Wake Up The Sun

I recently met Jason at our mutual friends event Hidden Summit in Naples Florida. Jason was one of the keynote speakers and delivered a highly memorable and knowledge based take on life. As a psychotherapist, Jason has worked in the field for over 20 years and as a son of two psychoanalysts he has been raised and brought up to know, speak on and help many people from all over the world.  His current practice is stationed in South Florida in Delray Beach.

What was amazing about Jasons story was how relatable and simple it was. From his childhood and journey into adulthood and what he overcame to be doing what he does today. While his professional career is that of a therapist he also travel and performs as a comedian and musician. He has balanced several passions that he once put off to the side because of some underlying fears he was telling himself.

Today Jason helps many people work through underlying issues and past traumas to become the best version of themselves. If you you would like to contact him you can reach him through instagram @jasonericross. We hope you enjoy the show!

I met Brian several years ago through mutual friends in the sober community. Immediately found out we shared the common affinity for golf and good times. Ive heard his story and have seen some of his work but not until recently after playing several rounds did I convince him to come on the show.

His journey is one of challenge and heartache. A seasoned hockey player at a young age and talent for hockey had him prepped for greatness and leaving his small community in South Boston. Through many trials his hockey career faded as his passion for drugs and alcohol became greater. He was no stranger to consequences and pain from his decisions and after years of trouble and strife he landed back in his hometown living in a halfway house with three other sober men fighting for his life.

By staying the course and listening to other sober men, he dove back into work and with his connections found opportunities that took him all over the world. Today he spends his time working with others in the coaching and consulting fields, has appeared in several blockbuster films as well as consulted on several scripts. He doesn't believe in coincidence but in God shots where God acts anonymously in his life and has provided him with so many fantastic opportunities. 

If you want to reach out and have questions or want to work with Brian you can connect with him on instagram @bsinsoflo. We hope you enjoy the show!

I met Kim years ago in the gym. A glowing smile, contagious and upbeat energy make it hard not to feel her presence in any room. Over the years I have watched her be of maximum service to the health and wellness community of South Florida with her 18+ years of service in a shared and now her own practice. Being that she is one of the most highly sought after practitioners, I had to wait months to get her to come by the studio and so grateful we had the chance to sit down and discuss the state of health, fitness, healing, medicine and what her take is on living he best life.

Kim owns and operates Evolve Acupuncture and Wellness. She and her team of amazing Women of Wellness help and aid anyone that has any health issues by taking a comprehensive and in depth approach to not just what ails them but there daily lives. From food, work, family, illness, routine etc she helps her clients find a way back to maximizing their health with small consistent actions that lead to the most impact.

We spoke about her own health journey, what fuels her desire to help others, her love and peace of her personal life and much more. Like anyone that comes on the show I could keep the show going for hours because we get to uncover so many great ideas, perspectives and shared experience, strength and hope. You can find Kim by visiting her website www.evolveacupunctureandwellness.com or on instagram @evolvedelray. Enjoy the show!

 I met Allison at the gym and we would always exchange a smile and good morning but that was about it. We never really spoke and over the months got to know her a little better and heard she had a wild story.  I thought what better way to get to know her journey than to have her on the show and share all ab out it. Prior to her joining me in the studio, I did a little research and have many questions and notes because it was unlike any other guest that I have had on the show. There are some similarities but her story is best told by her live and uncut.

A lifetime of chasing to fix herself and others by sheer force, manipulation and shaming  never worked and more recently she came to find something greater than herself. A newly found freedom in sobriety, sharing her authentic story and working with other women has given her new found purpose. She is set to release her own book, The Unbossing, has spoken on stages in a professional capacity and continues to share and connect with many across the country.

Her daily routine now differs hugely from the past and listening to her share of her time living on the streets to where she is today in extremely powerful. You can follow her on instagram @therealbossdoss  or her own website www.allisondoss.com. One of the most open and honest stories Ive heard in a long time so enjoy the show and have a most triumphant day!

Super grateful to have spent some time with Kareen as she was booked solid for her trip down to South Florida for clients and master mind groups. As she states, "Im a lot" and its because she goes above and beyond for other people and has done so for over a decade in the professional and business development space.

One of my favorite lines from her page and while talking is that she is "all up in your business" and likes to take a deep dive, under the hood to see the whole process, any workplace traumas and have a common goal and understanding of how to get there. She is a healer, super connector, differentiator and part of a mastermind group with many other successful professionals where she evolves and helps others to do that on their journey. When Kareen comes across something she wants to learn more about she's all in and goes into an immersive process that allows her to better understand how it could help her and in return help her clients which lens to her belief that "you must serve yourself first before you serve others"

Her routine is steadfast even with all her travels. She allows herself to wake up without any alarm or distraction that can jolt her out of her sleep pattern, already has her day planned from the night before, writes out her fresh intentions, meditation, breath work and off to the gym to get the body moving. For more you're going to have to tune into the show and hear her journey to where she is today as she has overcome obstacles and done so with grace, honesty and just being her. You can reach Kareen on instagram  @kareenzwalsh or Linkedin: kareen walsh or her personal website www.kareenwalsh.com. Enjoy the show and have a most triumphant day!

I met Robbie years ago at a local gym. Her energy and enthusiasm were unmatched and have stayed in touch over the years. I recently saw her posting more on her social media regarding lifestyle, fitness and overall health and asked her to come on the show and talk about her journey.

