    Episode 10. The Hero Within (w/Bud Brutsman)

    On the show today I welcome Bud Brutsman. For nearly the last 30 years, Bud’s been cranking out some of the industry’s most dynamic programs totaling almost 350 TV Shows!  From hit series like Overhaulin and Rides to mixed martial arts, King of the Cage and Shark Fights, Bud’s a high energy, type A personality with no signs of stopping! He’s also written 3 books on the Navy SEALs; plus created a special task force to rescue climbers on Mt. Everest and in Baja-there’s really no limits to what this guy can’t do. And it’s fitting because, Bud has a Hero component built into the fabric of his psyche. He’s not the loudest one in the room, but he’s the hardest working. And I love that in many ways, through his actions, he’s asking us all to find our “inner hero.” Let’s find out what makes this guy tick as Fully Alive gets the green light…right now!

    About today's episode:

    On the show today I welcome Nick Segal. Nick is by far one of the most courageous people I know. For over the past 30 years, Nick has been thriving in the competitive Los Angeles Real Estate world, building and selling two successful companies for millions of dollars. Now at the ripe, young age of 58, he’s a new Dad with a new purpose. As Nick begins transitioning out of Real Estate, his focus has shifted toward coaching and being a strategist for some of the biggest names & companies out there. Each person who has worked with him has taken the ride beyond their comfort zone into the freedom that lives beyond the walls of conformity. His new book “On Your Terms” creates an execution strategy that instills self-confidence and a pure belief that your goal is absolutely attainable. We’ll also dive into his new video series, “The Exchange” plus get current on creativity in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic. But rest assure, by the time we’re done, you’ll be feeling empowered, encouraged and hopefully inspired to create the life you’ve always dreamed of.

    This is…FULLY ALIVE.

    About: 

    On the show today I welcome Erin Coscarelli. As a TV host and sports broadcaster, Erin has had the good fortune of interviewing some of the greatest athletes of our time and covering some of the most coveted sports events in history, including the last 5 Super Bowls for the NFL Network. Prior to the NFL, Erin worked as an anchor and reporter for NBC Sports in the Bay Area covering all the San Fran Pro Teams. Additionally, she’s worked as a sideline reporter for college football with Fox Sports, the Pac 12 Network, the Summer X-Games and the World Series of Poker for ESPN. But what I’m really curious about is how does she find her voice in the midst of an intense male-sporting culture? Has the treatment of women in these environments improved or has the “me-too” movement been muted? What are some of the challenges and hurdles she’s faced to overcome adversity? We’ll tackle all that and so much more as we go “Live with Erin Coscarelli”

    Episode 6. Music is Medicine (w/Wes Geer)

    Episode 6. Music is Medicine (w/Wes Geer)

    On the show today I welcome Wesley Geer. Wes is best known as the founding
    member of Hed P.E and touring guitarist for the legendary band, Korn. He’s
    traveled to 42 countries and played in front of crowds of 80,000. However, it’s his
    current endeavor that really struck a “chord “with me. On 12/12/12, Wes created
    “Rock to Recovery” using Music as Medicine. After hitting rock bottom himself
    and getting sober, Wes had a vision to transform lives through the powerful,
    healing, consoling experience of music. R2R works with veterans, the youth and
    those working to overcome all forms of addictions, disorders and a variety of
    mental health issues. Plus, their program extends internationally through the Air
    Force “Wounded Warrior” program. R2R holds approximately 500 sessions a
    month writing and recording original songs on the spot to promote happy, healthy
    brain chemistry. Let’s see if we can get this episode to “go to 11.” This
    is…”FULLY ALIVE.”

    Episode 5. Hacking the Biosphere (w/Martin Tobias)

    On the show today I welcome Martin Tobias. Recognized as a renowned serial

    entrepreneur and venture capitalist, he currently focuses on the emerging

    intersection of health care, technology, fitness, and the transformation economy.

    Martin is the CEO of Upgrade Labs that combines real data, insights, and

    leading-edge technology with trained experts to help all humans create radical

    improvements in physical and cognitive performance. Sounds pretty incredible

    right? But what if I told you that this revolutionary concept was birthed from him

    going through one of the most devastating experiences of his life. Months after

    his first company went public, Martin found himself paralyzed on his couch in a

    massive, deep-depression. He went to sleep a successful CEO and awoke days

    later to being a mental health patient with no recollection of time passing. This

    incident launched him into a deep dive of our mental health care system and how

    we treat the mentally ill in our society. Find out what happens when a tech giant

    brings innovative, Silicon Valley style disruption into an outdated Health Industry.

    The results will blow your mind…This is FULLY ALIVE!

Teachable and Touching

Brandon did an excellent job interviewing and summarizing Debra’s words. Hearing two powerful healing stories from two “fully alive” people just expanded my faith in the power of Love.
