#226 Make Them Count
Over the weekend, I lost a man who was my brother for twenty years. Grief is real. You don’t skip it. You don’t pretend it didn’t happen. But the way you move is not by erasing them. You look at the good. You look at the impact. That impact is their living testament. They’re not gone while the...
-
#225 Busy is a LIE!
You’re not too busy. You chose this. “Busy” is what people say when they don’t want to admit they already decided what the week was for. Work. Kids. The phone. Everybody else’s emergency. And the person, the body, the friendship, or the thing they say matters didn’t make the list. Some seasons...
-
#224 Jesus Was A Bully!
The Jesus a lot of churches talk about would not survive his own Bible. He flipped tables. He called religious men whitewashed tombs and a brood of vipers. He told Peter, “Get behind me, Satan.” He said he did not come to bring peace, but a sword. He told the Pharisees, they were offended, and…

#223: You Don't Like It, You Just Hate It Less
You don’t like most of what you’re doing. You just hate it less than the alternatives. Jobs that aren’t bad enough to quit. Lives that are “fine.” Choices made on what’s practical, safe, and least painful — until you can’t even name what you want. Revelation 3 says lukewarm gets spit out. Matthew...
-
#222 The REAL Ones
The friend who always agrees with you isn't your greatest asset — they're your biggest liability. In this episode, Travis breaks down the difference between people who make you feel good and people who actually make you better. Real friendship requires honesty, even when it's uncomfortable, and...
-
#221 Nobody's A Victim!
Adult bullying is real — but so is your responsibility to do something about it. In this episode, Travis flips the script on victimhood and gets straight to the point: you were given a spirit of power, not fear, and it's time to act like it. The Three Moves framework gives you a clear, drama-free...
-
#220 Nobody Asked
Everyone has an opinion. Not everyone has wisdom. In this episode, Travis breaks down why the need to be heard, agreed with, and validated is quietly keeping you small — and what it actually costs you. With two sharp scripture tie-ins and a no-excuses self-audit, this one will make you rethink…

BONUS EP: If It Triggers You, That’s Your Work
Earth is triggering. For everyone. All the time. A spike does not automatically mean the other person is evil. It means something in you got touched that you have not finished working on. Real harm is real. This is not about that. This is about the move where a feeling becomes a verdict and a...
-
#219 Do It ANYWAY!
Most people aren’t stuck because they don’t know what to do—they’re stuck because they’re waiting to feel like doing it. They wait on motivation, confidence, the right mood, less stress, more energy… and life never clears the runway. In this episode, Travis dismantles the excuse stack and…
more -
#218 Safe Isn't Strong
A friend sent Travis an article arguing that the kids of the 1960s and 70s accidentally became more emotionally durable—not through “better parenting,” but through more unsupervised problem-solving, boredom, and manageable risk. Add in the 80s kids and the Oregon Trail micro-generation, and the...
-
#217 Buy-in Starts With Participation
Every organization wants buy-in—but buy-in doesn’t start with agreement. It starts with participation. And participation is a choice. Leaders can clarify the mission, set standards, coach, and create accountability… but they can’t force a grown adult to care. In this episode, Travis breaks down…
more -
#216 Smart. Not Wise.
You’re smart. You can explain everything. You can spot patterns, diagnose problems, and talk your way through almost anything. And yet… you’re still stuck. That’s not confusion. That’s the gap between being smart and being wise. In this episode, Travis breaks down why smart people are often the...
-
#215 If You Want to Perform Under Pressure, You Must Train Under Pressure
Everybody wants to perform under pressure—calm, clear, decisive, steady. But most people train in comfort and hope they’ll magically rise when it counts. That’s not how it works. You don’t rise to the moment—you default to your training. In this episode, Travis breaks down why pressure isn’t the...
-
#214 A Heart Like David (Not the Soft Version)
People pray “Lord, give me a heart like David,” but most of the time they mean a soft, sanitized version—calm, obedient, worshipful. David had those moments, but that’s not the whole story. David was intense, strategic, prepared, and coachable. He executed with courage—and when he failed, he…
more -
#213 Liquid Courage Is A Lie
“Liquid courage” is one of the cleanest lies people tell themselves. You didn’t become brave because you added alcohol. You became numb. You became less self-aware. And if you add something and it becomes a requirement for results, it’s not a boost — it’s a new dependency. In this episode, Travis...
-
#212 A Conversation With Joe Van Haecke
In this episode Travis sits down with one of his all time favorite humans, Joe Van Haecke! Joe is a coach and world class educator who is showing academia how it's done by not only inculcating coaching skills into how he teaches, BUT also improv! If that wasn't enough, Joe is also hands down one…

