Today’s guest is Mike Johnson. You may recognize Mike from his appearance on Season 15 of The Bachelorette or perhaps from Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise. You have also listened to his new hit podcast “Talking it Out.” I must say what most intrigued me about Mike wasn’t his reality television career, it was his backstory and how well he articulates the exact steps he used to get him out of one of the darkest moments in his life which we can all relate to.
Mike quickly faced some unforeseen adversity as a kid as he was sexually abused and what came to follow was years and years of turmoil as he found himself becoming a bit of a rebel as he burglarized homes as a teenager and had unhealthy relationships with women. Mike then joined the Airforce and worked as an IT specialist for years before becoming a financial advisor
This is where things took a bad turn for him. Although financially, he was crushing it, a relationship that ended with a woman that he was madly in love with broke his heart and led him down a path of self-sabotage, misery and depression. Mike’s path out of this rut was largely due to his obsession with personal development and self-discovery. He began working on his identity, his mindset, reading books, being of service to others, and exercising.
Today, Mike shares it all. He will walk you through step by step as to how exactly he transformed himself from someone that was completely heartbroken and hopeless to starring on one of the biggest reality shows that have ever existed. We also chat about a universal formula that can work for anyone who is struggling to get out of a rut and get motivated again. Mike highlights the process of being on the Bachelorette and our convo also gets into financial planning and Mike gives some of his top tips to become financially fit. We also discuss why adopting a lifestyle around something is much more important than having discipline and more!

Today’s guest on the show is Cheryl Burke. You might recognize her from reoccurring role as a professional dancer on Dancing With the Stars which she will make her 24th appearance on in just a few weeks.
What really inspires me about Cheryl is her recovery journey and her willingness to share so openly. She has gone through and overcome a lot. The trauma started by witnessing her parents divorce and being molested all before she entered Elementary school. This led to more debauchery as she found herself in and out of toxic relationships, not going to college and developing unhealthy habits around things such as alcohol. With all that said, there has been one constant in her life and that’s been her ability to dance. Her talents in dance led her to landing her spot on Dancing with the Stars roughly 15 years ago. Cheryl has won 2 mirror balls and was the first female professional to win on the show.
Cheryl’s journey with alcohol, unfortunately, stayed with her throughout most of this process which included drinking before going on television. 3 years ago it all changed for her when she decided to get sober after her Father passed away. She was able to strong-arm her way through sobriety until this past summer when she hit a crossroads that led her to join the 12 step community to further her recovery journey.
Today we talk about it all. Cheryl opens up about what happened that made her enter AA after 2 1/2 years of sobriety and how it has helped her. We get into her back story and what led her to use alcohol as a way to numb the pain. Cheryl shares why even reaching the pinnacle of her career as a dancer left her feeling lonely and miserable.
We discuss her comeback journey and what types of things have helped her transform the pain into purpose. Cheryl chats about why it was crucial for her to open up emotionally and how it has led to massive growth for herself and her marriage. She opens up about her struggles with body dysmorphia and of course we also get into Dancing With The Stars including why this season will be different for Cheryl and more!

He has over 35 years of experience studying how the mind and gut interact and how it all pertains to health and disease. His work has been supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and has published over 370 peer-reviewed scientific articles. He has also written two books of his own including The Mind-Gut Connection and his newly released book the Gut Immune connection.
I felt like I could have spent all day talking with him as this subject is something that is extremely fascinating to me and it’s also very timely given the times we are in. Our conversation today is super informative and tactical and I can promise you that you will feel empowered to take action on your health after listening. We get into the nuts and bolts of it all. We discuss the mind-gut-immune system connection and why it is so important to take care of them all.
Dr. Mayer shares why chronic stress is one of the most destructive things for your brain, gut health, and immune system and how to fix it. We chat about what else is at the root cause of poor brain and gut health and immune function and you will find out why what you eat plays such a pivotal role in all of this.
He talks about what you can do to improve your gut health, brain health, and immune system and how to know if each of these is not functioning properly. Our convo also gets into probiotics and if in fact, they are actually useful as well as what you can do when your body begins to feel off balance.

