Podcasts about giving back

Your body does not fail all at once. Aging starts when cells quietly shift into survival mode and never come back out. In this episode, you go inside the thinking of a true medical outlier to understand how stress, travel, toxins, and metabolic overload reprogram cells, shut down energy, and accelerate aging, and how restoring mitochondrial function can reverse that trajectory from the inside out. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Theodore Achacoso and Boomer Anderson, leaders in Health Optimization Medicine and Practice. Dr. Achacoso is a physician-scientist and the founding pioneer of Health Optimization Medicine, known for his work on cellular networks, metabolomics, and mitochondrial function. Boomer Anderson is the CEO of Smarter Not Harder and Troscriptions, where he focuses on translating complex biology into practical tools for human performance and longevity. Together, they unpack how cells respond to perceived threats through the Cell Danger Response, why mitochondria control energy, inflammation, and repair, and why chasing disease labels misses the real drivers of aging. The discussion covers methylene blue as an electron recycler, why LDL cholesterol plays a role in detoxification and immune signaling, how fasting and ketosis shift metabolism between repair and growth, and why sleep optimization, circadian rhythm, and light exposure matter even more when you travel. They also explore neuroplasticity, consciousness, nootropics, supplements, and why health optimization works best when you restore balance instead of forcing outcomes. You'll Learn: • What the Cell Danger Response is and how it reshapes aging and performance • How mitochondria sense stress before symptoms appear • Why cellular energy controls resilience, sleep, and longevity • How methylene blue supports mitochondrial electron flow • Why fasting and ketosis shift metabolism between repair and growth • How travel, light, and circadian disruption affect aging • Why very low LDL can impair detoxification and immune signaling • Why real anti-aging starts at the cellular level, not with disease labels Thank you to our sponsors!

Most practice owners think charity is something you do after the business is successful — once there's more time, more margin, or less stress. But what if giving back isn't the reward for success… what if it's the catalyst? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club Podcast, Nathan Shields sits down with longtime friend and entrepreneur Will Humphreys to unpack one of the most overlooked drivers of sustainable growth, culture, and fulfillment: building meaningful partnerships with charitable organizations. Drawing from deeply personal experiences — from local community initiatives to life-changing work in Africa — Will shares how aligning business purpose with charitable impact transformed not just his companies, but his leadership, his team culture, and his perspective on success itself. Together, they explore how generosity creates momentum inside organizations, why charitable partnerships improve recruiting and retention, and how purpose-driven businesses outperform those built purely around profit. They dive deep into:Why charitable giving isn't a “nice-to-have,” but a powerful leadership leverHow partnering with charities strengthens culture, retention, and recruitingThe connection between profit, purpose, and long-term sustainabilityHow even small, local initiatives can create outsized impactWhy giving back reshapes mindset, reduces burnout, and restores perspectiveHow involving your team in charitable efforts turns values into lived behaviorWhat practice owners can learn about leadership, resilience, and gratitude from global communities If you've ever felt burned out, disconnected, or stuck chasing growth without fulfillment, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, success, and the true role your business can play in the world.

