EP380: Colleen McAvoy - Bullies Begone 08/06/2026

EP380: Colleen McAvoy - Bullies Begone "I hate injustice with a passion. And when it was happening to me, I thought — why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong? You start to wonder about your confidence, you start to wonder about your capabilities." — Colleen McAvoy Colleen McAvoy had a long, stable government career — until three narcissistic managers came in succession and changed everything. She started shaking. Her heart palpitated. She stopped sleeping. HR didn't help. The lawyer said it would take years. The organisation's own counselling service told her plainly: get out, this place has a bad reputation. So she left. What followed is a story about what comes after — and what you can build when you stop tolerating what's tearing you apart. Colleen's book Bullies Begone offers tools, strategies, and a genuine blueprint for anyone navigating harassment or discrimination at work, whether they choose to stay and fight or leave and rebuild. Raymond and Colleen cover the uncomfortable ground together: whether victims can unconsciously draw bullies toward them, why organisations often fail the people they're supposed to protect, and why walking away — far from giving up — can be the most powerful act of self-respect available. The workplace bullying conversation nobody wants to have. Worth every minute. Learn more and connect with Colleen McAvoy: Search "Bullies Begone by Colleen McAvoy" on Amazon to find the book.

EP379: Dr. Tommy Rhee - Stem Cell Therapy For Long Life And Healing 07/30/2026

EP379: Dr. Tommy Rhee - Stem Cell Therapy For Long Life And Healing "When you get to the age of 100 and 110 and still have that signal that's strong like we're at 20, we'll reach those older ages at an active state." — Dr. Tommy Rhee Here is a genuinely new idea, explained clearly by someone who has lived at the intersection of elite sport and cutting-edge medicine for decades. Dr. Tommy Rhee — chiropractor, former practitioner for UCLA Athletics and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers — has developed a topical cream that delivers the active signals of stem cell therapy directly through the skin. No needles. No clinic visit. Just the molecules your body needs to tell its own tissue to wake up and repair itself. The science, as Dr. Rhee explains it, comes down to signalling. Stem cells don't become new tissue — they secrete tiny molecules that carry the message to regenerate. As we age, that signal weakens. What Dr. Rhee has done is capture the signal without the live cell, making a molecule small enough to penetrate all three layers of skin and reach the target tissue directly. Thirty days of use, morning and evening, he says, produces results comparable to an injection — at a fraction of the cost, and available without a clinic visit. Raymond and Dr. Rhee also look ahead to where this is going: plant-based versions of the same signalling technology that could bring the price down further and put the product directly in the hands of anyone who wants it.

EP378: Dr. Stephen Bezruchka - Born Sick In The U.S.A. 07/23/2026

EP378: Dr. Stephen Bezruchka - Born Sick In The U.S.A. "Changing your mind is one of the best ways of discovering whether you still have one or not." Raymond Aaron has known Dr. Stephen Bezruchka since the first day of university — two students of mathematics and physics who went on to build entirely different lives, stayed close across sixty years and three time zones, and still have things to teach each other. This conversation is one of those moments. Bezruchka spent over thirty years as an emergency physician before devoting himself to a question that practice couldn't answer: why do some populations live long, healthy lives while others don't, regardless of what individuals do? What he found upended almost everything the standard health conversation assumes. The United States ranks 42nd in life expectancy by the most recent UN data — behind Cuba, Costa Rica, Chile, and dozens of others — while spending roughly as much on healthcare as every other country on earth combined. Bezruchka's research points to three factors that explain far more than diet, exercise, or medical access: the size of the gap between rich and poor, the strength of social bonds within a community, and what happens to a child in the first thousand days of life. His most recent book is Born Sick in the USA, published by Cambridge University Press. His previous book, Inequality Kills Us All, is available as a free download.

