Chats with Clark
"I'm a mindset guy," I often tell people when describing what I want to talk about on my podcast. During a "Chats with Clark" episode, you will engage a conversation about mindsets and ideas that actually matter in the world. At the end of each episode, I hope that all of us are better than we were before thinking about the topics of that day.
My underlying theme is gratitude. "If you want to be happier, live more gratefully," I contend. Take a listen and find out why "Chats with Clark" will enrich your mind and your soul throughout each episode; the only regret will be not having done so sooner.
"Tenacious, indomitable, and glitter-like" are the three terms that a dear friend of Brianna Koehler "Bits of Bri" used to describe her, prior to her arrival on episode 81 of the Chats with Clark Podcast. Throughout this episode, Bri shares her mindsets that epitomize these attributes.
As someone devoted to bringing women together, used her YouTube channel to create a community of women who support and uplift each other, leading Bri to be penned the "first working mom on YouTube"!
As a mom of three, Bri commits herself to being fully present in everything that she does. Her focus is to live a life that is holistic and vibrant, and she has taken the approach of believing in that which God has put on her heart.
This approach is how she has made the difficult decisions in her life, including leaving her safe and steady job to do YouTube full-time, ending her marriage, and taking trips even solo to ensure growth and exposure in her life. "I may not take the most direct route," Bri contends, "But I'm going to get there one way or another."
Episode 81 with Bri Koehler is like being in a room with a disco ball that is shining its lights all around (hence Bri's ambition to be a human version of a disco ball). This episode will take you through the mindsets, stories, and approaches of someone who is influencing the lives of others and whose inner life ought to be heard. It's raw and vulnerable and will leave all of us feeling like buying the ticket, taking the trip, and working like mad to create the life that we envision, even if that means making the hard decisions.

"It's important to care about the details... Care about everything," Hayden Grove, the beloved Cleveland Jazz, rat-pack-style singer contends on episode 80 of Chats with Clark. Grove, who is a steadfast Clevelander, has been singing since he was a child, when his dad would rattle off songs for Hayden to sing.
Growing up in a household that adored music, Hayden had been surrounded by an appreciation for it. Through the years, he took lessons and found that his voice developed towards a sound of the idols before him: Sinatra, Armstrong, Bublé, his own father, and more.
After college, he erupted on the journalism scene, covering highlights of Cleveland sports, like the Cavs championship season, Browns playoffs, and the then-Indians World Series battle. With such success and great opportunities early on, Hayden felt that he had done all he had wanted to do in the sports world and took a chance on himself, on the music.
While singing with local pianist Mike Patrone in Cleveland, Hayden started consistently posting social media videos of him singing. Each video seemed better than the next, and eventually, Hayden garnered the attention of Michael Bublé.
From there, the process expedited; Season 27 of "The Voice," singing alongside Bublé, himself, and now touring as an alter-ego of "Cleveland's Crooner."
Hayden's story is one that has tremendous experiences and very high highs. With them, Hayden openly discusses his bouts with mental health struggles. Hayden urges all of us to "Take our mental health the most seriously, but never to take ourselves too seriously." This passion for mental health wellbeing is near and dear to his heart, so Hayden commits great support and activism towards the realm.
Episode 80 of Chats with Clark will leave you stunned, as we take you behind the scenes of the thought processes of Team Adam's Hayden Grove and what has powered Hayden to reaching new heights in his singing career and beyond.
How does someone on stages in front of thousands overcome battles in his own brain? What does one do to stay grounded when hateful comments are thrown one's way? Where does God fit into all of this? And also, long live music.
In episode 80, we have you covered. Tune in and enjoy Hayden Grove. In the words of Bublé, "You're a beaut, Hayden"!