Michelle Etchebarren shares an inspiring journey from struggling single mother of four to founder of Attorneys in Motion, a groundbreaking legal tech company that transformed how law firms handle court appearances. But her story doesn't end there. At the ten-year mark of her company's success, Michelle founded the Attorneys in Motion Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to supporting and empowering women-owned law firms and businesses. The episode opens with a striking reality: women make up just 39.51% of the 1.3 million lawyers in the US, and only 27% of women who graduate from law school go on to own their own law firm or become partners. The gender pay gap persists at every income level. Michelle speaks candidly about being the only female founder in her specific business space and how the legal industry remains firmly male-dominated. Michelle's origin story is one of resilience. Starting as a single mother with no resources, poor credit, and limited financial literacy, she worked in a law firm during the 2008 mortgage crisis. There, she inspired a young attorney fresh out of law school to start her own bankruptcy law firm focused on helping people recover from financial hardship rather than making false promises. Together, they built that firm from nothing—using creative, low-cost marketing strategies like county fairs and phone book ads—before Michelle eventually pivoted to build something for herself and her children. The breakthrough came when Michelle recognized a problem in the legal services industry: court appearance attorneys were still using outdated technology like faxes. Inspired by the Uber model, she envisioned an app-based solution where attorneys could instantly request coverage for court appearances. It took about a year to develop with web developers, but Attorneys in Motion became the first company to use technology in this way, eventually growing into a nationwide business generating millions in revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic hit hard. When courts shut down completely, the business lost millions of dollars. But this crisis forced Michelle into deep personal development work. She realized that while she had achieved financial success, she wasn't fulfilled. Her original "why"—providing for her four children—had evolved, and she needed a new, more powerful purpose. This realization, combined with her study of Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich," Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning," and Tony Robbins' Business Mastery program, led her to a transformative insight: "The secret to living is giving. When you're working for a higher purpose outside of yourself, you're living purposefully." At the ten-year mark of her company, Michelle reflected on her journey and the isolation she had experienced. She didn't have mentors or even know what mentorship was. She remembered times she "cried herself to sleep" wondering if she would end up homeless. She didn't want other women to experience that same struggle alone. This became the genesis of the Attorneys in Motion Foundation, with a mission to help women succeed at a level above her own. The foundation addresses a critical gap in legal education: law schools teach lawyers how to practice law, but they don't teach business acumen. When attorneys are overwhelmed by business management—accounting, marketing, systems, delegation—they can't focus on quality legal work. They fall into scarcity mindset and cut corners, which is detrimental to clients and their own integrity. Michelle emphasizes that while psychology and business mechanics are both important, success is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. The foundation's unique approach pairs financial grants with mandatory twelve-month coaching programs. Money alone doesn't create sustainable success; women need strategic guidance, accountability, systems, and connections to resources. The foundation conducts a two-month trial period to assess commitment, requires weekly coaching check-ins, and connects recipients with pro-bono services from sponsors. The goal is to set women up for real, lasting success. Michelle also addresses the internalized biases that even women carry about other women. She admits to her own automatic biases—like assuming a sports car driver is male—and recognizes that these thought patterns have been "bred into us" since childhood. Changing this narrative requires conscious effort and intentional retraining of our first instincts. On practical matters, Michelle shares advice for entrepreneurs on a budget: build community relationships instead of spending on expensive Google ads, find your niche and become the "go-to" expert for a specific community, and think creatively about marketing. She emphasizes the importance of self-grace, especially for working mothers, and the need for financial literacy when starting a business. The foundation is still in its infancy, currently working with a few grant recipients, but Michelle's vision is to help fifty women per year as funding grows. She reminds listeners that many successful businesses start small and gutsy, but if they continue to work on growth, they naturally evolve and expand.

The application process includes filling out a form, participating in an interview, and entering a two-month trial period to ensure both the foundation and applicant are committed to success.

