Owen Hanson went from USC athlete to international cocaine kingpin, Sinaloa cartel associate, and federal inmate serving a 21-year sentence — but his story did not end in prison. In this raw conversation with Randall Kaplan, Owen reveals how he survived addiction, cartel violence, prison PTSD, betrayal, and rock bottom before rebuilding his life through discipline, redemption, and entrepreneurship.Owen Hanson's story is one of the most shocking and intense redemption stories ever told on In Search of Excellence. Known as “The Cocaine Quarterback,” Owen opens up about the decisions that led him from college athletics and gambling into the world of drug trafficking, his connection to the Sinaloa cartel, and the terrifying consequences of crossing into that life.Randall Kaplan digs deep into the moments most interviews miss: the role of relationships and connections, the work ethic that fueled Owen's rise, the addiction that nearly killed him, and the prison sentence that ultimately saved his life.Owen also shares what life was really like inside a federal prison — from withdrawal and six-by-eight cells to loyalty, PTSD, survival rules, and the entrepreneurial instincts that helped him build a protein ice cream business behind bars. What started with a frozen protein shake became “King Pin Creamery,” a prison-side hustle that revealed the same business instincts Owen now wants to use legally.This episode also explores Owen's second chance: his legal break through a Rule 35 motion, the corrupt attorney case that helped reduce his sentence, his work today speaking to athletes and at-risk youth, and his mission to prevent others from making the same mistakes.Timestamps00:00 - The cartel moment Owen says he will never forget01:00 - Why USC's network changed the direction of his life03:08 - The work ethic behind becoming one of America's biggest cocaine dealers04:19 - Why Owen says prison may have saved him from dying05:28 - The prison “dance” every inmate has to learn fast06:47 - The loyalty question Owen still refuses to compromise on12:21 - The day Owen considered ending his life14:15 - How a frozen protein shake became a prison business empire19:01 - The prison handshake deal that created a salt monopoly23:01 - The sounds that still trigger Owen's prison PTSD24:21 - The legal twist that took years off his sentence34:47 - How Mark Wahlberg became connected to The Cocaine Quarterback38:20 - Why Owen now speaks to athletes for free40:31 - Owen's biggest regret, scariest moment, and message to everyone watching46:32 - Owen's reaction to Randall Kaplan's Extreme PreparationAbout Owen HansonOwen Hanson, also known as “The Cocaine Quarterback,” is a former USC athlete, entrepreneur, and the subject of the documentary The Cocaine Quarterback.

Owen Hanson went from a disciplined kid in Redondo Beach to a USC walk-on football player surrounded by celebrities, pro athletes, and power — before one bad decision became the rush he chased for years. In this raw conversation with Randall Kaplan, Owen reveals the true story behind **Netflix's The Cocaine Quarterback**, his rise from campus hustles to a global drug and gambling operation, his connection to the Sinaloa cartel, and the prison sentence that forced him to rebuild his life.Owen Hanson's story is not just a crime story — it is a story about ambition, insecurity, adrenaline, ego, consequences, and redemption.Randall Kaplan sits down with Owen for a gripping Part 1 conversation that begins with Owen's childhood in Redondo Beach, including his father's strict discipline, his parents' separation, and the early emotional wounds that shaped his identity. Owen opens up about feeling abandoned, learning not to cry, and channeling pain into sports, competition, and survival.From there, the conversation moves into Owen's earliest signs of entrepreneurial instinct — including a childhood gambling hustle with quarters and lunch bets — before tracing how those same instincts later became dangerous when mixed with money, status, and the need to belong.The episode also dives into Owen's rise at USC, where he became a walk-on football player during one of the most iconic eras in college football. Surrounded by celebrities, athletes, parties, and status, Owen explains how access became power — and how that power slowly turned into a criminal network.Randall and Owen then unpack the expansion from campus dealing to a sports betting business, then to international money movement, cartel connections, Australia, cocaine, laundering schemes, and the moment everything began closing in.Timestamps00:00 - The moment Owen realized he was in too deep00:42 - How a USC athlete became connected to the Sinaloa cartel01:52 - The childhood wound Owen says shaped everything07:00 - The 11-year-old hustle that revealed his future instincts10:54 - The line between strategy and manipulation16:47 - The USC setback that sent Owen to Tijuana21:08 - The first lie that gave him the rush he chased for years23:16 - How Owen became the only non-scholarship player to make the USC football team25:11 - Inside the USC football celebrity machine36:16 - The gambling customer who changed Owen's life forever42:38 - The million-dollar-a-day offer that pulled him overseas1:36:39 - How prison became the beginning of Owen's redemptionAbout Owen HansonOwen Hanson is a former USC athlete, entrepreneur, public speaker, and the subject of the Netflix documentary “The Cocaine Quarterback”, produced by Mark Wahlberg.

