    E253 Success Mindset — What Aviation & Publishing Teach You About Life

    Dr. Michaela welcomes Adam Witty, founder + CEO of Forbes Books, for a conversation that blends publishing, purpose, and aviation (because apparently the coolest people do both).

    Adam shares how he fell into the world of books through a summer internship that sparked a lifelong obsession with storytelling—and why he believes literature has the power to genuinely change lives.

    Then… we shift into the cockpit.

    Adam talks about how a friend’s encouragement nudged him into getting his pilot’s license—and how flying has become a major part of both his business travel and personal life.

    Together, they unpack the parallels between flying and living, including:

    The power of preparation
    Why proficiency matters
    How staying calm in an emergency isn’t a personality trait… it’s a practiced skill

    Adam also drops a great reminder using the windshield vs. rearview mirror analogy—encouraging listeners to stop living in the past and start focusing on what’s ahead.

    Because the windshield is bigger for a reason.

    Key Areas

    • The behind-the-scenes world of modern publishing
    • What separates a dreamer from a finisher
    • Why aviation teaches focus, clarity, and emotional control
    • How to keep your cool when life gets turbulent
    • Why forward motion matters more than perfect conditions

    If you’re into books, aviation, and business growth—these are the life lessons that hit different because they’re real.

    Thinking of publishing your life story, big idea, or message? Consider Forbes Books—a leader in authority branding and bringing powerful concepts to life.

    E246 Scream At The Top of Your Lungs...Silently

    In this wildly eye-opening conversation, Dr. Michaela and vocal alchemist Maryn Azoff dive into the magical, slightly rebellious world of vocal transformation. Think: trauma healing meets rock-star energy (without actually blowing your vocal cords).

    They unpack the secret history of the human voice, the science of why sound can crack open emotions you didn’t even know you were storing, and how your breath is basically your built-in healing superpower. From silent screams to primal expression, they explore how using—or reclaiming—your voice can shake loose stuck emotions, unclench old trauma, and connect you to a more powerful, embodied version of yourself.

    You’ll walk away with practical tools, aha moments, and permission to make noise… even if it’s the kind only you can hear.

    E245 The Hidden Key to Energy, Longevity, and Healing

    Introducing Dr. Nathan S. Bryan, a pioneer in the field of nitric oxide biology. He holds a PhD in molecular/cellular physiology, has spent over 25 years researching nitric oxide (NO) and its role in human health, and is the founder of technologies and therapies centered on NO.

    Today we dive deep into what nitric oxide is, why it matters for cardiovascular, brain, immune and metabolic health, how it declines with age or lifestyle, and actionable steps to restore or optimize it.


    What you’ll learn

    What exactly nitric oxide is and why some call it “the miracle molecule.”

    The two main pathways by which our bodies produce nitric oxide — the enzyme (NOS) pathway and the dietary nitrate→nitrite pathway — and what disrupts them.

    Why nitric oxide production declines (age, oxidative stress, lifestyle, oral microbiome, stomach acid, etc.) and what that means for disease risk.

    How nitric oxide influences key health systems: blood flow and vascular health, brain/cognitive function, immune defense, mitochondrial health, stem-cell mobilization and more.

    Practical strategies: diet, lifestyle, caution with things that disrupt NO (mouthwash, antacids, etc.), and supplementation/technologies that can support it.

    Cutting-edge and future directions: regenerative medicine, wound healing, topical NO, etc.
