This podcast has a very special meaning to me and I share my very recent & personal breast cancer diagnosis in the intro.

I implore everyone reading and listening to continue to inform yourself on how you can advocate for your own health.

Before you go to down any longevity enhancing road, it is quite important to check where you and your body are at first. This will avoid spending money on supplements and treatments that may not be necessary. NEOTES has the same philosophy. Diagnostics are a key pillar for optimising your health.

Mike Belkowski, Founder Biolight; The Insane Benefits of Red Light Therapy
If you consider your health to be part of your wealth or your "wellth," this is the podcast for you. , founder of , discusses the "insane" benefits of red light therapy. It really is not an overstatement! Once you start to understand how important light is to our body's natural circadian rhythm, it starts to make a lot of sense. In fact, I was quite suspicious when I read, years ago, how important sleep is to fat loss. I thought that sounded ridiculous. However, scientific research after scientific research continues to point to the importance of maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm. There are a series of important events, like domino's in our body. When we forsake one or more of these, the system gets off balance. Mike trained as a physical therapist and made an early pivot when he went into a private, cash based business. He found that the major insurance companies would not pay for some of the alternative therapies he was using and were really effective; such as dry needling. He did not want to be beholden to an "old" school medical ideology. I make it my mission to seek out and interview these types of revolutionaries, game changers and disruptors. It is of paramount importance to me that you are given the most up-to-date data on anything that will improve the quality and length of your life. Some of the topics we cover include: How lightbulbs are circadian wreckers The benefits of morning sunlight- with peer reviewed research! The difference between Red Light and Nir Infrared Light Mitochondrial disease and how red light helps repair the cells Why sunglasses might be bad for your health! The gut/brain axis and how treating your gut with red light has the side benefit of improving brain function! An overview of some of the biggest health benefits of red light therapy: Women's Health Sleep Gut & Brain health Oral health Fat/Weight Loss Inflammation Pain Skin- anti-aging! hell to the yes! Pet Health! (Biolight is launching a pet friendly red light therapy mat!) Significantly more This was both a fun and informative podcast that I really think will pay "dividends" to you and your health. Biolight has an entire page on its website dedicated to red light therapy research on key areas of the body. Mike also has his own podcast, , where he goes into detail on everything red light and our health! Also a must listen! The bottom line is that red light therapy is a pretty inexpensive (when you amortize the years of use and the reduction in health issues), convenient and non-invasive way to take charge of your own health and healing. At the end of the day, our health is our issue. We should do all we can to make sure this one body is treated well and it will in turn, treat us well. #holisticwealth is the way to live! **New Wealth Alchemist Course Launch Determine the Price of Your Dreams: How to achieve your financially vibrant retirement in 4 weeks; resulting in less vulnerability, uncertainty and anxiety about your future.

Nations start Stoic & die Epicurean, the science of no plan B, Nick Hanauer's pitchfork message & more women Plutocrats!
Hello Shot Callers and everyone else listening. Today's podcast is actually a Solocast! I take you on a slightly "random walk" from relaying some science around NOT always having a plan B, meandering into Stoic & Epicurean philosophy; unravelling the quote that nations start STOIC and die EPICUREAN(with context of course), continue on with the backstory of and his pitchfork/middle out economics theory; strongly advocating for a thriving middle class and END on my passionate new private membership: This is only 30 minutes long and will give you both a nice historical brief on topics that are of VITAL importance to those nations-especially America- who value democracy and economic prosperity. This isn't rhetoric, this is economics. Any thriving, successful nation since the beginning has had one critical element; A STRONG MIDDLE CLASS! Ignore this at your peril. How many extra haircuts can a billionaire get? How many more meals can a billionaire eat? How many refridgerators are billionaires buying? Quote from Nick Hanauer, "The US made plutocrats, not the other way around. A thriving middle class is the source of prosperity in capitalistic economies NOT a consequence of it." Thank you for listening to this podcast. It is my singular goal to exponentially increase female financial wealth and thus improve the well-being of the planet. I WANT MORE FEMALE PLUTOCRATS! (around the world) Plutocrat: a person whose power derives from their wealth. What is the Wealth Pack and why should you join? The Wealth Pack wants women to thrive in all aspects of their life and recognizes that we can't focus on all the big buckets of life in a vacuum. Strong mental health is necessary to tackle the other issues of your life. Strong financial health helps you to stick to your values and live your dreams. Strong physical help allows you to participate in an active life. Strong planetary health means we all thrive! I am building a platform & community that will help you thrive; It is a dynamic source for financial literacy & news as well as a support system for redefining and building wealth; inclusive of mental, physical and planetary well-being. Mind, body, wallet and planet are the top priorities. My goal is to reach 50,000 women in the next year. It is radical and it is achievable. I believe that what I am building will be revolutionary for women but also for the world. I believe we can find a more harmonious middle way. But, we need more women PLUTOCRATS! We need you to not just build wealth but to utilize your existing wealth in a way that will actually ensure our legacy is able to be enjoyed by our loved ones. *************************** Please rate and leave me feedback.

