  • Lindsay Schiess: The Courage to Connect and Become More

    What if one of life's greatest classrooms isn't found in a university, a book, or a therapist's office, but right inside our own homes?

     

    This week on the Beliefcast, I'm sitting down with Lindsay Schiess, and what a beautiful reminder she is of the power of being human.

     

    Lindsay is a speaker, therapist, professor at the University of Utah, and podcast host who has dedicated her life to understanding people, relationships, and what helps us grow.

     

    We talk about family, resilience, vulnerability, mental health, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.

     

    Because sometimes the greatest lessons come from getting it wrong, saying we're sorry, choosing to love again, and having the courage to keep showing up.

     

    One thing I love about Lindsay is her belief in the goodness of people and our remarkable capacity to heal, grow, and connect.

     

    We're all a work in progress. We're all learning. And we're all capable of becoming something more.

     

    You are going to love her!  This is a conversation that will remind you just how much we need each other.

     

    🎙️ Listen to her inspiring story on the Beliefcast, Apple Podcasts, and all streaming platforms.

  • Steven Meyers & Shawn Johnson: One Committed the Crimes. One Pursued Justice. Both Reveal the Power of Belief

    ONE WAS BREAKING THE LAW. THE OTHER WAS TRYING TO CATCH HIM. NOW THEY'RE TELLING THEIR STORY TOGETHER.  As seen on Netflix!

     

    19 bank robberies. Over $2.3 million stolen. Years of deception. And one extraordinary story of human psychology.

     

    This week's Beliefcast is unlike any I've ever recorded!

     

    I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with Steven Meyers, an accomplice in Seattle's infamous "Hollywood" bank robberies, and Shawn Johnson, the FBI agent who helped bring the case to an end.

     

    Two men. Two completely different sides of the same story.

     

    But what fascinated me most wasn't the robberies. It was the power of the human mind, the stories we tell ourselves, and how our beliefs can justify our choices, shape our behavior, and ultimately change the direction of our lives.

     

    Belief dictates behavior. And this story is a powerful example of that truth.

     

    You may come for the unbelievable true crime story, but you'll leave thinking about the power of your own beliefs.

     

    🔥 NOW LIVE ON THE BELIEFCAST!

     

    🎙️ Listen to Steven Meyers and Shawn Johnson on the Beliefcast, Apple Podcasts, and all streaming platforms.

  • Drew Tovey: The Power of Brotherhood

    Some people come into your life and make it better simply by being in it. ❤️

     

    Drew Tovey is one of those people for me.

     

    I had the incredible blessing of sitting down with one of my lifelong friends, a fellow Brighton Bengal, and a man I deeply admire on this week's Beliefcast.

     

    Drew is one of my Band of Brothers, and I am beyond grateful to call him my friend.

     

    There's something powerful about friendships that stand the test of time. Through the laughter, the tears, the struggles, and the triumphs, you learn what really matters.

     

    Life is about connection. It's about love. It's about showing up for each other.

     

    I believe we're never more fully alive than when we're connected.

     

    My hope is that this conversation reminds you to appreciate the people in your life, reach out to someone you love, and never underestimate the power of friendship.

     

    People are astonishing. And Drew is one of those people!

     

    🎙️ Listen to his inspiring story on the Beliefcast, Apple Podcasts, and all streaming platforms.

  • Olivia Burnett: Astonishing Just as You Are

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT. YOU JUST HAVE TO REALIZE HOW ASTONISHING YOU ALREADY ARE. ❤️

     

    Olivia is a speaker and host of the Twenty Something podcast, but what impressed me most wasn't what she does. It was who she is.

     

    Olivia is one of those rare people who makes everyone around her better simply by being herself. Her authenticity, kindness, and genuine love for people are contagious. Her light is exactly what this world needs more of!

     

    We had a powerful conversation about something we all wrestle with, regardless of age:

     

    Who are you, and who are you becoming?

    We explored the pressure to have life figured out, the expectations we place on ourselves, finding purpose in uncertainty, and learning to trust the journey when life doesn't go as planned.

     

    Too often, we measure our worth by what we've accomplished, where we think we should be, or how our lives compare to others.  But your worth was never something you had to earn.

     

    Olivia reminds us that we can embrace the unknown, live with intention, and trust that our story is still unfolding.

     

    Thank you, Olivia, for your beautiful heart, your wisdom, and the difference you're making in this world. Keep shining! ❤️

     

    🎙️ Olivia's Beliefcast episode is NOW LIVE!  Listen to her inspiring story on the Beliefcast, Apple Podcasts, and all streaming platforms.

  • Annika Orozco: You Are Worth the Investment

    SHE LOST 70 POUNDS… BUT THE GREATEST WEIGHT SHE LOST WAS THE BELIEF THAT SHE WASN'T WORTH INVESTING IN.

     

    Meet Annika Orozco, founder of ANNIKA, Pilates instructor, entrepreneur, and a powerful example of what happens when you decide to change your life from the inside out.

     

    Annika didn't just transform her body. She transformed her mindset, her habits, her confidence, and ultimately, her future.

     

    Today, she's turned that transformation into a mission to help others discover their own strength through fitness, wellness, and self-care.

     

    Her message is POWERFUL:

    • Health is wealth.
    • Protect your mental health.
    • Work hard, but don't burn out.
    • Forgive yourself quickly.
    • Invest in yourself. YOU ARE WORTH IT!
    •  

      Here's what I love about Annika's story: The most important transformation isn't what you see in the mirror. It's what you BELIEVE about the person looking back at you.

       

      You are astonishing. You are capable of more than you know. And you are worth the effort it takes to become the healthiest, strongest version of yourself.  ❤️ Share this with someone who needs to be reminded that THEY ARE WORTH IT!

       

      🎙️ Listen to her inspiring story on the Beliefcast, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all streaming platforms.

    • Dan Clark: The Art of Significance

      🔥 NEW BELIEFCAST — DAN CLARK! 🔥

       

      What if the goal of life isn’t success?  What if it’s SIGNIFICANCE?

       

      My guest today, Dan Clark, has spent a lifetime studying that question.

       

      Dan is a Hall of Fame speaker, bestselling author, master storyteller, and legendary voice in personal development. But behind all those accomplishments is a man whose life was completely redirected after a devastating injury changed everything.

       

      And that’s where his real story begins.

       

      We talk about identity, adversity, belief systems, his 25-year mentorship with Zig Ziglar, what truly matters in life, and why

       

      Dan believes:

       

      “Self is not discovered. Self is created.”

       

      That idea hit me HARD.

       

      Because the story you tell yourself about yourself matters.  You are not simply discovering who you are. You are creating who you become.

       

      This conversation is powerful. Dan is powerful. And I cannot wait for you to hear it.

       

      🎙️ Listen to Dan’s inspiring story on the Beliefcast, Apple Podcasts, and all streaming platforms.

    • Liz Hartke: Turning Tragedy Into Purpose

      Success isn't about doing more, It's about becoming more.

       

      This week on Beliefcast, I sat down with leadership advisor Liz Hartke to discuss visionary leadership, navigating unimaginable grief, leading with intention, building meaningful businesses, and creating a life rooted in purpose instead of constant hustle.

      If you're building a business, leading a team, raising a family, or simply trying to live with greater intention, you'll find tremendous value in this conversation.

       

      This conversation will challenge the way you think about achievement, leadership, and what truly matters.
