Elevation Nation

Elevator 230: Scott Hickle is the co-founder and CEO of Throne, the innovative "wearable for your toilet" that uses AI to turn poop into critical health insights. A serial entrepreneur and mechanical engineer based in Austin, he is on a mission to save one million lives from colorectal cancer through early detection and gut health monitoring.

In this podcast: Scott breaks down why the most vital health data is the kind we usually flush away and the "unsexy" challenges of building a hardware startup in a taboo space. We talk about the mindset needed to pioneer a new category, the future of waste-based tracking, and how taking ownership of your health data can literally save your life.

Parker and Sam celebrate having Elevation Nation in seven different years while reflecting on their personal growth and goals for 2026. The conversation emphasizes the value of introspection, goal setting, and the creative process as they look forward to a year of growth and connection.

Elevator 229: Ashleigh Di Lello is a Brain Coach, keynote speaker, and the creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a revolutionary process based in neuroscience. After overcoming a life-threatening illness and years of chronic pain starting at age thirteen, she transformed her trauma into a career as an elite athlete, Broadway star, and expert in brain-body freedom.

In this podcast: Ashleigh breaks down how our nervous system shapes our identity and why your brain is an "evidence-seeking machine" that reinforces your current beliefs. We dive into the science of emotional resilience, how to view failure as a verb rather than an identity, and the micro-actions you can take today to harness your brain's power and become the person you want to be.

What a year of elevating it has been. In the last episode of Elevation Nation, we recap some of our highs from the year. See you in 2026, Elevation Nation!

Elevator 228: Louisa Li is the Founder of Shanti House, a conscious-living and wellness community in NYC for innovators, and Urban Iron, a hybrid running and functional fitness race. She spent a decade as a management consultant for Fortune 500 companies before leaving corporate life to consult in wellness tech and focus on mission-driven ventures.

In this podcast, Louisa discusses the surprising lack of mindfulness at founder events and why traditional networking often fuels burnout, not mental health. She shares why creating spaces that prioritize wellness, like Shanti House, is essential for founders to manage stress, calm their nervous systems, and gain the clarity needed to build resilient businesses.

This week, we pull back the curtain on the evolution of Elevation Nation, teasing a new concept on human connection. We share our vision for new authentic experiences and events designed to empower you outside the digital noise.

Elevator no. 227: Uri Pearl is the founder and president of Nealon Holdings Inc., a holding company that owns and operates a growing home-services business, Nealon Insulation. As a former special forces soldier, Uri brings a disciplined, long-term mindset to both his entrepreneurial ventures and his value investing philosophy.

In this podcast: We break down the three M's of "Authentic Intelligence" (AI): Mindset, Messages, and Moments. Uri shares how a strong, fortified mindset, developed in the military and applied in business, is critical for growth, how you communicate effectively, and where to inject your authentic self into your daily life to truly create value.

This week, we're talking about the best investment you can make: you. Parker and Sam dive into the shifts they’ve made this year, from optimizing sleep and starting new solo adventures to embracing new hobbies like basketball and holistic healing.

Elevator 226: Alex Servetnick is the Head of Commercial Strategy at Stakt, the female-founded wellness brand creating innovative fitness equipment that inspires movement. After nearly a decade in Corporate America across UBS and Anheuser-Busch, he left his senior role to join his wife, Taylor, and her co-founder, Millie, helping scale Stakt toward ten million dollars in revenue in under two years.

In this podcast: Alex opens up about the mindset shift required to walk away from corporate stability, what it’s really like building a company with your spouse and best friend, and how communication keeps both the relationship and the business moving forward. We talk about brand building, managing stress in a fast-growing startup, and the mental motto that keeps him grounded.

Parker and Sam are thankful for many things as Thanksgiving approaches.
