We get into how "being a man" means incorporating BOTH the primal masculine drive present in us along with a connection to our heart. That this is where the magic is.And how "Average is the Enemy" and how we can avoid languishing in mediocrity in life.Enjoy.To connect with Shawn...His Website: https://www.shawnharper.org/His Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shawnharperspeaker/

“To become the person you truly are, you have to let go of you think you are supposed to be"Doug Cartwright is a speaker, author (of the book  Holy Sh!t We're Alive), and CEO and Founder of The Daily Shifts. Doug takes us through his journey from being a twenty something, ex-morman, ex-millionaire living deeply unfulfilled who had done everything he was “supposed” to do. He was living a lavish life, VIP bottle service with Drake, hanging out with Kevin Durant in a suite at the Superbowl, before realizing that the only reason he was doing all of these things was to receive validation on social media, and that none of it was actually contributing to lasting happiness.That was until he (re)found his true essence and dropped all of the masks, labels and stories.How psychedelics acted as a gateway drug into self-love for Doug.How there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting Instagram likes, but the issue comes when you NEED the instragram likes.How there is no right path for anyone on the healing journey, but it's all about finding what is right for you (whether that is mediation, working with a coach/therapist, going on an ayahuasca journey etc.) The power of an attitude of gratitude in settling you in the moment that you are in instead of having you thinking about a moment you WISH you were inDoug's (funny) story about an experience getting over his “fear of sucking” on the ski hill.Thanks for slowing down with us.To connect with Doug:Instagram: @doug_cartwrightBuy His Book "Holy Sh!t We're Alive" 

Michele (Mickey) Graglia is a former top model and is currently one of the world's top ultra runners.

His wins in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, with temperatures below -40ºF, and the Badwater 135 in Death Valley, with highs above 130ºF, made him the first person in history to win both the hottest and coldest foot races on Earth. Michele gets into how dropping out of the mind and into the body/heart (through mindfulness) has been the key for his success in ultra running, regardless of the environment he is competing in.The power of continual exploration of ourselves, our potential and seeking out the uncomfortable. All in an effort of living fully. Which all starts with simply opening the mind to what is possible.Michele takes us through his (wild) journey of being a top model, living a lavish lifestyle in Miami, but not feeling fulfilled. To later finding ultra running (his true calling) and building an incredibly successful athletic career.So f**^&* good.To connect with Michele Graglia:Follow Michele on Instagram: @mickeygragliaBuy his book (ULTRA: Top Model to Top Ultra Runner): https://michelegraglia.com/

His writing has been featured in outlets such as TIME, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, and Thought Catalogue. Nick speaks multiple languages and spends his time between Tokyo and Montréal.We go deep down the rabbit hole of learning, mastery, the meaning of life and debate whether it's better to be realistic and depressed or disconnected from reality but content.Why experimentation is key in the process of learning.Why the most important piece of learning is “learning how to learn”.Why Nick thinks that “learning styles” are a myth.Why it's harder to learn a language as you get older.Why when it comes to skill the saying “you either have it or you don't” is not fully true (and some real world examples of this).Why you might not be as productive working from home.And so much more.

Really excited to share this one. We've got Somatic Experiencing Practitioner®, Somatic Practice, Feldenkrais® & Yoga Practitioner, Nicole Lohse on the show, who has dedicated her life to helping people move "out of survival and into flow". All through building awareness and becoming curious around our nervous system responses and how this shows up in the body.We talk "go mode" (that I often find myself in), how this can actually be a survival pattern and how we can achieve in a more healthy way that is connected to our bodies.How the end goal of this somatic/body work is not to "always be in a state of bliss" (this is bullshit). But instead, to be able to move through the experiences of life in a regulated way where we are connected with ourselves and have awareness around our nervous system responses.Why trauma is not about what happened TO us, but is when we are still stuck trying to survive something and where we still believe there is a danger or threat.How we can decipher whether we're showing up from trauma versus showing up true to ourselves.How the work is all about building awareness and getting curious about how we're showing up in the world. And from there we can get curious about what other responses exist and over time, move into a more regulated response pattern.The power of making our survival patterns our allyHow we can establish safety in situations where we feel triggered and have a nervous system response.The power of realizing that we are already whole and striving to gain more and more access to our wholeness.Enjoy.To connect with the amazing Nicole Lohse:Website: https://www.nicolelohse.com/ Instagram: @nlohse

He's written a book, he's filmed a documentary. All around one simple (but powerful) message. Your life matters.Our guest today, D. John Jackson shifted gears from being a fortune 50 corporate leader, to dedicating himself to speaking to and for the underrepresented and marginalized groups in the world.We get into how black men are categorized into three buckets growing up - "entertainers, athletes or on the wrong side of the law". And how John looks to change the narrative on this.The concept of “embracing difference” and how the world needs a (massive) dose of this right now.How there are so many people out there who are “invisible”. How they get to that point and the impact of taking a small step to acknowledge their humanness.The importance in leadership of "digging into" the individuals on your team and understanding their full experience.How (even if we don’t realize it) we are showing more respect to certain individuals than others.How we grossly underestimate the number of people we impact on a daily basis.Enjoy.To connect with D.