EP377: Kira Hartley Klinger - Journey Of A Single Mom In Business 07/16/2026

EP377: Kira Hartley Klinger - Journey Of A Single Mom In Business "The world is one big giant oyster, and there's so many different ways to make a dollar, and if you're motivated, it can be made out of just about anything." — Kira Hartley Klinger Kira Hartley Klinger was 40 years old, newly divorced, with a teenager at home, no college degree, and a patchwork of side hustles behind her: cleaning houses, writing resumes, running a paper route with her boys. What she did have was five years of experience selling on eBay, a willingness to buy what nobody else wanted, and an instinct for finding treasure in the boxes at the back of auction lots. She fell into vintage fabric entirely by accident — buying it cheap because it was there, then discovering customers in Japan and Australia who kept coming back for more. She taught herself to date a piece of fabric by its width and fiber content. She opened an Etsy shop. She started writing little essays on her listing pages about the characters she met at auctions, and customers began writing back: you need to write the book. So she did. Twice. And those books led to speaking at quilting guilds, podcast guesting, and a California TV producer who signed her because she believed in the story. At 55, Kira became debt-free for the first time in her adult life. Raymond Aaron talks with her about the wiggly path — the one you can only see clearly by looking backward — and what it means to follow what the world is quietly offering you.

EP376: Ray Hartjen - Storytelling 07/09/2026

EP376: Ray Hartjen - Storytelling Storytelling "I want to use today up. I mean, I want to honor them, the people who didn't receive the gift. I want to honor the day, and I want to honor myself by making the most of it." — Ray Hartjen Ray Hartjen was 55 when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma — an incurable but treatable blood cancer. His first instinct was to attack it physically: train harder, eat cleaner, beat the transplant timeline. Ten days in, sitting exhausted at a restaurant with his family, he realized he had pushed one instrument all the way up and let the rest of the band go quiet. The physical was everything; the mental, emotional, and spiritual had been left behind. What followed was a simple exercise: draw a line, mark your birth on the left, your death on the right, and place an honest tick mark where you actually are. For Ray, that moment cracked open a new way of seeing time, people, and purpose. In the seven years since, he has published six books, built a global community around multiple myeloma, and rebuilt his life around what matters most — family, friends, fun, fitness, education, and challenge. He also makes a warm, practical case that you are a better storyteller than you believe — and that your story is worth telling.

EP375: Rand Timmerman - A Spiritual Passage 07/02/2026

EP375: Rand Timmerman - A Spiritual Passage "We don't grow spiritually when everything's going good. When we're blind and we're wondering what the future is gonna — that's when we're in that pain, that emotional pain and anxiety. It's when we grow spiritually." Rand Timmerman grew up in poverty, survived Vietnam, built a 40-year legal career, fought alcoholism into his 60s, and got sober through AA. At 72, four years into his sobriety, he set out to hike the Appalachian Trail — 2,200 miles, 600 mountains, half a million feet of elevation change — alongside his grieving younger brother. What happened on that trail changed his understanding of God, of suffering, and of what it actually means to be grateful. He describes standing alone on a mountain above the Hudson River at daybreak, raptors circling, New York City just visible on the horizon, not a single sign of human life — and feeling, for the first time, that his higher power was as large as the universe itself. That expansion stayed with him. The following year, he went blind on Christmas Eve. He was alone in a home with alcohol in it for two months. He never once thought about a drink. Raymond presses Rand on the question most listeners will be asking: why does it seem to take so much pain to get there? Rand's answer is honest and oddly comforting. The hard times are not in the way. They are the way.

