A former physicist walks into the studio and suddenly the Law of Attraction stops sounding like a slogan and starts sounding like a system. Randy Lyman , author of The Third Element , joins us to unpack the “missing key” most people skip: emotions. Not performative feelings, not workplace drama, but the kind of honest emotional awareness that changes how you lead, how you relate, and what you keep attracting into your life. We talk through Randy’s turning point moment, an intense emotional release that was followed by a real shift in his day-to-day reality, and why he sees that as cause and effect. From there we go into the deeper framework: resonance across your thoughts, your actions, and your emotional state. We also explore the quantum physics references that shaped his model, including the double slit experiment and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, plus a practical lens most of us can relate to like the reticular activating system and how intention changes what you notice. If you’re a leader, this gets personal fast. Randy explains why feelings are already running the show even when you pretend they aren’t, how to process emotions without making decisions from them, and what people need more than money at work: acknowledgement, contribution, and belonging. He shares a simple four-column writing exercise to make stress tangible and find the real emotion under the judgment.

This Week's Guest: Heather Younger Chaos at work has a way of exposing what’s real. When the market shifts, a reorg lands, or anxiety spreads across a team, people don’t look for a perfect leader. They look for a steady one. That’s why I sat down with Heather Younger , a leadership and workplace culture keynote speaker, researcher, and best-selling author known for her work on caring leadership and what she calls becoming unshakable. We get into the nuts and bolts of what “care” actually looks like on the job. Heather breaks caring leadership down into clear, visible behaviors like active listening, building trust, creating psychological safety, and setting expectations that eliminate confusion. We also challenge the common mistake of treating care as “being nice.” Kind leadership can include tough feedback, guardrails, and accountability that protects the team and helps people find the right fit, not just the comfortable path. Then we go deeper into self-leadership and self-regulation: values, fear, progress over perfection, and the ability to pause before you react. Heather shares why selective vulnerability matters, how leaders can acknowledge hard moments without spilling stress onto their people, and why steadiness is a practice, not a personality trait. We also preview her upcoming book, The Unshakable Team, including the canoe metaphor and practical tools like a team stability scan and a steadiness index designed to help leaders navigate uncertainty. If you lead people, build culture, or simply want more resilience at work, you’ll leave with a clearer playbook for trust, emotional intelligence, and stability when it counts.

Brad (and Hugo) sit down with Mary Kelly from Omnia Integrative Health and Med Spa to separate signal from noise, by starting with a simple summer problem most of us get wrong: when to apply sunscreen and why sweating changes everything. From there, we get into what Mary actually does day-to-day as a registered nurse, aesthetic injector, and certified nurse health coach and why not so accurate social media marketing creates confusion around skincare, supplements, and quick-fix promises. We go deep on aesthetic medicine with a safety-first lens: what Botox really does, how “preventative Botox” works by reducing repetitive facial movement , and why filler is a totally different category with higher stakes. Mary breaks down collagen stimulation, modern filler techniques that aim for natural movement, and the importance of anatomy training, including her most recent cadaver lab work. We also talk red flags to watch for when choosing an injector ( obviously use Mary to get the best results ), what can go wrong, and how good practices include explaining risks and inviting you back for quick tweaks if something looks off. Then we pivot to the wellness side, including GLP-1 medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, why they’ve been around longer than people think, and why the best outcomes require medical supervision , body composition tracking, protein, and resistance training to protect muscle and reduce the “GLP-1 face” look . Mary also shares the lab work many patients never get through standard insurance panels, including fasting insulin for insulin resistance and ApoB for cardiovascular disease risk , plus how vitamin D and B vitamins fit into a smarter preventive medicine plan. We close with longevity topics like perimenopause, menopause, and safer hormone replacement therapy options that prioritize metabolic health first.