This is without a doubt one of my favorite conversations (ever).We've got a man who is a poet with his words (and has a great beard), Rainier Wylde on the show.We get into the shadow. How it is the collection of those parts of ourselves that we have had to cut away or mask in order to belong. And Rainier takes us through his own journey with his shadow.How many boys in modern society do not get to experience the “hunter stage”. Where the boy gets to learn to be pointed, purposeful, assertive. Learns that his voice matters, to be aggressive, disciplined and resolute. To be the same self in every room he walks in (AKA integrity).  And how skipping this step does not allow the boy to internalize the belief that “life is hard and I have the capacity to meet it on it's own terms”.How Rainier was “not able to keep his own agreements with himself or others” and how this came to a boiling point when he was faced with looking his wife in the eyes and telling her that he had betrayed her. And how in doing this, and taking a stand, for the truth, at risk of losing it all (friends, family, reputation) Rainier was able to take a massive step in his own evolution.How belonging is the fundamental condition in the human psyche. Which is why humans are willing to sacrifice authenticity in favor of a false sense of belonging. We would rather be liked and accepted for who we aren’t than rejected for who we are.How filling our "bucket of belonging" in a healthy way" begins and ends with authenticity.The practice of radical authenticity in relationship, staying up to the moment in honesty with each other and how concealing (even small things) from our partner is a dangerous practice.The danger of “worshipping” our partner in a relationship and creating a story around the other.

Our guest today was more productive during COVID than most. She doubled down on connections with her friends and wrote a book on the s*** that adults never taught us growing up... Titled, "S*** Adults Never Taught Us". We've got Natasha Sattler on the show!We go deep on the concept of connection. How it is a human need and we need to destigmatize feeling lonely (because it's normal). And how it is possible to be in a room full of people and still feel alone.Seeing anxiety as a "signal light" of something we need to address in our life. And instead of addressing the surface symptom, going DEEP.Why Natasha believes we should destigmatize the concept of addiction (because we've all got em'). And the power of bringing awareness to these things that we do habitually to emotionally regulate.How many of us never learned to "protect our peace" growing up. Why we don't really "fall" in love but actually "choose" love daily. And how to tell the difference between "love" and "infatuation".By the way, I reference the book Together by Vivek H. Murthy in the pod. Here is a link to the book! To connect with Natasha:Buy her book, S*** Adults Never Taught Us - https://shitadultsnevertaughtus.com/ Instagram - @shitadultsnevertaughtus

“If you keep your s*** tucked away in the corner, it f******  stinks.”Our guest today is someone who I would call an "Everyday Legend".Mike Campbell is a men’s coach, author, founder of The Everyday Legends Coaching Program and host of the Everyday Legends Podcast. A dude who is helping other men break free of the ordinary and build legendary relationships – with themselves, their partners, and their world. This one is all about s***. Identifying our s***. Owning our s***. And then allowing others to see our s***. With a goal of "feeling at home within ourselves". So that wherever life brings us, we feel at home. We feel like we have value.Why "nice guys" abandon their values and truth in the desperate search of validation. Coming from a place of “I need other people to like me so I can like myself”.Why many men feel the need to suppress certain parts of themselves and instead only show a meticulously curated version of what we think we SHOULD be . And how this practice keeps us from experiencing the basic human needs of love, depth and belonging.Why "having your s*** together" does not mean that you do not have s***. You just own it and deal with it. What “Zeuss Energy” is and why Mike associates the word with his definition of “being a man”.Thanks for slowing down with us.To connect with Mike Campbell:Instagram - @mikecampbellmc (he drops truth bombs on the regular)"Get Your Shit Together 101" Course - http://mikecampbell.com.au/get-your-shit-togetherThe Everyday Legends Podcast - http://mikecampbell.com.au/podcast/Get his Book "Unleash Your Alpha"