Robbie shared about her career in the restaurant/bar industry, health/wellness and the personal training of clients to the journey of seeking validation through onlyfans. Robbie spoke of never dishonoring your past as things serve a purpose and teach you what you want and don't want in life. Today she keeps things simple and focuses on her day to day and what drives her to live her best life. One thing she suggested and I've been implementing is when you wake up give yourself a big smile. Admittedly, I thought that was really stupid and silly but it made me laugh and is a good start to the day before my own routine. 

Working on herself and helping other women is her goal today. Finding a great routine, working out, reading and coaching based off her past experiences is what makes her who she is. "Its easy to lose your worth or become so codependent" she shares when not living her authentic self. Please enjoy the show and if you have any questions or looking to learn more about coaching opportunities please visit instagram or youtube for @robbieleonaa or @robbieleona_ We hope you enjoy show.

I had heard Lauren’s name over the years as one of the most trusted artist/hair stylists in the area. Having worked and lived in Delray Beach, you get to know and familiarize yourself with local businesses. Whats remarkable about Bond Street Salon is its history and future as a Delray Beach landmark. 

What started as a passion from a young age, Lauren knew she wanted to be involved. She was enthralled by the experience, uniqueness and individuality that she witnessed by her first salon experience in Boca Raton Florida. Her journey continued by apprenticing in different salons locally and abroad until she was ready to go off on her own and had great mentorship to support that decision. 

Lauren prides herself on her routine, process and ability to handle many different businesses and personalities all at once. Her foundation is prayer and meditation as well as a strict fitness and hygiene regimen. That process translates into her growth and success of her long standing business Bond Street Salon. If you have any questions or are looking for a new salon experience please visit www.bondstreetsalon.com. We hope you enjoy the show!

I met Santy on the courts of Delray Beach Tennis Center playing Pickleball. After seeing him over and over we realized we had a lot of mutual contacts, connections and shared similar stories in turning tragedy into triumph. I asked him to come on the show to share his journey of growing up in South Florida as a first generation immigrant and overcoming the challenges of young adulthood and addiction.  

Santy shared of his tough childhood in trying to put on appearances in front of his friends, his parents sacrificing and providing everything and anything necessary to help him fit in. From a young age, Santy felt like he didn't belong and it led him down a path riddled with doubt, fear and eventually coping by using drugs and alcohol to numb his pain. A friends father from his childhood eventually provided some guidance and help in finding a new path which led him to learning more about his true purpose and giving back to those that struggled with the same addictions. Santy learned everting by immersing himself in his own recovery process, helping around a facility, driving vans, sweeping and working with others. 

In doing so, Santy created his own business based on what he valued and loved the most; helping others and providing a safe place for people to get well and recover. What started out as a small venture grew and while there were challenges along the way with business and partners he went all in and kept going. His story embodies resilience, effort and never giving up on his dreams. He now employs many people who share his values, his family who always provided for him and continues to seek and chase after his passion of health, wellness and giving back to the community. You can check out his business at www.campusrecoverycenter.com and @campusrecovery. We hope you enjoy the show!

The South Florida fitness community is one rich with entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and go getters. I met Dan Baird through mutual friends and after having a great conversation over the phone, I invited him to jump on the podcast. Dan is the co-creator of NADS underwear which is a Certified organic non-GMO cotton created underwear product that gives your package a clean, comfortable, and healthy home and reduces harsh chemical exposure to your reproductive parts.

In speaking with Dan he shared his story about living a clean and healthy lifestyle but noticed that his testosterone was significantly low for a man of his age. It propelled him into learning more about all aspects of health and how the current clothes we wear are made with harsh chemicals, dyes, plastics and more. What was even more concerning was that most athleisure wear and his day to day clothes were the most harmful and possibly contributing to his low T. His research found that male testosterone levels have dropped significantly over the last 3-5 decades. Testosterone levels are detrimentally low amongst men of all ages. 

Dan and his friend begun the journey of creating a better for you underwear that  promises to provide their customers with the healthiest underwear possible. At NADS they will always design and create products with one main focus above all else: Health.
Please enjoy the show and give their products a try. I have switched over to NADS for my day to day and while I'm sure it takes time to notices any difference I can promise you my nads have never been in a better environment. You can check out their site at www.nadsunder.com and if you have any questions you can reach Dan on his insta @dan.baird1. We hope you enjoy the show and for the love of all things good please save your nads.

I met JP through mutual friends and attended his first golf charity event benefitting Quantum House several years ago. The always smiling JP is the host with the most and always looking at ways to help, serve and benefit the community and his clients. While attending the dinner post event, his daughter spoke about the event and charity which I though was so sweet and then learned that she was in fact his business partner and soon to be finishing college at the age of 18. I was blown away and had the chance to invite them in for a podcast to learn more about what they meant.

Valentina, better known as Vale is a highly motivated, intelligent and business savvy young lady. We spoke about what motivated her to become so engaged in the business side of things at a young age and she related that she was always with her dad listening to him speak to clients, watching his interactions and absorbing it all. She jumped at the chance to take college level credits while finishing high school and even become involved in the day to day real estate market of buying, selling and managing the air bnb's. 

A first in the wake up the sun show interviewing father and daughter, it was a true pleasure to learn about the dedication to routine, an intense work ethic all while not stressing about the unknown. You can learn more about the Jarred Parton group @jphomegroup or on instagram @jphoomegroupyt on YouTube. We hope you enjoy the show!
