Return To Authenticity

RTA episode 34 is here!  

Meet Matthew Paetz. Matthew went from small town Jamestown, Indiana, population of 700 to traveling the world as an international model in a matter of days.  Gone were the days of innocent basketball and one-stop-light-town farm life.  Matthew jumped into a foreign world and had to figure things out quickly to survive. 

From there, Matthew’s life accelerated as he dated a famous Hollywood actress and lived life under public scrutiny.  He went through a series of traumas, from a serious car crash to drug addiction, being a male escort, a short time of homelessness, and an attempted suicide.

Tune in to hear Matthew’s inspiring story of recovering off the bottom to a place where he now works to help others recognize their greatest human struggles and traumas lead to their greatest strengths and gifts to share with others. 

You'll love the knowledge and vulnerability shared by this courageous soul, so tune in!

Here we go with RTA episode 33! 

Meet Greg Westgate.  Greg grew up playing in the woods around his Michigan home, exploring, being in nature and working on a family farm. He decided at the young age of 13 that he was going to join the military, inspired by an uncle in the US Marine Corps.  The Corps wasn't his destiny, however, and he continued to run into mentors that guided him away from heavy op tempo and deployment branches based on his being married.  He landed in the US Air Force as a mental health counselor and medic - not the military career he dreamed of, and perhaps the exact one he needed and needed him.  He was active duty from 2008-2012. Greg struggled with a lack of purpose in the years following the military where he missed the structure and formality of it. He experienced many low points in the following years as he struggled to find purpose.  

Greg began buying and renovating houses and then flipping them for a profit to make a living, while his wife worked as a nurse and Greg stayed home with their two kids (at the time).  He began learning how to build knives, and dove into the craft, reading all the books he could find on the subject and experimenting in his shop.  Greg describes finding the craft of making knives like drawing breath for the first time, and after years of honing his craft, he learned that he could make money selling knives.  

Greg’s knives have reached the next level, as they have been featured on the “Gear Section” of NYTimes best selling author, Jack Carr’s, “Danger Close” podcast.  He’s been commissioned to build his knives for several high profile military clients and events that will be disclosed in the near future, and he’s busier than ever working in alignment with the talents he’s been blessed with, crafting custom knives at home with his family around him.  Check out his Instagram page @westofthe_gate to see pics of his knives and DM him for more info.  

Tune in and hear how Greg navigated through the ups and downs to find his true calling!

Episode 30!  Meet Chase Tolleson.

Chase shares a transparent story of life's challenges and how he pivoted around those challenges.  After growing up outside of Chicago, Chase joined the Navy with a dream of going to  BUD/S to become a SEAL.  A roadblock prevented that from happening, and Chase began planning for life after the Navy, opening a CrossFit gym and becoming a personal fitness coach once his four year commitment to the Navy concluded. 

When the pandemic put a kink in his gym business, and with Chase embracing a balanced fitness and mindset approach, he launched his online coaching platform and his podcast called The Primal Man Pathway, a show for men who want to fan their inner flame and tune body and mind to create the life of their dreams.  

Tune in and enjoy!

RTA Episode 29! 

Tune in and meet David Waldy.  David grew up in an idyllic life in the country, with fishing poles and BB guns and raising animals in nature.  He also watched his dad struggle as the local veterinarian and entrepreneur, working incredibly long hours to make ends meet.  The stress that applied to family and home life led David to associate being your own boss with struggle, stress and missing time with your kids, so when the time came, he jumped into the world of sales, rapidly climbing the corporate ladder and watching his income soar.  He also watched his health and family life decline under the similar stress of long hours and constant pressure to exceed someone else’s goals.  Hear how he turns it around to become a national speaker, author, business consultant and performance coach, and a dad that is focused on his family first.    You’ll love hearing the perspective and wisdom of David and his "Fierce Empathy".  

Enjoy!
