  • 39 - Oleg Lougheed

    Oleg Lougheed’s story will inspire you to overcome the odds because of the incredible way he has in his own life. I am so grateful he shared his story with me and that I get to share it with you now. Growing up in a Russian orphanage, Oleg was mistreated, neglected, and abused. After adoption to the US at age twelve, he has risen up to start the nonprofit Overcoming Odds that focuses on helping children and families bridge the gap and gain insight, education, and resources for successful international adoptions. It’s much more than that, though; he has created a forum for transformational conversations that allow people to be seen, be heard, and to dive down deep into the issues of problems so that solutions can be discovered and implemented. Oleg’s story is jaw dropping, heart breaking, gut wrenching, but at the same time heart warming, perspective shifting, and mind expanding. You will be deeply impacted by this podcast, and that’s why I’m excited to bring it to you.

Today we also learn not only about AJ’s business journey and groundbeaking ideas (check out Coop.farm), but also about his inspiring work in Ukraine. His small group has raised nearly $800K for those in need in Ukraine.

  • 36 - Align Podcast with Justin
    This week! A special episode of Justin on Aaron Alexander's Align Podcast for Overcome with Justin Wren.
    Our old podcast network abruptly closed down. We are working on getting Amy’s studio at our house set up while I’m getting in the groove at a great studio in Austin. This will be the best thing for the podcast as we are now entirely independent which is what we were being led towards! It’s an exciting time! 
    Over the next few weeks I will be lining out some great new guests with powerful and profound stories to stay tuned for. This week we are airing an episode I did as a guest on my good friend Aaron Alexander’s Align Podcast, when we both first came to Austin. 
    This is my story, and, I’m really excited to share it with you from the perspective and deep questions Aaron came up to ask me right on the spot. I had a realization during this talk that I’ve never had asked in 100+ therapy sessions from 3-4 incredible counselors, therapists, and psychiatrists. It has to do with sticky hands, but I'll let you listen to find out why that matters. 
    Aaron is a dear friend of mine and has 16 years of experience as a movement coach and has clients ranging from A-list celebrities, pro athletes, and everyone in between. We workout together, hike, paddle board, box, do Jiujitsu, and bike around Austin often. He has a new book out: The Align Method: A Modern Movement Guide for a Stronger Body, Sharper Mind, and Stress-Proof Life. Endorsements on the book are from Laird Hamilton, Gabby Reece, Aubrey Marcus, and more.

  • 35 - Nick Santonastasso
    “The biggest disability is a bad mindset.” 
    My good friend Nick Santonastasso is a POWERHOUSE of a human, and to me, the definition of an Overcomer. That’s why I felt this episode is so important that we are airing it twice. This was my first episode of this podcast, and Nick was the perfect first guest to set the tone of what I want this show to be. Some of you might have heard it if you’ve followed since the first episode, but I hope you’ll listen to it again, it’s that good. If you haven’t heard it, please give yourself this gift of hearing Nick’s story and receiving his message. 
    Nick has had to rise up and OVERCOME more than most ever will since his very first breath… and more than most could ever imagine. He’s lived more life in his 26 years young than most ever will. He’s an inspiration to men I admire like The Rock, Ed Mylett, Tony Robbins, and many pro-athletes, musicians, and the list goes on and on. 
    Please follow Nick at @NickSantonastasso and be inspired. 
    Make sure to follow me on Instagram at @TheBigPygmy and my producer of this show and love of my life @RealAmyEdwards. 
    Please consider joining our monthly giving club of donors, our Fight For The Forgotten Fight Team at www.fightfortheforgotten.org who we are so grateful for helping us provide clean water and community development for my Pygmy family and also bullying prevention here stateside.

    I’m really grateful you are here and enjoying the show. Enjoy this replay with Nick Santonastasso. I wouldn’t be re-airing this episode if I didn’t think everyone would get something profound or powerful in their lives!