In this episode, Dr. Vikram Raya sits down with Dr. Jessie Mahoney to explore why hustle isn't the solution most physicians think it is.While many doctors chase productivity, income, and performance, they often feel more depleted, disconnected, and unsatisfied. Jessie introduces a different approach, one rooted in nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and energy alignment.This conversation challenges the belief that doing more leads to fulfillment and instead reveals how shifting into flow creates sustainable success, clarity, and peace.“You don't need to do more to feel better. You need to operate from a different state. When you shift your nervous system, everything else starts to change.”~ Dr. Jessie MahoneyIn This Episode:Why high performance without purpose leads to burnoutHow your nervous system and not your schedule is driving your resultsThe difference between hustle energy and flow energyWhy physicians are trained to never feel satisfiedSimple ways to create calm, clarity, and presence in your dayHow to rebuild self-trust after years of external validationWhy energy management matters more than time managementDr. Jessie Mahoney's Framework for FlowRegulate your nervous system before trying to optimize your scheduleReplace constant hustle with intentional pauses and awarenessBuild capacity through rest, presence, and recovery—not more outputPractice micro-moments of mindfulness throughout your dayReconnect with your internal signals instead of relying on external validationRedefine success from doing more to feeling alignedConnect with Dr. Jessie Mahoney:Website: www.jessiemahoneymd.comCoaching & Retreats: www.pauseandpresence.comPodcast: Healing Medicine PodcastConnect with Vikram:
What does it really take to build a company from one store in Austin, Texas into Whole Foods Market, a global brand with more than 540 stores, $22 billion in annual sales, and a $13.7 billion acquisition by Amazon?John Mackey, co-founder and former CEO of Whole Foods, joins Randall Kaplan to reveal the hard-earned lessons behind entrepreneurship, resilience, fear, failure, raising capital, work ethic, conscious capitalism, and the life-changing moments that shaped one of America's most iconic business founders.Key TakeawaysFear is the biggest limiter of human potential. John explains why fear of failure, fear of judgment, and even fear of success stop people from answering their own “hero's journey.”Failure only becomes failure when you quit. From getting cut from the basketball team to losing money in the early days of Whole Foods, John shows how setbacks can become turning points.No job is beneath you. Dishwashing, bussing tables, bagging groceries, and entry-level work build discipline, humility, work ethic, and service.Entrepreneurs must learn to sell the dream. Whether raising $45,000 from friends and family or pitching venture capitalists on Sand Hill Road, persistence and conviction matter.Business is a community of relationships. The Whole Foods flood taught John that customers, team members, suppliers, investors, and lenders are all stakeholders in a shared mission.About Randall KaplanRandall Kaplan is a serial entrepreneur, investor, professional coach, and the host of In Search of Excellence, where he interviews world-class entrepreneurs, leaders, athletes, entertainers, and high achievers about the habits, failures, mindsets, and preparation behind extraordinary success.Randall is the co-founder of Akamai Technologies, a global leader in cloud services and cybersecurity, and was an early investor in companies including Google.

You've read the book. You nodded at every page. And then you changed absolutely nothing. Sound familiar?Nir Eyal helped Silicon Valley build the systems that capture your attention — then turned around and wrote the books on how to fight back. Hooked became the playbook for habit-forming products. Indistractable showed you how to resist them. And now Beyond Belief cracks open the real reason most men read all of it, agree with all of it, and still don't change.It's not discipline. It's not information. It's belief. Specifically, the stories you've been telling yourself about who you are, what you're capable of, and whether change is actually possible for someone like you. Nir calls them limiting beliefs — and he spent six years researching how to replace them with something better.This one hits different if you've ever blamed your ADHD, your past, your upbringing, or the algorithm for the gap between who you are and who you know you could be.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why 90% of distraction isn't your phone — it's a feelingThe motivation triangle: behavior and benefit fail without beliefHow a diagnosis becomes a cage — and how to break outThe man who almost died from a placebo overdoseRichter's rats: how one belief produced 240x more persistenceWhy to-do lists are broken — and what to do insteadFREE RESOURCE FROM NIR:5-Minute Belief Change Guide — nirandfar.com/beyondbeliefliveFOLLOW NIR EYAL:Website & free resources: nirandfar.comBooks: Hooked, Indistractable, Beyond Belief — AmazonGo Deeper here are Three Supporting EPISODES FROM MTM:Ep. 92 — Overcoming ProcrastinationEp. 121 — Managing Your Mind: How to Kick Out Negative ThoughtsEp. 138 — Curiosity Is Key to Breaking Men Free from Judgment and RuminationFollow MTM: SUBSCRIBE - Thursday Three Things or Text MTM to 33777: newsletter.focusnowtraining.comFREE Training Content or Corporate Workshop: focusnowtraining.comMore Episodes & Resources: mentalkingmindfulness.comCoaching with Will: willnotfear.comBook Jon to Speak: jonmacaskill.comCo-produced by Robert Lopez | cratesaudio.comHosted on Ausha.

