    Healing Your Relationship with Food by Regulating Your Nervous System with Amber Caudle

    This episode went places I did not expect, and I mean that in the best way. Amber Caudle is a chef, author, speaker, and coach who has spent more than 20 years in the culinary world, including founding the Source Cafe. After battling disordered eating for 30 years, she discovered that healing her relationship with food was about so much more than what was on her plate. Through her coaching practice, Nourish Your Power, she blends nutrition, mindset, and somatic work to help women break free from harmful food patterns and reconnect with themselves. Oh, and her book, Hungry: Reclaiming Food Freedom and Finding Peace in Your Body, dropped the day we recorded this. Talk about perfect timing. In this conversation, Amber completely reframes what it means to eat well. We dig into why your nervous system state matters more than your macros, what actually happens to your digestion when you eat under stress, and why so many high-achieving women are walking around thinking they eat healthy while their bodies tell a completely different story. We also get into the difference between intuitive eating and mindful eating, why pleasure is actually a metabolic tool, and how your relationship with food mirrors your relationship with receiving in every other area of your life, including money, clients, and love. This one is for every entrepreneur who eats lunch standing at the kitchen counter while checking email. You know who you are.

    Why You're Not as Behind on AI as You Think with Len Ward

    If AI feels overwhelming, or you have been quietly avoiding it because you are not sure where to start, this episode is going to be a relief. Len Ward is the founder and CEO of Commexis, an AI consulting and product development firm that helps businesses eliminate bottlenecks and scale through automation. He started his career as a stockbroker at Morgan Stanley and went on to become VP of Institutional Equity Sales and Trading at Credit Suisse, where he developed a sharp ability to read where things are heading. And where things are heading, according to Len, is a complete shift in how business gets done. In this conversation, Len and I dig into why so many business owners are resistant to AI and what is really behind that fear. He breaks down the difference between what the media says AI can do and what is actually happening on the front lines, and his answer might surprise you. We also talk about the shift from what Len calls search and retrieve to solve my problem, and why the companies that make that shift fastest are the ones that will win. Len shares real examples of how AI is cutting marketing budgets, eliminating unqualified leads, and putting sales teams on the one-yard line before they even pick up the phone. We also get into what he believes is the next most valuable job title inside every company, and why the idea that AI is going to replace human judgment is still a long way off. If you are a coach, consultant, or business owner who knows AI is important but has not quite figured out how it fits into what you do, this episode will help you get clear.

    From Grief to Healing: How Brown's Gas Technology Changed Everything with George Wiseman

    When George Wiseman first reached out to Interview Connections, I had no idea that our conversation would move me to tears. George is an inventor, engineer, and founder of Eagle Research, and his story is one of the most powerful I have ever heard on this podcast. George has spent decades developing Brown's gas technology, originally as an alternative energy solution for fuel efficiency and combustion systems. But it was a series of deeply personal experiences, including years as the full-time caretaker for his late wife as she battled lupus, that transformed his life's mission entirely. In this episode, George shares how Brown's gas went from a fuel-saving technology to something he believes saved his own life after the devastating loss of his wife in 2016. He walks us through the science of hydrogen therapy, why most people are hydrogen deficient, and the remarkable changes he experienced in his own body after inhaling Brown's gas, from the disappearance of a 50-year-old virus to the healing of a heart murmur he had carried since childhood. We also talk about why stories like George's rarely make it into traditional media, and why podcasting remains one of the most powerful platforms for ideas that challenge the status quo. If you have been curious about hydrogen therapy, alternative wellness, or what it looks like to rebuild your life around a mission that is bigger than yourself, this episode is for you. Connect with George and grab his free ebook on how Brown's gas can support life extension and whole-body health: https://eagle-research.com/can-hydrogen-help-you-live-longer-download/ Are you ready to share your story on podcasts?

    How to Successfully Promote Your Book Online

    If you have been pouring your heart into writing a book and wondering how to actually get people to read it, this episode is for you. I was introduced to Jenn T. Grace by one of our clients, Linda Hunt, and the moment we got on a call, I knew I needed to get her on the show. She is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and publishing strategist with more than 20 years of experience in marketing, communication, and storytelling. She is the founder of Publish Your Purpose, a certified B Corp hybrid publisher, and the creator of the Institute for Author Growth and Impact, an educational platform supporting nonfiction and memoir writers through every stage of their author journey. And I have to be honest: after nearly 400 episodes of this podcast, I somehow never did an episode about using podcast appearances to promote a book. Jenn helped me fix that. In this conversation, we get into why podcast guesting converts so much better than traditional media for authors, what realistic book sales numbers actually look like, and why the authors who talk about their book constantly are the ones who win long-term. Jenn also shares the sweet spot for when to start marketing your book, how to grow your email list before your book even launches, and how some of her clients have landed six-figure consulting deals simply by getting their book into the right hands. If you are an entrepreneur, coach, or thought leader who is writing a book or thinking about writing one, this episode will show you exactly how to use podcast guesting to build momentum before, during, and long after your launch.

    The Power of Authentic Presence with Suzanne Roberts

    Suzanne Roberts, Principal of UnifyingSolutions, is a seasoned coach, author, facilitator, and speaker, with over five decades of experience in guiding organizations and individuals toward transformative change. Since 1979, she has worked with a diverse range of corporations, businesses, and non-profits, specializing in leadership development, cultural competence, and organizational resilience. She provides training and facilitation in The Great Reconnection™ and Consulting, helping individuals and teams cultivate vibrant, purposeful, and liberated lives and cultures. The Great Reconnection™ Coaching is more than just a coaching method—it’s a transformative pathway designed to help you reclaim YOU and step into your authentic power. Through this process, you’ll align with your deepest self, unshackled from the weight of external pressures and societal expectations. In this episode, Jess and Suzanne discuss: Being in a "trust recession" and why authentic online sharing builds the kind of connection that leads to real business relationships. Suzanne shares why vulnerability paired with a pathway forward is what moves people to reach out. How Suzanne launched her podcast in May 2024 for the sheer fun of it and has already reached 35 countries and 2,600 downloads, interviewing guests weekly with a monthly wisdom drop segment called Wisdom Drops. The unique pre-interview ritual Suzanne uses with every guest: a centering breath, a moment of presence, and an intention set together before recording begins. Jess shares why this was unlike anything she has experienced in hundreds of podcast appearances. Why there is no amount of strategy and tactics that will sustainably grow your business if your nervous system is dysregulated, and what it looks like to build a culture that is expansive rather than driven by pressure and burnout. Suzanne's 50-year evolution as a coach, from organizational development and team leadership to somatic work at the Strozzi Institute, to nervous system resets with a literal massage table in her office. Research Suzanne is now pursuing after discovering that leaders are spending 60 to 85 percent of their day in disconnection and often cannot identify their own signal to reconnect.