EP372: Timothy Ward - Muscle Is Magic After 55 06/11/2026

EP372: Timothy Ward - Muscle Is Magic After 55 “People lose their freedom as they age because they lose their fitness.” Ageing well is not simply about living longer—it’s about maintaining the strength, mobility, and energy needed to enjoy life. This episode explores why muscle is a critical component of longevity and how many people unknowingly accelerate muscle loss through poor nutrition and unbalanced exercise habits. The discussion highlights the importance of resistance training, cardiovascular fitness, proper recovery, and strategic nutrition as the foundation for healthy aging. Timothy Ward explains why muscle serves as the body’s “currency” for strength, metabolism, and overall wellness. He shares insights into how excessive cardio without proper nutritional support can contribute to muscle loss, why protein intake becomes increasingly important with age, and how resistance training helps maintain strong bones, healthy joints, and metabolic resilience. He also introduces his Fitness Quadrant framework for balancing exercise, nutrition, and recovery. Timothy Ward is a health and longevity coach, author of The GOAT Within, and founder of LifeStrong.

EP371: Austin Mao - TOGETHER From Longing to Belonging 06/04/2026

EP371: Austin Mao - TOGETHER From Longing to Belonging “All I wanted to do was just save my mom.” Human beings are wired for connection, yet many people spend their lives feeling isolated, unseen, or disconnected from themselves and others. Real belonging begins when people feel safe enough to be vulnerable, ask for support, and embrace every part of who they are. The path from longing to belonging is often less about finding the right people and more about developing the courage to show up authentically and create meaningful relationships built on trust, compassion, and understanding. Austin Mao explores why connection is one of the most powerful forces in human life. Drawing from years of facilitating transformational experiences, he shares stories of people who discovered deeper self-acceptance, healed emotional wounds, and built stronger relationships by learning to turn toward difficult emotions rather than away from them. Austin explains how asking for help, extending compassion to ourselves, and creating spaces where people feel truly seen can unlock profound personal growth and a renewed sense of belonging. Austin is the founder of Ceremonia and a transformational facilitator focused on helping people cultivate deeper connection with themselves and others. Through his work with hundreds of participants from diverse backgrounds, Austin has become known for creating environments where authentic relationships can form quickly and meaningful transformation can occur. He is also the author of the forthcoming book Together, which explores how people can move from loneliness and separation toward genuine belonging.

EP370: Dr. Cheryl Fraser - Buddha’s Bedroom 05/28/2026

EP370: Dr. Cheryl Fraser - Buddha’s Bedroom “About 18 months in, according to research, that a lot of the thrill starts to fade a little and it turns into what I call marriage or relationship incorporated.” Long-term relationships don’t fail because people stop loving each other. They often fade because couples stop intentionally creating connection, excitement, and emotional closeness. Real happiness cannot depend entirely on another person. Strong relationships are built through communication, appreciation, sensual connection, and consistent effort. The episode explores how couples slowly drift into routines, how “relationship incorporated” replaces romance, and why intimacy, thrill, and sensuality must all be nurtured intentionally. Dr. Cheryl Fraser explains why the “soulmate myth” can quietly damage relationships by making people believe their partner is responsible for their happiness. Cheryl shares her “three keys to passion” framework: intimacy, thrill, and sensuality. She also discusses the emotional and physical importance of touch, affection, sexuality, and vulnerability, while emphasizing that couples can rebuild connection at any stage of life. Cheryl is a psychologist, Buddhist practitioner, relationship expert, speaker, and author of the book Buddha’s Bedroom. She is known for combining modern relationship psychology with Buddhist wisdom and has spent decades helping couples strengthen emotional and sensual connection through her teaching programs and workshops.

