In today’s episode, I sit down with Bill Reed, CEO of Herman Science and a New York Times bestselling author with a background as a U.S. Navy diver and Harvard-trained neuroscientist. We break down why trust and stress are the two most overlooked metrics driving performance, engagement, and even cybersecurity risk. Bill explains how predictive behavior analytics can help companies identify high-risk employees before costly mistakes happen, and why understanding the individual brain profiles of team members is the future of leadership.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Vincent La Iacona, a scientist-turned-entrepreneur who’s challenging everything we think we know about oral care. After years working inside the industry, he realized dentists often focus too narrowly on brushing and flossing, ignoring the broader connection between oral health and whole-body wellness. Vincent breaks down how his company Aura Flora combines hyaluronic acid, microbiome-balancing prebiotics and postbiotics, and innovative flavors like yuzu-peppermint to create a full-mouth system that supports gut, brain, and sleep health. We also get into the leadership shift required to move from big corporate structures to fast-moving startups and what it takes to keep learning as a CEO.…

Helping Kids Rewrite Their Inner Voice 19:38

19:38

In today’s episode, I sit down with Mark Papadas, author, coach, and founder of I AM 4 Kids, to talk about building self-identity early in life. After years of coaching adults, Mark realized real change starts with kids, teaching them to control their own "I Am" statements before negative self-talk takes root. We break down how children pick up damaging beliefs without anyone intentionally teaching them, and why phrases like "I'm fat" or "I'm stupid" become internalized far too young. Mark shares how persistence, curiosity, and ingenuity come naturally to kids, and how keeping those traits alive can transform their confidence for life. His work combines entertainment, education, and family coaching to rewire how kids view themselves.…

Small Habits, Big Outcomes: How Consistency Creates Lasting Success 37:35

منذ 4 أيام37:35

37:35

In this episode, I talk about the real engine behind sustainable success: consistency. It’s not about the big wins—it’s about the small things we do every single day when no one’s watching. I share how routines, mindset, and even how you start and end your day can shape everything in between. From embracing the tasks you don't love to staying committed through slow progress, I break down how discipline creates results that compound over time. The truth is, your habits reflect your priorities—so if you want to change your life, start by changing what you repeat. Small hinges swing big doors.

In today’s episode, I explain how I maintain energy, peace, and purpose by limiting interference with what already flows through all of us. I talk about why consistency beats intensity, how two minutes a day shapes your subconscious more than two hours once a week, and what it really means to invest in yourself instead of sacrificing. I share the mindset that carried me through loss and recovery, the parenting habit that rewired my relationship with my kids, and why receiving is just another form of giving. It all comes back to asking for help, being intentional with time, and remembering you’re part of something infinite.…

We talk about his invention of a virtually invisible, self-charging tracking device that attaches to a molar, providing continuous safety for children, the elderly, and those with memory care needs. Nicholas explains how this tiny device resists tampering, never needs charging docks, and can store critical medical information for first responders. We explore the challenges of scaling such a cutting-edge product while technology rapidly evolves, and why his solution could redefine how we approach personal safety, prevention, and recovery.…

I explain how I prioritize decisions using relativity, association, and what feeds me, even when it drains me. From funding pitches to spiritual alignment, I walk through how to build something meaningful in both the practical and infinite sense, and why asking “for the sake of what?” can reframe your purpose, guide your energy, and keep you grounded.…

In this episode, I share why real growth takes time—and why that’s a good thing. Trusting the process isn’t about sitting back and hoping for the best. It’s about showing up every day with purpose, especially when the outcome isn’t clear. I talk about how to stay consistent when progress feels slow, how surrender can actually create more space for success, and why uncertainty is often where the best opportunities begin.

In today’s episode, I share the mindset shift that turned frustration into fuel and how a simple mental trick I call the Michael Jordan rule helps me show up when I don’t feel like it. I talk about learning to love what I once hated, redefining abundance by receiving fully, and the importance of asking for what you want without guilt or hesitation. I reflect on why marrying my wife was the best decision I ever made, the pride I feel working alongside my daughter, and how giving only works when you allow others to give to you. Abundance is not a finish line. It is a loop.…