Mindfulness is a $2 billion industry. It's in apps, corporate programs, retreats, and workplace wellness modules. And men are more burned out, disconnected, and distracted than ever. So is mindfulness actually working?Sean Fargo is a former Buddhist monk who spent two years in a Thai monastery before deciding the world needed these teachings more than the monastery needed another monk. His platform, has reached over 20 million people. He trained under the teachers at Spirit Rock. And he's the man who certified Jon as a mindfulness meditation teacher.This conversation goes beyond the apps and the retreats into what's actually blocking men from presence — grief they've never acknowledged, purpose they've never defined, and values they've never chosen for themselves. Sean ends the episode with a live mindfulness practice. Don't skip it.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why the real problem isn't pace or tech — it's that most men are moving faster than they can feelThe difference between outer purpose and inner purpose — and why outer goals collapse under pressureHow grief is silently blocking thousands of men's meditation practice — and what to do about itWhat the Buddha called the most powerful mindfulness practice: awareness of deathWhy Sean wants to go out of business — and what that vision says about where mindfulness needs to goHow to ask yourself the one question that cuts through all the noise: what would I like for myself?FOLLOW SEAN FARGO:mindfulnessexercises.comLinkedInTOP 3 SIMILAR EPISODES FROM MTM:Ep. 140 — Can AI Meditations Replace Real Teachers and Be Effective? with Dr. Steve HaberlinEp. 93 — The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself with Dr. Kristin NeffEp. 73 — Dr. James Doty: Neurosurgeon & Author of Into the Magic ShopStart Your Mindful Journey:SUBSCRIBE - Thursday Three Things or Text MTM to 33777: newsletter.focusnowtraining.comFREE Training Content or Corporate Workshop: focusnowtraining.comMore Episodes & Resources: mentalkingmindfulness.comCoaching with Will: willnotfear.comBook Jon to Speak: jonmacaskill.comCo-produced by Robert Lopez | cratesaudio.comHosted on Ausha.

Send us Fan MailHas your AI scribe ever produced garbage notes for days on end? Has Epic ever crashed mid-clinic and sent you into a spiral? And did a little voice in your head whisper, "Maybe I shouldn't have been relying on that in the first place"?Yeah. We need to talk about that voice.In this episode, we're getting honest about our relationship with the tools we use — technology, AI scribes, in-person scribes, and the systems that are supposed to make our lives easier. Because when those tools fail, a lot of us don't just get frustrated. We turn it inward. And that's costing us way more than a bad day of notes.Here's what we cover:1. What it really means when the tools fail: When a tool stops working, it's easy to spiral into "I never should have depended on this." But that thought is a trap. A physician client hit a 10-day stretch where her AI scribe was producing unusable notes — and instead of just getting through it, she found herself arguing with the tool and feeling like she'd forgotten how to do notes at all. Sound familiar? We dig into why this happens and how to stop letting tool failures become a referendum on your judgment.2. Tools are here to serve you: Not the other way around. When Epic came on the scene, it wasn't built just to help you document. It was built to capture revenue — and suddenly doctors were spending more time serving the system than serving their patients. The same creep can happen with AI. We talk about recognizing when you've crossed from "this tool helps me" to "I'm working for the tool" — and how to course-correct fast.3. Tools will not replace you: Patients are feeding their MRI reports into ChatGPT… and then showing up in your office anyway. Because they need a human. We explore what AI can and can't do — and why your expertise, your judgment, and your ability to catch what the tool got wrong is exactly what makes you irreplaceable.The bottom line: You deserve help. You deserve tools that make your life easier. And when those tools fail, the answer isn't shame — it's a Plan B.Connect with Megan:Instagram: @MeganMeloMDEmail: megan@healthierforgood.comCoaching discovery call: Schedule here Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

