Would you rather donate money to a good cause or risk your life for it? Today, you’ll meet a man who’s dedicated his life to doing both. In this episode of The Modern Man, I’m joined by Paul Hutchinson, an investor, philanthropist, business owner, Founder of Child Liberation Foundation and Liberating Humanity, and Executive Producer of the film “Sound of Freedom”.
Even after his countless successes in life, Paul believes his greatest success has been failing twice in marriage and finally figuring it out on his third try. I would argue his greatest success has been going undercover with the CIA and risking his life over 70 times to save thousands of children from child trafficking operations across 15 countries.
Surely, we can all learn one thing from failure: Failure has the power to propel you forward if you let it.
Remember guys, he who has a powerful, positive impact in the most lives wins. Paul says that’s what life is all about. Keep spreading your love and light in this world and good fortune will come your way, even if you experience failure.
“Almost all of us have had things happen to us that we haven’t talked about, you know, things when we were children, whatever else, and all of us have done things that we’re not proud of… but that’s okay. That doesn’t define you today.” – Paul Hutchinson
Key Takeaways / What You’ll Learn:
(00:56) About Paul Hutchinson.
(02:58) How to change your perception of failure so it can propel you forward.
(07:11) How business success and philanthropy fuel each other.
(14:09) The dark origin story of Child Liberation Foundation(Paul’s first rescue).
(23:16) How Paul changed after his first undercover child rescue operation.
(26:40) How to start giving back and making an impact on others.
(34:07) Identifying abuse, signs of human trafficking to be aware of, & the dangers of porn.
(38:11) Which rescue operation was the most impactful?
(45:09) What it’s like to train with the CIA and Navy Seals.

In this eye-opening episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Jacob Kauffman, a transformational men’s coach, spiritual mentor, sexual abuse survivor, and author of “Let Love In: The Pain Stops When the Truth Starts”. Join us as we highlight Jacob’s story about navigating life after sexual abuse and what led him to share his story and transform his pain into power. He details how men can overcome the trauma that’s preventing them from creating sustainable success in their lives and how he’s helping them do it.
Jacob talks candidly about how trauma from abuse impacts our ability to express our emotions in healthy ways, especially grief and anger, and the self-work and deconditioning that are necessary after experiencing abuse. Then, he shares why most men pass on their wounds and not their wisdom. This is a powerful episode, guys. Tune in!
“There are two great catalysts for transformation, and that’s great love or great suffering. For men, specifically, it seems that we are prone to great suffering. We need a smack upside the head to wake us up to who we’ve become and how that’s impacting us.” – Jacob Kauffman
What have you been doing with your pain? Remember, what we’re conscious of we’re in control of, but what we’re unconscious of is in control of us.

In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Zack Blakeney, a spiritual porn recovery coach who empowers men to quit porn for good, heal the shame associated with it, and rise to the highest version of themselves. Zack is here to shed light on his dark, yet profound experience recovering from a 16-year porn addiction, and what you can do if you’re in a similar place. He addresses the impact that society’s shame around sex has on men, then gives you actionable steps and advice on how to quit porn for good and move forward in life without shame.
You’ll hear Zack’s insights on how to leverage the energy of “doing” instead of “trying” to quit your unhealthy habit and why that’s a crucial distinction. Plus, you’ll learn ways to rebuild your personal relationships (and your relationship with yourself) after porn addiction.
Are you using porn in a way that doesn’t align with you? Do you feel shameful or secretive about your porn usage? Zack has the framework you need to break free from your usage/addiction and feel like your best self.
Remember, things that you would call miracles are an everyday occurrence when you do the inner work.
“The things that we’re proud of, we openly talk about. The things that we’re shameful about, we hide. The hard part about this is that when we’re hiding things, it’s not like it doesn’t exist; it empowers it to take more control over us.” – Zack Blakeney
“For men that are trying to push themselves to the next level of who they are… you can’t get there until you start to confront the things that are preventing you from being that.”
– Zack Blakeney

In this episode of The Modern Man, we’re joined by Alain Dumonceaux, a Purposeful Action (Men)tor, Host of The Revolutionary Man Podcast, and Founder of The Awakened Man movement. Alain shares incredible insights on becoming a man with purpose and what it means to grow through purposeful action.
As men, we often struggle to find that safe space where we can be vulnerable, share what’s on our minds and hearts, and free ourselves from shame and blame. That’s why Alain developed The Awakened Man and what drove him to start doing this powerful, introspective work.
Listen in to gain actionable advice on what to do if you feel lost in life, if you’re not sure how to fill up your cup, or if you want to get aligned with your values and lead a purposeful life each and every day.
Purposeful action is all about following the intentions you set for your day. Are you following your intentions? As Alain says, when you have purpose behind you, you have reason to be.
“There’s so many different ways of approaching how to do men’s work… and there’s so many of us out here, trying to do our piece to raise the level that we show up as husbands and fathers and leaders in our communities.” – Alain Dumonceaux

Keep this in mind: The resentment you feel is an indicator that you’re not living based on your values or working towards your potential. Resentment will always hold you back. So, let go of the resentment, let go of the resistance, and work through the discomfort of pursuing what you want in life.

In this episode of The Modern Man, I’m joined by Greg Scheinman, author and podcast host of The Midlife Male. Tune in as we have a rich discussion about how to maximize middle age, see midlife as something aspirational (instead of something to fear), and realize that our best years are ahead of us.

Greg highlights the power of producing more than you consume, building your own framework for success, and believing that the middle truly is the sweet spot. He then details how proving yourself can either be a trap or a path to transformation.
“Focus on the actions, not the outcome… because the outcome is the result of the series of actions that we take day in and day out.”
– Greg Scheinman

In this episode of The Modern Man, I speak with Chris Schroder, an entrepreneur, and author of “Headscape: How a Bald Guy Replanted His Hair and Restarted His Life”. Listen in as Chris shares his incredible story from being bald and insecure to confidently strutting a full head of hair - a journey that ultimately led to a life-saving cancer diagnosis.
Chris sheds light on the emotional (and even professional) impacts of baldness and why he decided to get hair transplants in his 60s, after 30 years of being bald. He openly describes what the hair transplant process is like, why he chose to go to Turkey for the procedure, and how it’s transformed his life in every way possible.
“I was self-conscious… but it was a bigger thing to me than to other people - but guys don’t want to talk about it. Joe Biden refused to take questions about it 20 years ago, Elon Musk won’t talk about it, Elton John didn’t talk about it years ago… It seems unmanly or it seems like a weakness that men want to overcome but they don’t want to address and they don’t want to talk about it.” – Chris Schroder
Remember, we can’t heal what we don’t reveal. Hiding your insecurities is never the answer. To be a modern man is to must address your feelings of insecurity and shame and do the work to overcome them.
“It’s kind of like after you work out for a few weeks… and you just kind of have this little buzz about you - that was the buzz I had when the hair was growing out. I was like, this is the me I’m meant to be, this is the me I was going to be, and this is the me I want to be.” – Chris Schrode**r

In this episode of The Modern Man, I speak with Steven Arms, a husband, father of two (with one on the way), and author of “Milestone to Manhood: A Christian Rite of Passage to Help Your 13-Year-Old Son Make the Leap from Boyhood to Manhood” which he co-wrote with his dad.

“Our modern Western society doesn’t really have an equivalent coming of age event and I think that’s one reason why we are failing to develop men who are truly, virtuously masculine… That’s why we see men extending their boyhood, extending their adolescence, into their 20s and 30s.” – Steven Arms

Your best days are ahead of you! 💯 Are you ready to take your life to the next level? In this video, I explore the five essential steps to ensure your best days are ahead of you and not behind you. I noticed a trend of reminiscing among my friends and text groups. While there is nothing wrong with that, I also think it’s important to make sure that doesn’t become the majority of our conversations. In order to make sure your best days stay ahead of you, we need to do 5 things. First, we start by establishing a clear vision for our future. Next, we look at how letting go of the past can help you move forward. (That baggage is getting heavy.) Then, we break down our vision into actionable steps and habits that we can implement on a daily basis. After that, it’s all about setting up accountability to keep us on track and motivated. Finally, It’s important that we keep moving the goalposts to continue challenging ourselves to reach new heights. After all, life is a journey, not a destination. Whether you’re looking to improve your self-development and mental health, or simply want to live your best life, this video will help you get started. Tune in now and start your journey toward a brighter future! 📈 "The Best Way To Predict The Future Is To Create It" - Abraham Lincon #LetsGrow #themodernmanpodcast #tedphaeton

“We can’t give up. I think the more we talk about it, the more we interrogate it, the more we speak out against bullying, against people who make fun of people who act differently, and the more that will change. But it’s up to all of us.” – Silvia Dutchevici
In this episode of The Modern Man, I welcome Silvia Dutchevici, a psychotherapist, author, and Founder and President of Critical Therapy Institute, a unique form of therapy that combines the personal with the political/societal.

Silvia shines a light on how privilege determines the level of power you have in the world and how you understand that power as well as how we can tap into that power to create positive change. We also discuss the true power of an apology, how to find a safe space to show vulnerability as a man, and the societal behaviors that are vital to changing the world for the better.
If we want to end racism, reverse poverty, and dismantle sexism, it’s up to the people who have more power and privilege to work against it. If we want women to have more power and men to show up differently, we need to learn how to share power and have collaborative relationships. If we want to change the system we’re in, we have to work collaboratively.

About Brian:
Brian's mission is to call men into the community for the purpose of replacing destructive behaviors with liberating ones. Through the medicine of brotherhood, Brian has witnessed men experience the expansiveness of a healed heart and fully awakened soul. His childhood was disrupted by a dysfunctional relationship with his father who struggled with addiction. It eventually started down a path of restoration and ended prematurely with his Dad's sudden death. Throughout his adult life, Brian has worked to fully embody his masculine nature that has been hurt by the early relationship with his Dad and other toxic forces. He does this by connecting deeply with his inner child through playing West African drums, dancing West Coast Swing, chanting and laughing at Community Ice Baths, and going for walks in the rain. Brian is honored to serve the world as a Men's Liberation Coach, Yoga and Primal Movement Teacher, and Breathwork Facilitator. He teaches men how to step into action by unlocking the 7 channels in their lives that will lead to their liberation.

About EJ:
EJ was born and raised in Charlotte. The first time he almost died was when he was 8-years-old. He played sports throughout his childhood and high school years. He will be the first to admit that he did not have the worst upbringing, or the best. After graduating from high school, he got a sharp taste of the real world. Once there, he made some decisions that led to habits that slowly deteriorated his body. He became addicted to promethazine, codeine, and Xanax. Then one day he was hit with the realization that his life had to change. He sat with himself in a dark room and ever since that moment his life has continued to change up to, and including, this very moment. EJ is honored to serve the world as a Yoga, Breathwork, and Meditation Teacher and Energy Healer.

“Life grows to the extent that you do.” – Ian Lobas
Join me in this episode of The Modern Man as I welcome Ian Lobas, a Personal Performance & Evolvement Coach and Founder of Men on Purpose, a movement created to elevate, educate, celebrate, and empower men to be on purpose. As a coaching pioneer, Ian is helping people to be more intentional and live more purposefully by helping them get awareness and clarity. His mantra is “illuminate and eliminate”. He helps clients get rid of their ways of thinking and doing that no longer serve them.
Ian had been chasing money for a long time, thinking it justified his value to the world, yet he was misaligned and in constant resistance the entire time. He wasn’t the most authentic person he could be. Once he learned how to own his evolution and correct his course, he started building a coaching business to support men in living an aligned, authentic, and fulfilling life.

“Without vision, people perish.” -Bronson Hill
Inflation can be our friend... if we know how to use it to our advantage.
One way to do that is through real estate. Real estate is one of the few investments that offer long-term value and can continue to appreciate over time without any extra effort on our part! In fact, it is one of the safest investments we can make because it has been historically proven stable.
This week, I have the opportunity to sit with Bronson Hill, the founder and CEO of Bronson Equity. Before stepping into entrepreneurship, Bronson worked as a consultant for a medical device company where he met physicians who earned millions in a year. Seeing how much time they were trading to earn their wealth, Bronson decided he was going to let money work for him and not the other way around. Eventually, he discovered the world of real estate where he was able to create the life he wants. Today, Bronson continues to help others live their dream life with less of the risk and more of the benefits.
Listen in as Bronson and I discuss how to get started into real estate successfully, why savings is not always a good idea, how much money do we need to invest, how to reduce our taxes, the unfair advantage of multifamily investing, and how we can use the time freedom that we have to continue growing, not only our wealth, but also ourselves.

"Your purpose amplifies your identity. It makes you more of who you are because you're working in your identity through your purpose.” -Steven Kuhn
Our title or position is not who we are— that's what we do. We all go through phases where we feel like we should act or speak a certain way to avoid offending someone. But living in a period when opinions matter more than authenticity and trends try to shape our identity is a specially crucial time to stay true to ourselves.
When we own our identity, we are empowered to do great things. We know who we are and what we stand for. We don't shy away from our quirks and flaws, rather, we embrace them because they make us unique. We become a force to be reckoned with and we don't need the approval of others to feel good about ourselves.
But showing up our true selves is never easy. If it is, then everybody will be doing it. So, how do we go about owning our identity?
This week, I got to sit down with business advisor, author, and speaker Steven Kuhn and his partner, Olga. Steven and Olga are both powerful individuals and together they’re making a difference by uplifting others to a higher frequency.
In this episode, we discuss how we can navigate the journey of finding ourselves and owning our identity. We also talked about projecting our presence, the connection between our identity and purpose, being powerful from within, handling difficult conversations, and the 5 models that can help us build a solid foundation from Steve’s book, Unleash Your Humble Alpha.

“In the pursuit of chasing something greater, there's more potential that we all have. It just takes going through some hard times to figure out what we're really made of.” -Daniel Blue
We can all relate to the feeling of being lost and not knowing where we're going. Some of us are better at navigating our way through these feelings than others, but it's always possible to find ourselves at crossroads in which we're unsure of who we are and what we stand for.
In this episode, I sit with Daniel Blue, the CEO of Quest Education. Daniel was just 12 when his father left. He couldn't understand why and his questions were left unanswered for years. It created a massive void in his heart that seemed like dark clouds covering his path. This lack of clarity led him to make painful choices. But when he became a father, Daniel moved from victimhood to gratitude. This sparked change and his life began to turn around.
Listen in as Daniel shares how he rose up from rock bottom to owning a 7-figure business. Daniel and I also discuss how we can increase our self-worth, how we should handle problems without going back to masking them, how a new environment can help in our transformation, and Daniel's advice for parents in raising responsible and well-founded children. And as a plus, Daniel also reveals the secret to making money penalty and tax-free.

"Balanced masculinity [is] where our definition of who we want to be comes from inside ourselves, when we have the ability to look at ourselves more objectively." -Jason Skeesick
If you were to be offered a very promising job, would you take it?
If you answered 'yes' then you're not doing what you were meant to be doing. Because if you were, nothing would be able to stop you from doing what you love.
In this episode, we will learn how we can find opportunities in the things that we love with US Army veteran, coach, entrepreneurial evangelist, and founder of Spear and Clover, Jason Skeesick.
Listen in as I interview Jason about what having core values mean and why they matter, how we can balance our view of masculinity, the three types of men we should be having in our circle, why we should learn to train others rather than doing things ourselves, how we can grow holistically, and how to make things that don't usually appeal to us exciting.

"Start changing how you think about things. Don't think like the average person." -Paul Halme
A good money mindset is the key to a successful financial life. It’s what separates the people who make money and those who just have it. If we have a good money mindset, we understand that our wealth is not found in our bank account but in our ability to generate income, manage expenses, and build assets.
This week, I got to sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, mentor, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World Champion, and bestselling author, Paul Halme.
Although being in the corporate world was an amazing experience for Paul, he still felt that something was missing. He wanted to do more— something different. So, he ventured to entrepreneurship and opened his own gym, which later became one of the most successful gyms in the US. Today, Paul is helping entrepreneurs grow their wealth while living a freedom lifestyle.
Listen in as Paul shares insights and wisdom to help us build a proper money mindset. Paul and I also discuss investment secrets to grow our wealth, what makes sales easier, how we can leverage our credit score, how automation can help us manage our assets, and why we should not forget to enjoy the journey while we're in it.

"Everybody has a unique way of being— You can't escape who you are. And so it's better to be the best you that you can be, rather than trying to be somebody else." -Steven Rudolph
Some people think that potential is something that you have, but haven't realized yet. But others believe that potential is something you can only reach when you achieve your goals. Like most things in life, there's a middle ground between these two points of view.
Steven Rudolph dreamed of being a rockstar. Sadly, following his dream didn’t help him pay the bills so he applied as a teacher. At that moment, Steven realized that he had a knack for teaching and that he had a bigger mission to fulfill. He founded Feed Your Tigers, which is his way of saying “live your potential”. Today, Steven continues to help others discover their true selves and live their purpose.
In this episode, Steven and I talk about how we can figure out our true potential and how to live it. We also discuss the difference between skills and talents, the truth about strengths and weaknesses, how we can balance our tigers so that it does not eat away at us nor overwhelm us, how we can overcome imposter syndrome, and why we should embrace and celebrate who we truly are.

