My guest this week is Michael O’Dell.
Michael O’Dell is the Warriors Heart Command Center Executive Director and Former US Marines Corps CPL.
At the age of 19, Michael left his family and the hill country behind to become a United States Marine. During his service to our country Michael was stationed in Hawaii and attached to 3rd battalion 3rd Marine AKA Americas Battalion. His unit quickly deployed and continuously rotated in and out of theater.
Michael was a part of and involved with multiple missions which were mostly executed at night training the Iraqi Army, as well as maintaining a high level of readiness in the battalion’s motor pool. CPL O’Dell was recognized for promotion and multiple awards for his performance and dedication to the corps and was honorably discharged from service in November of 2010.
Shortly after Michael’s return home to the Texas hill country, the struggle with addiction and PTSD began to take control of his life. As a Marine, Michael would refuse to admit to his problems. Michael continued to suffer from his addiction until it landed him in prison.
Michael has been sober since March 2016 and has dedicated himself to helping the warrior class make the crucial decision to choose life and finally return home.

My guest this week is Jeff Einstein.
Jeff Einstein is a former digital media pioneer long ago turned digital apostate. His digital bona fides include the first major how-to book series on personal computers and the first digital advertising agency -- both dating way back to the mid-1980s.
He turned digital apostate in the early 21st century when he became the first to explore what he called our default meta-addiction to all things media and all things digital. What happens, he asked, to our time and money and freedom when addiction suddenly becomes the social rule rather than the exception? What happens, he asked, when every function of our lives is suddenly and irrevocably institutionalized by runaway digital scale?
Jeff currently publishes the Quality of Life Resistance Movement Substack and is crowdfunding his latest feature documentary, The Rise of Huxwell, on Rise of Huxwell.

My guest this week is Adrienne Simmons.
Adrienne Simmons comes to us as the founder of the Energy Edge: Unlock Your Energy Potential coaching program.
When Adrienne hit her 50s, she knew she had a problem. Her energy levels had taken a noticeable dive, and she was in a rut on every level. That there was a problem was obvious. The reason for it was not.
Thus, began a 6-month period starting with a 180% mindset shift. She lost the 15 lbs I'd gained over the last year & half, rebuilt herself physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. Her energy and vitality had been restored.
Today Adrienne works with corporate professionals, small business owners and those with a foot in both worlds.
