120. How to Win 2023 ... Even If You Started the Year Playing Defense 🎉 | Win the Day Wednesday with James Whittaker (Win the Day podcast)
This time last year was one of the most difficult periods in my entire life...
It wasn't just testing positive to covid on the day my wife was due to give birth (true story), it was the overwhelming burden of unrealistic expectations, an infant and toddler with significant sleep and health challenges, and being spread thin with business commitments.
I'm on day 550 of a consecutive daily journal and it's quite a gripping read to see what we were faced with at this time last year!
But 2023 is a completely different story...
I'm physically close to the healthiest I've ever been, I'm clearer on the professional mission than ever before, and I spent an entire week on my personal goal-setting to develop the ultimate plan.
Heck, even the kids are sleeping through the night.
I'm starting 2023 on offense. But the memories from last year are real, raw, and deep. That's why I wanted to record a podcast to help YOU make this your best year yet ... even if you're starting the year on defense, like I did in 2022.
It's also the first ever LIVE recording of the Win the Day podcast [click here for the video episode]!

115. Build a Healthier Generation with Angela Sutherland (founder, Yumi) 🍏 | Win the Day® with James Whittaker
“The most difficult thing is the decision to act; the rest is merely tenacity.” — Amelia Earhart
If you’re a parent, you’ll know how difficult it can be to get healthy food for your children, especially with so much deception in the food industry. But what you may not know is that scientists consider nutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life to be the most important environmental factor in human development.
Pregnant with her second child — and unhappy with the food options available for her first baby — Angela and her co-founder, Evelyn Rusli, set out to do something about it. In 2015, they launched Yumi with a mission to build a healthier generation.
Today, they’ve raised more than $70 million in funding and their investors include the founders of Uber, Harry’s, and Warby Parker, as well as celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Gabrielle Union. Public fans of Yumi include Jessica Alba, Gigi Hadid, and Molly Sims. Focused on empowering women, Yumi’s Series B funding round also brought in 70 new women investors and women-led firms.
In this episode:
Balancing kids with career
Toughest moments along the way
The best lessons from Angela's entrepreneurial journey, and
How she built Yumi into the powerhouse it is today.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Angela Sutherland!

113. Accelerated Intelligence with Shaahin Cheyene 🚀 | Win the Day® with James Whittaker
“Champions don't show up to get everything they want; they show up to give everything they have.” — Alexander den Heijer
After fearing for their lives during the Iranian Revolution of 1978, Shaahin Cheyene’s family fled the country – leaving everything behind – and eventually found a new home in Los Angeles, California.
At 15 years old, Shaahin left home with nothing but the clothes on his back. A few short years later, he kickstarted the “smart drug” movement and was at the helm of a business empire that spanned the globe and would bring in more than $1 billion in revenue by his 20th birthday.
The product? “Herbal Ecstacy”, a LEGAL party drug, that took the music world by storm – and caught the fierce attention of disgruntled drug dealers, big pharma, and of course federal authorities.
Today, he is the Founder / CEO of Accelerated Intelligence, which provides supplements, nutrition, and research to support optimal brain health and well-being.
He’s also a major ‘Fulfillment by Amazon’ seller, the lead coach at Amazon Mastery where he teaches entrepreneurs how to crush it on the Amazon platform, and is regarded as one of the leading global minds on what’s next in e-commerce, Amazon, and the internet.
Let’s WIN THE DAY with Shaahin Cheyene!

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” — Jackie Robinson
Joshua Kalinowski is a former pro baseball player who empowers people to live a life of exceptional impact, influence, and faith.
His athletic career, which culminated in playing for the Colorado Rockies MLB team, taught him how taking risks, being disciplined, and committing to a larger vision all helped overcome short-term adversity and make incremental progress on your dreams.