"There's an opportunity if you have the right mentality." -Chaz Springer El
Success is a mindset. It's an internal attitude that influences our thoughts, actions, and emotions. People with a mind set up for success are positive and persistent. They have a strong work ethic and are willing to learn and profit from their mistakes. Most importantly, they are able to remain optimistic and believe in their dreams no matter how gigantic an obstacle may seem. It is therefore undeniable that having a positive mindset is essential to achieving any goal in life.
Chaz Springer El grew up in an environment filled with discrimination and violence. Realizing that this should not be the norm, Chaz rose up as the guy who would champion success and leave a legacy- a model for all those who can see him.
In this episode, Chaz relates the sad realities of living in the hood as he was growing up and how his experiences shaped him to become an agent of change. We also discuss how our search for a place to belong can take turns we do not expect, the two types of guys and what determines who will be successful, what can we do when others throw negativities at us, how we can find the gaps in every obstacles, how we can help create a sense of responsibility in the community, and how we can turn diversity into our power.

"Who we are is not our pain." -Greg Wieting
Trauma is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. However, living with trauma isn't really ideal, especially if it's causing us to act out in destructive ways or making us withdraw and isolate ourselves from the people closest to us.
Trauma can also manifest itself in physical ways. We might start experiencing headaches, body pain, or problems with our digestion. We might find it hard to fall asleep, or we might start having nightmares.
Many times, people who have experienced trauma don't even realize that they're suffering from it. They just think that they're having a really bad day, or that they're just overwhelmed with work. So how do we know if our pain is a symptom of trauma or not?
In this episode, I sit with Greg Weiting, the Founder of PRISMA. He developed the Prisma Method from his own healing journey. Today, Greg is helping leaders, students, and individuals heal their trauma from the roots.
Listen in as Greg and I discuss the imprints of trauma so we can easily identify it, how trauma manifests itself in leadership and our relationships, how our healthcare system is failing us with regards to healing the root causes of our pain, and how we can reorient ourselves and ultimately heal from our trauma.

"What you made a choice on does not determine where your life is going to go. It might have an impact on it but you can choose. -Dylan Sessler
We've all been prisoners to our own darkness at some point in our lives. Maybe it was abuse, maybe it was addiction, maybe it was trauma—whatever your worst nightmare might be, there's a way out! It doesn't matter how far back your darkest moments are—you can use them as an opportunity for growth.
If you're stuck in a rut, it's not just because you don't have enough energy or motivation—it's because you haven't figured out how to harness the power of your past experiences yet.
Join me as I sit with mental health coach, author, social media influencer, and veteran, Dylan Sessler. You may find relatable moments as Dylan and I talk about what living in darkness feels like and how we can defy the darkness so that we can live life the way it should be lived. We also discuss what empathy involves, how ego affects our ability to reason, how we can change our narrative, why we should start valuing ourselves, and how we can protect the sanctity of our relationships.

“Most people who find success are people like me who are too dumb to quit… You are your own champion. Nobody else is going to choose you to stand out front. You get to choose yourself and become that champion.” -Donnie Boivin
The first step in chasing our dream is knowing how much it's worth. (Read that again.)
One of the common traps we will encounter in our journey is the trap of going back to a “safe” space when life takes a sudden turn. But we want to remind ourselves that the most important thing about our dream isn't how great it is, but rather how much time and effort we put into it from day one. Our dream will increase in value only if we don't stop working towards it in the first place!
In this episode, I sit with Donnie Boivin, the CEO of the Success Champions family of companies. Donnie was successful at what he does— sales. He knows how to make a sale easy and he can talk about it with burning passion anytime. But when this one thing was taken away from him, not only was his dream crushed, but he also felt what most of us, men, feel— a mix of negative emotions when we know we let our loved ones down, and worse, we let ourselves down.
One evening, he was invited to dinner and his business partner told him something that changed his life forever. What was that conversation about? And how did he go from almost losing everything he had to owning a network of companies, being a top podcast host, and having 5 best-selling books?
Listen in as Donnie and I talk about how we can champion our own success, why we should not let the promises of a “secure job” depreciate the value of our dreams, how a true CEO thinks and acts, and how we can build a business so that we’re not creating “just another job” for ourselves but enjoying the freedom of being able to follow our dreams.

“There's a lot more than what we see and hear and taste and smell and feel. There's a lot more to life.” -Ali West
Life can change in a moment. A new job, a new relationship, the death of a loved one, or other circumstances can throw us off our game and send us reeling. When this happens, it's tempting to try and make sense of it by thinking about ourselves in terms of how we've always been defined by our past.
But this is not how we want our lives to be. We want them to be shaped by our own choices, by who we choose to be, and by what we choose to do.
Please join me again for an inspiring conversation with Ali West, the co-founder of Kinetik Fitness as we talk about how to navigate the constantly changing winds in our journey, how important communication skill is in anything that we do, what form of meditation works for our individual needs, how we can break the negative cycles in our life so as not to pass them to the next generation, and how to get all in on ourselves.

“These tactics work, but it's dangerous. No business is 100% guaranteed to work so you just want to make sure you've done your due diligence in your research.” -LaJuan Hughes
If you're like most business owners, you understand the importance of good credit. After all, your credit score can make or break your ability to get financing for your business.
But what you may not realize is that your personal credit can actually be a powerful tool in helping you get business credits fast. Of course, this isn't a decision to be made lightly.
In this episode, we will talk about how we can get business credit fast with financial expert and content creator, LaJuan Hughes. LaJuan grew up around successful businessmen and women, some even in his own family circle. Although he didn’t recognize it at first, the wisdom and strategies on how to run a business was engraved in his mind and heart. Today, LaJuan helps other aspiring business owners in any way he can.
Listen in as LaJuan and I talk about why using our personal money to fund our business is not a good idea, why credit and business always go together, how we can manipulate our personal credit to our advantage, how we can leverage our personal credit to get business credits fast, how we can get 0% APR, and how we can avoid failure in business.

“Don't do something that you can't see yourself doing for the rest of your life.” -Steve Lutsk
Finding time to exercise and get in shape is a real struggle for us, men. After all, there's always something else to do—whether it's changing diapers or making dinner, or running our business.
But here's what I know: if we're going to be healthy and fit for life, then we need to make time for ourselves. In fact, if we look closely, we have lots of opportunities to make small changes in our lives that will help us feel good about ourselves and get healthy in the process.
The problem is that we've been trained to think that a healthy lifestyle is something that only the most hardcore of people can achieve. But guess what? Being healthy isn't a competition between you and your body. It's not about how many squats you can do or how many miles you run every week. It's about making sure your body has the tools it needs to function at its best, in any situation, while still being fun and enjoyable. It doesn’t have to be so complicated!
We have to remember that our fitness journey is as important as the other aspects of our lives. Therefore, I am thrilled to interview LA personal trainer, Steve Lutsk in this week’s episode. Steve has gone from being a skinny-fat nerdy Jewish kid to a fitness pro. Seeing how much this is affecting his social life and self-esteem, he finally decided to make small changes. Steve has been helping his clients get rid of their dad bods and be in shape for 10 years now.
Listen in as Steve and I talk about how much time we really need to get fit and you’d be happy to hear that it’s not that much! We also discuss facts about intermittent fasting, fasted workouts, diet tips, the importance of tracking our progress, how the quality of our sleep affects our results, and the best way to start our fitness journey, and more!

“We know what we're capable of, therefore, we suppress it. It's capable of so much bad and it's capable of as much good in the world. And we're robbing the world of that good by completely dismissing it.” -Dylan Roos
Boys are often taught that being a man is about being tough, taking charge, and never showing weakness. This idea is so deeply embedded in our culture that it's hard to even imagine that it could be wrong.
But this view of masculinity can be extremely damaging to boys who are being raised by parents who believe that "tough" is the only thing that matters in life. It's time for us to challenge this idea and discover the path to real manhood. It’s time we transform into real men—men who are strong, but also kind and compassionate.
This week, I got to sit down with Masculinity Coach and Mentor, Dylan Roos. Dylan’s mission is to help young boys transition to manhood through The Prince to King Method. Once a troubled young man, Dylan understood what it felt like to lose a sense of direction and to drown in overwhelming emotions. But Dylan also learned that being a man takes courage to embrace the discomfort that growth brings.
Listen in as we discuss the biggest drivers to our perception of masculinity, how we can heal our wounds as men, how comfort makes us sick, how to deal with isolation and loneliness in men, and how being vulnerable brings more benefit than we can imagine.

“You are only responsible for your action or inaction. That’s half the equation. What’s the other half? All outcomes… belong to God.” -Joseph Warren
Anger and stress can be a massive drain on our personal lives and careers. They not only take a toll on mental health, but they can also impact our relationships— with other people and most importantly, with ourselves. Feelings of anger or frustration cause us to lash out at others unwittingly.
Moreover, male anger is often mislabeled as aggression or hostility. This makes it difficult for us, as men, to express our emotions or ask for help when we're having a hard time. Besides, it can also lead to poor performance at work because it makes it difficult to focus on what needs doing.
It's easy to get caught up in anger and lose track of what's important. That's where stress comes in. So instead of focusing on how angry or stressed out we feel right now, we can choose to focus on finding ways to deal with these feelings so they don't become overwhelming or damaging.
In this episode, I got to sit down with the #1 Podcast Host of Broken Catholic and Your FIRST $100K and spiritual coach at The Men’s Anger Coach™. Joseph started his business at 19 and was able to semi-retire for some time. However, the dark side of success had him covered in dark clouds. He was filled with anger and anxiety, his wealth was exhausted, and he almost lost his life on many occasions. Until… he found his greater purpose in life and his life began to turn around— both in his personal life and career.
Joseph and I discuss how to blow up these rocks that hinder our growth. We also talk about the real cause of anger and stress and the necessary steps we need to take in order to manage these emotions. These steps are not easy, but as Joseph says, are guaranteed effective. How do we know? Tune in to find out!

“Compassion is a place of understanding without judgment. And in compassion, we can create change.” -Jonathan McLernon
When it comes to weight loss, self-love, and holistic health, the connection between the three is more apparent than ever. Popular culture has made it clear that the first two are synonymous with the third, but the truth is much more complicated than that.
Many people follow diet trends and weight loss tips without taking the time to understand deeper why they do them in the first place. Their goal is to follow a standard taught to them by society. But that standard is often motivated by self-loathing and being unhappy with the person they are inside out.
Our guest this week, Nutrition and Fitness Coach, Jonathan McLernon explains that there’s a lot more to a healthy lifestyle than just what goes into our body. It’s not just about calories and macronutrient ratios— it’s about self-love.
Join us as we attach a deeper meaning to self-love and reframe what we already know about self-care. Coach Jon and I also talk about how healthy food choices may even be faster than fast food, how weight is not a problem but a symptom, why brain-driven weight loss is more effective, how health is affected by many other factors besides food, and how we can lose not only weight but our old, self-sabotaging self.

“In order to scale effectively, we have to be completely removed from the day-to-day operations in the business.” -Patrick Rogers
A scalable business is a company that is profitable but also has the potential to become even more profitable, without the owner being directly involved in its day-to-day processes.
Creating a business model like this can be tough. But there are ways to can create a scalable business that can be successfully exited—and it doesn't have to come at the expense of our integrity.
Exit Planning Advisor and serial entrepreneur Patrick Rogers joins me this week for a powerful conversation on business building. Patrick has mentored CEO’s and business leaders to achieve their goals and transform their organizations into successful entities positioned for a profitable exit.
In this episode, Patrick and I discuss the signs that a company has high growth potential, how to balance our life triangle (relationships, career, and self), the drivers that affect the value of a company, three processes that affect the scalability of a business, and critical attributes that every business owner should possess. Our goal as an entrepreneur should be to make our business as successful as possible— and that’s exactly the core of our discussion. Join in!

“Asking ‘why?’ is a valid question for a period, but it's not a place you want to live. You have to make a conscious decision not to live in that place.” -Phil Cohen
All of us have experienced loss- whether it's a person, a job, a relationship, or a property. And we know so well that there's no way to describe the intensity of the pain we have to go through.
During the grieving process, we see everything in black and the question of 'why?' only made it worse. We seek answers to make sense of what happened, but there's nothing. Eventually, we drown in grief and can't seem to get out .
Therefore, it's important to understand that grief isn’t something we can just get over with. It’s a natural, healthy response to loss. It may feel like we'll never be able to move on, but if we let ourselves get stuck in that place, our loss will only have more power over us.
It often takes a long time and a lot of effort to move forward— we just have to be patient. We remember, we grieve, we heal— but we don’t have to do all of those things at once.
The day Phil Cohen lost his son was also the day he almost lost himself. Every single day of the search and rescue operation was filled with anguish and also hope that his son, Perry, who was only 14 at that time, would be safe and alive. The darkest days eventually came when he was told that his son might never be found again. To a parent, this would be a death sentence. Years later, we see Phil still remembering every moment of that day- but no longer with a heavy heart, but as a man with passion and sincerity.
Listen in as Phil and I talk about where we can catch a gleamer of hope when we feel we can never recover from our pain, the unspoken truths about grief, the 3 R’s of healing (Reflect, Repair, React), how we can surpass the stage of acceptance and live our purpose, and a fine lesson about weathering the storms from cows and buffaloes.

“You need some help yourself and it's hard to switch to that mindset. But if you don't do that, you can't possibly be the type of person who's going to give your 100% effort to help other people.” -Scott DeLuzio
Asking for help doesn't make us weak. It makes us strong!
There's a lot to be said for how men can build each other up. But sometimes, some of us men just don't know how to ask for help. It's not that we're trying to be rude or ungrateful—it's just that we've been taught from a young age that it's not polite to ask for help, and so we don't do it. But what if being a man means giving ourselves permission to ask for help?
This week, I got to sit with Surviving Son author Scott DeLuzio to discuss why asking for help is something we should start practicing. Scott is an author, podcast host, and war veteran. He and his brother Steven were deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Sadly, Scott lost his brother in the war. Following his transition to civilian life, Scott found it hard to overcome his grief and trauma. He almost lost his way, until he decided to man up and do what most of us are afraid to do— ask for help.
Listen in as Scott and I talk about the biggest lesson we can learn about mental health, how we can give voice to the voiceless, why it’s necessary that we share our story to the world, and how we can overcome the fear of asking for help.

“It's our values that drive our decisions for our priorities.” -Tyler Foley
We're often talking about our priorities in life, but what about the things we value?—the things that make us happy, the things that make us feel fulfilled, and the things that bring us joy. How can we be sure we're making the right choices for ourselves?
The key is on how we set and solidify our values. The more we value something, the more likely it will be a priority for us, and the better we’re going to handle it.
In this episode, I was honored to sit across lifelong actor, speaker, trainer, and author of The Power to Speak Naked, Sean Tyler Foley. At an early age, Tyler discovered that there are two sounds in our world- the one we so seek and the one we want to run away from. This helped him to follow a certain path, but more importantly, to set values that would push him closer to the sound he wants to follow.
Tune in as Tyler and I talk about the power we have to speak our voice and how we can use our voice to stand up for what we believe in. We also discussed how our values can lead to monetization, how we can help our children to shape their own values, how men can build each other up, and how understanding what money really is can lead to true abundance.

“Not only is the brain the most powerful machine that exists, but it will literally give you everything you want if you know how to use it.” -Liam Naden
The human brain is much more than just a collection of neurons firing away at each other— it is also the one responsible for what we do and how we do it. The way we think and act is largely determined by our brains' ability to process information in a way that allows us to identify patterns, make predictions based on those patterns, and then act accordingly. The fact that this happens is mind-blowing—but the fact that we can control our own minds is even more incredible!
In this episode, Ted sits with speaker, writer, teacher, and researcher Liam Naden. Liam has been researching how to improve quality of life—our decision-making, problem-solving,and generally how we live life. He discovered that the key to unlocking our full potential is in the proper understanding of how the brain works and how to use it the right way.
Listen in as Ted and Liam discuss how powerful the brain really is and how we can harness this power to manifest what we want in life. They also talk about the right and wrong ways of using the brain, the four parts of the brain and how each one functions, the truth about goal-setting, and how to move past the fear and towards thriving mode.

"Own reality. Your reality is far from your expectations" -Jim Barnard
Feeling powerless is one of those feelings that we never want to experience. It leads us to an expectation gap, where our reality isn’t what we wanted or hoped for. It’s a hard place to be especially if something or someone important to us is at stake.
But feeling powerless, sometimes, can be a powerful motivator. It can force us to take action and lead us to new opportunities. This episode is a reminder that although our current reality falls short of expectations, we can still make the best out of it, and even be a guiding light to others.
This week, Coach Jim Barnard joins me in an inspiring conversation about not giving up and finding courage despite adversities. Jim suffered from depression when his parents divorced. Just when he thought he found healing, his courage and faith would soon be tested once again when his wife Alicia suffered a mysterious disease. Seeing his wife wasting away and the insurance company withdrawing their support, Jim felt helpless and could only hold his wife’s hand. What helped Jim overcome his situation?
Tune in as Jim and I talk about finding power when we feel powerless, owning our reality, showing up consistently, managing our fear of expectations, and serving others along the way.

