Delay the Decay with Dan Harty

"Most people relate in many ways more to our challenges and failures than just every success" This week on Delay The Decay, we interview Frank Kelly III—CEO of Kelly Benefits, former pro lacrosse player, and author of Love and Go! 12 Powerful Truths for a Blessed Life—about living an integrated life of faith, family, leadership, and purpose. Frank shares habits like journaling and a worship devotional, how sports and setbacks built perseverance and humility, and how his family’s faith shaped their 50-year family business and mission-driven culture. Frank talks about “Love and Go” as the Great Commandment and Great Commission, outlines several of the book’s core truths (God’s Word, praise, prayer, the Holy Spirit, purpose, giving, community, perseverance, and spiritual warfare), and discusses practices like surrender, confession, and being continually filled with the Spirit. We also discuss company initiatives supporting employee wellness and shares his legacy hope to be known for loving God, loving others, generosity, and blessing people.00:00 Meet Frank Kelly02:33 Journaling and Worship04:25 Sports Shaping Purpose06:27 Business Lessons and Losses09:01 Parenting the Two Games11:06 Real Stories and Humility15:33 Faith Over Religion18:02 Why Love and Go21:57 Twelve Truths Explained27:03 Called Home to Business32:13 Head Knowledge to Heart36:44 Confession and Fruit42:48 Circles and Community46:30 Workplace Spiritual Wellness50:00 Generosity Checks Ambition52:46 Forgiveness and the Enemy56:53 Eternal Perspective and Perseverance01:00:48 Closing ThoughtsThank you Frank Kelly III for being a guest on Delay the Decay!Find him on social media:- Frank on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankkellyiii- Frank on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FrankXKellyIII/- Frank's Website: https://www.frankkellyiii.com/- Find Frank's book: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Go-Powerful-Truths-Blessed/dp/B0GLTDK5ZXDelay the Decay is a podcast for unashamedly ambitious people who want to live healthier, lead better and love deeper by prioritizing what’s really important in life.- Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/delay-the-decay-with-dan-harty/id1839656855- Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/14SGNmzOWOzJOLjnev66TF?si=5b7d810ecc244c77- Find our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DelaytheDecayPodcast- Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delay_the_decay/- Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Delay-the-Decay/61577725301458/- Website: www.delaythedecay.com*** New episodes every Monday! ***Dan Harty is a coach, entrepreneur, and former pastor, who helps people build resilience in body, mind and spirit by emphasizing faith, fitness, and fighting the natural decay with daily habits rooted in biblical truths.

" Everything we do during the course of any given day is a risk because we don't know the outcome until it's been completed."This week on Delay the Decay, I interview risk expert and world-record skydiver Jim McCormick, founder of the Research Institute for Risk Intelligence and author of The Power of Risk, about intelligent risk-taking, leadership, and mortality. We discuss understanding one’s changing “risk quotient,” balancing teams with complementary risk profiles, and how commitments like family affect decisions. Jim shares lessons from skydiving—passion, preparation, delegation, redundancy (main and reserve chutes), and “no plan survives first contact”—including the year-plus planning behind a 400-person record jump. He advocates a “culture of permission” for innovation and recommends bolstering competence to take constructive risks.00:00 Meet Jim McCormick03:16 What Risk Really Means06:47 Know Your Risk Quotient08:48 Natural vs Adapted Risk10:32 Building Balanced Teams12:36 Founders and Commitments17:02 Excessive Caution Costs20:24 The Gift of Mortality25:08 Skydiving Lessons on Fear27:09 Why Some Compete30:09 Find Your Natural Gifts32:01 Inside the 400 Jump Record40:22 Leadership Lessons from Skydiving44:02 Reserve Chute Backup Plans48:36 Building a Risk Culture51:57 One Courageous Step This Week55:19 Keep Improving and Stay Persistent57:45 Direction Not Perfection FarewellThank you Jim McCormick for being a guest on Delay the Decay!

"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 Morales04:42 From RA to Leadership Calling06:48 Ministry and Mentorship Path11:24 Women in Leadership Pushback18:29 Create Value Get Noticed22:45 360 Feedback and Blind Spots25:47 Emotional Intelligence Explained31:05 Promotion Gap Leading People36:48 Jethro Delegation Model42:39 Succession Transition Challenges44:49 Planning Gradual Handoffs48:55 Peace Amid Tension51:16 Staying On After Exit55:07 Legacy and Next Vision57:09 Overwhelm Is a Choice01:02:06 Closing and Where to find EliseThank you Elise Boggs Morales for being a guest on Delay the Decay!

