"Why did you do all of this work, you don't even know if you're going to be working with me" - A story of moxie and hard work with Jayson Siano

What does it take to become the undeniable, number one person in your industry...? That's exactly what Jayson Siano of Sabre Advisors did in the commercial real estate game. Jay helped launch the growth of the European Wax Center, Dry Bar, Starbucks, Chipotle, Orange Theory, Solid Core Pilates, and Stop N Shop grocery stores (to name a handful of his clients). This is not a story of immediate success. Jay not only had to overcome a drinking problem to achieve his success, but he credits his problems with alcohol with some of what allowed him to work so hard and take so much stress in his career. This is a wild interview and you're going to love it. Find Jay on instagram at @jaysonsiano

Nutrition is so simple it's complicated. Lauren Papanos is a functional medicine certified, RD who believes that the overwhelming majority of hormone replacement therapy could be eliminated through diet and supplementation.

If you've heard Rachel Scheer on another podcast I promise you this, you have not heard her talk about what we discuss on today's episode, and you're going to want to tune in.

Hard questions about the merits of diversity efforts in the workplace, Ebenezer Samuel, Fitness Directos, Men's Health Magazine

I recently attended an event called "Strength in Diversity" that my friend, Ebenezer Samuel hosted on behalf of Men's Health Magazine. I was skeptical at first because I rarely see diversity efforts that I believe make companies or services better. Typically what I see is virtue signaling, and getting minority faces into content to try an attract business from more people who look like them. When it comes to social causes I believe the most virtuous social cause is doing world class work. It doesn't matter what the people who do that work look like, as long as the effort is always on doing the best work. What was refreshing about the Strength in Diversity initiative is that there are no handouts. It's a mentorship approach to lifting people who come from marginalized communities. And that I can get behind. Today I ask Ebenezer the hard questions in regards to the relevance, merit, and future of diversity efforts in the work place.
