New perspectives and purpose through the understanding and questioning of societal programming and conditioning.
Michael Chernow is a father, husband, serial entrepreneur, podcast host, coach and athlete. He’s spent the last two decades devoted to recovery from an addiction that had nearly taken his life. His story of making the shift to a sober life is one of miracles, as I imagine is the case for many who walk this path. His sense of fulfillment has been built on life-enhancing habits he's maintained since deciding to live substance-free. He is the creator of Kreatures of Habit, an overnight oatmeal with vegan protein—a habit-stacking staple for me.
Michael shares his return back to himself and how he continues to cultivate a life of deeper meaning.
Michael and I dive into…
➝ How simple, healthful habits saved his life
➝ How he learned to move from his head to his heart
➝ The changes that occurred when embracing love and acceptance into his life
➝ The surprising key to making life-long changes
➝ The priority of YOU
➝ An intimate view into his experiences with childhood abuse

Boyd Varty — Lion Tracker, Storyteller, and Life Guide — shares his wisdom on embracing our wild selves. We recently celebrated his 40th birthday on the South African coastline — hiking across the landscape, leaping from cliffs, and engaging in meaningful and revealing fireside conversations. Along this journey there was one primary aspect that we all felt truly touched by: the awakening of our unique wild self.
Boyd and I dive into…
➝ The ceremony of entering a new decade
➝ The journey to the wild self
➝ Becoming someone who cultivates and fosters life
➝ The intelligence of moving grief
➝ Uprooting what numbs us – identities, roles, unfelt emotions, stimulants
➝ And more!

Danny Miranda brings the raw truth in this conversation. But what exactly is truth? It's a subjective concept, unique to each individual. Truth empowers us to express ourselves genuinely, act with integrity, and foster genuine connections with both ourselves and others.
Danny shares how he connected with his truth and how his experience with self-doubt was something to learn from rather than be ashamed of.
Danny and I dive into…
➝ Understanding someone based on their energetic resonance
➝ Breaking free from perpetually feeling inadequate
➝ Embracing authenticity in modern society
➝ Transforming your life with 90 days of brief meditation sessions
➝ A method for aligning with your truth
➝ And more!

In my first ever interview-style solocast, my dear brother Ty Ward architects the flow beautifully to pull through the threads of my last 3 years in “the tunnel”. During this period of time, I was trudging through my dark night of the soul. Our family unit was working through challenges, finances were feeling rockier than I’m comfortable with, and my resistance to being with stillness and uncertainty became so loud, yet I powered through — at the expense of my health and relationships — like I have been “comfortably” doing for most of my life.
Now, on the other side of my tunnel phase, I felt the call to share my experience from this season and what it felt like within my relationship to self and those closest to me, the ways I tried so hard to escape it all, and what ultimately allowed for me to sink into the messages that I was meant to tune into.
In this solocast, I share...
➝ My addiction to being busy, escaping stillness.
➝ Family and financial challenges / reorientation.
➝ What helped to create awareness around my avoidant patterns.
➝ The tools and habits that moved me through my tunnel period.
➝ Unblocking a new level of intimacy within my marriage.

Dan Martell is a serial entrepreneur, author of “Buy Back Your Time”, and coach to founders who are ready to scale their business by reclaiming their freedom. A big part of my journey has centered around the myth that my financial success brings life success — and in my body, this didn’t feel like the case once I reached that level in my career or outside of it. Dan’s approach to creating a fulfilling, liberating life honors the ultimate insights — we are each here to walk our own unique path, receive guidance from those who have done (in some essence) what we are doing and lead from our deep-rooted “why”.
Dan and I dive into...
➝ Cleaning up your "why" for building wealth.
➝ Sustainable creativity is from a soulful place, rather than competitive.
➝ Dan's childhood journey through drugs, prison, solitary confinement.
➝ How can we leverage our "failures"?
➝ Buying back your time and building a life that is in true alignment with your soul's mission.
➝ And more!

Republishing this conversation with my soul brother and fan favorite, Boyd Varty. If you aren't familiar yet, Boyd is co-owner of Londolozi Game Reserve where he grew up amongst the wilderness and leads a life that implements and demonstrates the wisdom of the natural world.
In this episode we talk Story—how they either create ease or constriction, how to witness ourself in one, and how to alchemize thoughts, patterns and behaviors based on being witness to our own energetics. Boyd leads us through an intimate experience of him sitting with his egoic mind, allowing as many unfiltered thoughts to rise to the surface, what they feel like and eventually re-patterning and re-enforcing a more supportive and loving way of being.
Boyd and I dive into...
⟶ Befriending and witnessing the egoic mind
⟶ Mapping out the journey of a transformational process
⟶ The art of spiraling and melting down to allow for a new way of being to come through
⟶ Cultivating the father archetypal energy at its best
⟶ Tracking the ways that we upper limit ourself
⟶ And more!