This is a heavy one folks...We've got Claudia Goetzelmann on the show, who experienced a "small death" in going through a divorce and losing her identity. And in doing so she dug DEEP into the concept of death.And through this experience, she came to the realization that perhaps she was more scared of death than she should be.  And realized that over time in the relationship she had abandoned parts of herself. And Claudia takes us through her experience of "re-accepting" herself and grieving the loss of the identity she previously held in the marriage.We get into how we are continually faced with death in our lives. Small deaths and big deaths. All of which come with a natural grieving process.What it means to live a "full" life. And when we're on our death bed, what will truly matter to us.Enjoy.To connect with Claudia:Website: https://www.permissiontobloomcoaching.com/Instagram: @permission_to_bloom

Our guest today has a fascinating story (and possible the most calming voice on the planet).... He got to a point where he had everything he really wanted, but  was anxious and dissatisfied… So he sought solitude and lived and traveled with monks across America in a van (as one does).We go deep on what he took away from this wild experience. Especially on the topic of emotions.The power of asking ourselves “how do we look at our emotions" and shifting our perspective to one where we allow them to move and flow. In experiencing what we are experiencing.We get into whether it is possible to hold space for others emotions if we are not holding space for our own...Why emotions in a way, are like a colorful beach ball that we are trying to push underwater (fricken love this analogy).The power of finding "harmony" in conflicting  ideas and not jumping to extremes.How “being with an emotion” looks different for everybody. For some it's sitting in silence, for others it's going for a run. And how the key question is “am I doing this to run away from” or “am I doing this to embrace”.As well as some of the practical things Ananda took from his experience as a monk. I.e. how to design your own spiritual practice and the power of ritual.Enjoy.To connect with Ananda Murari:Instagram (@wholeperson.life)Website

Daniel made his first million at 20 years old. And was a millionaire for about 6 months before losing it all...He went from a place of shallow, blind faith in his capacity to create, to a man pondering the thought of taking his own life.Over the next number of years, he "accidentally reprogrammed his mind" to choose life and get out of the chase.Our guest today is a man with a beautiful accent and an even more beautiful story, Daniel Mangena.We get into the power of sharing the “crap” in your life (not just the good stuff). And how stepping into vulnerability was the first step in Daniel turning his life around.How once we accept the deeply rooted shame experiences in our life, it becomes much easier to accept the other imperfections that make us human.We go deep on the concept of growth. Why Daniel still invests thousands of dollars in personal development each year and why there is some truth to the saying "when you stop growing you start dying". And how growth doesn't look the same to all people.We talk the cliched topic of "finding your purpose". Why we should stop putting so much pressure on finding our purpose and why maybe there isn’t even a singular purpose for our life but that maybe it is something that changes moment to moment.Why JOY can be the guide for finding our "unique role".Enjoy.To connect with Daniel:Website (visit and join his mailing list for free giveaways)Instagram (@dreamerceo)BooksPodcast (Do It With Dan)

What the toxic masculine looks like. And how a toxic feminine DOES exist and should be talked about more often.Why finding the relationship of our dreams starts with confidence. Which comes from finding passions, having strong relationships with other men and working on the relationship with ourselves.How our internal world and how we feel about ourselves is reflected in the external world (and more specifically in the relationships that we enter).Why you DON'T need to have your life in perfect order before getting into relationship.How in the world of infinite choice, we know if someone is right for us.How many mistake an activated attachment system for love.How on some level we need to accept that following the honeymoon phase, things will feel a little less electric than at the beginning of dating. And how keeping curiosity for the other is key. The 4 types of intimacy and what these look like.Why mystery is an important piece of relationships.Why we need to remove the guilt around asking our partner for time alone (and how to ask for this effectively).Why judgement and contempt kills relationships (and the biggest indicator of marital divorce).The power of the 6 second kiss (also known the “kiss of possibility”).Enjoy.To connect with Kimberly Hill:WebsiteYoutube

“Am I coming from a place of worthiness or unworthiness”We've got self-love warrior, host of the Love Amped Podcast and all around good guy, Mr. Seth Pearson on the show.He talks about how he went from a place of depression, constant comparison, and feelings of unworthiness to being a man brimming with self love (as I am sure is clear from listening to him speak).His first experience of self-love (it was using MDMA) and how he built the self-love muscle following that experience.How self-love is one of the most clichéd sayings out there (and why it shouldn’t be). And practical strategies that Seth has used to develop self-love.How the level of intimacy that we have with ourselves is reflected onto their relationships that we have in the world. And why those who love themselves more are actually more giving and understanding in relationships. And Seth shares his experience of being in a relationship with someone who is lacking in the self-love department.The delicate balance of the positive ego and narcissism. How the negative ego looks for power OVER and the positive ego looks at power WITH.And finally, we get into Seth's experience as a recovering nice guy (and how self-love was a key part of this equation)To connect with Seth Pearson:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeLove Amped PodcastLove yourself like your life depends on it – Kamal Ravikant

Thane Marcus Ringler on the show.We talk his transition from grinding it out on pro golf tours (a totally self focused career) to devoting himself to helping others.We talk how as a part of his laser like focus on performance, he cut out emotion.

