Descripción

In this inspiring episode, I sit down with my good friend Matt for an open conversation about life, growth, and overcoming challenges. We discuss our love for America, striving to be an “all-star” in life, why hard work earns rewards, building kids’ confidence, the three C’s (Character, Competence, Connection), and choosing standards over rules. Matt shares his journey through therapy after his father’s suicide, touching on the “stains of life” and why it’s crucial to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you’re struggling with mental health or suicidal thoughts, please ask for help—you’re not alone. We also cover the power of reading, Schroeder’s holy trinity of books (The Greatest Salesman in the World, The Midnight Library, Family Wealth: Keeping It in the Family), and remembering to simply “enjoy the day.” A must-listen for anyone chasing excellence, strengthening family, and finding hope. If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) in the US. Thank you for listening!

episode Ep #47 From Processed to Powerful artwork

Ep #47 From Processed to Powerful

There was a time where I just accepted feeling like crap as normal. Hospital visits, constant tummy aches, headaches, low energy, brain fog, depression-not feeling like myself… and I didn’t even question it. I was eating what everyone else was eating—fast, convenient, processed and just dealing with the consequences. In this episode, I talk about the shift from processed foods to whole foods. I started paying attention. I started choosing real food over fake food. And slowly, everything changed—my energy, my mindset, my discipline, and the way I show up for my family. This isn’t about being extreme or cutting everything out. It’s about taking your power back, one decision at a time. Because the truth is… the pain of discipline is a lot less than the pain of feeling stuck in a body that doesn’t perform the way it should. If you’ve been feeling off, tired, or just not like yourself—this one’s for you. If this episode speaks to you, please share it! This is something I am extremely passionate about because it saved my life. Thank you for listening and I hope you have a great day!

Ep #46 From SSRI’s to Freedom: My Story

This one is personal. In this episode, I open up about my journey with mental health medications—specifically long-term SSRI use—and what it’s really like living a life dependent on them. For years, this was my normal… but not without consequences. I talk about my own attempt to come off SSRIs—and the reality of just how brutal that experience was. If you’ve ever tried, or even thought about it, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. We also get into the bigger picture. I touch on the recent push for research into ibogaine following a bill signed by Donald Trump, and why this could be a game-changer for people struggling with mental health and dependency. I also share the story of someone I deeply respect, Jordan Peterson, and his battle with neurological injury tied to medication—something that hit close to home for me. This episode isn’t about telling anyone what to do. It’s about sharing my experience, the highs, the lows, and the hope that there may be another path forward. If you or someone you love is navigating mental health, medication, or the idea of coming off—this conversation matters. I hope you enjoy the episode and thank you for listening.
