  • Episode 15: Mike Liguori

    Father’s Day 2022!  

    For father's and son's and those with father's and son's, tune in to hear Mike Liguori’s powerful story of loyalty, anger, fear, forgiveness and redemption. Mike grew up in Northern California in a Catholic family as the oldest of 4 boys. His parents divorced when Mike was 7 years old which created both internal and external conflict between Mike and his father.  

    Life changed for Mike when he was a senior in high school and the terrorist attacks on 9/11 happened.  He immediately enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served for 4 years including 2 combat tours.  After his military service, Mike found himself struggling with combat stress while trying to find purpose and meaning in the world. He faced a critical decision that would determine if his relationship with his father could be repaired or would be lost forever. 

    Grab a copy of his book on Amazon and Barnes & Noble - releasing June 14 -  titled, “The Road Ahead and Miles Behind: A Story of Healing and Redemption between Father and Son”.

  • Episode 13: Kimberly Kesting

    This interview with Kimberly Kesting was a blast! Hear Kimberly’s story of growing up in New England and competing as a scholarship athlete on a collegiate rowing team. Post-college life in business in the rat race of NYC and some un-dealt-with demons from her rowing days landed Kimberly in a place of disconnect, disillusion, and despair. Hear how she set about changing her life’s course and finding her way back to energy, excitement and those “post-row glows”!

  • Episode 12: Dennis Morolda

    An awesome episode chopping it up with Dennis Morolda, a great leader and role model committed to building young men and providing them the tools to grow and thrive.   Growing up in New Jersey, Dennis faced bullying and trauma that shaped his childhood and early career decisions. He went to college where he pursued a degree in education and and quickly moved from the classroom to the administration side of education.

    This experience gave him great insight into what was lacking in the approach to building up strong young men and Dennis built his own program he called Building Men to fill the gap.  Despite the impact it was having, the administration told him to shut it down and focus on standardized test scores.  Something had to give and Dennis decided to leave the comforts of a high paying job, benefits and a retirement plan to pursue  his hero's journey of bringing his program to the world. Building Men has become a podcast, as well as 1:1 and 1:many coaching  programs where Dennis and his brother Anthony are focused on helping men become the most extraordinary version of themselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.  

    It hasn't been easy and Dennis has battled through various setbacks in pivoting toward his authentic self and his passion and commitment for making a true difference in the lives of others.  You'll be amazed and inspired when you hear his awesome story!