He built a million dollar biz, has written books, has been featured on reality TV shows and travelled the world.... But despite how great all of these things sound, he wasn't happy. And it wasn't until he quit "the chase", slowed down and went inwards that he began to experience fulfillment.We've got Fitness Guru and Host of the "Man Over Mind" Podcast, Joe Carabase on the show!We get into so much in this one. But here is a glimpse:- The importance of letting your kids see you cry as a father- How a lack of initiation is affecting how men are coming up today- What it means to "build the inner warrior"- What happens when we put the validation of others above the love we give ourselves- Why we need to make self love cooler among men- The power of surrendering to what is - Why slowing down does not mean being indifferent- Why self acceptance is non-judgement (and some practices to release the judgement)- Finding things that “fill you up” and doubling down on themEnjoy.To connect with Joe Carabase:Man Over Mind Podcast (check out my appearance on "Whisky Talks"!) - https://bemanovermind.com/podcast-2/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joecarabase/?hl=en Coaching - https://bemanovermind.com/coaching/

The answer goes all the way back to the caveman era.Why not all positivity is helpful and what "toxic positivity" is.How Tiger Woods' famous public blow-up likely was rooted in some way in him simply not "feeling seen". And how this same narrative plays out (in different ways) for men.Why the first few dates are actually really fricken important. And how showing up as authentically as possible from date 1 (no one is perfect) is a major key to building a thriving partnership.How and why we should seek to deepen our connection with everyone in our lives (not just our significant other).How we can elevate the connection in our daily lives with absolute strangers in as little as 20 seconds (Rachael has a killer story to prove it).Enjoy.To connect with Rachael Jaye:Website (Check it out and get the FREE mini-playbook "5 Fumbles When You're Trying to Score"): http://www.hkrcoaching.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hkrcoaching/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hkrcoachingLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hkrcoaching/

An online dating horror story, her true crime story should literally be a special on Netflix... In April of 2019 she found out the guy she had been dating for 6 months was a con man and was in the middle of his biggest con to date... Dating her. Breathing coach, physiotherapist and host of the #1 Podcast in New Zealand , Conning the Con, we've got Emma Ferris on the show.Emma takes us through the story of how she built trust and a relationship with a man who she later found out was not who he said he was... And then being put in a position to "con the con".How after being put in a situation where her she lost a mass amount of trust, she learned to trust herself.She shares her story, because she believes that in some way we all have been "conned" in our lives. In going through a situation in business, relationship or otherwise where we place our trust in someone and they turn out not to be who we thought they were.How she dealt with the stress of the situation. Consciously choosing not to go into "victim mode" and instead choosing "to step into life".How her understanding of the body and how the body reacts to stress helped her through this situation and how our body can store tension over time, impacting our breathing pattern and influencing our emotions.Why we are always sitting somewhere on the spectrum of safety to trauma. And how so many people are stuck in trauma/anxiety mode on a daily basis without knowing that this is not normal.Why it is possible for us to be in a completely safe environment, but can be stuck in an anxiety state because we are carrying tension with us from years ago.The power of play and dance (i.e. ecstatic dance) in releasing trauma being held in the body.The power of having a breathwork practice through times of fear and uncertainty (like COVID).Enjoy.To connect with Emma Ferris:Listen to her Podcast - Conning the Con The Breath Effect - Coaching & ResourcesInstagramFacebook

You may know him as @daringtodad on instagram... we've got men's coach, father coach, Ryan Walton on the show today.We go deep down the rabbit hole on fatherhood. What Ryan was faced with when he became a parent. And how though he "went into the ring ready", he was greeted by a punch in the face.How parenting forces us to face the parts of ourselves that maybe we don't like so much and some of the stories that we carry with us. And how really, most of parenting is NOT about managing our child's emotions and behaviour, but is being faced with and managing our own.How we spend so much time preparing to have kids (reading all the magazines, buying clothes, toys, a sweet crib)... But in reality the biggest thing we can do in anticipation of becoming a parent is working on ourselves.Why it is so important for men to find "brave spaces".Why curiosity is the defense to judgement. And how what we judge we will never understand. Why an attitude of curiosity (and not judgement) is the number one thing you can take into fatherhood.Finally, how the comparison trap exists in parenting as well.Enjoy.To connect with Ryan Walton:Instagram WebsiteFacebook