You can tell when a book is written by a real person, because it sounds like a real person. After four months of calls, drafts, and “ghost doctoring,” my ghostwriter Matt Harms , founder of Pen For Hire, finally joins me in the studio to talk about what it actually takes to turn messy notes and life stories into a finished manuscript, and why the best ghostwriting never feels like someone else taking over your voice. We dig into the nuts and bolts of ghostwriting: how Matt keeps projects moving when clients are busy, how he pulls the right stories out of you with the kind of questions that feel suspiciously therapeutic, and what “good collaboration” looks like when you’re building trust fast. We also talk about the reality that most books do not earn back their cost in direct sales, and why that is not the point. A great nonfiction book can still be your most powerful credibility tool, your clearest philosophy statement, and a way to help one reader at the exact right moment. AI shows up in a big way too. Matt shares a genuinely exciting use case: AI-assisted illustration for children’s books that can turn families into consistent characters and speed up production. Then we flip to the downside, why AI writing often reads polished but empty, and why “garbage in, garbage out” still rules. If you’re thinking about writing a book and wondering whether to hire a ghostwriter, choose a publisher package, or try author coaching, this conversation will help you pick the path that matches your budget, timeline, and goals.

You can love your daughter more than anything and still feel like you’re speaking different languages. That’s the tension we dig into with Madeline Anderson, founder of Girl Dad Network and author of Girl Dad , as we get honest about what actually builds a strong father daughter relationship and why so many families drift into distance without meaning to. We talk about how Madeline went from a UCLA business economics track and a finance career into a purpose-driven mission after realizing something was missing and stress was piling up. From there, we unpack what she noticed in college: a lot of young women carry real pain around their dads, often fueled by disconnects more than bad intent. Her key idea is powerful: it’s rarely a “dad problem” or a “daughter problem” so much as a communication translation issue, and translation can be learned. Then we get practical. We cover how distractions and phones create an attention gap, why “including your daughter in your world” can be a game-changer, and how even a simple invitation to join you for football, golf, music, or errands rewrites the story she tells herself about her worth. We also break down a topic every dad of a teenage daughter should understand: hormonal cycles, mood shifts, and how to respond with grace without walking on eggshells. If you want parenting tips that improve connection, reduce conflict, and help you become the steady North Star your daughter can trust, you’ll get a lot from this conversation.

AI is updating at a pace most of us have never had to keep up with, and that speed is exactly why so many smart people feel overwhelmed or suspicious. We sit down with Saiid Zamani , an AI trainer and active real estate agent, to make it simple, practical, and real. Our goal is not to hype the tech or fear-monger about robots. We want to show how AI actually fits into everyday work and where the “human advantage” still wins every time. We talk about what AI is already changing, from toll booths disappearing to the way buyers search for homes on platforms like Homes.com, Zillow, and Redfin. Saiid explains why AI may replace certain tasks, but it does not replace trust, emotional intelligence, and the ability to read the room, which is the core of real estate and most relationship-driven businesses. We also break down how agents and small business owners can use AI to follow up faster, write clearer messages, and deliver more value without building a giant team. Then we get hands-on with tools: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Google NotebookLM. Saiid shares how he uses AI as a “thought partner,” including voice conversations to sharpen presentations and turn daily notes into bullet points and checklists. We also cover free vs paid plans, why limits matter when you use AI heavily, and the two guardrails we both care about: privacy and personalization settings.

Your name is a search result now, and your brand is either being built on purpose or built by accident. We talk with Rizzo “King Kongin” , a marketer and creator who turned a competitive personal energy into a brand and an energy drink, then sold the formulation while keeping the King Kongin identity as a long-term platform. We get into the real origin story: planking challenges, relentless repetition, and the decision to be everywhere with your message. Rizzo breaks down how Master P helped shape the blueprint , what it takes to earn access to rooms with major celebrities, and why “opportunity” is more like a box of puzzle pieces than a finished picture. If you care about entrepreneurial mindset, product marketing, and personal branding, this conversation stays grounded in action and consequences. Then we go where most people avoid: partnerships. We talk about how deals go sideways when roles, budgets, and expectations are not clear from day one. From there, we zoom into AI search, Gemini, YouTube, and short-form video tools, plus the practical reality that AI models learn your reputation from what you publish.

