On today's episode I have the privilege speaking with EC Synkowski on her simple and very effective approach to nutrition that can be used by anyone at any level on their journey to better health and performance.

EC takes us through how she would approach coaching people in 3 different circumstances:

2) Active People with specific performance and/or aesthetics goals.

3) Professional Athletes or Models We then touch on questions from the audience that include the keto diet, intermittent fasting, bread/pasta, alcohol, hard gainers, and much more. Enjoy!

44 Million Americans are a combined $1.5 Trillion in school loans and a reported 78% live paycheck to paycheck...this episode is needed.

Today's guest, Jack Morrissey, takes us through his and his wife's journey of paying off $200k in student loans in just 6 years, and continuing on their journey to financial freedom.

Luckily for our audience Jack kept a "money journal" throughout the years, which helped guide us through this discussion.

Jack tells us which tools and strategies he implemented; what led to those decisions, and if he would do anything different with hindsight being 20/20.

We hope you enjoy and that the information helps you in your own journey!

Many people believe that you have to have a lot of experience, money, and tolerance for risk to get into real estate. Our guest, Matt Justice proved that misconception wrong when he bought 5 properties in his first 5 years out of college while balancing a full time career.

He takes us through his thought process during those first few deals and how his approach to investing, wealth, and balance has changed with time. Matt also expresses the power of a great team and how creativity can help you get over obstacles to your goals.

From High School and College Students to Military Officers and Everyone In-Between!

Your resume is what you can use bridge the gap between what you currently do and what you want to do. With sky high pricing and significant time commitments for higher education, I bring my good friend and fellow Veteran, Evan Greco, on the show to discuss how you can get paid to build your resume and open up additional career opportunities!

We start with how we both kick-started our resumes through our time as Military Officers; why corporate America as a whole values those skills; and how Evan outsourced his search for his first role in business. 

Then we get into how ANYONE with a job can continue to build his or her resume without going back to college or paying for additional certifications. This applies to High School Students through established professionals.

We hope you enjoy!
