Jeff received four degrees at MIT (Physics, Math, Mech E and Robotics). He hosted “Time Warp” on the Discovery Channel about the wonders of science, and made large-scale art for 15 years.   By external measures, he was incredibly successful. But inside, something was missing. This disconnect led him to a deep depression in high school, and chronic pain for almost 20 years after that.   Jeff learned quantum mechanics before learning about his emotions. He marvels at the fact that we can measure the external universe to 10-decimal accuracy, but most of us don't learn about our insides: our emotions, what leads to flourishing, how to take great care of ourselves. Years of personal exploration transformed him, leading to a determination to not have the road to joy be difficult for others to find.   He has spent the last 15 years training in meditation, personal development, and group dynamics for well being, facilitating high school students through a 3-week intensive and adults through an 18-month program. He speaks around the world on the topics of art, science, education, healing, and consciousness.

Shakiyla's Bio:   As the vice president of organizational culture, I am tasked with leading efforts to foster a culture that is spiritually grounded, reflective of a community of freedom, diverse and inclusive, organizationally agile, and growth-oriented. My work has both an internal aspect, with our wonderful staff, and an external component that connects with our partners. This is exciting to me as I have been exploring for myself and others how we build our individual and collective capacity to meet the life and societal demands of the 21st century, which require new ways of being, knowing, and acting.   I have an eclectic mix of training and experience that grounds me in my work to support personal and collective growth within and through relationship. I have a master's degree in public health from Emory University and a doctorate in adult education with a focus on organizational development from the University of Georgia. Prior to joining Fetzer, I have worked in the areas of violence prevention research, program development and evaluation, and research administration for more than 15 years both within academia and the federal government. I have a background in fundraising and intercultural education, having lived and worked in Southern Africa coordinating immersive study abroad programming. I also work with individuals and groups as an action researcher interested in the evolution of consciousness in adults, adult development, and adaptive and collaborative learning using the method of action inquiry. I am a trained yoga and meditation instructor, energy medicine (reiki) practitioner, and facilitator of deeper learning and transformation.   I am a proud tree hugger and enjoy being in nature and exploring new places and dimensions of myself. I love reading, writing, indoor roller skating (with four wheels), and dancing—the balance between action and reflection.   Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now.

Michael partners with his clients to choreograph powerful leadership development programs. A former national champion in Rock ‘n' Roll Acrobatic Dance, he is attuned to tensions between technique and creativity, between order and improvisation, and the critical importance of timing.   To help changemakers bring about the organizational and societal changes that they envision, Michael supports (and provokes) his clients to make leaps in their own development. Michael's experiential methods build from pedagogical training at the University of Marburg, where he obtained a Master's in Education, and at Georgetown University, where he obtained a Certificate in Leadership Coaching.   Michael has experienced first-hand the frustrations of generating change within multi-stakeholder systems. He founded bilingual K-12 charter schools and has a long list of his own leadership failures from attempting to generate changes in the German education system. He reflected deeply on these failures during his studies at Harvard for the Master's in Public Administration degree and zeroed in on the importance of leadership development in creating systems change.   He now has one focus: developing leadership. He co-teaches “Practicing Leadership Inside & Out” in the program “Doctor of Education Leadership” at Harvard Graduate School of Education, exploring the intersection between role, adult development, and systems change. He also founded the Adaptive Leadership Network to create holding environments for adaptive leaders and adaptive leadership educators to support and learn from one another.    As a gay man born into a Seventh Day Adventist family, Michael has explored ways in which identity shapes how leadership is exercised. He thinks often about distinctions between “role” and “self.” In Michael's case, this includes the questioning of assumptions he's developed as a first-generation university graduate from a post-industrial German town and as a first-generation immigrant to the US.

Avi's Bio: Hi I'm Avi, a multidisciplinary Wellness Coach helping people create change through functional breath-work and contrast therapy.   With a diverse background working in Fashion, Tech, and Anti-Aging Medicine, one major turning point in my career was my education in Health and Wellness. At a time where I was at a mental and physical low point - overweight, depressed, and suffering from addiction, I found the Wim Hof Method and adopted it as a daily practice. I formed habits of morning breath-work, cold submersion, and sauna usage, all of which helped me with weight-loss, sleep quality, addiction, and overall restoration of energy.   In this newly formed path, I became a Certified Wim Hof Instructor in 2018. In addition, I've dedicated my time to learning other breath modalities such as The Art of Breath, The Oxygen Advantage, and taking courses with Brian Mackenzie and XPT. I am continually looking to gain more knowledge and provide genuine support and love to all who attend my workshops. I aim to create a safe, harmonious space for everyone I teach. Coaching athletes, entrepreneurs, yogis, and everyone in between, I too learn from everyone I train.   By utilizing stress as a method for growth, I've been able to accomplish more in my personal and professional life. My barometer for success is measured by helping others expand their comfort zone and develop better tools for dealing with stress. I propose that stress not be seen as a negative. By using stress to adapt, we become more resilient; creating a new pathway to healing and a deeper connection with our bodies. Through mindset-training and breath-work, I redefine the relationship with stress, ultimately this leads to a better understanding of oneself and how to thrive in our modern society. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Breathe for ALS.