He coached multiple top 10 players throughout their tennis career and was the personal coach for Victoria Azarenka (former world #1) and Andrea Petkovic (former world #10). Not to mention, he himself was also a tennis player on the international circuit. For the past decade his focus turned to mindset training for peak performance through evidence-based mindfulness skill development, which he incorporates in his function as the Global Mindset Coach for adidas Runners as well as with his personal and corporate clients. Our guest today, Mr. Christian Straka has been at the forefront of the mindfulness movement in pro sports for many years.Today we get into how he has seen the sport world shift more towards mind training and mindfulness as a key piece of driving performance.How there is this stereotype out there that mindfulness is ONLY to be used to help treat issues in our lives (i.e. deal with difficult relationships, with anxiety etc.). But the reality is, there is so much value in working on our minds through the good times as well. To improve our performance and how we are showing up on a daily basis.How the self-critic, negative thoughts and negative emotions are not all inherently bad. And what a healthy relationship with these looks like. The things Christian does to train the minds of elite level athletes so that they can RESPOND and not REACT in the big moment.Enjoy.To connect with Christian Straka:InstagramMindSize Performance Training ProgramChristian Straka's WebsiteGet the UltraHuman App

"Live the way you want to be remembered"Decisions are hard, man. And they don't have to be. That's why we've got psychologist, author and decision making expert, Tim Yen on the show this week.Author of "Choose Better, the Optimal Decision Making Framework" - we dig into first of all why decisions can be seemingly so hard to make. Whether it's what type of meat you want on your nachos or whether you should take the leap and change careers.We get into why the first step in optimal decision making is changing our relationship with failure. And dissociating our self worth from the outcome of the many many decisions we make as we go through our day.How a huge component of "Nice Guy Syndrome" (see past episodes with Dr. Robert Glover and Dr. Michael Pariser) is the inability to state our opinion and define what matters to us.How at the end of the day, it is not a performance enhancing drug that will make us better at decision making. But rather, it is going inward. getting to know ourselves. Who we are. What we like/don't like. And operating from this framework of self awareness and respect for what we value.Enjoy.To connect with Tim -BUY THE BOOK - Choose Better: The Optimal Decision Making FrameworkWEBSITEINSTAGRAM

"There is nothing stronger than vulnerability".This week we've got men’s embodiment coach, group facilitator, and evolutionary guide, Mr. Jason Lange on the show.We kick things off talking about the "worst date of Jason's life". And what he learned from it. (Listen to the end to hear my own "worst date story").But this is all about the power of finding presence and stillness as men in relationship (AKA being like James Bond).We talk what the #1 thing women look for in a man.How at the end of the day it all comes down to one word... TRUST.The power of choosing where to put your awareness (instead of just unconsciously doing what our nervous systems dictate).How it is in our "edge" that we figure out who we are as men.And why we need to get better at being alone.Enjoy!To connect with Jason: WebsiteInstagramCoaching

Today we've got The Fear Guy, Ben Harris on the show!He coaches, mentors and creates content that is all about helping people "free themselves" from the fear in their lives.This one starts out all about fear and then gets into a deep discussion of masculinity and what it means to be a man. So good.We get into how some of the fear that we hold on a daily basis is NOT even our own fear (others perhaps projected this fear onto us).What it means to "find our frequency" (woo-woo sounding I know, but also a very real thing).Why Ben is on a hiatus from social media and other things he does to "protect his energy".How masculinity is being demonized in some ways in today's society and what aspects of masculinity we SHOULD be celebrating.Why asking for help is a superpower (and why this is such a hard thing for dudes in particular).And finally, why Ben found himself sobbing on his bathroom floor and what he learned from the experience.Follow the fear my friends AND follow Mr. Ben Harris:InstagramWebsiteFeeling Free - the Podcast

