    #214 The Midlife Wake-Up Call Every Man Needs with Dixon

    Why do so many people reach midlife feeling disconnected from themselves? In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Brian Dixon — known professionally as Dixon — shares his journey from quiet misalignment and emotional drift to reclaiming purpose, courage, and authenticity later in life. Dixon, is an adventurer, author, speaker, and founder of The Someday NOW Project, a human re-engagement movement dedicated to helping people reconnect with purpose, energy, and the parts of themselves they may have lost to burnout, routine, and misalignment. After a life-threatening pulmonary embolism following a mountain bike accident, Dixon realized the life he was living no longer aligned with who he truly was. At 52 years old, he trained for two years before launching a paraglider solo off Lookout Mountain in Colorado, a moment that became symbolic of reclaiming his voice, identity, and future. Today, Dixon helps individuals, leaders, and organizations recognize the signs of disengagement and reconnect with meaningful action, ownership, and authentic living. He is the author of Hold My Beer: I’m Going Back in the Game.

    #209 From Stuck to Unstoppable: How to Create Real Change with Tonya Comer

    Tonya Comer’s story is one of rising—with grace, grit, and purpose. From the projects of Pittsburgh, Tonya climbed into broadcast journalism, corporate America, and ultimately, entrepreneurship. She built an award-winning interior design firm and was named one of the Top 20 African American Interior Designers in the United States. Behind the accolades and ambition was a woman shackled by shame and self-doubt. Her own self-sabotage led her to rock bottom. And it was there she found the path to transformation. Through years of inner work to heal the wounds of abuse, bullying, poverty, and abandonment, she developed life tools that rebuilt her from the inside out—tools she now shares with women everywhere. Tonya Comer is on a mission to ignite a Global Love Revolution—by guiding high-achieving women home to themselves. She believes that when a woman heals from shame and self-doubt and rises into wholeness and self-love, everything around her transforms. Her life becomes an extension of her truth. Her relationships deepen. Her leadership expands. Her work opens to something greater than the grind—it opens to purpose and service. In High Heels on a Ladder: The 7 Power Tools for Designing Your Life is more than a book. It’s a movement—a catalyst for women to step fully into their power, align their purpose with their professional impact, and lead lives that heal not just themselves but the world.
