As evidenced in their own lives; inspiring and motivating news is usually bad news turned good. The hurdles, obstacles and setbacks that people have faced but used to fuel their passions and purpose are often where you find the gems. Welcome to Livin’ Good Currency where our hosts Tony and Tobias converse with some of the most inspiring and insightful people in the world on how they discovered their purpose, pursued their passions and overcame a myriad of obstacles
Our hosts are living examples of this. Tobias Tubbs who was given a double life sentence without the possibility of parole for a crime he didn’t commit, intentionally chose to serve those 28 years as an opportunity to be a light where darkness otherwise prevailed. He became an expert in mindfulness, conflict resolution, art/gardening, spirituality, philosophy, and natural healing arts to positively impact the lives of thousands of young men and women.
Tony Samadani seemingly came from the other side of that coin as an entertainment lawyer. When he was struck with a debilitating disease and health scare, Tony needed to discover a path back to health. This process allowed him to go on to inspire many lives in rediscovering their own health and living a life of purpose. One fateful day brought these two worlds together.

Yona Shtern | Changing Lives of the Sleep Deprived
The Lesson: Many major chronic health disturbances like depression and inadequate sleep are treated in the west with self-serving temporary crutches like prescription drugs. When Yona Shtern was taking over the helm of a publicly-traded wellness wearable company Hapbee, his normal understanding that he could create value for investors flipped after having the first good night of sleep he could remember using their product. Now, he sees his powers of growing a business directly correlates to the number of people he can help—veterans, prison guards, caretakers, and it's giving him new purpose.
Notable Excerpt: "I wasn't able to sleep at night, quite frankly. I became a believer because I became a user, and then something really unforeseen happened to me. I was maybe in the chair for two weeks when I started getting LinkedIn messages from people saying they had tried the product and that it had changed their lives, and if there was any way they could help us out. I felt I had a responsibility to get this into the hands of more people, and figure out a way to change people's lives."
The Guest: Yona is a serial entrepreneur who has successfully scaled disruptive businesses in technology and consumer goods. He was CEO of Arrive (digital parking), CEO of Beyond the Rack (e-commerce marketplace) and Board Member at Swap.com (resale marketplace). Today, Yona is the Chairman and CEO of Hapbee – a publicly-traded company whose wearable wellness technology is on a mission to improve the lives of 10 million people.
Yona was also Start Up Canada’s Entrepreneur of The Year in 2014 and is a frequent speaker to management students at McGill University (his alma mater), Yale and at many start-up and business conferences.
The Product: Hapbee is the next generation of wearable wellness technology. Hapbee is a chemical free solution to help with sleep, performance, and mood, all without side-effects. Unlike other wearables that simply monitor your health, Hapbee gives you the power to actively change it.