Don't let this war pull you off center.The news is loud, the headlines are relentless, and your nervous system is responding to bombs on the other side of the world as if they're falling outside your door. That's not weakness — that's wiring. And it's exactly what the media is designed to exploit.Jon and Will recorded this on March 18, 2026 — live escalation, real anxiety, no sides taken. Jon draws on his experience as a retired Navy SEAL Commander who still receives active shelter-in-place missile alerts from Bahrain.

Dr. Kelly Blodgett returns to The Root of the Matter for a heartfelt conversation about his new book, Feel Whole Again, and the profound intersection of psychology, human connection, and dentistry. With a background in psychology and over 30 years in practice, Dr. Blodgett shares why understanding a patient's mindset, emotions, and intuition is just as important as clinical expertise. This episode dives deep into the power of truly listening, the limitations of symptom-focused healthcare, and how treating the whole person (not just the teeth) can transform lives.What You'll LearnWhy Dr. Blodgett wrote Feel Whole Again and how his psychology degree shaped his approach to dentistryThe often-overlooked connection between thoughts, beliefs, and physical health outcomesReal patient stories of transformation, from feeling hopeless to reclaiming vitalityWhy biological dentistry treats the mouth as a whole system, and why that matters for predictable healingThe role of nutrition and prep work before dental surgeryHow social isolation and mindset can be the missing pieces in chronic illnessWhat to look for (and ask) when choosing a biological dentistThe energy component of oral health, and why removing toxicity is essentialKey Quotes"Listen to the patient. He's telling you the diagnosis.""Every cell of your body is listening to your thoughts."Patient Transformation StoriesDr. Blodgett shares two powerful cases of women from Seattle who felt like they were losing hope in their health journeys. One, a chronic smoker who hadn't chewed real food in 20 years, went through a comprehensive protocol of nutrition, mindset work, and full-mouth rehabilitation, and by the end of the year, she was biting through sandwiches and kissing her husband without worry. The other, a former triathlete whose health tanked after incomplete dental work, underwent proper cavitation and bone cleaning and is now back to training for triathlons.Resources MentionedFeel Whole Again by Dr. Kelly Blodgett, available on Amazon (ebook, paperback, hardback)IABDM (International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine): iabdm.orgBio Dental Global Standard by Dr. Dominic NischwitzMegan Barnett, Functional NutritionistRoot Cause Protocol (Morley Robbins)Connect with Dr. Kelly BlodgettPractice Website: blodgettdentalcare.comCoaching & Speaking: drkellyjblodgett.comConnect with Dr. Carver Join the 6-Week Gum Disease Course: https://reversegumdiseaseinsixweeks.info/optinpageBook Your Personalized Consultation: https://calendly.com/drcarver-1/health-coaching-consult?month=2025-10Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

When you've been in an emotionally abusive relationship, the need for clarity can feel all-consuming. You want to know why they did what they did — why they lied, withdrew, or turned cold. You believe that if you can just understand their behavior, you'll finally be able to find peace.Clarity from someone who manipulates and distorts reality rarely exists — at least not in the way survivors hope it will. The search for answers becomes part of the trap, keeping you focused on their motives instead of your own healing.I break down how the cycle of abuse keeps survivors waiting for closure that never comes, how trauma bonds form from confusion and intermittent tenderness, and how to start shifting your focus from understanding them to understanding yourself.You'll learn:Why abusers thrive in ambiguity and confusionHow seeking clarity can keep you trauma-bondedWhat real clarity looks like (and where to find it)How to stop analyzing their behavior and start rebuilding your peaceIf you're stuck in the endless loop of “why,” this episode will help you turn that question inward — toward your boundaries, your self-respect, and your healing.Mentioned in this episode:Emotional Abuse Breakthrough Course: https://jessicaknight.thinkific.com/Unhooked: The Private Podcast + Course on the Cycle of Abuse: https://jessicaknight.thinkific.com/courses/unhookedSubstack: Hit Me Baby One More Time: https://jessicaknightcoaching.substack.comCoaching and Resources at EmotionalAbuseCoach.comSupport the show*Please Note: there is a long intro that explains my services.