#211 Your Midlife Crisis Starts Now!
Most “midlife crises” are built on fake math. You don’t know how long you’ll live, so you can’t calculate the middle. What people call a crisis is usually something else: waking up and realizing you’ve been managing your life instead of leading it. In this episode, Travis breaks down why urgency...
-
#210 Results Don’t Care About Your Ego
Some teams get incredible results. They change fast, sustain it, and raise the standard long after the workshop is over. Other teams leave the same way they came in — or worse — not because the strategies don’t work, but because they refuse to change. The difference is never the information. The...
-
#209 Stop Trying to Make Everyone THINK You’re Good and Just BE Good
A lot of people are obsessed with being perceived as good—good leaders, good spouses, good friends, good business owners—while their real life tells a different story. They know the buzzwords. They can perform in front of the right audience. They can post the quotes, talk the “high performer”...
-
#208 A Conversation with Lorianna Steele
In this episode of Not Sorry, host Travis Crutcher sits down with Lorianna Steele, a Certified Wellness Practitioner with over 20 years of experience in the wellness industry. Lorianna is the founder of LS Wellness Solutions, a Master Certified Health Education Specialist, and holds a Master of...
-
#207 Stop Trying to Change People’s Minds Online
Online, everybody thinks they’re the smartest person in the room. Comment sections aren’t built for connection or persuasion — they’re built for performance. People aren’t listening to understand, they’re waiting to respond, prove they’re informed, and win points in front of an audience. And the...
-
#206 Anger in Leadership (It Doesn’t Work, It Doesn’t Serve You)
Anger feels powerful, but in leadership it usually isn’t strength — it’s leakage. It might get short-term compliance, but it kills trust, shuts down honesty, and trains people to either hide mistakes or manage your mood. And this doesn’t just show up at work. It shows up in marriages, parenting,...
-
#205 Digital Cowardice: The Death of Confrontation
Screens have made people socially soft. Instead of handling temporary awkwardness face-to-face, people hide behind texting, ghosting, and passive-aggressive silence — then carry resentment like it’s normal. Avoiding conflict doesn’t keep the peace. It just delays the truth and breeds bitterness.…
more -
#204 Why Your ‘Mental Health Days’ Are Sabotaging Your Resilience
A lot of people aren’t protecting their mental health — they’re protecting their comfort. They use wellness buzzwords to excuse avoidance, dodge responsibility, and escape friction… then wonder why they feel more fragile every year. Real rest restores you so you can return stronger. Avoidance...
-
#203 Peer Accountability (Call Them Up, Not Out)
Most teams, friendships, and relationships don’t have a standards problem — they have a peer accountability problem. People stay quiet because they’re afraid of hurting feelings, being labeled a jerk, or creating workplace drama. So they avoid the conversation, vent privately, build resentment…
more -
#202 You’re Not In Control (And That’s Why You’re Exhausted)
Most people are stressed out of their mind because they’re trying to control everything—other people, outcomes, timing, conditions, and every possible variable in the equation. The problem is simple: you’re not in control of much. And pretending you are is costing you your peace, wrecking your...
-
#201 Your “Trauma” Is Bigger in Your Head Than It Is in Real Life (Stop Ruminating)
Everybody’s been through something. And yeah—some of it was real, unfair, and painful. But for a lot of people, the reason they’re miserable today isn’t because the past is still happening…it’s because they keep replaying it like it is. In Episode 201, Travis calls out the modern addiction to...