EP369: Yasi Amram - Spiritually Intelligent Leadership 05/21/2026

EP369: Yasi Amram - Spiritually Intelligent Leadership "Am I trying to do the right thing? Which has come from devotion to the truth and integrity, or am I trying to prove myself right, which comes from my ego?” Spiritual intelligence is less about beliefs and more about behavior. Purpose, humility, integrity, compassion, gratitude, and service only become meaningful when they are embodied in everyday life. True leadership is revealed in ordinary moments—during conflict, pressure, decision-making, and relationships. The episode explores the difference between having spiritual ideas and actually living them, while showing how ego, presence, and connection influence the way people lead both businesses and personal lives. Dr. Yasi Amram explains that spiritually intelligent leadership combines inner awareness with practical action. He shares insights from interviewing leaders across major spiritual traditions and explains how qualities like trust, purpose, mindfulness, and devotion appear universally across cultures. Yasi also reflects on his own awakening experiences, his background as a CEO, and why even highly successful leaders can excel in some dimensions of spiritual intelligence while struggling in others. Yasi is a licensed clinical psychologist, executive coach, entrepreneur, and researcher in the field of spiritual intelligence. He previously founded and led two companies through successful IPOs and has coached more than 100 CEOs. With degrees from MIT, Harvard, and a PhD focused on spiritual intelligence, Yasi is the author of Spiritually Intelligent Leadership.

EP368: Larry Kesslin - The Joy Molecule 05/14/2026

EP368: Larry Kesslin - The Joy Molecule “The more you’re attached to your identity, the further you are away from joy.” Joy is not something earned through money, status, or achievement. It’s something already within us that gets buried under identity, expectations, and the constant need for validation. Real fulfillment comes from reconnecting with who we truly are beneath our thoughts, labels, and conditioning. The episode explores how attachment to identity creates suffering, while presence, gratitude, meaningful relationships, and self-awareness bring people back to a more joyful and connected way of living. Larry Kesslin shares how years of entrepreneurial success still left him searching for something deeper. Experiences in Africa and Mexico challenged his assumptions about happiness, poverty, and purpose, ultimately reshaping the direction of his life and work. Larry explains how joy becomes easier when expectations are released, relationships deepen, and people begin living from awareness instead of reaction. Larry is a speaker, author, and conscious leadership coach focused on helping high achievers reconnect with meaning, purpose, and joy. After stepping away from a successful entrepreneurial career, he dedicated his work to building conscious community, guiding purpose-driven leaders, and creating spaces where people can connect through authenticity, service, and self-awareness.

EP367: Andrew Gauthier - From Disaster To Real Estate Multi-Millionaire 05/07/2026

EP367: Andrew Gauthier - From Disaster To Real Estate Multi-Millionaire “You could recover 1%. You could recover 100%. It’ll be based on how hard you work, how much you give towards this.” Success is often built long before the breakthrough arrives. Discipline, resilience, and the refusal to quit become the foundation that carries people through moments that would destroy most others. This episode explores what happens when life is stripped down to survival itself—and how purpose, gratitude, and relentless effort can rebuild a person from the ground up. It’s also a reminder that the simplest moments in life become extraordinary when viewed through the lens of survival and second chances. After surviving a catastrophic workplace accident involving a 10,000-pound pipe, Andrew Gauthier was left with severe head trauma, memory loss, PTSD symptoms, and uncertain odds of recovery. Doctors told him there were no guarantees, and that his future would depend on how hard he fought. Andrew pushed through rehabilitation, rebuilt his physical and cognitive abilities, completed a half marathon just nine months later, and eventually ran a full marathon while continuing to grow his real estate career and appreciation for life. Andrew is a Canadian real estate investor and developer who began investing at 21 years old while working physically demanding jobs as a marine welder across Canada. After building his portfolio through hard work and self-funded investing, his life changed following a near-fatal workplace accident. Today, Andrew speaks openly about resilience, recovery, mindset, gratitude, and rebuilding life after trauma.