How can you use your pet care business to make a bigger impact? Cheyenne Williams returns to share how community involvement has transformed her life and her business. From leading suicide prevention walks to supporting foster care initiatives, Cheyenne explains how giving back is not just about writing checks—it's about connection, purpose, and passion. She shares the challenges of balancing business demands with emotional nonprofit work, and how boundaries and clarity of purpose keep her grounded. This conversation is a powerful reminder that we were whole people before our businesses, and we'll be whole people long after. Main topics: Volunteering through your pet business Suicide prevention advocacy Building client relationships through shared values Balancing burnout and service Setting boundaries with community involvement Main takeaway: "What is the point of having a business without giving back?" As pet sitters and dog walkers, we're already deeply connected to our communities—but what if we went a step further? Giving back doesn't always mean writing a big check. It can look like sponsoring a school event, volunteering with a local rescue, or using your newsletter to highlight important causes. When we give back, we're not just running a business—we're becoming part of something bigger. And the ripple effect is real: stronger client relationships, deeper personal fulfillment, and a lasting impact beyond the leash. What's one way your business is giving back this season? About our guest: Cheyenne Williams is a dynamic entrepreneur, dedicated wife, and proud mom of two incredible daughters. As the owner of Shiney Day Specialized Pet Care, she leads a multi-award-winning business, most recently honored with the SRQ Best Of Bronze Award for 2025. Cheyenne is also a devoted pet mom to a lively household that includes three dogs, four cats, and a hedgehog. With a degree in Veterinary Nursing, Cheyenne's expertise and compassion shine through in both her professional and personal life. She was recognized with the prestigious Women That Roar Award in 2024 for her leadership and impact in the community. Beyond her business, Cheyenne serves as Board Chair for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and plays a key role as Walk Chair for three of their major events, attends legislative meetings in Washington DC and attends the annual Leadership Conference. She is also PTO President for her daughter's K–8 charter school, and a passionate advocate for vulnerable communities through her work with Guard Against Trafficking (where she is a pending board member), Foster the Family Florida as a community partner, and serves on the Fundraising Committee for Satchel's Last Resort. Cheyenne's life is a testament to compassion, advocacy, and service—both in the lives of animals and the people in her community.

Alex Harper grew up in Cleveland, Ohio with a good family and a normal upbringing, but at just 16 years old he made a decision that would change his life forever. While still in high school and later in college, Alex began robbing banks, eventually landing on the radar of federal authorities and being sent to federal prison for the first time. After his release, he tried to turn his life around, but bad decisions and old patterns pulled him back in, leading to more bank robberies and a second prison sentence. In this episode, Alex shares how he went from a regular kid to a repeat federal inmate, what federal prison was really like, and how he eventually found his purpose and truly turned his life around. _____________________________________________ #TrueCrime #PrisonStories #FederalPrison #BankRobbery #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #RedemptionStory #LockedInWithIanBick _____________________________________________ Thank you to K9S.ORG for sponsoring this episode: Donate anytime at https://k9s.org/ Connect with Alex Harper: https://www.instagram.com/votealexharper/?hl=en Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Robbing Banks at 16 – How It All Started 01:35 First Arrest, Probation & Learning the System 04:22 Life After Prison: Supervision, Temptation & Pressure 06:00 Family, Childhood & Where Things Went Wrong 09:00 Early Gambling Addiction & Sports Betting Obsession 13:25 High School Double Life & First Bank Robbery 15:53 Escalation: More Robberies & How He Avoided Getting Caught 21:22 Bank Robbery Tactics, Mistakes & Hard Lessons Learned 25:54 College Life, Personality & Living Two Lives 29:44 Law School Dreams vs. Gambling Addiction 35:23 Getting Caught: The Moment Everything Fell Apart 41:31 First Time in Prison: Survival, Hustling & Reality Check 53:54 Running Gambling Operations Behind Bars 01:03:12 Released From Prison… Then Slipping Back 01:13:20 Second Sentence & Destroying Family Relationships 01:27:00 Depression, Accountability & Choosing Change 01:37:20 Life After Prison: Recidivism, Struggles & Reality 01:55:24 Finding Purpose, Giving Back & Redefining Success 02:08:00 Why the System Makes It Hard to Stay Free (Final Thoughts) Learn more about your ad choices.

