  • Flipping for Excellence with Justen Millerbernd

    I sit down with Justen Millerbernd, the most decorated tumbling coach in USA gymnastics HISTORY. Yeah, he's that good.

    As with most of The Nativist podcasts, this episode is free ranging and fun loving. We discuss everything from discipline and inner drive to empathy and acceptance.

    As an insider in the gymnastics world, Justen reveals his take on the recent scandal and how he maintained his integrity and spoke his truth, even if that meant standing alone.

    Not only does Justen share his experience of launching into gymnastics greatness (as an athlete turned coach turned gym owner), but also his general approach to living a life of purpose and heart.

  • Boundaries

    This is a presentation I deliver for various groups, such as the Women’s Networking Group. For those unable to attend, I got yo back - I recorded me giving the same speech!

    In this episode, I discuss the importance of setting personal and professional boundaries. It heavily draws from a previous blog post I wrote on the criticality of boundaries in exercising true, lasting compassion.

    I hope you love.

  • Tenacity and Authenticity with Eli Gerhard the Globetrotter
    Eli Gerhard is a shining example of someone who lives life out loud. Life doesn’t happen to him; he happens TO life. Hailing from humble beginnings, Eli shows just how far tenacity, hard work, and authenticity can take you.
    He proves it's not what hand you're dealt, but how you play it that matters. Having grown up in the projects, he's gone on to make a name for himself in both the military (ex-special forces) and government, sowing kindness and compassion along the way.
    He is the man of a thousand talents, and demonstrates the kind of life that’s possible once you kick excuses to the curb and get out and make it H A P P E N.
    If you want a high dose of inspiration to live life out loud and improve the world while doing it, I highly recommend you listen.
