  • Why Spiritual Disciplines Matter More Than Spiritual Feelings
    Dec 15 2025

    In this ProActivators Micro Podcast, Gabriel walks Scott Newson through the Faith pillar—not as a belief system, but as a daily practice built through consistency, honesty, and accountability.

    Scott openly rates his faith as a “5 out of 10,” explaining why spiritual growth isn’t a fixed score, but a moving scale that deepens over time. What follows is a powerful conversation about daily devotion, prayer, journaling, accountability, and how some of the most painful struggles in life can become the birthplace of the strongest spiritual disciplines.

    Scott shares how his early, immature understanding of faith slowly matured into a disciplined, grounded walk with God. He explains the simple daily rules that have kept him spiritually anchored for over a decade—including a 3-minute minimum faith routine, daily Bible reading, gratitude journaling, and consistent accountability calls with other men.

    This episode also dives into vulnerability and healing, as Scott reflects on overcoming addiction, the role of men’s accountability groups, and why suppressing emotions leads to distraction, anxiety, and unhealthy coping habits. Instead, he points to journaling, prayer, and honest conversations as the path toward spiritual health and emotional clarity.

    If you’ve ever struggled with consistency, felt distant from God, or wondered why faith sometimes feels stagnant—this conversation will remind you that progress is built through daily obedience, not perfection.

  • I Am, I Can, I Will: A Life of Faith, Family & Impact
    Dec 8 2025

    In this deeply inspiring conversation, ProActivator host Gabriel Golindano sits down with former police chief, speaker, musician, and author Tim Eggebraaten — a man who transformed his life from law enforcement burnout into a calling of service, faith, and impact.

    For nearly 30 years, Tim served his community in Minnesota, eventually becoming Chief of Police. But the same career that gave him purpose was slowly draining his spirit, distancing him from joy, clarity, and the man he wanted to be. So he did something most people talk about but never do: he changed his path.

    Today, Tim travels the country spreading a message of hope, resilience, and proactive living through music, storytelling, and his signature philosophy:

    “I Am, I Can, I Will.”

    Together, Gabriel and Tim walk through the Six ProActivator Pillars — Faith, Family, Fitness, Finances, Focus, and Fulfillment — with raw honesty. Tim reveals how a silent retreat reignited his walk with God, how accountability made him a better father, how structure shaped his sons into men of character, and why fulfillment doesn’t come from success… but from service.

    Tim’s life is proof that discipline can be loving, accountability is empowering, and fulfillment flows from pouring out your life for others. This conversation will challenge you to stop drifting, stop waiting, and start activating your life — with faith, with intention, and with the courage to change.

    🔑 IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

    • Why real change starts with personal responsibility
    • How a silent men’s retreat changed Tim’s walk with God
    • What it means to raise kids with structure, love & accountability
    • Why fulfillment is rooted in giving more than consuming
    • How to build family unity that lasts generations
    • Why distraction kills purpose — and how to reclaim focus
    • Why you must write your own rules for your life
    • The real definition of a ProActivator

    💬 MEMORABLE QUOTES

    “I am, I can, I will.” — Tim Eggebraaten
    “If you don’t like your path, you can change your path.” — Tim
    “You’ve been given gifts — not to keep, but to share.” — Tim
    “ProActivators eliminate distractions to activate their lives.” — Gabriel

  • How Structure, Service & Stewardship Build a Powerful Life — with Luke Eggebraaten
    Nov 24 2025

    In this powerful episode of the ProActivators Podcast, Gabriel sits down with Luke Eggebraaten—entrepreneur, husband, giver, and a man committed to living a life of intentionality through the lens of faith, stewardship, and structure.

    Luke is the founder of Phaser Marketing, host of The Dirt Bags Podcast, and creator of the Digital Dirt World book. But beyond business success, his life is marked by disciplined habits, deep faith, and a relentless desire to serve others. From nearly 0 clients to working with nearly 100 companies worldwide, Luke has built both his life and business on the foundation of the Six ProActivator Pillars:

    In this episode, Gabriel walks Luke through each pillar—challenging him to self-assess, reflect, and share the real habits, systems, and convictions behind his growth. What unfolds is one of the most honest and inspiring conversations yet.

    Luke shares how he transformed from a “lukewarm Christian” to a spiritual leader in his marriage. He reveals his financial philosophy rooted in stewardship, debt freedom, generosity, and long-term thinking. He opens up about routines, monthly marriage meetings, vision days, and the practical systems he and his wife use to keep their relationship and goals thriving.

    Luke also discusses his major lifestyle rules: sobriety, removing fast food, eliminating soda, accountability training, delayed gratification, removing digital distractions, and building a life where purpose outweighs comfort.

    This episode is full of wisdom, practical strategies, and deeply authentic moments that show what it looks like to activate your life in every area and become the kind of person who serves, leads, and inspires.

    If you’re ready to strengthen your walk, sharpen your focus, elevate your habits, and grow into the person God called you to be — this conversation will light a fire in you.

  • Stop Drifting: ProActivator Rules to Stay on Track
    Nov 3 2025

    Hey, this is Gabriel, the ProActivator, welcoming you to the ProActivators Podcast! Today, I wrote this description for a solo episode on drifting—life's silent killer. We all drift, but ProActivators catch it with rules and reroute fast, progressing across faith, family, fitness, finances, focus, and fulfillment.

    Key Highlights:

    • Drifting repeats history—detect patterns with rules or people who tap your shoulder.
    • Airplane analogy: Constant rerouting needed; follow principles like streets/stop signs.
    • Personal Rules: Wake at 4 AM (read Bible/devotional), gym/CrossFit, prayer in car, listen to edifying voices (no music), family dinners/meetings Saturdays, church worship, budget talks, whole foods.
    • Results: Stronger faith, relationships, health, finances—replace distractions with growth.
    • Call to Action: Share with drifters, subscribe to newsletter/book "Unleash the ProActivator" (end of year).

    Join the news letter at proactivatorsclub.com/newsletter to connect! Share this—tag someone drifting. Let me know what rule you'll add!

    • Rule 8 - Finish What You Start: Commit to completing tasks, closing loops with intention, not convenience, to build trust and momentum.
    • Rule 9 - Move Your Body with Purpose: Use daily movement (walk, stretch) to shift state, boost clarity, and anchor your mind and energy.
    • Rule 10 - Finish Strong: End every day with focus and integrity, recovering from setbacks to close with pride, not drift.
    • ProActivator Mindset: Winning is a daily rhythm—10 rules anchor you to lead, not survive, through structure and repetition.
