We talked about the test. Now we’re looking at my results.

Dr. Darren Schmidt returns to Hanging Out with David Pasqualone & Friends for an on-camera review of David’s MVX Plus blood test results. After their first Remarkable People Podcast conversation, David had his blood drawn and came back with questions.

They discuss the overall MVX score, inflammation-related markers, citrate and amino acids, and how David’s eating habits, symptoms, and fasting history enter the conversation. David also speaks candidly about sugar, sodium, dental concerns, and the questions he wants answered.

This is a personal follow-up conversation—not evidence that a particular supplement or protocol will produce the same result for someone else.

IN THIS EPISODE
• David’s reported overall MVX score of 45.
• The discussion of GlycA, small HDL particles, and the IVX/MMX components.
• Why fasting history and the rest of the clinical picture matter.
• David’s honest questions about diet, digestion, and ongoing symptoms.
• Darren’s perspective on nutrition and follow-up care.

Dr. Jacquie Baly is a leadership strategist, educator, entrepreneur, author and public-service leader whose story is rooted in faith, hard work, family and perseverance.

In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, Jacquie joins David Pasqualone to share how she kept moving through difficult seasons—including years of financial pressure, entrepreneurship, motherhood, career transitions and returning to school later in life for her doctorate.

Jacquie explains why leadership is not a linear path, why growth requires doing uncomfortable work, how organization and planning create momentum, and why great leaders should leave people and institutions better than they found them.

The conversation also explores the lessons behind her book Built for Influence, raising high-performing children, mentoring the next generation, and the three things Jacquie does when pressure rises: pray, exercise and seek trusted counsel.

Danny M. Goldberg is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, trainer, and author who describes himself as a recovering people-pleaser.

In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, Danny joins David Pasqualone to explore why always trying to be “nice” can cost you confidence, identity, time, money, and respect—and how to build healthier boundaries without becoming rude, selfish, or cruel.

Danny shares practical lessons from relationships, corporate America, entrepreneurship, client work, parenting, faith, and his book A Little Bit Asshole. Together, David and Danny discuss the difference between being nice and being kind, why saying no does not always need an explanation, how to handle reasonable conflict, why people often undervalue themselves, and what it means to be assertive enough to earn respect while still treating people well.

One of Danny’s central ideas is simple:

“The goal isn’t to be nice. The goal is to be kind. The goal is to be respected.”

If you struggle with people-pleasing, weak boundaries, overexplaining, or putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own, this conversation offers practical ways to start changing that pattern.

Two heart attacks at age 10. Years of serious heart challenges. A family that left everything familiar behind in search of hope.

Hanna Bauer joins David Pasqualone on the Remarkable People Podcast to share how faith, recovery, entrepreneurship, and leadership helped shape her philosophy of turning friction into traction.

Hanna recounts her childhood medical journey and the courage she witnessed in her parents, then shares practical lessons listeners can apply to their own lives—including her BEAT method: Believe, Engage, Act, Transform.

Together, David and Hanna discuss faith through uncertainty, recovering emotionally after prolonged adversity, gratitude, burnout, breathing, acts of kindness, leadership, and why aligning purpose, people, and performance matters before simply pushing harder.

This isn't only a story about surviving hardship. It's about learning how to grow through it and use what you've experienced to serve others.

 "The brain actually can regenerate given the right information. You first remove the obstacles to cure through testing, and then you layer in the correct sound, light, and regenerative stem cell therapeutics to allow the body to heal itself." — Dr. Greg Eckel 

Can the human brain actually heal and regenerate after severe neurological decline? Mainstream medicine often says no, but Dr. Greg Eckel is clinically proving otherwise.

In this powerful episode of The Remarkable People Podcast, host David Pasqualone sits down with naturopathic physician and Chinese medicine practitioner Dr. Greg Eckel. Following the heartbreaking loss of his wife Soraya to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Dr. Eckel dedicated his life to answering one central question: How do we regenerate the human brain?

