In his teens, Ege was 60 pounds overweight and couldn't stop playing video games.

Shy about speaking to girls or having a social life, Ege would spend his afternoons with a plate of cookies and League of Legends.

Not realizing at the time that he was miserable, Ege would soon face reality when after a summer vacation and right before his senior year of high school, he stepped on the scale and discovered that he was masking his unhappiness with food and video games.

Ege knew it was time to make a change.

Setting out on a personal development journey, Ege spent the next few months replacing his plate of cookies with workouts and his video games with every self-development book he could find.

He shed 60 pounds and went on to be mentored by some of the top social skills, spirituality, and confidence experts worldwide.

Tired of being "friend-zoned," Ege faced his fears head-on and built up the healthy confidence he needed to talk to attractive women in any situation.

Now, the founder and CEO of The Charming Man is coaching men from tech companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, and more to step into their higher selves and become more attractive to women by focusing on becoming more authentic and learning the four principles outlined in this REEL Attraction System.

Listen in as Ege and I discuss how a shy and depressed teenager shed his insecurities and limited mindset to find joy, love, and self-confidence. His passion for helping other men do the same has led him to live a life of FEARLESS HAPPYNES!!

Fourteen years ago, Chuck's life was a different story.

Along his journey, Chuck also discovered that he was not alone. Just like him, millions of men were struggling with the same issues.

As he recovered and started living a life of integrity and operating in the world with joy and fulfillment, Chuck knew his mission in life was … to help other men do the same.

He would spend the next few years studying and training to become a recovery and relationship coach and even became a personal assistant to his mentor, who not only helped with Chuck's recovery but also coached him.

Now sober for 14 years and thriving in all areas of his life, Chuck is on a mission to help other men overcome the Nice Guy Syndrome by living a life of honesty and integrity.

The Power of Gratitude with Sohale Sizar

A serial entrepreneur since the age of 9, Sohale Sizar has impacted the lives of millions of individuals, spanning non-profit charities, education, and consumer technology to helping Fortune 500 companies innovate digital products that imbue emotion.

Born and raised outside of Philly, Sohale has always wanted to implement light and the colors of goodness in different ways, from an idea at nine years old to cure AIDS to a prayer app to building and creating an app of Gratitude.

Growing up, Sohale wasn't a fan of school.  Struggling with a poor GPA and consistently being called into the school office, Sohale was focused on everything but the curriculum being taught.

One night, he dreamed that God set up a meeting between him and Baraka Obama, who was running for the presidency then.

Always a fan of the former president, Sohale took the conversation in the dream to heart.

Waking up from the dream, Sohale found himself with a new mindset and the determination to really start applying himself.

Double down, he went on to Georgetown, Stanford, Cambridge, and Princeton, earning degrees and high honors from each school.

Now, the founder of Sole is on a lifelong mission to facilitate access to one's inner light through his teachings of Gratitude.

"The beliefs we hold can really define us, and we have to question those beliefs," says Sohale.

Listen in as Sohale, and I sit down to discuss how an idea at nine years old led him on a lifelong journey of empowering individuals to grow and feel loved and how his focus on human flourishing and technology has led him to find his path to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!

Creating a Perfect Day with Jesse Reing

Jesse Reing, an extraordinaire event planner, has always felt that her professional purpose was to help people realize their vision for their most important occasions.

Born and raised In New York, Jesse never set out to become an event coordinator.  A prominent theatre kid, Jesse always thought she would end up under the big lights of Broadway.

However, after a family vacation to Las Vegas in 8th grade, Jesse found herself more passionate about hospitality than theatre. 

Shocked and enamored by all the fanciness that the hotels of Vegas had to offer and all the experimental things they had to encompass, Jesse found herself with a new passion in life.

Still a theatre kid but not really into theatre anymore, Jesse would go to college, majoring in many theatre courses.  Quickly realizing she hated acting, she also found herself stuck with the major.

Making the best of the situation, she started planning cast parties for all the theatre groups, formals, and other events around campus.

Then, in graduate school, Jesse pursued a degree in hotel management and moved to London and Switzerland to pursue her higher education degrees before moving back home and pursuing a career in the luxury hospitality industry.

Then, after nearly nine years working for others, Jesse left her full-time job and took a leap of faith in herself to create Events by Jesse – a premier event planning firm specializing in creating bespoke experiences that exceed expectations.

Now, 15 years later, Jesse is having the time of her life by encouraging clients to make their own rules, take risks, be bold, and help them create their perfect day!

Listen in as Jesse and I sit down to discuss the moment she found her true purpose in life, how she developed a business that she is proud of and is breaking the mold doing it, and how she designed her path to FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!