“There's no shame in seeking support, understanding that you don't have to carry the work weight of the world on your shoulders. You're not alone… But it's a matter of you being courageous enough to reach out.” -Coach Michael Taylor
Toxic masculinity is a term used to describe the way in which men are taught to act in society, and how that can affect their lives. In a society that tells men they're the "breadwinners," and that they should be able to handle everything on their own, it's no wonder so many men are struggling.
Although this mentality has been deeply engraved in our society, we can still change it with three simple words: "I Need Help."
And while this phrase may sometimes feel like it's just an empty way to say you're vulnerable and want another person to take care of things for you, there's actually a lot more to it than that.
"I need help" means that we recognize that something has come up in our life that is bigger than we are—and it also means that we know what it feels like to be overwhelmed by something.
In this episode, I interview Coach Michael Taylor on how powerful these three words can be in transforming men’s lives. We also discuss the five illusions of manhood from Michael’s book, A New Conversation with Men, and how to shift these illusions to what’s real. Tune in and see masculinity from a new perspective!

“The easiest way to be successful is to have gratitude every day.” -Dr. Victor Manzo
While many people see the road to success as paved with money and fame, it is not necessarily true. While it in itself isn't wrong, having the wrong reason behind this chase leads to much pain and emptiness. If we don’t have the right motivation behind our pursuits, we might find ourselves getting further away from what we really want—and closer to feeling like nothing will ever be good enough.
So how can we make our path to success easier and more fulfilling? It all comes down to one simple question: "What do YOU want?"
In this episode, Ted sits with Mindset Coach, speaker, and author, Dr. Vic Manzo. Dr. Vic shares how assessing our goals can make a difference in our outcomes, how to differentiate between fulfillment and survival, and how our mindset can lead us to the best we can be. Tune in as Ted and Dr. Vic reveal the secret to maximizing results, managing time, and removing the resistance that hinders growth.

“Fear is an invitation to your next level of expansion.” -Ben Harris
I don’t know if you agree that fear is a feeling that we don’t always like, but it’s a feeling that can also be very useful.
Fear is just a feeling, and it's not a bad one. It means that something is going on in our life, and we're not sure how to handle it yet. And that's okay! It's a sign that we're about to do something extraordinary.
Our guest, Ben Harris is known as “The Fear Guy” for an uncommon reason— he follows it! You may wonder why someone would want to follow such an uncomfortable feeling. Well, let’s hear it from the man himself!
Listen in as I interview Ben about what is on the other side of fear. But first, what really is fear? Is fear even real? How does fear make us delusional and irrational? How can we say that fear stems from love? What is the right way to approach fear? And lastly, what possibilities are opened for us if we follow fear instead of avoiding it?

“Every guy has the opportunity to be a great father. Just know you're going to be a little freaked out first. But you're a student again for the first time and it's important that you have to learn. You will make mistakes along the way but admitting to them will make you a great parent.”
Welcome to the first official episode of The Modern Man Podcast— Connecting Men in Pursuit of Their Potential!
For this special episode, I want to talk about a topic that most of us have been asking for so long- how to be a father.
Having a child does not necessarily make a man a father. To be a "father", one must have the courage and the heart for it. It's a lifetime commitment and a legacy.
A lot of first-time fathers are afraid that they will not be able to handle the responsibilities of fatherhood. This can be a major source of stress for some men, especially for the father who has to figure out how to take care of his newborn while also figuring out how to be there for his wife. And it's even harder if he did not have a father figure to look up to while growing up.
It's important to remember though that being a great father does not mean perfection, rather having the willingness to spend time, grow patience, and make a dedication to becoming one.
This week, I got to sit down with Kendall Smith, the author of Rookie Father: A Playbook for Men Experiencing Fatherhood for the First Time. Raised by a single mother, Kendall did not have an immediate male role model. But this did not stop him from becoming the great father that he is today. He learned by observing other people, talking to them, and discovering things as he became a father himself.
Kendall and I discuss how fathers and fathers-to-be can overcome the challenge of time management, handling finances, setting priorities, building a strong bond with their kids, and working as a team with their spouses, even if they are not together anymore. And, more importantly. for men who are not yet fathers like me, how do we know if we are ready to take on that role? Kendall also answers that and more!

“This is not the end, it’s just a pivot.” -Andrej Suttles
We’re finally here—- the final episode of the No Rain No Rainbows Podcast. Is this really the end??
The straightforward answer to that is NO! Of course not. So there’s really no reason to get sad. We aren't leaving you high and dry here!
For the past few episodes, Ted has been talking about an upcoming change in the No Rain No Rainbows Podcast. And if you’ve been following Ted for some time now, you know that he also runs the brand The Modern Man and the podcast of the same name. Both No Rain No Rainbows and The Modern Man are close to his heart. But there comes a time for all of us to choose between two things dear to our hearts— and it will always be a tough choice.
When it comes to things like this, we all want to make the right decision. But how do you know what the right decision is? How do you know whether or not it's okay to leave one thing behind in order to pursue something else? And what if they're both things you want so badly?
Who is better qualified to have this tough conversation with today than the one who was with us since episode 1— the genius on all of the behind-the-scenes production and the man himself, Andrej Suttles of Suttlesolutions Media, LLC! Listen in as Ted and Andrej dive more into the reasons why Ted chose to focus on The Modern Man, what went into it, what we can expect regarding these changes, and the lessons we learned along the way. They also talk about the common pitfalls that can lead us astray when trying to decide what's best for ourselves, how to avoid them, and how to find our happy balance. Don’t miss out on this last episode as Ted and Andrej share words of encouragement for anyone who wants to overcome the fear of chasing after their own rainbows.
It's been a great ride! We’ve come close to 200 episodes and it still feels like a dream that we were able to go this far. The success of this show is all thanks to you and the love you’ve shown through the rainbows and the rains. We hope you'll continue following us and The Modern Man as we continue to evolve over time!
And remember….
If you ever find yourself at crossroads like this one, remind yourself that whatever decision you make, there's no way it'll be wrong. Because the truth is, there isn't just one correct answer. Don't worry about making any mistakes or doing anything wrong. Everything will work out fine— as long as you do what makes sense for YOU.

“What I was told was never the goal.” -Ryan Shekell
In life, there are two people who will tell you that you can't do it: other people and yourself.
Other people will sometimes say things that will discourage you, even if they mean well. But it is helpful to remember that when they say you can't, it doesn't have anything to do with you or what you can or can't achieve. Other people's opinions of you are formed based on their own experiences, not yours.
And then there's yourself—your inner critic. This is the voice inside your head that tells you you'll fail at whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. When you say you can't do something, it starts to feel true. But remember that you are the only person in charge of your life, so be careful with how you treat yourself!
It's probably the second one that can get to us the most. So, what can we do to make sure these voices do not drown our potential? In this episode, Ted speaks with Ryan Shekell, the host of Every Breath Counts Podcast. At 18, Ryan was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. As a young man yet starting to pursue his dream, this could mean the end. But not for Ryan!

Rebranding Alert!
There will be exciting changes in the No Rain No Rainbows Podcast. We hope you are as excited as we are! In the coming weeks, you'll find some changes that may affect you as a listener. What's been added? What's changed? And why is the change needed? Tune in and you’ll find out.
But speaking of branding— Did you know that a personal brand can be the most effective way to get your foot in the door of your desired industry? A strong personal brand will allow you to stand out in your professional industry, ensure that your personal message is heard, and maximize the opportunities available to you.
However, there is this misconception that you need to have a strong social media presence, wear the “most fashionable” clothing, and be completely outgoing. This is not necessarily true. The main goal with branding is to figure out what YOU want out of your career.
In this episode, Ted interviews Will Kaye a.k.a. Brimstone. Besides being a professional wrestler, Brimstone also holds many titles such as author, podcaster, musician, children’s book hero, philanthropist, and many more! What’s remarkable is that all of these, although sitting on the opposite side of the spectrum, perfectly complement each other. How does he do that? To build multiple income streams in different industries is achievable, but to have them relating back to each other and boosting each other’s potential— is that even possible? This episode will reveal the secrets you want to know about creating a personal brand that translates to multiple complementary revenue streams. Let's dive in!

“The biggest tragedy in the world is to live a whole life without anyone ever getting to know you.” -Dr. Fred Moss
It's scary to be a little different and talk out of the box. If you feel that way, you are not alone! All of us will go through this stage in life because we were taught from day one to fit in and not make waves. Soon, we are hiding behind the fear of being judged, the barrier of social acceptance, and the mask of false pride. But that's a trick of the mind! We’re not really fooling anyone because people can see through the facade and the only one who refuses to recognize it is us.
Speaking your truth doesn't mean you have to be loud or crazy. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of courage to say we don’t want this anymore. In this episode, Ted sits with author, speaker, psychiatrist, and podcaster Dr. Fred Moss. Ted and Dr. Moss discuss how we can evade the biggest tragedy of all— that of living our life without anyone knowing who we truly are, including us. They also talk about how we can find our true voice amidst the noise, what makes it hard to embrace our true voice, what can help us do so, the true cost of lying to ourselves, the common denominator humans have, and how acceptance can help us heal.
Speaking your truth is what really leads to the acceptance we so long for. It is our TRUE voice that speaks wisdom into our existence. Tune in and discover how to find and speak your honest, authentic voice!

“We have this perception in society that we have to have it all together…. It's okay not to be okay. Give yourself grace to not be okay. But just know that you can take the steps to be okay.” -Charlene Madden
Life can be a daunting journey. With each step we take, we are faced with trauma, pain, and adversities. And sometimes, ending it all seems the only way out. Still, we should never think of suicide as an option- not even once! It is a permanent solution for temporary problems, and it can leave our loved ones behind in despair and turmoil. Not everything is beautiful and rosy, but we can rise above the pain and trauma of life and show what's possible when we choose to live!
In this episode, Ted interviews mental health speaker and author, Charlene Madden on what her healing journey looks like. Charlene relates how her years of pain pushed her to almost make the worst decision of her life, and why she is thankful she didn’t. They also talk about the impact a community can make on your healing journey and how self-love, gratitude, and purpose can help you turn your life around.
It's not easy. It's really hard. In fact, it may seem downright impossible some days. But if you're reading this, then you still have hope. And that is something incredibly powerful. Tune in!

“The focus needs to be on what you're going to create going forward. It's not after the divorce is over, start right now!” -Sonia Frontera
When we think about divorce, it's easy to put all of the blame on our ex. And while that might feel good at the moment, it can ultimately hurt us, our former spouse, and our kids in the long run. When we try and make someone else the bad guy, we get caught up in the blame game. We get caught up in fighting over things that don't matter to us anymore. And it keeps us stuck. It keeps us from moving forward and healing.
But our ex is not the enemy here, and we are not either! But we know that the only person who can hurt us is ourselves. While it is pretty easy to get caught up in the anger and resentment of the situation, it is important to remember that there are ways to approach it so we can come out of the process with a better relationship with our ex and make the experience better for everyone, especially our kids.
In this episode, Ted sits with trainer, author, and divorce lawyer Sonia Frontera to discuss the realities of divorce and the good things that can come out of the process if spouses approached it collaboratively. But first and foremost, unless it is an abusive relationship, the priority should be to save the marriage. After all, it is a sacred union. Ted and Sonia share practical steps that couples can take before even deciding to cut the cord. But the question is, what if in the end, they still decided to push through with the divorce? Tune in and learn how ex-spouses can navigate life after divorce and find happiness again.

“People are good at being busy and they have no time. But if you were to be productive, you can free up a lot of time.” -Robert Riopel
We’ve been taught that success is a result of hard work, luck, or even opportunity. It isn’t. Success is a result of intentional decisions. Successful people are successful because they develop the habits that lead to success.
In this episode, we will gain valuable insights on how to build wealth so we can create more time for the things that matter to us. Joining us this week is Robert Riopel, the author of Success Left A Clue. Robert elaborates on just what those clues are and how to apply them. Ted and Robert also share how to go about building a passive income stream that will create time freedom, why owning our debt is important, how to take ownership of our investment, why we should have a mandatory vacation, what differentiates being busy as opposed to being productive, and how to turn failures and setbacks around to your benefit.
Your financial freedom is your most valuable investment. When your focus is on the money, you’re going to plan your life around making it. When you’re focused on the time, you’re going to plan your life around how to use it. Tune in as Ted and Robert solve the financial freedom equation.

“When you take bold action, good stuff happens.” -Fred Joyal
Life doesn't happen when you are busy making plans. Life happens when you are out exploring what is possible– and that requires boldness.
In this episode, Ted and Superbold author Fred Joyal discuss how to cultivate the superpower of boldness and the good things that come with it. They also talk about how we can break free from the patterns that suppressed our boldness, how to develop our boldness muscle even if we are introverts, how to quiet the voices that predict negative outcomes (which in most cases, will never happen anyway), what instances require us to be bold, how confidence differs from cockiness, and how we can display boldness in our business.
The only borderline between a dream and a dream come true is the action between them. Tune in as Fred reveals a systematic way to be superbold!

“You're not only the actor, you're also the director. And this is where you can take the script and you can change what happens.” -Nic Aguirre
The subconscious mind is the source of our creativity, intuition, and problem-solving skills. But it can also be the reason why we struggle with certain issues. When we talk about the subconscious mind, we’re not talking about dreams or hallucinations, but instead, the part of our mind that regulates all of our bodily functions and dictates every action we take and most decisions we make.
In this episode, we will take a look at what hypnosis really is, how hypnotherapy works, what the so-called trance state is like, what is the subconscious mind, how to manifest the change we want to achieve, and how you can use this information to your advantage.
A lot of people are skeptical about hypnotherapy. But in a world where most people are not living the life they want for themselves, maybe we are missing something in terms of achieving true personal growth and reprogramming our subconscious mind so that we can make our visions into reality. No doubt you’ll agree that before we write something off, it’s worth giving it a thorough examination first.
So if you’re ready to make the type of changes in your life that will bring you the results you want, check out today’s episode.

“Yes, you're having a challenge. Yes, you're in the middle of this storm. But you are more than this moment.” -Barby Ingle When it comes to self-care, many people find it difficult to put themselves first. The worst is not even knowing what you are living with. Barby Ingle spent 3 years visiting 42 different doctors to finally give a name to what’s been torturing her. And from this experience, Barby found her voice to advocate for herself and for others who are living with a rare disease and chronic illness.
Suffering from a rare disease or chronic illness affects not only our overall well-being but also our job, our relationships, and everything we hold dear. It is an everyday battle that may not be easily seen let alone acknowledged. However, in order to be effective caregivers for others, we must first learn to nurture and care for ourselves. But advocating for ourselves is one of those fuzzy ideas that does not come with a manual. Where do we even start?
Tune in as Ted and Barby share 3 ways we can advocate for our health. They also discuss how we can navigate the changing dynamics of our lives as we deal with constant changes, how to address the emotional, psychological, and social aspects of living with chronic and rare disease, how affirmations dictate how we treat ourselves, and how to have a more positive mindset towards our situation.
Spending time at a hospital isn't always ideal but it's important to advocate for your health and know that you are more than this moment.

“What are you willing to do to have the life that you want to have? And the answer was no excuses, just results.” -Michael Anthony
No one wants to look back on their lives and regret is the only feeling that they have. But that’s the reality of our world. Most people live their lives with regrets feeling that there’s something left undone, something they didn’t try hard enough to achieve, or maybe even something wrong about who they are and what they believe in. What’s even sadder is that the principal reason behind this is that they have accepted other people’s standards as their own and failing in it hard.
Michael Anthony had horrible experiences growing up. Just when he thought he would never amount to something and was about to give up, he decided to give it one more chance and finally evolved to the “Unbroken” Michael Anthony we know today.
In this episode, Michael relates horrible, heart-wrenching stories of his lowest lows you would never believe happened to just one man. Ted and Michael also talk about how to end generational trauma through education, how to break free from the limitations and standards that others have imposed on you, where to begin in your healing journey, how to shift your mindset and reality into growth, how to act kinder to yourself, and four aspects of your life that you should start investing in: Time, Energy, Effort, and Money.
You’ve always been told who to be, what to be, and how to be. And you don’t want that. You have an amazing life ahead, and it’s time you claim it. No excuses, just results! Tune in and learn what it really takes to live a life unbroken.

“When you’re asked to speak in front of others, you did not win a lottery to get there. You were chosen for a particular reason. You have something to share with others. So, look at it that way.” -Peter George
Public speaking is a skill that we have to do at some point in our lives. It can be a nerve-wracking experience; so much so that we forget what we were supposed to talk about!
In most cases, the fear of public speaking is not in the actual speech itself rather in the anticipation of it. It is often difficult to come up with a good opening statement or story that will captivate an audience. And it certainly is even more terrifying to think that we might mess up and make a fool out of ourselves. The thing is, we are not there to embarrass ourselves. We are there to help and make a difference. So, what could possibly go wrong?
Now that we have the right intention, the only thing left to do is deliver it with impact. And that is what our guest, Public Speaking Coach Peter George, expands on today. Ted and Peter answer the most intriguing questions about public speaking and communication- Should you engage in public speaking? What are the benefits of public speaking? What is the difference between speaking and communication? How do you prepare and rehearse for your presentation? How can you overcome stage fright? How can you manage your nervousness? Should you go for a script or bullet points? And the most asked question of all time: What do you do with your hands? Tune in!

