    #309 Luke Mickelson Shares the Tiny Moment That Changed Millions of Lives

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Luke Mickelson to explore how one small act of kindness can grow into a global movement that changes lives. What started as a simple volunteer project to build a bed for a child in need became Sleep in Heavenly Peace, an international nonprofit ensuring that no child has to sleep on the floor. Luke shares the personal experiences that shaped his passion for service, from growing up in a single-parent household supported by a caring community to discovering that children in his own hometown were living without one of life's most basic necessities. Those moments inspired him to stop waiting for someone else to solve the problem and take the first step himself. The conversation explores what it takes to build a purpose-driven organization without losing sight of its mission. Luke discusses servant leadership, scaling through volunteers, empowering communities, overcoming founder syndrome, and why meaningful impact is created by focusing on people rather than processes alone. A defining moment in the episode is Luke's Green Pill experience after delivering a handmade bed to a six-year-old girl whose overwhelming joy forever changed his perspective. In that instant, he realized he wasn't simply building beds. He was restoring dignity, security, hope, and opportunity for children and their families. At its core, this episode is about purpose, compassion, and the courage to act. Luke's story is a powerful reminder that extraordinary change rarely begins with a grand vision. It starts with one person choosing to solve one problem, trusting that small acts of service can create a lasting legacy. About The Guest Luke Mickelson is the founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP), the world's largest volunteer-led bed-building charity dedicated to ensuring that no child sleeps on the floor. Since launching the organization in 2012, he has helped grow it into a global movement with more than 440 chapters, mobilizing over one million volunteers and delivering hundreds of thousands of beds to children in need. His work has earned international recognition, including being named a CNN Hero, and he regularly speaks to organizations about leadership, purpose, and community impact. Before founding SHP, Luke built a successful career in sales and entrepreneurship while raising his family in Idaho. Inspired by his own upbringing in a community that supported his single-parent household, he turned a simple service project into a mission that has transformed lives around the world. Today, he continues to inspire individuals, businesses, and communities to discover that lasting impact begins when ordinary people choose to take action.  Quotes   12:38 - The joy of service, the joy of giving back, to have them appreciate the things they had in life, like a bed.   27:23 - To act on the tiny moments and the continuous practice of acting on tiny moments is what helps us reach the passion and ultimately the purpose of what we want to do in life.  35:03 - It's very important, especially nowadays, that organizations look for meaningful philanthropy efforts, initiatives, and make sure that their employees understand that they not only care, but they're actually doing something about it. And I love it. What a great world we live in. 39:03 - I just connect the dots with the people that want to help and the people that have time or resources to help.

