Chris Eischen is a "Kick Ass Dad" and a passionate Entrepreneur with a heart for helping others. I have had the pleasure of knowing Chris since Lewis Howes' big event, Summit of Greatness, in 2022. Since that time, I have seen Chris evolve to impressive heights. In the time that I've been lucky enough to know Chris- I have watched Chris build a number of great things, most importantly family and community.

All of these experiences lead Chris to launch Cultivated Online where he works as a Business, Marketing and Digital Media Consultant. In his years of working as an independent consultant Chris has spent over $4 million in digital advertising and helped raise over $15 million in revenue. He has had the privilege of working with the smallest of entrepreneurs as well as some Fortune 100 companies. But his greatest success out of all of this, is his ability to create a life around the one thing he cherishes most, his kids. His greatest passions get to be scheduled into his calendar each week as he volunteers at his daughters school. He loves helping kids with everything from Reading to teaching Junior Achievement. 

You can't help but admire Chris Eischen, and I think you'll get a ton of great takeaways from this episode. To learn more about Chris- here are a couple of places to find him.

When I got to speak with Dr. Josh Handt, it was a great reminder of the fun that we have had as a proud alum of the Charlie Engle Ultra Running crew. For the last two years, Josh and I were part of an incredible crew of people who have support the Penguin Movement for Recovery Event (that's how Josh and I met.)

In addition to being peak physical condition, Josh is abundantly clear in specific ways to optimize wellness.

Josh is a chiropractor who focuses on addressing the underlying causes of various health issues, such as headaches, back pain, TMJ, neck pain, pregnancy, pediatrics, and athletic performance and recovery.

Dr. Handt is dedicated to creating lasting relationships with clients, whether they are individuals, families, sports teams, or companies/organizations. Josh's goal is to enhance overall health and performance for his clients.

Josh was just honored with the prestigious Life U Lasting Purpose blazer. Josh gets to share this honor with his parents

Dr. Handt describes himself as a husband, brother, son, and visionary- and has a passion for making positive change and impact. I would also add brave, with conviction and a willingness to take the road less travelled. Not all of Josh's opinions and findings are mainstream. What I truly admire about Josh is his willingness to explain, to back his findings with experience and research, and to never tell clients what to do.

Josh Handt is affiliated with The New York Chiropractic Life Center as a partner. I am a massive fan of Josh, and I loved our conversation. Enjoy!

connect, elevate and inspire are words to live by, especially when those words are followed by vision and powerful action. The dynamic duo featured on my Podcast embody partnership at the highest levels. 

Josh Buchter aka “The Wolf of Broad Street” is a Real Estate Industry Entrepreneur, Business Development Pro, Connector, Event Host and Owner-Publisher of Philadelphia REAL Producers & Bucks County REAL Producers Magazines. 

⁠Beth Williams is Co-publisher/ Partner of Philadelphia and Bucks County RP Magazine and COO of Wolf of Broad Street RE Events & Consulting

I am grateful that I get to call Beth and Josh dear friends. I am also blown away, and you will be too- as to how strong these two business minds align. If you are from the Philadelphia and Bucks County part of the US- you probably know Josh and Beth- through their world class events and high powered magazines. This act is certainly going places- including globally. 

Listen in- as we talk life, business relationships, being digital nomads, building a combined life of your dreams, world traveling and life partners. This is a can't miss episode of the show.

When today's guest, Jay Doran, quotes Friedrich Nietzsche- “You must have chaos in you to give birth to a dancing star...” you get a clue into the mindset of a highly influential corporate advisor and Podcast host. 

Jay Doran is the CEO of Cultures Matters. CEO's rely on Jay to help improve company results. In this captivating episode, we delve into the profound themes of organizational values and transformation.

Drawing from leading team meetings and the book "Uncontainable" by the CEO of the Container Store, Jay realized the critical need of organizational leaders to continue their learning process. When Jay says "if we are not in constant R&D (learning) mode, what long term value can we offer to our clients/ our teams?" Jay walks the walk on the R&D point, logging in over 10,000 in just audio books consumed alone and counting.

Mentorship and continuous learning are celebrated as powerful tools for individual and team development. 

Curiosity is emphasized as it fuels innovation and adaptability, creating openness within organizations. We highlight the need for vulnerability and collaborative environments where diverse perspectives are valued and needed. 

I am such a fan of Jay Doran. Here's where to find Jay to learn more.
