Why Your Pest Control Website Is NOT a Brochure (What a SMART Pest Control Website Really Is)Your website should be your best salesperson, not just a pretty online brochure.In this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, host Casey Lewis breaks down what a modern pest control website really needs to look like if you want to dominate local search—on Google, on phones, through voice search, and even inside AI Overviews.Casey explains why a website is actually a collection of organized, categorized, and optimized pages that each serve a specific purpose: attract visitors, answer their questions, and convert them into paying, recurring customers. You'll learn how search behavior is rapidly shifting away from simple keyword queries and toward intent, behavior, mobile, voice search, and FAQ-style content that AI can easily understand and trust.

In this groundbreaking first in-studio episode of The Authentic Dentist Podcast, Dr. Allison House and Shawn Zajas sit down with Adrian Lefler, founder of My Social Practice, to unpack the seismic shifts reshaping dental marketing and practice management.Adrian's journey into dentistry began unconventionally—emerging from bankruptcy in 2009, he discovered how to get businesses on the front page of Google and partnered with a colleague who had access to 3,500 dental practice contacts. What started as survival became a 15-year deep dive into understanding the unique challenges dentists face in marketing their practices.The conversation reveals why dentists make ideal clients: they're intelligent, ethical, pay their bills on time, and navigate extraordinary complexity managing both clinical excellence and business operations. Yet this same complexity creates vulnerability to marketing companies that don't understand the nuances of local, relationship-based dental practices versus national brand strategies.Adrian delivers immediately actionable insights, emphasizing that Google Reviews remain the most critical marketing investment. With three out of four potential patients checking reviews before making decisions, a robust Google Review profile becomes the filtering system for all other marketing efforts—making or breaking even six-figure advertising campaigns.The discussion takes a fascinating turn into AI's disruption of traditional search engine optimization. As Google integrates AI overviews at the top of search results, conventional advertising models are collapsing. Ad costs have doubled or tripled as fewer people scroll past AI-generated answers to click on paid advertisements. Adrian explains how AI doesn't just match keywords—it analyzes context, sentiment, and nuance in longer conversational search queries, fundamentally changing how dental practices must approach content creation.Perhaps most provocative is the revelation about practice management system data ownership. While doctors legally own their patient data, PMS companies charge multiple third-party vendors for API access to that same information—costs ultimately passed to dentists. Adrian proposes a revolutionary solution: an open-source PMS where dentists receive payment when vendors access their data, potentially reducing costs by hundreds of dollars monthly while maintaining superior functionality.The conversation doesn't shy away from emerging challenges: cloud-based systems that hold data hostage when contracts end, the rapid proliferation of AI products promising to revolutionize everything from scheduling to note-taking, and the consolidation wave that will inevitably follow as successful solutions absorb competitors.Adrian's vision for dentistry's future includes AI receptionists that never tire, conversational interfaces replacing traditional search, and the potential for collaborative dental centers—hospital-like facilities where practitioners share expensive technology like CBCT machines, CEREC equipment, and specialists under one roof, dramatically reducing individual overhead while elevating care quality.This episode challenges dentists to think differently about marketing, data ownership, and practice structure. It's a masterclass in understanding not just what's changing, but why it matters and how to position yourself for success in an AI-transformed landscape.Subscribe to the podcast on APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-authentic-dentist/id1487586274Or SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qapfaNRkcIlCjgIsftb60?si=d02c74cf4f924897

" We're evolving the [escape room] experience towards something that's more theatrical, with puzzling, gaming, and immersive art all together." Magnifico is currently (as of November 2025) the top escape room in the world, as voted on by experienced escape room enthusiasts. For 2.5 hours, we were transported to another world where magic is real and anything is possible. This game was a culmination of Escaparium's signature style: epically sized and meticulously built sets with large-scale puzzles that involve the whole team, and meaningful stories told through both gameplay and theatrical moments featuring live actors. Jonathan Driscoll and Sacha St. Denis are the owners and driving force behind Escaparium, in Laval, Canada (just outside of Montreal). Since their previous appearance on REPOD, they've cemented their spot as one of the top companies in world. Last year, in 2024, they captured the #1 and #3 spots on the TERPECA rankings, with their games Magnifico and Forgotten Cathedral, respectively. Wardrobe for Sale ranked at #14, and Lost Island of the Voodoo Queen ranked at #37 in the world. It's clearly not a fluke. Escaparium is consistently creating world-class games, year after year, and when they're not busy opening new games, they're renovating and remodeling old experiences. Rain Corp. has been given a make-over into Ctrl Alt Reboot. They are also overhauling their lobby once again, creating an immersive bar experience featuring a crashed space ship. Jonathan and Sacha joined us to talk about their new games, what's driving them, and where they're getting inspiration. My biggest takeaway from this conversation was that they are very involved in the escape room community and industry. They are constantly traveling and playing games. They attend every convention. For them, it's always about the details. If even one small detail inspires their next idea, Jonathan says it's gold. That's the mindset they instill in their whole team as well.   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Ever heard these myths about getting leads for your home cleaning business? Myth #1: You need to be everywhere on social media to get found. Myth #2: Only big cleaning companies can compete on Google. Myth #3: Google reviews don't really matter unless you have hundreds. I'm about to spill the truth behind these beliefs—and trust me, it's not what you think. Stick around, because I'll break down what really works (and what's just hype)!   Gabe Bustos is one of the Founders of Hector Home Services Marketing, a no-BS lead generation agency built to help home service businesses book more jobs, take control of their marketing, and grow with confidence.  Before starting Hector, Gabe had run three businesses of his own and watched them all fail for one common reason: poor marketing. You can have great services, but if you can't reliably generate sales, it's over. That lesson lit a fire, and he became obsessed with mastering digital marketing strategies that deliver consistent ROI. Today, Gabe and the Hector team help home service contractors grow through local SEO and digital advertising, bringing in the highest-quality leads at the lowest possible cost — so they can get back to doing what they do best: providing amazing service and keeping local communities safe and happy.

Episode 116: Calloway County social security disability attorney Jeff Roberts, welcomes a clients to discuss why they fired a national social security disability company to work with Jeff.  They explain their journey and why they want over advice for people who ask, "Should I let a national social security disability company file my claim, instead of a local attorney?  Jeff introduces his client Austin and his wife Amy.  In Episode 110, Jeff discussed how people are often surprised with what can happen if your case needs to be appealed.  Only lawyers are permitted to appear before the judge, if the case were to go to a federal district court.  At the same time, a national company may be less open to appearing, in person, to represent you at your disability hearing.  If they're not local, they may prefer to participate via video conference, which can save them time and other factors, but may not be what's best for you.  You may want to go back and listen to Episode 110. We hope you found this episode insightful and helpful.  Thank you for listening! What Do Other Clients Think About Jeff?

In this episode of The Pest Control Marketing Domination Podcast, Casey walks you through a practical roadmap to grow your pest control company with smarter offers, better follow-up, and tighter systems behind the scenes.We start by breaking down how to organize your services into clear package pricing—think Pest Basic, Pro, and Platinum—and then stack on powerful add-ons like seasonal mosquito plans, annual termite inspections, stinging insect programs, pigeon/solar panel clean-up, and rodent exclusion. You'll hear how to tie each package to its own simple marketing funnel so your ad traffic isn't just “clicks,” it's a steady stream of leads moving toward a specific offer.From there, we dive into turning one-shot jobs into recurring revenue. Casey explains a simple 60-day follow-up workflow that checks in with one-time customers, reminds them when it's time for another treatment, and gives them an easy path to upgrade into a recurring maintenance plan.In the third segment, we dig into the real-world use of AI in your pest control office—where it actually helps (missed calls, after-hours, weekends, and peak-season overflow) and where you still need a human touch. You'll learn how an AI receptionist can quickly identify the pest problem, confirm service area, and route leads or appointments straight into your CRM.Finally, we talk about the power of using a virtual assistant (VA) to keep your CRM and pest software in sync, clean up data, maintain tags and pipelines, and make sure no lead or customer falls through the cracks. If you've ever felt like your marketing, your software, and your office staff are all out of rhythm, this section is for you.Whether you're just starting to think about packages and follow-up or you're ready to add AI and VAs into your operation, this episode gives you a clear, actionable framework you can start implementing right away.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with career ownership coach Stephanie Cordes to unpack what really drives stress during career transitions. Spoiler. it is not the change itself, it is the uncertainty. Stephanie breaks down a practical, no fluff framework for moving from fear to informed decision making. She explains how awareness, clear goals, and education can turn anxiety about leaving a corporate role, starting a business, or pivoting careers into strategic clarity. If you are stuck in a job that drains you, burned out from the corporate grind, or curious about business ownership and franchising but scared to even look, this episode gives you structured tools to reduce fear by getting better information. Real talk on mindset, money, work life goals, and why curiosity is the real career superpower. About the Guest  : Stephanie Cordes is a career ownership coach with The Entrepreneur Source, a 40 year old organization that helps professionals explore what is next in their careers. After two decades in corporate life and her own experience of burnout and misalignment, she now guides people through a structured discovery process so they can understand their goals, explore vehicles for success, and make informed choices about W 2 roles, consulting, business ownership, or franchising. Her approach is simple. knowledge over fear, data over drama. Key Takeaways   Stress in career transitions is usually not about the change itself. it is about uncertainty and not knowing your real options Awareness is step one. get brutally honest about your goals in four areas. income, lifestyle, wealth, and equity, instead of just chasing the next job title Most people have not revisited their career goals since college. you need to reassess what matters now, not at 18 Reframe “vehicles for success”. W 2 roles, consulting, buying a business, franchises, e commerce, and investing are all different ways to reach the same life goals Fear often shows up dressed as logic. “It is not the right time” or “I should just be grateful” can be False Evidence Appearing Real if you never gather data Curiosity is a real career superpower. staying open minded lets you explore paths you have zero prior experience in, which is where most people end up thriving Confidence comes from information. a structured discovery process, real data points, and validation calls with owners beat gambling your future at the career “craps table” You can be grateful for your current life and still decide it is time to pivot. gratitude and ambition are not mutually exclusive Connect with the Guest   You can connect with Stephanie Cordes and explore her complimentary career ownership coaching here.

