Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Why does personal development, coaching, self-mastery, etc. seem to be so intense and even extreme sometimes? Can't we have fun along the way to optimizing our life? Jason Goldberg thinks so, and in fact he makes sure you laugh just as much as you reflect on your inner self so as to create your ideal outer world. After spending over a decade in a successful information technology career, he left the corporate world to launch an award-winning transportation start-up followed by cofounding and serving as CEO for a tech firm in partnership with NASA to commercialize technology from the space shuttle program. He now focuses all of his humor, experience and enthusiasm on being of deep service to inspiring individuals from pro-surfers to CEOs, and countless organizations.   Follow Jason @thejasongoldberg Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% on Strong Coffee at https://strongcoffeecompany.com/?ref=idvqn2vvx5y Get Jason's book Prison Break: Vanquish the Victim, Own Your Obstacles, and Lead Your Life at https://getprisonbreak.com/everforward

How we rise to those occasions and the attitude we have towards them are perhaps the two most determining factors in whether they build us up or tear us down.

"Humans need others to survive. Regardless of one’s sex, country or culture of origin, age or economic background, social connection is crucial to human development, health, and survival." This quote could not be more true than now as the entire world continues to endure a new norm of social distancing, separation from loved ones, and adopting to the aftermath of the COVID-19 global pandemic. But what are the effects perhaps that have gone unnoticed? What effects have there already been on our quality of life, our mental health, etc.? In this episode I discuss recent clinical evidence, studies, and personal experiences about the healing power of human connection.    Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Save 15% at www.paleovalley.com/everforward and enjoy their delicious and nutritious 100% grass-fed beef sticks.

You are not the same person as anyone else. So why should your diet or even your approach to healthcare be the same as otehrs? Guest John O'Connor, co-founder of Gene Food, is a successful entrepreneur but even more successful human being because he has tapped into the ability to more completely understand how his unique body operates and how to optimize it to his custom needs, wants, and goals. In this epsiode, John shares the science behind why biological data collection can be both extremely useful but also somewhat dangerous when digging too deep into biohacking, how to truly understand this human experience so as to optimize it, and how science can save us from the vanity culture of health and wellness when it comes to a life of vitality and longevity. Also, tune in to the second half for John's insight into the current state of affairs for the wellness industry, brick-and-mortar as well as e-commerce and the challenges both are facing in 2020.   Follow John and Gene Food @genefood Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Get your free 30-day trial of Audible at www.audibletrial.com/everforward Loonshots by Safi Bahcall https://amzn.to/37Ha2As  Limitless by Jim Kwik https://amzn.to/3kAfCIQ   Learn more about Gene Food GeneFood Podcast Launch, grow, and monetize your podcast through the help of Chase's podcasting courses at www.OperationPodcast.com and save 60% on Level 201 with checkout code EVERFORWARD60

It was exciting and fun, and I learned a lot. Then when I was switching funds and I had to sit out my non-compete clause, I started getting involved in some entrepreneurial stuff and one thing led to another. One of the ideas I had was Forme, and I started to get really excited about it, and it got to the point where it became the only thing I was doing. I moved back to California, which is where I was raised. I spent time in San Francisco, which is where a lot of our engineers are, and in LA, which is where all of our business and content and marketing is based. It’s a super exciting time to now be public with it after four years and I’m excited for consumers to be able to experience what we’ve created."
