I’ve spent a lot of my life wrestling with regret—times I wish I could undo, opportunities I let slip, relationships I mishandled. And I know I’m not alone. In this episode of Next Third Best Third, I sit down with my new best friend, Jonathan Suber, a pastor, father, husband, and leader of men, to unpack how to move from regret to real hope. Together, we talk about why hope is more than a feeling, why gratitude is not just an emotion, and how the steps you take today can shape the rest of your life.

Through personal stories of failure, heartbreak, and near-death experiences, I share how I’ve learned that mistakes aren’t fatal—they’re fuel for the future. We explore tangible, actionable ways to create hope, from daily gratitude practices to reconnecting with people in your life. If you’ve ever felt stuck in shame, depression, or regret, this conversation is designed to give you clarity, perspective, and practical steps forward.

I want every listener to understand one truth: your next third can be your best third. Even if you feel hopeless, there’s a path forward, and it starts with intentional steps today. Whether it’s writing a thank-you note, opening a door for someone, or reaching out to a friend, these small actions can spark transformation. Join us and learn how to take your regrets, your missteps, and your messes, and turn them into a message of hope for your life and others.
