The Mindset Generation

What happens when the person who always asks the questions finally has to answer them? Bob Roth, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, one of America’s most respected meditation teachers, and the very first guest on The Mindset Generation, returns to the show. This time he turns the tables to interview his dear friend, host Adela Warkentin.

Most people know Adela as the host of The Mindset Generation, guiding intimate conversations about resilience, identity, and the inner work behind achievement. But long before this podcast, at just 11 years old, she was hosting a radio show in Montenegro. That young girl behind the microphone already sensed who she wanted to become. It took years, several countries, and a great deal of inner work to bring that vision full circle.
In this conversation, Adela steps into the hot seat shares where she comes from, what manifestation truly means to her, and why she has dedicated her work as an executive and mindset coach to helping people rewire the patterns that hold them back and step into who they really are. It’s the first chapter of her story, with much more to come.

What does it take to become one of the most recognizable women in America, build a remarkable career in television, and stay that way for over forty years? What if the secret isn't talent or luck, but a mindset you can actually learn? Vanna White joins me for an intimate conversation about the resilience, the visualization, and the quiet strength behind one of the most enduring careers in television history.

Most people know Vanna as the co-host of Wheel of Fortune, a beloved presence in American living rooms for over forty seasons and one of the most recognizable figures in television. But behind the letters and the legendary poise is a woman whose story runs so much deeper than the spotlight, marked by love, loss, reinvention, and an extraordinary inner strength.

She arrived in Los Angeles as a young woman with a dream, a strong work ethic, deep self-belief, and the willingness to do whatever it took to make it, along with the ability to see the life she wanted before it existed. Along the way she faced the kind of loss that reshapes a person, the death of her fiancé early in her life, and found her way through the grief with a grace that has defined everything since. This conversation is about how she did it, and what the rest of us can learn from her.

In this episode of The Mindset Generation, I sit down with Richard Greene, one of the most sought-after public speaking coaches in the world. He was Princess Diana's personal speaking coach, one of only eight Americans invited to her funeral, and has coached Presidents, Prime Ministers, and CEOs around the world.In our conversation, Richard shares his seven secrets of public speaking and gives us real examples of how and what we can do to change the impact of our message right away.

Tune in for the full conversation, along with the stories, insights, and wisdom behind a lifetime of helping people find their voice.

This is a masterclass in speaking with authenticity, presence, and the kind of truth that people never forget.

The world knows Robert Turbin as an NFL Super Bowl champion. What most people don't know is that at nine years old, he made a decision about who he wanted to become — long before anyone could tell him it was possible.

In the second episode of The Mindset Generation, Adela sits down with Robert for a conversation unlike any he's given before. They talk about his childhood, the resilience he built through challenging circumstances, and how the love of his father shaped him and gave him values he still carries today. He shares how he found his way into the world of sport, and what it took to hold onto his own path while his brother and sisters were living through struggles of their own.

It's a conversation about resilience, inner strength, mindset, and values — and about what it means to choose your own path when everything around you points somewhere else.

What do Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Lady Gaga, and Jerry Seinfeld have in common? They were all taught meditation by the legendary Bob Roth.

In the debut episode of The Mindset Generation, Adela sits down with one of the world's most experienced meditation teachers, CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, and author of Strength in Stillness. For over 45 years, Bob has taught Transcendental Meditation to more than a million people — from students and veterans to some of the most recognizable names in the world.

In this conversation, Bob opens up about the heart of the practice: what TM actually is, how it differs from other forms of meditation, and why just 20 minutes twice a day can reshape how you meet stress, creativity, and your own inner life. He also shares his own story — how he discovered meditation, the teacher who shaped him, and the decades of quiet daily practice behind the work.

It's an intimate, human conversation between two friends about a simple idea: everything you need is already within you.
