July 19, 2022EP.12.ALEX.HOOPER GET ADDICTED TO PROGRESS
What do hugs, drugs and pugs have in common? They all have special place in the heart of this weeks guest, Alex Hooper!
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Alex to talk about life and comedy and living life comically. Alex Hooper is a stand-up comedian, actor and professional roaster who delights crowds by blending dark humor with silly positivity. He is best known for his appearances on America’s Got Talent, being one of a select few contestants to have been asked to return after being eliminated. His comeback on season 15 is one of the greatest moments in televised comedy I've ever seen!
In 2018 Alex released his debut comedy album Hugs. Drugs. Pugs. It hit #1 on Amazon and #3 on iTunes Best Selling Comedy Records. And in 2022 he released is sophomore comedy album Calm Down Peasants on A Special Thing Records
To say Alex is a serious pug lover is an understatement. For 2018 he created The Pug Yoga Calendar to raise funds for pug rescue: Pug Nation of LA. Ellen Degeneres spotlighted the sold-out 2018 Pug Yoga Calendar on The Ellen Show.
Alex has been named by Funny Or Die as one of the 15 Funniest Comics to Follow.
His TV credits include:
America’s Got Talent - Seasons 13 & 15

Comedy Central’s Roast Battle

Comedy Central’s Corporate

Fox’s New Girl

TVLand

Nickelodeon

and the truly prodigious, Bad Girls Club.
We cover a lot of terrain in this conversation. My only regret is not getting it out sooner but, it's here now and sometimes done is better than perfect! I'm on a new mission and playing catch up while moving forward. I hope you enjoy this part of the journey. Thanks for rocking with me.

March 08, 2022 EP.11.J.MICHAEL.TRAUTMANN THE GIFT OF GIVNG CONFIDENCE TO YOURSELF
J. Michael Trautmann is an actor, mathematician, gambler and an old college pal from the Old Pueblo. Since graduating from the UofA with his BFA degree in acting and directing J Michael aka J Mac took to the mean streets of HollyWOO. You can see him as Iggy Milkovich in the Showtime series Shameless and a bunch of other sh*t but that''s not what we talk about. This conversation explores what it takes to overcome the limitations in our set of given circumstances, as artists and as people in general. We work to strip down the facade and look into what drives our choices. We talk about confidence and self sabotage and how to stay true to yourself in a place where the pressure is on to be somebody else. I hope you enjoy this episode with J Micheal Trautmann!

September 02, 2021 EP.10.KATERINA.BARATTA IT'S NOT YOU...IT'S THE PERSON YOU THINK YOURSELF TO BE
EPISODE 10
It's a milestone y'all!
Ten episodes seems small but feels huge for me! This weeks show dives deep into "meta" territory with Katerina Baratta, LAc, MSOM. We talk about mindfulness and a variety of its applications to everyday life.
Did you know, doing the dishes can be an act of mindfulness?
Katerina is a mind-body-spirit health practitioner, licensed acupuncturist, writer, and teacher. She specializes in helping women heal their relationship with food and build confidence by learning to nourish all aspects of themselves.
Having completed a B.A. from the University of Vermont in Psychology, yoga teacher training, numerous medicinal herb courses, and a 5-year master’s program in Chinese medicine at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), Katerina works from the premise that mental health is rooted in the body, and physical health is shaped by the mind.
Through a unique combination of holistic nutrition, positive psychology and wellness coaching —as well as transformative bodywork, acupuncture, medicinal herbs, yoga, and qigong— Katerina helps women adopt a nourishment mindset so they can stop the diet-binge cycle and self-sabotage, and transform more than just their body.
She also teaches a course at NUNM on personalized and seasonal health and wellness, and leads workshops around the globe.
Aside from MindBodyGreen, Katerina’s work has been featured in The Huffington post, Yoganonymous, WuHaus, BIWA, and her website has been recognized as a top natural health website by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.
You can connect with Katerina on her website, KaterinaBaratta.com and on Instagram, @KaterinaBaratta, where she posts about nourishment, stress management, and personal transformation.

August 16, 2021 EP.9.JULES.&.RUDI.KENNARD INNATE WHOLALITY
EPISODE 9
Rudi and Jules Kennard are authors, Co-Founders of Innate Evolution, international speakers, parents and a married couple! Between them they have experienced the death of a partner and teenage daughter, homelessness, domestic violence, and crippling burnout and bankruptcy. As a creation of these direct life experiences, they now share a missing link to resilience and a deeper silence behind the non-dual-aliveness and creative nature of life. They are the originators and authors of the book 'Wholality: The missing link to love’ and their courses and resources have now reached over a million people.

Their main message is helping others uncover a ‘Wholeness’ within that can carry them through any life circumstance. That we are creator beings and have innate energetic gifts to profoundly expand and re-create our lives. Their message is not about transcending our human experience but fully embracing our Whole human experience. Freedom is not in a particular state of mind but in experience.
