In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Darren Schmidt, a chiropractor who has dedicated his practice exclusively to clinical nutrition and nutritional healing. He is the founder of the Nutritional Healing Center of Ann Arbor and a nationally recognized speaker on chronic illness and metabolic health. Dr. Schmidt's nontraditional path into healthcare stems from his rejection of conventional medical models that have failed. Drawing from over 30 years of clinical experience, he explains why many people never fully recover from chronic illness — and how addressing cellular function, toxin overload, and nutritional deficiencies can change that… We also dive into his 2024 book, Optimal Health: The 7 Step System to Transforming Your Health with Nutritional Healing, where he outlines the fundamental causes of chronic disease, including the often-misunderstood difference between detoxification and drainage. Dr. Schmidt breaks down how issues like mold exposure, parasites, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic stress quietly undermine health. This discussion covers: What separates Dr. Schmidt from other doctors. How diet and supplements help people get well. The unique mechanisms of chronic illness.

Clay Talley is the founder of CX Immersive. He shares how his career began in water parks, expanded through the Disney College Program as a Jungle Cruise skipper, and evolved into building and implementing cohesive guest experiences across immersive projects like The Void, Ballast VR, and more. Today, he supports operators and visionaries as an implementation specialist, bridging silos like marketing, operations, and revenue so the experience feels consistent from the website to the exit gate. In this interview, Clay talks about intentional world-class experiences, vision-first, and staff as sherpa. Intentional world-class experiences “I think world-class means intentionality. What are you intentionally creating for that guest?” Clay frames “world-class” as doing things on purpose, not by accident. He explains how teams can unintentionally become reactionary, building policies around one-off situations, and how that mindset can waste effort and muddy the experience. His goal is to move organizations toward proactive design, where decisions are guided by what will reliably serve most guests, not edge cases. He also emphasizes that intentionality shows up in practical details. From simplifying ticket sales on mobile, to designing guest flow, to using elements like staffing placement and sensory cues, he sees “world-class” as repeatable, scalable, and aligned across touchpoints, while still supporting revenue, branding, and operations. Vision-first “Before I make any strategies or the plan we're going to do, I want to understand where are they at, what do they want to do, and where is that delta?” Clay explains that a strong guest experience starts by clarifying what the organization is trying to create, then aligning people and processes around it. In his fractional CXO approach, he begins by learning the current state, understanding the desired future, and identifying the gap. He shadows leaders, observes the operation firsthand, reviews documentation, and pressure-tests the journey like a guest would, including the digital path to purchase. From there, he prioritizes low-hanging fruit that builds momentum and sustainability. The vision becomes the anchor, and the work becomes translating that vision into what guests and staff actually see, feel, and do each day, in ways that are realistic for the business to maintain. Staff as a sherpa “They're the sherpa of the experience, where they're climbing this mountain and they, you know, create this experience.” Clay describes a balancing act between technology and people. He wants technology to handle what guests can do on their own, freeing staff to focus on what only humans can do, especially solving problems and creating connections in key moments. In his view, the worst scenario is pushing guests into impersonal systems when they need help, while staff are stuck in roles that don't allow them to truly guide the experience. The sherpa metaphor becomes a standard for frontline purpose. Staff are not just performing tasks; they're guiding guests through the journey, noticing pinch points, stepping in with confidence, and making the experience feel cared for, consistent, and memorable.   Clay welcomes connection requests and DMs on LinkedIn, and you can email him at clay@CXimmersive.com.

What happens when we stop rushing around and pause to take in the vastness of the world around us? In this episode of Happy Enough, we explore awe — the emotion that can make you feel surprisingly small, and, at the same time, happier. To break down the science behind awe and why it makes us feel better, Garvia speaks with Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and the author of ‘Awe: The new science of everyday wonder and how it can transform your life'. They discuss how awe affects our bodies and simple ways to incorporate it into our lives. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When MPR News host Kerri Miller travels to small towns around Minnesota for her Rural Voice series, she hears over and over again about the crisis of loneliness and social isolation. People say that even in communities where they know everyone, it's easy to feel adrift.It's no surprise to neuroscientist Ben Rein, who studies the inner workings of the human brain. He writes in his new book that our brains have been shaped for social contact, both inside and out. When we don't get enough social interaction, our bodies are stressed. And in our post-COVID, screen-obsessed world, a good chunk of the population is suffering from too much alone time.Rein joins Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas to talk about why friendships are as important to health as how often you exercise and how much you sleep, and why online relationships aren't enough for a brain that's evolved to expect face-to-face.

