    Breaking Free: Loneliness, Social Media Addiction, and Mental Health | Ep 47 | Fountain of Vitality

    Two young women sat in a Winter Park cocktail bar, hair done perfectly, outfits perfect, phones out. For an hour and a half they did not speak to one another, did not laugh, did not look up. They posed, took pictures, and posted them online. Charisma coach Mary Gardner watched it happen at the next table and calls it the saddest thing she could imagine. She has spent her career teaching the exact conversation skills that scene is quietly erasing. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Mary Gardner, CEO of Mary Gardner Communications and creator of the Introvert to Influencer course, to unpack the loneliness epidemic and the skills that reverse it. Mary shares her FORM formula for small talk, the party host mindset for walking into any room, the reason one sentence can carry a dozen meanings depending on tone of voice, and the story of a client who expected to be fired at a conference and came home the vice president of sales. She also explains why AI can hand anyone knowledge while heart and connection remain the abilities that decide careers, friendships, and happiness. If starting a conversation makes your palms sweat, this episode hands you scripts, questions, and mindset shifts you can use tonight. Listen once, try one formula this week, and watch how quickly rooms, careers, and friendships open up to you.

    Health and Longevity with Protein Performance | Ep 46 | Fountain of Vitality

    Jon Engelson grew up surrounded by doctors. His father taught medicine at USC, and Engelson went to UC San Diego pre-med, on the same path. Then, a misdiagnosis in his mid-20s sent him searching elsewhere, into macrobiotics, homeopathy, herbalism, and nutrition. Years later, his four-year-old son kept coming home from nursery school with rashes, and Engelson asked the question that grew into an Inc 500 company: why are there no healthy snacks in schools? In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Jon Engelson, Chief Strategy Officer of Joburg Meats, to dig into what actually works in nutrition. Engelson explains why he trusts thousands of real testimonials over double-blind studies people can barely follow, how a strict meat-forward approach reversed metabolic issues for people he has met in person, and why most jerky is loaded with sugar it never needed. He breaks down air dried meat, four clean ingredients, grass fed cattle, and the glatt kosher and halal standards behind one of the only plants of its kind in the country. If you have ever felt lost in conflicting diet advice, this conversation offers a simpler test for what to trust.

    Chronic Pain? Trying to Avoid Orthopedic Surgery? | Ep 45 | Fountain of Vitality

    A man tore the same Achilles tendon for the third time. Two surgeries had failed, and the surgeons wanted to transplant a tendon from a cadaver. Dr. Sean Altman took a different path. Ultrasound guided needle electrolysis, laser therapy, and a loading program helped the body heal the tear on its own. Twelve weeks later he ran a 5K. One year later, he ran two half marathons with his son. He is in his late 60s and feels like he could conquer the world. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Dr. Sean Altman, a doctor of orthopedic functional medicine, will explore why two people with the same arthritis can feel completely different pain, and what it takes to treat the root cause instead of the symptom. Dr. Altman breaks down the self healing modalities behind his work, including laser therapy, shockwave therapy, PEMF, and frequency specific micro-current. He explains why sleep quality is the first thing he checks, how detoxification protects the brain over decades, and why the patient has to be an active teammate in their own recovery. If you have been told surgery is your only option, this conversation offers another way to think about healing.

Guest Bio Dr. Sean Altman is a functional medicine doctor with expertise in orthopedic and regenerative medicine. He spends an hour or more with each patient to find the root cause of their symptoms.

    Business Insurance Health - 831b another tool in your toolbelt | Ep 44 | Fountain of Vitality

    In 2008, Van Carlson watched the auctioneer's gavel come down on businesses run by people he knew. Little league sponsors. Pillars of their towns. Good operators who worked hard and still lost everything when the financial risk they carried every day finally caught up with them. He had sold insurance to many of them. He also knew a piece of tax code, written in 1986 while he was still a high schooler in Fruitland, Idaho, that might have changed the ending. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Van Carlson, Founder and CEO, to unpack a question most owners never think to ask. You are already self-insuring your business, so how do you want to do it, with pre-tax dollars or after-tax dollars? Van breaks down the 831(b) tax code, why it works like a Health Savings Account for your company, how surplus compounds tax-deferred year after year, and the line between risk mitigation and a tax play the IRS will not let you defend. He gets into shrinking coverage, rising deductibles, brand and cyber gaps policies ignore, and why the right moment to add this tool comes after you have done everything else right. If your premiums keep climbing while your coverage keeps thinning, this is the tool most owners have never heard of and the one their CPA rarely brings up. Listen to the full conversation with Van Carlson and decide if an 831(b) plan belongs in your toolbelt before the next downturn arrives.

    Keep Your Customers - Client Retention Formula | Ep 43 | Fountain of Vitality

    A stranger sprinted up to Vance Morris's daughter in a grocery store and asked how her ballet recital went. The family had no idea who she was. She turned out to be a carpet cleaning customer who had watched Emma grow up through years of newsletter photos, and Vance knew right then she would never leave his company. She would have to move or die first. That moment captures the customer retention machine he has been building for nearly two decades. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Vance Morris, a former Walt Disney World leader turned client retention consultant, to break down why it costs him $136 to acquire a new carpet cleaning customer and only $23 a year to keep one. Vance shares his client retention formula, the print newsletter strategy that built decades of loyalty, the gold bubble mailer that lands meetings with almost anybody, and the Disney empowerment principles that let frontline employees solve 99 percent of customer problems on the spot. If you are spending all your time chasing strangers while your best customers quietly drift away, this conversation gives you the playbook to flip that math and grow on loyalty instead.

