The Apex Podcast

In this episode, Jan interviews Michael Brody-Waite. They discuss what it means to lead "Mask Free", and discuss deep personal experiences, as well as three key things you can practice on a daily basis to start living your life mask free.

Great Leaders Lead like Drug Addicts.

What a powerful statement. Jan has always had a passion for the addict population due to his personal experience battling drug abuse as a coping mechanism for depression in high-school as well as working at a drug rehabilitation center for youth in college. When he saw Michael speak on a TED Talk he immediately reached out.

In this episode, Jan interviews Gary Sirak (Sir-ack). Sirak was born in Canton, Ohio in the 1950s. In this interview, Gary paints a picture of his early childhood, selling enough mints to pay for summer camp (without talking), and the values his family instilled in him that still act as a moral compass for him today.

You'll also get some practical financial advice from the man himself! So stay tuned if you want to know some of Gary's tips and tricks for navigating the pandemic economy.

In this episode, Jan and RJ interview an ordinary guy from Wisconsin...

Or so it seems...

Since 2000, Tim Friede, a truck mechanic from Wisconsin, has endured some 200 snakebites and 700 injections of lethal snake venom—all part of a masochistic quest to immunize his body and offer his blood to scientists seeking a universal antivenom. For nearly two decades, few took him seriously. Then a gifted young immunologist (Dr. Jacob Glanville) stumbled upon Friede on YouTube—and became convinced that he was the key to conquering snakebites forever.

In this episode, Jan and RJ sit down and dive into the journey of Centivax senior scientist Jack Wang. Jack talks about his childhood, moving to the United States in 2008, and all of the cultural/language barriers that he encountered along the way.

The rest is history in the making.

What's up Apex Chasers! Today we're trying something new and giving you access to a live stream that Jan did the other day with 1st Lt Ryan Stitt, host of The History of Ancient Greece.

Jan talks to Ryan about all of the ins and outs when it comes to starting a podcast, the sheer amount of research that goes into each of his episodes, and how long he foresees the show continuing.

"If you start a podcast to make money, you won't be successful. You have to be passionate about it. There's no way that you can stay motivated to produce a quality show if you're not passionate about it"

Here's a little about Ryan!

Hello, I’m Ryan Stitt and I am the researcher/writer/producer of the History of Ancient Greece, a podcast series covering Ancient Greek political, social, and cultural history from prehistory to the Roman conquest (possibly even further if the interest is there).

Out of all of the many great civilizations in the ancient world, what was it that made the Greeks so special? And why are we millennia later so radically linked to them? Well, those are some of the very important questions we will examine during the extent of this podcast. In the western world, we can’t possibly understand our society if we don’t understand its Greek origins and how it developed, as there’s a great deal of continuity from ancient Greece to the modern world. Greece was the cornerstone of western civilization. But the question is how did this come about?