"I'm a homer," Chef Rocco Whalen contends to start off episode 79 of Chats with Clark! Born and raised in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, Rocco was always in the kitchen with his grandma and his mom, learning the ins and outs of making dishes that were both delicious and filling.
Moreover, Rocco learned the importance of sitting down for family dinners and chatting about anything and everything. So much so that Rocco is adamant that the world's problems would be better solved around the dinner table with a great meal and perhaps some good bourbon.
This recognition of the humanity of one another is what has allowed for Rocco to excel throughout his career and life. After his initial training under the beloved women in his life, Rocco studied and practiced under the great Wolfgang Puck out in Phoenix, Las Vegas, and the west coast.
At merely twenty-four-years-old, Rocco went all in on himself and opened Fahrenheit in the Tremont neighborhood back home in Cleveland. During the initial opening year of the restaurant, Rocco received praise from Gourmet magazine (and others) and began creating a significant name for himself around the city.
Instead of a cut-throat approach, Rocco believed in the value of collaboration, which is what compelled Chef Rocco Whalen to befriend and learn from Cleveland staple chef Michael Symon. Like advised by Wolfgang, Rocco furthered his name for himself by being a chef that visited the tables and ensured that his restaurant attendees were always satisfied.
Again, person-to-person connection is a value that Rocco has embodied from his youth.
Fahrenheit is thriving with Rocco at the helm because of the full-circle approach. Tune in to hear how Rocco Whalen is using all of the best ingredients both in his food and in the environment to create top notch experiences for all who enter.
Rocco is one of those people whose energy is felt when he is in the room. He's a mover. See for yourself in episode 79, and after you watch, you'll be on the phone with Fahrenheit for a reservation.

Tom Rini, founder of the gym Black Flag Athletics Strength & Conditioning, joins episode 78 of the Chats with Clark Podcast to share the mindsets that allow for him to excel as a gym owner and a leader.
As a member of the 2011 John Carroll University Athletic Hall of Fame, Tom exhibits a "Hall of Fame" mindset throughout his life. To earn this achievement, Tom displayed steadfast commitment to his craft, almost to an obsessive point.
In business, Tom shares with his employees that energy is infectious. "If we don't act like we want to be here [at the gym], why would anyone else?" This notion of showing up every day with passion and bringing enthusiasm into each aspect of life is Tom's philosophy.
Throughout the process, Tom has grown more in balance. He describes cleaning the toilets and wearing all of the hats when initially starting the business, but through trusted individuals in his corner, they encouraged him to delegate in order to take care of himself. Ultimately, that strive for balance is an ongoing quest and inherently difficult in collaboration with Tom's Hall of Fame mindset.
Tune in to episode 78 of Chats with Clark to hear stories of resilience, dynamic energy, and the belief that we all can achieve growth while striving for some sort of balance. Oh, and stay off of Instagram to actually make progress!

Making it to the NFL is an incredible feat, and making it to the NFL and recording your first interception against Tom Brady is a really incredible feat. For Jason Trusnik, these feats, among many others, are highlights of his underdog story and ability to outwork anyone.
Joining Chats with Clark for episode 77, Trusnik shares how he is "chasing you down" in any field that he enters (literally and figuratively). For Trusnik, falling prey to mediocrity is not an option, insofar that he can exhibit top notch attitude, effort, and preparation. Excelling in these areas are what allowed Jason to make the NFL as an undrafted free agent and to compete for years, while gaining and holding the respect of NFL legendary coaches and players alike.
Beyond the NFL, Jason has lived out a life mantra to "Be great today!" by opening a gym a Cleveland, OH suburb (Strongsville) called Pro Sports Performance, where he touts the nickname "The Gorilla" for his intense attributes and overt holistic strength. Through the gym, Trusnik has built a community of individuals that are striving to grow and compete with themselves each step of the way towards better versions of who they are.
More, Jason displays his football knowledge and experience as the head coach of the Strongsville High School football program, where he leads young men to be "respectful dawgs." To Trusnik, a respectful dawg is someone who is a dawg, someone who puts his all out there and is going to work like mad to leave a positive impact and achieve his goals. This dawg, though, is respectful, and is the type to treat people well, lift up others, and be an outstanding sport. For high school young men, these attributes are what Trusnik preaches will carry them well into their lives, beyond merely their football careers, and allow them to excel.
Tune in to episode 77 to hear about "The Gorilla," Jason Trusnik, who exhibits the characteristics needed to be great today and every day, making him the respectful dawg. Former NFL star and a leader in many communities, Trusnik has the mindset of continually making things better and growing; thus, anticipate nothing less for yourself in engaging with this episode.