Novelist and creative entrepreneur Kern Carter breaks down a practical creative blueprint for turning ideas into finished books and sustainable income—without chasing virality. We cover the path from self‑publishing to indie (Cormorant) and major houses (Scholastic, Penguin), how community-first marketing outperforms algorithms (Cry Magazine, a 5K+ Substack), and why emotion-led storytelling plus industry awareness wins. Kern explains how a middle‑grade novel aimed at young boys sparked word‑of‑mouth among teachers and helped move 15,000+ copies in a single year, and he shares direct advice: study your craft and study the industry.   About the Guest: Kern Carter is a novelist, essayist, and filmmaker. He's written for Penguin and Scholastic, sold 15,000+ books in a year, founded Cry Magazine, and writes the Substack Writers Are Superstars. A creative entrepreneur who became a father at 18, Kern builds platforms that elevate new voices.   Key Takeaways: At eight, Kern declared he'd be a novelist; publishing later felt “like magic” realized. He self‑published two novels, then vowed not to self‑publish again until traditionally published. Landing an agent took years; 2020 brought an indie deal (Cormorant), then offers from Scholastic and Penguin. He wrote two books in parallel; both released the same year, expanding reach and credibility. Sales crossed 15,000 largely via a Scholastic middle‑grade novel intentionally speaking to young boys. Teachers embraced the layered story and shared it; Scholastic's school distribution amplified exposure. Growth came from community, not algorithms: Cry Magazine, a Substack newsletter (5K+), direct emails. His process starts with emotion; characters' journeys ground even elements of magical realism. Writing is a necessary release, not a burden; burnout comes from life, not books. He builds platforms to open doors for other creators; storytelling deserves access, not gatekeeping. Core advice: study your craft deeply and study the industry with equal intensity. Creatives must make informed business choices—distribution, trends, costs—every creative decision is commercial. Community‑first marketing beat follower counts; real relationships outperformed vanity metrics. He invites writers to claim authority—every creative choice is both art and strategy.   Connect with the Guest  : Website : https://www.kerncarter.com/ Substack: Writers Are Superstars  Discover his books: search “Kern Carter” on your favorite bookstore platform   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"Bringing the escape room to the classroom." I might be just a teeny bit obsessed with disguising learning as play, and being tricked into learning. There is a joy to figuring things out for yourself, and iterating on past knowledge to further your skills. Besides the fun of solving puzzles, there is also a real sense of collaboration and the payoff from combining observation skills with critical thinking. Enter educator Adam Bellow. He saw the potential in escape rooms to hone the soft skills of team-building, communication, and problem solving. So he created his company, Breakout EDU, to bring escape rooms to the classroom. This comes in the form of a kit that includes multiple locks, cipher wheels, and black lights, and other props. Then on the Breakout EDU platform, teachers can choose from thousands of games, resetting the Breakout EDU kit to fit the game format. Adam joins us on Reality Escape Pod to talk about creating escape rooms for kids, especially in an academic setting. The Breakout EDU games all adhere to an academic curriculum, and also incorporate their "4 Cs" - communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. I really enjoyed learning about the "4 C" cards that students use to explore different concepts after the game. These cards ask follow-up questions like "How would this game work if you didn't play verbally?" Even as an adult, playing escape rooms has helped me learn to be a better team player. I'm glad that school kids today have this opportunity too. To learn more, visit the Breakout EDU website or check out the resources below.   Full Shownotes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik goes straight at a common executive myth: “lonely at the top.” Former CEO, five-time Ironman, and Arcqus Group founder Dusty Holcomb breaks down how isolation is often a self-selected operating system—rooted in fear and perfectionism—and how to replace it with connection discipline. We unpack identity vs. title, minimum viable discipline, keystone reflections, and why leaders should be obsessed with asking better questions, not having all the answers.   About the Guest: Dusty Holcomb is an operator-turned-coach, former CEO, five-time Ironman, and founder of The Arcqus Group. He hosts the podcast Leadership Unlocked and has kept a 28-year streak of daily leadership reflections focused on character, clarity, and service.   Key Takeaways: Isolation is often a self-selected stance driven by fear of being “the one with all the answers”; leadership is about ensuring the right questions are asked and answered. Adopt a beginner's mind: “Help me understand what I might be missing” invites collaboration without weaponizing questions. Shift from being interesting to being interested; curiosity is the fastest on-ramp to trust and connection. Identity beats perfection: define your minimum viable discipline (e.g., 100 pushups/100 situps, a short walk) so the habit survives travel, fatigue, and chaos. Pre-decide for success: make the important thing easy (systems and prep the night before) and give yourself grace when you miss—then immediately resume. Titles are temporary; you're a steward of a role. Prioritize permanent roles (parent/partner/human) so work doesn't swallow your life. Keystone moments come from reflection; journaling codifies lessons you've “paid tuition” for and lets others benefit. Build an external mentorship/counsel loop; leadership doesn't have to be lonely when you design for connection. Tactical this week: schedule one 15-minute listening block with a teammate; prune one commitment and define the replacement behavior. North-star check: Who am I becoming—and would I follow that person?   How to Connect with the Guest   LinkedIn: Dusty Holcomb Website/Newsletter: https://www.arcqusgroup.com/ Podcast: Leadership Unlocked   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Founders wear every hat—until the hats wear them out. In this straight-talk episode, Brandon Moon (CEO & Strategic Partner, TD Pine Advisors) breaks down how to go from owner-dependent chaos to scalable clarity. We unpack replacing yourself with the right operators, building simple systems, leveraging automation without losing the human touch, and shifting identity from doer to designer. If you're plateaued at 10% growth and stuck in 80-hour weeks, this conversation is your operating memo to scale sustainably, increase enterprise value, and protect your mental health.    About the Guest: Brandon Moon is CEO and Strategic Partner at TD Pine Advisors, where he helps founder-led companies reduce owner dependency, align teams, and grow valuation. He hosts “Coffee with TD Pine Advisors,” answering real questions from business owners navigating growth, change, and exit readiness.    Key Takeaways : • Owner dependency crushes enterprise value—design the business to function without you.• Audit your time: keep high-leverage work, outsource/offload bookkeeping and repeatables early.• Hire/contract operators (COO/plant manager) so you can focus on growth, not firefighting.• Automation/AI ≠ less personal; it frees time for deeper client relationships and BD.• Identity shift: move from running the business to designing the business (systems, culture, cadence).• Network weekly—your circle can be a growth engine or a cage.• Pride is a glass ceiling—surround yourself with people smarter than you to break plateaus.• Think legacy: every owner exits; build a company that thrives after you.   How to Connect with the Guest :  LinkedIn: search Brandon Moon (active on LinkedIn — best contact route). Website: tdpineadvisors.com — includes assessments and contact forms Brandon mentioned. Suggested action: take the operational/exit readiness assessments on TD Pine Advisors' site to gauge next steps.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into a provocative lens on bipolar experiences with author and facilitator Sean Blackwell. We unpack “bipolar awakenings,” trauma, kundalini/energy blocks, and Sean's approach to bipolar breathwork inspired by holotropic methods. This episode challenges purely biomedical narratives and explores how safe containers, skilled facilitation, and embodied processing may help people make meaning from intense states—without romanticizing risk. If you're navigating diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or rethinking mental health through mind–body–spirit, this conversation offers context, cautions, and next steps.   About the Guest  : Sean Blackwell is the author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder and a certified holotropic breathwork facilitator. He leads retreats and coaching focused on integrating intense states sometimes labeled bipolar, drawing from transpersonal psychology and somatic practice.   