Humanity has never been more connected yet divided; we have lost touch with ourselves and it’s time for that to change.


Our mission is to shift people’s perspectives on how they can overcome the obstacles in their lives so that they move forward and prosper.


Our vision is to foster a sense of connection and community over our common struggles, while providing our listeners with tools to overcome them.


We do this through the power of authentic narrative and intensive research, which manifests as host monologues, co-host conversations, and special guest interviews.


We hope they will entertain, inspire, and perhaps even teach you something new.


Tune in every Tuesday for new episodes.