Have you ever cheated on your partner? Or flirted with people that you didn’t like or using people for attention? Or perhaps you continue to bounce from relationship to relationship? Maybe you feel like you can’t be happy unless you’re getting attention or in a relationship?
If you answered yes, you MAY classify as being a sex or love addict. But don’t worry, the conversation today will help you better understand if you really are one and what you can do about it.
Today’s guest is Brianne Davis. Brianne is an actress. She’s a podcast host. She’s an author. But, her real claim to fame is that she is a recovering sex and love addict. Her addiction to love began when she felt a euphoric rush after cheating on her 8th-grade boyfriend and quickly evolved into years of debauchery. She has been sober from sex and love for nearly 12 years and ironically her then-boyfriend and now husband was the one to help her find some local meetings to start her transformation.
We unpack it all today. Brianne shares her incredible story of overcoming love and sex addiction and the convo gets into who Brianne was in her past compared to who she is today. We discuss what it actually feels like to be a sex and love addict, what’s underneath all of it, and her response to those that think love addiction is an illusion. Brianne and I chat about the differences between sex and love addiction and how to know if you would classify as an addict, this actually might surprise you. We get into attention-seeking and social media and the role it plays in all of this as well as how she currently sets boundaries and handles her relationships of today including her marriage. Of course, we chat about how to do the work without going to meetings, if you should date during this process and how to have healthy relationships moving forward. Brianne opens up about the moment she knew her love was real and so much more!

By now I am sure you have heard of Jake and Logan Paul and how they are taking the sport of boxing to a whole new level. As you know, I have the utmost respect for anyone who puts themselves out there to achieve what they want in life and this is no different. With that said, Jake will face by far his toughest opponent yet, former UFC champion Tyron Woodley this Sunday. Tyron is a seasoned striker and much more experienced than any of the others that Jake has defeated. How does he prep for this? How does he take his training to the next level?
Insert Anthony “Pretty Boy” Taylor who is also today’s guest. Anthony is an up-and-coming fighter and has won his last five fights. He is Jake’s full time sparring and training partner and they have a special relationship. A relationship so special that Jake gave Anthony an opportunity of a lifetime to fight boxer and “Love Island” star, Tommy Fury as an undercard fight the same night that Jake fights Woodley. To make things even more interesting, Taylor has a story of his own. Anthony is a former stripper turned fighter and hit rock bottom just a few years ago after losing a boxing match. He found himself on the verge of homelessness and was experiencing thoughts of suicide. With the help of a mentor and coach, he was able to revamp his mindset, get back on his feet and win a few fights.
Our conversation today gets into it all. Anthony shares his comeback story and how he made different choices and revamped his mindset to get to where he is today. We talk in depth about his incredible relationship with Jake Paul including how they met, what it’s like training with him, and lessons he has learned from Jake. Anthony reveals who he thinks will win this Sunday and what’s next for him whether he wins or not and so much more!

One of my favorite conversations to have on the show are those that amplify incredible stories of recovery and hope. Jen Cutting has one of the wildest and most inspirational stories I have ever come across. Today Jen has been sober for nearly 4 years, is a recovery warrior, and works closely with the prison system to help other women.
This would have seemed nearly impossible not long ago as Jen has been incarcerated multiple times for drug-fueled felony charges. In fact, she even had and raised her daughter while she was in prison.
Today she will walk you through her shocking and moving journey that is filled with many highs and many lows.
Jen grew up in Staten Island and like many, was raised in a very financially stable home with two parents. But, she found herself being smothered by their protection and control and began to question her self worth.
Shortly after high school she met a man that was nearly 10 years older than her and that relationship gave her a taste of what manipulation, addiction and artificial love felt like.
After breaking it off with him, she used his credit card to buy a plane ticket and move to Florida where she quickly got a job as an exotic dancer at a local strip club. On her 21st birthday she was introduced to cocaine, and that’s where things took a turn for the worst, as it quickly turned into a lifestyle. It got so bad, that she moved back to Staten Island before her 22nd birthday.
While she thought it could be a catalyst to help her get her life back together it actually had the opposite effect. She met another man, began to strip at another local club and was prescribed Vicodin after an injury. Jen was prescribed Vicodin for months and months after her initial script and found herself in the depths of opiate addiction. After her doctor left, she was forced to get her fix illegally. So, she found men at the club who could get her pills and eventually this lead to her trying and shooting heroin.
The debauchery continued and her and her then boyfriend were caught stealing to support their heroin habit. She was arrested on a grand larceny charge and sentenced to time in prison. She does her time, gets out and begins right back where she left off. She catches yet another grand larceny charge and ends up in a diversion program where she was able to kick the opiate addiction for good. Shortly after her release, she fell in love with another convicted felon and became pregnant.
After violating her parole, she found herself back in prison again but this time facing a much more challenging stint as she was pregnant and her due date was during her incarceration. Not only does she successfully have her daughter, but she was also able to properly raise her with the help of other inmates and the prison’s nursery program.
You would think that after all of this, Jen would finally throw in the towel. Well, she didn’t. She was arrested for selling meth and found herself incarcerated once again. To make things even worse, she lost custody of her daughter.
Today, she has full custody, has been sober for nearly 4 years, and is giving back by helping others in recovery and in the prison system. She is here to tell you the story of how this all happened and more.