“Everything we have been searching for outside ourselves has been within us the whole time”Boom.Today we’ve got entrepreneur, coach, 5x author, international speaker and host of the Entrepreneurial You Podcast which has featured the likes of Richard Branson and Seth Godin (to name a couple). Heneka Watkis-Porter!After many years "hustling" and building businesses, it all came to a grinding halt for Heneka when she began experiencing severe adrenal fatigue, insomnia and depression. This forced her to slow down and really focus in on her wellness.We get into what has (and has not) worked on her wellness journey.The importance of listening to our bodies.The power of taking an inventory of all of the things that we DO on a daily basis and eliminating the things that perhaps we are doing out of a fear of not doing (AKA of just BEING).So so good. Enjoy.To connect with the amazing Heneka Watkis-Porter:WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitter

Today we've got my friend, an award-winning digital thought leader and author, distinguished Toastmaster & keynote speaker, former partner and Chief Operating Officer of a multi-million dollar retail company, and a sought after lifestyle mentor and executive performance coach. From Vancouver, fellow Canadian! Mr. Dai Manuel on the show!Truthfully, I had an issue coming up with a title/theme for this episode because we just kinda hit record and talked about a thousand things. We get into how he is 44 years old but looks like he could be 30. And what his secret is.How he strives to be FUNctionally fit (note that fun is capitalized) in all areas of his life. I.e. if ENJOYMENT is lacking from any area of his life, he looks to alter that area to a point where he is enjoying it once again.His struggles with alcohol and how externally it didn’t probably look like he had an issue, but how he had developed a dependency and it was compromising the man he set out to be. And the awesome question that his wife asked him that changed it all.His experience doing a 10 day silent vipassana meditation. In Thailand.Enjoy!!To connect with Dai:WebsiteHis BlogInstagram

Boxing Day Special!!Perhaps I am taking the punny humour a step too far, but naturally had to wait two months to release the episode with Boxing Coach (and just fantastic dude), Cleveland Hughes on Boxing Day.Without a doubt one of the toughest dudes we've had on the show. He started Healing Mitts Boxing Gym - which is unique in that it's intention is NOT to produce the next Iron Mike Tyson.INSTEAD, it's intention is to make people better at life and make better people. Through boxing. So f***** cool.We talk how we all need outlets to emotionally regulate. And how men in particular need to find healthy ways to express masculine emotions like anger and aggression. The importance of finding community.How stepping into a ring knowing the other dude in that ring wants to knock you out has helped Cleveland deal with anxiety.The power of being AFRAID, but still getting in the ring and doing the THING.PLUS a phenomenal story about a client that MIGHT make you cry - disclaimer.Let's get in the ring and do the thing.To connect with Cleveland Hughes:InstagramYoutube Video on Healing Mitts Healing Mitts Website

Today we've got former collegiate baseball player turned sport scientist turned entrepreneur, Mr. Dallen Reber on the show!This one is all about the power of SELF-AWARENESS.One of the ways that self-awareness is built is through the practice of journaling. Dallen takes us through how journaling is THE thing that led him to leave a job that others would perceive as "super cool" to follow what he REALLY wanted in life. That takes courage, man.That's why he founded the "Realization Self-Mastery Journal". Helping lead others toward similar realizations.We talk flipping the script from finding value in "what we do" to instead finding value in "who we are".And finally, how to relentlessly chase a vision while still staying grounded and present in the moment.Enjoy.To connect with Dallen Reber:Purchase the Realizations Self-Mastery BundleInstagram

Today on the show we've got former NBA Scout for the Cleveland Cavaliers and former College Basketball Coach, Mr. Steve Done (A.K.A. Coach Done).Of course we talk a little (ok like a significant amount) of ball. But we go deeper than just talking basketball.This one gets into CHARACTER. And what character means. And how Coach Done identified this trait in young up and coming players as a scout.We talk the importance of AWARENESS in basketball and in life. And how amazing it is to have people in your life who are honest & direct with you - in helping you to bring awareness to the blind spots in your life.And finally, Coach brings us through his experience at "rock bottom". Outwardly, everything looked great. But inside he was a self described "mess". Much of this, he found was fueled by resentment.How did he turn things around? Forgiveness. Forgiving himself, forgiving others - and in particular, his parents.This is a good one! Enjoy.To connect with Coach Done:Here is a link to all of his books (including the recent release - TIMEOUT)Coach Done's Youtube Channel

Our guest today has written a book, is a health coach and is in relentless pursuit of "living damn well".Jorge Roman joins us and we get into first, what it means to "live damn well". How it is SO important for each of us to ask ourselves this question. In asking what optimal health really means to us. WHY do we work out every day, why do we eat what we eat? What is the point of it all for US.We go down SO many rabbit holes in this one...- Why you can have a 6-pack and still be unhealthy. And what biomarkers of good health we SHOULD be looking at - The importance of the big D! Vitamin D- How we as humans are meant to be OUTDOORS. And the affects of too much time inside in a sterile environment on us- How electromagnetic radiation is the silent killer- How meditation can REVERSE aging- The power of connecting with others- The effects of the different seasons on our bodies and how we are meant to eat seasonally- The "miracle mineral", magnesium- Why pushing our bodies to the extreme (i.e. HIIT training) multiple times per week can actually have a negative effectJorge does a LOT of research and references many articles.

