In this episode of the Ultimate Journey of Self-Care, Alison had the privilege of speaking with Steve Gallegos, a multi-faceted guide who wears many hats: an attorney, author, speaker, and consultant. With his newly published book, Unshackled, they delved deep into how individuals can redefine their self-care practices by reevaluating their core beliefs and narratives that shape their lives. Steve's journey from overcoming a troubled youth to thriving in various professional roles exemplifies that personal transformation is possible through conscious choice and awareness.Steve shared his personal journey including the pivotal moment during his time in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he discovered the power of looking beyond himself to help others. This experience served as a cornerstone for his understanding of self-worth and value, leading him to advocate for a mindset shift in how we perceive our lives and the stories we tell ourselves. They explored how many of us often unconsciously act out scripts written by societal norms and past experiences. With insights from his book, he provides a framework to help people rewrite those scripts and take charge of their narratives.Steve shared profound insights about overcoming feelings of unworthiness and imposter syndrome, which can hold individuals back from pursuing their true potential. Common themes emerged regarding why people seek guidance: many grapple with the belief that they are not deserving of happiness or success. He encourages listeners to recognize that these beliefs are often rooted in childhood experiences, and he advocates for awareness as a key first step towards transformation.Moreover, they touched on how societal pressures and the pursuit of happiness can lead to a sense of competition rather than collaboration. By creating an environment of support, individuals can thrive instead of just surviving. Throughout their conversation, Steve reiterated the importance of envisioning what a fulfilled life looks like and the necessity of taking small, actionable steps towards achieving it.Listeners will gain valuable takeaways from this episode, including the message that change does not always require massive leaps but can often begin with a simple yes or no to opportunities that come our way. Steve's heartfelt commitment to helping others through his work and community initiatives reflects a genuine desire to empower individuals to take ownership of their lives.HIGHLIGHTS:16:06 Unshackled: The Book24:13 The Pursuit of Happiness26:14 Tips for Transformationconnect with Steve:website: https://www.steviegsuccess.comfree resources: https://www.steviegsuccess.com/learning-loungeUnshackled (book): https://a.co/d/aYHhbsWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK2024 ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram

We explore how removing immigration friction and backing immigrant founders at day zero can produce outsized innovation, through the lens of a VC platform and a biotech founder reprogramming tumors with mRNA and AI. The conversation blends policy, venture economics, and a bold oncology thesis with practical advice and personal stories.• immigrant advantage as resilience, clarity, and risk appetite• Unshackled's Day Zero model and economics• technical visionaries and system disruptors archetypes• turning tumors into immune allies with mRNA and AI• off the shelf approach across solid tumors• storytelling skills for technical CEOs• curated community as capital and catalyst• immigration policy takes on points systems and talent pipelines• why fear based rules hurt innovation• reflections on curiosity, kindness, and gritWhat happens when you bet on a founder before there's a product, revenue, or even a company? We bring together Manan Mehta, founding partner at Unshackled Ventures, and Rustam Esanov, co-founder and CEO of Reprogram Biosciences, to unpack how day‑zero investing meets deep tech ambition—and how that mix can upend cancer therapy.Manan opens the curtain on Unshackled's model: underwrite immigrant founders when capital and confidence are scarcest, handle immigration legal end‑to‑end, and curate a community that knows when to introduce the next believer. He breaks down their two founder archetypes—technical visionaries and system disruptors—plus the quotients that matter: intelligence, adversity, emotional, and social. We dig into why early belief earns better economics, how consensus‑driven VC misses mispriced opportunities, and what it takes to move a company from a first experiment to a milestone investors can't ignore.Rustam shares the personal spark behind his mission and the science powering it. Using AI‑guided design and mRNA, his team aims to reprogram tumor cells into immune‑like allies, opening the “fortress” from the inside so the body can attack solid tumors. He explains why an off‑the‑shelf approach beats personalization for scale, how early out‑of‑pocket experiments de‑risked the thesis, and the single most practical lesson he learned transitioning from bench science to CEO: tell a story so clear a teenager can understand it. Manan Mehta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mananm/Manan Mehta is the Founding Partner of Unshackled Ventures, the only inception-stage (pre-revenue, pre-product, pre-incorporation) venture fund focused entirely on backing immigrant-founded startups.  For over 11 years, Manan has led the firm, which provides capital, network access, and full immigration support, having sponsored over 300 immigration filings for founders, often before they incorporate their businesses. Rustam Esanov:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/rustamesanov/Rustam Esanov is the CEO and Co-founder of Reprogram Biosciences, a deep-tech company developing mRNA reprogramming therapeutics.  His mission is to turn tumors into immune-like allies to treat solid cancers by leveraging a proprietary AI platform to build a precision cell-reprogramming engine to solve one of the most complex challenges in medicine.Website: https://www.position2.com/podcast/Rajiv Parikh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajivparikh/Sandeep Parikh: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepparikh/Email us with any feedback for the show: sparkofages.podcast@position2.com

Part 2: Forgiveness as the Foundation of RecoveryKeton Douglass rejoins Mike and Glenn for the conclusion of their two-part discussion, focusing on the core themes of forgiveness, healing, and addiction through her work with the iTHIRST initiative.As a theologian, Douglass asserts that a lack of forgiveness is a destructive venom that actively threatens recovery, noting that the emotional weight of resentment primarily harms oneself.Key insights from the conversation:The Power of Forgiveness: By unlearning childhood wounds and embracing the concept of a loving, forgiving Higher Power, deep healing becomes possible. The message is simple: if God can forgive, so can we.Clearing Resentments: Turning toward a Higher Power helps clear away resentments and resists the temptation of idolatry, leading to a path of righteousness.The Tripod of Wellness: True freedom requires surrender and work, balancing the three pillars of wellness: Spirituality, Mental, and Physical health.Prayer and Work: The solution for the hurting lies in combining spiritual work, specifically prayer, with concrete effort.Finally, Douglass shares her involvement in the upcoming TV show, Unshackled, on the Shalom World Network.
