You've been dead too long. Welcome back to life. I've missed that smile! These words from Keith Schmidt‘s wife awaited him at the successful end of a 75-hour learning and life reset experience. Keith had repressed and suppressed so much trauma from his life and job that he was on autopilot, careening toward disaster in his marriage, fatherhood, relationships, and personal health. Despite a career in team-based public service organizations, Keith was utterly alone. He had isolated himself in his own suffering and had forgotten the power and necessity of brotherhood, feeling able to ask for and offer help, and choosing hard every day – not feeling victimized by life. There are no coincidences. Keith found the shock and rebirth he needed at just the right time. Now, in addition to continuing to serve his community, Keith shares his experiences to inspire others to their own fullest potential. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS A life of service The power of What If?

Daniel Mangena shares his approach for realizing the reality of our dreams and reprogramming ourselves for abundance. Daniel studied self-development with intentionality since a young age and found his way to millionaire status by 19 – but then lost it all, made it back, and lost it all again. Broke, riddled by severe social anxiety, and paralyzed by self-doubt, Daniel became depressed and suicidal. Fortunately, he couldn't even carry that plan to completion for fear of failure! At the age of 27, Daniel was diagnosed with Asperger's and soon realized the syndrome had actually prevented the suicide attempt and saved his life. In it, he has found his super power. And in his journey through extreme highs and lows, Daniel uncovered the secret to permanently maintaining a state of abundance after manifesting it. These days, Daniel lives a life of joy and freedom with his wife and children in Los Cabos, Mexico. He travels the world teaching alignment of mind, body, and spirit in actions, thoughts, and feelings.

After an extended holiday hiatus to fine tune the brand mission, message, and appearance, this episode kicks off “season 2” with renewed purpose, passion, and of course massive action! We cover the rename, what has changed, and what remains the same. A 2021 event failure has just put fuel on the fire for training toward 2022 BHAGs.

Traumas, dramas...we all have them and realize the importance of healing and growth so that we continually improve at home, at work, and out serving the world. But, HOW? That's what we get into with today's guest. In 2001, Scott Sunderland found himself lying in a hospital bed, unable to move any part of his body. In just three days, he went from a very capable, athletic man to living in a completely paralyzed, lifeless body, with a mind full of fear. All his life, he believed he was greater than just his body. He used that power throughout the next year, to teach himself how to literally walk out of that room, out of his fearful mind, and walk into a new life. Today, Scott strives to inspire, motivate, and empower people, just like he did himself. Instead of looking at themselves as victims, they realize they are the victor just waiting to be uncovered.

Nathaniel Carroll recently completed his one-millionth pushup (on March 2, 2021 and with his kids alongside) on his quest to break the world record for the most push-ups in a 12 month period. This 31 year record of 1,500,230 push-ups looks ready to fall by mid June as Nate averages 4,111 push-ups per day in pursuit. But, the record and notoriety are not what drive this Wisconsin father of three. He remains humbly focused on the mission it serves: to benefit and to honor the first responders who keep our communities safe and especially those and the families of those who have fallen in the line of duty. And at home, Nate stays focused on leading as a father, by example, with action, dedication, and consistency. These commitments live in his mind every waking moment, impacting every moment and every day until the mission is complete. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS Daily routine to average 4,111 pushups Mindset and microgoals Focus on the mission and gratitude Leading by example Adapting for adequate rest and recovery NATE CARROLL Nathaniel Carroll is no stranger to hard work, setting big goals, and serving a bigger mission. He was in the US Marine Corps Reserve, has been a social worker in the Wisconsin prison system for 20 years, and is an active dad with children ages 10, 11, and 13. In recent years he has completed two Ironman triathlons and numerous marathons and ultramarathons. But Nate doesn’t stop at the finish line. In 2019 Nate finished the Marine Corps Marathons plus did 3,142 pushups. In 2020, he tacked on 3,000 pushups to the JailBreak Marathon and 5,000 pushups to the Glacial Trail 50k. Also in 2020, adapting to quarantine, Nate ran 50 miles around his house to raise money for local law enforcement to buy COVID PPE. And this year’s quest for the world record of 1,500,230 pushups to benefit fallen first responders through the Tunnel 2 Towers foundation builds on his 1 million pushups in 2019 that was a demonstration of gratitude to the men and women of law enforcement organizations.

Chris Marhefka understands cultivating warrior energy and how real it is even if we can't see it or understand it. This week Chris kicks off our new year with a wake-up call to the fog of fear, the trap of comfort, and the lack of progress and fulfillment when not living on purpose.   From his work at Training Camp for the Soul, Chris shares practices and perspective to check in on your alignment in life, build new habits, tap into powerful inner energy, reach and maintain your full potential, and to cultivate intuition as a path to uncover and stay on purpose.   Have you ever watched the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team perform the Maori ceremonial war dance before a match? It's something powerful and really special. The energy of it gives me goosebumps every time. Here's a link...   The Greatest Haka Ever?   What if you could tap into that level of energy on demand...individually and even multiply it as a team? And what if you directed it toward your passions and unique purpose?   "There is a lot that we don’t understand as humans. One of the most powerful decisions that I made for myself was giving myself permission to not know everything."    -Chris Marhefka

Michael Bulloch Jr made a commitment on Jan 1, 2020 to complete 20 burpees…per day…each and every day of 2020 – all 366 off them. Little did anyone know what a crazy year it would turn out to be.

Either way, you push through and can rely on consistency and discipline as constants even in volatile and uncertain times. Along the way, Michael was supported, joined, and encouraged by kids and adults all over the world. He led and he learned. In this episode we talk wins, lessons, and what’s next in 2021. “This past year taught me to appreciate everything because life can change so quickly” – Michael Bulloch Jr