    #308 How Bron Watson Turned Cancer Into a New Life Mission

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Bron Watson to unpack the difference between relentless hustle and true resilience. With over 30 years of experience across nursing, education, and business, Bron shares how her life took an unexpected turn after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2018, followed by a second incurable blood cancer diagnosis in 2023. What followed was not surrender, but a complete redefinition of how she approached business, health, and life itself. Bron opens up about the moment she looked at herself in the mirror during chemotherapy and realized the business she had built was costing her more than she could afford to lose. That moment became her Green Pill turning point, forcing her to shut down a thriving mentoring business and rebuild from a place of healing instead of hustle. She explains why resilience is not about pushing harder, but about learning when to bend, pause, and adapt. The conversation explores practical tools for navigating crisis, setting boundaries, protecting energy, and making aligned decisions without guilt. Bron shares her powerful philosophy of “be where your feet are,” a simple but life-changing reminder to stay present, name your emotions, and focus only on what you can control. At its core, this episode is about healing, self-awareness, and choosing peace over pressure. Bron’s story is a powerful reminder that success means nothing if it costs you your health, and that sometimes the strongest thing you can do is slow down. About The Guest Bron Watson is a business strategist, resilience mentor, and founder of The Serenity Project, a platform dedicated to helping individuals and business owners navigate adversity with clarity, courage, and sustainable systems. With a background spanning over three decades in nursing, education, and digital business, she brings a unique blend of practical strategy and emotional intelligence to her work. After surviving breast cancer and now living with an incurable blood cancer in remission, Bron has transformed her personal battles into a mission to support others through crisis, burnout, and life-altering challenges. Through her coaching, speaking, and upcoming book, she teaches people how to build resilience, protect their peace, and create businesses that align with healing rather than sacrifice. Quotes 7:02 - Serenity comes from the serenity prayer. God grant me serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. 9:10 - I'm really, really grateful for everything that I've learned. You know, you can work through these things and at the same time, for me, work on the inner work or the work that really matters, which to me, I call it healing. 11:46 - Relentless is where, for me, when you're pushing, it's the hustle, it's the doing what everyone else thinks you should do. It's all the things that are not in alignment with your health and your well-being.  24:10 - I am right where I need to be in the present, prepared for the present to be able to make the best decision for me, because that best decision for me is exactly the right one. 24:31 - Let go of trying to control it all and plan it all out.  28:02 - I believe when I bless and release that I am allowing space for even more amazing humans to come into my world. 33:55 - I will write my morning pages. I think it's just a great way to get out your thoughts out of your brain. It's a psychological thing as well, like especially in education. When you write things down, it takes it out of your thought processes and just separates you from the whirling and the rumination. 35:15 - I allow myself to do whatever I need to do to heal on the day.  Useful Links Website:https://www.bronwatson.com.au/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/bron_watson/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bronwatsonme/ LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bronwatson/ The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/ Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

    #307 David Homan: Why Relationships Decide Outcomes

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with David Homan to explore the true power of relationships and why meaningful connection is often the most overlooked asset in leadership, business, and life. As the founder of a global community of over 2,500 superconnectors, David shares how authentic relationships are built through trust, generosity, and consistent action rather than transactions or networking tactics. David reflects on several defining moments that shaped his worldview, from a serious childhood illness that left him struggling with social anxiety to navigating the aftermath of the Bernie Madoff scandal while leading a multinational foundation. These experiences taught him the importance of resilience, personal responsibility, and judging people by their actions rather than their promises. The conversation dives into the principles behind his bestselling book Orchestrating Connection, including why most people approach networking the wrong way, how leaders can build deeper and more intentional relationships, and why asking for help is often harder than offering it. David also shares the vision behind SOAR Connect, a relationship technology platform designed to help people build trust-based networks while protecting privacy and authenticity. At its core, this episode is about connection with purpose. David’s insights remind us that lasting success is rarely built alone. It comes from showing up for others, creating trust through action, and having the courage to ask for what truly matters. About The Guest David Homan is a bestselling author, entrepreneur, speaker, composer, and globally recognized community builder. He is the author of Orchestrating Connection and the founder of SOAR Connect, a relationship technology platform focused on helping people build stronger, trust-based professional and personal networks. Over the course of his career, David has cultivated a global community of more than 2,500 influential leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, family office executives, philanthropists, entertainers, and changemakers. Known as a “connector of connectors,” he specializes in creating meaningful introductions, fostering collaboration, and helping individuals and organizations unlock opportunities through authentic relationships. David’s work is driven by a belief that generosity, trust, and intentionality are the foundations of long-term success. Through his writing, speaking, coaching, and technology ventures, he continues to help leaders transform the way they build relationships, create impact, and strengthen communities around the world. Quotes  5:37 - I started to understand that everyone has something that they have gone through, most of us afraid to share it, that has formed how we act in this world. And the most gracious, kind people I've met have embraced that adversity. 8:09 - I had to take responsibility for something, even if it wasn't my fault that it had occurred in the first place.  8:52 - I learned to not take people at their word. I learned to only judge based on action.  9:17 - I started to help people without an expectation of return. And I did it from a place where there was no abundance.  12:52 - You can build trust that can last a generation if you simply help somebody with something they can't do themselves. 15:32 - Real trust has no boundaries once you've built it. And real trust with vulnerability at its core helps people address what they really need. And then the world moves forward with action and community. 16:26 - There has to be a reason behind what you built where you saw a problem that you needed to have solved. 17:31 - The real point of your pitch start with, the powerful passion you have with why you're building it. 18:11 - The skill is that enough to then spark more interest for somebody who hasn't heard this podcast to listen to it because of how somebody else described it. 18:51 - What we really crave in technology to build trust is to demonstrate the one thing I think is a real value, which is the time that we've spent together. 19:25 - I believe that if you can show those who you built the most trust with the ask that you need, and the system can help augment how they could help connect you. We can build a new way that is entirely data private and permission-based for people to connect.