Key Takeaways: The guest frames some “bipolar” episodes as spiritual emergencies that require containment, grounding, and skilled support—not dismissal. Trauma processing and somatic release may correlate with symptom shifts; the guest uses breathwork to surface and resolve stored material. Distinguish projection (paranoia, grandiosity) from internalization (turning attention inward) to move from crisis to integration. Kundalini/energy language is used metaphorically to explain blocks and releases; scientific validation remains debated. Safety first: structured environment, trained facilitators, post-session integration, and continued medical supervision as needed. The guest's “bipolar breathwork” adapts holotropic methods (faster breathing + music) to invite emotional catharsis in a controlled setting. Lived experience matters: the guest's own hospitalization catalyzed his current model and methods. For clinicians: consider multidisciplinary collaboration—biological, psychological, and spiritual lenses can co-exist. For listeners: educational only; always consult licensed professionals before changing treatment. Resources: book (free PDF on guest site), retreats, and a free 30-minute consult.   Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice. Listeners should consult qualified professionals for medical conditions.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with neuroscience-based coach Dorota Kosiorek to unpack why doing more stops working—and how elite performers can shift from pressure to presence. We get tactical on dopamine loops, subconscious “autopilot,” and boundary-setting as a performance system. Dorota breaks down her Elite Mind Framework—from clarifying values to rewiring limiting beliefs—so leaders can achieve more by doing less, with calm confidence instead of chronic overdrive. If your calendar runs you, this is your reset.   About the guest : Dorota Kosiorek is a neuroscience-based coach and creator of the Elite Mind Framework. After 15 years across consulting and startups, she helps high achievers build healthy selfishness, stronger boundaries, and a results-without-burnout operating model.   Key takeaways: High achievers often chase dopamine hits from goals; the drop after “arrival” fuels endless pursuit and burnout. Rest ≠ laziness. Reframe recovery as a strategic input that compounds focus, creativity, and output. Autopilot rules 95% of day-to-day choices; noticing subconscious patterns is step one to changing them. Boundaries are performance infrastructure: set personal non-negotiables and practice saying no without apology. Start with values and “why” to align goals with peace—not at the expense of it. The Elite Mind Framework pillars: Explore (values/why), Liberate (subconscious reprogramming), Integrate (courage and confidence), Transcend (boundaries/healthy selfishness), Embody (purposeful, slower, legacy-driven living). Known but misaligned environments feel “safer” to the brain; courage is required to exit toxic success loops. Practical first move: schedule protected time just for you weekly; treat it as immovable as a board meeting.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Dorota Kosiorek Website: https://dorotakosiorek.com/ Instagram: @mindbydorota Free 15-minute call: Book via her website (deep-dive to identify your biggest blockers)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, certified sexologist Mandy Hart explains why play and pleasure are not extras—they're core to mental health, nervous-system regulation, and intimate connection. We dig into trauma responses, shame, authenticity vs. performance, and simple ways to lower stress, reboot desire, and rebuild self-trust. If you want a clear, trauma-informed blueprint to bring curiosity, laughter, and embodied presence back into daily life and relationships, this conversation gives you practical steps you can use today.   About the guest  : Mandy Hart is a certified sexologist and founder of Heart's Desire: Intimacy & Relationship Coaching. She blends behavioral science with trauma-informed, somatic coaching to help clients release shame, reconnect with the body, and build honest, enjoyable intimacy.   Key takeaways: Play shifts the brain out of protection and into exploration, reducing walls that block intimacy and self-connection. Genuine fun lowers cortisol and calms the nervous system, supporting mood, energy, and healthier choices. Shame thrives on self-consciousness; small, safe acts of silliness (dancing alone, laughing at awkward moments) rebuild confidence. Laughter during imperfect moments can transform embarrassment into bonding and positive sexual experiences. Authenticity over performance: performing is fine if you enjoy it; it becomes harmful when it's a “should” that disconnects you from yourself. Start tiny: make a “feel-good” list (music, baths, nature, reading) and schedule one micro-dose of joy daily. Protect decompression time after work; short rituals (e.g., music on the commute) can reset the body before hard conversations. Presence fuels desire: think “pilot light” at your core—fun and permission help it burn brighter. Balance matters: use fun to fulfill, not to avoid; if life tasks suffer, recalibrate without moralizing. A quick practice: breathe into your belly, recall something that gives you butterflies, notice sensations, accept them without judgment.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://harts-desire.com/  (free consultation via the Scheduling tab) Email: mandy@harts-desire.com Instagram: DM via Mandy's profile   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with novelist and scholar Cinda Gault about how historical fiction can restore women's voices and model resilient mindsets. From Isabel Gunn (who disguised herself to work the Canadian fur trade) to the turbulent reforms of the 1970s, Cinda explains how story lets us “step into another consciousness,” building empathy, agency, and practical courage. We examine autonomy, meaningful work, creative risk-taking, and how today's listeners can challenge quiet social constraints without glorifying conflict. This conversation is direct, reflective, and designed for searchers interested in women's history, trauma-informed healing, creative practice, and mental well-being.   About the guest  : Cinda Gault is a Canadian novelist and scholar whose books—This Godforsaken Place, A Small Compass, and Everything I Hope For—center women who defy expectations and choose meaningful lives. Her background spans domestic-violence advocacy, corrections, and a PhD focused on Canadian women's writing.   Key takeaways: Story as empathy technology: Fiction lets readers inhabit another mind, shifting beliefs faster than argument and supporting emotional healing and mental flexibility. Agency over approval: Gault's protagonists define meaning for themselves, accept mistakes, and iterate—useful for reducing shame spirals and building resilient habits. Historical context, modern tools: Legal and cultural shifts (education access, financial autonomy, reproductive rights in Canada) expanded options; listeners can pair this progress with personal boundaries and values. Defying quiet constraints: Even without explicit barriers, conventions around caregiving, career, and creativity can box people in; naming them creates space for choice. Courage as a daily practice: Small risks (new skills, new roles) build identity strength—adventure is often a mindset before it's a voyage. Research to reclamation: Unearthing figures like Isabel Gunn or referencing Annie Oakley reframes women not as exceptions but as agents within their eras. Craft note for creators: Real tension (not constant harmony) drives story; in life, anticipate challenges and choose responses aligned with your values. Practical reflection: Ask, “What one step would make my life more meaningful this week?” Then act, review, and adjust.   How to connect with the guest   Website: search for “Cinda Gault” to find her official site, book details, and a free History of Storytelling webinar.

In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, we cut through hustle myths to define success on your terms. Marketing advisor and social impact founder Daniel Francavilla unpacks how to leave the grind, set real boundaries, and design an ecosystem where your ventures feed—not fight—each other. We cover work-life balance without burnout, time freedom as a key metric, responsible use of AI for authentic storytelling, and building a personal brand that aligns impact with revenue. If you're scaling a business and want sanity, clarity, and traction, this conversation is built for you. About the guest  : Daniel Francavilla is a marketing advisor, strategist, professor, and serial founder. He built and exited a creative agency, teaches at OCAD University, founded The Good Growth Company for mission-driven teams, and started ACCESS at 17 to back youth-led change. His work sits at the intersection of brand, impact, and sustainable entrepreneurship. Key takeaways  : Redefine success: shift from headcount and volume to alignment and measurable impact. Balance ≠ equal hours; think flow. Say no more often and protect focused time. Boundaries protect creativity: accept projects only when scope and timeline truly fit. Time freedom is a core KPI alongside revenue—plan capacity accordingly. Build your “Ecosystem of You”: map causes, strengths, offers, and roles so projects support each other. Variety can fuel performance—switch tasks intentionally based on demand, energy, and opportunity. Use AI as an amplifier for a defined voice and POV; ethics and taste remain differentiators. Create a master tracker for classes, talks, proposals, and launches to keep cross-venture clarity. Turn away misaligned work; provide scalable value via resources and content. Detach regularly: short trips without calls or client sessions reset mindset and stamina.