Our guest today is someone who I would call a “spiritual badass”. We’ve got Chess Edwards on the show. Who spent 20 years as an adventure travel guide and then took a huge career pivot becoming a different kind of guide – a spiritual guide/meditation teacher. We get into how in his career as an adventure guide, he was exploring the most amazing places on earth, all in an attempt to avoid turning inward and exploring himself. Living in a world that allowed him to never get close to anyone. I know that I resonate with this and as I talk about, led to me to be totally blocked off emotionally in relation with others.We talk how you don’t need to be a monk to be in touch with your spiritual side (i.e. a spiritual badass) – fully engaged with day to day life but also connected with ones self.The power (especially for dudes) of building an emotional vocabulary and getting in touch with what the heck we are feeling each day. And how it’s so funny how we are so descriptive when describing a craft beer or a glass of wine, but when it comes to how we are feeling say things like “I'm doing OK”. OH, and Chess has generously provided a couple of gifts for you. A collection of amazing guided meditations (let me tell ya, this guy's voice was crafted by the gods to lead meditations) and the "Emotional Vocabulary Builder Tool". Both of which are linked to below!To access your collection of FREE guided meditations: https://bit.ly/Chess-36mWVSW To access your FREE Emotional Vocabulary Builder Tool: https://bit.ly/Chess-EVB-SlowDownMan For more, visit Chess' website: https://www.chessedwards.com/ and YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/chessedwards

Today we’ve got the founder of nutrition company, Alaya Naturals (awesome clean, organic superfood supplements) on the show. And as you will surely realize when listening, just an amazing woman. But today we're not talking nutrition. We're talking finding your authentic voice. Something Shauna was forced to do when writing a memoir of her life (and literally laying it all on the table).We dig into how many of us "edit ourselves" (often unknowingly) on a daily basis. Changing how we act, look and talk to adhere to the validation of others.And we talk about the absolute magic that can happen when you put the "editing" to rest and just let your true self "flow". Emotions, thoughts, everything. And how when we show up as ourselves (i.e. show vulnerability) we invite others to do the same.We also chat about the following:- How (literally) everything that we do (including what we eat) is a projection of our value systems as a person.- The power of "checking in with ourselves" to see what we need in that moment. Sometimes it's a hard workout and a green smoothie. Sometimes it's netflix and pizza.- How we're all just "kids trapped in an adult body" and Shauna being forced to "reparent" herself through the process of parenting her kids.- The power of first of all holding space for emotions that we are experiencing. And then taking this a step further and documenting everything going on in those moments.- How sometimes the "next step" is simply taking a step. And then course correcting if necessary.And more! I sincerely hope you enjoy.To connect with the amazing Shauna Reiter:Alaya Naturals WebsiteAlaya Naturals InstagramShauna Brittenham on Apple MusicShauna Brittenham on Spotify

As Taylor Swift says, "Two is Better Than One" and so today we have TWO guests on the show - Nicole Girouard & Laura Moon. Of Bare Slate and hosts of the awesome "Ask More, Get More Show".This one is all about asking yourself two (very important) questions. 1) Who am I?2) What do I want?And how once we dig into the answers to these questions (which takes a whole lot of time), we can no longer be offended. Because we know who we are and what we value and place these things ahead of the validation of others.Nicole & Laura have a wealth of experience working with leaders at organizations and so we also dig into what causes dysfunction in the workplace. Hint: Most of it stems from complexity and not actually knowing who the f*** you are working with.Finally, we chat how we can have more moments in our life where we are EXCITED about how slowly time is passing. And the importance of balancing hustle with slowing down.Such a good conversation and I hope you enjoy!To connect with the wonderful Nicole & Laura of Bare Slate:Join the GET MORE MovementInstagramWebsiteYoutube ChannelThe Ask More, Get More Podcast

