Episode 47: The Heart of Humanity with NFL Legend Nick Lowery “Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart.” – Native American proverb Nick Lowery is a philanthropist and Hall of Fame athlete, but his entry into the NFL was anything but smooth. Nick was released or rejected 11 times by eight NFL teams before finally given a chance by the Chiefs who, as history proves, made a hell of a return on their investment. Retiring after 18 seasons in the NFL, Nick is widely regarded as the most valuable kicker of all time, achieving records for most field goals in NFL history, most accurate field-goal kicker in NFL history, and all-time leading point scorer for the Chiefs. But Nick is far from the athlete stereotype you might imagine. He attended Harvard University where he graduated with a Masters degree from the Kennedy School of Government. Among his extraordinary list of accomplishments, Nick has: served three US Presidents as an advisor on youth and drug policy in the White House; received the most prestigious humanitarian award an NFL player can receive; and worked tirelessly to equip the next generation with everything they need to thrive. Among his philanthropic endeavors, Nick is founder of Champions for the Homeless, the Nick Lowery Youth Foundation, and has run leadership programs for Native American youth for 20+ years. In recognition of his efforts, Nick has been featured in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and on David Letterman, and in two feature films. We cover a LOT of ground in this episode. Nick will share: • His secret process to becoming the most accurate kicker in NFL history; • How we can help underserved populations, including Native American communities and the homeless; • The exciting research on how CBD can help restore brain function; • How to dust yourself off from failure; and • A whole lot more!

Episode 45: Pain, Passion and Profit with Dr. Steve Sudell “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” – Benjamin Franklin We've got an entrepreneurial superstar joining us on the show today! Our guest will reveal his secrets to: Creating products that people love Raising $1+ million through crowdfunding, and Generating multiple 7-figure exits. That's right, he's done a LOT, despite still only being in his 30s.  Dr. Steve Sudell received his doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2009, and in an accomplished career he’s made it his mission to find non-invasive solutions to get people back to doing what they love. In 2015, he co-founded StretchLab, a revolutionary assisted-stretching facility that helps individuals improve their overall flexibility and well-being through stretching. Steve created the full range of stretching protocols that are still in use today, and also trained hundreds of practitioners – known as “flexologists” – in the process. With Steve’s expertise, StretchLab went from one location to more than 200 in less than four years. In 2019, Steve exited the company in a seven-figure deal. After watching his younger sister battle leukemia and suffer from extreme pain, Steve knew there were a lot more people who needed help. In 2017, to help the millions of people who suffer from chronic neck pain, he created the Neck Hammock. It arrived as the most affordable, portable, and effective ‘at home’ neck pain solution on the market. To fund the project, he launched two crowdfunding campaigns simultaneously that raised USD $1.6 million from 20,000+ backers, and landed in the top 1% of all Kickstarter campaigns. Since then, the Neck Hammock has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, The Today Show, Forbes, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. After grossing more than USD $20 million in sales, Steve had another seven-figure exit in January 2021. We cover a lot of ground in this one! You'll learn how to make your health a priority (no matter how hectic your schedule is), when it's time to exit your passion project, and exactly what it takes to make it in the business world in 2021. And remember, a little inspiration at the right time can completely change the trajectory of someone’s life, so if there’s a friend who needs to check out this interview, share it with them now.

“No day is so bad it can’t be fixed with a nap.” — Carrie Snow Today, we sit down with the world’s foremost authority on sleep. Dr Michael Breus is a 3x bestselling author, clinical psychologist, and sleep educator. He has appeared all over television, including Oprah, The Today Show, and on The Dr Oz show more than 40 times. Dr Breus is also a regular contributor to major publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. When he’s not doing media appearances, Dr Breus works with some of the most successful individuals on the planet who want to perform at their peak with as little sleep as possible. We spend about 30% of our time asleep, which adds up to almost 3,000 hours each year on a single activity, yet when we think about peak performance, we rarely think about ‘sleep’ as an urgent priority to fix. In this interview, we’ll go through: A five-point plan to improve your sleep right now The latest hacks in sleep science to help you perform at your best How people with PTSD and depression can sleep better The best way to wake up energized And a whole lot more! As we get started, remember the right bit of inspiration can completely transform someone’s life, so if there’s someone you know who needs to hear this – and I’m sure there is, since lack of quality sleep is a dangerous side effect of the stressful world we’re in today – share it with them right now.

Episode 42: Fight for Every Breath with Marcus Smith “The more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.” – Norman Schwarzkopf On this show I like to bring you the real mindset masters, and today we’ve got an absolute superstar, Marcus Smith, who’s been through more wars than most. Marcus is an entrepreneur, an extreme athlete, and a performance coach. Based in Dubai, he’s the founder of InnerFight, which helps everyone – from kids to corporate clients – unlock their peak performance, as well as owner of Smith St Paleo, which provides paleo food offerings to help people make better nutrition decisions. Marcus is fit, and I mean FIT. At age 18, he started playing professional rugby, making it to the 2009 Rugby Sevens World Cup. Since then, he’s completed pretty much anything with “ultra” in its name, including: the Marathon des Sables, a six-day ultramarathon through the Sahara Desert known as “the toughest foot race on Earth”; a 230km (143 mile) self-supported ultramarathon across Kenya; and a footrace on the Auvergne volcanoes in France. In February 2018, while training to set a world record in ultra-cycling, Marcus was hit by a truck, with the impact smashing him into a brick wall. But he stared death right in the face and said, “Not today.” Rather than focus on what he lost, Marcus decided to create a documentary ‘Fight for Every Breath’ where he details his experience and his journey back to full health.  Just nine months after the accident, Marcus completed not one, not two, but 30 MARATHONS … IN 30 DAYS! In this episode, we’re going to talk with Marcus about: The secrets to his extraordinary self-discipline The accident that almost killed him (and how he came to terms with his trauma) The darkest moments of his recovery What you can do for supreme motivation each day; and How to inspire unwavering self-discipline in others.  Strap yourself in.