Today’s guest is John Wolf of Onnit. Onnit is an Austin, TX-based health and wellness brand focused on encouraging a peak level of performance through the best in nutritional supplementation, health-conscious foods, and unconventional fitness equipment and training.
John Wolf is Onnit's Chief Fitness Officer, and an expert in unconventional training methods such as kettlebell, steel club, and suspension training. With 16-plus years of experience in the fitness industry, he has worked with rehab clients and athletes of all levels including Joe Rogan. He moves like Spider Man and can deadlift more than 500 pounds any day of the week.
Our discussion today digs deep into John’s story and how fitness saved his life from the depths of addiction. John was hooked on different drugs including meth, alcohol, and cocaine. To overcome these addictions he completely transformed his habits and used exercise and martial arts to channel his negative behaviors into something positive. This all couldn’t have been done without the help of an unsung hero who found him on the side of the road drunk and drove him home. That can ride was the moment that ultimately led to him making the transformation for good. We talk about the ins and outs of his journey including what caused him to use the drugs and how he crawled out of the darkness.
John shares more in-depth about Onnit and Aubrey Marcus including how they met, what Onnit’s mission is and how it’s different from other fitness companies. We chat about different mindset subjects including goal setting, overcoming plateaus, and the importance of the inner dialogue. Our convo also gets into different fitness topics like programming, how to stay consistent and how to know if your workout program is actually effective.
John also talks about what it’s like to train Joe Rogan and more!

Today’s episode is not only timely but truly one of the most impactful and informative conversations you might hear. This conversation is about drug addiction. A report recently released stated there were over 93,000 drug overdose deaths in 2020 which is nearly a 30% increase from the year before.
My fear is that these numbers will continue to climb. This episode is going to be a masterclass on drug addiction and recovery. It is going to feature different parts from three previously released conversations surrounding these topics. We will talk statistics, causes and solutions. You will discover contributing factors and also hear a few transformation stories.
The first part will feature renowned interventionist and hostage negotiator Heather Hayes as she provides some staggering statistics on what we are facing, what’s causing the epidemic and how to know if someone is having addiction issues. Then you will hear from health and wellness influencer Arielle Lorre and Internet personality Mike Majlak as they both share their riveting stories of overcoming addiction. The episode will then become more solution-oriented as you hear from Heather again on practical steps to take if someone is suffering with addiction as well as advice from Arielle and Mike.
My hope is that after listening to this conversation you will feel educated, hopeful, and inspired to take action or be prepared to take action if you or a loved one are ever suffering from addiction.

Today’s guest is Drew Manning. Drew is a personal trainer, a New York Times Best Selling author and a podcast host. He is most notably known for his “Fit2Fat2Fit” journey where he purposely gained and lost over 60 lb to better understand himself, his clients and what it actually takes to achieve and maintain weight loss.
We get into to the why, how and what of his weight loss journey as well as the lessons gained from doing it. I ask him if there was ever a moment where he was ready to give up and what he learned from the client perspective about the complexity of weight loss. Drew gets super vulnerable as our convo shifts into talking about his struggles with porn addiction. We discuss including how it’s evolution, how he overcame it started, how it evolved, how he overcame it and the role that religion played. Drew shares some specifics including tools he uses with his clients to help them optimize their mindset and overall health. We also chat about co-parenting and how he healed his relationship with his ex-wife after his infidelity and his porn addiction lead to their divorce. This convo is real, It’s raw and it’s one that I think y’all will dig.

Today’s guest is Jessica Zweig. Jessica is a branding expert and best selling author of “Be. A No Bullsh*t Guide to Increasing Your Self-worth and Net Worth by Simply Being Yourself."
The book is a direct reflection of our conversation today as well as the principles and tactics she lives by and teaches at her premium branding agency Simply Be. Jessica has worked with many A-list companies including Google, Nike, and Microsoft just to name a few.
Our discussion today is a masterclass on personal branding. We talk about why everyone needs to be thinking of themselves as a personal brand and how branding yourself can actually help you grow personally and not just professionally. Jessica unveils the blueprint to creating an image that lasts and what separates a “good brand” from one that is “spectacular.” She also shares why you shouldn’t go to social media to process your emotions and what she advises her clients to do instead. We dive deep into what to post and how to really connect with your audience in an authentic way. Oh and by the way we also cover how Jessica was essentially bankrupt in every area of her life and how she turned it all around to create the ultimate comeback story.
