Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Having been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 2 at the age of 20, Scout Sobel dropped out of college, couldn’t keep a job, and struggled to function as a part of society.  It wasn’t until she found entrepreneurship a few years later that she found a purpose and a drive to be productive, creative, and take control of her life.  Now, Scout Sobel is the Author of The Emotional Entrepreneur, Host of the Okay Sis Podcast, and Founder of Scout’s Agency. Most of all, she’s an advocate for people, especially women, to persevere in building the business of their wildest dreams, despite the hardships, challenges, or mental illness they experience. Many people fear entrepreneurship not because of a lack of resources, funding, or education, but because they’re afraid to put themselves out there and start the journey.

With all the stress and overstimulation we experience as humans in the 21st century, it’s becoming more and more difficult for us to exist and thrive in a state of peace and mindfulness.  But what if we could cultivate our innate parasympathetic nervous system, or the “rest and digest” state, to bring more ease, well-being, love, and connection into our daily lives?  Well, we can!

Since pursuing mind, body, and soul wellness, Robbie’s life completely changed and he’s now been sober for almost 6 years.  From hitting rock bottom to becoming the Co-Founder and CEO of Inward Breathwork, Robbie Bent is on a mission to help others reach optimal health and gain control of their emotions through breathwork, meditation, hot and cold therapy, and more.  “If you’re listening and need a break… this is it and it works for anybody,” Robbie says.   Follow Robbie @inwardbreathwork Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 10% on any Somavedic device with code EVERFORWARD at https://somavedic.com Save 30% on your first purchase of Brami Snacks with code EVERFORWARD30 at https://bramisnacks.com  Learn more about Inward Breathwork and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/520 

Andrea Owen is a life-coach who helps high-achieving women let go of perfectionism, control, and isolation and choose courage and confidence instead. She is known for her signature platform, “Your Kick-Ass Life”, which began in 2008 as a blog on all things women’s empowerment, before expanding it into a suite of educational tools such as podcasts and books. Andrea is the author of 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life (2013), How to Stop Feeling Like Sh*t (2018), and, most recently, Make Some Noise: Speak Your Mind and Own Your Strength (2021). Listen in as Andrea talks about the anger that motivated her to write Make Some Noise—driven by her belief that there is still so much to do in the realm of women’s empowerment in the 2020s, and that true change begins when women gain the courage to make some noise at the individual level. She also gives her thoughts on what men can do to contribute to this cultural shift and why different lived experiences between males and females can actually serve as a bridge rather than a divide towards equality.   Follow Andrea @heyandreaowen Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on Sugarbreak with code CHASE at http://sugarbreak.com/chase  Join the Ever Forward Book Club http://bit.ly/efbookclub  Learn more about Andrea and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/519 

When actress Noel Elie was diagnosed with Lyme disease, she decided not to rely on mainstream medicine but instead opted to utilize alternative treatment modalities, beginning with plant therapy. For Noel, her very first introduction to plant medicine through microdosing psilocybin and ayahuasca served as an amazing gateway into her journey toward holistic healing. “I don’t look at it as being defiant; I look at it as being curious,” says Noel, speaking on her decision to look the other way despite her doctors’ advice at the outset of her diagnosis. Noel describes the painful letting-go process that followed when she realized that she and her husband had to find a new home after testing the house for mold, and how this process helped her become more intentional about her health and possessions. Finally, Noel touches on the power of intuition and how to surrender yourself to it when faced with a decision.   Follow Noel @noel_elie Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode Resources: Save 10% on any Somavedic device with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.somavedic.com  Somavedic and HRV study Somavedic Medic and its effects on HRV (summary on page 35) Save 30% on your first order of Brami Snacks with code EVERFORWARD30 at https://bramisnacks.com  Learn more about Noel and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/518 