    #306 Navid Nazemian on Mastering Executive Transitions and Avoiding C-Suite Failure

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Navid Nazemian to explore one of the most overlooked challenges in leadership: executive transitions. Drawing on his experience coaching more than 250 C-level leaders worldwide, Navid reveals why stepping into a new leadership role is often far more complex than organizations realize and why nearly four out of ten executives fail during transitions despite impressive credentials and extensive hiring processes. The conversation dives into the hidden factors that derail leadership success, including culture, politics, relationships, and the misconception that past achievements automatically translate into future success. Navid explains why traditional onboarding programs often fail senior leaders and shares insights from his research on executive transition failure, leadership readiness, and the critical role organizations play in supporting leaders during their first 12 to 18 months. A defining moment in the discussion centers on Navid’s own Green Pill experience, when a major career transition forced him to reassess his identity, leadership style, and definition of success. The conversation also explores executive coaching, self-awareness, leadership blind spots, gender gaps in transition support, and the importance of preparedness over prediction. At its core, this episode is about leadership as a human journey. Navid’s insights challenge leaders and organizations alike to rethink how success is built, proving that sustainable impact comes not from certainty or status, but from awareness, adaptability, and continuous growth. About The Guest Navid Nazemian is an internationally recognized executive coach, leadership advisor, keynote speaker, and author specializing in executive transitions and leadership effectiveness. With more than two decades of global leadership experience in human resources and organizational development, he has worked across multiple industries, countries, and cultures, helping senior executives successfully navigate complex career transitions. Navid is the author of the international bestselling book Mastering Executive Transitions: The Definitive Guide, a research-driven framework that has become a valuable resource for executives, boards, and organizations seeking to improve leadership success rates.  Known for combining rigorous research with practical leadership insights, Navid is passionate about helping leaders accelerate their impact while avoiding the common pitfalls that often accompany career advancement. Through his coaching, speaking, and thought leadership, he continues to shape conversations around leadership transitions, executive performance, and organizational success. Quotes 2:20 - I was operating on autopilot. So, I was making decisions from habit and expectation rather than from a place of awareness.  And I realised, in that moment, how easily top-level achievement can actually come at the cost of presence, humility, and deep human connections. So that moment really shaped or reshaped how I coach, how I lead, and how I define success. 9:20 - This is part of the reason why so many transitions go wrong, because there is just this inherent human preference and nature to continue to repeat what's made us successful previously without necessarily realizing that as and when we shift the level of responsibility substantially, we probably need a new mix of skills and activities.   25:05 - A 15-minute daily meditation. That's something that really serves me well. 34:06 - Invest in preparedness, not in prediction. Invest in professional, qualified support rather than hoping that the best candidate is going to wing it somehow.

