Scott Harrison is a former nightclub promoter turned Founder & CEO of Charity Water, one of the most revolutionary nonprofits in business today.

Scott is a wealth of insight and inspiration as he shares with us how he went from living on the closet floor of a cramped apartment to raising over $210 million to bring more than 6 million people fresh drinking water around the world.

I ask Scott how exactly he continues to dream big after attaining such rapid success, how he deals with dry spells, and what he does to stay energized in an industry known for burning out even the most tenacious entrepreneurs.

Have you ever had the thought that life would be so much easier if not for the people?

That’s because some people are toxic.

You may have toxic people in your life, you may not, and you may actually be one for someone else…

In this episode, we dive into my personal experiences with toxic relationships and gain some wisdom from two of my most trusted advisors.

Charles Lew, business entrepreneur and restaurateur, discusses how to handle toxic people in business in order to keep your company and work life as healthy as possible.

Ana Lucia Cottone, my creative consultant who helps build businesses and lives into their fullest potential, breaks down the nuances and dangers of labeling people as toxic and ultimately shows us how toxic people may indeed be our greatest teachers in life.

Overall, this podcast will give you the tools necessary to engage and embrace anyone you consider a source of chronic stress in your life with grace and understanding.

So here’s to a happier, healthier you!

Carrie is a mother of three who somehow finds ways to consistently publish critically acclaimed, young-adult novels.

Her third book Crazy, Messy, Beautiful recently launched on February 7th and tells the story of a hopelessly romantic young artist who finds himself riddled with inner turmoil as he discovers the true nature, and cost, of love.

In this episode, I ask Carrie all about her ability to somehow balance the responsibility of managing an endlessly animated household and yet cultivating the space to accomplish her dreams of being a successful writer.

Our conversation hits on topics such as:
How to maintain your inspiration
How to balance a household and a career &
How to avoid feeling like a victim of your schedule

Enjoy!

Quitters never win…or do they?
Quitting is one of the most essential ingredients to finding your true self and the life you were made for.

Personally, I’ve quit tons of things.
Dating relationships.
High paying clients.
Influential leadership roles.
And a handful of other opportunities I would have killed for in another season.

Everything I learned about quitting I put into this episode.

We cover 3 Questions to ask yourself about quitting:

1. Have You Quit Already?
2. Has It Ever Changed?
3. Will You Be A Healthier You If You Quit?

I interview my coach and transformation expert Lucia Cottone, who helps us understand the important distinction between Quitting and Transitioning.

Finally, I cover these key concepts to help you leave well:
1. Graduation vs. Divorce
2. The Quitter is in Control
3. Cheer for those who will stop cheering for you
4. Be comfortable with the stories that change

By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools necessary to help yourself and your loved ones move into the best opportunities without leaving behind a wake of regret, animosity or drama!

Happy Quitting!

Science & Doubt.

Two things that many people see as completely contrary to finding God. However, my guest on this episode could not disagree more. Mike McHargue, more widely known as “Science Mike,” has found his deepest sense of spiritual enlightenment by embracing life’s greatest mysteries. His latest book is called Finding God In The Waves: How I Lost My Faith and Found It Again Through Science and he currently hosts both The Liturgists Podcast and Ask Science Mike.

Science Mike and I talked for quite a while, so this episode has two major sections you’ll want to hear!

In the first section, we get to hear Science Mike’s compelling story about disproving his faith, becoming a secular humanist, almost losing his entire community of family & friends, then miraculously finding God through a profoundly mystical experience.

In the second half of the episode, I ask Science Mike the most provocative questions I can think of…

How should we view the Bible?
Does Church Matter?
What is the nature of God?
What do we do with doubt?
What is the future of faith communities?

All these questions and more get answered in detail!

So if you or any of your loved ones have ever wrestled with serious doubt or have already walked away God entirely, you need to give this episode a listen.