What happens to your gut when you stop drinking? Your skin? Your liver, your heart, your blood pressure, your brain's gray matter? My personal hot take is that if pharmaceutical companies could bottle the effects of being alcohol-free, it would solve most diseases and chronic issues people have today, because the before and after difference of drinking and not drinking is INSANE. When I went alcohol-free, I not only felt and looked better, but I saw major changes in my biometrics, including my blood pressure and cholesterol, which were not what I thought they should be in my 20s and 30s. In this episode, I go deep on what happens to your body on a physiological level when you don't drink for a month, with less bloating, inflammation, and gray brain matter, and better digestion, nutrient absorption – the list goes on and on. If you're doing Dry January, be sure to check out the other episodes in the series, including Episode 309, about the mindset shifts you want to have this month, and Episode 310, about the weird side effects of Dry January.  (P.S. Did you know there's a video component to this podcast? Listen on YouTube and give us a follow so you never miss an episode.)   IN THIS EPISODE: The shocking science behind what happens in just 31 days without alcohol, from your gut microbiome transforming in days to your skin visibly glowing within weeks My own personal journey in lowering my blood pressure and cholesterol just by ditching alcohol, which was far more effective than my "miracle" tea and wellness hacks How skipping alcohol starts regenerating brain cells, boosts focus, memory, and mental clarity, and unlocks creativity most people never knew they had Powerful proof that your body is a healing machine: C-reactive protein drops, liver repairs itself, blood sugar rebalances, and cancer markers plummet     LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Check out Euphoric the Club, the premier club for successful women who don't drink (and the women who are becoming them) where you can get access to all my alcohol-free programs and methodology, coaching, and trainings for only $62.  Our next Thought Leader Mastermind starts at the end of January and includes a VIP weekend in Hawaii.

We all say we're “busy.” But busy doesn't always mean fulfilled. In this episode, I'm reflecting on key themes from The Happier Hour by Cassie Holmes and sharing three practical ways to get your time back without waking up earlier, doing more, or overhauling your entire life. This conversation is about shifting how we experience our hours, not just how we fill them. We'll talk about: • Why disorganization quietly drains your energy• How distractions steal more than just minutes, they steal momentum • Why doing the most important, time-sensitive thing first can change how your entire day feels This isn't about productivity for productivity's sake. It's about alignment, attention, and making space for what actually matters, inside the life you're already living. If you've ever ended the day feeling exhausted but unsure why… or productive but disconnected… this episode is an invitation to slow down, get intentional, and start reclaiming your hours, one decision at a time.

Josh Henderson is the CEO of Bonnet Springs Park in Lakeland, Florida. His career path spans the for-profit attractions world, starting as a lifeguard and expanding through roles across water parks and major operators like Six Flags and Great Wolf Lodge, along with leadership in privately funded public parks. Today, he leads a nonprofit natural attraction designed to deliver a high-quality experience without a gate fee, supported by donations and mission-driven revenue. In this interview, Josh talks about being a student of the industry, community dictating the business model, and emerging natural attractions. Being a student of the industry “I think being a student of the industry is starting out in one particular sect and then continuing to move on, and try and learn as much about each discipline as I can, really served me well and helped me grow in my career.” Josh frames his growth as a willingness to expand beyond his original lane. Early on, he was convinced aquatics was his forever path, but as his interests evolved, he leaned into learning disciplines he once avoided, such as food and beverage. That mindset now shows up in how he spends time in outlets, looks for new revenue opportunities, and stays curious about parts of the business he doesn't claim to have mastered. He also shares how he learned by putting himself in rooms where he wasn't the expert: “going into the uncomfortable situations where you're not the smartest person in the room, and and being humble enough to accept that.” Conferences, peer conversations, and surrounding himself with specialists became his playbook for continuous learning, especially in fast-changing areas like marketing. Community dictating the business model “We've allowed the community to dictate part of our business model.” Bonnet Springs Park wasn't designed in a vacuum. The founders conducted focus groups and asked residents what they wanted most. One clear answer shaped a major revenue and experience driver: an event venue that could host hundreds, where people could choose their own caterer. That choice reflects a deeper clue about the park's role: it's meant to serve community needs, not just operator preferences. That same philosophy shows up operationally. Josh describes a difficult mindset shift from maximizing yield to creating shared opportunity, like bringing in authentic food trucks for festivals even when it hurts his margins: “when you're a community park and you're doing something for the betterment of the community, that means giving somebody else a chance to make a dollar as well.” In his view, the park succeeds when the community feels ownership, champions the mission, and participates in sustaining it. Emerging natural attractions “It barely existed when I got into it back in 2017.” Josh positions Bonnet Springs as part of a growing sector that blends nature, placemaking, and attractions-grade operations. He calls it something you almost have to see to understand: a free park that aims to deliver “a paid level experience for free,” with immaculate restrooms, interactive exhibits, and accessibility features like a free internal tram system so guests with mobility challenges can fully enjoy the property. He also links this sector's growth to professionalization: daily inspections, strong documentation, and applying paid-attraction standards to a free environment because attendance and wear-and-tear are so intense. The opportunity, he suggests, is for leaders to think of the attractions world as an umbrella where “good business is good business,” and where creating “family experiences” can look different than building roller coasters while still delivering the emotional outcomes the industry is known for.   Josh shared that people can learn more at BonnetSpringsPark.com.