“The way you build a life that is balanced is to start with basic self-care and make it habitual.” -Suzanne Falter Working hard is one of the most admirable qualities a person can have. The hard-working are driven to meet their goals. But sometimes, that drive can reach an extreme point. There are those who work so much that they no longer have the energy to engage in healthy activities. There are those who spend most of their waking hours at work and not paying attention to the rest of their lives. This can lead to great physical stress and even terrible mental outcomes. And worst of all, working excessively is counterproductive to your success.
The Extremely Busy Woman's Guide to Self-Care author Suzanne Falter believed that she cannot have the life and the job she wants, which led her to a life of overworking yet not achieving her goals. But her life took a complete turn when her daughter suddenly died. Listen in as Suzanne shares a very valuable lesson she learned from her daughter’s diary. Ted and Suzanne also discuss how to know if we are working way too much, why we should use the breaks and reassess ourselves, and what can we do to build a balanced life with self-care in our list of priorities.
It’s true that there are things we cannot control, especially if we have obligations to fulfill. However, one thing we can control is our perception of our time and our health. If we look at time and health as precious resources, we'll be able to avoid the dangers of working too much. Tune in and discover the secret to having great fun, great energy, and a great life!

“Make goals so small that you can't fail.” -Nita Sweeney
If you spend 60 hours in a period of 60 days devoted to achieving whatever your goal is, that’s about 1 hour every day. Will you say it’s doable? Probably, if you’re motivated enough that is. However, if you are facing depression and anxiety on top of that, even the simplest task will sound like a hike to Mount Kilimanjaro.
But…. What if we changed that to 60 SECONDS instead? Now we’re talking!
Nita Sweeney suffered from depression, mood swings, and grief from the loss of her loved ones for so long. And like everybody else, Nita longed for a better life, a happier one out of the ravine she’s in. But making that change does not come easy for anyone… until… she found a tool that gave her a jumpstart, one that lasted for a mere 60-second. It may not sound much, but eventually, Nita got her footing and became an award-winning wellness author and ultramarathoner — all in her late 40’s!
But that’s not only what helped Nita overcome her negative emotions. Listen in as Nita reflects on how doing both the inner work made the outer work more bearable and lessons she learned about making ridiculously small goals and being always on the move. As her book states, Depression Hates a Moving Target. So, keep on moving!
Adversities can get beyond our ability to conquer, and it’s not your fault. It’s just how it is. That’s why we have a community. But sometimes, it’s really up to us to make that call ourselves. Ask for it and it will come.
If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, having thoughts of suicide, or just need someone to rely on for emotional support, don’t hesitate to call and reach out for that needed help.

“An exciting plan is built on a foundation of daily disciplines.” -Nate Rifkin
Often, when we are faced with problems, the first thing we do is find a solution. But what if, instead of finding out what to do, we do nothing at all? Problems cause us stress and looking for an answer gives us additional stress, which is not so productive in any way. We’re not saying it’s better to mope all day and just give up. We’re saying, what if we stop for a moment and reset before we continue on?
Meditation is a technique that has helped many to unravel the crowd of thoughts that clouds their mind. But is this ancient practice still effective in this contemporary world? The Standing Meditation author, Nate Rifkin can attest to that! Learn how meditation has personally helped Nate overcome depression, anger, and bad habits and create new patterns. Ted and Nate also discuss where to start with meditation and important points to ponder as you set new goals, install new habits, and handle adversities.
We all have childhood stories and emotions shut deep within us. And until we break free from these chains, we will not reach our destination.

“In all areas of our lives, we are expected to not have results or success unless we work towards it. Why is it in relationships, we're allowed to be lazy? It doesn't make any sense!” -Emmy Hernandez
This is it! There’s no doubt in your heart that you’ve found “the one”. This is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

“Everyone's life is an autobiography. You are a living story. Keep building that autobiography into something worth reading.” -Sam Thiara
“Who Am I?” is one of the hardest questions to ever bewilder us. Some people were able to find the answer early on, but most people struggle with identity crises even in their 40’s or older. But where do we even begin searching for the answer? And is that answer really worth the journey? Today’s conversation emphasizes that we should not be defined by what we do, but rather by who we are. Before you embark to find out what you want to do, discover first who you are and the journey will be much more fulfilling.
Sam Thiara is a British-born Canadian whose parents came from Fiji Islands while his grandparents came from India. In search of his identity, Sam embarks on a journey to find his roots with a small blurry picture and a burning enthusiasm. Was Sam able to find the missing piece in his puzzle?
In this episode, Sam shares how his travel to India was like and the lessons he learned along the way. As the Chief Motivating Officer of Ignite the Dream Coaching and Consulting, Sam also shares inspiring thoughts about perceiving obstacles, creating and being guided by your 5 core elements, facing tons of rejections, and making each setback a learning opportunity.

“The life events that happen to you shape who you are, which will then shape your future.” -Sammy Warrayat
Emptiness is the feeling we get when we live our life devoid of purpose. Nobody wants to feel that something is missing in their lives. However, our busy schedule makes us unduly occupied to have the time and energy to search for that deeper meaning. There’s no reason to keep going on this way. But what can we do?
In this episode, Ted and Sammy Warrayat, the host of Successful Millennials Podcast share the secret to eliminating and managing your limitations without lowering your lifestyle and income! Ted and Sam also discuss how to break free from a short-sighted mentality, isolate the type of fear that you have and counteract that specific one, live with intentionality, and accumulate experiences that will shape your identity and future.
Getting what you want in life starts with knowing who you are, and from there, you’ll discover that you are more capable than you think.

“If it's not worth going all in, is it worth it to do this whole thing? If you're not willing to go all the way in, don't even try it.” -Chase Harmer
What makes a founder distinct from an entrepreneur? If you have a unique idea for a business, perhaps the next step you’d take is to build your own company. Apparently, being a founder takes more than guts and vision. A founder is someone who is willing to go all-in no matter what. This week, Chase Harmer, the CEO of ProfitPay, tells from experience what it really takes to be a founder- and a successful one at that. Chase discusses what needs to be done and met to build a scalable company that does not simply earn money, but gain profits. Ted and Chase also talk about where the ability to see things differently comes from, how the logicals and the creatives can make a great team, what to remember before you pivot, how to manage setbacks, and how to be ready when opportunity finally knocks on your door.

“When we stop looking to others to make us happy, we become the happiest we can be.” -Mark Moskowitz
Most often, we believe that certain successes breed self-esteem while failures cause us to shed every bit of confidence we have. In reality though, self-esteem means the exact opposite. That may sound a bit confusing and unusual. But let us yield the floor to Mark Moskowitz, author of Within, as he shares a very unforgettable lesson from a very unlikely place- the Federal prison. In this episode, Mark will show you the different sights of being a human: making mistakes, growing up, forming identity, and building success. Listen in as Ted and Mark talk about what the view from the top looks like, what sceneries you can find when you reach rock bottom, and what amazing finds you’ll discover from within. Mark also shares more of his book, and what he learned about self-esteem and its connection to success. If we take the time to reshape, reflect, and rebuild, will we also experience incredible transformations inside out? No doubt! So it’s your turn now, and your journey starts from within.

“Analyze what you are doing. What everybody else is doing out there is wrong, because that would put you average, and to me, averages unacceptable.” -Joel Gandar
Joel Gandara is the CEO and founder of Morro Capital, a privately-owned e-commerce apparel company with a portfolio of over 20 brands. But prior to his success, Joel had an extraordinary story to tell. Onboard a small boat, Joel and his family left their homeland and immigrated to the US. As passionate as ever, Joel started his entrepreneurial journey as a young kid selling trading cards, and whatever he sees is a good product. At 16, he was already paying for himself, at 22 he already bought a house, and at 30, Joel was already earning millions in net worth, enjoying his “early retirement”, focusing on his family, and doing the things he loves.
How was Joel able to have such great achievements in a short period of time? Before you say “Impossible!”, hear out what Joel had to go through to live the life he now has. In this episode, Ted and Joel discuss why having a clarity of desire is necessary for achieving your goals, how to keep burnout at bay and stay focused and motivated, what to do when you feel you can’t go on anymore, how to take ownership of yourself and your time, and how to keep the excitement going once you’ve achieved your goals.
The hardest worker is not always the most successful- the wise one is. As Ted says, “You have a choice to chase the life that you say you want or continue to live the life that you currently have.” You will have pain along your journey, that’s a given. But you have to choose which pain to take- the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

“It's not only about how sound influences us to buy, but also how it influences our daily lives because sound is everywhere.” -Jodi Krangle
Imagine our world without sounds. That would be hard, even if we do love silence sometimes. Weirdly enough, we can still “hear” sounds when we look at certain inaudible objects such as pictures, gifs, and animations. We can even hear sounds even in our imagination! It’s oddly astonishing how these invisible wave disturbances affect our lives so greatly.
Today, sound has taken even more meaning in our lives. It has become a principal part of our daily activities, and for some people, a passion and a career. This week, Professional Voice Over Actor, podcaster, and solopreneur, Jodi Krangle joins us in for another inspiring conversation about creating the life you want to live. Jodi has loved sounds since she learned how to make one. And today, she shares how sound can be your most treasured asset. Ted and Jodi also talked about the business side of building a creative project. Learn the ins and outs and expectations vs. realities of being self-employed, and what values and strategies are needed in order to make it sustainable. If you are prepared for what’s to come and stay focused on your goals, there is no way you’ll miss the sweet resounding music of success.

“Realize with your real eyes that you were made for more. Realize with your real eyes that your purpose is bigger than what you have going on right now. Realize with your real eyes that tomorrow can be and should be better than today.” -Bro Rhy
We are living fast in a fast-paced world that’s changing so fast. That’s overly emphasized but it surely mirrors the state we are in. We’ve been told to “grind! grind! grind!” but nothing in nature seems to agree with how we live life- not even decay! So, the message is clear and loud: WE NEED TO SLOW DOWN. There has to be a better way to do this, and there is!
This week, Ted sits with “The Inspiration Guy”, Bro Rhy to talk about how to match our purpose with our career in the healthiest way possible. We do work hard to provide for our family’s material needs, but that doesn’t mean we are off the hook in providing for the more important things, namely emotional, psychological, social, moral, and spiritual. Tune in and learn how you can do all that while letting peace dictate your pace, living your purpose, honing your gifts, and creating impact. Rhy also shares how you can use the “camera of truth” and the 3 A’s in life to stay productive and make your actions count.

Many people look successful on the outside but lack that inner peace and satisfaction. But this does not have to be true about you! This week, we’re going on a training camp with Training Camp for the Soul CEO, Chris Marhefka. Chris had been an achiever, always following the plans and completing the plans.

In this episode, Ted and Chris talk about the very fragment needed to help you have more control over your life, walk your own path, and set a model for others.

We are all afraid to take risks! That’s how our reptilian brain is wired. But believe it or not, we are taking risks every single day of our lives. Crossing the street, driving your car, making decisions, and even cooking your meals- everything presents risks.

Do you feel sick in your stomach whenever you speak before an audience? Many of us do, and sometimes when that happens we think that we are not worthy of this privilege. However, it is good to remember that there are two types of speakers on a stage: those who were born speakers and those who were made for speaking.
Mike Acker is one of today’s legendary speakers. He has been speaking for over 20 years, and has affected a myriad of individuals, companies, and institutions. With his speaking prowess, nobody would think Mike has speech impediment. His fear of speaking was so intense he suffered from psychosomatic fever when he spoke to an audience. In this episode, Ted and Mike share how their journey was like before they were able to develop full confidence as public speakers. From their stories you will learn how to overcome the paralyzing effect of fear, articulate your message better, and speak your real voice. Mike also shares how the weights we often carry affect how we show up on stage, and where to place those weights so that they serve us rather than weigh us down. As you prepare for your next speaking engagement, listen to these 3 simple tricks you can do to reduce pressure and give yourself an advantage on stage.

The thought of parting with their possessions presents a certain degree of grief while resulting in unmanageable clutter which affects their daily routine and lifestyle. For 14 years, Tracy has already helped thousands to declutter and regain their freedom through her company, dClutterFly. In this episode, Tracy shares what clutter is, how to identify if we’re already falling into the clutter trap, how clutter blocks prevent us from letting go, how to declutter after a loved one dies, and how to find joy while decluttering. It’s truly hard to let go of things that have meaning to us. But if our stuff starts to own us, we may be paying much more than we should. Other things also deserve our time, energy, and affection such as being with our loved ones and making time for ourselves. Tune in as Tracy talks about the emotional part of clutter, and how it relates to stress, anxiety, and decision fatigue.

“Part of what we need to do is not just to deal with the behavior problem, but we have to transform the heart.” -Eddie Capparucci, Ph.D., LPC
Sex Addiction, like any other form of addiction, is disruptive and destructive. It can affect one’s personal life, career, and relationships with its negative consequences potentially extending throughout a lifetime. On the other hand, many people reason that pornography is a safer option. Is this justification valid and plausible? What message does pornography actually convey? In this episode, Dr. Eddie Capparucci discusses how unresolved childhood traumas can manifest as addiction and how shame reinforces undesirable behaviors. He also talks about the correlation between low emotional quotient and addiction. Get ready to identify your inner child as Dr. Capparucci lists the 9 types of inner children and which of the 4 emotional triggers rouse each one. Though this conversation mainly focuses on pornography and sex addiction, the wisdom that Dr. Eddie shares may apply to other forms of addiction.

“If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.”
Banksy
We live in highly demanding times.
Whether it’s your job, relationships, kids, or friends, we’re always “On.”
The small amazing gadgets in our pocket make us accessible 24/7 to the people we have carelessly given our credentials to. Notification goes off, and we respond.
If it’s not the phone, it’s something else. Maybe it’s work deadlines, pressure to keep up with house chores, or kids calling out “mom” every 3 seconds.
Whatever it may be, a lot of us have felt the constraints of obligation close in tighter and strangle us into submission.
There has got to be a better way... Thankfully, there is!

THE GREATEST WEAPON AGAINST STRESS IS OUR ABILITY TO CHOOSE ONE THOUGHT OVER ANOTHER.
William James
We’ve all had those moments where the walls feel as though they’re closing in on us. We get short of breath, the beads of sweat start to collect on our forehead, and suddenly the room is on a spin cycle.
If this has happened to you before, you know how quickly the feeling comes. Even further, you probably know how hard it can be to shake that feeling as well.
Unfortunately, so many people find themselves in a highly stressed state for an extended period of time. The results can be catastrophic!
Our brains, though amazing, are truly archaic. The fear of missing a work deadline or constantly trying to balance the budget and make bill payments gets registered the same as us being attacked by a saber-tooth tiger.
Our bodies were not made to remain under this type of stress for an extended period of time or repeated on a daily basis. Because of this, the stress in our daily lives has the potential to really take a toll on our bodies and on our immune system.
My guest today Chantel Soumis is a brand sorceress, sales and marketing magician, and an international keynote speaker. Her positive spirit and bubbly personality are sure to light up a room. (Let alone a zoom call!)
What makes this amazing woman even more remarkable is her story of perseverance and drive. Drowning in stress looking for work, trying to feed a newborn, and struggling to keep the heat on would lead to a flare-up of Multiple Sclerosis.
Losing your sight and the ability to walk is a scary and demoralizing experience at any age. For Chantel, looking at a long life ahead of her, 25 was too soon to call it quits.
Hop into today’s episode and find out how Chantel was able to let go of that stress, focus on gratitude, and lean into the network of support around her. Regaining her sight in one eye and being humbled by the mobility challenges are just a few of the countless blessings she acknowledges every day.
In this episode we discuss:
- Turning a negative into a positive
- Never giving up
- Focusing on gratitude
- Setting boundaries
- Leaning into your support group
- Identifying your greatest weakness

“IT IS NOT THE MAN WHO HAS TOO LITTLE, BUT THE MAN WHO CRAVES MORE, THAT IS POOR.”
Seneca
If money had the ability to make people happy, then the richest people in the world would be filled with joy. It doesn’t take long for you to look around and quickly realize that that’s simply not the case.
The truth is happiness and joy are two things money can’t buy. Though money can provide you with options, choices, and reduced stress, happiness is sold separately. Sorry…
With that being said though, it doesn’t mean that money is a bad thing. It also doesn’t mean that finding happiness needs to be done after gathering all the tokens you can and defeating the boss at the end.
This game of life is too short to wait until the end to be happy.
Instead, what if you focused on cultivating your happiness now? What if you leaned into the hard things you’ve experienced in life and took the lessons from it to grow? Imagine you let yourself free from a restricting past, shed those limiting beliefs to walk into your true greatness as a human being, and started living a life full of joy, happiness, and love.
Is that something you think you would enjoy? Yeah… Me too!

