Smart phones can be addicting for adults, let alone children with developing brains. With unlimited access to the internet and social media apps, Chris McKenna weighs in on kids are entering into the greatest social experiment of our time.

What is the purpose of education? This is a question many don’t think to ask and instead trusts the standard system that is set up for our children. Matt Beaudreau breaks down the problems with our current school system, how the model of compulsory schooling came to be what it is today, and what to do instead.

Matt is a provocative thought leader in educational and personal development practices and has an extensive qualification list. He not only has been both a public and private school teacher and administrator, he’s also a keynote speaker, consultant, and coach to organizations around the world with clients who have ranged from from Wells Fargo and Honeywell, to American Eagle and the United States Air Force.

The Game Changers documentary revolutionized plant-based eating in professional sports and was a key component in the rise of plant-based nutrition among men and athletes. In this episode, I sit down with the producer James Wilks, an elite combatives instructor and winner of The Ultimate Fighter. James is a no-BS, open hearted intellectual, full of passion and charisma, and spent years of his life researching the science behind plant based eating when he was recovering from an injury and looking for answers to heal and stay healthy. James has broken a lot of narratives because of his motivation and desire to push the limits to get the heart of the topic at hand.

The Game Changers was executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, and Chris Paul, and the film went on to become the most viewed documentary of all time, garnering unprecedented accreditations from the U.S. Department of Defense Health and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Wilks was subsequently ranked by Men’s Health as #3 on their list, “The 13 Most Influential Men in Health & Fitness.”

The mind and the body are explicitly connected, yet few realize how their thoughts impact their emotional and even physical health. While speaking positive affirmations are great, they can only do so much when your subconscious mind tells another story. And the body can only do what the mind tells it to do. Heather McKean shares the power of the mind and how to rewire your brain to heal from past traumas and physical ailments, and transform your emotional health.

Heather is a best-selling author, international speaker, and founder of the Mind Change Method. She’s a pioneer and leading expert in the neurobiology of trauma, chronic illness, and disease, and has helped empower thousands of people to take their health and happiness back into their own hands to help create the life of their dreams.

In this conversation, my sister Hannah McNeely and I cover meandering topics largely about motherhood that consistently bring us back to the theme of trusting our intuition and not comparing ourselves to others. This is a snapshot of what our unrecorded chats sound like. We inspire each other daily and hopefully this conversation can give you a nudge to recalibrate back to hearing your heart and living true to it.

Your mindset is a key to overcoming adversity and empowering ourselves from victim to victor. How we think and speak about ourselves is a strong determinator of our reality and this episode is all about using your disadvantages to your advantage and overcoming anything In life.

I sit down with Doug Bopst, a former drug addict and convicted felon who found transformation while serving jail time. He turned to drugs at 14 years old as a way to cope with an emotionally dysfunctional and broken home life including abuse, severe bullying, and the challenges that come with parents of divorce. This lead him down a spiral of addiction and selling drugs, and he was eventually pulled over and caught with drugs in his car. What seemed like the worst day of his life, turned out to be his greatest blessing. Doug speaks a powerful message in this conversation to help others harness the power within them to “kill your excuses” and live life to their greatest potential.