EP366: Saul Bienenfeld – Defending Really Bad Guys 04/30/2026

EP366: Saul Bienenfeld – Defending Really Bad Guys “I’m not defending a person. I’m defending the U.S. Constitution.” Justice depends on more than verdicts. It requires a system where evidence is tested, rights are protected, and both sides are forced to meet a high standard. The strongest professionals often understand the game from multiple angles, and real expertise comes from knowing how outcomes are built, challenged, and changed. This episode explores why preparation, honesty, and due process matter most when the stakes are highest. Saul Bienenfeld explains why defending the accused is not about excusing wrongdoing, but protecting a legal right that belongs to everyone. A former Manhattan prosecutor with a reported 98% conviction rate, Saul later crossed into defense work using that same courtroom intensity to challenge prosecutions. He shares how innocent people can be falsely accused, why clients need blunt truth instead of false hope, and why his formula for mastery is simple: knowledge plus experience. Saul’s insider understanding of how cases are built now helps him dismantle weak ones. Saul is a veteran New York criminal defense attorney and former Assistant District Attorney who began his career in Manhattan’s Special Narcotics Bureau after graduating from Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. For more than two decades, he has represented clients in state and federal courts across New York City in matters ranging from possession charges to complex white-collar fraud. He is known for candor, sharp strategy, and fierce commitment to protecting rights under the law.

EP365: Tom Gegax - Get America Out Of Its Slump 04/23/2026

EP365: Tom Gegax - Get America Out Of Its Slump “We are human beings that are serving, rather than on a pedestal above everybody else” Business drifts into dysfunction when success is measured too narrowly. When profit becomes the dominant scoreboard, organizations begin to erode the very systems that sustain them—employee well-being, customer trust, and community impact. The deeper principle is balance: strong companies don’t just generate revenue, they operate with accountability across all stakeholders. Transparency becomes the corrective force. When leaders openly track not just financials, but how they treat people and contribute to society, they create pressure to lead with integrity instead of short-term gain. Tom Gegax builds on this by challenging the current shareholder-first model, pointing to declining employee happiness, reduced community giving, and widening pay gaps as evidence of systemic imbalance. Drawing from decades inside corporate leadership, he reframes the role of a CEO as one of service, not status. His solution is practical: five measurable standards—financial performance, community contribution, employee happiness, customer service, and compensation ratios. These metrics, if made visible, would force a shift back toward responsible leadership and long-term value creation. Tom is a former CEO who co-founded Tires Plus and scaled it to 150 stores and $200 million in sales before its sale to Bridgestone/Firestone. He is a best-selling author published by HarperCollins and Random House, founder of Gegax Advisors, and chairman of The Gramercy Fund and the Gegax Family Foundation. As a filmmaker, Tom produced Spark: A Systemic Racism Story and directed Confessions of a CEO, a documentary exploring the transformation from profit-driven leadership to purpose-driven impact.

EP364: Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson - One Move at a Time 04/16/2026

EP364: Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson - One Move at a Time “If you do good, good will follow you.” Success is rarely about making the perfect move—it’s about thinking before you act, staying patient under pressure, and focusing on what remains instead of what’s lost. The idea is simple but powerful: your first instinct is often wrong, and the best outcomes come from slowing down and thinking things through. Life, like chess, rewards those who plan ahead, adapt, and refuse to give up when things don’t go their way. Even after setbacks, progress is still possible if you stay focused on the long game. Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson shares how he uses chess to transform the lives of at-risk youth, teaching them discipline, patience, and strategic thinking. His philosophy—“brains before bullets”—turns decision-making into a life-saving skill. Through powerful stories, including a young man who went from facing serious charges to winning a state championship, Orrin shows how mindset shifts can completely redirect a life. His work has already impacted over 100,000 kids, with a mission to reach one million.