Episode 100 of Mike's Search for Meaning is in the house!!!! I could not think of a more special way to celebrate this milestone than to invite my father back on as a return guest.   As a father to a 3 month old, fatherhood and parenting is very top of mind for me. This conversation focuses on how my father was raised, how I was raised, the ways I look at parenting my son, childhood pains and how they inform our parenting styles, masculinity…a lot of the things!   We attended a men's retreat together in May - 6 months ago - that transformed our relationship, and so we discussed what that experience was like; being in the woods together, no cell phones, for 48 consecutive hours, working through our stuff together.    Professionally, my father is a real estate agent, and you can connect with him at: https://trugmanteam.kw.com/. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now.

CLINT'S BIO: I'm all about first-person storytelling because I believe that knowing someone requires understanding their journey. My life's chapters have been diverse and unexpected.   Originating from South Africa, I embarked on a 15-year radio career that spanned 4 countries and hosted over 5 million global listeners. My radio career gifted me with remarkable experiences, from reality TV to Formula 1 rides, inspiring me to preserve and share these invaluable memories.   Relocating to Dubai in 2008 and later to Australia exposed me to various nationalities, enriching my understanding of cultures and the power of people's stories. Then came the extraordinary – winning the American Green Card Lottery, fulfilling a lifelong dream for my my wife and me to live in the U.S.A.   I've learned that authentic connections stem from shared stories. This insight led to the creation of the Capsll app, a way to engage with our digital content in a meaningful way, preserving and passing on our stories across generations.   I'm a thinker, learner, cancer survivor, and visionary, guided by peace and fueled by empathy. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Hope Kids.

I'm a new dad! Being a new dad has brought up a LOT for me. I've heard a lot of well-meaning advice, like: -Get some sleep while you can! -Soak it all in. Being a parent is the best. -You might not connect with your child immediately, and that's ok. These are all true, but they are very surface level. My intention with this episode is to provide depth, color and texture to what it's like to bring a child into the world. Being a dad has tested me in every way imaginable, and hopefully the lessons I have learned (and surely continue to learn; as I'm writing this, I went through one of my most challenging days as a parent) can show more of the full picture of fatherhood and parenthood.

Susan Olesek is an unapologetic idealist, a Human Potentialist in passionate pursuit of what is possible for people. Born outside of Boston, raised in Hong Kong and Japan, and educated in England and California, she earned a BA in Sociology from Occidental College and has cultivated a compassionate interest in human behavior during her lifetime.  Susan brings her conviction that there is something inherently “good” in people to anyone in her presence. During her 15 years of developing self-awareness training for Fortune 500 executives, corporate teams, schools, and those experiencing incarceration, she became known for her compassionate approach to the Enneagram. In 2012 she founded Enneagram Prison Project (EPP): a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to the self-awareness education of people who are incarcerated, now scaling around the globe.  While working with wildly diverse groups of people using the same insightful tool, Susan became convinced that the Enneagram has always been meant for everyone.

Chelsea's Bio: I've been passionate about writing from as early on as I can remember. In 2014, I finally stopped ignoring the stories bubbling up inside me and wrote my first book. A quirky memoir appropriately all about discovering myself. I went on to create a children's fantasy series about a quirky little elfin girl in Iceland.  I was finally home. I had found my center. I felt alive anytime I let the words spill out of me and onto a piece of paper. Writing became a therapy for me. I started using the tool to help heal my own traumas. It was such a powerful tool for me, I started exploring and implementing how I could share it with others. How I can help others write their own stories, and heal through writing. The results have been astounding. Because we all have a story inside of us, and whether you're looking to publish that story or not, the healing release of writing it down is ENORMOUS. I live part-time in Colorado and part-time in Portugal with my husband, three practically perfect daughters, and Gladys the cat. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is Breast Cancer Awareness.

For more than a decade, Valerie Livesay, Ph.D. has been thinking about and inquiring into the phenomenon of fallback — when despite our optimal developmental capacities, what we often refer to as our developmental center-of-gravity, we make meaning, feel, and act from a smaller, less complex, less capable form of mind. Following a career in higher education in both administration and faculty roles, Valerie's present endeavors seek to extend the concepts and experiences that she studies, teaches, and writes about outside of the halls of academia, to the lives of all people trying to navigate the tricky business of showing up in alignment with their intentions in the many contexts of their world.     As Chief Illuminator at Ghost Light Leadership, Valerie accompanies individuals through their discovery of self using the analogy of theater to set the stage for their historical and unfolding story. She serves as documentarian, bringing to light the lesser known, lesser loved, and occasionally forgotten roles and scenes that make up one's full ensemble and storyline. Through her writing, speaking, coaching, and workshop offerings, Valerie invites the many characters that comprise the full ensemble of one's self to dance together in order to better meet their intentions.   Valerie is the author of Leaving the Ghost Light Burning: Illuminating Fallback in Embrace of the Fullness of You in which she reveals both the despair and ecstasy that accompany a knowing of the fullness of one's self through the stories of four individuals and their experiences of fallback. This longitudinal study (which was actually never intended to be a longitudinal study) allows the reader to find the fullness of themselves in the journey of development and the experience of being human.     Valerie holds a Bachelor's degree from Indiana University and earned her Master's in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego. She lives in San Diego, California with her two cats, husband, and two children, with the latter three serving simultaneously as the most frequent protagonists of and audience to her experiences of fallback and the greatest source of her desire to do better. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is The Monarch School in San Diego.