, CEO Soluna Computing; Disrupting Crypto Mining with Clean Energy Power! John and the Soluna team are creating green data centers that enable crypto currency's energy consumption to be a feature and NOT a bug! John recently spoke on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. to try to help legislators understand just how disruptive & important their clean energy, small footprint data centers can be. John had this to say; "The reality is that if we execute well, computing can be a catalyst for growth in clean energy — a crucial component to meeting our goals of pollution reduction AND rural job creation. And you in this room have the ability to shape policies that can encourage more sustainable cryptocurrency, deter bad actors and redefine our thinking regarding what grid infrastructure should look like." In our podcast, John explains his varied and profitable entrepreneurial background, how he has worked with a core team throughout much of his career and the very compelling economics behind creating "additionality" for the clean energy operators by putting these data centers on sight! Reducing curtailment, the lost clean energy that the grid cannot absorb, is a total game changer. $144 billion Private Equity and Venture Capital dollars has gone into the renewable energy sector in the first 5 months of 2022. That is up from $48 billion in the same period of 2021. Savvy Shot Caller listeners will understand how this will have a serious impact on the investment landscape for investors. It is my goal to scale global financial equality by giving you insight into the mega investment trends of the future. Despite the volatile stock and cryptocurrency markets, there is tremendous long term opportunity in both economies for patient and well diversified investors. Bonus: Soluna Computing is a wholly owned subsidiary of Soluna Holdings.

Cindy Stibbard, CEO-Divorce Redefined
02/13/2022
Cindy Stibbard, CEO-Divorce Redefined
, CEO of Divorce Redefined, is a professionally guided divorce and career transition coach; advocating for a BETTER divorce and BRIGHTER new future. |Podcast sponsored by | Cindy, like many successful entrepreneurs, started her business out of a void. Having struggled through her divorce on many different levels, Cindy decided to start a business that could help with pre-, during and post-divorce support, for the benefit of the entire family. Cindy discusses the four key segments where divorce will impact you; financially, legally, socially and emotionally. She also emphasizes that she is not pro-divorce but rather an advocate for healthy relationships. She helps people get "unstuck" when she recognizes behaviours that are not serving her clients. From The Shot Caller and The Wealth Alchemist perspectives, one of the biggest areas of vulnerabilities that shows up time and time again is the financial piece. She knows this piece well because it happened to her. It is an important part of our discussion; helping woman to be less vulnerable in marriage often means educating them on financial and investment topics. Cindy works with mostly women, but men are approximately 25% of her client base and she hopes that continues to increase. While divorce is not gender specific, nor is Cindy's professional support, it is very common for her to find women who are the most vulnerable. 90% of her female clients come to her without any bank account in their own name! Gray Divorce is on the rise. While studies show that the average age of divorce in the US is 30, the rate of people divorcing over 50 has doubled since 1990. ( found) Additionally, the did an article that said divorce over 50 is truly financially devestating, especially for women, whose standard of living drops on average by 45%. For men, it is a drop of around 21% after divorce over 50. Clearly, helping people to navigate these potential landmines and ideally avoid them, especially for women, is a smart thing to do. I believe this podcast will resonate for a wide range of people. Ultimately, both Cindy and I want to see more women empowered and in less vulnerable positions. Our podcast sponsor, , is specifically addressing the big challenges women face during peri-menopause and menopause from a skincare perspective. From their -I am a raving fan, to their and their spray for HOT FLASHES, Rochelle and team are making sure women in their 50's have skincare suited to their skin! Share this podcast with anyone you think could really benefit. Cindy is also kicking off a special series with called- “Divorce ReDefined: Changing the Experience of Divorce” On March 16th, yours truly, The Wealth Alchemist-Shannon Sagawe, will be a guest! ***************** For a more detailed write up on this podcast visit: If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly bulletin.