"Accept the pain that comes with the beauty," Natalie Herbick inspires all of us in episode 76 of Chats with Clark. The renowned host of "New Day Cleveland" and staple anchor of Fox 8 News, Natalie joins the show to share the stories behind her mindset that is so focused on uplifting others.
Through her relationship with her mother, Herbick learned how to go through life with joy. Even in her mother's battle with cancer, Natalie notes that her mom always persevered with such grace. In early 2022, when Natalie received her own cancer diagnosis, she knew that she had a special guardian angel watching over her and also the strength to pull through. Throughout her own fight, Natalie used her platform to encourage others to have screenings done early and often to catch the dreadful disease. She believes that this connecting of the dots - the intertwining of her own experiences and helping others in their journeys - is where her true passion lies.
As someone who bleeds Cleveland and radiates goodness, Natalie spotlights local businesses on "New Day Cleveland" and provides them a platform to explain the great work that they are doing. Outside of the studio, Natalie walks-the-walk by supporting local restaurants and shops and really emphasizes the value in appreciating others.
"If you can be authentically yourself," Herbick contends, "then true goodness will continue to come to you." As she shares heartfelt moments that bring tears to eyes, Natalie provides insight into the mindsets behind her beloved presence on and off the air.
Tune in to episode 76 to be moved through the conversation and by whom Natalie Herbick is. Her energy is the type that we all want to embody and bring to others!

Jim Walter, renowned UFC manager and entrepreneur, joins episode 75 of Chats with Clark, which Jim notes as his first real public appearance since his life flipped upside down in July 2022. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Jim was founded on service to others and thinking about the ways in which he could improve the lives of people around him, crediting Saint Ignatius High School for this mentality.
On that day in July 2022, Jim's mom and grandma were brutally murdered by his brother. When the fight turned for Jim, he credits his background in jujitsu for Jim's ability to stay alive. Really, though, the fight kept going after that horrific day.
Each and every day, Jim aims to be consistent. From then on, Jim recognized all the more how precious time is. In his words, his advice to younger him would be to "smell the roses" more and to spend time on things that really matter (faith, community, service to others, friendship, love, connection).
With his life entirely changed, Jim worked to emerge as his best self. He never backed down and worked feverishly on growth. Prior to the tragedy, Jim was a UFC manager, which expanded past just the UFC; Jim managed the legendary careers of Stipe Miocic, Anthony "Lionheart" Smith, and even Myles Garrett, among many others.
Back on his feet, though admittedly never out of the waters from this horrible day, Jim strives now to empower women athletes with his representation group called BLOOM.
Jim's mom was a massive sports fan and always advocated for women in sports, and Jim sees this work at BLOOM as a great way to build his family legacy and uplift his mother's passion.
As one of the most humble, disciplined men, Jim Walter encourages all of us to live by one of the quotes that he reads each morning: "I love myself and the good things that are meant for me will come to me."
Tune in to episode 75 to hear Jim Walter's bone-chilling story and how he is using his story as means to develop and carry on his family legacy, while also inspiring female athletes throughout the world to keep chasing their dreams. Frankly, Jim inspires each and every person that he encounters; every person that knows Jim, loves Jim. He is THAT impressive.
This is one of those episodes that you won't stop thinking about and will definitely listen to more than once.

Episode 74 of the Chats with Clark Podcast welcomes Nick Stanoszek, the co-founder of VIO Med Spa and of Balance Modern Pilates. Stanoszek joins the show to dive into his mindsets behind being an entrepreneur, even though he would adamantly disagree with that term. To Nick, an entrepreneur is someone who pushes all of their chips in and risks it all; as someone wired the opposite, Nick refutes that he is entrepreneurial.
Nick's consistency and persistency are his two attributes that have driven his success. When he took the risk to leave his job as a consultant for EY to dive fully into VIO Med Spa and eventually Balance Modern Pilates, Nick shares that he knew he would be successful because he rolls up his sleeves and will work until he figures something out. Throughout the process, many people doubted Stanoszek (which is probable when one aspires to do anything), and that motivated Stanoszek all the more to develop what he needed. In essence, Nick embodies the "watch me" mindset, proving to others that his grit and determination would outweigh the obstacles thrown his way.
To that end, Nick encourages all of us to overcome obstacles and to work through the puzzle, placing aside any excuses that cloud our minds and productivity. And, importantly, when the success comes from the result of the hard work, remain humble and be good to others. Nick prides himself on those values and shares heartfelt stories as to why.
Tune in to episode 74 to hear the mindsets, thought processes, and habits that allowed Nick and his brother Joe to develop the largest franchised med spa in the country and why the latest endeavor of Balance Pilates has been off to a roaring start. Find out why Nick implores everyone to value their family and friends over business, and why business is best done "on a handshake"!