“SOMETIMES THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU WON’T UNDERSTAND YOUR JOURNEY. THEY DON’T NEED TO, IT’S NOT FOR THEM.”
Joubert Botha
Something that stops so many of us from reaching out to others in times of crisis is the potential backlash we might get from needing to reach out in the first place. How sad is it that the thing we need the most is within reach yet so far away because of the social environments we find ourselves in?
Without a safe space to feel comfortable, valued, and heard, we’re bound to stay trapped in our minds, digging deeper into the depths of our subconscious and letting negative self talk take root. Don’t let your mind become tainted. It’s time to clear out the garden and pull some weeds.
My guest today, Dr. Dawn Crosson is a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Trauma Therapist. She brings over 24 years of experience in the world of psychology to us on today’s episode. Her work has spanned topics such as Parenting, Conduct Disorders, Mood Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and Sexual Abuse.
Her insights and tips are tools we can all use to reaffirm our positions in life, gather motivation in ourselves, and build the confidence we need to move forward. Hop into today’s episode as we discuss:
- Going from discouraged to determined
- Realizing you have everything you need within you
- Developing adequate coping skills
- Learning to prioritize self-care
- Committing to your faith

DON’T WAIT FOR EXTRAORDINARY OPPORTUNITIES. SEIZE COMMON OCCASIONS AND MAKE THEM GREAT. WEAK MEN WAIT FOR OPPORTUNITIES; STRONG MEN MAKE THEM.
Orison Swett Marden
What is it about a television screen or a ton of followers that instantly separates us from the “selected few?”
You see them on billboards, in championship games, and still can’t believe they threw the Lombardi trophy from one boat to the other! Man, that must be an extraordinary life…
What if I told you the life is extraordinary but the person is not?
Now before anyone goes firing off in the comments, I’m not trying to downplay the greatness of anyones accomplishments. I’m simply stating that the life someone is able to build is directly correlated to how well they can maximize their gifts.
With that being said, maybe we all have a bit of greatness within ourselves.
We just need to find that one focus, commit ourselves to the cause, and chip away at the vision one step at a time.

“WE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF INFINITELY MORE THAN WE BELIEVE. WE ARE STRONGER AND MORE RESOURCEFUL THAN WE KNOW, AND WE CAN ENDURE MUCH MORE THAN WE THINK WE CAN.”
David Blaine
If you take the time and really think about it, you’d be surprised at how many things you do every day that once intimidated us. However, once you got over that hump, it became second nature.
Babies don’t sit down thinking: “Maybe this walking thing isn’t for me.”
No! They get back up and try again.
Unfortunately, so many of us lose this mindset as we grow up. We look at these amazing people on TV or on Social Media and think to ourselves that we could never do that.
If only you knew how wrong you were…
Today’s episode is all about empowering you. This is your sign that not only can you do that thing that intimidates you so much, but you were also born to do it!
Don’t wait for permission. Your time to start is now. Take the action required and I promise, you’ll be shocked at what you can do.
My guest today Tracy Lamourie is the Founder and Managing Director of Lamourie Media. She’s the winner of the 2020 Women of Inspiration Award for Media, and the author of the upcoming book GET REPPED – Build Your Brand With Effective Public and Media Relations. When it comes to stepping into the room as if you belong there, Tracy is your girl. Those rooms have led to amazing opportunities and Tracy continues to show up and deliver!
Don’t miss this episode of Tracy and I discussing:
- How YOU can change the world!
- Learning how to feel empowered
- Finding out what you’re an expert in
- The importance of giving back to the world
And more!

"The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it..."
Nicholas Sparks
A lot of us run away from our emotions.
It could be because we don’t understand them, or maybe we simply don’t like feeling them. Whatever the case may be, we still tend to avoid them.
Of course, the more we try to run, the heavier that bottle of emotions tends to get. And you know what they say about bottled-up emotions...
Sooner or later, it’s going to be on us to face “Emotion that shall not be named” and deal with it. It’s exactly as Thanos said in Avengers: Endgame; “It’s inevitable.”
Knowing this fate doesn’t have to be a sentencing, though. What if it was actually our ticket to freedom?
Stay with me here!
What if we learned how to take on our emotions on our terms? If we can set up the environment the way we want it, maybe we can start to play some offense. Not defense.
Sure, defense wins games. But doesn’t it still feel good to score once in a while?
"Hike!"
If you’re really looking to get into the game, you’re going to want a playbook...
My guest today, Sherianna Boyle, is the author of Emotional Detox as well as 7 other titles. She is also an Emotional Detox Coach,® Radio Host, and Co-founder of CLEANSElife.com. When it comes to learning how to identify your emotions, understand them, and ultimately digest them, Sherianna can show you the way.
Join us as we discuss:
- The Influence Emotions Have
- Why You Should Stop Managing Your Emotions

“Never make excuses. Your friends don’t need them and your foes won’t believe them.”
John Wooden
Quick question...
Why are you not where you want to be in life right now? (If you are where you want to be... Why did you stop?)
I ask this question because, if you're like me, the first thing that comes to mind is a list of excuses. So many answers will cover time constraints, kids, bad bosses, and missed opportunities. If we really analyze it, they're all excuses.
I don't say this to be insensitive. I say this to offer a reality check.
When everything is said and done, we are the ones in control of our lives and what we do. Despite the circumstances we find ourselves in, it's on us to rise above and push forward.
In order to eliminate excuses and take control of our lives, we must first decide who holds the reins. (That's you by the way...)
Perspective is also huge! If we choose to only see the bad, the bad is what we get. The same can be said for the positive. If we train ourselves to see the good in everything, suddenly what we get is good.
This only happens with practice and intention. Very seldom do we stumble on this mindset ourselves.
My guest today knows all about overcoming excuses. Maxwell Ivey is internationally known as The Blind Blogger. He started losing his vision to retinitis pigmentosa at an early age and became legally blind by junior high school and totally blind by the time he graduated from college.
Maxwell's story includes working with his family's carnival business, selling surplus rides for other vendors, teaching himself how to code, starting his own podcast, writing books, losing over 250 pounds, and more. If you need inspiration and drive, Maxwell is the man to talk to.
A journey like Maxwell's doesn't come without a sense of humor, which you'll also pick up on VERY quickly throughout this episode. Hop in and take a listen as we discuss:
- Being Willing To Get Dirty
- Deciding That Something Good Is There
- Asking People For Help
- Celebrating Your Wins
- Making A List
And more!

"I grew up thinking that corporate America was my destination. Then I got there, and I was making the money I wanted to make, but I just wasn't happy."
Lauren Gibbs
What if the way out was by going deeper?
This is not an episode about how bad corporate America is. In fact, it's the exact opposite.
Corporate America can offer countless lessons, opportunities, and experiences. The true challenge is understanding the power and potential at our fingertips. There is so much we can learn from the 9-5.
When we commit to the role we're in, we start to find opportunities and lessons in places we never thought to look. That chance to take on new responsibilities, oversee, and manage a team might actually be the experience we need for the business venture we plan on running in the future.
You see... We spend so much time eyeballing the door out that we forget to think about the ladder right beside us. What if instead of trying to run out the door, we try to climb the ladder?
Climbing the corporate ladder is the perfect practice for running a business. The higher we go up, the more we get to see the inner workings of a successful operation. Imagine the lessons we can learn from a company that has already figured out how to be profitable?
Another added bonus is the number of connections we can make and the network we can build in the process of moving up the corporate ladder. Once we're high enough to enjoy the view, we can take that leap, spread our wings, and learn how to fly.
My guest today is Catherine Cantey. Before helping high potential managers turn into senior leaders, Catherine spent 20 years building other businesses and climbing up the corporate ladder. Her experience in banking has allowed her to not only learn the importance of listening but also close the broadband gap in rural communities with a $12.1 million public-private investment journey.
You're going to want to grab a pen and paper for today's episode as we discuss:
- The Importance of Results
- Finding a Mentor and Sponsor
- Building Your Network
- Celebrating The Little Wins
- Listening and Following Up

“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.”
John Green
There is so much that can happen in the space between our ears. A lot of it can be great, exciting, and enjoyable at times... But sadly it can also be a scary, dark, and unbearable experience.
That’s when we need to reach out and ask for help. Unfortunately, so few do.
There has been a stigma surrounding mental health that often causes people to feel shame around it. The “Man Up,” or “Don’t Quit,” culture we often find ourselves in, doesn’t really facilitate an environment to share the things that leave a lasting mark on us.
So how can we change that resistance to ask for help? How can we prevent the mind from spiraling in the wrong direction, whether it be for ourselves or for others?
My guest today, Clint Adams is an Author and Suicide Prevention Advocate. He’s a former Victorian police officer who studied psychology, rehabilitation, and counseling.
His answer would be a combination of techniques, practices, habits, and environment. By focusing on these, we can change the trajectory of the mind and hopefully prevent things from getting out of hand.
These tools don’t just apply to ourselves. They apply to others as well.
Hop into today’s episode and join us as we discuss:
- Creating the space for others to share
- Focusing on our own mental health to help others with theirs
- Not being stuck in your identity
- Isolation as a choice vs. sentence.
And More!

“Some beautiful paths can’t be discovered without getting lost.”
Erol Ozan
In a world littered with imitation, the unique stand out. You've seen them.
You know, the ones who decide each day to do things a little differently and lean, ever so slightly, against the grain.
We observe these people with a combination of respect and envy. Admiring their confidence while wishing we had more of it ourselves.
What is it that makes these trailblazers so courageous and innovative? How can we blaze a trail of our own without imitating those that came before us?
My guest today, Jordan Mendoza would probably say, it’s all about embracing your story.

“WE ARE LIVING A LIMITLESS LIFE… KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE AND YOU ARE FREE.”
Bert McCoy
As kids, we were limitless…
Remember the imagination, dreams, and aspirations we used to have? We would look up at the sky and act as if the stars were within arms reach. Our world was filled with nothing but possibilities.
Somewhere along the road, we lost that spark. Whether it’s school, work, or the demands at home, we get overwhelmed and end up throwing our hands up in defeat. We accept the false reality that maybe we were just meant to be where we are.
It’s time to shake that belief.
What if I told you the reason you’re overwhelmed, stressed, or barely keeping up is because you haven’t fully optimized your mind, body, and time.
Jut think for a second… How much you could truly accomplish when firing on all cylinders?
My guest today, Julian Hayes II wants you to forget about limits and embrace your potential. As an epigenetic coach for entrepreneurs & executives, Julian is changing the way we approach aging, health, and performance. It’s easy to see that Julian’s experience comes from tested methods and years of perfecting his technique. Even still, Julian would tell you there is still so much more to explore.
Hop into today’s episode and join us as we discuss:
- Having it all, but not all at once
- Auditing your Life
- Sleep is a nutrient for the brain
- Developing your system
And more!

“IF YOU GET TIRED, LEARN TO REST, NOT TO QUIT.”
Banksy
We live in highly demanding times.
Whether it’s your job, relationships, kids, or friends, we’re always “On.”
The small amazing gadgets in our pocket make us accessible 24/7 to the people we have carelessly given our credentials to. Notification goes off, and we respond.
If it’s not the phone, it’s something else. Maybe it’s work deadlines, pressure to keep up with house chores, or kids calling out “mom” every 3 seconds. Whatever it may be, a lot of us have felt the constraints of obligation close in tighter and strangle us into submission.
There has got to be a better way… Thankfully, there is!
Scott Anderson is a… In his coaching, Scott spends a good amount of time dissecting burnout in his clients and delivering ways to recover and prevent it.
Did you know symptoms of Burnout include lack of energy, pessimistic behavior, and Isolation? If these sound similar to depression and Anxiety, that because just like the previously mentioned, burnout itself is a full-on clinical disorder.
What’s more shocking is the numbers Scot shares in this episode. Pre-pandemic measure estimated 20% of Americans are experiencing burnout. That number has since been increased to 60%! With that being said, it’s safe to say two out of three people reading this, need Scott’s advice and expertise.
Hop into today’s episode and join the conversation as Scott and I unpack the cause of burnout, strategies for preventing burnout, and how to increase our effectiveness on a daily basis.

“EVERY MOMENT IS A FRESH BEGINNING.”
T.S. Eliot
As we come into the final hours of 2020, it’s normal for a lot of us to look back and reflect. It’s that one last glance around the room before turning off the light, closing the door and moving on to your next chapter.
What does that room look like?
If we’re talking about 2020, I’m willing to bet it looks like a tornado went through it.
It’s safe to say we all had a personal and unique experience with 2020. Good or bad, our worlds have been rocked, hard. But we’re still on our feet!
In today’s episode of “No Rain… No Rainbows,” Andrej and I unpack the year we’ve had and set goals and projections for the upcoming year. We focus on embracing the challenges and using our circumstances as the launching pad for growth. Just like the Christmas episode, I invite you to join us in these questions;
What was the good, the bad, the lesson, and the blessing?
What are your goals and aspirations for 2021?
Andrej and I share our personal experiences with 2020 and focus on staying positive and celebrating the good while still acknowledging the bad. In the end, It’s about balance.
May this episode find you in good spirits and help in making 2021 eclipse your 2020!

“CHRISTMAS IS THE DAY THAT HOLDS ALL TIME TOGETHER.”
Alexander Smith
Christmas is an interesting time…
Many would say it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Others may think of it differently.
Whichever your view, it’s safe to say Christmas 2020 brings in a whole new meaning. How does the happiest time of the year look when the year has set the bar extremely low for so many?
While we all try our best to stay safe and salvage the best Christmas we can with friends and family, it’s also worth unpacking the intention of how we would like Christmas to look moving forward.
In this holiday episode, Andrej Suttles & I wish you a Merry Christmas and share the stories of our past experiences and future hopes. We invite you to join us in today’s exercise. The three questions we unpack in this episode are;
What was your favorite Christmas?
What was your most impactful Christmas?
What would you like Christmas to look like for your kids? (Or moving forward)
Hop into today’s episode and join us as we unpack these questions and share our thoughts. On behalf of Andrej and myself, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday!

“WATER FLOWS BECAUSE IT’S WILLING.”
Marty Rubin
How many things in your life right now are forced?
A lot of us fall into a trap of chasing a dream that isn’t really our own. Maybe we saw a glimpse of what we thought was a good life and committed it to memory. We chase these dreams so hard, not realizing we’re swimming against the current.
What if, instead, we listened to the feedback around us and leaned into the things that we were naturally drawn to? That’s the definition of living with authenticity.
It’s not so much about making something happen as much as it’s about letting something happen. We just need to keep pushing forward and making adjustments along the way. My guest today, Jenny Fisher, has taken step after step and has gained a bit of a following along the way. Just a few moments with @fitfishmom and you can tell right away why so many people enjoy her fitness videos and workout tips.
She cares.
What started out as a passion for people has led Jenny into a life of sales, family, and fitness. It’s clear that her love of surfing extends far past the shores. Jenny is a surfer through life, enjoying the wave and adjusting to feedback along the way.
Hop into today’s episode and hear Jenny and I discuss leaning into what we’re good at, not taking “No” personally, and having faith in ourselves. We touch on so much more throughout the episode as well.
I truly hope you enjoy this one!

“IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS ALWAYS DANGER FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID OF IT.”
George Bernard Shaw
Have you ever stopped and took the time to analyze why you want the things you want?
Sure, it would be nice to get that nice car and the house on the hill. But is that something you really want, or is it something you think will provide a particular outcome? I know that’s a bit deep, but just walk with me for a second.
What if the titles, goals, achievements, and attention were all just a means to an end? With that being said, wouldn’t it be good to know what exactly that “end” really is?
My guest today, Tripp Lanier knows how to peel back that top layer and really get to the root of what’s bugging us. In his book “This Book Will Make You Dangerous,” Tripp takes the reader on a self-explorative journey.
In this episode, Tripp and I dig deep into the theory behind our goals, embracing one's mortality, and discovering what it means to really live! Join the conversation and hear more from the host of “The New Man” podcast as we unpack the contents of “This Book Will Make You Dangerous”

“YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING IN LIFE YOU WANT IF YOU WILL JUST HELP ENOUGH OTHER PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY WANT”
Zig Ziglar
I truly believe that who you know can take you farther than simply what you know. The people we build relationships with and positively impact in this world are the ones who help us grow.
When they say, “It takes a village,” it applies to so much more than just raising children. It applies to raising your business or career.
Whether it’s seeking guidance, learning from others, finding people to serve, or helping someone else with a problem you once had, networks make the world go round. Luckily for us, today’s guest, Kamber Parker, is opening her network to you. What started out as a simple question;
“HOW DID YOU GET TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?”
Has become a collection of discussions, interviews, and insights into how young professionals can choose the career path that’s right for them and tips on how they can best excel in their chosen field.
Some of the best ideas are born from personal experiences. Kamber shares her journey of leaving her job, starting over, and creating The YoPro Know. Join us as we discuss false expectations, building connections, and taking the leap of faith.

“GRATITUDE IS THE HEALTHIEST OF ALL HUMAN EMOTIONS. THE MORE YOU EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR WHAT YOU HAVE, THE MORE LIKELY YOU WILL HAVE EVEN MORE TO EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR.”
Zig Ziglar
What are you grateful for?
It’s a question that some people have a hard time finding the answer to. Others, can’t help but rattle off the list of things they’re grateful for. So what’s the difference?
Perspective.
The way we look at life has a significant impact on the experience we have through it. We can either enjoy days of abundance and pleasure or live each day filled with sadness and disappointment. The choice is ours.
Choosing to live with gratitude is a daily activity that becomes a habit over time. When you intentionally practice gratitude, it becomes easier down the line. Soon you’ll notice not only the good things in your life but the good things that continue to pour in.
This is a special episode for me as we approach Thanksgiving 2020. In a year where so many people experienced loss and setbacks, we struggle to find the things we are still thankful for. To help me share in my gratitude and vision for the future, my guest today is none other than my fiancè Jess Boer. Not only am I thankful for her and the time we share together, but I’m also thankful for the challenges we have faced and continue to overcome.
I have had the pleasure of watching Jess on her journey of growth and development in the years we’ve been together. Taking a leap of faith and moving to Charlotte from New York was just the first step in what has been an amazing experience of growth and transformation.
Join Jess and I as we discuss the transition of starting a new life, share the things we are thankful for, and discuss different ways we can all live with a bit more gratitude.