Nikolina Lauc- Using glycans to predict biological age, disease likelihood and the future of precision healthcare

Nikolina Lauc- Using glycans to predict biological age, disease likelihood and the future of precision healthcare
- CEO of , a precision health company that has the only biological age test that accurately measures your unique response to lifestyle change, explains to us the 30+ years of research that has helped them develop their unique blood test. | This episode is brought to you by , a well-aging company that is more than just skincare. It’s a movement affirming that beauty gets better with age. | This father and daughter duo are unlocking the human glycome for preventative health and longevity. Nikolina, however, did not become an entrepreneur with Glycanage. Nikolina has ONLY been an entrepreneur, starting as a teenager. Coming from a family of academics, she was hindered by dyslexia. Reading Richard Branson's biography was a breakthrough moment when she realised there was more than one way to be successful in life. Hearing Sir Richard's story of both struggle but passion was a huge influence in her decision to walk her own "entrepreneurial" path. Her father, , is a molecular scientist and on the forefront of advanced glycan science. Glycans play a vital role in keeping us healthy but are also involved in most major diseases. As we age, the balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory glycans in our body changes. She explains how glycans have a large influence on your unique biology and are regulated almost equally by our genes on one side and environment and lifestyle choices on the other. Nikolina has become a major advocate for educating women on the impact of peri-menopause as it is during this time that women see the greatest increase in biological age- up to 9 years. She discusses the current, unsatisfactory healthcare support for women in both peri-menopause and menopause. Nikolina explains the misleading HRT study that created a huge controversy around breast cancer risk. We also hear about her personal $250k investment into the firm, their venture capital fundraising efforts and the fact that GlycanAge is already at break-even financially! If you want a sneak peak into how glycans inform what diseases you may be at risk for, 7-10 years ahead of time, this is a podcast for you. If you want to learn, with more precision, what your personal disease risks may be, take one of their at-home blood tests. At the end of the podcast, I actually do a finger prick GlycanAge blood test live! Listen to the end to see how well I do. ***************** For a more detailed write up on this podcast visit: If you liked this podcast, please consider writing a review on Apple ITunes at Stay on top of the most insightful topics regarding Yourself, Your Wealth and Your Planet, by signing up for our monthly bulletin.

Shannon Falconer, CEO Because Animals- Worlds first cultivated Mouse cookie
What happens when you cross a cat rescuing microbiologist with another cat rescuing MBA student? You get a passionate and purposeful team who has set out remove animals from factory farming and the pet food supply chain by creating cultivated mouse meat! BOOM, we have That is what we call SHOT CALLERS! and co-founder bonded at a Toronto cat rescue organization and realized they had the skills and passion to help take animals out of the pet food industry supply chain. Shannon, having completed her post-doctoral fellow in microbiology and immunology at Stanford, realized she had the scientific knowledge to create cultivated meat for the pet food industry. It would be the first step in removing animals from our pet food supply chain. Because Animals has already launched their first non-cell based pet products; probiotics and treats for cats and dogs. In 2021, they also successfully raised over $3 million in venture capital from big name firms , , and many more. Their first limited edition cultivated "" is set to launch in 2022. In early 2022 they will launch their A round of venture capital fundraising to expand their test facility for larger production capability. From a health perspective, it makes a ton of sense to give cats a "native" diet, instead of the left-overs from an awful chemical process from animals they would NEVER normally eat in the wild. So many of you listening to this podcast will have a precious pet at home. You will want the very best for your fur baby. But how many of you know the origin of the pet food you are feeding Snoopy and Garfield? The answer is that most of us, including me, are oblivious. Not only does explain to us what "fallen animals" are in the entire food supply chain, but also how awful the condition of meat is in these "rendering" facilities. Shannon enlightens us some of the challenges behind "feeding" the cells they are growing. The common ingredient used is called "." This was obviously NOT a solution for them. These protein "media" are also very expensive. This was one of the first hurdles they needed to overcome. As a chemical biologist, she relied on her training to find a better, more ethical solution. They have made great progress, but it is a process that will continuously be refined and improved. As a business, Because Animals intends to be very price competitive with the premium and ultra-premium segment of the pet food industry. She tells us, by the way, that these two segments are the only current "growth" markets in the pet food industry. This is a comforting statistic as consumers, ie. pet parents, are becoming more discerning about what they feed their dogs and cats.
