This week, Ash is joined by Chase Chewning, former military intelligence specialist, wellness entrepreneur, and host of Ever Forward Radio, for an inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what it really means to live with purpose. After a career-ending injury shifted his trajectory, Chase transformed his path from the military to the world of health, fitness, and entrepreneurship, building a podcast that has reached over 7 million downloads. He opens up about the lessons he’s learned along the way, from raising a trilingual son with his Iranian American wife to balancing the ever-evolving demands of fatherhood, wellness, and creative entrepreneurship. His story is one of adaptability and grit, showing how unexpected challenges can spark entirely new opportunities.

Together, Ash and Chase explore the power of storytelling in both business and life, unpacking the ways podcasting blends preparation with instinct and how staying authentic in a crowded space creates lasting impact. They also dive deep into wellness, discussing how Chase shifted from fear-driven training due to old injuries into a more balanced lifestyle that embraces yoga, mobility, meditation, and sleep as non-negotiables. With candid reflections on burnout, creative growth, and humanizing content, Chase shares how entrepreneurs can expand their reach while remaining grounded in their values.