Former Western Australia firefighter and author Anthony Ajduk joins Healthy Mind, Healthy Life to talk plainly about PTSD—how a 2012 crash became the final trigger after 31 years on the job, what hypervigilance and anxiety really feel like, and why early treatment and honest conversations save careers, marriages, and lives. We unpack stigma in emergency services, practical skills that helped Anthony stabilize (breathwork, removing triggers, education about the brain), and how writing A Firefighter's Life turned pain into purpose. If you're a first responder—or love one—this episode offers clear insight, language you can use, and next steps.   About the guest  : Anthony Ajduk served as a professional firefighter in Western Australia for 31 years. After a career-ending incident and a PTSD diagnosis, he underwent intensive treatment and later wrote A Firefighter's Life to help others recognize symptoms and seek help sooner.   Key takeaways: PTSD can follow cumulative exposure. A routine-looking call became the breaking point after decades of incidents. Symptoms showed up fast: anxiety, breathlessness, hypervigilance, mood swings, and sudden behavioral changes—often without warning. Early, specialized care matters. Seeing a clinical psychologist within days accelerated stabilization and recovery. Education reduces fear. Understanding what the brain is doing (and why) helps people interrupt spirals and apply tools. Simple tools help in the moment: slow breathing, stepping away from triggers, and resetting before re-engaging. Families need a script. Clear language about “an injury to the brain” reframes judgment and invites support. Stigma still blocks care. Normalizing conversations in stations, peer circles, and at home increases help-seeking. Writing and storytelling can be therapeutic. Turning experience into a book offered integration and helped others feel less alone. Society should view PTSD as an injury, not a character flaw—especially for first responders who see in a year what others may never see in a lifetime. Action step: if you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you love, treat it like any serious injury and seek professional help now.   How to connect with the guest  : Facebook: Anthony Ajduk (personal) and Anthony Ajduk, Author Book: A Firefighter's Life (available on Amazon in e-book and paperback)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"Quietly ambitious and a bit unhinged." Somewhere in the Midwest, a talented young couple is quietly building an escape room empire. Their company, 60 to Escape, has over 12 different escape rooms across 3 locations, a puzzle-filled mini-golf experience, and a haunt so extensive and scenic that it was used as the set for a horror movie called Haunt Season on Amazon Prime. Stephen Kristof literally has entertainment in his blood. His parents owned a family entertainment center, and he grew up bouncing around mini-golf, go carts, and fixing the arcade machines. Growing up, Stephen always wanted to work at a haunt, but he was too young. So at the ripe young age of thirteen, he presented his parents with business plan for opening up his own haunt, and his first venture was born. In the course of running the haunt, they brought in a talented young SFX makeup artist named Stevie Calabrese (now Stevie Kristof). During haunt season, she manages four other artists as they get eighty performers into costumes and makeup in under two hours. Stephen and Stevie met, fell in love, and became "The Steves." They now run their immersive entertainment ventures together, crafting and creating much of it themselves, along with their team of talented folks. If either of them look familiar, you may have seen them on a reality show. Stephen was a contestant on Season 1 of Holey Moley, a zany mini-golf reality competition show, and Stevie was a contestant on Season 9 of Face Off, a special effects makeup reality competition show. I really enjoyed hearing them talk about their commitment to the customer experience, and their dedication to production value and creativity. Their company 60 to Escape was part of the Escape Immerse Explore tour in the Chicago area in 2025.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana talks with veteran film/TV composer Chris Boardman, founder of SoundBridge Health. After developing PTSD, Chris turned decades of musical storytelling into a practical nervous-system toolkit that blends personally meaningful music, breathwork, and ritual movement. We unpack the neuroscience—hippocampus memory recall, amygdala signaling, dopamine release—and why tempo, not genre, is the lever for calm or focus. We also cover how to build on-the-spot “pre-shot routines” to interrupt spirals and why music from ages 12–20 often regulates us fastest. Direct, science-backed, and immediately usable. About the Guest  : Chris Boardman is a renowned composer/arranger/orchestrator whose career spans symphony, Broadway, film, and records, collaborating with icons such as Quincy Jones, Julie Andrews, and Shirley MacLaine. He is the creator of SoundBridge Health, a pre-launch program that teaches people to self-regulate using music, breath, and movement. Key Takeaways: Music is embedded in long-term memory (hippocampus); hearing a familiar piece rapidly retrieves associated memories and feelings. Positive recall can trigger dopamine via amygdala → frontal cortex signaling, creating a fast mood lift and physiological shift. The brain's autonomic threat response (startle, hypervigilance) can be interrupted by focused listening paired with breath and movement. Tempo entrains physiology: choose slower BPM to downshift anxiety; faster BPM to energize. Genre doesn't matter—personal relevance does. Music from ages 12–20 often regulates best due to heightened emotional imprinting during coming-of-age changes. Pair music with box breathing/pranayama to anchor attention in the present and with ritual movement to quiet rumination. Build a simple on-demand routine: select 3–5 personally meaningful tracks by target tempo, add a fixed breath cadence, and repeat the same micro-movement sequence to train the response. SoundBridge Health is pre-launch and preparing pilot programs with physicians; interested listeners can join the waitlist to be notified.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and guest George Rivera break down how founders can scale fast without burning out or missing what matters at home. George shares the Father First Owner OS, the $10,000/hour filter, and practical delegation frameworks that replace task-doing with outcome ownership, standard operating procedures, and clear decision rights. If you're a time-poor, revenue-rich founder, this episode gives you direct, actionable steps to reclaim your calendar, protect family time, and grow with consistency.   About the Guest   George Rivera is the creator of Father First Owner OS and author of Buy Back Time Formula. He helps 7–9 figure founders win back 10–20 hours a week, end key-person dependency, and stay fully present at home—without shrinking the business.   Key Takeaways: Design for outcomes, not tasks: Assign clear owners for results with written SOPs and Loom-style walkthroughs so work stops bouncing back to the founder. Install structure: Replace “everyone reports to me” with a simple executive/manager layer. Ownership becomes clear, and the founder exits the escalation loop. Give decision rights: Predefine thresholds (e.g., approve anything under a set spend) so teams move without micromanagement. Run the $/hour filter: Log two weeks of work. Anything a capable person can do for a small fraction of your effective hourly value gets delegated or outsourced. Systematize the repeats: Every recurring task becomes a one-time documentation effort that compounds time savings. Stay in needle-moving zones: Founder time belongs in growth, relationships, and visibility—not internal admin and QC. Proof it works: George scaled from ~$20M to nearly ~$50M while cutting to ~30 hours/week and taking true off-grid months by applying these frameworks. Why it matters: Moments with your kids don't come back. Optimize the business for presence now to minimize end-of-life regrets and pass down a better operating model at home and at work.   Connect with the Guest  : Website: https://buybacktimeformula.com/Socials: @buybacktimeformula (Facebook and other platforms listed from the site) Instagram | YouTube | LinkedIn | TikTok | Facebook   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of the Business of Aesthetics Podcast, host Don Adeesha is joined by Audrey Neff, Chief Marketing Officer at Aviva Aesthetics, to discuss a critical industry paradox: why, in a booming $25.3 billion market, do so few practices build sustainable, scalable value? Audrey lays out a blueprint for long-term success, arguing that the practices that win will be those who master generational behavior, patient experience, and recurring revenue. She identifies major industry shifts, including the intersection of wellness with functional medicine and the acceleration of private equity consolidation, which is forcing owners to think strategically about their exit from day one. A major focus is on the rise of the millennial consumer, now the largest demographic in aesthetics. Audrey explains that this group values human interaction and experiences above all else, and studies show they will pay more for a provider they trust. This makes "experience-driven marketing" the new invisible engine for growth. She provides actionable strategies for building this trust online, where millennials conduct their research, emphasizing the need to dominate Google Reviews (aiming for "triple digits") and Instagram, a platform used by 83% of millennials to research aesthetic providers. From a business perspective, Audrey advises owners to "begin with the end in mind" and operate "as if it were for sale" from the start. She warns against selling too early out of fear, noting that in a valuation, "culture is everything" because aesthetics is a human-to-human business, a nuance many investors miss. She also identifies a massive "profit leak" in most practices: retail. She urges owners to target 15-20% of gross revenue from retail, up from the common 2-5%, framing it not as being "pushy" but as a critical tool for delivering better clinical results, which in turn creates happier, more loyal patients. Finally, Audrey looks to the future, predicting that as competition increases and treatments become commoditized, differentiation is paramount. She reminds listeners, "competition only exists if you're doing the same thing as everybody else." Her key takeaway for all practitioners is to "put the noise on mute" to ignore the social media drama and "shiny new toys" and instead focus with intensity on what is happening inside their own business, with their own patients, and with their own team.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Michael Stone—trauma integration facilitator, spiritual mentor, and author of Traumatized: A Love Story. We unpack trauma as evolutionary intelligence rather than pathology, explore body-based healing over talk-only approaches, and get practical steps: presencing → witnessing → embracing. Michael explains how ancestral and collective burdens, scarcity, and the illusion of a “separate self” shape our nervous systems—and how meditation, contemplation, and prayer rebuild capacity, regulation, and presence. Clear, direct takeaways for listeners seeking grounded tools to integrate trauma and expand creativity, authenticity, and connection. About the guest  : Michael Stone is a trauma integration facilitator, spiritual mentor, organizational consultant, and long-time podcast/radio host and faculty member with decades of teaching and circle work. His book, Traumatized: A Love Story, reframes trauma as a call to wholeness embedded in the nervous system. Key takeaways: This episode includes non-graphic discussion of suicide, childhood abuse, sexual violence, murder, grief, and trauma. Listener discretion advised. If you or someone you know is in crisis, seek immediate help from local emergency services. Support resources: India: Kiran Mental Health Helpline 1800-599-0019. USA: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call/text 988) and chat via 988lifeline.org. UK: Samaritans 116 123. Australia: Lifeline 13 11 14. For other regions, see Befrienders Worldwide or your national crisis line.   Trauma isn't the event; it's what happened in us—stored as tension, numbness, and fragmentation in the body. Body-first healing: traditional talk-only methods miss somatic wounds; awareness in the body enables integration. See trauma as evolutionary intelligence—a protective adaptation that once kept us safe and now asks for attention. Stop trying to “get rid of” feelings; turn toward them. Suppression increases the nervous system's protection response. A workable arc: Presencing (ground, soften, slow), Witnessing (feel sensations/emotions with finer resolution), Embracing (say yes to what is) → integration. Co-regulation precedes self-regulation: healing in circles/relationships repairs what was wounded in relationship. Address ancestral, familial, and collective layers; many burdens are inherited “legacy burdens.” Trauma fuels the illusion of separate self and scarcity; expanding inner space restores creativity, intuition, and authenticity. Language creates reality: speak from presence, not “aftertime” patterns. Practical starter: Soften → slow down → feel your body whenever you're triggered; build capacity before strategy.