Have you ever looked successful on paper… yet felt like something was quietly off behind the scenes? Like you were winning the game, but not really winning at life? That's exactly the tension we unpack in this episode and trust me, it goes way deeper than money or business tactics.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Ben Wilson for a real, grounded, no-BS conversation about wealth, legacy, faith, and what it actually means to live a life that feels aligned. Ben is the Owner and Broker of Team Wilson Real Estate Partners and one of the most intentional humans I know. His team owns and manages over $300 million in real estate assets and has surpassed $1 billion in total sales, but what really stood out to me from the moment we met wasn't the numbers. It was how he shows up as a husband, father, leader, and man of faith. This episode matters because Ben doesn't just talk about success; he lives it in a way that doesn't sacrifice family, integrity, or joy along the way.We dive into how pain, not ambition, was the catalyst that led Ben into real estate and ultimately reshaped his entire approach to life. One of the biggest takeaways is the idea that you can be “winning” financially and still be losing if you don't understand the rules of the game you're playing. Ben breaks down a powerful framework using the baseball diamond to explain why character has to come first, community second, and contribution third, and how reversing that order creates chaos, stress, and burnout.Another huge lesson from this conversation is Ben's seven non-negotiables for life and leadership. Simple on the surface, but profound in practice: show up, be consistent, have a great attitude, commit for the long haul, live with faith and passion, be willing to pay the price, and always do the next right thing. These aren't motivational quotes. They're daily filters Ben uses to guide his family, his businesses, and his decisions.We also talk deeply about legacy not as something you leave someday, but something you live right now. Ben shares why he believes true wealth is about building enough resources to create harmony across mind, body, and spirit, so you can ultimately give it all away. And maybe my favorite part of the episode? The reminder that fun isn't optional. It's strategic. Focus, fearlessness, and freedom aren't just nice ideas. They're the formula for a life that actually feels worth living.This conversation is packed with wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone who wants more than just financial success. If you're building a business, raising a family, or trying to figure out how to do both without losing yourself in the process, this episode will meet you right where you are.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Ben says I chose to leave a job so that I could pursue my calling each and every day and literally share it with the world and fill everybody's cup, including my own.Connect with Benhttp://www.facebook.com/TeamWilsonRealEstatehttps://www.instagram.com/teamwilsonrep/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiIiynkk0Gw_rBhFZ1ZHN2ghttps://www.instagram.com/teamwilsonrep/https://twitter.com/TeamWilsonREPFind Ben on this website: https://www.teamwilsontn.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Thirty years ago, Matt Friedman, CEO and founder of The Mekong Club, worked as a senior USAID public health official across Asia, focused on education and prevention of HIV/AIDS in small rural communities.As part of Matt's work, he visited many shelters where he repeatedly heard the same themes of horror. His first interview was with a fifteen-year-old girl telling him she was sexually abused over seven thousand times. She did this for two years until she was forced to leave because she suffered from various diseases that turned customers away.Matt soon realised that, just as this young girl had been exploited for sex, millions more were being exploited across the world. This exploitation was happening in the sex industry but also permeates global supply chains, from factories to farms to fishing boats.Matt began to work in the United Nations in the anti-trafficking world, where he worked closely with the public and private sectors across Asia. During his tenure, he noticed a gap in engagement with the private sector in their anti-trafficking efforts. Not because they didn't want to, but because they feared being named or shamed for approaching a UN official to ask for help.As a result, Matt left the United Nations and started The Mekong Club in Asia's financial centre, Hong Kong, to provide a safe space for companies worldwide to work together to help identify and eliminate forced labour in the private sector.

What turns a kid from Brooklyn into a leader who builds and rebuilds big businesses, then starts over again by choice? Meet Mike Tepedino, Founder and Managing Partner of Blue Light Capital, whose path runs from six gritty years in loan workouts on the “what can go wrong” side of real estate became the foundation for everything that followed.We get into the leap to brokerage, the Chinese-restaurant meeting that set up HFF's rise, and the 2019 sale to JLL for about $2 billion, where scale brought new tools and reach but also a fresh look at purpose and timing.Now Mike is building again with Blue Light Capital, stepping into an underserved middle-market bridge space in the roughly $15 to $50 million range, and pairing that with BLNext, a nonprofit that trains college and pro athletes for real estate careers with 150 hours of Excel and Argus plus one-to-one mentors who have walked the path.If you care about discipline, people, and timing, this conversation delivers hard lessons and practical wisdom with zero fluff.