IF YOU DON’T HEAL WHAT HURT YOU, YOU’LL BLEED ON PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T CUT YOU.
-Unknown
Sometimes all we need is someone willing to listen to the things that are happening in our lives…
I feel like there has been more attention given to mental health lately. The year 2020 has definitely pushed the conversation forward and made it visible on more peoples radar.
I myself have been aware and concerned about mental health for a while now. It’s something I realized we all struggle with at some point. If you’re reading this and thinking; “I don’t know about that, Ted.” Try and think back to the last time something rubbed you the wrong way. Maybe you snapped at someone or acted in a way you weren’t too proud of.
Yup… That’s a glimpse of what mental health is all about.
The emotions that we feel play a lot into the way we act. If we or the people closest to us don’t know where those emotions are coming from, how can we remedy any behavior we’re not proud of?
My guest today wants to empower you to take that journey. Aly Masters is a mental health advocate. Through her blog https://www.naturallyaly.com/, Aly lets you know that your mental health matters. The real value she offers is an ear to listen and connect. Something so many of us truly needs. Often times the first step in healing is understanding that we’re not alone. That is where Aly says the reflection can happen and the healing can begin.
Of course, it all starts with us actually wanting to heal and grow.
Aly and I touch on so many topics in this episode. Whether it’s finding someone to relate to, finding comfort in knowing that we’re not alone, or realizing that comparison is the thief of joy, you’re sure to resonate with what Aly has to share.

“I HATED EVERY MINUTE OF TRAINING, BUT I SAID, ‘DON’T QUIT. SUFFER NOW AND LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AS A CHAMPION’.”
Muhammad Ali
There are countless metaphors for life in boxing. I’m willing to bet you can think of a few right now. But why is that?
Maybe it’s because boxing, like many sports, has so many parallels to the struggles and obstacles of life. Putting on the gloves and stepping into the ring is like the equivalent of going after our dreams and ambitions.
Once we make the decision to chase our audacious goals, we’re bound to get humbled by the work needed to excel, the commitment needed to get noticed, and the competition we’re guaranteed to face along the way. How does that saying go?
“EVERYONE HAS A PLAN UNTIL THEY GET PUNCHED IN THE MOUTH…”
Mike Tyson
Despite the challenges and the mountain of resistance in front of us, so many people still choose to climb that mountain. They choose to enter the ring, get bruised up and bloody, all for the chance to see the view from the top[Rope].
My guest today, Mike Lee, knows what it feels like to reach that mountain top and would tell you it’s worth every bit of sweat. As a professional boxer, Mike went 21-1 with 11 knockouts and has been ranked the number 3 fighter in the world and fought for a World Title last July.
Mike’s journey would not be without its challenges though as health issues midway through his career led to a two-year hiatus from the ring. Battling an autoimmune disease and making his way back to continue what was at the time an undefeated career is the only thing you need to know about Mike and the kind of determination he has burning within him. As he says in this episode:
"THE GREATEST THAT HAVE EVER DONE IT HAVE ALL HIT THE MAT"
Mike Lee
Hop into today’s episode and listen as Mike and I discuss developing the mentality of never quitting, going all-in on a dream, focusing on your health, and getting back up after you get knocked down.
You’re going to love this one!

“LIFE IS INHERENTLY RISKY. THERE IS ONLY ONE BIG RISK YOU SHOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS, AND THAT IS THE RISK OF DOING NOTHING.”
Denis Waitley
It’s amazing the lessons we can learn in life if we’re smart enough to just listen to those who have lived before us.
If we could only let the wealth of knowledge pour over us and soak us with lessons and tips on how to navigate this thing called life. Just imagine how easier this could be.
Unfortunately, if you’re like me, we tend to do things the hard way. We want to find out for ourselves if that oven is really hot. If that road is really a dead end. And most importantly, if the glitter really isn’t gold. Then we grow up and find out that all those cliche sayings and lessons actually had some truth to them. Of course, the one you hear all the time is:
“IF I KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW.”
Don’t be that guy or gal saying this next year, three years from now, or a decade from now. Learn the lessons now and apply them! Sometimes, the best way to get ahead of the game is by getting a mentor or trusted friend to help guide you.
Thankfully this podcast allows me to sit down and learn from countless mentors and business owners. The biggest lessons, however, are more about life than they are about business. You can tell that my guest today, George Cowart has put a lot of thought into how he lives his life and runs his business.
Learning from his father and forced to take over at a young age, George had to implement life’s lessons early. Georges’ advice is well thought out and spot on. You can also hear his passion for people and relationships when he speaks. There is truly so much we can all learn from this man. Hop into today’s episode as we explore mourning and getting over a loss, facing the things that scare us, and trusting in God’s plan. You’re going to love this episode!

“TAKE CHANCES, MAKE MISTAKES. THAT’S HOW YOU GROW. PAIN NOURISHES YOUR COURAGE. YOU HAVE TO FAIL IN ORDER TO PRACTICE BEING BRAVE.”
Mary Tyler Moore
We talk a lot about taking chances, starting that company, and going for the dream on this podcast.
Whether it’s a business owner, a single mother, someone overcoming addiction in their lives, or simply someone who found something they love and do it every day, we’ve had great stories on this show.
Through it all my Executive Producer, Andrej Suttles has been a fly on the wall, listening and absorbing each and every conversation.
In his personal life, Andrej is more than a business owner and serial entrepreneur. He’s an empowerment coach and “Cheat Code” helping people monetize their dreams and unlock their potential. This passion of his has put him in the room with some major business owners, brands, and influential people.
Imagine if you could collect all that knowledge and give it to someone you love. Just so they can have a playbook on how to navigate these uncharted waters called life.
That’s exactly what Andrej did when he wrote the book “The ABCs Of Life: Empowering Yourself To Succeed.“
This short but impactful read was created with Andrej’s younger sister in mind but applies to anyone looking to recalibrate their growth in life. Each chapter reflects on a word that’s selected to match a particular letter of the alphabet. After a short reflection, there are questions and takeaways that make this book more of an interactive and therapeutic experience.
In today’s episode, Andrej and I discuss his inspiration for writing the book along with exploring the importance of everyone telling their story. He encourages listeners to analyze the pieces of their life and start putting them together to form a bigger picture. Andrej also gives tangible advice on how we can all develop a plan and overcome doubt in our endeavors.
You’re definitely going to leave this episode motivated and inspired to take that next step towards your potential!

BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO LIVE THE LIFE OF YOUR DREAMS ACCORDING TO YOUR VISION AND PURPOSE INSTEAD OF THE EXPECTATIONS AND OPINIONS OF OTHERS.”
Roy T. Bennett
Do me a favor and imagine what your ideal life would look like.
What are you doing for a living? What do your mornings look like? How are you spending your time? Who are you spending that time with?
Now go one step further and compare that vision to the life you’re living now. How close are the two?
If you’re lucky, these two images are the same. If there is a stark difference between these two images, then we have some work to do.
Though it’s easy to get discouraged, overwhelmed, and intimidated by the task at hand, I want to empower you and let you know that you do have what it takes to craft the life you truly want. It’s waiting for you on the other side of hard work.
Don’t shy away from the challenges that lay before you because when you look back and dust yourself off, I’m sure you will smile, knowing that it was all worth it.
My guest today, Danielle Britt is the author of “Your Live. Your Career. Your Choice.” She is a living example of what it looks like to face challenges, overcome adversity and come out on the other end shining brighter than when she started. Her book is a journey of overcoming humble beginnings, enduring hard times, facing rejection, and building mental fortitude.
It was a true pleasure having Danielle on the podcast and I am excited to share our conversation with you today. You’re guaranteed to be left inspired and motivated by her story and what she has to say.

“STOP ALLOWING YOUR DAY-TO-DAY LIFE TO BE CLOUDED BY BUSY NOTHINGNESS.”
Steve Maraboli
Where we are in life is a result of the decisions we’ve made over the course of time.
In a year when so many intangibles and obstacles have been thrown our way, it’s easy to throw our hands up and relinquish any responsibility or control. I get it… This year is not your fault.
But what happens now is your responsibility.
Too many of us take what’s given to us day in and day out and never truly focus on the intention behind what we’re doing. This is a recurring theme that we cover on the podcast.
Imagine the life we can live when we’re more intentional in our daily actions and focused on the desired outcome. Yes, life will throw you A LOT of curveballs along the way, but if you keep swinging, you might just hit one of them out of the park.
The best way to hit that curveball is by tracking it as it comes in. But how can you tack something you typically can’t see coming? My guest today, Ty Washington, would tell you to track that curveball by listening. The clues are all around you. Sometimes you just need to be silent enough to listen.
Moving to South Carolina by way of Flint, Michigan, Ty has seen multiple perspectives throughout his life. This dual experience and diversified exposure has led to a very intuitive and insightful viewpoint.
Hop into today’s episode and listen as Ty and I discuss the importance of education, learning who you are, and planning for the future.
You’ll be sure to recalibrate the direction of your life after this one. Don’t forget to connect With Ty through the links below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twashington

“IN ORDER TO BE IRREPLACEABLE ONE MUST ALWAYS BE DIFFERENT.”
Coco Chanel
We all have a natural desire to fit in. At our very core, it’s almost instinctual.
When you think about our ancestors, rejection from the herd most likely meant death. Unfortunately, the repercussion of such a sentence is still felt today in our innate desire to be part of the crowd.
Ironically, we don’t only want to fit in, we also want to stand out. With these contradictory wants, how can we possibly satisfy the two?
I would argue that being part of the crowd is just an illusion of what we actually want.
Maybe the thing we truly want is to be accepted. This acceptance is often gained through confidence and embracement of one’s uniqueness. You need to work on your own recipe before serving it to others.
My guest today would explain it like this:
“YOUR FOOD SHOULD HAVE A VOICE”
John Malik
John Malik, is a restaurant consultant, writer, marketer, and restaurateur with over 25 years in the Food & Beverage industry. His culinary work has gained the attention of prestigious publications and organizations such as Food Network, Bon Appetit Magazine, Southern Living, Chile Pepper Magazine, and received a nomination from the James Beard Society for Best Chef in the Southeast.
A native of New Orleans, Johns journey started in college after breaking the news to his father that he didn’t want to study law. What would follow is a culinary journey that would take John to a number of restaurants through New Orleans, Charleston, SC and finally Greenville, SC as the owner of 33 Liberty.
John would find success in a competitive industry by asking himself each night what he can do tomorrow that he didn’t do today. A major shift in his career would come when he decided to no longer follow someone else’s formula and start being true to himself.
It’s a lesson we can all learn and adapt to the way we live our lives.
Hop into today’s episode and listen to the journey of creation, experimentation, and creativity behind the lives we live and the careers we pursue. There’s definitely a lot of great food talk to be had as well!

SHOW UP AUTHENTICALLY AND SYNERGY WILL MEET YOU THERE.”
Sanjo Jendayi
If you’re like most people. Coffee is one of the first things on your mind each morning. The aroma, the taste, and ahh yes, that caffeine fix!
I know a lot of you reading this know the ritual. It’s sacred and special. In fact, a lot of us would say:
“DON’T Y’ALL TO ME UNTIL I’VE HAD MY CUP OF COFFEE!”
What is it about this wonderful drink that brings everything together?
You don’t need to be a coffee lover to understand the impact it has on so many of us on a daily basis. Maybe that because at its core, coffee is here for you, the person that’s drinking it.
Imagine if businesses made us feel like that?
I’d argue that some of the best companies in the world have one thing in common. Their focus on their customers.
My guest today Cody Childers knows where his true focus is. It’s on you, the customer. As the founder of Synergy Coffee, Cody’s mission is to create space for relationships and unity through coffee.
What started out as an idea to fill a void, turned into a full-fledged specialty coffee catering company in Greenville, SC. It’s a journey that’s just getting started but has been born out of awareness, preparation, and a bit of risk. Hop into the origin story and learn how Cody made the decision to take his down payment for a house and use it to start his own company. We cover the true definition of fear, the focus being on the customer, and building a team of people who love their jobs.
You’ll want to sip on a nice hot cup of joe to this one.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU ARE… FROM THIS VERY MOMENT ON YOU CHOOSE THE DIRECTION OF YOUR LIFE.”
Toni Sorenson
A lot of us know what it feels like to be lost in life. We either try a whole bunch of things that have nothing to do with each other or we get paralyzed by the number of options in front of us.
What’s worse is once we find something we think we want to pursue, we land in a community of so many others well down the path that are capable of things we can only dream of doing. The gap seems wider than anything we could ever tackle.
How can we sift through the garbage and find something that we really want to pursue? Additionally, how can we stay confident and persistent once we’re well on our way and keep from getting discouraged? If I’m being honest, I don’t know the answers to either of those questions. The best way to find your direction is to just start walking. As for the whole getting discouraging thing? Well, I’m not sure if that goes away easily either.
My guest today is well on her way and is still learning as she goes. Just speaking with her for a few minutes, you can tell she’s a life long learner and will always look to improve herself and pour into those around her. Jinny Oh is the founder of WANDR, an award-winning product strategy and UX Design firm that’s worked with clients like WWF, Samsung, and The US Air Force.
Jinny will tell you that she has felt her fair share of imposter syndrome, uncertainty, and stress. For some of us, it’s just part of the process. As we grow and continue to step foot in those rooms, before you know it, we start to feel like we belong. Just be glad you were invited into the room in the first place!
Hop into today’s episode while Jinny and I discuss starting something that matters, taking care of your team, overcoming imposter syndrome, and leaning on consistency and hard work. I am so thankful Jinny took the time to join us on today’s episode. You won’t be disappointed!

“A DREAM DOES NOT BECOME REALITY THROUGH MAGIC; IT TAKES SWEAT, DETERMINATION, AND HARD WORK.”
Colin Powell
I know you’ve heard it before. The life you want to live will take more work than you think. But it’ll be worth it. Unfortunately, most people don’t take this advice seriously and get discouraged when reality sets in.
What was the last thing you tried that turned out to be a lot harder than you thought? Did you stick with it?
If your answer is yes, I hope the results were everything you’ve ever wanted. However, if the answer was no, I think we need to explore where things went wrong. Don’t get me wrong. It’s okay to change your mind and decide to spend your time on something more fulfilling or more aligned with your long term goals. Take caution though as you don’t want to spend your days dabbling and never actually developing a skill or expertise in one direct niche.
The juiciest fruits are typically out of reach from the masses. If you’re wanting to really enjoy the finer things in life, financial freedom, time flexibility, and a life by design, you’re going to have to do what most people aren’t willing to do. You’re going to have to work for it.
My guest today, Spencer Ramseur is the youngest guest we’ve had to date on the podcast and he has already put in the work. Starting in the insurance industry at the age of 19, Spencer would face rejection, stress, family struggles, and more on his road to growth. Let me be clear here. Spencer is just getting started! However, after years of knocking on doors, cold calling, and setbacks, he’s just reaching his stride.
Hop into today’s episode as Spencer and I discuss working two jobs while training in his craft, learning not to judge, putting in the hours, and seeking proper guidance. You’ll be inspired to lean in just a little bit more into your practice after listening to this one.

“POETRY … IS THE REVELATION OF A FEELING THAT THE POET BELIEVES TO BE INTERIOR AND PERSONAL WHICH THE READER RECOGNIZES AS HIS OWN.”
Salvatore Quasimodo
Many of us have experienced the beauty of art.
It could be a book, song, poem, or even a painting. For some reason we can’t explain, it just speaks to us. That’s what happens when the emotion within us is articulated through art.
We get an instant connection to it. It becomes a part of us and we wonder how the artist was able to capture what we were feeling so well.
Often times, it’s because that artist experienced the same emotion and spent the time to reflect, meditate, and unpack it into physical form. That’s what happened to my guest today, Moody Black. In his words, he was a young adolescent when he realized:
“POETRY CAN SPEAK TO ME“
Moody Black
When was the last time a craft, grabbed your heart?
I’m a firm believer that we all need an outlet for our emotions. Whether it be singing, an instrument, poetry, journaling, or simply meditating. If we never slow down and analyze the things that impact us each and every day, we’re bound to crash into a wall of emotion we didn’t see coming and can’t understand.
Some would call this “A Meltdown.”
Don’t let that happen to you. If art can tell us anything it’s that you are not the only one going through what you’re going through. That might not solve the issue, but there’s something powerful in us realizing that we’re not alone.
Hop into today’s episode and listen to Moody and I discuss wearing your passions on your sleeve, applying your unique skills in creative ways, and staying connected and relatable throughout your growth. You’ll learn so much more than how to be a poet of your own life in this one.

