Now What? – Welcoming 2026

In this discussion, Mike and Glenn explore the crucial question: “Now what?” as they look ahead to 2026. They delve into how living a life driven by passion and purpose is essential for true success.

Key takeaways from the conversation include:

  • The “Work” is the Key: The principle of “Drive,” which mirrors the active approach of the AA program, suggests that to elevate your life, you must actively do the work.
  • The Mantra of Success: Embrace the commitment: “If you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it,” recognizing that success requires unwavering dedication.
  • Action is Everything: The idea that “AA doesn’t work” is true only if you don’t work the program. Similarly, if you want a better life, you must live a better life.
  • Showing Up is Non-Negotiable: Glenn and Mike agree that simply showing up is a foundational part of “going to any length.”
  • Direction through Awareness: Self-awareness is key to understanding your proper direction and requires being open to new experiences.
  • Inspired by The Purpose Driven Life: Drawing inspiration from Rick Warren’s book, they advocate for incorporating spirituality and serving others into your plan.

Mike and Glenn emphasize that the time for passive wishing is over—it’s time to take action to achieve the life you want.

The guys discuss how the best way to determine a man’s wealth is by the direction of his zeros, when 5 stars and a shart guarantee crispy southwest egg rolls, and why you can never pack too much animal genitalia for transcontinental flights.

How to Love Your Body

My relationship with my body has never been a straight line… maybe you can relate.

In this episode of Taking Flight with Megan Holly, we dive deep into body image healing, self-love, body neutrality, and reconnecting with yourself in a world that constantly tells us we’re not enough.

Whether you’re struggling with confidence, navigating body changes, or trying to break free from old stories you picked up in childhood, this episode helps you rewrite the narrative and build a more loving, compassionate relationship with your body.

🌿 In this episode, we explore:

  • Why loving your body is a dance, not a straight line
  • How childhood comments, cultural messages, and societal standards shape body image
  • Why self-worth and appearance must be separated
  • How to stop treating your body like a “project” and start seeing it as a teammate
  • How to shift from punishment-based movement to joyful, intuitive movement
  • How to identify the beliefs you absorbed from others—and release them
  • Why perfection is a myth and how to embrace being beautifully human
  • How to build trust with your body in each season
  • Rituals that support body love: mirror talk, intentional getting ready, embodied affirmations, gratitude routines

💬 Journaling Prompts:

  • What messages about my body did I internalize growing up?
  • Which of those stories actually belong to other people?
  • How can I separate my worth from my appearance today?
  • What kind of movement feels joyful—not punishing—to me?
  • What is one thing my body did for me today that I can thank it for?

🌟 Body-Love Ritual Ideas:

  • Mirror Talk + Music: Pair affirmations with a song that makes you feel powerful.
  • Intentional Getting Ready: Choose clothes, earrings, or scents that make you feel good, not look a certain way.
  • End-of-Day Gratitude: Thank your body for what it carried you through today—big or small.
  • Joyful Movement: Dance, stretch, walk… not to “fix” your body, but to feel good inside it.

❤️ A gentle reminder:

Your body is not a before-and-after project.
 It’s your home, your ally, your teammate.
 You are worthy in all seasons, shapes, and stages.

If this episode speaks to you, share it with someone who needs a reminder that they are enough.
 Comment below with one thing you love—or are learning to love—about your body today. 💛
