    #85 Turn Fear into Opportunity: Using Self Awareness and the Courage Muscle with Dan Greenwald
    Jul 15 2025

    Not everyone stutters on their words, but everyone stutters on something: fear, shame, doubt. Today, we explore what it means to face those inner barriers and move forward anyway.

    In this episode, Uri sits down with longtime friend and collaborator Dan Greenwald, a strategist, educator, and founder of ThirtyTenZero, a clarity-first framework for navigating growth and reinvention. Dan’s journey began with a childhood stutter, but evolved into a lifelong exploration of what it means to grow through discomfort and live with intention.

    This conversation is about far more than speech. It’s about overcoming fear through self-awareness, building a life from the inside out, and developing the inner tools to keep growing when life gets hard.

    Dan shares the story behind his transformative personal operating system and how each one helps people transcend personal limitations and take action from a place of purpose.

    Whether you’re navigating self-doubt, burnout, or a new season of change, this episode offers practical and empowering tools for personal growth and a reminder that you’re stronger than you think.

    In this episode on turning fear into opportunity, you’ll discover:

    • The life-shaping moment that sparked Dan’s path to self-awareness
    • How to grow your courage muscle and take action through fear
    • Tools to help you identify limiting beliefs
    • Why overcoming fear through self-awareness leads to lasting change
    • How Dan developed the ThirtyTenZero system for aligned living
    • The role of active resting in mental and emotional resilience
    • New tools for personal growth that work in real life, not just in theory
    • A fresh lens on transcending personal limitations, whether it’s stuttering, self-doubt, or another X

  • #84 The Science and Soul of Speech Communication with Dr. Phil Schneider

    #84 The Science and Soul of Speech Communication with Dr. Phil Schneider
    May 22 2025
    What does it mean to keep showing up when life changes your body, your voice, your sense of self? Dr. Phil Schneider has spent a lifetime helping people find their voice. But when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he found himself on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, learning how to live with a tremor, navigate shame, and reclaim agency in a body that no longer behaved the way it used to. In this episode, Uri sits down with his father, mentor, master clinician, and co-founder of Schneider Speech, for one of the most personal and moving conversations on the podcast to date. Together, they explore Phil’s decades of work helping people find their voice, and how his understanding of communication deepened through his own health journey. What helped him move forward wasn’t hiding. It was naming the tremor, talking about it with family, and choosing connection over shame. Opening up was the moment he began reclaiming agency. Resilience didn’t come from isolation. It came from letting people in. This episode is full of warmth, story, and hard-earned wisdom on voice, vulnerability, and what it really means to be present with another human being. In this episode on connection and resilience, you’ll discover: How a nonverbal girl found her voice on stage and transformed Phil’s careerWhat Parkinson’s taught Phil about stuttering, shame, and self-acceptanceWhy communication is about connection, not correctionHow being seen is more healing than being “fixed”The hidden cost of hiding, and the freedom of naming what’s hardHow moments of presence can shape the course of a lifeAnd more invaluable insights TIMESTAMPS 01:10 Meet Dr. Phil Schneider: A Legacy in Communication 03:03 How His Career in Speech Therapy Began 08:54 Learning from a Student: A First Encounter with Stuttering 13:38 The Power of Belief: How Gladys Found Her Voice 17:09 Connecting Through Communication 26:22 Teaching, Mentorship, and Shaping Future Therapists 29:29 Why Emotions Matter in the Therapy Room 30:39 Transformative Voice Therapy 34:35 Shame, Parkinson’s, and the Cost of Hiding 36:54 Openness, Vulnerability, and Reclaiming Agency 48:29 The Heart of Therapy: Growth Through Honest Connection 53:57 What Parents and Young Adults Need to Hear 57:06 Final Thoughts and Reflections ABOUT THE GUEST Phil Schneider, Ed.D.

It didn't require any other people.” - Dr. Phil Schneider “ Challenge can be an invitation to growth, and it can lead to intimacy, to being really open with people.” - Dr. Phil Schneider “ So long as there's life and there's breath, there's possibility.” - Dr. Phil Schneider “ Parenting is scary because it'll always feel like it's your fault” - Dr. Phil Schneider ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of ...

  • #83 Keep Showing Up With Purpose During Hard Times With Rabbi Jonathan Cohen

    #83 Keep Showing Up With Purpose During Hard Times With Rabbi Jonathan Cohen
    Apr 24 2025

    The hardest chapters of your life often become the clearest mirror of your values.

    When Rabbi Jonathan Cohen woke up one Shabbat (Saturday) morning unable to move, he had no idea he was facing a life-altering medical emergency. What followed - emergency brain surgery, a cancer diagnosis, and a whirlwind of hospital visits - could have broken his spirit. Instead, it clarified his purpose.

    In this raw and deeply human conversation, Jonathan - affectionately known as "JoCo" - shares how he continues to show up with purpose during hard times, for his family, his community, and himself, even in the midst of fear, fatigue, and the unknown. With humor, wisdom, and an unmistakable warmth, he invites us to rethink what it means to live meaningfully when life turns upside down.

    This isn’t just a story about illness. It’s a story about resilience, presence, and the power of showing up with purpose, even when everything else falls away.

    In this conversation about showing up with purpose during hard times, you’ll hear:

    • The Shabbat (Saturday) morning that changed everything for Jonathan
    • How he stayed grounded in his values through a health crisis and what helps him through the hard times
    • What it meant for him to suddenly be a patient
    • What makes a visit meaningful when someone is seriously ill
    • Caring for others and visiting communities affected by October 7, even as he confronts his own health challenges
    • Jonathan’s reflections on vulnerability, community, and setting boundaries
    • And many more insights