“THERE IS HOPE, EVEN WHEN YOUR BRAIN TELLS YOU THERE ISN’T.”
John Green
Sometimes our minds can be the biggest obstacle to our success. There are so many limiting beliefs, voices of self-doubt, and false fears to get over. Sometimes the noise is just too much.
Though it may feel like a prison at times, your head is not the problem. You simply haven’t unlocked the hidden potential within it yet. Once you figure out the switches and levers to your mindset, you’re suddenly in control. The doors are open and you’re suddenly free. Now, go get them!
My guest today, DerrickFreeland is a Motivational Speaker, Entrepreneur & Life Coach. He is determined to unlock the restraints of your mind and help you realize your potential.
It’s a passion born out of his own struggles recovering from a traumatic brain injury, suicide attempts, and failure. Talking to Derrick today he would say those were the best things that have ever happened to him.
Join Derrick and I as we discuss life making us go through things to find our purpose, unlearning to re-learn, and the reality that there is no impossible.
“YOUR MIND IS THE MOST POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS THING.”

“LET YOURSELF BE DRAWN BY THE STRONGER PULL OF THAT WHICH YOU TRULY LOVE.”
Rumi
Have you ever felt like one of those clowns at the circus? You know, the ones juggling a bunch of bowling pins as the crowd eggs on the ringmaster to throw more and more pins at them.
I can see it now. The clown is frantically trying to keep up with the pins being thrown at him while I sit there enjoying the entertainment, instigating the stressful situation further.
As we do our best to juggle the challenges of everyday life, I think we all owe that clown an apology. If only we knew karma would be so cruel!
Nowadays, we find it hard to truly excel in all aspects of our lives. One day we’re killing it at work but we come home to a disaster. Or perhaps we’re on top of the chores at home but work assignments are piling up and deadlines loom over our heads. No matter how you slice it, we always feel like we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul when it comes to balancing the overwhelming demands of life.
My guest today, Brionna Morse, knows exactly how you feel. Being a self-mastery mind coach, Brionna helps us get out of our own way and start connecting the dots of our lives. This helps us better understand the picture we’re creating and puts the power in our hands!
Being raised on a 75-acre farm in Idaho allowed Brionna to experience adventure and the great outdoors growing up. Always being active and connecting with others, she knew she wanted to do things a little differently when she completed her studies and obtained her Masters of Arts in Psychology at Phillips Graduate Institute.
Her work has brought her to Greenville South Carolina where Brionna now works with high achievers, helping them ditch self-sabotage and create happiness and freedom in their lives.
Join us today as we discuss overcoming the fear of success or failure, the difference between what we know and what we believe, and finally taking the time to slow down and listen to our hearts.
This episode is sure to leave a positive impact.

“TRUE HAPPINESS… IS NOT ATTAINED THROUGH SELF-GRATIFICATION, BUT THROUGH FIDELITY TO A WORTHY PURPOSE.”
Helen Keller
I had just finished up some new training on a program I never used before. The law firm was making some changes and as the new billing clerk, I had to learn how to input the attorneys billable hours. It was a long tedious and repetitive process that taught me how to type “preparation, dictation, review, and revision” with my eyes closed.
The lady who was training me was a little bit older and making small talk I simply asked; “So have you always wanted to be a paralegal?” Her answer would end up being the motivating factor that pushed me to never be complacent with where I was. She simply said:
“Oh no, I started working here after I graduated and after getting married and having kids, next thing I knew ten years went by”
At that moment, I realized how quickly we can fall into a rhythm of comfort and never get to the things we truly want to do in life. As life goes on and responsibilities pile on, we forget to make our happiness a priority!
Sometime’s we need to just slow down, let the noise settle, and listen to our heart for a change. My guest today, Daphne DeLoren, is a full-time mother, wife, meteorologist, speaker, podcaster, life coach, and believer. Daphne has a passion for people and a love for the Lord. You can say she’s come a long way from those lonely early mornings at 2 AM eating her pancake in the dark.
Like many of us, Daphne knows what it’s like to overcome failure and achieve success only to realize the result may not have been what we expected. Falling on faith, love, and purpose, Daphne found a way to pour into others and spread positivity in a world full of negative noise.
In a time where we are surrounded by the cloudiness of 2020, Daphne is the “Drop of Sunshine” we’ve all been asking for. Join us as we discuss the importance of learning through failure, paying attention to what we put our validation in, and having nothing to realize God was all you needed. You’re not going to want to miss this one!

“LIVE AS IF YOU WERE TO DIE TOMORROW. LEARN AS IF YOU WERE TO LIVE FOREVER.”
Mahatma Gandhi
There’s something that happens to us after we accept our diploma, certificate of approval, or certification in a specific field. We all get just a little bit taller, that confidence gets a tiny bit bigger, and that ego gets stroked just enough to make us feel fulfilled.
We’ve made it. We’ve completed your studies and are now ready to apply what we have learned.
Unfortunately, what so few of us realize at that moment is that the lessons are just beginning. School might be out but class is in session. Life has a whole curriculum of lessons we’ve yet to see.
This is true no matter what field of study or career you choose to be a part of. Even further, you can say these life-long lessons have a bit more weight to them when others have to deal with the consequences of your ignorance. That’s when it’s serious!
If you think about it, our lives impact so many more people than we know. If we fail to take responsibility for our environment, learn everything we can, and show up to each situation as our best selves, we offer the possibility of someone around us feeling the weight of our decisions.
As I type those words above, my mind thinks about my fiance, dog, future kids, my family, and close friends. The decisions I make on a daily basis will have either a negative or positive impact on their lives. FACT!
With that being understood, so few of us choose to take that responsibility a step further. I’d imagine my guest today Stephen Scrobe has a similar list as mine. However, that list gets a little bit longer each morning before he goes into work. As a husband, father, and deputy for the Greenville County Sheriffs Office, it’s safe to say his broad shoulders carry a heavy load.
What makes the load bearable is Stephens’s willingness and intent to show up each day as his best self. It means committing to a life of training, learning, and improvement. It’s about constantly keeping up with the world around us. If we don’t evolve and change, how can we take on life’s evolving lessons?
Being a beacon of hope, Stephen dedicates himself to law enforcement and the continued growth and development of his fellow officers. Through Knight’s Armor, Stephen helps provide physical training, mental health services, tactical training, and more to officers and agencies across the country. It’s all about improving the person to better handle the demands of their surroundings.
“KNIGHT’S ARMOR IS HERE TO GIVE OFFICERS THE CONFIDENCE TO BE BOTH THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD AND THE CALM IN THE STORM.”
Jump into today’s episode while Stephen and I discuss the importance of getting mentors in life, following through, re-inventing ourselves, and being and example for others.
You’re going to want to listen to this episode a couple of times!

“WITHOUT COMMITMENT YOU CANNOT HAVE DEPTH IN ANYTHING.”
Neil Strauss
Commitment is sometimes that missing link that could take us from competent to great. Think of that last thing you really committed yourself to.
Commitment is a whole different animal. It’s a refusal to quit and a determination for a specific outcome. Chances are the last thing you did commit yourself to was a success or near success.
Think of your spouse, job, kids. You’re committed to these things. Sure, you may not like your job, but you still go because you’re committed to the rewards that going to work provides.
Let’s take things a step further now and aim that commitment to a career, goal, or preferred outcome. I’m talking about having a laser focus on a specific craft or practice. If you’re truly committed to it, you’re likely fully invested and surrounded by it.
My guest today, Vincent D’Amato Jr. has been committed to his craft since the day I met him. Though both he and I no longer reside in New York, you can clearly see The City still flows within us.
Recently setting up shop on the west coast in LA, Vincent and I have come a long way from late NYC nights and him tearing up the stage of Webster Hall, one of NYC’s well-known Nightclub and Concert Venues.
In this episode, we dive into the hustle. We share thoughts, reflections, and insights on the journey. When you’re chasing something that goes deep, you will spend a lifetime unearthing its treasures.
Jump into the journey with Vincent and me as we chat about taking the jump now, playing to our strengths, and celebrating the small wins along the way.

THE BEST WAY TO FIND YOURSELF IS TO LOSE YOURSELF IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS.”
Mahatma Gandhi
What is it you’re really chasing in life?
I’ve pondered this question myself countless times both alone and with others. The theme always seems to be the same. We’re all looking to feel accepted and fulfilled in who we are and what we do.
Unfortunately, while chasing acceptance and fulfillment, we often fall into what’s called “The Rat Race.” We look for that next big job, fight for those promotions, purchase the big house and upgrade our lives continuously, waiting for that desperate feeling of completion.
We cry from our mountain top: “Do you love me now!?” Unfortunately, many of us rarely make it to our personal mountain top and for those that do, find the view to be a bit anticlimactic. Maybe that’s because we realize that it’s not the mountain top we wanted. It’s the feeling we thought it would give us that we long for.
“MANY MEN GO FISHING ALL OF THEIR
LIVES WITHOUT KNOWING THAT IT
IS NOT FISH THEY ARE AFTER.”Henry David Thoreau
What if there was a different way to discover your gifts and live a life of joy and fulfillment? Imagine for a second there was a way to feel loved and accepted right now regardless of your social or economic status. What if I told you it’s as easy as looking for someone to serve? My guest today, John Constantine, President & CEO of Arcpoint Labs has seen the mountain top both literally and figuratively. (This man is adventurous!) However, being the leader of a full-service national third-party provider/administrator of diagnostic testing is just the tip of Johns Iceberg.
It doesn’t take long to feel the caring and giving spirit that fills John’s heart and pushes him to pour into everyone around him. John is the type of person who looks at someone in need and says:
“LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO!”
John Constantine
For many of us, the concept of pouring into others to feel better about ourselves may seem counterintuitive. However, after listening to John for just a few moments, you’ll start to see the true meaning behind it all.
Loving and serving others is the best way to love and serve ourselves.
You see, it’s truly not about ourselves. It’s about leading a life of service for others and being to the world what Jesus was to them. As John sums it up…
“BE ME TO THEM”
Jesus
You’re going to want to listen to today’s episode with a pen and paper nearby. John beautifully shares his adventure of dropping out of college, working different jobs, meeting his wife, saying no to a dream offer, and deciding to live a life of service above all else.
I can honestly say, we need more people like John Constantine in this world.

“BECOMING NUMBER ONE IS EASIER THAN REMAINING NUMBER ONE.”
Bill Bradley
As I sit down to type these words, Baseball fans across the country are counting down to Opening Day 2020 near the end of July! (July 23rd, 2020 to be exact) The sport that once drew tens of thousands of live spectators and millions more digitally will now be played in silence…
What is it about sports that pull us in so much?
Maybe it’s the excitement of big plays and huge hits. Some might say it’s the competition and the new slate each season. Few may say it’s the commercials and halftime performances. (Eye Roll, haha)
I say it’s the Discipline.
No matter the sport, profession, or industry sports is a celebration of greatness. There’s nothing like watching the actualization of someone’s blood, sweat, years, and tears coming together in a single moment.
We’re drawn to sports because it’s transcending.
My guest today has that vision of transcendence and a drive for greatness. Marcus “Goose” Carson is a Fitness Model, Entrepreneur, and a man on a mission. If you catch Marcus doing his thing, don’t get in his way!
There’s power in awareness. Specifically the awareness that there’s always someone who wants your spot. Once you adopt and embrace that simple truth, you will leave complacency at the door.
Jump into today’s podcast to hear Marcus and I discuss where his drive and competitive nature comes from and how we can all win at this game of life. Spoiler Alert: You’re going to have to be HUNGRY! Be Sure To Connect With Marcus Below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marcus.g.carson

“TO BE YOURSELF IN A WORLD THAT IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MAKE YOU SOMETHING ELSE IS THE GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes, the hardest thing for us to be in life is ourselves.
It’s crazy when you think about it. Kids do such a great job of living unapologetically, being themselves in public, and making an environment their own. Somewhere along the way, we lose that sense of self and start to pay attention to what other people think. The unique treasures within us that once made us shine and stand out are now buried under the dirt of self-doubt, other people’s opinions, and limiting beliefs.
Luckily, those treasures aren’t completely lost. They’re still somewhere within us, encased in the shell of shame we’ve put it in. The hard part is many of us have buried it so deep that it will take some time for us to find that treasure again.
Well, there’s no better time to start digging than now…
Jas Rosales, Owner at Just Another Season Productions, LLC, is a diamond in the rough. She’d tell you to find your treasure by following the breadcrumbs and picking up the gems along the way. Moving from New York to South Carolina and transitioning from the world of Law to media production, Jas knows a lot about falling into a wide range of settings and adapting to the environment she finds herself in.
The secret though is staying true to yourself and sharing who you are regardless of where you find yourself. That’s the best way to start and grow relationships which in turn grows business.

“SUCCESS ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT GREATNESS. IT’S ABOUT CONSISTENCY. CONSISTENT HARD WORK LEADS TO SUCCESS. GREATNESS WILL COME.”
Dwayne Johnson
When I made the decision to start a podcast, I didn’t have any equipment, mics, cameras, or any idea what I was doing. As fate would have it, once I jumped, the parachute appeared.
Once I committed, my Executive Producer Andrej Suttles came into my life, my friend Matt Snipes let me use his amazing podcast set up, and we’ve been rolling all steam ahead ever since! If you would have told me what this podcast journey would look like when the first episode “No Rain… No Rainbows Podcast: Ep. 1 – Intro” dropped on August 1st, 2018, I wouldn’t have believed you.
Over the course of two years, Andrej and I have met some of the most amazing people, heard some of the most amazing stories, and learned some valuable lessons. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything.
With the one-hundredth episode rapidly approaching, I wanted to see how far this podcast could go. Before I could really do that though, I wanted to first see how far we’ve come. Today’s episode is just a snapshot of the topics we’ve covered on this show. There is truly a wealth of knowledge and value ready to be enjoyed in the first 99 episodes. With that being said, we don’t want it to be another two years before we give you 100 more. Help us create a second episode that will allow us to interact more with YOU, the listener, and the viewer.

AN OVER-INDULGENCE OF ANYTHING, EVEN SOMETHING AS PURE AS WATER, CAN INTOXICATE.”
Criss Jami
What are some good tips to overcoming addiction in our lives? If we are a slave to our habits, the first step would be to pay closer attention to the things we do on a daily basis.
Addiction can come in many forms. Whether it’s drugs, alcohol, pornography, social media, working out, pleasing others, taking risks, or a gambit of other things, none of us are immune.
You’ve likely heard it said before that the first step in curing addiction is realizing that there is one. Even further, the second step comes when we decide to no longer serve a specific master and choose a better one.
We will always fall onto our habits. The key is to add beneficial and productive habits that will serve us instead of rob us.
Doesn’t recovery sound a lot better when it’s put that way?
My guest today is one of the greatest guys I know and someone I truly look up to. David Murray‘s journey with addiction is never-ending and he’s ready to take others along with him.
“IF THIS CAN HELP JUST ONE PERSON TAKE A STEP TOWARDS RECOVERY, SHARING MY STORY IS WORTH IT.”
David Murray
Davey helps us debunk a popular perspective in this episode. What many perceive as weakness is actually the strongest thing you can do. Would you call a slave who overcomes his master weak or strong?
Join Davey and me as we discuss the terrible hold of addiction and the challenging obstacles we face on the road to recovery. This is one You really should hear.

“I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.”
Oprah Winfrey
Started from the bottom now we’re here!
It’s a phrase made popular by rapper Drake when his song “Started from the bottom” first dropped in 2013. The song glorifies the hustle, the drive and the work it takes to reap the benefits of success.
With so many people chanting the phrase and throwing their hands up in celebration, I couldn’t help but wonder. Where is here?
You see, most of us don’t know where we’re going so we just settle for where we are.
Finding that destination and overall vision can be hard. While some say you need to know where you’re going, I also argue that floating along through life while waiting to find your vision isn’t useful either. Sometimes we just need to take that next step in order to find out where our path actually leads.
I can honestly say, regardless of where you are, there is an opportunity to move up or improve your life. The doors are all around us. We just need to open them and do what it takes to get through!
My guest today, Marie “Granny” Witt, knows all about finding that next level. Starting from humble beginnings, Granny shares the challenges of walking 8-miles a day to school, taking every opportunity she could to grow, and using her creativity and smarts to get the jobs she wanted.
This is a true “No Rain… No Rainbows” story on work ethic, patience, and persistence. Take a listen as Mary “Granny” Witt takes us from childhood to retirement and all the challenges she’s faced along the way.
This will be just one of many topics I hope to unpack with Granny. I hope you appreciate the wisdom.

“You will never be entirely comfortable. This is the truth behind the champion – he is always fighting something. To do otherwise is to settle.”
Julien Smith
How do you want your life to look?
If you believe in something or really want something, you tend to fight for it, right? Unfortunately, a lot of us never fully get clear on our vision so we wander aimlessly, looking for a battle to fight.
Everything we do can either bring us closer or take us further away from our goals and the life we want to live. Ironically, it's the small choices we make that tend to have the biggest impact.
When was the last time you checked in on your trajectory?
Do you know where you're going or are you just coasting along?
These are the questions we should face and answer before we can truly know where we're going. Get clear on the vision. Focus on the vision. Fight for the vision.
My guest today, Joe Buckner is the founder of Beautifully Savage Boxing Studio, Coach, Speaker, and Community Leader. He knows exactly what he's after. Joe believes we need to fight for the life we want and show up as our best selves every day in order to do so.
It's no surprise he was able to transform his life and go from being a homeless ex-con to becoming a 6-figure earner and successful entrepreneur. His ambition and energy are sure to infect and "inspire you to aspire to be better." (His words!)
Hop into today's episode and join us as we discuss overcoming challenges, the importance of habit, knowing your worth, and staying humble. We cover a lot in this conversation. You might want to hear it more than once!

