    Surviving the Killing Fields of Cambodia

    Surviving the Killing Fields of Cambodia

    From 1975-1979 an estimated 2,000,000 people died at the hands of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. My guest in this episode, Sara Im, was very nearly one of those statistics.

    She tells her story of being captured, nearly worked to death, and her harrowing escape in the jungle. Her story is crazy! Survival against all odds, resilience and determination, new beginnings, and her healing and helping others.

    She's an amazing lady and I'm very grateful for her telling her story. Please share it with someone!

    "How To Breathe While Suffocating" with Bruce Brackett

    "How To Breathe While Suffocating" with Bruce Brackett

    My guest today is Bruce Brackett. He’s an artist, a motivational speaker, an author, and an advocate for mental health, recovery, and positivity. On his first day on Earth he was already detoxing from substances his birth mother was taking.

    Then Bruce was thrown into a life of chaos and foster homes until his eventual adoption. He moved to New York City to become a Broadway star but the constant uncertainty and rejection led him to become hopelessly addicted to multiple hard-core drugs and supporting his habits by selling his body.

    He has spent two decades getting intensive trauma therapy, psychiatric treatment, and rehab but is now clean and helping his over one million followers realize they are not alone and that they can get clean too.

    Improving Confidence and Mental Toughness with Jerry Scarlato

    Improving Confidence and Mental Toughness with Jerry Scarlato

    See if you can relate to this. Everything in your life is just kind of ok. Not great or exciting, not terrible. Just average. For some people that is absolutely ok, but Jerry knew he could do so much more.

    The Epic Novel of Bridger Frederick's Life

    The Epic Novel of Bridger Frederick's Life

    My guest in this one has lived a life worthy of an epic novel. Filled with highs and lows. Twists and turns. Achievements and heartbreaks.

    High school dropout, drug dealer to owning a construction business. Leaving it all behind to move to Australia with no plan just a sense of adventure.

    A solo bicycle tour through the wilderness of Africa where everyone thought he was insane to moving back with dreams of striking it rich by being a cattle mogul.

    And finally the horrific accident that left him paralyzed and almost killed his girlfriend.

    Through all that he has learned a lot of lessons and shared a lot of wisdom in this one. A very interesting guy who is now on a mission to create a place where people can come to heal physically, mentally, and emotionally. Bridger does big things so I can't wait to see this come to fruition!

Great list of guests

I appreciate the range of guests that Joe has on the show each week. Not only motivational, but actionable advice makes it a great listen.

Actionable & Thoughtful Advice

I’m a new listener and am already getting so much out of this show. The 5 why’s were a very helpful exercise to understand the emotions behind a goal, making the right goals stickier as habits. Thanks for this show!
