Scott O’neill spent eight years as the CEO of the Philadelphia 76’ers and the New Jersey Devils through his role as the CEO of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. This alone is incredible, the 76’ers and the Devils were only one of the many organizations Scott directed as the CEO over those eight years. Being the CEO of an organization as established as the 76’ers is a massive achievement in and of itself. Managing multiple teams at that caliber at the same time is truly another level. Scott has moved on from that chapter of his life, becoming an author of the incredible book “Be Where Your Feet Are: Seven Principles to Keep You Present, Grounded, and Thriving.” This amazing book dives into the vulnerable methods Scott has used to find balance being the CEO of the 76’ers and the Devils, a husband, a father, mentor, coach, and leader to thrive in his life. In this episode, we specifically dive into:

Legends, have you ever felt that you don’t belong in a space, don’t love yourself enough, or need to accept yourself more? If so, then this is definitely the right podcast for you! I had the pleasure of interviewing the epic Jessamyn Stanley, an incredible yoga teacher, author, entrepreneur, and advocate.

Team, I am stoked to bring you today’s episode with the incredibly smart Jacob Pechenik. This absolute legend is the founder of Lettuce Grow, a company creating “Farm Stands” which are small hydroponic micro-farms that allow you to grow your own pre-sprouted plants that are ready to harvest, fresh, within three weeks. This company is truly amazing. Not only are they giving their consumers the power to produce at least 20% of their own food while using 95% less water. They are pesticide-free, non-GMO, use recyclable eco-conscious packaging, and do a host of other amazing things. If you are interested in entrepreneurship, sustainability, and or the agricultural industry, this is definitely the episode for you.
Funny enough, too many it may seem like Jacob started Lettuce Grow out of nowhere. His story is actually quite incredible. Jacob attended MIT with no idea what he wanted to study. As he was undecided on his career trajectory, he chose the hardest major at the school, chemical engineering, and did it, graduating with a perfect GPA. I don’t know about you legends but to me, that’s pretty impressive. After graduating, he started a couple of companies in the finance and tech space, ended up becoming a film producer having helped produce over 30 films in his career, and then decided to drop all of that and get into the agricultural space in a unique way.
After leaving the film industry, Jacob co-created the Farm Project and eventually built Lettuce Grow to help consumers develop a new food system. At this point, Lettuce Grow has over 1.6 million square feet of farmland across all of their individual consumer farm stands, which are truly improving the health of people and the planet.

Jordan Syatt shares this piece of gold in today’s episode from working with Gary Vee: “Someone else's B is better than your F”
Team! Today’s episode is epic. I had the pleasure of having Jordan Syatt on the show who is a strength and nutrition coach, training people like Gary Vee and an amazing entrepreneur being the owner of his own brand Syatt Fitness. Jordan launched his website, in 2011 while in college and provided value free of charge for two years through weekly articles as he strictly wanted to help legends improve their lives. Naturally, he began building an audience and acquired a couple of epic clients. Through his passion for helping people improve their lives and his determination to make daily content without seeing a profit, he built a business. A huge topic we discuss today is how to build a business through consistency, adding value, and authenticity, and how to do it by using social media. A primary point of discussion today is how important it is to higher people to help you grow your brand and how to choose the right person to hire. We also discuss if affiliate marketing is a good route to take to grow your business and how to use email marketing and social media to maximize growth and sales. Jordan is an expert at SEO marketing for websites and YouTube and has loads of essential takeaways to provide.
In today’s episode we specifically discuss:
These questions are answered by Jordan who has been working with Gary Vee for years and who has built his own social following to well over 1 Million across his platforms. I learned so much in today’s episode and hope you all can walk away from it with a greater breadth of knowledge and practical understanding.

Legends! Today’s episode is particularly interesting and relevant. I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Doni Wilson who is a naturopathic doctor, a clinical nutritionist, a best-selling author of The Stress Remedy, and now she is the author of her new book Master Your Stress Reset Your Health. Dr. Doni specializes in the field of stress and building our bodies to properly manage and optimize stress levels. From observing women in labor and giving birth, she realized that a certain amount of cortisol and adrenaline (stress) is needed to successfully give birth. This caused Dr. Doni to understand that all stress isn’t bad, and what we need to do is learn how to give the necessary support to individuals in high-stress situations to achieve the optimum cortisol and adrenaline levels. An amazing thing we talk about is how our bio-individuality and unique stressors change the way we can manage stress and become resilient to it. In today’s episode we specifically discuss:
We discuss cortisol, what it does, and healthy levels
We also discuss adrenaline, its impact, and healthy levels
We discuss the relationship between exercise and stress
I find this topic of stress management so interesting as it relates to essentially every aspect of our lives. Whether it’s work, relationships, or reflecting upon yourself, stress is a present and necessary feeling. The problem arises when we don’t know how to properly manage stress. If you want to learn more about how to manage stress and improve your life, connect with Dr. Doni at the following links:
