    Own Your Story, Grow Your Impact

    What if the thing you’ve been hiding is the key to your growth? We sit down with Bill Blankschaen, author of Your Story Advantage, to unpack how honest storytelling turns doubt into confidence, confusion into clarity, and experience into influence. Instead of copying gurus, Bill shows how to build credibility no one can steal by framing the lessons you’ve earned and telling them for the people who need them most. Bill’s own leap—from leading a thriving school to a year with no income and six kids to support—reveals the mindset and method behind a story-driven life. We talk about the confidence trap that keeps talented people invisible, the connection power of imperfection, and the moment you hit the “I believe” button and act before the outcome is guaranteed. Along the way, Bill shares the Story Ecosystem Framework: define your meaningful message, multiply it into assets like a book or signature talk, and monetize through services, courses, and consulting that expand your impact. We go deep on practicals: how to identify the one message you want remembered, why audience-first storytelling changes your tone and content, and the difference between a founder’s origin story and an organizational story that teams can carry. We also cover why a well-crafted book still opens doors—raising speaking fees, accelerating trust, and positioning you as the author-ity in your niche. If you’ve only got twenty minutes a day, you’ll learn exactly where to start and how to collaborate so you actually ship. This conversation is for entrepreneurs, coaches, speakers, and leaders who want to turn scars into strategy and build brands that serve. Come for the mindset shift, stay for the step-by-step path to package your IP without the hype. If this sparks something, share it with a friend who needs a push, subscribe for more bold conversations, and leave a review to tell us your one message you’d want remembered.

    Earned Wisdom, Real Returns

    The loudest voices promise easy money; the real builders talk about gates you forgot to latch, early alarms, and math you can check. We sit down with Aaron Chapman, a former ranch hand and underground miner turned EVP and author, to unpack how real estate investors actually create durable wealth without getting played by hype. Aaron breaks down why “cheapest” is often the costliest mistake, and how skilled operators and smart lending choices change outcomes when markets turn. We go deep on the compounding advantages of 30-year fixed debt: stable payments, rising rents, steady appreciation, amortization, and the sneaky tailwind of inflation. From the Taco Bell index to a one-ounce gold lesson, he shows how a $200K property with 20 percent down can outperform the flashier plays that dominated from 2019 to 2023. If you’ve been tempted by syndications promising double-digit returns, you’ll hear the risks, red flags, and the case for controlling the asset you own. Beyond the numbers, we dig into the habits that separate winners from wishers: get up before the day kicks you, build your foundation before you buy, and choose prevention over cure. Aaron shares the comeback from a life-altering motorcycle crash, the client who found a path to retirement with ten rentals, and the faith that reframes adversity as training rather than punishment. His new book, Redneck Economics, captures these lessons with vivid illustrations and straight talk designed to move you from internalizing the noise to externalizing your plan. Looking to trade hype for hard edges and a plan you control? Press play, take notes, and then take the next step toward assets, discipline, and a future you can stand behind.

    Break Free From Hidden Clutter

    What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with time, talent, or willpower—and everything to do with hidden clutter stealing your energy? We sit down with author and mountaineer Saahil Mehta to unpack the tolerations we’ve normalized: the avoided talks, the “busy” work that hides fear, and the approval chasing that started in childhood and followed us into leadership, love, and health. Saahil breaks clutter into four dimensions—mind, body, relationships, and material life—and shows how leaks in one area flood the rest. We explore why resentment is the compound interest of avoidance, how tiny lapses like repeated lateness erode trust, and how to design tough conversations that actually heal. You’ll hear practical frameworks for setting outcomes, co-creating rules of engagement with a partner, and entering dialogue from curiosity instead of combat. There’s a simple nightly energy audit you can start today: two minutes to spot what drains you and what lifts you, so you can subtract the noise and double down on what works. We also go deep on authenticity and impact. People pleasing can’t buy peace, and even clowns can’t make everyone happy. From niching your work so the right audience finds you to pressing send on the manuscript despite the inner critic, we map the move from fear to freedom. Comparison doesn’t vanish at seven figures, so define your own seven summits—your personal version of success—and build rituals to protect them. When you stop dragging last level baggage, clarity and momentum return fast. If you’re ready to trade inherited expectations for your own metrics and replace overwhelm with a clean, focused life, press play. Then share it with someone who needs the nudge, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Read The Room: Communication Lessons From An Ex-Spy

    If conversation is a superpower, most companies are running on kryptonite. We dive with Don Weber—global communication strategist, human intelligence expert, and former U.S. field operative—into what makes people open up, buy in, and stay loyal, from war zones to boardrooms. When texts replace tough talks and bots gatekeep support, trust evaporates. Don shows how to recover it with presence: read the room, listen first, and choose the right channel for the moment. We explore the hidden math behind modern miscommunication. AI floods hiring with lookalike résumés while starving teams of context. Customer service scripts cut costs and quietly cut revenue. Leaders push top-down memos that morph on the way to the front line. Don breaks down practical fixes: build cross-functional decision rooms before major changes, keep messages repeatable and simple, and empower teams to solve issues in one touch. From greeting customers by name to delivering hard news live, small, human acts compound into retention and referrals no campaign can buy. Don’s field stories underline the stakes. In places where a wrong read could cost a life, he learned to track breath, posture, and micro-expressions—and to let silence do the heavy lifting. That same discipline turns meetings into decisions, negotiations into agreements, and talent into believers. We also tackle leadership myths, from the Jack Welch halo to the idea that volume equals authority. The strongest voice is usually the last to speak, the one that listened the most. If you lead a team, run a brand, or simply want your words to land, this conversation gives you scripts, mindsets, and habits you can use today.

    Deep Tech, Real Impact

    What if our best tools weren’t built to sell ads, but to save lives? We sit down with hacker, inventor, and futurist Pablos Holman to chart a pragmatic path for deep tech—one where cryptography protects freedom online, AI helps eradicate disease, and automation buys back human time for higher purpose. Pablos takes us behind the curtain of the 90s cypherpunk movement to clarify why decentralized money mattered in the first place: not speculation, but liberty. He connects the dots from BitTorrent to Bitcoin and onward to a web where payments, compute, and messaging escape walled gardens. Then we pivot to the work that rarely makes headlines: AI-driven models that simulate outbreaks, optimize vaccine campaigns, and help countries cut off polio and malaria at the source. Think SimCity for public health, with millions of lives at stake—and real wins already logged. We also challenge the myths around work and meaning. As robots absorb dangerous and dull jobs, more free time is coming, and it won’t fulfill us by default. Pablos argues for choosing bigger problems over shallow distractions, from clean energy to next-gen manufacturing and sanitation. His simplest, most actionable idea might be the most powerful: pick one kid and mentor them consistently. If we care about education, let’s deliver the one-to-one attention schools struggle to provide and help curiosity compound. If you’re hungry for technology that matters—decentralization that expands freedom, AI that heals, and engineering that lifts the basics for billions—this conversation is your blueprint.

    Against The Giants: Small Biz Wins

    Think beating big-box brands means slashing prices? Think again. We sit down with Sri Kaza, a seasoned strategist turned small business champion, to unpack how owners can outmaneuver giants with positioning, trust, and community—no coupons required. Sri’s journey from consulting and executive roles to leading a small-business lender gave him a front-row seat to what really drives resilience: relationships, not gimmicks. We dig into why discounting attracts ghosts instead of fans, and how to build a customer base that shows up when it counts. From CrossFit-style community to a brilliantly curated convenience store beside a Tesla charger, we break down memorable examples of differentiation in action. You’ll hear how to communicate value, price with confidence, and design experiences people would fight to keep—so you stop racing to the bottom and start owning your niche. The conversation also gets practical about navigating shocks. COVID and recent tariffs revealed a speed advantage small businesses rarely use: you can talk to customers today, pre-wire changes, test substitutions, and adapt without committees. We explore how to choose your customer, say no with conviction, and avoid self-sabotage on social media. Sri’s philosophy in Unconvention ties it together: align your business with your personal purpose, and profitability and fulfillment become reinforcing, not competing. If you’re a founder, owner, or side-hustler craving a real playbook, this is a clear, grounded roadmap.

    From Near-Fatal Crash To Ageless Energy: How Bob Gilpatrick Rewires Health, Muscle, And Mind

    What if the gap between your age and your energy is wider than you think—and fixable? That’s the wager we make as we sit down with longevity strategist Bob Gilpatrick to unpack why most people lose health, not just time, in their final decade and how to reverse that trend with measurable steps. We trace his journey from a near-fatal crash at 17 to a career spanning plant science roots, healthcare leadership, and breakthroughs that blend targeted nutrition with mind-body mastery. We get practical fast: CRP as a “burn rate” for your body, why keeping it below 0.5 changes everything, and how a complete nutrient strategy powers real mitochondrial energy instead of caffeine jitters. Bob explains epigenetic reprogramming—plant-derived, purified molecules that nudge gene sets for muscle, energy, NAD, and BDNF—plus why they can outperform complex peptide stacks at a fraction of the cost. He pairs these advances with essential building blocks: amino acids, enzymes, and minerals that allow your body to build what your genes request. The result? Faster strength gains, better motivation, and noticeable changes many feel within days. We also go beyond biology to the beliefs that block action. You’ll hear how EFT tapping and havening calm the nervous system, reduce cravings, and resolve grief or fear by changing brain states in real time. From cartilage support that challenges “once it’s gone, it’s gone” to sustainable weight loss that protects muscle, this episode is a blueprint for adding strong, clear years—healthspan—to your life. If you’re ready to test, adjust, and prove it in your own bloodwork and daily energy, this conversation gives you the steps and the science.

    From Food Pyramid Myths To Measurable Wellness

    What if you could quantify the five biggest drivers of chronic illness, then fix the right one first? That’s the promise of MVX Plus, a simple, low‑cost blood test that scores malnutrition, toxicity, inflammation, infection, and mitochondrial dysfunction—then turns the results into a clear plan. We sit down with Dr. Darren Schmidt to unpack why so many people spin their wheels on diets and prescriptions, and how a focus on cellular function changes the outcome. We start by challenging the food pyramid mindset and the shaky ground of observational nutrition studies. Instead of worshiping food groups, we get practical about macronutrients. Protein rises as the quiet hero of satiety and metabolic stability, while ultra‑processed foods are engineered to keep you hungry. From there, we dig into real‑world cases: when a patient with lingering gut issues needed steak, not another antimicrobial; when a high MVX score traced back to an acute sinus infection; and how removing toxin exposures can drop your 5‑year risk score in weeks. The takeaway is a blueprint, not a fad. Personalize protein intake, repair digestion so you can actually use it, identify and remove toxic hits, and support mitochondria—sometimes with targeted tools like benfotiamine (B1) to restore energy. We also compare GLP‑1 drugs to low‑carb physiology and explain when each makes sense. If you’re tired of guessing, the MVX framework gives you a compass: run the test, act on the dominant bottleneck, and watch your score head down as your health climbs. Want the data to guide your next move? Order the MVX test at the nhca.com (upper right: MVX test), and if you want hand‑holding, become a patient and track your progress every 6–8 weeks. If this conversation helped, follow, share with a friend who’s stuck, and leave a review so more people can find their way back to real health.