EP363: Dr. Agi Keramidas - 88 Actionable Insights For Life 04/09/2026

EP363: Dr. Agi Keramidas - 88 Actionable Insights For Life “What I did the first part, let's say, of my life doesn't mean that I have to do it in the second part of my life, especially when I have found something that really I'm drawn to, which is what I do.” Real change doesn’t begin with a plan—it begins with a feeling that something is missing. Many people reach a point where external success no longer satisfies them, and that discomfort becomes the signal for transformation. The process is rarely clean or predictable. It involves uncertainty, identity shifts, and periods of fear. But growth comes from learning to trust internal signals, taking consistent action, and developing practices that create clarity. Simple habits like reflection and stillness can sharpen awareness, helping people move from confusion to direction. Over time, progress is less about eliminating fear and more about recognizing it without letting it dictate decisions. Dr. Agi Keramidas shares how his transition from dentistry to coaching was guided by intuition rather than a rigid plan. He emphasizes that transformation requires patience and a willingness to face discomfort. Agi highlights meditation and journaling as foundational tools for building clarity and groundedness. He explains that even in meditation, distraction is normal—the key is noticing when the mind drifts. In coaching, his approach is highly personalized, helping individuals reconnect with what they truly want rather than reacting to fear. His work focuses on people who appear successful externally but feel unfulfilled internally. Agi is a coach, mentor, and host of the Personal Development Mastery podcast, ranked in the global top 1%. With a background in dentistry spanning over two decades, he transitioned into personal development to pursue deeper fulfillment and impact. He now helps individuals navigate life transitions, gain clarity, and take aligned action toward meaningful change.

EP362: Julie Condliffe - Unbreakable 04/02/2026

EP362: Julie Condliffe - Unbreakable “Once I sat down with myself and became quiet enough to be able to hear… the answer then comes from within which was then my internal guide, my internal compass.” Resilience is not built when life is easy—it’s forged in the moments when everything falls apart. True transformation begins with acceptance, followed by a conscious decision to reinterpret adversity as direction rather than defeat. Growth requires turning inward, quieting external noise, and trusting an internal compass. From there, a new vision forms—one rooted in perspective, purpose, and the willingness to keep moving forward. The journey itself becomes the reward when you learn to engage with it fully, rather than waiting for a final destination. Julie Condliffe shares a powerful story of rising from extreme hardship to professional success, only to face public scrutiny, legal challenges, and the loss of her career. Instead of staying in that darkness, Julie developed her ARISE framework—Acceptance, Redirection, Internal guidance, Sacred vision, and Enjoyment—to rebuild her life. Through writing her book Unbreakable and speaking globally, she now helps others navigate their own “messy middle” and reclaim their voice after setbacks. Julie is now a speaker, author, and mentor who guides professionals through personal and career reinvention. From eviction to global stages, and from legal battles to losing everything in the glare of public scrutiny, her life unfolded in extremes. But she rose again—not despite the pain, but because of it. Julie now creates spaces for people who have been cancelled, silenced, or broken by the very systems meant to protect them, helping them reclaim their voice and direction. Affectionately known as the Comeback Queen, she empowers women to step back into visibility with power, purpose, and protection—on their own terms.

EP361: Corbie Mitleid - Communicate with the Dead 03/26/2026

EP361: Corbie Mitleid - Communicate with the Dead “All I know is that I get my ego out of the way and I’m the tool that spirit uses.” There’s a deeper question beneath curiosity about the unknown: how much of life is truly visible, and how much operates beyond what we can explain? This conversation explores the idea that intuition, purpose, and connection may not be as rare as we think—but rather skills that are developed, refined, and expressed differently in each person. It challenges the belief that answers must come from outside, suggesting instead that clarity often comes from learning how to listen—whether to your instincts, your experiences, or something less tangible. Corbie Mitleid shares how her work evolved from a side interest into a full-time calling after a pivotal life moment. She emphasizes discipline, humility, and service over mysticism, explaining that her role is less about performance and more about helping people find meaning, direction, and closure. Corbie frames her abilities as both a natural inclination and a practiced skill, reinforcing that passion and consistency—not just talent—shape any successful path. Corbie is an intuitive counselor, speaker, and author who has been conducting readings since the 1970s. Known for her grounded and practical approach, she has worked with thousands of clients worldwide, blending storytelling, intuition, and real-world guidance to help people navigate life’s most personal questions.

