Most people are performing.
Playing roles. Seeking approval.
And wondering why they still feel empty.
In this episode, I sit down with Christian de la Huerta to talk about what happens when we finally stop seeking external validation and start living from a place of grounded authenticity.
We dive deep into identity, ego, presence, and how to stop hiding behind the mask you built just to survive.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected from who you really are, this is your reminder:
You don’t need permission to be yourself.

There’s more going on than what you see.
The sales calls. The stress. The leadership pressure.
What if it’s not just business… but battle?
In this episode, I sit down with David Pasqualone, entrepreneur, speaker, and unshakable man of faith, to talk about the intersection of leadership, spiritual warfare, and what it really means to show up fully aligned in both business and life.
We dive into what’s pulling men off course, why most leaders are fighting battles they don't know how to name, and how to stop pretending you're fine when you’re barely hanging on.
If you’ve ever felt like the pressure to provide is crushing you from the inside out, this episode will hit deep.

You’ve been told your job is to provide. Put your head down. Work hard. Handle it.
But what happens when providing isn’t enough?
In this episode, I sit down with Sean McManus to talk about what it really means to lead, with faith, with purpose, and with presence.
We dig into fatherhood, masculinity, spiritual leadership, and why so many men feel alone even when they’re “doing everything right.”
This one is for every man who’s trying to show up fully, not just as a provider, but as a protector, a guide, and a man led by purpose.
You are more than what you earn.
Where do you feel called to lead more intentionally?

You’ve been chasing greatness.
Checking boxes. Winning on paper.
But what if success isn’t the same as significance?
In this episode, I sit down with Fahad Farhat to talk about what real greatness actually looks like, not just in business, but in your home, your habits, your presence.
We break down how to stay rooted in who you are while building something meaningful… and how to stop performing for a scoreboard that doesn’t even matter.
This conversation is about more than winning.
It’s about showing up for the kind of life that wins back.

You can chase success your whole life and still feel empty when you get there.
In this episode, I sit down with Constance Curtis to talk about what happens when you finally realize… the hustle isn’t it.
We get real about burnout, identity, boundaries, and what it takes to stop proving yourself to the world and start living from peace instead.
If you’ve been grinding non-stop and still feel like it’s not enough, this is your permission to let go.

You’ve been working out harder.
Eating less.
Sweating more.
But the fat still isn’t coming off.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Len Lopez, a chiropractor, nutritionist, and elite performance coach, to break down why most people are training in the wrong zone and what to do instead.
We talk about why your heart rate matters more than your willpower, how overtraining leads to burnout (not fat loss), and how to finally create a workout that serves your energy, goals, and long-term health.
Stop chasing sweat. Start building a body that actually works for you.
What’s been your biggest frustration with fitness?

You’re not lazy.
You’re just exhausted from trying to be everything to everyone.
In this episode, I sit down with Rachel Spekman to talk about why high achievers struggle with joy, why we confuse busyness with value, and what it really means to build a life that fits your soul, not just your résumé.
This conversation is a permission slip to slow down, check in, and finally stop building success that costs you your peace.
Busy ≠Successful.

You don’t need more hustle.
You need a smarter partnership with your mind.
In this episode, I sit down with Marnie Wills to talk about how she used AI to buy back her time, grow multiple businesses, and stay present in her real life.
This isn’t about robots replacing you.
It’s about finally building systems that support the person you’re becoming.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by all the things you “have” to do, this one will shift how you think about tech, time, and trust.
Work less. Think more.

You’ve spent years showing up the way people expected you to. You got the job. Built the image. Played the part.
But underneath all, of it you’ve been hiding.
In this episode, I sit down with Hersh Rephun, a brand messaging expert and former stand-up comic, to talk about what it really means to be seen. Not as your job title. Not as your performance. But as the person you actually are.
We talk about the pressure to perform, the cost of curating yourself to fit in, and what changes when you stop hiding behind the version of you that’s easier for the world to accept. If you’ve ever felt unseen or misrepresented, even in your own life, this conversation will remind you:
you don’t have to become someone else to be valuable.

