Episode 10. The Hero Within (w/Bud Brutsman)

On the show today I welcome Bud Brutsman. For nearly the last 30 years, Bud’s been cranking out some of the industry’s most dynamic programs totaling almost 350 TV Shows!  From hit series like Overhaulin and Rides to mixed martial arts, King of the Cage and Shark Fights, Bud’s a high energy, type A personality with no signs of stopping! He’s also written 3 books on the Navy SEALs; plus created a special task force to rescue climbers on Mt. Everest and in Baja-there’s really no limits to what this guy can’t do. And it’s fitting because, Bud has a Hero component built into the fabric of his psyche. He’s not the loudest one in the room, but he’s the hardest working. And I love that in many ways, through his actions, he’s asking us all to find our “inner hero.” Let’s find out what makes this guy tick as Fully Alive gets the green light…right now!

About today's episode:

On the show today I welcome Nick Segal. Nick is by far one of the most courageous people I know. For over the past 30 years, Nick has been thriving in the competitive Los Angeles Real Estate world, building and selling two successful companies for millions of dollars. Now at the ripe, young age of 58, he’s a new Dad with a new purpose. As Nick begins transitioning out of Real Estate, his focus has shifted toward coaching and being a strategist for some of the biggest names & companies out there. Each person who has worked with him has taken the ride beyond their comfort zone into the freedom that lives beyond the walls of conformity. His new book “On Your Terms” creates an execution strategy that instills self-confidence and a pure belief that your goal is absolutely attainable. We’ll also dive into his new video series, “The Exchange” plus get current on creativity in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic. But rest assure, by the time we’re done, you’ll be feeling empowered, encouraged and hopefully inspired to create the life you’ve always dreamed of.

About: 

On the show today I welcome Erin Coscarelli. As a TV host and sports broadcaster, Erin has had the good fortune of interviewing some of the greatest athletes of our time and covering some of the most coveted sports events in history, including the last 5 Super Bowls for the NFL Network. Prior to the NFL, Erin worked as an anchor and reporter for NBC Sports in the Bay Area covering all the San Fran Pro Teams. Additionally, she’s worked as a sideline reporter for college football with Fox Sports, the Pac 12 Network, the Summer X-Games and the World Series of Poker for ESPN. But what I’m really curious about is how does she find her voice in the midst of an intense male-sporting culture? Has the treatment of women in these environments improved or has the “me-too” movement been muted? What are some of the challenges and hurdles she’s faced to overcome adversity? We’ll tackle all that and so much more as we go “Live with Erin Coscarelli”

Episode 2. Heartfelt Access & Innovation (w/Matthew Ostroff)

On the show today I welcome Matthew Ostroff. Imagine this: You’re seconds away from being the lead actor in a major motion picture. After years of hard work it all comes down to this moment. The phone rings, adrenaline pulses through your body and your Agent says: “They cancelled the film.” Obviously, it’s a call that actors hate to receive, but when it can alter the trajectory of your entire career, it can be devastating. My guest decided to take his destiny into his own hands and pivot into a completely new world of service and healthcare. After earning the “Outstanding Graduate Award” from Drexel University, Matthew became a lead clinician and an acute care nurse practitioner. He soon brought new techniques and innovation to the world of vascular access. From newborns to 90 years olds, these innovations are allowing advanced procedures once performed in the O.R. to now be achieved at bedside. Matthew has shared his vision for vascular access all throughout the US, Canada, Latin America, Europe and most recently Rome.