EP358: Joan Johnston - The Customer Whisperer 03/05/2026

EP358: Joan Johnston - The Customer Whisperer “Listening isn’t just about hearing words. It’s about understanding the emotions behind the words.” Great service rarely comes from scripts or policies. It comes from simple human moments. When people feel seen, heard, and valued, something powerful happens—trust grows, relationships deepen, and even small interactions become memorable. The real opportunity often hides inside frustration. Complaints aren’t just problems to solve; they’re signals pointing to where connection and service can improve. The difference between an ordinary interaction and an extraordinary one is usually just attention, empathy, and a willingness to truly listen. Joan Johnson calls this becoming a “customer whisperer.” Drawing on more than five decades of leadership experience, she explains how listening carefully, responding with empathy, and noticing small details can transform everyday service moments. Joan also reframes complaints as valuable feedback—opportunities that reveal what customers truly need and how organizations can serve them better. Joan is an award-winning author, keynote speaker, and transformational coach with more than 50 years of experience in public service, including leadership roles with the Ontario government. Today she helps leaders build cultures of empathy, resilience, and exceptional service.

EP357: Deevo Tindall - Creating Your True Brand 02/26/2026

EP357: Deevo Tindall - Creating Your True Brand "No matter who you think you are… if the person you are supposed to be serving doesn’t feel the same way then there’s a disconnect.” Creating a true brand begins with self-awareness. Your brand isn’t your logo, your website, or your social feed—it’s how people experience you. Every touchpoint shapes perception, and perception shapes opportunity. When identity and messaging are aligned, business becomes magnetic instead of manufactured. True branding requires deep discovery, clarity of values, and intentional communication that connects across different audience layers. Deevo Tindall explains how storytelling evolved from photography into strategic brand architecture. He shares how entrepreneurs often struggle not with talent, but with translating their identity into language their market understands. From reengineering a real estate broker’s messaging to building a mobile IV clinic brand from scratch, Deevo shows how clear positioning can transform income and lifestyle. His core lesson: perception is reality—and alignment between identity and audience expectation is everything. Deevo Tindall is a brand architect, speaker, and host of the Branding Laboratory podcast. With over 15 years in corporate and entrepreneurial storytelling, he helps leaders stop performing and start building from identity. His work blends strategy, intuition, and empathy to create brands with purpose and soul.

EP356: Nkrumah Mensah - Anne Of Survivor 02/19/2026

EP356: Nkrumah Mensah - Anne Of Survivor “There are so many good stories that don’t get out there because the industry is difficult and people give up.” Freedom always sounds heroic—until you realize it costs something. Some people accept the life handed to them. Others feel the tension between loyalty and identity. This episode explores the story of what happens when a young woman refuses an arranged future that would elevate her family—but imprison her spirit. The story unfolds in a historical setting where walking away isn’t symbolic rebellion—it’s dangerous. Growth here isn’t fantasy empowerment. It’s conflict, consequence, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes the very thing you run from is part of who you are. Nkrumah Mensah shares how Anne Of Survivor evolved from a single idea into a seven-book series after young readers demanded more. What began as a story about escaping expectation became something deeper: identity, belonging, and the ripple effect of one bold decision. Nkrumah also reveals how her characters “talk back,” how dyslexia shaped her journey into storytelling, and why empowering even ten girls is success enough. Nkrumah is a novelist based in Greensboro, North Carolina. A commercial construction professional by day and writer by night, she comes from a long line of storytellers and is now bringing those voices to the page for the first time.