One torn-up knee can change a whole life, but only if you’re willing to look for the lesson instead of the loss. Sam Demma , Author of Empty Your Backpack, joins us to share how a serious soccer setback became the starting point for a decade of keynote speaking, service, and storytelling built on one principle: small, consistent actions. We dig into the moments that shaped Sam’s message , from picking up trash as a first “small action,” to a flight attendant who turned a paper cup into a phone stand just to help a stranger. That tiny act of kindness turned into a viral story with real-world impact, reminding us that the best leadership skills are often quiet, human, and repeatable. Sam also tells the pandemic-era “Be Someone’s Taco” story, a simple food delivery that became a symbol of hope, a kids book, and a surprising ripple effect in schools. Along the way, we talk practical tools for communication and personal growth: how to capture story moments in real time, why using someone’s name changes the entire tone of an interaction, and the “spilled coffee theory” for what comes out of us when life bumps us. We also get into what Sam sees in students today, especially fear of judgment and the need for someone to go first, plus what it looks like to build a team and buy back your time without losing the joy.

OUR GUEST THIS WEEK IS: Pete Heim, Realtor One in three buyers may be teaming up to buy a home, and that single stat raises a huge question: is co-buying the future of homeownership, or a shortcut that can blow up later? We dig into what co-buying actually means (non-married co-borrowers, friends, relatives, and partners), why it’s rising, and how it can turn rent money into a real estate investment when affordability is tight and inventory is thin. We also zoom out to what the 2026 housing market looks like beyond the headlines. We talk through National Association of Realtors data on home prices across metro areas, why interest rate shifts ripple through demand, and how the Northeast continues to surprise with pockets that stay competitive. Then we get specific about what we’re seeing in places like Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland : new construction popping up, retirees rethinking where they land, and the real draw of lower taxes and no sales tax. From there, we move into practical buyer strategy. We explain why a fully underwritten approval can beat a basic pre-approval, how offering a short post-settlement occupancy to the seller can make a financed offer feel less stressful, and why targeting listings that have been sitting for 20+ days can be a smarter path than chasing the hottest house on day one. We also unpack the wild equity story: homeowners are sitting on about $11 trillion in tappable home equity, and only a small slice has been accessed , which helps explain how some buyers compete like cash. If you want a clearer read on housing inventory, co-buying risk, cash buyer pressure, and real tactics that can win in a competitive market, hit play.

A family drives home from a swim meet thinking about Christmas plans and seconds later everything is unrecognizable. Our guest, John Ulsh , walks us through the head-on collision that nearly killed him and his entire family , the other driver’s death, and the recovery that followed: massive internal injuries, an induced coma, a nursing home stay, paralysis, and a long list of surgeries that kept coming for years. We also talk about the parts people don’t see when they hear a “survival story” headline: survivor’s guilt, chronic pain, the loneliness of nighttime in a facility, and the moment hope feels like it disappears. John shares a near-death experience he still can’t fully explain, then gets painfully honest about what finally helped him move forward, including a simple reason he could actually believe and a willingness to rebuild his identity instead of chasing his old life. One of the biggest pivots comes when his daughter tells him she misses her “old daddy.” That pushes John to take ownership of his rehab, find a new kind of training, and learn a powerful mindset shift: there is pain you can’t control and pain you can control, and controlled pain can become progress. From there, we get into resilience, self-advocacy in healthcare, why he’s fired doctors, how he built a personal “board of directors,” and the lessons behind his book The Upside of Down: A Survivor’s Guide to Turning Setbacks into Success. If you care about overcoming adversity, trauma recovery, chronic pain mindset, resilience training, and turning setbacks into fuel, you’ll get a lot out of this conversation.