-
#200 Leading Through Fear (Quit Being a Coward)
Everybody is a leader. If you influence another human being—at work, at home, in your marriage, with your kids, in a classroom, in a friend group—you’re leading. The question is: what’s driving your leadership… purpose or fear? In this episode, Travis breaks down how fear shows up in two common...
-
#199 Long Obedience in the Same Direction
Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do—they fail because they won’t do it long enough for it to matter. In this episode, Travis breaks down long obedience in the same direction as the real way to achieve anything: business and career goals, fitness goals, and...
-
#198 A Conversation with Eric Recker
In this episode, Travis sits down with Dr. Eric Recker—a dentist, author, speaker, coach, pilot, mountain climber, and all-around high achiever who’s on a mission to help people #WINtheNOW. Their conversation goes deep on what it really means to show up authentically, build a life rooted in faith...
-
#197 EVERYTHING IS YOUR FAULT (And That’s Why You’re Still Miserable)
You’re not unhappy because life is unfair—you’re unhappy because you keep living like you don’t have a choice. In this episode, Travis lays out a hard truth that creates real freedom: everything is your fault in the sense that your life is your responsibility. Don’t like your job? Quit. Don’t…
more -
#196 IF IT STARTS WITH A NEED… BE CAREFUL CALLING IT A FRIENDSHIP
If a relationship starts with a NEED, be careful calling it a friendship. In this episode, Travis breaks down the difference between real friendship and “need-ship”—when someone isn’t building connection, they’re building access. Using a personal story about a former friend who took time,...
-
#195 CHANGE HURTS (Good. That Means It’s Working.)
Change hurts. Not because you’re doing it wrong—because you’re doing it for real. In this episode, Travis breaks down why positive change is painful, why most people quit the moment it starts working, and why your brain will fight to drag you back to what’s familiar (even when familiar is killing...
-
#194 Not Mad at You — I’m Mad at the Behavior (Don’t Take It Personally)
Taking everything personally will wreck your career, your relationships, and your ability to grow. In this episode, Travis breaks down the emotional intelligence it takes to separate critique of your behavior from what someone thinks about YOU. You’ll learn why feedback can feel like an attack...
-
#193 WHAT IF YOU JUST DID IT? (Stop Thinking. Start Moving.)
What if you just did it? In this episode, Travis calls out the most expensive habit on the planet: waiting. “Research” that’s really avoidance. “Planning” that’s really fear. The tired excuse of “no time.” If you’ve been sitting on an idea, a goal, a conversation, or a move you know you need to...
-

-
#190 NO ONE GIVES A F*CK ABOUT YOUR OPINION (And That’s Healthy)
Everyone’s got an opinion—but that doesn’t mean anyone has to care. In this episode, Travis breaks down why we’re living in a world where people expect their every thought to matter, and why that’s a problem. From social media echo chambers to the shock of real-world indifference, this show digs...
-
#189 YOU’RE NOT YOUR OLD HIGHLIGHTS (What Are You Doing NOW?)
It’s easy to get stuck living off your old wins—whether it’s trophies from years ago, a big business turnaround, or that one grand gesture in your relationship. But here’s the truth: you’re not your highlight reel. You’re defined by what you’re doing right now. In this episode, Travis calls out…

-
#182 (BONUS EP) QUIT OR COMMIT (But Stop Pretending)

-

People love saying, “It’s not that easy.” You’re right—it’s not easy. But it is simple. Most people don’t fail because they don’t know what to do. They fail because they quit the second it gets uncomfortable. In this episode, Travis breaks down the difference between simple and easy, why “hard”…
