Best-selling author and behavior change expert Karen Salmansohn shares how mortality awareness can be one of the most powerful motivators for living with purpose. She explains her concept of a “near-life experience,” when people go through the motions instead of fully engaging in their lives, and how to break free from it. Karen offers practical tools—like writing your aspirational eulogy and linking core values to habits—that help listeners live with urgency and authenticity. Her upcoming book, Your To-Die-For Life, blends humor, science, and philosophy to guide readers toward more meaningful, regret-free living.

At Maui Nui, Jake Muise isn’t just producing venison–he’s redefining what sustainable, nutrient-dense food looks like. In this episode, Jake unpacks the ecological damage caused by invasive axis deer in Hawaii and how his company uses USDA-certified night harvesting to turn a problem into a protein solution. He explains the connection between deer diet, volcanic soil, and unmatched nutrient density, and how this wild-harvested meat supports both local communities and long-term environmental health. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of what “real” protein means–and why it could add a decade of quality movement to your life.