We go further down the rabbit hole on "Nice Guy Syndrome" with a good friend of Dr. Robert Glover's... Dr. Michael Pariser.With over 20 years of experience treating emotional issues and AUTHOR of the book No More Mr. Nice Guy: The Hero's Journey - A Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming an Integrated Male. Since 2012, he has been helping Nice Guys find their way to greater confidence and masculinity. In this episode we dig into how "nice guys" can grow their sack back. Not through traditional symbols of masculinity like big muscles or being an "asshole". But through self-acceptance. Yes, you heard that right, self-acceptance.We talk how the root of nice guy syndrome is in a belief that we are inherently "unlovable" and how the cure to this (and all of the many symptoms of nice guy syndrome) is to accept ALL parts of ourselves and quit the constant chase to mask all parts of us that we deem unworthy.Also...- The difference between healthy and toxic masculinity- Asserting ourselves as men in a healthy way- The three aspects to getting in relationship with someone (interest, intimacy and commitment). And how nice guys often mistake interest for intimacy and rush commitment (thinking "she's the one"!!)Enjoy!To connect with Dr. Michael Pariser....Buy his Book "No More Mr. Nice Guy: The Hero's Journey - A Step-by-Step Guide to Becoming an Integrated Male" (I HIGHLY recommend)Visit his Website

Today on the show we've got the Author of "Becoming a Better Man", Mr. Mike Cameron on the show!After experiencing a tragedy in his life, Mike made the decision to change the lives of men.We talk about what TRUE strength is and what it truly means to be a man. It's not pushing through pain and "being strong". But rather having the courage to sit with strong emotions and work through them.We talk creating space for men to drop the masculine mask and express their true selves.How emotional work is no different than hitting the gym. It requires the same attention and consistency of practice.And his ethos ties PERFECTLY to the theme of the podcast... SOAR (Slow Down, Open Up, Accept, Reconnect).And finally, how "sometimes in order to keep it together, you just have to lose your s***".Enjoy!To connect with Mike Cameron:WebsiteInstagramBuy his book, "Becoming a Better Man"Watch his Ted Talk, "Redefining Badass"

Love is in the air! We've got Love Coach, Shaun Galanos on the show talking all about why when it comes to relationships, slower is better.Great empires (and relationships) aren't built overnight. We dig into where this rush to get into relationships stems from (hint: it is an attempt to avoid the existential loneliness of being human).He tells us how we can gauge if a relationship is moving too fast. What WE can do if we are one of those people who has a tendency to rush relationships. As well as how we can go about talking to our partner if they are being a speed racer.Ultimately, humans crave certainty and relationships come with an inherent lack of certainty. So Shaun tells us why instead of seeking certainty, we should be seeking clarity.Finally, I ask him the hard hitting question "does love at first sight exist?"To connect with Shaun Galanos, please see below!InstagramWebsite And check out his podcast, The Love Drive

We've got acclaimed author, Robin Clare on the show and her central belief is that all "addictions" (i.e. alcohol, food etc.) are REALLY just addictions to suffering. And that while pain is inevitable in life, suffering is a choice. And many of us continually choose it.Robin digs into how the "turn tables turned" for her after opening up to the world about her bulimia and addiction to food (AKA releasing the s***).We get into the power of surrendering and just letting things unfold as they may. Setting standards for our lives and absolutely not accepting anything that is not in alignment with those.And much much more! Disclaimer: this one is DEEP.To connect with Robin Clare:Website

Our guest on the show today is JACKED.And he does it the right way. With a balanced (not overly restrictive) diet and a focus on things like sleep, hydration and not focusing on things too much.We've got Max Cathcart on the show, who owns a nutrition company helping entrepreneurs gain mental clarity, build muscle, and improve energy through nutrition.We get into the importance sleep, water and the odd cheat meal. As well as how to make time for your fitness and nutrition, even if you have no time.And we talk about how all of this leads to greater mental clarity in life.Enjoy!To connect with Max:WebsiteInstagram

This week we've got former NCAA runner (and current marathoner), running/life coach Matt Mills on the show.Runners AND non-runners, I encourage you to give this one a listen. I assure you there is value for all. Matt is such a down to earth guy who gives advice based on real experience that he has had from personal experience and from coaching clients.We get into how running can be a meditation/stillness practice in our lives. So much so that Matt actually stopped meditating and doubled down on running because of the profound effects that he was experiencing.We talk how meditation AND running can be SO fricken hard to get into. But once you're in, the feelings that ensue can sure be addicting.Matt tells us why he recommends anyone getting into running delete the popular app Strava.How the body, mind and spirit are SO interconnected and when one of these areas are out of balance, the whole system crumbles (i.e. injury, i.e. burnout etc.)PURPOSE, how we can incorporate mini purposes in our daily actions and runs to achieve serious results.And more.
