  • 60. Justin Donald | Investing in Your Financial Freedom

    Many of you may know that for 20 years I spent much of my time on the Chicago trading floor and my love for investing has been a constant ever since. I don’t find too many opportune moments to dive into this passion on TGU, so this conversation was certainly a fun one to finally have on the show. Among his many investment tips and tricks, Justin is keen on the importance of “family man first, businessman second”. He wrote his book (see below) as a legacy piece; a memoir of investment tips that he wanted to pass down to my daughter. I mean, how awesome is this?!


    Justin and I explore...

    → The importance of reclaiming control over your financial future.

    → What is Front Row Dads?

    → Creating clarity around what you DO want vs what you DON’T want.

    → The myths and misconceptions of why you’re not capable of investing.

    → Justin’s “Murphy’s Laws” of Investing.

    → And much more!

  • 59. Josh Trent | Vision Quests, The Hungry Ghost, and Armoring Ourselves with Overindulgences

    You may be familiar with today’s guest from a couple weeks back as we co-hosted episode 56 together. Josh Trent joins us again and this time, he’s fresh off of a 10 day vision quest, deep in the Idaho wilderness; with a hefty supply list of 4 gallons of water, sleeping bag and toilet paper. Among the immense wisdom that Josh shares with us, he unravels an incredibly intimate experience that healed years of shame and guilt.


    Josh and I dive into…

    → Overindulging as a temporary way to feel “safe”.

    → The guilt & shame cycle.

    → Navigating from a trauma bond to a loving bond.

    → Cultivating spaciousness to allow ourselves to be a witness to our lives.

    → Why, oftentimes, expansion is not birthed from the path of least resistance.

  • 58. Mikki Willis | Choosing Love for Our Freedom, Our People, and Our Health

    If you’ve been listening along, you’ve likely heard me highly recommend one of Mikki's masterpieces, Plandemic: Indoctornation, where he and his team of incredible researchers seek out the truth within all of the misleading information these days.

     

    Mikki’s here today to share his personal story of waking up to the harmful false narratives that surround us and what's inspired him to share all that he has discovered so far; risking it all due to his love for freedom, people, and health.

     

    In this insightful conversation with Mikki, we explore...

    → The personal losses that encouraged Mikki to take a deeper look at what lies before us.

    → The effects of our population living in a state of fear.

    → How cognitive dissonance is the real concern.

    → How the constant fear-inducing narratives limit one's capacity for critical thinking.

    → Ways that our morality and language are being weaponized.

  • 57. Adrian Grenier | From Entourage Indulgences to a Life of Meaning, Impact & Essentialism

    Have all the “things” yet still feel empty inside? Seems to be the theme the past couple of weeks here on TGU. Today I’m thrilled to have my brother, Adrian Grenier, on the pod today as he takes us through the many reincarnations of his life so far. From indulging in the life of sex, drugs, and rock n roll to eventually waking up in his early 40s.

    Adrian and I discuss…

    → Being asleep at the wheel of life.

    → Addiction to approval and attention.

    → Indulging in the parts of us that we want to strengthen.

    → Living in a constant cycle of pleasure-seeking and escapism.

    → Paying mind to the layers of ourself that we’ve forgotten to deal with.

    → The importance of community in supporting our personal evolution.

  • 53. Boyd Varty | We Are the Creators & the Healers of Our Own Suffering

    Fan favorite lion tracker, Boyd Varty, is back with us and diving into the “art” of suffering – a self-inflicted phenomenon.


    It’s safe to say that we’ve all suffered one time or another, but oftentimes people remain in the drama-filled stories that they, themselves, have created. I know I have. With this, the suffering doesn't end... it only replicates. In this episode, Boyd breaks down a few of his own stories of suffering and his discoveries from the untrue stories that he placed atop the kind reality.


    Boyd and I explore...

    → The beauty and kindness of the contemplative mind.

    → Undoing the desire to fix situations.

    → Finding clarity once removing the story of drama.

    → How to align with the reality of what is unfolding.

    → How to acknowledge and shorten the period of suffering.

  • 51. Del Bigtree | Learning How to Advocate for Yourself