"I don't think you should buy a business if you're not gonna be active"This week on Delay The Decay, we welcome Brady Welton, owner of Tri City Cycle, former professional motorcycle road racer, and aviation enthusiast. Brady shares habits around faith and fitness, including morning scripture and CrossFit, and reflects on being raised in a Christian family with a disciplined father and supportive mother in Saratoga, Wyoming. Brady recounts starting motorcycles at age three, wrestling in school, racing professionally at 16, and later competing in the Baja 1000 in 2012 and 2014. He explains how racing taught him focus, resilience, and calculated risk, which carried into business. He emphasizes mentorship, team culture, supporting others, and advice to young people to build strong foundations, avoid drugs and alcohol, and trust God’s guidance.00:00 Meet Brady Welton04:20 Upbringing and Values08:45 First Motorcycle Memories10:17 From Wrestling to Racing13:11 Baja 1000 Adventures16:06 Calculated Risk Mindset20:29 Lessons for Business23:10 Buying Tri City at 2232:28 Hands On Ownership Mindset34:58 Tri City Cycle 2 0 Vision37:44 Making Family Business Work41:40 Helping Underdogs And Giving49:35 Health Goals And Bucket List53:05 Guidance For Young Adults55:10 Final Reflections Thank you Brady Welton for being a guest on Delay the Decay!

" 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 Zwiep01:34 A New Habit of Humility05:07 Bittersweet Parenting Season07:44 Trials That Shaped Her12:55 Comforting Others Through Loss16:07 Faith in the Darkest Moments19:35 Why She Started Spell Fitness22:59 Imposter Syndrome to Impact25:21 Fear of Losing Followers26:17 Pricing Without Guilt28:22 Imposter Syndrome and Calling31:19 The Ten Second Rule32:53 Sustainable Fitness Mindset37:18 Discipline Over Motivation40:21 Next Faithful Step42:00 Simple Nutrition Swaps43:38 Where to Find Jessica44:18 Final EncouragementThank you Jessica Zwiep for being a guest on Delay the Decay!Find her on social media:- Jessica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessz428/- SPELL Fitness Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spell_fitness/Delay the Decay is a podcast for unashamedly ambitious people who want to live longer, better and deeper by prioritizing what’s really important in life.- Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/delay-the-decay-with-dan-harty/id1839656855- Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/14SGNmzOWOzJOLjnev66TF?si=5b7d810ecc244c77- Find our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DelaytheDecayPodcast- Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delay_the_decay/- Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Delay-the-Decay/61577725301458/- Website: www.delaythedecay.com*** New episodes every Monday! ***Dan Harty is a coach, entrepreneur, and former pastor, who helps people build resilience in body, mind and spirit by emphasizing faith, fitness, and fighting the natural decay with daily habits rooted in biblical truths.

"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 Moore01:05 Marriage and Family First06:18 Getting Fired in 202210:01 Lessons After the Fall14:25 Faith and Leadership Roots18:37 Mentors and Truth Tellers21:57 Baseball as a Platform29:03 Modeling Culture and Forgiveness36:25 Joining the Royals in 200641:08 Mr Glass Legacy42:45 Winning and Criticism43:23 Critical Eye vs Spirit46:41 Coaching Career Origins49:30 Mentors and Leadership Path52:11 Family First Calling55:07 Faithful Steps and Imposter Syndrome59:00 Generosity and Foundations01:02:02 Unite KC Vision01:06:27 Rockies Hope and FarewellSign up for the 40 Day Fight: https://40dayfight.com/sign-up-optionsThank you Dayton Moore for being a guest on Delay the Decay!Find him on social media:- C You in the Major Leagues Website: https://cyouinthemajorleagues.org/ Delay the Decay is a podcast for unashamedly ambitious people who want to live longer, better and deeper by prioritizing what’s really important in life.- Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/delay-the-decay-with-dan-harty/id1839656855- Follow us on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/14SGNmzOWOzJOLjnev66TF?si=5b7d810ecc244c77- Find our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@DelaytheDecayPodcast- Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delay_the_decay/- Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Delay-the-Decay/61577725301458/- Website: www.delaythedecay.com*** New episodes every Monday! ***Dan Harty is a coach, entrepreneur, and former pastor, who helps people build resilience in body, mind and spirit by emphasizing faith, fitness, and fighting the natural decay with daily habits rooted in biblical truths.

"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 Mohn04:00 Benefits And Longevity Doc07:48 Why She Loves Healing Work10:26 Recovery Story Begins11:38 Life Before Sobriety17:19 Rock Bottom Wake Up Call20:01 Church Family And Sobriety21:42 Letting Go Of Shame25:20 Using Pain To Help Others31:54 Sober to CrossFit38:49 Discipline and Consistency44:13 Scaling and RX Mindset47:30 Competitive Weightlifting53:38 Life After Kids55:34 Next Step Encouragement01:01:43 Direction Not Perfection01:02:45 Where to Follow KristinaThank you Kristina Mohn for being a guest on Delay the Decay!