    #305 From £65K Debt to a Seven-Figure Beauty Empire | Katie Godfrey

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Katie Godfrey to explore the realities of entrepreneurship, leadership, and what it truly takes to transition from being a skilled technician to a successful CEO. From opening her first salon at just 19 years old while carrying £50,000 of debt to building a seven-figure business empire, Katie shares the lessons that shaped her journey and transformed her approach to business. Katie challenges one of the most common beliefs in the beauty and service industries: that being fully booked automatically means success. She explains why busyness can often hide deeper business problems, including poor pricing, low profit margins, and a lack of strategic planning. The conversation highlights the importance of stepping away from daily operations, understanding business numbers, and building a company that supports the lifestyle and goals of its owner rather than trapping them inside it. The discussion also explores leadership, personal branding, team culture, and the power of making difficult decisions. Katie shares why entrepreneurs must learn to overcome comparison, imposter syndrome, and fear of success, while also embracing visibility in an increasingly AI-driven world. Her Green Pill wisdom centers on celebrating progress, recognizing achievements along the journey, and understanding that success is not just about reaching the next goal but appreciating how far you've already come. At its core, this episode is about building a business intentionally. Katie’s story is a powerful reminder that true success comes from creating freedom, focusing on what matters most, and having the courage to evolve as both a leader and entrepreneur. About The Guest Katie Godfrey is an award-winning entrepreneur, business strategist, author, and mentor who has become one of the leading voices in the beauty and business coaching industries. Starting her entrepreneurial journey at the age of 19, she built a successful salon business from the ground up while overcoming significant financial challenges, eventually scaling her ventures into a multi-million-pound enterprise. Today, Katie is the founder of KG Business Mentor, where she helps salon owners, beauty professionals, and service-based entrepreneurs transition from working in their businesses to leading them strategically. Through her coaching programs, training academies, events, podcast, and bestselling book Get Off the Tools, she has supported thousands of business owners in improving profitability, leadership, systems, and long-term growth. Known for her practical approach to business, Katie combines real-world experience with proven strategies to help entrepreneurs create sustainable success without burnout. Her mission is to empower business owners to step into their CEO role, build profitable companies, and create lives that align with their personal and professional ambitions. Quotes 1:36 - Take a moment to pause and celebrate yourself at that moment.  5:58 - I think that beauty is so much more than just that treatment. Like, yes, that makes someone feel confident, that makes someone feel pretty, and all of those things, but it's so much more deeper than that.  9:13 - Just listening to the team, making sure that they feel cared for and looked after as well, because ultimately they're the ones that are running our business.  9:37 - When they see that the leader is nurturing, when they see the leader is caring, when they see the leader is putting their team's thoughts and feelings first and their clients, everyone else kind of wants to support that too.   13:33 - We know opening a business needs 100% of your time. So, you really just need to make sure that you're really being aware of each step that you take in business.  19:07 - You have to do what you want to do at the end of the day. And just because of closing something doesn't mean it's a failure. It just means that you're in your next level. 20:06 Ending something doesn't mean it's a failure. It just means that you're in your next level.    Useful Links Website:https://www.katiegodfrey.com Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/kg_katiegodfrey Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KGSalons/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kgkatiegodfrey/ The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/ Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