On Healthy Waves with host Avik Chakraborty, Hipolito Montero shares a direct, no-drama account of turning a doctor's warning—an enlarged heart and daily chest pain—into a disciplined, sustainable fitness practice. We cover the early walks during UK lockdown, a mindset reset after injury and self-doubt, training for Hyrox, and why moderation—not food rules—keeps progress consistent. If you're starting again (or starting at all), this conversation focuses on practical habits, accountability, and self-respect that compound over time.   About the guest  : Hipolito Montero is a health and fitness transformer who cut weight from 130 kg to ~101 kg through disciplined habits, coaching, calisthenics, and Hyrox-style conditioning. He speaks candidly about rebuilding confidence, managing injury, and creating a realistic relationship with food and movement.   Key takeaways  : A medical wake-up call (heart 53% larger than normal) sparked change; the goal became longevity and showing up for family. Early momentum came from simple actions: daily walks/runs in nature during lockdown with an accountability partner. Mindset shift > motivation: stop seeking external validation; build self-respect via consistent, small wins. Coaching and community matter: weekly reflections, honest tracking of achievements and pain points, and accountability. Injury reframed progress: sciatica forced smarter training—form, mobility, chiropractic care, and planned recovery. Training target: Hyrox (8 × 1 km runs + 8 functional stations). Completion over speed; amateur-friendly formats (solo, pairs, relay). Sustainable nutrition: no “good/bad” foods; manage calories, keep treats, and choose lower-calorie options when eating out. Activity baseline now includes regular 12k+ daily steps, 5–10K runs, and calisthenics (e.g., hand-to-wall handstand). Confidence is trained: presenting, podcasting, and public speaking improved alongside physical capacity. Purpose pays forward: using lived experience to encourage people who feel stuck to try, adapt, and keep going.   Connect with the guest   Instagram   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with journalist-turned-novelist and writing coach John DeDakis about how writing can support emotional healing. From journaling through grief to shaping lived experience into fiction, John shares practical ways to face fear, access the subconscious, and build momentum one sentence at a time. We cover: using daily journals to process emotion, the discipline journalism teaches storytellers, moving toward pain rather than numbing it, and a simple ten-minute “I feel…” prompt to safely begin. If you're coping with loss or struggling to start your book, this conversation is a direct, grounded roadmap to begin today.   About the guest  : John DeDakis is an award-winning novelist, longtime journalist, and writing coach. Across a 45-year journalism career—including 25 years at CNN—he reported, edited, and taught storytelling. His mystery/thrillers draw from real life while helping readers and writers navigate grief, meaning, and craft.   Key takeaways: Start where you are: a daily journal creates structure to witness emotions, spot patterns, and steady yourself without pressure to publish. Use the “I feel…” sprint: write continuously for ten minutes beginning with “I feel…”. Do not edit. This bypasses perfectionism and surfaces what needs attention. Move toward the pain: clarity grows by facing fear (of judgment, failure, imperfection) rather than anesthetizing it; action builds confidence. Craft follows honesty: first drafts can be messy; revision is where journalism's clarity and concision strengthen the story. Interview your characters: ask, “Who are you and why do you want to be in my book?” to dip into the subconscious and unlock voice, motive, and plot. Persistence is psychological fitness: patience through rejections and rewrites develops both craft and self-awareness. Grief is broader than death: losses of health, work, relationships, or innocence also deserve space on the page. Measure progress in steps, not miles: like a difficult hike, look back often to see how far you've come; momentum is built one page at a time.   How to connect with the guest   Website: https://johndedakis.comBooks, coaching, speaking, and contact details are available on John's site.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty and retirement coach/author Lisa Haynes cut through the myths of retirement planning. This episode focuses on the non-financial side of retiring well—identity shifts, mental and emotional fitness, and building social connection after leaving work. Lisa breaks down her KILLIN' IT framework—practical steps to keep moving, design purpose, and nurture networks—so you can build a post-career life you're actually excited to live.   About the guest   Lisa Haynes is a certified executive and retirement coach, former CFO, and author of Retired and Killing It. She helps current and soon-to-be retirees create purposeful, connected lives by planning the psychological, social, and lifestyle sides of retirement—not just the finances.   Key takeaways   Retirement is a transition, not a stop. Identity and purpose often wobble once the job title disappears; plan for this shift early. K — Keep moving: Protect mental, physical, and social health; don't stay home multiple days without getting out. I — Imagine what's next: Start with a clean whiteboard—travel, volunteering, part-time work, relocation, family time—then set real targets. L — Laugh a lot: Adults forget to play; joy and laughter have tangible health benefits. L — Live for legacy: Legacy is impact, not just money—share wisdom and contribute where you care. I — Ignite your passion: Purpose emerges when you spend time on energizing, meaningful activities. N — Nurture your network: Audit relationships; invest in a smaller, stronger circle for resilience and information flow. I — Invest in others: Mentor, teach, and give back; it reinforces meaning. T — Tell yourself you're “killing it.” Self-encouragement matters on off days. First action today: Do the “Imagine What's Next” exercise—list every interest, then pick one to act on this week.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://haynesexec.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisa.haynes.1010/ Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/lisaj_617 Email: lisa@haynesexec.com LinkedIn: Lisa Haynes (banner: “Retired and Killing It”) Book: Retired and Killing It (available on Amazon)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana and guest Ryan W. McClellan (life coach, entrepreneur, and author) cut through buzzwords to show how leaders and teams can make mental health real at work. We unpack job insecurity, why people fear speaking up, and how simple, human actions—walk-the-floor check-ins, micro-breaks, and open ideation rooms—lift both morale and performance. We also cover Gen Z's influence on boundaries, the 52–17 focus rhythm, and practical privacy-first options when someone needs help but doesn't want to involve HR. Direct, evidence-minded, and immediately usable for CEOs, managers, and teams across industries.   About the Guest  : Ryan W. McClellan is a certified life coach specializing in mindset, self-esteem, and leadership. He has launched nine businesses, holds a Master's in Marketing and a BA in Organizational Psychology, and is the author of six books. He mentors university students and consults on people-first performance.   Key Takeaways: Fix job insecurity first. Replace “report-only leadership” with weekly floor time: ask, “How's your day—what's getting in the way?” From policy to practice. Pilot one change for two weeks (meeting-free focus block, flexible start window, or micro-breaks) and measure impact. Medium leash management. Autonomy with accountability beats command-and-control. Coach privately; praise publicly. Use the 52–17 rhythm. 52 minutes of deep work + 17 minutes of rest sustains cognition and quality. Culture is felt, not framed. Employees value a workplace where they can be themselves—and will trade higher pay for a healthier environment. Gen Z is a feature, not a bug. Clear boundaries and candid feedback raise the bar for everyone. Confidential help options. If HR involvement feels unsafe, suggest off-hour or lunch-break access to licensed support or coaching; protect privacy while encouraging professional care. Leaders model the standard. Your calm, your boundaries, and your deep-work block license your team to do the same. Before discipline, ask why. Performance dips often have explainable causes (e.g., caregiving); solutions may be simple. Crisis note. If anyone is at risk of self-harm, seek immediate help from local emergency services or your national crisis hotline.   How to Connect with the Guest   Email: ryan@rwmcc.com Search: “Ryan W.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with scientist-turned-career strategist Caroline Sangal, founder of Next Success and host of Your Next Success. Caroline breaks down mental fitness, resilience, and career alignment—how high achievers can stop chasing external markers and start designing work that supports health, relationships, and meaning. She shares her own pivot from R&D and executive recruiting, the neuroscience behind upgrading unhelpful mental “operating systems,” and practical steps to pause, assess, and realign.   About the guest  : Caroline Sangal, PhD is a former chemical industry R&D leader and executive recruiter who now guides professionals through evidence-based career transitions. She blends data, discernment, and empathy in her Next Success Method, integrating natural abilities, communication style, mental fitness, and a life-first career vision.   Key takeaways : Mental fitness = response under stress. It's the trained ability to respond rather than react when plans derail (e.g., the “late dinner order” story). Upgrade the OS. Many adults run childhood-formed mental patterns (people-pleasing, hyper-control, hyper-achieve). These can be retrained via targeted practice and micro-exercises. Resilience is trainable. Like strength training, repeated cognitive drills build calmer, clearer responses and better decisions in interviews, leadership, and home life. Life vision first, career second. Clarify eight factors—stage, abilities, skills, interests, personal style, communication behavior, family context, goals/values—then align roles accordingly. Spot self-sabotage. Use assessments to identify dominant “saboteurs” (e.g., hyper-vigilant, pleaser, victim) and replace them with constructive mental habits. Listen to the body. Ignoring stress shows up as health and relationship costs; realignment improves well-being and presence with family. Start now: Pause → Assess → Act. Audit daily energy givers/drainers; visualize a life you actually want; take one aligned action this week.Community-Guidelines Check: The transcript contains no content that violates YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn community standards.