Recently starring in Netflix's Season 10 of Love Is Blind, Ashley Carpenter leaves the altar to join us on episode 73 of the Chats with Clark Podcast. Of course, the obvious question was contemplated. Is love really blind?
Experiencing a dating "experiment" (as called on the show) that is rapid and intentionally expedited, Ashley worked to balance her reserved nature while also desiring in-depth connection. As someone who values asking the tough questions, Ashley thanks her father and family dynamic for raising her in ways that real truth is valued.
Finding the balance between setting boundaries between being outgoing and bold and also that reserved nature has been a recent toil for Ashley. Nodding to the show for aiding in this realization, Ashley walked away from "Love Is Blind" with newfound appreciation for really establishing non-negotiables and never deviating from them.
To that end, Ashley yearns now for "the cozy fireplace" versus the fireworks and butterflies. Having gone through Season 10, her advice to all of us is to be authentically ourselves (allowing for true depth of connection), to ask the tough questions right away in each situation (saving us time), and to remain steadfast with our non-negotiable aspects or values in someone else and ourselves.
Tune in to episode 73 to hear the ways in which love really is blind and perhaps how it is not, the mindsets that Ashley takes into her updated life after the show, and why all of us will be having the difficult conversations we've been putting off after this episode.

When we talk to our dogs, we use a specific playful, simplified tone that reflects the relationship that we have with our dogs. The etiquette of talking to our dogs unveils deeper truths about the ways in which etiquette is intertwined in all facets of life.
Have you ever seen someone wearing a hoodie at the beach, or how about those who choose to miserably wear closed tennis shoes? These images stand out as ineffective practices that also break etiquette (in this case, of going to the beach).
Surely, we all have the creative freedom to do that which we please; however, the etiquettes are rooted in effectiveness. Talking plainly to our dogs or wearing hoodies to the beach are less effective than the playful linguistics or some flip flop of sort, and so on.
Tune in to episode 71 of Chats with Clark for a dive into the etiquettes in our lives, how they coincide with first impressions, and ways in which we can add our personal flair into each situation, while adhering to etiquettes, to perform at our best.

Forming in 2009 and continually emerging on the scene as a beloved, epic synth pop band, Recess joins episode 70 of Chats with Clark! Led by singer Vincent Fondale and accompanied by trusted musicians Alex Razzy and Anthony Fondale, the band focuses on making their music an experience. From the start of a song to the end of it, from beginning to end of a show, their goal is to engage with the audience in a way that is both cinematic and meaningful.
This style has proven to be a great success for Recess, who recently "made it to Hollywood" and competed on the legendary American Idol show. For Vincent and the band, learning from the experts, some of the absolute best in the business (Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood), was a sheer privilege.
Of course, as with any creative endeavor, Recess is familiar with stones being cast their way. As such, they address criticism with grace and use it to catapult themselves forward. Finding their identity and sticking to it, while aiming to be relevant with musical trends, is their viable tactic.
Tune in to episode 70 to hear behind-the-scenes looks at what American Idol is like, an acoustic rendition of hit song "The Sound of Giving Up," stories of battling forward in adversity, and an ongoing commitment to one another as a band and their fans, to whom Recess adores. With tangible talent, Recess will leave you impressed and hopping over to your music platform to enjoy their music... but after you're done with this episode!

"Art is the soul of humanity," contends David Biro, a Cleveland large scale artist. As the founder of "Midnight Art Club," David believes that art should be an experience, because it draws people into the art and together.
Throughout Cleveland, David and his team have created exhibits that beautify the city, and he recently has taken his artwork down to Florida, where he builds and creates on the spot.
During our conversation, David makes strong recommendations for those who are looking to advance their lives. "Work three jobs, drink tons of coffee, and never quit."

A member of the Forbes Cleveland 30 Under 30 List, longly attracted to fashion, Meany offers stories that show his perseverance and commitment to making a lasting impact on a deeply-rooted industry.

In episode 52, we uncover our heroic potential by considering a reflective set of questions that pertain directly to being a hero. Heroes are essential to our lives. We begin by asking ourselves, "Who is my hero?"
What is it about this person or these people that makes them so heroic, and then, ultimately, how can I emulate the skills and traits that these people exhibit, so as to be heroic, myself?
What we will find is that heroes never back down from the greatest of challenges, the challenges that seem so insurmountable that many would crumble. Heroes defy their fear, stare it in the face, and then proceed with courage.
The world needs more heroes. Be a hero to someone else today!

As a society, we have shifted from a culture who asks questions to a people that "tells." Asking questions is a practice, something that we get better at doing the more that we do it. In essence, the more that we put to use the act of questioning, then the better our questions will be.
This is important, because good questions lead to deeper knowledge, deeper understandings, and better lives.
Take it from Einstein, who pleads with us to never stop questioning.