    #304 From Burnout to Breakthrough with Muneeb Mushtaq

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Muneeb Mushtaq to explore the hidden cost of success and what happens when external achievement no longer matches internal well-being. As the co-founder of AskforTask, one of Canada’s fastest-growing on-demand platforms, Muneeb achieved the kind of entrepreneurial success many dream of. But after his exit, he found himself facing severe burnout, forcing him to confront a deeper truth: success alone does not create fulfilment. Muneeb shares how that burnout became the catalyst for a complete shift in his life and business philosophy. Instead of continuing to build purely for scale, he began asking more meaningful questions about performance, recovery, and emotional well-being. That search led him to create  AIRZAI® , a wellness technology company blending AI, scent, and neuroscience to help people consciously shape their environment. The conversation dives into practical strategies around building consciously, protecting your energy, creating daily protocols, and learning to say no. Muneeb also unpacks the importance of personal branding, mentorship, and reclaiming your identity outside your business. At its core, this episode is about alignment, intentionality, and redefining success, proving that true growth is not just about what you build, but who you become in the process. About The Guest Muneeb Mushtaq is a Pakistani-Canadian entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and founder of  AIRZAI® , a wellness technology company operating at the intersection of AI, scent, and neuroscience. He is best known as the co-founder of AskforTask, one of Canada’s largest on-demand service platforms, which grew to serve millions of users and gained recognition as one of North America’s fastest-growing startups. Today, Muneeb focuses on helping people optimize human performance and emotional well-being through intentional environments and conscious living. With a growing personal brand reaching over one million people, he speaks globally on entrepreneurship, recovery, personal branding, and building businesses without sacrificing health, peace, or purpose. Quotes 3:16 - Build your personal brand.   7:37 - I really wanted to build something and be in a space where I would really feel a sense of purpose. And this journey of recovery sent me looking for what actually changes how you feel.  12:24 - I try to protect my own state.   12:36 - I believe that being mindful of picking up on the opportunities to get involved in different projects and then really prioritizing recovery, because recovery is not a luxury in my calendar. It is the infrastructure that I have consciously built.   29:24 - Invest time, energy, and resources on building your personal brand. 31:06 - The way I look at my current situation where I've been blessed to build a reputation and ecosystem and experience around what I do that really sets me in top 1% globally to be doing that, it comes with a lot of responsibility. 32:39 - Even though I might be excellent in the craft that I do, I always remain a student and I always see guidance from my mentors, from the experts, the ultimate best in the industry of whichever industry that I want to go and disrupt.  Useful Links Website:https://muneebmushtaq.com/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/muneebmushtaq LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/muneebmushtaq/ The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/ Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

    #303 How Mohamed Adel Fakhro Is Transforming a 138-Year Legacy Through Innovation

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Mohamed Adel Fakhro to explore what happens when a 138-year-old business legacy collides with the frontiers of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and scientific innovation. As the first Bahraini graduate of Stanford University and Chairman of Infinite Loop, Mohamed shares how he transitioned from traditional business ventures into building companies focused on solving some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Mohamed reflects on the Green Pill moment that changed his perspective: reading Elon Musk’s biography and realizing that businesses could do more than generate profit. They could tackle global problems such as disease, climate change, and human longevity. This shift led him into emerging fields like CRISPR gene editing, genomics, AI, robotics, and healthcare innovation. He explains the transformative potential of technologies that can edit DNA, improve quality of life, and help address diseases at their genetic roots. The conversation also explores the realities of building research-driven companies in a region traditionally known for trade rather than innovation. Mohamed discusses the importance of sovereign research and development, the future of cultured meat, the role of generic medicines in making healthcare more accessible, and why the Middle East must evolve from consuming technology to creating it. He shares insights on balancing long-term vision with financial sustainability and why entrepreneurs must embrace failure as part of the journey. At its core, this episode is about imagination. It is about questioning traditional paths, thinking beyond short-term gains, and having the courage to build solutions that can shape the future. Mohamed’s story demonstrates how innovation begins when we dare to imagine possibilities that others cannot yet see. About The Guest Mohamed Adel Fakhro is the Chairman of Infinite Loop, entrepreneur, investor, and technology advocate focused on advancing innovation across biotechnology, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and emerging technologies. Coming from one of Bahrain’s most established merchant families, whose business heritage spans more than 138 years, he represents a new generation of leaders bridging traditional commerce with cutting-edge scientific progress. A graduate of Stanford University, Mohamed has spent his career exploring opportunities beyond conventional business sectors. His interests span genomics, gene editing, robotics, enterprise AI, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and healthcare accessibility. Through his ventures, he is actively working to develop technologies that improve human wellbeing while promoting regional self-sufficiency in critical sectors such as healthcare, food production, and advanced research. Passionate about long-term innovation, Mohamed advocates for stronger research and development ecosystems across the Middle East. His work reflects a belief that the region can become a creator of intellectual property and transformative technologies rather than simply a consumer of them. Through entrepreneurship, investment, and strategic leadership, he continues to champion ambitious ideas designed to address some of the world's most complex challenges. Quotes 3:39 - Business can be about changing the world for the better.  22:00 - You have to believe in yourself and you have to just do it, basically. It's not about like I need to learn about how the cells develop and how the cells grow and why they grow and what temperature and all of that.   22:47 - My message to the younger generation would be to just imagine what they want, not necessarily to become the most knowledgeable person in the field, but just imagine how you could fix a problem and then just go for it. 37:31 - As technology becomes more advanced, life becomes more slow. In fact, as it becomes more advanced, I think things will happen more and more quickly.

