EP352: Mario Lamarre - Real Estate At Sea
Respark Your Life
"It takes a long time to build these deep connections that people need to be successful in real estate.” Connection is as powerful of a tool to the real estate investment world as real estate itself. The network you build could be vital to your career successes, but maintaining connections takes time and effort, creating a large barrier to the accessibility of opportunities for those in an already demanding career. What can be done to help others and leave room for your own success in the process? In this exclusive interview with Mario Lamarre, the conversation dives deep...

EP351: Eric McHugh - Giant Improvement In Dating App
Respark Your Life
“After the match is made, it can switch from a relationship to a relationship butler.” Dating apps, like a lot of other technology can be harmful to people. Developers who put profit before people are apt to use algorithms, and now AI, to manipulate people into creating profits. The strongest relationships are built on real alignment, not endless choice or surface-level attraction. What if an app was designed to understand people deeply and adapt over time? It would increase the odds of meaningful connection. The core principle here is simple: fewer matches, better matches, and...

EP350: Jason Heffler - Turning Challenges Into Superpowers
Respark Your Life
“People with speech conditions can still live that life filled with all the other possibilities as others and they can still do amazing things.” Personal challenges often become the very training ground where confidence, resilience, and self-trust are forged. When something feels like a limitation, the instinct is to hide it or fight it. But growth happens when discomfort is faced directly—through repetition, exposure, and the decision to engage with life rather than retreat from it. What once felt like a weakness can become a source of empathy, clarity, and strength that shapes...

EP349: Jo-Anne Ross - Dementia - What To Do
Respark Your Life
“Every human being on this planet is unique… every dementia journey is unique as that person is.” Dementia rarely announces itself clearly. It shows up in small shifts—subtle memory gaps, emotional changes, and behaviors that don’t quite make sense yet. Families often respond with fear or urgency, trying to fix everything at once, while missing the few actions that actually make a difference. This episode focuses on recognizing early warning signs, avoiding common missteps, and responding with clarity instead of panic. Jo-Anne Ross brings firsthand experience from...

EP348: Dr. Dawson Church - Spiritual Intelligence For Tough Times
Respark Your Life
“Happiness radiates out of people… your change is the most potent contribution you can make to global change.” Hard times have a way of exposing what actually holds us together. When prices rise, headlines darken, and uncertainty becomes constant, willpower and positive thinking stop working. What matters then is whether you have an inner foundation that stays steady regardless of external pressure. This episode points to a different kind of strength—one that doesn’t numb you to reality, but keeps you calm, clear, and grounded while everything else feels unstable. ...

EP347: Peter Forcelli - The Whistleblower
Respark Your Life
“Leadership should be when something’s wrong, you speak up and try to fix it.” Integrity is tested when truth becomes inconvenient. Systems built to protect people can drift into protecting themselves instead, especially when reputation, authority, and career incentives override humility. Justice depends not just on rules, but on individuals willing to question outcomes, revisit evidence, and accept that errors—sometimes devastating ones—can occur. When accountability disappears, the cost is measured in ruined lives, lost trust, and irreversible consequences. Peter...

EP346: Rav Bains - Personal Transformational Leadership
Respark Your Life
“Either you have self-education or you’re not educated.” Personal transformation begins with the realization that technical skills alone cannot create a meaningful life or effective leadership. Real growth comes from learning how to navigate your own inner world—your thinking, your emotions, and the nervous system that drives your responses. When people learn to manage themselves, they become capable of leading others with clarity and compassion. Rav Bains brings this truth to life through his own journey from adversity to impact. Rav shows how deep self-work not only...

EP345: Barnet Bain - How To Be A Friend In An Unfriendly World
Respark Your Life
“If a friend doesn’t feel safe with you, you can forget the rest.” True friendship begins with seeing past our own filters. Most people walk through life inside invisible “bubbles”—patterns of conditioning, beliefs, and echo chambers that shape how we perceive others. These bubbles make the world feel smaller, narrower, and more divided, especially when they harden into judgment or fear. Breaking through them requires awareness: noticing when we collapse into assumptions, when we make others invisible, and when we protect ourselves instead of opening up. Friendship asks...

EP344: Dr. Alain Salas - Limiting Beliefs
Respark Your Life
“The good news is if we are programmed, we can be deprogrammed.” Limiting beliefs quietly shape how people think, react, and repeat patterns that no longer serve them. These mental programs often start in childhood and settle deep in the subconscious, influencing confidence, emotions, health, and relationships without being noticed. When these outdated patterns run the show, they create fear, hesitation, and recurring struggles that feel impossible to break through. Dr. Alain Salas explains how these beliefs form, how they keep people stuck, and how mind clearing can...

EP343: Shannon Russell - Start Your Second Act
Respark Your Life
“Ask yourself if you’re okay, if you’re happy with what you’re doing. And if you’re not and you’re thinking about something else, this is the time to allow yourself to explore it.” Many people reach a stage in life where their work looks successful on paper but feels empty inside. This episode explores the core principle that the “second act” isn’t a crisis—it’s a conscious shift toward meaning. Instead of pushing through burnout, you’re invited to pause, listen inward, and allow yourself to consider what a more fulfilling path might look like. Small...
info_outline“Ultimate power lies in becoming the co-creator of your life.”
Turning limiting beliefs into gold starts with recognizing that your biggest internal blocks are often the doorway to your greatest breakthroughs. When you understand how emotions, old stories, and subconscious patterns shape your choices, you can begin dissolving what no longer serves you and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Transformation isn’t about fixing what’s wrong—it’s about revealing the potential that’s been buried underneath life’s challenges.
