  • Michael Jaquith, Leading with a Faith-based approach to self-improvement | EP91

    Episode 91!

    Meet Michael Jaquith. 

    This was a great conversation with a doctor of science - Michael has his PhD in Chemistry from Cornell - who is also a man of deep faith.  Michael left his corporate job after 10 years to help men optimize their family lives, their marriages and their business relationships by guiding them closer to God with a faith-based approach to self-improvement.   

    Michael shares his thoughts on how important it is that men get back to being the authentic, service-minded and sacrificial leaders they were created to be.

    Enjoy!

  • Life Beyond Your Last Bad Day with Michael O'Brien | EP89

    Episode 89 is here! 

    We officially kick off the new season, Season 3, with Michael O'Brien. 

    Michael was a super successful executive in marketing, leading a $700 million brand and had all the trappings of success.  Below the surface, though he was continually feeling like he had to "chase happiness" before he "made it".   

    Life changed for Michael when he was hit head on by an SUV while riding his bicycle. The wreck should have killed him but he somehow survived.   A period of darkness, anger, fear and depression gripped him as he contemplated his new life of limitations. 

    A mentor shared the thought that all events are neutral until we label them and asked Michael to consider if this event happened FOR him, rather than TO him.  After grappling with this idea for some time, Michael turned the corner and began to consider the moment of his wreck as his Last Bad Day. 

    Tune in and hear Michael's amazing and inspiring story!

  • Learning to Fix Your Belief System to Live Your Best Life with Dr. Greg Pursley | EP 86

    Episode 86!

    After graduating as a Chiropractic Physician, and buying a practice, Dr. Greg Pursley had a goal of becoming a multi-millionaire by the age of 30.  This was put on hold when his second child was born with a rare and life-threatening illness.  His life took a turn into chaos as he tried to keep all the balls in the air while caring for his son and keeping his family together. 

    In 2018, as his child's health improved, Greg re-evaluated what was working and what needed to change to allow him to thrive and live the life he dreamed of - with time freedom and the ability to not simply "own a job" and be able to leave his practice while it continued to grow. 

    Greg then authored a book called "Fix Your BS (Belief System)" - a book focused on how your belief system affects your potential for success - both positively and negatively. 

    A great conversation with Dr. G about how to build the life you want to live. 

    Enjoy!