You built the life. Got the job. Made it work.
But deep down… you know this isn’t it.
You’re not broken, you’re just living a story that was never yours.
In this episode with Clay Garrett, we talk about what it takes to stop settling, walk away from autopilot, and build a life that actually fits.
It’s never too late to wake up.

And he got there.

You got the title. You checked the boxes.
But deep down… something still feels off.
In this episode, I sit down with leadership expert Matt Kutz to talk about why so many high performers feel stuck even when they’re "succeeding."
We unpack why chasing promotions can pull you away from your purpose, how real leadership starts by saying no, and what it means to operate from your sweet spot, not your résumé.
If success is costing you peace, it’s time to ask if you're climbing the wrong ladder.

Mitchell Osmond had everything success was SUPPOSED to look like:
A career on fire.
Leadership. Recognition. Respect.
But behind closed doors?
He was losing it all.
✔️ $100K in debt
✔️ On the verge of divorce
✔️ Addicted and emotionally numb
✔️ A wife who said, “I’m not bringing a child into this.”
This episode isn’t about business. It’s about being a man.
The kind who stops performing… and starts showing up.
If you're leading everyone but losing yourself, listen to this.

Most people don’t make decisions. They drift into them.
Default jobs.
Default relationships.
Default identities.
In this episode, I sit down with Larry Easto, a former lawyer turned author and legacy creator, to talk about how UNINTENTIONAL CHOICES shape our lives more than we realize… and how to finally take the wheel.
We talk about:
âś” Why most of us follow paths we never chose
✔ How to stop outsourcing your purpose
✔ And the underestimated power of simply listening to yourself, to others, and to God
If life feels like it’s happening to you, this episode is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.

We’re moving fast.
Checking boxes.
Crushing goals.
But if we’re being honest…
we’re completely disconnected.
In this episode, I sit down with Tigrilla Gardenia, a bioenergetic business mentor who helps people reconnect with themselves by literally learning how to hear the messages in nature.
Sounds out there, I know.
But the truth is, creation has been trying to speak to you all along.
This isn’t about hugging trees.
It’s about quieting the chaos long enough to hear what your soul’s been trying to say.
If you’ve been feeling out of tune, this conversation might just be the recalibration you need.

You’ve checked all the boxes. Career, home, family, but something still feels off.
In this episode, I sit down with Stacie Shifflett, founder of Modern Consciousness, to talk about the invisible weight so many people carry when they’ve done EVERYTHING RIGHT but still feel disconnected and unfulfilled.
We talk about what really robs people of joy, the false expectations we chase, and how to stop living life on autopilot.
This isn’t about blowing up your life.
It’s about waking up to it. Before it’s too late.

Most men are carrying pain behind a performance.
They’re told to be strong, to lead, to push through… but inside, they’re exhausted, disconnected, and ashamed of not measuring up.
In this episode, I sit down with Josh Tomeoni, filmmaker, creator of The Derelict, and a man who’s been through the fire, to talk about what it really means to be a man today.
We dive into the cost of faking strength, the silent weight men carry in marriage and life, and how to stop performing and start living with truth, presence, and purpose.
This one isn’t soft.
It’s REAL, and it might just be what sets you free.

So many men are crushing it in business, family, and life…
Yet still can’t celebrate themselves.
In this episode, I sit down with Dillon Andres to unpack the hidden reasons why men struggle with identity, self-worth, and emotional freedom, especially when it comes to receiving love and recognition.
We talk about what happens when you grow up believing your value is tied to what you produce, how to break free from masculine conditioning that teaches you to suppress, and what it looks like to finally start living from a place of truth, not pressure.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re the strong one for everyone else but feel empty on the inside, this episode is your permission to slow down, feel again, and stop earning your worth.