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Ethan Reisboard, CHt, a board-certified hypnotherapist, to cut through myths about hypnosis and get practical about change. We break down how hypnotherapy works on the subconscious mind and nervous system, why it can accelerate results alongside talk therapy and rehab, and how it helped Ethan recover from post-concussion syndrome when other approaches stalled. If you're navigating anxiety, ADHD-style distraction, chronic pain, or behavior loops (smoking, overeating, procrastination), this conversation outlines a non-pharmacological, skills-based path to regulation, clarity, and follow-through. Direct, grounded, and focused on implementation—not hype. About the Guest  : Ethan Reisboard, CHt is a board-certified hypnotherapist. After debilitating migraines and eye dysfunction from post-concussion syndrome, he used hypnotherapy to calm a hyperactive nervous system, then returned to other therapies with far better results. He now helps clients create lasting, transferable changes in day-to-day life. Key Takeaways  : Hypnotherapy isn't stage tricks; it guides the brain into a receptive learning state so new responses “stick.” Most people know what to do; the gap is implementation. Hypnosis targets that gap at the subconscious level. Nervous system regulation is foundational; when stress reactivity drops, other treatments (OT/PT/CBT) work better. Useful for loops like smoking, overeating, or procrastination, and processes tied to anxiety, pain, and focus. No mind control: clients can't be made to do what they don't want. Change requires willing participation. Pairing talk therapy insights with hypnotherapy helps translate “what I know” into “what I do.” Aim for confidence, clarity, and appropriate stress response rather than trying to avoid triggers. Non-invasive and drug-free; focuses on durable skills versus quick suppression (e.g., contrasts with symptom-only fixes). Simple daily practice: return to the present—observe, interrupt future-fear/past-rumination—to reduce symptom intensity. Expect broader adoption: as evidence and access grow, people will seek hypnotherapy earlier, not as a last resort.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik digs into how discipline—not fleeting motivation—builds durable success. Guest Malik Duckett shares lessons from foster care to entrepreneurship: using the gym to train decision-making, reframing setbacks as data, and designing daily structures that keep goals on track long after inspiration fades. This episode is a direct playbook for replacing excuses with execution—covering routines, resilience, and the psychology of sticking with hard things across fitness, career, and life.   About the guest  : Malik Duckett is an author, investor, clothing designer, and serial entrepreneur. He channels early adversity into a framework of discipline, consistent action, and critical thinking to create freedom in health, business, and life.   Key takeaways: Habits beat hype: design a daily structure (reading, training, focused work) so progress continues when motivation dips. Train for life in the gym: voluntary physical stressors build the exact discipline required for real-world tough choices. Identity first, action follows: call yourself disciplined and act in alignment—consistency compounds. Reframe failure as feedback: analyze losses more than wins; extract what to change and iterate fast. Information overload skews expectations: social media hides the work; expect long horizons and steady repetitions. Choose your lens: circumstances matter, but your interpretation—positive, neutral, or lesson—determines your next move. Leave limiting environments: changing geography and circles can remove ceilings on growth. Motivation as a bonus, not fuel: rely on routines you control, not external hype you don't. Health is a performance multiplier: sleep, nutrition, and training create the cognitive bandwidth for good decisions. Self-evidence is the ultimate motivator: let your history of kept promises drive future adherence.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: @IntrovertedMentor Website: https://www.sinislifeofficial.org/ Book/brand: SinIsLifeOfficial.org   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik speaks with Dylan Borland, founder of Caden Academy, about the practical mechanics behind the idea that imagination creates reality. Dylan breaks down conscious vs. subconscious mind, why belief and feeling are non-negotiable for manifestation, and how to test this in your life with small, repeatable experiments. From recontextualizing limiting self-talk to embodying scenes where the “wish is fulfilled,” this episode gives direct, no-fluff steps to shift inner narratives and see measurable outer change. If you've wondered how visualization, emotion, and consistent focus translate into results, this conversation covers the framework start to finish—without hype.  About the Guest :  Dylan Borland is the founder of Caden Academy, a school of conscious creation and inner transformation. His work blends ancient wisdom with modern practice to help people remember who they truly are and create aligned outcomes using imagination, feeling, and the subconscious mind. He is the author of Imagination Creates Reality.  Key Takeaways: Imagination is the engine; the subconscious is the tool. The conscious mind filters ideas; repeated, accepted ideas imprint on the subconscious, which then expresses them outward. Belief first. Outcomes align with your dominant assumption. If you don't believe it's possible, you block it. Feel it real. Don't just visualize; embody a short scene that implies the wish is already fulfilled. Engage senses (sound, touch, temperature) and the feeling (relief, gratitude). Recontextualize the story. Replace “I can't” loops (e.g., “It's hard to make money”) with precise, affirmative truths repeated consistently. Test small to build evidence. Use simple experiments (e.g., “ladder exercise”) for fast wins, then scale to bigger goals. Timing matters. Drift-to-sleep periods (alpha state) are potent windows to plant scenes and feelings. Identity is flexible. Life is chapters; you can choose new roles anytime. Stop clinging to past labels. Action follows state. Imagination doesn't replace action; it informs aligned moves that feel natural from the fulfilled state. Health and mindset. Personal stories highlight how belief and mental focus influence well-being; adopt with discernment, not as medical advice. If it's not showing up, check belief. Persistent inner contradictions often stall results; address the belief, then re-feel the scene.  How to Connect with the Guest : Website & free digital copy of Imagination Creates Reality: cadenacademy.com Community: Inner Edge Facebook group (linked from the website)  Some statements reflect personal belief and experiences and are presented as individual views, not medical advice.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty talks with Anna Donaghey—alcohol mindset coach, author, and host of The Big Drink Rethink—about why high-achievers quietly struggle with drinking and how to replace alcohol's “jobs” (confidence, belonging, relief) with tools that actually nourish. We unpack Anna's “What are you truly thirsty for?” framework, practical pause-and-choose strategies, and how boundaries, self-awareness, and nervous-system care build a life you don't want to escape. If you're sober-curious, rethinking happy-hour habits, or ready to change your relationship with alcohol without shame or moralizing, this direct, science-informed conversation is for you. About the guest  : Anna Donaghey spent 25 years as a strategy director in high-pressure advertising before confronting a growing dependence on alcohol. Now an alcohol mindset coach, podcast host of The Big Drink Rethink, and author of the forthcoming What Are You Thirsty For?, she helps people identify the unmet needs behind the drink and choose healthier ways to meet them. Key takeaways: Name the “job” you're giving alcohol (confidence, connection, relief, sleep). Once named, you can meet that need directly. Micro-pause practice: before you drink, ask, “What am I really thirsty for right now?” Even if you still drink, the pause builds choice. High achievers are vulnerable: perfectionism, control, and overperformance can become an Achilles' heel, pushing private, compensatory drinking. Alcohol isn't the root problem; it becomes a placeholder for unmet emotional needs. Replace numbing with nourishing inputs. Build a life you don't want to escape: core nutrients (body, mind, soul), better boundaries, and tools for regulation reduce urges. Treat sensations (tension, cravings, fatigue) as information, not failure. Respond with rest, connection, movement, or creativity. Success can mimic a drug (dopamine loops), just like work, scrolling, gaming. Swap quick hits for sustainable fulfillment. This is not about deprivation; it's about empowerment—making alcohol small and irrelevant so you choose with intention. You don't have to quit to begin; you do need to stop using alcohol as an emotional management tool. Start today: identify your top two “thirsts” (e.g., calm, belonging) and list non-alcohol ways to meet each in 10 minutes or less.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty explores how voice and sound unlock self-healing, mental clarity, and embodied presence with Denise Mihalik—opera singer turned sound-healing guide, founder of Sound Awakenings, and creator of Quantum Voice. From opera stages to ashrams, Denise shares how chanting, humming, and breath rewire our nervous system, rebuild confidence after grief, and reconnect us to an authentic voice that leads rather than pleases. You'll learn practical, safe voice practices you can start today—no “good singer” required—and why your voiceprint is a direct line to purpose. About the guest  : Denise Mihalik is the founder of Sound Awakenings and creator of Quantum Voice. A former professional opera singer, she now teaches voice and sound practices for trauma release, presence, and inner peace. She offers 1:1 and group sessions online and a free “Sounds of Awakening” (Bija Mantras) training on her homepage. She is also the author of the novel Journey to Sunyata. Key takeaways: Your voice is a unique vibrational fingerprint—a mirror of mood, safety, and self-permission. Most people aren't tone-deaf; voice skills are trainable when mental blocks are addressed. Breath + posture change how you sound and how safe you feel to be heard. Simple humming regulates the nervous system—think “walking singing bowl.” Chanting (including Sanskrit bija sounds) can soften grief, open the heart, and restore meaning. After loss, begin with permission to feel joy, then rebuild with breath and tiny steps. Speaking or singing isn't about sounding pretty; it's about sincere resonance and alignment. Practical start: 2 minutes of gentle breath + hum, hand on chest, daily consistency over intensity.