“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters”
Albert Einstein
How honest are you?
It’s a question we probably don’t think about often. Even further, I’m willing to bet your answer might not be in line with the truth.
That’s the funny thing about honesty… It’s hard to be truthful with others if we’re not first being truthful with ourselves.
Imagine just for a moment, the benefits of living in brutal honesty. Waking up each morning, washing down that “tough pill” with your morning coffee. What advances would you be able to make in your business, relationships, or life?
If you were to ask my guest today, he’d tell you honesty is the key.
Peter Kozodoy is the author of Honest to Greatness: How Today's Greatest Leaders Use Brutal Honesty to Achieve Massive Success, an Inc. 5000 serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and business coach. Brutal honesty is how Peter rolls.
Missing his opportunity to be an Olympic figure skater and attend Harvard University at the age of 18, Peter had to find a new grasp on life. This process would involve painful truths and self-reflection.
Brutal honesty would end up being the tool that allowed Peter and his business partner to build an Inc. 5000 marketing agency working with Fortune 500 companies, startups & Warren Buffett.
This simple principle, though not so easy, is what Peter applies in his coaching and leadership training to help business owners and entrepreneurs reach their maximum potential. Peter says it’s all about being honest with our community, others, and most importantly ourselves.
Take a listen as Peter and I unpack his adventure through business, life, writing the book, and more. We unpack the truth about honesty and get real on what it takes to be successful.
You’ll be surprised at just how dis-honest you might be…
P.S. My "Honesty Type" is Honest Challenger

"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun."
Mary Lou Cook
Let's talk about unlocking your creativity. Ask yourself this...
What is it that scares you the most?
Believe it or not, most people would say public speaking. It's an interesting fear considering there is little physical harm that can come about from doing it. (Compared to fear of heights which actually comes with a certain level of danger.)
Why are we so afraid to put ourselves out there?
Perhaps it's because public speaking, sharing our writing, or creative work, in general, is a truly vulnerable thing. We are literally sharing what's inside us and hoping that it's well-received. What's scarier than that!?
My guest today, Bryan Smith is a trial attorney, musician, writer, and creator of DreamPath Podcast. On his podcast, Bryan explores the artistic journeys of musicians, filmmakers, writers, painters, and creatives of all types. You can imagine the amount of vulnerability his guests share with their audience.
Bryan and I sat down to discuss how we could apply the skills of these creatives to the real world and push past our own limiting beliefs and unlock a life worth living. We all have creatives within us. It's just a matter of getting out of our own way.
Join Bryan and me as we discuss the origin of fear and why it's so hard to share our work with others. We also explore ways to find our voice as a creative, fully jump into our craft, and finding ways to discover our unique identity.
Whether you're a creative or not, there is a ton of value to gain from today's episode.

“FORMAL EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A LIVING; SELF-EDUCATION WILL MAKE YOU A FORTUNE.”
Jim Rohn There’s a difference between schooling and education. One teaches you how to fit into a system, follow instructions, and do as you’re told. The other teaches you how to be creative, innovative, and think for yourself.
Which one would you prefer to be? Even better, which one would you prefer to hire as a manager?
I’ll give you a minute to make up your mind…
Did you make it? Good!
If you’re reading this, I hope you picked thinking for yourself and being innovative.
Self-education is extremely important for anyone looking to get to the next level of their career or turn their side hustle/hobby into a stream of income. If you truly want to make a living at what you do or increase your income, you’re going to have to increase your skills.
My guest today is a sponge. Jon Shoer is the Experience Manager, Concept Development at The Walt Disney Company. He took a summer trip to LA, absorbed everything he could, and turned an opportunity into an exciting career. What started out as traveling the world filming and taking pictures of celebrities, natives in Haiti, bands, models, and more has turned into a full-time job with Disney.
I’ve known Jon since college. We had some great times together and have always dreamed big. I’m personally not surprised one bit by the amazing work he’s been able to create and can’t wait to see what he does next.
Hop into today’s episode and listen as we discuss the importance of self-education and teaching ourselves new skills. Jon shares some of his challenges as a photographer, mistakes made along the way, and key steps on how to take your craft from a hobby to a career.
You’ll be ready to pick up a camera after this one.

“SOME BEAUTIFUL PATHS CAN’T BE DISCOVERED WITHOUT GETTING LOST.”
Erol Ozan I think there’s is a trap that many of us fall into and never see coming.
We work hard through school, graduate with a degree, and if we’re lucky, land a job that pays the bills. Some of you may call this life. I call it a trap.
I call it a trap because it often locks us into an endless loop that requires more effort and little movement. We work to support a life we barely get to enjoy because of how much we work.
The worst is when you realize you’re stuck, and you don’t know how to get out. I think a lot of us can resonate with that feeling. Trust me, I’ve been there.
The things you enjoy doing don’t seem to make you much money so you do the things you have to do while sacrificing the things you love. Even further, because we never really commit ourselves to it, we never truly know if we’re missing out on something big. It’s exhausting!
The process of finding ourselves and finding our purpose is a long and frustrating journey. Sadly, it’s also why so many of us are hesitant to make that jump. It’s scary to jump into the unknown and blaze a new path. So we stay stuck in the loop of life, waking up and doing it all over again.
Here’s the question, though… What if the choice is made for us? What if things got so bad or got to a point where taking action and making a change is the only choice we have?
That’s what it took for me to make a change and It’s also what pushed today’s guest, Katie DePaola, to not only find her purpose but to help thousands of other women find theirs as well.
Going through treatment for Lyme Disease and losing her younger brother to an accidental overdose are just two examples of the countless challenges Katie had to overcome while building her company, Inner Glow Circle from nothing to a million-dollar business.
Her story of grit, tenacity, and persistence is sure to encourage our female and male listeners alike. You’ll hear her insights on how to pay attention to the breadcrumbs of your life while searching for your purpose, how to “glow through what you’re going through”(Love that), and how to find the abundance of miracles that are hidden all around us.
Katie also shares the perfect analogy of what it’s like to emerge from your storm when she recalls seeing her first ray of sunshine during her dark times:
“THERE WERE NONE AND THEN THERE WAS SO MANY.”
Katie DePaola, when referring to her rainbows. Hop into this truly “No Rain… No Rainbows” story as Katie takes us from when she felt like she was living someone else’s life to now gaining “Solidity of Self.” (a phrase she coins in this episode) You’re sure to be inspired.

“HOLD FAST TO DREAMS. FOR IF DREAMS DIE, LIFE IS A BROKEN-WINGED BIRD THAT CANNOT FLY.”
Langston Hughes They say it’s always darkest before the dawn, but they never specify how long that darkness will last.
If you’re like me, you’ve lost count of how many days this pandemic has impacted our lives. Though some states are slowly starting to reopen and ease up on restrictions, there are still a number of people dealing with the very real and very impactful Covid-19. Whether it’s a friend, family member, loved one, a colleague, or ourselves it’s safe to say we are in some way connected to someone who has felt the brunt of this outbreak. If the sickness itself hasn’t impacted you personally, you likely know someone who is feeling the financial strain this pandemic has put on the economy. No matter how you slice it, we’re all feeling the effects of the Coronavirus.
As we battle this invisible enemy, it’s easy to lose sight of hope.
I get it. Things have changed, routines are different, and we’re not sure if things will ever truly go back to “Normal.” However, there is still a lot of good around us and plenty to be hopeful for. Don’t just take my word for it. Today’s guest J. Hope Suis is the founder of Hope Boulevard which is a blog and website devoted to inspiration, motivation, and relationship advice. She encourages her readers to live their best lives now and offers insight and encouragement through her blogs and social media posts. (Sound familiar)
J. Hope also authored a book that was published in 2017 titled Mid-Life Joyride: Love in the Single Lane. She has been cited in online magazines worldwide and I was lucky enough to connect with her over email and share a conversation via Zoom.
Take a listen as J. Hope walks us through ways we can hold on to hope during times of fear and the steps we can take to fully grasp control of our lives.

“Identity cannot be found or fabricated but emerges from within when one has the courage to let go.”
Doug Cooper
Negative self-talk, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs are sure to suppress the true potential that lies within us all.
When we’re young we quickly learn what the environment around us deems acceptable. Instinctually we mold our identity into what we THINK this environment would want to see. As time goes on, we forget to explore a reason why.
When we do this, we are bound to fall into a life that is different than what we want. Notice I didn’t say worse. There are a lot of people working great jobs, making good money, wondering why they still don’t feel fulfilled.
It may be because fulfillment comes from within, not without.
My guest today, Dante Duval Barfield knows all about that pressure.
He is a licensed professional counselor based out of the city of Philadelphia. Dante's therapy background is based on diversity, identity, and trauma. Rather than pathologies our life experience, he explores how all of our identities and past intersect within the realms of mental health.
This is only the current chapter in a story that started with uncertainty and exploration. Growing up as an African American in Philadelphia, cue Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, attention to mental health was taboo, to say the least.
It’s a feeling I’m sure many of us can relate too. We get caught up in the aesthetics of who we think we’re supposed to be and forget to explore the things we actually like. Dante accurately observes a cycle we’ve all likely fallen into at some point in our lives when he says:
“I Was Hiding Who I Really Was.”
Dante Duval Barfield
The hard part about getting out of such a confined situation is the battle that happens within. Many of us get stuck, unable to hit that reset button, fearful of what’s waiting for us on the other side. This is where Dante also says we need to reframe our thinking.
“It’s not resetting. It’s Upgrading”
Dante Duval Barfield
I like the idea of upgrading who we are rather than the thought of starting over, don't you?
Instead of remaining paralyzed in the fear of starting over, what if we simply added to the foundation of who we’ve become so far? Just like the caterpillar secludes itself into darkness before emerging as a butterfly, you too are allowed to change.
Let’s call it; You 2.0
Dante takes us to therapy in this one, and I mean that in the best way possible. Hop into the episode and join us as we discuss letting go of our trauma, being fair when we compare ourselves to others, and fully embracing and being okay with who we are!

“A blind man's world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man's world by the limits of his knowledge: a great man's world by the limits of his vision.”
E. Paul Hovey
Let’s do an exercise here…
Close your eyes… (wait that won’t work.)
Okay, just imagine for a second, you can craft the life you want with no limits and no strings attached. No one will be hurt or negatively impacted by your desires.
What does that life look like? How big is your house? What car do you drive? How much money do you have in your bank account?
If the exercise worked on you like it did on me, chances are you limited yourself. Why just one house? Why just one car? Furthermore, if you didn’t mention an amount of money over a billion, you likely limited yourself even more.
Before you dismiss my conclusion as greed or gluttony, remember that I said your abundance will not take from anyone else. In fact, if you’re really concerned about the greater good, couldn’t you use that abundance to give back in a hugely generous way?
The world needs good people to be rich.
The point is, regardless of the life you have now, or the life you painted in the exercise above, it’s great the way it is, but you can do more.
Today’s guest, Amy Pecoraro has created a wonderful life around her. Born and raised in Williamston, SC, Amy's artistic nature, love of giving back, and passion for design would combine into her work as the owner and CEO of PECULIAR, LLC - a creative agency located in downtown Fountain Inn.
This wife, mother of three, and business owner knows that there is more out there for the taking and she is determined to discover just how much. She is a builder of family, community, business, and life, and is happy to help others create their unique stories as well.
It’s never too late to chase that purpose, that idea, or that passion that’s been eating at you for years. Now is the perfect time to claim your future and make it happen!
Hop into today's episode with Amy Pecoraro and get some amazing insight on being a spouse, a mother, a business owner, and most importantly a builder of your own life. This is a truly inspiring episode!

"An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head."
Emil Zatopek
It's amazing what perspective can do...
If two people under similar circumstances can have two different outcomes. Wouldn't it be safe to conclude that it's the person that's different, not the situation?
With that in mind, how do you want to emerge from your situation?
Identity is an interesting thing. We can spend years taking in our surroundings and reflect the things we think other people want to see. When we do that for too long, we forget who we actually are.
It's easy to validate who we are with what other people seem to value. But it's also dangerous. When we make things around us the definition of who we are, who do we become when those things are gone?
Today's guest, Adekunle Olusanya (AK for short) knows what it's like to transition from one identity to another. After the life of being an Athlete Student (Read that again), AK had to transition to life after college football.
Thankfully through mentorship and self-education, AK was able to move past a former identity and redefine himself finding a passion helping other Athlete Students (That's Intentional) find life after sports with NextPlay. They do a full needs assessment with each individual athletic program and provide students with a "Playbook" on increasing their career development and finding a fulfilling life after sports.
AK drops knowledge in this one!
Join us for today's episode while we discuss finding our identity, never getting caught "ball watching," learning to be vulnerable, and embracing love. Trust me when I say, we could have gone on and on. You will want to play this one a couple of times.

“Be willing to change because life won’t stay the same.”
Anonymous
When Emanuel Thomas and I sat down to record this podcast, Covid-19, Pandemic, and Outbreak were absent from headlines. The main concern that Tuesday afternoon early in the month of March was whether we'd continue to see rain all week or if sunshine would grace us and usher in an early Spring.
Little did either of us know that when this podcast would air, many people will be in the midst of the most uncertain and volatile time of their lives. Regardless of the environment that day, our focus was on adaptability.
Emanuel Thomas is a TEDx Speaker, Transformational Mindset Coach, Columnist, and the author of "The Power Of Thinking Inside The Box." When exploring the topic of today's podcast, Emanuel educated me on the concept of AQ.
If you're reading this, chances are you have a basic understanding of what IQ is and what it measures. I'm even willing to venture you've explored the meaning and importance of EQ at some point as well. These two terms respectively translate into Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient.
When it comes to growth and development, we typically focus on these two measurements and increasing them at some point in our lives. However, what if there was another variable to consider?
We're talking about your Adaptability Quotient. (AQ)
How good are you at adjusting to your environment? How aware are you of your current stress level?
These are the questions Emanuel and I pose when discussing AQ. One thing we knew for sure that early March afternoon is that life is going to happen. We will be tested and those challenges lurk right around the corner. How will you prepare for it?
Here we are being tested by a Pandemic that doesn't have an expiration date posted. How will we come out on the other side?
Take a listen to today's episode as Emanuel and I discuss the importance of going through it, documenting your movements, and accepting weakness as strength. In Emanuel's words;
"The peaks can't teach you what the valleys can."
We're all in the valley now. What are you learning?

“Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit.”
Napoleon Hill
At least 80% of America is under some form of "Stay-at-Home" order as of writing this. The impacts of such a stop in everyday life have already been felt in the economy and disrupted countless businesses while re-defining what we view as normal.
Through this pandemic, there has been many creative, innovative and unique ideas. The best within us is coming out and forcing it's way to the surface to help us stay afloat in these troubled waters. What is that saying?
"It's always darkest before the dawn."
While we sit in the dark together, I'd like to challenge everyone to find the light within themselves. While some see the gloom and doom, others see a chance and an opportunity to learn this lesson, take advantage of the opportunity and grow through this problem.
It all comes down to PERSPECTIVE.
My guest today is more than just a friend. Charles Russ has been a mentor, an adviser, and a brother to me for years now and helped me grow through some of my darkest days. When it comes to going through this Pandemic, I couldn't think of a better person to share space with, social distancing approved of course, and discuss the lessons and opportunities we can take while experiencing this first hand.
It's too late to prepare for a disaster. However, I hope that by listening to Charles' insight and perspective, you can acquire some strategies and tools to make it through this Pandemic and build a rainy day fund (pun intended) to weather the next storm in our lives.
And just like I am confident we will make it out of this situation, I am also certain we will see more storms to come. I hope we can build our resilience to make it through whatever life decides to throw at us next.

"The key to life is accepting challenges. Once someone stops doing this, he's dead."
Bette Davis
How do you adjust to the things you didn't plan for?
I'd say a lot of us are getting a forced lesson in grit, persistence, and creativity. Covid-19 has impacted countless businesses, jobs, and lives, making things extremely volatile in our economy. With all this uncertainty, the choices we make now are likely to shape our future more than we think.
While some see this and freak out, others do their best to absorb the information they have, assess what they can do, and make a decision. Which one are you?
Today's guest is used to volatility. Working his way up in the restaurant business from a dishwasher and barback, Chad Gangwer now runs three restaurants in Greenville, SC. If you know anything about the industry, you know it's extremely challenging, volatile, and taxing. Chad continues to take on the challenges and increase his skills every step of the way.
The latest challenge he faces is one that has caused possibly the biggest economic shock of our time. We're talking about Covid-19.
The Coronavirus has many people staying at home practicing social distancing. Because of this, restaurants and bars find themselves on the front lines of this blitzkrieg that is this pandemic. Like many of us, everyday Chad and his team need to make the call on what to do next given the current situation.
In a time of uncertainty, the best thing to do is rely on your work ethic, lean into the people you serve, and work on getting through it together. When all this is said and done, we'll hopefully be sharing the lessons we learn from this with others in the future.
Take a listen to today's episode as Chad and I explore moving up within the ranks of a company, challenges of running a restaurant, how to constantly improve on your craft, and how we can hopefully make it through this pandemic.
