Wesley Bixler (@thewbix) did not have your typical Thanksgiving weekend. Imagine being at work on a normal Saturday, when a truck smashes through your wall almost killing you. In fact, had he stayed where he was just a minute before, he'd be dead right now. Wes does not take that for granted, and it's just fortified his life purpose.

Torrey Drake (@torreydrake) is a filmmaker and actor who set out in 2017 the LOFTY goal of making 12, yes TWELVE short films all in one year and is on track to hit that. With no prior experience mind you. He brings us in on how being bullied as a kid led to the theater, being unreasonable IS the best option, and what it's like to express your emotions through making movies and the catharsis you feel afterwards. Torrey is an inspiration that helps us see the importance of focusing on ourselves even when the world seems to be against us.

In a new vision for the podcast, Sophie Cook (@socookin) takes us on a journey into her mind both on what it means to live a life of fulfillment as well as the vulnerabilities that come along the way. She talks about her hardships with handling negative emotions, and how she uses meditation to work on those emotions. She also gets into the vulnerability of having supportive friends and family, and being more open in romantic relationships so both sides can receive the communication they deserve. You will no doubt hear her true self come out (her superhero Sophie as she calls it).

Brandon Tobias (@btobias6) is a Bulletproof Labs Tech, but most importantly a human. What I loved most about his journey was that while the exact details may not be similar, the process is so relatable. You get to hear how every seemingly "random" and "pain point" moment actually all was NECCESSARY, for him to get to his dream job today. People like to skip the process and get right to the dream job. The problem is, you can't get one without the other. We also go over how you know when to follow other people's advice like your parents vs your instinct, and what that feels like.

Megan Thomas (@megscoop and @alldefdigital) is going to be the next Oprah. Spending her energy more on how she can help others including her COMPETITION out rather than "me me me" to get ahead, Megan will be the first to tell you how to find the strength to keep going. She's also the person you want on your side cause she'll tell it to you straight - you aren't everyones cup of tea. But thats a GOOD THING! It means if you failed they just needed something else, not that you aren't "good enough." I love how relatable and actionable she broke it down. Don't chase success by forcing it. Put in the hard work, discover yourself, and it WILL unfold. How much time that's gone by isn't the measure of you're achievement. We all learn our lessons within the time length necessary for us INDIVIDUALLY.

Marcus Singleton (@followmarcus) has redefined for me what setting goals means. "I don't want to be successful so I can have the accolades...I want to do this so the rest of my family can know there is success." His thought process to me, mixes the old school with the new. When is the last time you heard someone state that as their goal? He learned very early in his life from his father that everything has a reason and a purpose. He learned from his schoolteacher that others like to project their failings onto you. Don't let it stop you from being YOU. Find your voice. USE that voice as Marcus does, to motivate people and show people the bigger side of you. The side that makes you different from everyone else. Let his journey be a wake up call to finding out how you can help others while you find yourself.

Cory Faulkner (@thecoryation) is the kind of grind story you expect to hear. He started out with a perfectly good degree in accounting where he could have focused the rest of his life building a very lucrative paycheck. Instead, he left it all, moved to Los Angeles, and drives for Uber. All so he could set his sights on launching his PerFIcT Fitness App - a platform for trainers to provide programs for customers to purchase at any time. We get into everything from giving up on the app, to failed launches. Any obstacles you'd think you might face pursuing your grind, is most likely addressed here. Check it out.

Doug Fruchey (@douglasfruchey) is an NPC Competitive Bodybuilder on the pursuit to getting his IFBB Pro Card. What separates Doug from a lot of competitors is his entire mindset towards competing. He embraces the community, the process, the people over trying to just win first place. He understands the importance of not just surrounding yourself with great people, but helping others in need before himself. I have no doubt he'll achieve his goal just cause of his capability of recognizing and having the balance of pursuing his goals, and contributing towards a community. He gives great tips on how you can string perfect days together as well as what happens when you break that consistency.