In this direct, practical conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores how the four cardinal virtues—prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance—become a usable framework for real-world mental and spiritual well-being. Guest Matthew Jandernoa, founder of Steadfast Life, reframes virtue from “rules” into a map for becoming fully human. You'll hear why freedom requires formation, how appetites shape choice, and a simple on-ramp: identify your “champion virtue” using Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies to build momentum. Matthew shares a client story showing how the prudential sub-virtue of alertness can reduce panic attacks by widening focus and restoring creativity. If you want a clear, non-fluffy path to calm, confidence, and integrity, this episode lays out the steps.   About the guest   Matthew Jandernoa is a husband, father, and founder of Steadfast Life, a movement helping people make virtue human again—practiced daily by families, leaders, and believers seeking wisdom, discipline, and love.   Key takeaways: Virtue is human tech: The root of “virtue” (from vir, “human”) frames it as a map for being fully human, not a moral checklist. Four domains, four anchors: Prudence = thinking well Temperance = desiring well Fortitude = meeting fear well Justice = acting/interacting well Freedom needs formation: Unordered appetites distort reality; rightly ordered appetites increase true freedom and durable happiness. Start where you're strong: Use Four Tendencies to find a “champion virtue”: Upholder → Temperance Questioner → Prudence Obliger → Justice Rebel → FortitudeGrowing one virtue lifts all. Anxiety tool: alertness (prudence): Replace tunnel vision with creative option-generation to neutralize intrusive thoughts and regulate the nervous system. Everyday practice: Choose honesty over comfort, courage over fear, balance over excess, and fairness over ego—small, repeatable acts compound. Resources mentioned: steadfastlife.net, Institute of Catholic Culture's course on the Four Cardinal Virtues, Gretchen Rubin's Four Tendencies.   Connect with the guest   Website: steadfastlife.net Email: matthew@steadfastlife.net First call is free for introductions and questions about the virtues.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

"  Think of it as a wild Midwestern version of the MIT mystery hunt  for a slightly different crowd where people drink quite a bit more." For three whole days, over 10,000 trivia challengers descend on the tiny town of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, for The World's Largest Trivia Contest. The contest runs on the local college radio station at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point for 54 hours straight, asking eight questions per hour. Teams have only the length of two radio songs to call in their answer. Yup, that's right. You call into the radio, old school style. It's a madcap frenzy of teams frantically searching through bins of catalogued items spanning from cereal boxes to DVD covers, or racking their brains to remember an obscure cartoon reference. For 43 years Jim “Oz” Oliva was ringmaster of this trivia circus. He wrote most of the questions and organized the contest. Jim revels in finding the most obscure bits of trivia to throw at his players. In response, teams have amassed entire rooms filled with snack packaging, atlases, and the booklets from CDs, among other items. With the advent of the internet, Jim had to change how he formatted the questions to stay ahead of searchable keywords. You can hear the glee in Jim's voice when he talks about all the techniques he devised to outmaneuver trivia players. He even had to hold onto all of the garbage from the question writing room otherwise players have been known to go through the trash, attempting to gain an edge over the competition. Jim is blunt, funny, and mischievous. I really enjoyed hearing all his stories from his many years of running this crazy trivia contest and learning about the wild culture surrounding it. In our Bonus Aftershow, REA contributers Heather Burns and Theresa Piazza join us to share their perspective on the trivia contest. Heather has been involved in the trivia contest for over 20 years, and Theresa joined Heather for the first time last year. It was wild to hear all about how they prepare for three crazy days of trivia with a revolving door of team members marshalling to rifle through bins of material and sleeping in shifts. I hope you enjoy this episode about The World's Largest Trivia Contest.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., CSP—award-winning keynote speaker and author of Momentum Mindset: How to Turn Setbacks into Success. We unpack practical strategies to move from overwhelm to action: the Pyramid of Possibilities to locate yourself, the Three Time Zones to mine lessons (not excuses) from your past, and the clarity trifecta—purpose, priorities, and pace—to build repeatable momentum without burnout. If you lead a team, run a business, or you're simply stuck, this episode shows you how to reframe honestly, separate identity from results, and bounce forward with a system of adaptive thinking, aligning, and doing. About the guest  : Dr. Samuel Jones, Ph.D., CSP is a keynote speaker, leadership coach, and author of Momentum Mindset. He helps leaders and teams convert adversity into advantage through systems that build clarity, confidence, and repeatable progress. Key takeaways:   Locate before you launch: Use the Pyramid of Possibilities to identify where you're believing myths versus truth so change starts from awareness. Measure momentum in days, not months: Build confidence with small repeatable actions; moments compound into momentum. Reframe without denial: The Three Time Zones model turns past pain into present power by extracting lessons (not blame). Ask better questions: “What does this moment require of me?” moves you from reaction to ownership. Clarity = purpose + priorities + pace: Right-size your speed to preserve capacity and produce results that matter. Build a thinking system: Shift to adaptive thinking → adaptive aligning → adaptive doing to keep evolving. Separate identity from outcomes: Results reflect inputs and alignment, not your worth; reconnect identity to purpose and values. Bounce forward after setbacks: Call a timeout, take stock, audit resourcing, and redesign inputs before the next move. Scale by pruning: “Scale back to scale up”—remove scatter, focus on what truly matters, then expand. Momentum loves witnesses: Share one win daily to reinforce progress and accountability.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik and mental health coach Davina Hehn cut through the fluff on anger. You'll learn how to read anger as data (not a defect), use nervous-system tools in the moment, and practice micro-repairs that rebuild trust at home and at work. Practical scripts, time-bound pauses, thought-stopping, and collaboration strategies make this a clear playbook for conflict without collateral damage. About the guest  : Davina Hehn is a trained therapist turned mental health coach. She helps people advocate for themselves without causing harm, regulate their nervous systems, and parent with accountability and repair. Key takeaways  : Anger is a pointer, not a personality flaw; it flags crossed boundaries, unmet needs, or perceived injustice. Do hourly micro-check-ins (jaw, heart rate, “cold-to-hot” scale) to catch activation early. Use a 30-second reset: notice body cues, name the need, choose a response over a reaction. Radical self-responsibility means holding multiple truths: “What I felt was valid; what I did wasn't helpful.” In-the-moment regulation: breathe with longer exhales; hum or lightly pinch fingertips for bilateral input; stay present. Create time-bound pauses: “I'm activated. I need 5 minutes. I'll come back.” Agree on a neutral cue word as a couple or family. Repair with consent and specifics: ask to revisit, share each perspective, name what you'll do differently next time. Aftercare matters: stop rumination with thought-stopping (visual stop sign) to complete the stress cycle. Prevention beats penance: set realistic timelines for behavior change; consistency rebuilds trust. Litmus test for action: channel anger into changes within your control; avoid rushing to act while still highly activated.SEO: anger intelligence, repair over rupture, parenting repair, conflict scripts, nervous system tools, relationship communication.

