• Ep. 150: “The Hero’s Journey: From Rock Bottom to Revolutionary Innovation” (feat. Adam Schell)
    Sep 12 2025

    Send us a text

    Today’s guest is the creator of one of my all-time favorite supplement brands, one that has pioneered psilocybin microdoses blended with herbs, adaptogens & nootropics into truly revolutionary formulas you won’t find anywhere else in the world. But his journey to this point has been anything but easy. After finding major success in the Cannabis industry, a series of bad decisions left him high & dry. Instead of giving up, he found the courage & drive to rebuild from the ground up.

    What unfolded from there is the essence of the hero’s journey, a story of loss, resilience, and rebirth. In this conversation, we explore that journey in depth: his perspective on the arc of human evolution & how to recognize the phase you’re currently in, how to win friends & positively influence people, and so much more.

    He’s not only a visionary entrepreneur but also one of my favorite people in the world, and by the end of this episode, I’m confident you’ll understand exactly why.

  • Ep. 149: “Strength, Surrender & the Courage to Follow Your Calling” (feat. Mike Salemi)
    Sep 5 2025

    Send us a text

    At just 19 years old, today’s guest was already obsessed with powerlifting, squatting an incredible 605 pounds completely naturally. On the outside, it looked like he was destined for greatness. But behind the records and medals, injuries began piling up. He bounced from practitioner to practitioner, each one promising answers, yet leaving him with the same nagging pain. Hope was fading fast…until he discovered the work of Paul Chek. That moment became a turning point. His focus shifted from simply working out to also working in, sparking a whole new vision for his life.

    That vision led him to realize his true dream: supporting men in their journey of healing and growth. But to pursue it, he had to make one of the toughest choices of his life, walking away from his family’s successful business. On paper, it offered good money and security, but deep down, he knew it was slowly eating away at him. Stepping into the unknown, he set off on his own path, committed to men’s work, and in the process, found his soul.

    In today’s episode, we’ll explore his powerful journey, the wisdom he carries for others walking a similar path, and what it truly means to align with your calling.

  • Ep. 148: “From Wall Street to Inner Peace: Rewriting the Meaning of Success” (feat. Cal Callahan)
    Aug 29 2025

    Send us a text

    On the outside, today’s guest looked like he had it all, a thriving career as a financial trader in Chicago, a life that many would envy, and the kind of success that makes people assume you’ve got everything figured out. But behind that polished exterior, he carried a heavy truth: a constant drive to push harder, do more, and prove himself. That pressure left him feeling unfulfilled within, disconnected from his family, and trapped in a cycle of striving without peace.

    Everything changed in 2017, when he found himself caught in the middle of the Las Vegas mass shooting. In that life-or-death moment, he was struck with the realization that if it had all ended right then, he would leave this world profoundly unhappy. That awakening set him on an inner quest, one that would take him from chasing outer success to uncovering true peace, self-love, and freedom within.

    In today’s episode, you’ll hear the story of that journey, the lessons he learned along the way, and how life feels now that he’s come through to the other side. This conversation will pull on your heartstrings & inspire you to find your own version of peace.

  • Ep. 147: "Turning Pain Into Purpose: Healing the Human Experience" (feat. Julian Bermudez)
    Aug 22 2025

    Send us a text

    Some stories hit you in the heart before they even reach your ears, and today’s conversation is one of them. My guest’s life began in pain, heartache, and a childhood that left him feeling alone, not good enough, and deeply unworthy. To survive, he built walls, thick ones, around his heart. Those walls kept him safe from the chaos and the people his mother brought into his world, but they also kept him from feeling the love and connection he craved.

    It wasn’t until years later, when he found therapy and then stepped into the work himself, that he began to see just how much of his life was shaped by those walls. Through his own healing, he’s turned his mess into his mission, helping others navigate the beautiful, messy complexity of being human.

    His approach is deeply personal and profoundly effective, using somatic work, meditation, and honest self-inquiry to guide his clients back to their natural state of being. In this episode, we talk about his journey, the lessons he’s learned, and the practical tools that can help anyone return to themselves.

    Today’s episode is extra special because I’m sitting down with someone who has had a huge impact on my life over the last few years. Out of all the psychics I’ve worked with, this person has helped me more than anyone else, and the wild thing is, it’s so effortless for them. These gifts have been with them since birth.

    But as is often the case for those born with extraordinary abilities, it hasn’t always been easy. It’s taken years of learning how to protect their energy, set strong boundaries, and fully step into their power. In this conversation, we explore that journey, what it really took to bring those gifts online, plus some of the things we’ve both been feeling in the world lately.

    And if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or energetically heavy, we also share grounded, practical tips for moving through those waves with more ease & clarity. This one is full of insight, laughter, and those “aha” moments that stay with you long after you listen.

    Aug 8 2025

    Send us a text

    Welcome back to the Highly Optimized podcast, the show where we explore what it means to live in full alignment, physically, emotionally, mentally & spiritually.

    Today’s episode is a journey.
    A raw, unfiltered, soul-level transmission about what it really looks like to walk away from the default path…& choose something different.

    My guest today is someone who cracked the code early, someone who looked around, saw the way most people were living, & said:
    "Nah, that’s not for me."

    In this conversation, we dive into what that moment of realization looked like…
    The inner and outer signs that you might be one of those people too…
    And how to begin creating a life that’s built on truth, not obligation.

    We talk about sovereignty.
    We talk about crypto.
    We talk about spiritual evolution.
    And we tell the truth about what it actually takes to live this way, the freedom and the friction.

    So if you’ve ever felt like you were born for something more, this is your episode.
    Let’s get into it…
