today, I am recording with a podcasting expert, Kevin Palmieri, who is co-founder of Next Level University and the host of Podcast Growth University. To start things off, Kevin shares his backstory. It begins with humble origins, with no father in the picture. Kevin then tells us about the many jobs he's worked over the years, focusing on the time period where he thought he was the most successful- a model girlfriend, a high paying job, and plenty of traveling. However, after working more and more for money, he realized that he was unhappy. He had lost his girlfriend, he was working long hours, always on the road, and life just wasn't made better by his paycheck. That's when his business partner, Alan Lazaros- whose been on Couple O' Nukes before- gave Kevin some life-changing advice. From there, Kevin and I get into podcasting, focusing on his current work as a podcast coach. After discussing podcasting, coaching, and Next Level University for a bit, Kevin and I get into the deeper conversation of meeting his father after 27 years of having never met him. Kevin unpacks several layers of emotions, and we discuss parenting in general. We then shift into life and business advice for the rest of the episode, including the many resources and opportunities that are a part of Next Level University. https://www.nextleveluniverse.com/ Be sure to check out the episode with Kevin's business partner, Alan Lazaros, in the episode Taking Your Life To The NEXT Level: ( https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/taking-your-life-to-the-next-level/id1657865479?i=1000677996269 ) _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text This episode was powerful- it almost brought me to tears. We've discussed suicide prevention and awareness before, and shared some stories about people who were suicidal, but this story today is a deep one. Kevin Skellett is the founder of Love Never Ends Ministry, which he created in response to the tragic loss of his son to suicide. He shares about how his son was an amazing man who helped a lot of people, and how he couldn't understand why this happened. Through this, Mr. Skellett shares with us the conversation he had with God after his son passed away, and it left me speechless. The conversation then pivots to Mr. Skellett sharing what he is doing nowadays with Love Never Ends Ministry to help support others during their grief, including resources, groups, prayers, and podcasting. https://www.loveneverendsministry.org/ _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text Today, I'm joined by Dr. Heidi Schreiber-Pan to discuss the benefits of time spent outside in nature. Specifically, we focus on the mental health aspect of it all. A lot of people report feeling better when outside or when spending a certain amount of time outside daily or weekly, but Dr. Heidi is here to back that up with some scientific studies as well. She starts by sharing about an experiment and study done on how different background noises (at various levels) affected people during their sleep. Dr. Heidi then takes us back to what inspired her quest for knowledge and understanding the power of nature. It all started with wondering how therapists deal with the emotional turmoil that comes from hearing their patient's worst stories and issues. With most of them answering that they use nature to help themselves, she questioned why they didn't suggest that for their patients. So, she wanted to find out more. Additionally, Dr. Heidi shares how she is implementing what she learned into her practice, including educating and hosting outdoor retreats for therapy and mental health help. https://www.cmhcweb.com/naturetherapy _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?

Send us a text Today's episode is a heavy one but with plenty of laughs along the way. Joining me from all the way in Ireland, Ronika Merl- activist, artists, screenwriter, and poet- sits down with me to discuss trauma and the lives we live. She, herself, has lived quite a few. The episode starts with Ronika sharing about her upbringing, where she lived two drastically different lives, both of them having there own issues. From there, we get into a discussion on the fear of loss, pivoting toward what we need to let go and what we need to keep. We assess the negative connotation with loss, and how changing our view on what we are letting go of, rather than losing it, can help make decisions easier or more positive. This leads into us discussing toxic relationships for a while. After that, we get into the relationships Ronika had, focusing on when she dated a biker gang member, which endangered her life and drastically changed it. She shares with us the change that took place in his life after she left him, and how people change, while also discussing forgiveness and empathy. This includes when she became a prostitute, which leads to our conversation on sexual intimacy and relationships. From that, we shift into parenting and parenthood- particularly how becoming a parent can change how we view our own childhood trauma and our parents. We end with Ronika finding solace in writing and activism. She shares how she helps people tell their stories, and the impact creativity had on escaping some of the worst parts of her life. Overall, this episode offers valuable insights into overcoming trauma, the importance of self-worth, and the journey towards a healthier, more authentic life. https://www.ronikamerl.com/ _______________________________________________________________________________ Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.com Instagram: @coupleonukes Website: https://couple-o-nukes-website.webnode.page/ Exodus Strong Custom Link: https://exodusstrong.com/?a_aid=ExodusCON Want to be a guest on Couple O' Nukes?
