In a world where we're constantly bombarded with information and distractions, it's easy to forget the value of a good conversation. 

But the truth is, human connection is essential to our well-being, and conversations are one of the most powerful ways to foster that connection. 

Whether it's a deep, meaningful exchange with a loved one or a casual chat with a stranger, conversations have the ability to inform, inspire, challenge, and comfort us. They help us learn about different perspectives, build relationships, and even solve problems. 

So in this podcast, we'll explore the importance of conversations and how we can have more meaningful and effective dialogues in our personal and professional lives. Join us as we discover the art of conversation and unlock its potential to transform ourselves and the world around us.

In this podcast episode, my guest and I explore the future of healthcare and why it must be people-driven. My guest suggests that our current healthcare system is not set up to support people, but rather to recruit patients. This is due to the lack of connection between consumerism and healthcare, which leads to a system that doesn't prioritize preventing or reducing the risk of chronic diseases.  My special guest is author and healthcare citizen scientist, Emily Gold Mears, who suggests that to make a change, it's up to individuals to learn how to advocate for their own healthcare choices...and this starts with taking simple and incremental steps towards optimizing health.  Emily shares her hard work to provide access to useful research and actionable behavior change strategies so you can take control of your health and work towards a healthier future.

Welcome to the journey of becoming tremendous. Are you looking to take control of your life and reach new heights? Then, developing a strong determination and direction is the key. In this podcast episode, my guest and I will dive into a conversation around having a clear goal, greater self awareness, and a determined mindset to help you in on your life's journey. Get ready to be inspired and empowered as you learn how to be tremendous through these essential life skills.

In today's episode, we will explore the topic of creating productive tension to facilitate positive personal change and peak performance. Do you ever feel stuck or like you're not reaching your full potential? Well, the good news is that tension can actually be a powerful motivator for growth and transformation. By learning how to channel your energy and focus towards a specific goal, you can achieve new levels of success and fulfillment. So, join us as we dive into the world of productive tension and discover how it can help you unlock your true potential!  Join me, along with my guest T. Falcon Napier, an internationally-recognized human development expert . . . and frankly one of the smartest guys on the planet relative to human dynamics.  This was a terrific and must watch/listen conversation.

My guest Nick Donofrio is a former IBM executive with great distinction.  But more, Nick epitomizes what most people look for in a mentor.  He is a sage... and one who chronicled his life and work as a leader in his book (w/Michael DeMarco) "If Nothing Changes, Nothing Changes."   Join me as Nick shares his wisdom that he accrued from a life well-lived--from his upbringing, as an Executive Vice-President at IBM, and his experience working closely with the late Steve Jobs.

"There is a very powerful practice and a capacity that I do see philosophy as particularly strong in. And that is making needed distinctions well, at the right time, in the right manner." (from https://platosacademy.org/gregory-b-sadler-dont-cheat-yourself/) 

For more than a decade, Greg Sadler has kept one foot in the worlds of traditional academia and the other in applying philosophy in public, professional, and practical contexts.

Ari Gunzburg is an award-winning speaker and personal growth coach who presents his popular keynote, Everyday Greatness, based on his award-winning book, “The Little Book Of Greatness.”   This book is a parable that teaches The 5 Keys To Greatness (Ari’s framework for Everyday Greatness) in a simple and memorable way.  Ari had an incredible and rather unique, but traumatic, experience as a child that was then followed by extreme volatility as a teenager.   But at some point, he chose to break those chains--the trauma--that often hold people back in life—and use them as guides and lessons for his own life. Now he uses these experiences, his story, the lessons as, not only motivators to propel him forward, but as life lessons to motivate other people to learn, change, grow and be triumphant in life.

