020 - Dr. Neel Bulchandani - Holistic Chiropractor, Bodyworker and Movement Teacher 03/17/2025

020 - Dr. Neel Bulchandani - Holistic Chiropractor, Bodyworker and Movement Teacher This week, we have Dr. Neel Bulchandani on the show. Dr. Neel is a deep thinker and someone you can quickly get into a wonderful conversation with. His easy, free-flowing mind, paired with his creativity and passion for life, exudes throughout the episode. I was drawn to Dr. Neel and his work because of the airway. He focuses heavily on bodywork and movement practices as a holistic chiropractor, but he developed a system called integrative airway and feeding chiropractic. This has led him to see many children and adults who suffer from issues related to tethered oral tissues: feeding, airway, digestion, sleep, and TMJ issues. He shares numerous stories and experiences throughout the show. What stands out to me is his ability to connect the entire body and see a person holistically. He integrates mind, body, emotion, and spirituality into his craft. Notice how he examines energy and its purpose in both our external and internal world. Enjoy the show!

018 - Luke Williams - Atlanta Braves Major League Baseball Player This week we have Luke Williams, Major League Baseball player for the Atlanta Braves join the show. Luke was originally drafted out of high school to the Philadelphia Phillies and eventually debuted with them in 2021. Since then, he has made appearances with numerous teams, such as the Giants, Marlins and Dodgers. Luke and I had a brief stint together in San Francisco in the summer of 2022. One of my first memories of Luke was a hike in Cleveland, Ohio. He didn’t talk much, but he had a camera with him as I observed him observing. I noticed a calm presence and keen eye for nature. His awareness and depth of thought sparked my curiosity. We became friends and have stayed in touch ever since. The guy is a speedster on the diamond but a stoic in thought. We discussed flow state, maturity, and evolution of performance. Enjoy this discussion with the California native.

014 - Lewis Brinson - First-Round Draft Pick, MLB Baseball Player, Entrepreneur and Creator Welcome back to this week's episode with Lewis Brinson. The 2012 first-round draft pick by the Texas Rangers out of high school. Lewis was a highly touted prospect in high school before finding himself in the draft. He then carried that status to the Major Leagues when he debuted in June 2017. Eventually, he took his game overseas and played in Japan before finishing up in Mexico. I briefly interacted with Lewis a few years ago in California and instantly gravitated to his vibe. He has an enthusiasm about him that is hard not to appreciate. Fortunately, we reconnected this past winter and found time to converse. The recently retired ball player took his curiosity to entrepreneurship and creation. Whether his endeavors lead down the path of speaking or creating community, it's hard not to admire the life he brings to his craft. Lewis has traveled the world playing ball, experiencing pressures and circumstances that many athletes do not. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the path and listening to him describe awareness. His ability to articulate stories and scenarios that occurred in his career, making him who he is today, inspires anyone. Finding ourselves within our journey brings us closer to our voice. The most authentic version of who we are. I feel this conversation expressed that. One Love.

012 - Xavier Scruggs - Former MLB Player, Current MLB Broadcaster/Sports Analyst, Entrepreneur and Speaker Welcome back to another episode. This week's guest is Xavier Scruggs. Mr. Scruggs is a former Major League Baseball Player who turned his career into broadcasting and media content. His story is inspiring, as you learn to admire his connection to intuition. He is curious, open-minded, and well-articulated. Xavier peels into his path after sports and how he narrowed down his training to become a fluent speaker. His presence is engaging, and for these reasons, it's obvious he found early success following his playing days. Throughout the conversation, we dive into various topics around performing, exploration, and finding authenticity. Xavier has inspired me not only because of his achievements but also because of his faith, obedience, and values as a father. He maintains such clarity as he navigates the world, and I feel that this will be emphasized throughout the show. Enjoy getting to know this man, especially if you're into baseball. There is a high likelihood you will hear his voice regularly around the stadiums of America this summer.

010 - Alex Wood - 12-Year Major League Baseball Pitcher, MLB All-Star, and World Series Champion with the Los Angeles Dodgers In this episode, we bring the big lefty, Alex Wood. Alex is well thought out and observant of the world around him. Fortunately, I've been able to know him for a few years now, and considering guests for the show, Woody was a no-brainer. Alex has accumulated 12 Major League Baseball Seasons so far in his career and has been to three World Series, winning one of them with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. A Major League All-Star, we dive deep into the intentions behind discipline. He brings a tenacity and focus to his craft that is primarily credited to the mundane consistency of following the process. However, the articulation of breaking down experiences continuously stands out to me when speaking with him. It's hard to substitute experience under extreme pressure in any field, and Alex has had a front-row seat to some of the most intense environments created in sports. Alex has a soothing aura in those paramount moments as he attributes his success to the basic principles of focusing attention on daily work.

Teaching himself the ability to observe, learn and ask questions. His eventual wisdom molded him into a 15-year career in professional baseball.

002 - Jordan Schmaltz - First Round Draft Pick St. Louis Blues, Former NHL Player, Podcast Host with NHL Media On this episode of A Moment with Mart, I bring you Jordan Schmaltz. It was an electric show with Jswish 93.1 as we dove into many topics around sports, media, and life identities. I first met Jordan years ago when he played in the National Hockey League. He became a part of the early crowd and a staple in the Mt. Rushmore of professional hockey players I trained. Jordan has always been witty and intelligent, but what stands out is his unique ability to remain himself as he tries to find new opportunities. He's authentic, and his current awareness has brought him to the media world. He runs a variety of podcasts and has traveled the country this last year doing live shows. From comedic relief to hockey broadcasting, you will quickly discover that he has a range of depth.
