    Season 6 Ep. 2 | Imagine Sisyphus Happy

    Season 6 Ep. 2 | Imagine Sisyphus Happy

    The title of this episode says it all and it draws from the inspiration of countless one-liners and adages found in the experiences of our guest. Evan Chmieleski is much more than a "former MMA fighter". And he embodies the wisdom he has taken from his years of training and has applied it beyond the mat and out into the world.

    Here's more Evan:

    Evan began training in 2008 to settle a bet about whether or not he could be an MMA fighter. Taking an amateur MMA fight 5 weeks after the first class he ever took, he found out first hand that he had a lot to learn.

    Beginning strictly as an MMA athlete with more toughness and heart than technique and knowledge, his Mixed Martial Arts career, corporate career, and personal life have all had their share of ups and downs. Throughout the past 14 years, Evan has found value in the lessons he has learned through the martial arts. As his experience grew, he realized that the lessons learned through the martial arts are applicable in many situations encountered in both personal and professional life.

    Evan’s goal for the Fight For Tomorrow Academy is to truly embody the philosophy that “the true way of the martial arts is to train so that these skills are useful at any time, and to teach these skills so that they will be useful in all things.”

    Evan’s martial arts accomplishments include:


    Black Belt in Japanese Jiu-jitsu (Shodan)


    Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu


    Locked in the Cage Bantamweight Champion


    2016 Team USA - Combat Sambo International Presidents Cup Champion (63kg / 139lbs)

    Competitor for CFFC (Cage Fury Fighting Championships), Ring of Combat, Locked in the Cage, XCC (Xtreme Caged Combat), F2W (Fight 2 Win grappling) and many other tournaments and events

    Season 6 Ep. 1 | Allowing: The Subtle Art Behind Performance

    And we are back! But not only are we back... we have evolved into a manlier, sillier, thic'er (??), and more thought provoking form!

    And by that I mean, we have a new co-host -- Tony Ortiz. You'll get a snapshot of the dynamic to come at the beginning of this episode.

    Buckle up because I surely am too.



    Our incredible guest in this episode is Mike Aidala. He is a leading Performance Coach + World Record holder who has been mentioned in: Men’s Health, GQ, Men’s Journal, Muscle & Fitness, Well+Good, AskMen and more.

Mike's programs are for individuals who want to grow their relationship with their mental, emotional and physical health. He works clients on a 1:1 basis using a range of modalities to create, personalized programs that revolve around cultivating the peak performance state of, flow.



    This episode is so potent for taking the first step out of our way. It is a conversation on "allowing", learning who we really are, and breaking down the "should" -- what it is, why it exists, and how we mask our own fears of it.



    At the 00:51:00 mark, Mike poses a challenge to list 30 things that you're curious about..! We hope it helps.

    Season 5 Bonus Episode Pt. 2 with Preservation Health & LMA Mineral Float Spa

    Vivi + Keith return to KORU Real Wellness. We get real in this episode by exploring how we can create a better world outside the float spa.

    Meet Vivi and Keith Sadel.

    Married for 28 years, they own and operate:

    Preservation Health, an internist practice dedicated to giving more TIME & ACCESS to their clients. They started off as a traditional medical practice and have since been moving in a more "concierge" model. This allows them to have more time with their patients. It is a change that is needed in medicine. To know your local Doctor, and him to have the time to get to know you, is unheard of at this point and time.

    Lma Mineral Float Spa, a spa below their medical practice that offers 2 different float experiences as well as a sauna. The benefits of mineral floats include: muscle relaxation, better sleep, decrease in pain, and decreased stress and anxiety.

    Season 5 Ep. 17 | ‘Culture War’, or a Culture of War?: Here’s what’s really going on.

    Barb Meza is an Inspired Wellness Collaborator, Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, and Mind-Body Nourishment Coach.

    Each and every one of us has our own unique story to tell and the need to be nurtured and heard. There is a balance between the inner self and the happenings of life around us.

    Amidst the chaos of life, Barb supports humans to find the calm.

    In this episode or as we preface it... "an adult conversation", her mindful way of speaking, and of feeling energy exemplifies this very same calm.
    We explore play, individuality (whatever that is...), abortion rights, and so much more.

    These topics can already be personal and uncomfortable. We go deep and come out on the other side with an even deeper sense of openness, and most times... a laugh.

    Season 5 Ep. 16 | Community: Let's Build It, with Jessica + David

    Season 5 Ep. 16 | Community: Let's Build It, with Jessica + David

    David & Jess started the Cardinal in September 2021. The Doylestown Borough locals met in Delray Florida as yogis and decided to plant their feet in Bucks County.

    In this episode, they not only discuss the genesis of the magazine, but also discovering their love for this area.

    Both David and Jessica have family in and around PA and NY. After visiting here, Doylestown was the only place to go for them! It felt like home after an only-in-doylestown turn of events (which you will hear in this episode, involves Harvey Ave, a Subaru Forester, and a perfect fall day...).

    They decided alongside their partner Jeff at the Jim Thorpe-based, The Current, that Doylestown was missing that “sweet local newspaper”. And so, they created it themselves.

    We also dive into the power of communication (go figure!), parenting, and more about their lives outside the Cardinal.

    Fun fact: Did you know the Bucks County Bird is the cardinal?