We sit down with Mitchell Osmond of the Dad Nation Podcast and get brutally honest about what it means to be a present dad in a noisy world, where work, phones, and stress quietly steal the only thing we can’t earn back: time . We talk about the stats that reframe everything: how fast your time with your kids drops as they grow, and why that “one focused hour” each day can shape a child’s confidence for life. Mitchell breaks down the two questions kids ask under the surface, “Am I enough?” and “Do I have what it takes?” and how a father’s encouragement, belief, and consistent presence can keep them from searching for worth in all the wrong places. We also get into the father-daughter dynamic, including how the way we treat our wives becomes the blueprint our daughters normalize. Then we zoom out to marriage and communication, because strong families are built on strong partnerships. Mitchell shares a clear framework for what wives often need to feel secure: seen, heard, and safe, along with simple active listening tools that lower defensiveness and rebuild connection. We also unpack emotional disconnection, the quiet drift that damages relationships long before any big blowup.

Swiping has trained us to judge people like trading cards, then wonder why dating feels hollow. Brad sits down with Amberlei Ann Oates , the Founder and CEO of RadarQR , to talk about a bold alternative: build connection where chemistry actually lives, face to face, in public, with better tools to break the ice. Amberlei shares how being single in San Francisco pushed her to “flip the script” on modern online dating. Instead of spending hours swiping just to earn a first meeting, RadarQR helps you meet in the real world first and use a QR code profile to bridge the awkward moment safely. We get into why rejection fear holds so many people back, why men often feel frozen about approaching, and how authenticity shows up in the details a photo cannot capture like voice, humor, kindness, and the way you treat others. We also dig into how the app works: QR cards you can hand out, profiles with photos and videos, and a hotspot map where you can choose to check in and see who else is open to meeting people nearby. That opt-in visibility matters, because Amber brings a military intelligence lens to privacy and safety, explaining why sharing phone numbers or social accounts can expose far more personal information than most people realize. The conversation expands beyond dating into friendships, community, and networking at conferences, plus how local hotspots can benefit from real foot traffic instead of more screen time. If you want a dating app alternative that prioritizes real-world connection , safer social discovery, and mental health, you’ll want to hear this.

Most money advice tells you to grind harder, save more, and wait. We don’t buy it. Brad sits down with author and entrepreneur finance expert Garrett Gunderson to talk about a different target: financial independence, where cash flow covers your life and work becomes optional. Along the way, we get real about the cost of living on “someday,” and why building wealth should improve your quality of life now, not just your net worth later. Garrett shares what he learned studying generational wealth and the Rockefeller strategy, including the practical moves families can borrow even without billionaire money: trusts that carry instructions, life insurance used for liquidity and tax-efficient legacy planning, and a modern version of a family office where advisors actually coordinate. We also dig into the human side of wealth, like investing in heirs through family retreats, building shared rituals, and writing a family constitution in your own words so values travel with the assets. ( I LOVE THIS ) Then we take on retirement planning, 401(k)s, taxes, and the hidden drains Garrett calls the Four I’s: IRS, interest, investments, and insurance. The GE pension story is a sharp lesson in stability, sequence-of-returns risk, and what happens when greed replaces good structure. We also talk “investor DNA,” why taking bigger risks isn’t the same as getting better returns, and why investing in yourself is often the highest ROI move you can make. ( key take away ) If you’ve ever wondered how to create generational wealth, protect your assets, and still enjoy the life you’re building, this conversation gives you a clear starting point.

OUR Guest this Week: Rick Elmore *We apologize for the sound quality with this weeks guest* You know that split-second reaction when you spot a handwritten envelope in a pile of junk mail and bills? We’re chasing that moment of attention and what it means for modern marketing with Rick Elmore , former NFL defensive end and the founder and CEO of Simply Noted. Rick walks us through the real economics of the NFL, why “not for long” is more than a joke, and how an identity crisis after football pushed him into sales, an MBA, and eventually entrepreneurship. The turning point is surprisingly simple: handwritten notes get opened, remembered, and trusted, but almost nobody has the time to write them at scale. So Rick tested the idea, proved the response, then built the infrastructure to make it real, including custom handwriting robots that put actual pen on paper. We also get practical about scaling a self-funded business: production capacity, engineering costs, and the painful lesson that what gets you to a few million in revenue will not get you to the next level. Then we go full modern with direct mail tracking, QR code attribution, and Rick’s bullish take on AI for small business, including how he runs AI SDRs to book meetings. The big takeaway: as AI increases distance, relationship marketing and trust signals like handwritten mail become even more valuable.