Today, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Sharon Bergquist to the podcast. Sharon is a board-certified physician, research scientist, founder of Emory Lifestyle Medicine & Wellness, and an internationally recognized leader in lifestyle medicine.  She has led or co-led over a dozen clinical trials that have received $61 million in funding to evaluate lifestyle interventions and identify early biomarkers for chronic disease, including ongoing studies for early detection of Alzheimer's disease and cancer. Her work is at the forefront of how we understand the role of stress and resilience on our health and longevity. As the author of The Stress Paradox: Why You Need Stress to Live Longer, Healthier, and Happier, Dr. Bergquist brings a deeply personal and scientific perspective to the conversation. She shares how early-life adversity shaped her understanding of resilience and how decades of clinical research led her to challenge the conventional narrative about stress. Sharon explains why not all stress is harmful, how the body is biologically designed for growth through challenge, and why eliminating stress may actually harm long-term health and longevity. In our conversation, we explore the science behind how good stress in the "Goldilocks Zone" can strengthen the body and mind. Sharon outlines how purposeful stress supports mitochondrial health, cognitive function, physical capacity, and emotional well-being, and explains why recovery is just as essential as the challenges we create and overcome.

In this episode of Joy Loving Home's five-part runway series to 2026, Joy shares an "intentionally flexible" planning approach that fits changing days and different brains. She explains how to use a monthly spread for time-bound events and a simple weekly setup to track pending items and celebrate what you actually tackled. Practical tips include using pencil to allow for changes, logging completed tasks for daily wins, tracking small habits as data, and using alarms or digital reminders when helpful. The method works in any planner or notebook and emphasizes progress over perfection.

In his speaking, Winston Churchill often deliberately made mistakes. He understood that an imperfect speech would be more persuasive and moving than a perfect speech, and he chose to make his performance better by making it worse.

This is a short, personal episode about a few things I'm intentionally doing more of in 2025—not because they sound impressive or productive, but because they've genuinely made my life calmer, healthier, and more grounded.   Rather than focusing on goals or systems, I talk through a handful of changes that have come from experience, reflection, and paying attention to what actually drains me versus what gives something back.   I share why I'm continuing to make my circle smaller without becoming closed off or cynical, why I'm done feeling uncomfortable asking for support, how I'm trying to be more mindful of how my excitement lands with different people, and why I'm working on not giving away my power just because I'm comfortable with conflict or ambiguity.   This episode isn't about cutting people off or becoming harder. It's about becoming more honest with myself—and more intentional with my time, energy, and relationships.   My hope is that as you listen, you reflect on where you might need to make similar adjustments in your own life.   What You'll Learn in This Episode   •How I'm continuing to make my circle smaller without becoming closed off — and the criteria I use to decide which relationships are worth maintaining   •What helped me stop feeling guilty about asking for support (especially for big projects like my book) and how to ask in a way that doesn't feel weird or needy   •How I'm getting better at reading how my excitement lands with different people so I don't come on too strong when I don't mean to   •How I'm working on not giving away power through over-accommodation — giving benefit of the doubt, deferring too much, and being “too nice” longer than someone's earned   ⸻   Follow Us: Website: ArtofCoaching.com Instagram: @coach_brettb X: @coach_brettb