Joe Percoco is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Titan, which he refers to as “a premier investment firm, but for everyone.” Titan is Joe’s response to Wall Street’s reputation for catering almost exclusively to the ultra-wealthy. His team is dedicated to the long-term growth of investors’ capital by following their “time-tested investment philosophy: identifying the rare species of stocks known as “compounders” and holding on tight.” Listen in as Joe offers some high-level wisdom on the world of finance and why it’s crucial to think like an owner instead of a gambler in the investment world. Asked about the necessity of risk in the investment world, Joe refers to the well-known saying: “Ships weren’t meant to stay in the harbor.” Hard-earned cash is not meant to be stuffed under your bed. Anybody who wants to grow their wealth has to take risks in the market. In fact, adopting this attitude toward investing forges a mindset that sees opportunity even in a downturn in the economy. It is a mindset that gets you to say, “Let’s deploy every ship we’ve got ashore, because this is an amazing time to buy and invest.” Joe also explains Titan’s unique vision-mission as an investment firm and his expectations for the future of the industry.   Follow Joe @jpercoco Follow Titan @titanvest Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Get your annual Swell Score membership for only $59 with checkout code EVERFORWARD at https://www.theswellscore.com  Save 15% on Sugarbreak with code CHASE at https://www.sugarbreak.com/chase  Learn more about Titan and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/517 

Ryan Kelley is the Founder and President of The Home Loan Expert, which he built from the ground-up, with zero capital, in the middle of the Great Recession in 2008. Today, the company is one of the fastest-growing direct mortgage lenders in the country. Asked how he did it, Ryan says that, from the very beginning he simply put his focus on anything but profit and never taking his foot off the gas, even as he began to experience growth. In an industry typically characterized by greed, The Home Loan Expert found tremendous success by running in the opposite direction and paying it forward. Ryan speaks on the initiatives that fuel his passion for what he does. His love for the outdoors inspired him to establish The Keep Climbing Foundation, which initially came from an idea between him and his friends to climb mountains to raise money for childhood cancer. Today, the foundation supports a variety of causes that are in need of financial support and awareness. Having missed out on the opportunity to serve in the military, Ryan was driven to create Hero Loan, a program that shortens the turnaround time to complete a VA home loan—from up to 60 days down to as little as 14 days.   Follow Ryan @thehomeloanexpert Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on your entire first purchase of Legion Athletics with code EVERFORWARD at https://legionathletics.com  Learn more about Ryan and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/516 

For transgender activist Precious Brady-Davis, her turning point came when she realized that she had to love herself first before she would be able to open her heart and attract those who could truly love her. “People can’t give you what you don’t have.”, she says. Having grown up in the Pentecostal faith, she recalls her seemingly endless struggle with being othered by her own religious circle for being a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid. But the same “neglect, instability, and abandonment” that she experienced daily as a child only fueled her determination to find acceptance—even if it meant stepping away from her faith community. Her journey led her to become what she is today: “A trans woman fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious.” She lives with her husband Myles—who is transmasculine—and infant daughter Zayn. In July 2021, Precious released her memoir, I Have Always Been Me, in which she looks back on 35 years that began with immense trauma, and how she was able to turn it all around.   Follow Precious @preciousbradydavis Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode Resources: Save 15% on Sugarbreak with checkout code CHASE at https://www.sugarbreak.com/chase  Learn more about Precious and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/515

In this solo episode, Chase breaks down the exact protocol and the results he experienced after one whole month of using psilocybin. Chase’s first experience with psychedelics began in the Fall of 2020. But medicinal mushrooms have been a vital part of his nutritional routine for half a decade prior dipping into the hallucinogenic variety. This is thanks in large part to Shawn Stevenson of The Model Health Show who promoted the scientifically proven wonders of lion’s mane, reishi, and cordyceps, among other varieties of functional mushrooms. Listen in as Chase dives deep into his two-day-on, one-day-off microdosing schedule, the exact ingredients each dose consisted of, and the impact of this protocol to his physiological and mental faculties. He describes the transformational effects of the experience and explains how he tracked the physiological changes that took place over time, which included a staggering 40% increase in HRV!   Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 20% on Organifi at http://organifi.com/everforward  Get your free WHOOP 3.0 activity tracker and save $30 off of your new membership at http://join.whoop.com/everforward  Learn more and get complete show notes at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/513