Have you ever felt “depleted?”… like your “inner flame” is about to extinguish.  Experts believe that this feeling of exhaustion or depletion is your body's way of telling you that you have spent too much time doing what doesn't make sense for you. That’s what my guest and I will talk about in today’s episode.   Dr. Mary Sanders has over 25+ years of experience as a self-employed businesswoman and consultant … and a professional who has experienced burnout firsthand and crashed hard!   Now, she is committed to supporting women who want to transform the way they show up in this world and experience thriving health, happiness, and purpose, utilizing the tools of energy medicine, chiropractic, functional blood chemistry analysis, and positive psychology.

Dr. Kylie Burton, DC, CFMP, is an international best-seller with her book “Why are My Labs Normal?” She specializes in functional medicine helping thousands of individuals with seemingly impossible health struggles, find answers, healing, and hope, even if they've been told their blood work is normal.

As a rising star on TikTok, she’s accumulated nearly 50,000 followers in 16 weeks.

My guest is motivator, mentor, radio personality, and author, Ed Norwood. In his award-winning book, Ed intimates that "SINCE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN, there have been giants in your life; tyrants of immense size who try to exert negative influence over your destiny. These giants try to intimidate you into inaction and apathy. They want to convince you that your past mistakes, family tree, size, and shame will always hold you back. I, too, was born with giants. Please join us for an exceptional interview with a man, to whom 27 of his relatives were killed by Jim Jones at the Jonestown Massacre. His giants were beyond what most of us can even imagine. But Ed transcended this horror to eventually become a great man of faith, father, and the ultimate giant killer.

My guest is Danielle Cobo, an award-winning Career, Leadership, and Sales Performance Coach. She went from living out of clothes stored in trash bags to leading a team for a Fortune 500 company. But Danielle’s path to success wasn’t easy. Her life challenges started at the age of 2 when she was kidnapped by her mother; she only met her dad at age 15; then lost her mother to suicide. However, she has used these challenges as a source of strength. She has learned how to transform self-doubt into resilience, drive, motivation, & confidence.

My guest is LTC Ivan Ingraham (USMC, Ret).   Ivan is a retired Marine Special Operations Officer. He served a 24-year career in Marine Infantry, Reconnaissance, and Special Operations units often in crises or combat operations.  Leadership in any situation can be challenging at best.  However, leading on the front lines during war; well, that's a game-changer.   Imagine that you just get to think, problem-solve, and make decisions; no, not in a cushy office, but in utter chaos.  But it's more than that, the implications of your decisions could mean lives.  In this conversation, we talk about all things leadership--building trust, making decisions, problem-solving, and a lot more--from the perspective of a wartime leader.

My guest is Nancy Lane, a former executive leader who recently retired from a very distinguished 35-year career. She did so however with a yearning to learn more about herself, her purpose, God, and life in general. So she decided to embark on an amazing, but grueling adventure . . . to walk the great Camino de Santiago. This pilgrimage required her to walk 400 miles across Spain with only a backpack and her thoughts. Nancy said about this experience: "Distractions are replaced with a very unique focus . . . this rearranging or reprioritizing of one's daily rhythm, day after day, recalibrates the soul and provides a unique clarity.” Come join us in this adventurous and insightful conversation about becoming more of the person you were created to be.

My guest is international filmmaker Kathleen Herrgott. She writes and produces short films and also creates content for major brands such as the Nestlé corporation. Kathleen describes herself as someone who not only loves challenges, but someone who embraces them, learns from them, and then grows from them. She said this has been a critical part of her success; facing and using her challenges to push her to the next level in her career. But she has one more secret ingredient that makes up her success. Join us to find out what that is. ;)

Who doesn't want to be happy and confident? Deep down, we all do. We want to feel alive, loved and at peace with the world around us. But for many reasons, this isn't always the case. While all people struggle with these aspects of life, my guest feels that it’s more the case for women. And so, that’s the subject of my next "Grow Yourself" Podcast.

Now she is on a mission to help others rebuild their broken life. Join us in a conversation to learn how to turn your mess into success.

More, he will show you how to solve any problem by asking simple questions to explore problems, reveal the causes, and then present the solutions.