    #302 Decoding Anxiety: The Hidden Power of Authentic Expression with Dr. Chloe Carmichael

    In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Dr. Chloe Carmichael to explore the hidden psychology behind anxiety, burnout, self-censorship, and the emotional cost of constantly filtering ourselves in modern life. Dr. Chloe shares her personal Green Pill moment during COVID, when concerns about the developmental impact of masking on children pushed her to publicly speak out despite the professional risks involved. What began as fear quickly transformed into clarity, as she realized that authentic self-expression not only sharpened her thinking but also created emotional relief and deeper alignment with her values. The conversation dives into the fine line between productive nervous energy and destructive burnout. Dr. Chloe explains how anxiety can actually serve as meaningful data when understood correctly, helping high performers prepare, focus, and adapt. She also unpacks the warning signs of chronic stress, including sleep deprivation, emotional depletion, and neglecting social connection in pursuit of constant productivity. A major theme throughout the episode is the psychological impact of self-censorship. Dr. Chloe discusses how suppressing opinions and avoiding difficult conversations can damage emotional regulation, workplace culture, and even cognitive performance. She explains why healthy self-restraint is different from fear-based silence, and how leaders can create environments where accountability and authentic communication coexist without creating division. The episode also offers highly practical insights for professionals navigating high-pressure environments. Dr. Chloe shares simple tools for managing panic before presentations, handling difficult workplace conversations with clarity, and creating routines that protect mental health from burnout. Her advice blends clinical psychology with grounded real-world application, making the conversation both deeply thoughtful and immediately actionable. About The Guest Dr. Chloe Carmichael is a licensed clinical psychologist, speaker, and USA Today bestselling author known for her practical and direct approach to mental health, anxiety, and high-performance psychology. She serves on the advisory board of Women's Health and is widely recognized for helping professionals navigate stress, burnout, relationships, and communication challenges. Originally beginning her career as a yoga teacher in New York City, Dr. Chloe later pursued clinical psychology after becoming fascinated by the connection between meditation, behavior, and emotional regulation. Her work now focuses on helping individuals harness anxiety as a productive force rather than suppressing it. She is the author of multiple books, including Nervous Energy and Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, where she explores the intersection of mental health, communication, authenticity, and modern social dynamics. Through her writing, media appearances, and clinical work, Dr. Chloe continues to help people build emotional resilience while staying grounded, honest, and psychologically healthy in high-pressure environments. Quotes  5:25 - The important thing is that we have to rest and replenish.  6:48 - Social support is actually really crucial to mental health.   9:12 - Social support really is important, and our social support can only be as good as we are able to be authentic.  11:08 - Many of the cognitive benefits of freedom of speech is that it actually sharpens our cognitive awareness. It stimulates greater ability to collaborate on problems when we can speak creatively and freely and make jokes and not worry about, you know, saying the wrong thing. 24:07 - What we can predict, we can prepare for. So, the beauty of it is that if it does tend to happen repeatedly, at least we can make a good plan for it. 30:14 - It's important to have to make sure that you're getting the right therapy for your specific issue and to make sure that you're actually getting better instead of just getting validated.