Dr. Eckel breaks down the three main causes of protein misfolding (Environmental Toxicity, Trauma, and Infections), reveals the early warning signs of neurodegeneration that most people ignore (like loss of smell and chronic gut issues), and explains his groundbreaking Eckel Protocol—utilizing frequency sound baths, targeted light therapy, and laser-guided stem cell therapeutics to restore cognitive function. Plus, discover the #1 food you must eat daily for brain health and the #1 neurotoxin you need to eliminate immediately.

"They can't just keep changing the laws on us and changing the goalposts and moving things to hide the fact that our elections are being stolen and being manipulated by computers. We are in the fight for humanity basically right now. It is as big as it gets." ~ Mike Lindell

Just one month after the highly contested August 11th Minnesota primary, Mike Lindell returns to The Remarkable People Podcast to expose what really happened on election night. In this explosive September 11th interview, Mike breaks down the statistical impossibilities of the election, including 55 instances of votes counting in reverse and synchronized voting percentages across all candidates.

Mike details his intense legal battle with the Minnesota Secretary of State and the Canvassing Board over a paper ballot hand-count audit. After the recount price was arbitrarily hiked to $825,000 and his request was denied by the Minnesota Supreme Court, Mike is now taking his case directly to the US Supreme Court, suing the voting machine companies for operating "defective devices."

This is the tip of the spear in the fight for election integrity. Discover how you can get involved using the Freedom of Information Act, why securing our elections is a spiritual battle for America's future, and how you can support the cause today.

Adversity may become part of your story—but it does not have to define who you are.

In this episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with former college football coach, author, and consultant Jay Paterno for a powerful conversation about faith, family, leadership, resilience, identity, and what happens when the life you expected suddenly changes.

Jay grew up as the son of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, but this conversation goes far beyond football.

Jay shares the values his parents taught him, the difference between success and excellence, how to balance family and professional ambition, why children need to learn how to face adversity, and why a leader should never abandon foundational values simply because circumstances change.

Jay also shares his personal perspective on the public crisis that changed his family's life, the loss of his coaching career, his father's death soon afterward, and how faith helped him reinvent himself at age 43.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why adversity does not have to define your identity
• The difference between success and excellence
• How to stay grounded in your core values
• Why “when you get home, be home”
• The Blue Line principle for life balance
• Why parents should prepare children for the path
• How to stop living in someone else's shadow
• Why leaders will never win unanimous approval
• The difference between problem people and solution people
• How faith and patience help during difficult seasons
• Why progress happens one play—and one day—at a time

One of Jay's most powerful reminders:

“You can't let the adversity define you.”

And perhaps even more importantly:

“That's not the last chapter written in your life.”

Retirement? Not this time. This episode goes somewhere much darker—and much more redemptive.

In this powerful episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, David Pasqualone sits down with Austin Rampt to discuss addiction, relapse, shame, faith, family, recovery, and redemption.

Austin shares an unforgettable story of childhood anxiety, bullying, deep emotional pain, drug addiction, burning down his family home, arrests, sobriety, relapse, running to Mexico, cartel danger, rock bottom, and finally the truth that began changing everything: you do not have to earn love.

This episode is for anyone battling:

•  addiction 
•  relapse 
•  shame 
•  hopelessness 
•  emotional wounds 
•  spiritual confusion 
•  family breakdown 
•  or the belief that their life is too far gone to be restored 

In this conversation, you will hear about:

•  childhood wounds and how they shaped Austin’s identity 
•  the first time alcohol made the noise go quiet 
•  addiction, overdoses, and life in Mexico 
•  the lie of “not good enough” 
•  why the opposite of addiction is connection 
•  how faith, surrender, and truth changed his life 
•  the power of family, fatherhood, and recovery 
•  how rock bottom became the beginning of redemption 

One of Austin’s most powerful lines in this episode:

“The opposite is not sobriety. It’s deep, intimate connections.”

If you or someone you love is struggling, please share this episode.
