In this eye-opening episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with the provocative and endlessly curious Dr. Tom Cowan, a physician known for challenging mainstream scientific assumptions and encouraging people to look deeper than the models they're taught to trust. From the earliest moments of his childhood, Dr. Cowan questioned everything — a mindset that ultimately shaped his unconventional medical career and his bold critiques of modern biology. In this conversation, Dr. Tom and Mike "C-Roc" dive into big foundational ideas: What are we actually made of? How do we know what we think we know? Why do certain scientific “facts” go unchallenged?

A powerhouse of faith, family, and fierce integrity, he has turned personal struggle into a dedicated mission to help people become unstoppable in life and business. After the delight of being on his That1Podcast and joining his Quantum Group, it was such a joy to welcome him to Intimate Conversations for a deeper dialogue of real and raw truths about success, surrender, and divine alignment. In this grounded and uplifting episode we explored: -How Mike went from building an eight-figure mortgage company to creating That One Network, a divine calling born from a moment of total on his knees surrender. -The breakdown in his kitchen that became a breakthrough—how releasing control opened the door to grace, flow, and purpose. -His philosophy of being a living demonstration—showing up in body, mind, and spirit as an example of service, discipline, and love. -The sacred dance (although he's not much of a dancer xox) of marriage and fatherhood, and how he learned to lead through humility, attention, and acts of service. -The power of prioritizing what truly matters, from family dinners to prayer to workouts that strengthen both body and spirit. -The simple but profound prayer he repeats daily: "Lord, give me the thoughts to have, the words to speak, the actions to take, and the people to surround myself with to serve Your mission." -Our shared reflection on judgment, ego, fear, and shame—and how forgiveness, grace, and intention allow us to return to self love and being used as an instrument of the Divine.  -The deeper truth that fear is not the enemy but a compass guiding us toward growth, and how embracing it can keep you aligned with divine flow. -How fitness, faith, and consistency anchor his beingness, helping him embody the message he teaches: further faster… patient urgency.  Mike's story is one of redemption, resilience, and what I like to call Noble Badass Leadership. He reminds us that when we surrender to something higher, life becomes lighter. What once felt like a burden becomes a blessing, and service turns into sacred purpose. -AND I am the first ever in the 2000+ Podcasts he's ever been on… to DANCE in After the Show on Patreon.