One shot can freeze time and then speed your whole life up. Kris Jenkins , the Villanova guard who buried the legendary 4.7-second buzzer beater to win the 2016 national championship, joins us for a real, behind-the-scenes breakdown of what that moment felt like and why it wasn’t luck. We talk about the game’s momentum swings, the pressure of the last possession, and the instant he knew the ball was going in because the “work was already done.” From there, we zoom out to the part people forget: what happens after the highlight goes viral. Kris shares how quickly the fame hit, what it’s like waking up to major media attention, and how he kept his friendships and mindset steady when the world suddenly wanted photos and autographs . We also get into a wild layer of the story, facing his brother on the opposite side of the championship game, and how that changes the emotional weight of winning and losing. Kris also brings his perspective into today’s college sports reality, including NIL (Name, Image, Likeness). We unpack why athletes deserve to be paid, why the system can still go too far without guardrails, and why financial literacy and long-term thinking matter when money shows up early. He shares how he now uses these lessons in public speaking for athletes and organizations, focusing on leadership, dominant teams, finding your role, and meeting your moment.

Our Guest This WEEK: Jeremy Schreifels Most people don’t fail at podcasting because they lack talent, they fail because they pick the wrong topic and they can’t stay consistent long enough for trust to compound. That’s why this conversation with Jeremy Schreifels hit so hard for us. Jeremy is the executive producer and founder of Box Seven Media, and he brings a musician’s ear to podcast production, audiobook creation, and video content that actually connects. We get into the nuts and bolts of podcasting trends like video podcasting and why recording on a platform like Riverside gives you options later . Jeremy breaks down why a single strong episode can fuel your podcast marketing system with 35 to 40 pieces of repurposed content, something you simply can’t squeeze out of one blog post or one social post. We also talk about the real reason shows fade out after episode 8 and again after episode 21, and how passion and curiosity are the only sustainable fix. Then we go deep on audiobooks: why they’re life-changing for people who don’t love reading, why author-read audiobooks carry more emotion, and how listening at 1.2x speed can keep your attention locked in. Jeremy also shares a smart creator move: add bonus audio that never appears in print. We wrap with leadership ideas we keep thinking about, from “change your questions, change your growth” to the “peeps in your Jeep” lesson on surrounding yourself with the right people, plus Jeremy’s push for true royalty-free theme music so creators don’t get flagged.

His mom didn’t show up to a foreclosure auction to buy a building. She showed up to beg to stay. Then she raised her hand, outbid the bank, scraped together the money, and walked out a landlord. That true story is where Andy Henriquez built the message “Show Up For Your Life ” and it sets the tone for a conversation about courage, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to act before you feel ready. Andy and I also go deep on storytelling as a real world skill for business, leadership, coaching, and personal branding. We unpack why most people try to persuade with features and credentials, why nobody cares about a “human trophy case,” and how a well told story creates the fastest path to trust. If you’ve ever struggled to sell your service, lead a team, or even get people to listen, this is the practical framework you’ve been missing: connect before you sell, paint the destination, and make people feel the point. We also talk about authenticity in the AI age . As fake images, fake videos, and polished scripts flood the internet, real human connection becomes a competitive advantage. Andy explains why signature stories win, how to find yours through challenges and defining moments, and how to stop speaking from the mountaintop and start meeting people in the valley where they actually live. If you want your message to land, your content to feel real, and your audience to lean in, press play now.