    Look, See, and Feel Better with Eyelid and Facial Cosmetic Surgery | EP 42 | Fountain of Vitality

    A board-certified ophthalmologist watches his patient flying in from a private estate cry the same tears of joy as the uninsured patient who has been blind for ten years. Same operating room. Same week. Dr. Sumeet Jindal performs custom lens replacement in ten minutes per eye, restores sight to patients who cannot afford care, and rebuilds eyelids and faces with the precision of a microsurgeon. His Robin Hood model funds it all. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Dr. Jindal, founder of JIYA Eyelid and Facial Cosmetic Surgery, to unpack how a father-son ophthalmology practice in North Carolina became a destination for patients flying in from across the country and Europe. Dr. Jindal explains why most droopy upper lid surgeries miss the muscle that actually lifts the eye, what makes lower eyelid work so unforgiving, and how every premium cosmetic case at JIYA funds free vision-restoring surgery for patients who would otherwise stay blind. He also walks through the bionic upgrade aging eyes have been waiting for and why the lens God gave you still beats anything technology can install. If you've been told your only option is to live with droopy lids, glasses, or a face that no longer matches how you feel, this conversation lays out a different path. One that uses elite microsurgery, treats the deep tissue instead of just the skin, and quietly funds sight restoration for the patients no other practice would take.

Guest Bio   Dr. Sumeet Jindal is a board-certified ophthalmologist and oculofacial cosmetic surgeon, and the founder of JIYA Eyelid and Facial Cosmetic Surgery in Raleigh. He blends elite eye microsurgery with advanced facial cosmetic techniques, performing endoscopic facelifts, mid-face lifts, sutureless eyelid lifts, and complex revision surgeries for patients traveling in from Beverly Hills and beyond. Every cosmetic procedure at JIYA funds free vision-restoring care for patients who cannot afford it.

    How to Rewire Your Brain and Culture with Experiential Neuroscience | Ep 41 | Fountain of Vitality

    August 13, 2023. Thayne Martin had a seizure mid-swim and sank to the bottom of his pool. He woke up alive at the bottom, and the bitter, angry version of him did not come back up with him. Twenty plus years of professional therapy had helped him talk about the damage. It had not rewritten it. What finally did was a $100 bill handed to a stranger named Carla at a Carl's Jr. counter, and the wave of love it set off between his heart and his brain the moment he let it go. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with Thayne Martin, CEO and Founder of It's Pure Love, to unpack the experiential neuroscience method Thayne built after that near-death experience reset his life. Thayne explains why talk therapy stops short of healing, how gratitude shuts down the amygdala in real time, and the five psychological techniques that rewrite the emotional operating system of individuals and organizations. He also walks through the AI culture diagnostic behind his work, a model reading 1,200 NLP signals across a company's communication to surface burnout, psychological safety, and executive capacity before any survey would. If you have ever wondered why talking about your patterns has not changed them, or why your company's culture survey keeps saying things are fine when they are not, this conversation lays out a different path. One that updates the body, not just the mind. Subscribe to Fountain of Vitality for conversations with leaders redefining health, longevity, and what it means to live with intention. New episodes drop weekly across all major platforms.  Guest Bio  Thayne Martin is the CEO and Founder of It's Pure Love, a company pioneering experiential neuroscience to change default behavior in individuals and organizations. After a 2023 near-death experience, Thayne walked away from a life of bitterness and built a method grounded in gratitude neuroscience, polyvagal theory, memory reconsolidation, predictive processing, and resonant encoding. His work fuses neuroscience training with AI culture diagnostics for executive teams.

    High Performance Engineering Systems for a Healthier Lifestyle | Ep 40 | Fountain of Vitality

    JD Tremblay is one of three people who finished the EpicDeca, 10 back-to-back Ironmans across six Hawaiian islands. He is a Canadian military veteran, a biomedical engineer, a certified naturopath, and the Director of High Performance and Mental Resilience at Hungry Warrior Academy. His method for sustained high output is not what most athletes preach. It rests on a system he calls BRAIN, a redefined word most people get wrong, and a single non-negotiable you actually enjoy. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, host LaMont Leavitt sits down with JD Tremblay to trace how a French-Canadian kid from a broken home moved through the Canadian Armed Forces, into a biomedical engineering degree at Western University, and into naturopathy because he wanted to test the systems on himself. JD coaches executives, elite athletes, and former operators at Hungry Warrior Academy, where his BRAIN framework breaks performance into blood chemistry, recovery, attention, inflammation, and nervous system. Listen as JD shares his BRAIN system, the discipline reframe that hinges on a non-negotiable you enjoy, what Kenyan runners do that most amateurs get backwards, and why slow training is the missing piece. New episodes weekly.
