In this powerful episode, Haro Setian shares the hard truth behind his entrepreneurial success. After years of pushing himself beyond his limits, Haro suffered a stroke that forced him to step away from everything—work, leadership, and the relentless pace of business. He took a full year off, and in that space, he found clarity, healing, and a renewed perspective on what truly matters.

Calling all Creative entrepreneurs and nature lovers.

In episode 9 of the Chase the Peace podcast, Andy Mann shares his career journey and personal stories of how nature has served as a source of healing and renewal.  

Take some time to listen and explore the work he and his colleagues are doing at sealegacy.org.

In episode 6, Sarah Anderson, author of "The Space Between Us," helps us with the critical intersection of politics, religion, and mental health. Sarah's phenomenal book offers practical strategies for navigating the challenging conversations surrounding these divisive topics. 

Discord in politics and religion has a direct impact on or mental well-being, and we aim to shed some light on that connection and discover ways to foster connection, kindness, unity, understanding AND resilience in the face of polarization.

Only Love and Understanding Can Conquer this Disease

*Trigger warning - this episode speaks at length about my guest losing family members to suicide.  

It was such an honor to host @megkissinger, author of the new book entitled, “While You Were Out”.

Among other things, in our chat we discuss:

• What led her to write the book and share such an intimate account of her family’s story as it relates to mental illness
• Her sister Nancy and her brother Danny, whose lives were cut short
• How to talk to about suicide without normalizing it or vilifying it

“While You Were Out” can be found here:
