"In a world where everyone wears a mask, it's a privilege to see a soul."

This weeks guest comes to us from Dallas Texas by way of Kansas City, Mo. Former student athlete, life-long gymnast, certified personal trainer, Reiki Energy healer and nutritional counselor Alison Jones. Dr. Jones holds a doctorate in the field of chiropractic care. In addition to her 16 years as a student athlete, she is well-versed in mind & body wellbeing, as well as the challenges of misinformation, nutritional access, and how to inspire transformation through encouragement and incremental progress.

We spoke about her background, career shifts, discovering her purpose and following it with passion as well as a range of topics from nutrition, forming habits, what we put into our bodies and what we get out of that investment or expense. If you're looking for tips on small changes you can make to your wellness regimen, things to look out for in supermarkets, and more information concerning things like common myths about the organic and health food industries, this is an episode to pay close attention to.

I discovered quite a few things about the dangers of processed meat, which fatty oils are best to eat and how to use them to prepare foods, some quick tips about portion control, why probiotics are important and basics about intermittent fasting.

If you are planning a lifestyle change for the beginning of the new year or are simply a health-nerd who takes what you put into your body seriously, this is one episode you can't skip.

This week we discussed nutrition, food consumption, GMO's and additives, preventive approaches to health care, the generational impact of poor nutrition habits, gut health, intermittent fasting, how to nudge the one's you love to healthier habits in love, intestinal health and how the mind and body work interdependently as well as techniques to get you up and going on your journey to your best self.

"I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really, get busy living or get busy dying."

—Ellis "Red" Redding (Morgan Freeman)

For Kansas City native Wesley Hamilton, the decision to no longer remain at the mercy of his disability came well after the shooting that left him paralyzed from the waste down, the near-death coma he later he recovered from and the prognosis that he would never regain the function of the lower half of his body.

For this young man, living life on his terms began by the prophetic words of his then four-year old daughter, "My daddy is in his Superman chair."

Today, Ken sat down with this once self-admitted insecure and overweight kid from East Kansas City, rapped about how he became a rebound founder and philanthropist, an award-winning adaptive athlete and motivational speaker after, whose complete physical, emotional and spiritual transformation all but defy the laws of nature.

Wesley opens up about the challenges he faced growing up without an accessible father or male role model at home, the choices that lead to his life- altering brush with death, struggles with his own body image and how trying to fit in eventually led him to become a product of his environment.

Wesley and ken both get vulnerable the ways self-esteem issues black men bury in their childhood to avoid appearing soft, often resurface into our adult hood, the residual effects of unaddressed emotional emptiness turns into addiction, anger, violence or an unhealthy obsession with creating the appearance of

being unbothered and how that ultimately pushes those we need most away.

Wesley touches on how he reprogrammed his perspective, found joy in his road to a renewed purpose and how very small, yet intentional decisions formed the snowball that allowed him to lose an astonishing 100lbs. in a twelve-month time span, the nurse who encouraged him to begin his non-profit foundation, Disabled but Not Really, how he got into competitive body building well-after his accident and the deliberate investments in himself, his purpose and his daughter that have paid-off in unimaginable ways.

I don't care who you are, this story is for you and you will be influenced to dig deep within yourself and become greater than your adversity after listening to this episode. Wesley story is one of survival, determination, discovery and abundance.

The way Wesley repeatedly commits himself to excellence without fear and the desire to experience life on his own terms and ferociousness he attacks his dreams and vision with are at the core of what this podcast is all about, so download this episode. I'm sure it is one you will revisit.

Main Topics:

This week we discussed emotional development, overcoming personal challenges, discovering and operating in your purpose, overcoming your environment and other challenges blocking you from living your best life, addiction, anger, insecurity, the value in discovering yourself in isolation, the importance of positive self-affirmations and how extraordinary determination, commitment and daily steps forward can be the phone booth that stands between the Clark Kent you are, and the Superman you have the potential to become.

Thanks to my previous guest Crystal Chisholm I was able to sit down with Bishop Frank Garris. As the Senior Pastor and Founder of Heart of God Cathedral in New Jersey, Bishop Garris has served his community in a professional capacity as a mental health advocate for over 17 years. His unique insight about the challenges we as people of color face when addressing mental- wellness and ability to deliver this that information in a digestible way made this conversation educational and enjoyable to have.

We discussed how Mr. Garris got into the field of mental health, some of my challenges with my journey to mental-wellness, the problem with prayer as treatment and a host of other stories, questions and anecdotes that will help you if you're looking to help someone who may be suffering with undiagnosed mental illness, or need help yourself.

If you know someone who suffers from undiagnosed mental illness, are struggling to come to terms with your own emotional & mental demons or want to discover how you can aid someone in getting the help they need in ways that don't deprive them of the power of choice, this is definitely your episode.

Main Topics:

This week we discussed hurdles people of color experience when confronting mental healthcare, the dilemmas that make us more likely to suffer from mental health issues within our own communities such as an early exposure to violence as well as societal issues such as financial & educational exclusion and food deserts.

Additionally, we talked about the dangers of unaddressed mental illness, over- diagnosis in our schools, the 5 stages of change, advocating for those who are battling mental illness and finding therapists or counselors, with the culturally competence to understand your unique challenges as a person of color.

This week I sat down with my old friend and peer Ryan S. Harvey

At the young age of 33, this life-long entrepreneur, finds time to juggle being a full-time educator at the Ombudsman Alternative School, doting single-father, am extremely powerful motivational speaker and brand ambassador for the global personal growth company Volo. With his tireless work-ethic, persistence and willingness to be faith-led and purpose driven, it's no wonder that doors are opening for this young man in about every area of his life.

Today Ryan and I sit down to discuss his transition from fatherless to fatherhood, the opportunities he found in pain as well as personal growth, accountability; how his persistence and dedication led him to the transformation of a lifetime and how he finally actualized the potential to be a leader and found positive ways to use that leadership.

If you've ever wondered about the value of men mentoring and pouring into the next generation, how others go about committing to a dream being their present circumstances and actualizing your potential — You'll really enjoy our conversation.

Main Topics:

This week we discussed everything from the challenges of growing up without immediate male-role models, the importance of inheriting a legacy of respect, discovering your inner courage and how to transform pain into opportunity instead of transmitting it to those around you.
