    S5 Ep55: Team Seneca Navy: Embarking upon World's Toughest Row; Inspiring Others to Pursue Better Selves
    Aug 6 2025
    Not many people can say that they have ever rowed an ocean; in fact, more people (until very recently) can say that they have been to space than have rowed an ocean. For Team Seneca Navy, this task, known as the "World's Toughest Row," is the only obvious choice for the next step in their lives. This crew of four partially-crazy, fully-adventurous rowers will take off from the shores of the Canary Islands and row across the Atlantic Ocean, before landing in Antigua. By name, these rowers are David Ranney (Cleveland, OH, USA), Moritz Marchart (Stuttgart, Germany), Anthony Carella (Vaughan, ON, Canada), and Ryan Mulflur (Hingham, MA, USA).

    In episode 55 of the "Chats with Clark" Podcast, Team Seneca Navy joins the show just a few months before they take off to share what they anticipate, mourn over what they have yet to anticipate, and inspire all of us to pursue better versions of ourselves. In fact, that is the very mission of the nonprofit that the crew started to support their efforts. All of the funds raised throughout the process of the race will go to charities that share this profound mission.

    Tune in to hear the epitome of the phrase "trusting the process" and the ambition of four gentlemen who not only want to compete in the world's toughest race, but win it! Forever will the members of Team Seneca Navy be known for their courageous efforts in a highly unique endeavor that benefitted so many others and also infinitely will change their lives.

In Mike's words, those who want to get involved will do so, and ought to, because we all meet the people in our lives for a reason. Often, though, we do not know the reason until hindsight.

  • S5 Ep52: Uncovering Our Heroic Potential: Who Are Heroes? What Are the Qualities that Makes Someone Heroic?

    S5 Ep52: Uncovering Our Heroic Potential: Who Are Heroes? What Are the Qualities that Makes Someone Heroic?
    Mar 7 2025
    In episode 52, we uncover our heroic potential by considering a reflective set of questions that pertain directly to being a hero. Heroes are essential to our lives. We begin by asking ourselves, "Who is my hero?"

    What is it about this person or these people that makes them so heroic, and then, ultimately, how can I emulate the skills and traits that these people exhibit, so as to be heroic, myself?

    What we will find is that heroes never back down from the greatest of challenges, the challenges that seem so insurmountable that many would crumble. Heroes defy their fear, stare it in the face, and then proceed with courage.

    The world needs more heroes. Be a hero to someone else today!

    Jan 17 2025
    As we kickstart 2025, episode 51 welcomes Father Bob Kraig, a priest in the Cleveland Catholic Diocese for over 50 years and a profound role model for living a life full of purpose. During our conversation, Kraig shares vulnerable stories about his relationship with God and why we all ought to dive into one of our own. In essence, faith is the cornerstone for embracing the messiness of our lives, and the rooting of ourselves in gratitude allows us to see God in our daily lives.

    For anyone desiring peace, stability, the "rock" in our lives, grace, joy, abundance, considering the topics of episode 51 is worthwhile. Be warned, though: you will not be the same after diving into this episode.

  • S4 Ep50: The Power of a Question: How Questions are a Super Power for Deeper Lives

    S4 Ep50: The Power of a Question: How Questions are a Super Power for Deeper Lives
    Nov 30 2024
    As a society, we have shifted from a culture who asks questions to a people that "tells." Asking questions is a practice, something that we get better at doing the more that we do it. In essence, the more that we put to use the act of questioning, then the better our questions will be.

    This is important, because good questions lead to deeper knowledge, deeper understandings, and better lives.

    Take it from Einstein, who pleads with us to never stop questioning.
