Ink that Heals: Tattooing Saved Marcus & He Pays it Forward

In this episode of Life Together with Brodie, I sit down with tattoo artist and BNI member Marcus Peffer to hear how tattooing became more than just art—it became a lifeline. Marcus opens up about his journey through addiction, how the craft of tattooing helped save his life, and the lessons he now carries into fatherhood, marriage, and leadership. We also talk about community, resilience, and why Marcus is stepping up to support our friend and fellow BNI member, Lee, who is facing a new leukemia diagnosis. This conversation is about second chances, the healing power of creativity, and what it means to pay it forward when someone in your community needs you most.

Student Led Strength: Ruby and Ananda Woodlands Highlanders for Hope

In this episode of Life Together with Brodie, I’m joined by two inspiring student leaders from The Woodlands High School — the president and vice president of their Mental Health Club. This was the club’s first year, and these students took the initiative to start conversations about emotional wellbeing, reduce stigma, and bring practical support and awareness to their campus. We talk about how the club got started, why mental health matters to them personally, and what they’ve learned in the process of creating something that brings students together in a powerful and honest way. From challenges to wins, they reflect on what it means to show up for each other and why student-led support systems matter now more than ever. Whether you’re a student, educator, parent, or just someone who cares about mental health, this episode will leave you hopeful and motivated.

Learning to Show Up: Cam’s Journey with ADHD, Autism, and Self-Trust

Cam opens up about the challenges of navigating life with both ADHD and Autism. From struggling with executive functioning and self-acceptance to learning how to initiate tasks and honor his own needs, Cam shares his growth story with honesty and clarity. We also talk about how he’s learned to hold boundaries in relationships and why he’s no longer responsible for someone else’s emotional wellbeing. This episode is a real look at the slow, hard, and ultimately rewarding work of becoming comfortable in your own shoes.

Reset. Rebuild. & Rise

In this episode, I finally tell the story I’ve been holding back. It’s the story of how I went from living as Peak Brodie — strong, connected, resonating high — to slowly unraveling through heartbreak, isolation, fear, and ego. I lost my job. I lost my confidence. I lost my people. But I didn’t lose myself. Not fully. Through daily habits, hard lessons in relationships, joining the Mankind Project, and finding community again with ID Life at Revolution 2025 — I began to rebuild. I also committed to the Reset 360 Challenge, where I'm testing how daily physical health impacts my mental and emotional strength. This is the rise of Peak Brodie 2.0 — and maybe you want to rise, too. Let’s do life together.
