Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Trevor Blattner is the founder of Redefining the Top 1%. He promotes the concept of Shepherd Leadership—a modern form of leadership that encourages leaders of all sorts to guide, support, and uplift their people. Shepherd Leadership is an enlightened approach that Trevor developed over 20 years of research, coaching, and expertise. It is a model that breaks free of the antiquated and regressive top-down style of leadership that has been seen for years as the only standard of leadership worth adopting. From leading in the corporate and military world to leading in our day-to-day lives, Trevor does a deep dive into the qualities that exemplify the best leaders in the modern world. These qualities include embracing radical responsibility, recognizing and optimizing your higher self, managing your ego and embracing authentic humility, strategically designing your reality, committing to mastery, being still and know, and adopting a growth mindset.   Episode Resources: Apply for your VA Home Loan in as little as 5 minutes at HeroLoan.com  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/532

Today’s conversation is a sobering deep dive into the highly controversial but crucial subject that is the COVID-19 vaccine, featuring Jonathan Baktari MD. Dr. Baktari is the CEO of e7 Health, a Las Vegas-based company focused on preventative health and wellness. He kicks off the conversation with a high-level explanation of exactly what a vaccine is. The goal of a vaccine, he says, is to take advantage of the immune system’s strengths by “tricking” the body. The body is injected with a portion of a germ, whether that germ is a virus or bacteria. The dose is small enough to get the body to detect the germ, thereby training the immune system to become efficient at fighting it while minimizing the damage it could have done to the body if the germ were “whole”. Dr. Baktari and Chase go on to unpack the trickiest questions the world is now faced with as in navigating the ever-evolving COVID-19 crisis—from how to interpret official data, to the issue of personal freedom versus the common good, to the under-addressed and overlooked public health issue that is a lack of education on prevention.   Follow Jonathan @baktarimd Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on your entire first purchase from Legion Athletics with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.legionathletics.com  Save 15% on Sugarbreak with code CHASE at http://sugarbreak.com/chase  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/530

Science shows us that sex and intimacy are some of the most bonding human experiences of our lives. So… what happens when religion gets thrown into the mix? Kat Harris is here to have an eye-opening discussion about boundaries, consent, monogamy, infidelity, shame, and most prominently, waiting until marriage to have sex. After growing up in the south as a Christian in the peak of the purity movement, Kat moved to New York City and noticed that her thoughts about sex and singleness began to change. She began to question the word of God and why she’d been waiting until marriage to have sex. As more and more women of faith become burdened with sexual shame, feeling unequipped to confidently explore both the dating world and the world of singleness, Kat is on a mission to free them of their shackles and help them discover their own sexual freedom. Listen in to gain insight into her journey with dating, desire, and sex, and to learn if (after all her research and inquisition) she’s still waiting until marriage.   Follow Kat @therefinedwoman Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on Pumpkin Spice Gold from Organifi at http://organifi.com/everforward Save 15% on Stabilize from Sugarbreak at http://sugarbreak.com/chase  Get Kat's book Sexless in the City from Amazon at https://amzn.to/2VWoJfK 

How we organize our day, the tasks we do at night, our bedtime routine, and our bedding all impact the quality of our sleep.  We all know a person (or two or three) who brag about being able to run on 3-4 hours of sleep… but why? For Susana Saeliu, sleep is the foundation of her day… and for good reasons! “If I get a good night’s sleep, I perform best the next day and I want to be the best version of myself every day,” she says. Do you agree? Susana is an adrenaline junkie, but she also values rest and relaxation. As an entrepreneur, car racing enthusiast, and EDM fan, she’s no stranger to a fast-paced life of excitement. Though, to be able to keep up with such a demanding life, you need high-quality sleep and bedding that’s perfect for you.  Thus, Pluto Pillow, the first and only custom sleep pillow that’s crafted to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like, was born.    Follow Pluto @plutopillow Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on ZEN from Cured Nutrition with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.curednutrition.com Save 10% on any device from Somavedic with code EVERFORWARD at https://somavedic.com  Learn more about Pluto Pillow and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/526

The pandemic, political disagreements, war… there are so many sources of separation and loneliness in the world. That’s why, now more than ever, we must shed light on the importance of human connection, attunement, and cultivating presence within ourselves as well as with others. Meaningful connection is an innate, primal need from the time we’re born to the time we return to the dirt of the Earth.  When we find that connection, we enter a flow state and even our brain waves become synchronized. Imagine the immense change and growth we could experience if we put more energy into connecting with ourselves and one another! Dr. Edward Bodkin and Ashley Pallathra have co-authored the insightful book, Missing Each Other, that delves into the idea that learning about yourself makes it easier to connect with others. Listen in as they share glorious pieces of wisdom about self-awareness, human connection, and attunement.   Follow Ashley @ashleypallathra Follow Dr. Bodkin @tedbrodkinmd Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on RISE from Cured Nutrition with code EVERFORWARD at CuredNutrition.com Save 15% on instant organic coffee from Strong Coffee Company with code CHASE at StrongCoffeeCompany.com Join the Ever Forward Book club at bit.ly/efbookclub  Get Ashley and Ed's book Missing Each Other at https://amzn.to/3DVPXUV  Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/523