On “Healthy Mind, Healthy Life,” host Avik speaks with author and artist-healer Deborah Lucas about transforming pain into presence. From a life-changing horse fall to learning Hellerwork (structural integration), Deborah explains how breath, body awareness, and attunement with horses dissolve long-held tension and grief. We cover myofascial release, nervous system grounding, reading equine signals, and building a daily practice that's practical, somatic, and sustainable. If you're navigating loss, chronic stress, or creative blocks, this episode breaks the process down with direct, usable steps.   About the guest: Deborah Lucas is the author of “Dance While the Fire Burns: Identity, Family, and Dreams.” Trained as an MFA ceramic artist (UCLA), she later became a Hellerwork practitioner, applying myofascial release and breath-led awareness to both humans and horses. She lives on rural acreage with two rescue horses and teaches simple, grounded ways to reconnect to the body.   Key takeaways: Breath is the fastest reset: slow nasal inhales and longer exhales downshift the nervous system and make space for healing and creative flow. Hellerwork helps unwind layered tension: slow, client-led myofascial release allows emotions stored in connective tissue to surface and resolve without overwhelm. Horses mirror you: equine cues (ears, lips, leaning, softening) reflect your internal state; calm presence and steady breathing invite trust and co-regulation. Practical ritual beats theory: simple acts—standing quietly, breathing with a horse, soaking a hoof, mindful hand-washing to “reset” energy—create reliable safety signals for the body. Nature regulates: daily contact with trees, gardens, and animals increases grounding; creativity returns when the environment is quiet and spacious. Art as somatic practice: watercolor's layering and clay's fire-to-form process model healing—release occurs in layers, outcomes are emergent, acceptance matters. Grief can transform: honoring loss (including end-of-life moments) deepens joy capacity and fuels honest, meaningful expression. Start today: one small act—intentional breathing plus a brief nature check-in—begins momentum without needing perfect circumstances.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://www.deborahannlucas.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty digs into the mental health cost of staying in a job you hate. Guest Tom Cooke—a former quantity surveyor who left corporate life after a purpose-reset—breaks down the “silent burnout” of dread, numbness, and anxiety that comes from working without meaning. You'll learn how to assess your skills, spot real problems to solve, validate a business idea while employed, and make steady, patient moves toward a purpose-led venture. About the guest  : Tom Cooke is a purpose-driven business strategist who left a stable corporate career after a sabbatical revealed that success without freedom isn't success. He now helps professionals identify their first profitable idea, validate it on the side, and design a business that aligns with their values and mental well-being. Key takeaways  : Name the problem: “Silent burnout” looks like chest heaviness at the alarm, Sunday dread, and emotional numbness even around friends and family. Purpose ≠ paycheck: A great salary can still cost peace of mind; fulfillment comes from aligned work you control. Start while employed: List strengths/skills, note problems people actually have, and find the overlap where you can help. Validate fast: Talk to potential customers, test whether your idea solves a real pain, and use feedback to refine or drop it. Don't rush the exit: You don't need to quit to begin—build on the side to reduce risk and gain clarity. Patience beats hacks: Real results take time; avoid shortcuts and focus on consistent, purposeful actions. Reframe loyalty: Companies move on quickly; protect your health, energy, and long-term goals. One next step: Identify one tiny move this week that advances your purpose (conversation, draft offer, or research call).

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with author and transformation coach Chandra Lynn about her framework Root to Rise: How to Love Life. Chandra breaks down the five “root” areas (health, relationships/self, career, friends, family) and the six human needs adapted from Maslow to show how high achievers and everyday people get stuck in survival mode—and how to shift into purposeful, balanced living. You'll learn practical tools like the Emotional Triad, simple journaling prompts (“What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?”), and how defining your taproot (your why) becomes fuel for resilient action.   About the guest  : Chandra Lynn is the author of Root to Rise: How to Love Life, a certified transformation coach, and founder of GlowLiving. After 25 years leading marketing for brands like Apple and Mercedes, she built a method blending human needs psychology with soulful practices to help people cultivate resilience, balance, and purpose.   Key takeaways: Root to Rise framework: Balance five roots—health, relationship/self, career, friends, family—then align them with six human needs to exit survival mode and create fulfillment. Six human needs (adapted): Security/certainty, variety, connection/intimacy, growth, significance/self-worth, and transcendence/contribution. From overwhelm to clarity: Use three prompts—What do I want? Why do I want it? What am I willing to do about it?—to prioritize healthy, meaningful action. Emotional Triad tool: Shift state by changing (1) physiology (move, breathe, sunlight), (2) focus (gratitude, possibility), and (3) meaning/self-talk (be your own best friend). Taproot = your why: Identify the deeper motivation that sustains momentum when discipline fades (e.g., showing up as the best parent/leader/creator). Embodied signals: Survival mode shows up as tension, sleep and appetite swings; fulfillment feels balanced, energized, and self-supportive. Journal to integrate: Ask great questions, write first, analyze later—let insight surface before you optimize. Update the blueprint: Release outdated childhood expectations; define success on present values, not social comparison.   Connect with the guest   Website: https://glowliving.com/ Signed book + 25% off (U.S. only): glowliving.etsy.com — use code THRIVE25 Also available on Amazon (international orders)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty speaks with Kyra Faison Gardner—certified transformational life & retirement coach, author of Who Do You Think You Are?, and founder of Prospect & Refuge Life—about “threshold alchemy”: using life transitions (midlife shifts, retirement, loss, reinvention) to create purpose. Kyra unpacks practical rituals (silence at sunrise, gratitude journaling, mindful community) and a direct message: you don't need permission to change direction. This episode is built for listeners seeking midlife reinvention, post-career identity, spiritual grounding, and daily practices that stick.   About the Guest:   Kyra Faison Gardner is a transformational life & retirement coach and author of Who Do You Think You Are? After more than 20 years as a founder/CEO—and rebuilding after a devastating house fire—she now helps people in their second and third acts redesign life with intention through Prospect & Refuge Life.   Key Takeaways: Threshold alchemy defined: transform uncertain life stages into meaningful new chapters by reframing identity beyond roles and titles. Identity ≠ job: you are not your career, marital status, or parental role; reinvention starts when you expand who you believe you are. Rituals over routines: morning silence, sunrise, brief meditation, and gratitude journaling stabilize mood and sharpen purpose. Body-markers for intention: simple anchors (remove shoes, anoint hands/feet, light a candle) signal your nervous system it's time to focus. Community matters: find cohorts or circles that see your current self and support who you're becoming. Permission slip: you already have permission to be happy, change your mind, and pursue long-delayed curiosities. Spiritual flexibility: you don't need the “right” label for the sacred; name it how it resonates and keep going. Micro-choices win: small, repeatable acts (feed the birds, a poem, one page of writing) accumulate into identity change. From trauma to truth: healing isn't linear; honest writing and coaching help you share without losing peace. Aging as expansion: retirement and midlife aren't endings—they're invitations to create, learn, and serve.   Connect with the Guest   Website: https://www.prospectrefugelife.com/ Substack: Seeking Prospect & Refuge (poetry, blessings, essays)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik speaks with Kelly Lorenzen—award-winning entrepreneur and CEO of KLM Consulting—about sustainable entrepreneurship. Kelly unpacks practical systems for avoiding burnout, her CODA method for delegation, the role of community, and why health must sit at the center of every founder's strategy. She also shares how navigating breast cancer clarified her definition of success and pushed her to create businesses that serve life, not consume it. This focused conversation gives founders concrete steps to reclaim time, protect well-being, and scale with intention.   About the guest  : Kelly Lorenzen is the CEO of KLM Consulting (DuplicateMyselfKLM.com), a marketing and management firm helping small businesses grow sustainably. With 20+ years of ownership experience, a degree in Entrepreneurship & Communications from Arizona State, and a PMP certification, Kelly is a breast-cancer survivor, philanthropist, and mentor committed to founder health, community, and systems that scale.   Key takeaways: Resilience is built, not born: repetitive “recover and re-tool” cycles created capacity to withstand shocks. Mindset interrupt: quickly redirect negative spirals to neutral or positive action to prevent cognitive tailspins during crises. CODA for workload clarity:K = Keep only tasks only you can do; O = Outsource expert work (tax, marketing); D = Delegate five- to ten-minute tasks; A = Automate repeatables. Health first, always: preventive care and daily self-care are strategic levers, not luxuries. Community is a safety net: mentors, peers, and teams function like “insurance” when life hits. Redefine success: choose wise ambition—business should sustain your life, not replace it. Service fuels leadership: philanthropy and giving back restore meaning and reduce isolation. Practical next steps: brain-dump tasks, tag with CODA, book your overdue health check, and schedule one weekly connection that isn't about sales.   Connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Kelly Lorenzen Website: https://duplicatemyselfklm.com/   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Healthy Waves, Dr. Amanda Adkins—double-board certified in internal and lifestyle medicine with a certificate in plant-based nutrition—breaks down practical, evidence-based steps women can use to reduce risk of diabetes, hypertension and chronic inflammation. We cover high-impact foods (leafy greens, beans, whole-food plants), simple habit swaps for busy caregivers, how to avoid restriction cycles, and how lifestyle choices influence gene expression (epigenetics). If you want clear, scalable strategies that combine science and faith for long-term health, this episode delivers actionable guidance you can start this week. About the guest: Dr. Amanda Adkins is a lifestyle medicine physician and health strategist who helps women prevent — and sometimes reverse — chronic conditions through plant-forward nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. She blends clinical evidence with spiritual grounding to create sustainable, habit-based care. Key takeaways: Prioritize leafy greens daily: they supply nitrates and antioxidants that support vascular health and blood pressure control. Add beans and legumes for fiber to stabilise blood glucose — plant protein and fibre lower insulin resistance. Reduce saturated fat and refined carbs; most benefits come from adding whole plants rather than punitive restriction. When pressed for time, choose fresh, pre-made foods cautiously: check ingredients for added sugar, salt, and fats. Build habits by adding before subtracting — introduce plant foods first, then crowd out less healthy options to avoid restriction cycles. Measure health with function metrics (energy, BP, sleep) rather than only scale weight to prevent shame and perfectionism. Protein concerns on plant diets are typically overstated — most people meet needs via beans, lentils, nuts and whole grains. Epigenetics: genes are a deck of cards — lifestyle (diet, sleep, stress, movement) helps “play the hand” differently and can reduce disease risk. Self-care is not selfish: short, consistent investment in rest, food prep, and movement improves long-term capacity to care for others. Small, repeatable keystone habits + tracking two feel/function metrics yield sustainable improvement vs big, short-term overhauls.