EP355: Albert Bramante - From Brain Deficient To PhD 02/12/2026

EP355: Albert Bramante - From Brain Deficient To PhD “One of the premises of my book is that we are all our own worst enemy staring ourselves in the mirror a lot of times. It’s not other people. It’s ourselves.” Self-doubt is often mistaken for weakness, but it is frequently a byproduct of growth. High achievers, performers, executives, and entrepreneurs alike can struggle with imposter syndrome—even at the height of success. The key is not eliminating the feeling entirely, but reframing it. By examining past achievements, challenging distorted internal narratives, and replacing generalizations with evidence, individuals can move beyond self-sabotage. Small psychological shifts can produce profound professional breakthroughs. When identity aligns with action, momentum follows. Albert Bramante shares how early medical and educational predictions placed severe limits on his future. Born premature and labeled unlikely to succeed academically, he transformed those expectations into fuel. After shifting from average performance to academic excellence, he eventually earned a doctorate and built a career coaching performers and executives. Albert emphasizes confronting “deletions, distortions, and generalizations” in thinking patterns. One client’s subtle shift in personal power led to major television roles, illustrating how internal transformation drives external results. Albert is the CEO of Bramante Artists, representing talent across Broadway, film, television, and commercial media. With over 20 years at the intersection of psychology, performance strategy, and higher education, he helps creatives and professionals break through fear and self-sabotage to unlock sustained, purpose-driven success.

EP354: G. Michael Hopf - Cries Of A Dying World 02/05/2026

EP354: G. Michael Hopf - Cries Of A Dying World "The value of things becomes zero when time is all you have left.” When systems fail, it isn’t technology that determines what happens next—it’s human behavior. Crisis strips away social norms and exposes how people respond to fear, scarcity, and uncertainty. Some move toward responsibility, others freeze, and some exploit the chaos. Preparedness, emotional regulation, and values become the difference between cooperation and collapse when order disappears. G. Michael Hopf explores these dynamics through apocalyptic fiction grounded in realism. Drawing from lived experience, he focuses less on destruction and more on why people act the way they do under pressure. From EMP-driven grid failure to extinction-level events, his stories examine panic, opportunism, leadership, and moral choice—especially the moment when one person’s action gives everyone else permission to cross a line. Michael is a Marine Corps combat veteran and USA Today bestselling author with over 40 novels published and more than two million books sold.

EP353: Dr. Elliot Justin - Sex and Heart Attacks 01/29/2026

EP353: Dr. Elliot Justin - Sex and Heart Attacks "This is not just some sex toy. We are using this device to challenge question.” As technology develops in the modern world, the medical sector has gotten more involved, leading to new, innovative strides at every turn. Smartphones, smart watches, and specialized rings have been created with the purpose to assist people in managing and keeping track of their health day-to-day, and each technological leap taken requires massive research and consideration. Cardiovascular health is a leading health concern in men's lives, and keeping track of the potential decline of heart health used to be inaccessible to most. But this all has just become infinitely easier. How does cardiovascular health affect men's sexual health? Dr. Elliot Justin, founder of Firm Tech Inc., an emergency room doctor, works alongside a team of people just as passionate as him about making changes to the way people can manage their healthcare. In this episode, he talks about one of his ideas put into action- a redesigned erection ring which documents information relevant to cardiovascular health, with the information easily accessible to any user through an app on a personal smartphone via Bluetooth. Join Dr. Elliot in the fascinating conversation, where he discusses what design changes have been made to transform what was once considered a sex toy into a viable healthcare tool, and how this device has changed the way 85,000+ men have handled their healthcare.

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?

EP351: Eric McHugh - Giant Improvement In Dating App 01/15/2026

EP351: Eric McHugh - Giant Improvement In Dating App “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 continued support after the introduction. Eric McHugh joins us to introduce Dataing, a ‘data driven’ dating app. Built to help move beyond swipe culture, profiles are generated and refined using real-world signals rather than self-promotion, allowing compatibility to surface naturally. Once two people connect, the app evolves into a relationship concierge. From suggesting dates to helping navigate moments of friction, Dataing is designed to support the relationship itself, unlike some dating apps that see the success of their app as a direct threat to profits. Eric is a serial entrepreneur focused on building tools that improve how people connect and live. Through Dataing and its concierge layer, CupidAI, his work centers on making deep, meaningful relationships more accessible—by designing technology that serves people, not attention metrics.
