Sunita L. Williams (Suni) was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1998 and is a veteran of two space missions Expeditions 14/15 and 32/33. She is currently assigned to the cadre of astronauts training to fly the initial test flights for America's first commercially built spacecraft the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX Dragon. She and her crewmates are working closely with the commercial providers to develop their new spacecraft systems, which will eventually provide round-trip crew transportation services to the International Space Station.

With 50 hours and 40 minutes, Williams holds the record for total cumulative spacewalk time by a female astronaut. In addition, Williams, who has spent a total of 322 days in space on two missions, now ranks sixth on the all-time U.S. endurance list, and second all-time for a female astronaut.

Corey Rennell who is the founder and CEO of CORE Foods. CORE Foods started in Oakland California as a healthy organic kitchen with fresh plant-based ingredients but in 2015 transitioned into producing their own product line which is the CORE Meal Bar. You can find them at any whole foods nationwide, and they are incredibly nutritious and great tasting. I actually have been eating them regularly for breakfast and after workouts, and encourage to try one ASAP.

Time Magazine featured CORE Food Bars in the article "5 of the Healthiest Granola Bars, According to Nutrition Experts," and the article quotes one nutritionist saying the CORE Foods Bars is the best choice for the consumer. One indicator of their nutrition is you will find them refrigerated at the store because they are perishable. CORE Food Bars are made of all organic, local, and fresh ingredients.

The company is also a not-for-profit, and all net proceeds go to charity. At their headquarters, CORE Kitchen, they hire formerly incarcerated employees to help them get back on their feet and make a real living. As you can see Corey is on a mission to bring healthy food to the world while helping the community and planet.

The inspiration for the meal bars and CORE Foods came from when Corey got put on the reality TV show "Last Man Standing" with the BBC and Discovery Channel. Corey and 5 semi-pro athletes lived with 12 different tribes around the world. Corey took the nutrition and values from each tribe he lived with and has applied it to his life and business.

We have a fascinating conversation telling her story and how she created a life of extreme adventure. We talk about why Hilaree thrives and seeks taking risks and chances in her life, why you're not truly living until you get out of your comfort zone, why you should pursue things you can fail at because that is where you learn and grow, and so much more!

Davey Rabinowitz found his passion for cuisine as a chef at Starky's, one of Bozeman, Mt's most popular restaurants. He moved to Bozeman to attend college but he soon found that cooking would be his future. Davey knew he wanted to build a life in Bozeman, but he wanted to do it as a chef. From Montana, he left for Portland, Oregon and completed formal training at Le Cordon Bleu. He gained further experience in some of the city's finest restaurants, such as Castaña and Departure, where he was honored with the 2013 San Pellegrino Award and the West Coast "Almost-Famous Chef" Award.

Before heading abroad, Davey apprenticed at Atera in New York then moved to Copenhagen to apprentice under renowned chef Christian Puglisi at Relae, the world's most sustainable restaurant. In each position, Davey took careful note of what he would include in his own dining establishment.

Akbar Sheikh has had more of a rollercoaster ride to success than most people. Like so many recent college graduates Akbar did not know what he wanted to do with his life. This led him down a rough path.

Akbar bounced around jobs that he hated, including selling cars at one point which made him a living, but he was miserable doing it. He did not enjoy being so "salesy," Akbar wanted to do good for the world in his work. He hit many low points before finding his way, including being homeless for a period of time not too long ago and living in a janitor's closest. He turned to partying to mask what was going on inside, and everything came crashing down the night he should have died at the hospital.

Akbar changed his life as soon as he left the hospital. He quit partying and lost 50lbs. He also found online sales and tremendous success; making millions along the way.

I typically steer clear of online marketers or salespeople as guests for the podcast, but Akbar is different from most. Besides, his crazy story to success, it's what he is doing with his money that caught my attention. Akbar was awarded Top 30 Social Entrepreneur of the year in 2017 because of all the fantastic work he is doing. He has a mission to end world hunger among other noble causes.

He is now helping entrepreneurs build their business online using his success tools, with one catch. Each person he works with must have a business with purpose, and they must donate at least 10% of new earnings to a worthy cause doing good in the world. Akbar is an awesome guy with a great outlook on the world and life, and provides a great conversation!

Ginger Marie Corwin is an Amazon Best Selling Author, Speaker, and Life Coach. She helps people who are searching for a deeper level of happiness and self-love to find self-acceptance, power in their thoughts, and happiness in the present moment, so that they can feel financially free, fiercely confident, and in control of their lives.

Ginger and I actually went to the same college and she reached out to me after reading a write-up in our Alumni magazine that highlighted the Unbeaten Path. It turns out Ginger and I had a lot of correlations in our paths, and she is a perfect guest for the show.

Ginger has had quite the rollercoaster of careers since starting out in the Insurance industry, moving into event planning, but still not finding her happiness in her career.

Ginger would sit at her desk and watch the clock waiting for the work day to be over. She wondered "Am I ever going to get promoted?" "Am I ever going to make the kind of money I deserve?" She felt a mixture of sadness because she was doing something she did not enjoy, anger because she was still in the same position she had been in for years, and resentment towards her peers that were excelling quicker than her. Ginger knew that she was meant for so much more. She wanted to make a difference in the world and have a job that she loved.

This all changed when she hired a life coach and it transformed her entire life. Ginger realized that she wanted to help change people's lives as well. She became a coach, speaker, and author since then and she is living the life of her dreams.
