We’re talking neuroscience, rhythm, AI, and how Brian went from small-town Maine musician to pioneering a prescription music product that’s helping people walk again.

Whether you’re a caregiver, a stroke survivor, or just a curious wellness nerd, this episode is packed with mind-blowing insights and hope.

[20:15] – Universal Music Group playlists + clinical precision
[25:30] – Why this is the future of at-home healing

Music is more than just feel-good vibes; it’s a proven tool for recovery. If you or someone you love is navigating life after a stroke or living with Parkinson’s, this episode will open your mind (and your heart) to what’s possible. Healing can happen, rhythm by rhythm.

Authentic Self Transformation with Peter Kolat: From Burnout to Breakthrough

In this episode, transformational coach Peter Kolat and I sit down for an unscripted conversation about authentic self-transformation, identity, and the mindset shifts that change everything.

We dive into Peter’s journey from communist Poland to becoming a transformational coach and author, and how his story shaped the way he helps people rewrite theirs. We talk about what it takes to stop living on autopilot, break through old beliefs, and create a life that actually feels like your own.

This episode is full of real talk, personal stories, a little sass (because of course), and the kind of insights that stick with you long after you hit pause.

In this episode on authentic self-transformation, we open up about
[5:45] Peter’s story: growing up in communist Poland and coming to America
[12:30] “Mindset” vs. “Mindshift” and why words matter
[18:20] Using your vision as a decision-making tool
[23:00] What happens when you finally ask for help
[35:50] Peter’s book My Authentic Rebirth and why it’s not just a read, it’s a workbook

👤 Peter Kolat’s Bio:

Peter Kolat is not your average motivational rah-rah. He’s a transformational powerhouse who’s been called the “Polish Tony” by his students, but don’t worry, he’s shorter and way funnier.

After landing in America at 14 with zero English and one suitcase (true story), he went on to become a Top 100 Most Influential People Online (according to Fast Company magazine), is a 2-time Transformational Coach of the Year, co-host of the Lifeonaire Show, and the author of the mind-bending new book “The Authentic Self Rebirth- A Simple, Proven Framework to Break Free and Become Who You’re Meant to Be.” — a 4D interactive journey that’s flipping the personal development world on its head.

He’s spoken on over 100 stages, helped 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs across 16 industries, and most importantly, he knows how to break through the BS stories holding you back, in less time than it takes to microwave your leftover pierogi.

Get ready to shift your mind, shake up your beliefs, and laugh a little too hard along the way…
Polish Peter Kolat is the transformational coach who’ll help you meet the real you (yes, the one that’s been waiting to be reborn).

Ep 59: Healing, Sobriety, Stem Cells & SAVERS: My Top Takeaways from the Biohacking Conference

Description:

Ever left an event feeling so lit up that you wanted to shout it from the rooftops? That’s this week’s show.

In this solo episode, I’m taking you inside one of the most jam-packed wellness and biohacking events I’ve ever attended. You’ll hear personal insights from Dave Asprey’s Beyond Conference (formerly named Biohacking Conference), including a healing moment I wasn’t expecting, and the “this changes everything” takeaways that rocked me to my core.

We’re talking brain health, emotional regulation, detoxification, quantum healing, conscious capitalism, and yes—a doctor who pulled a laser out of his pocket and aimed it at my head (and something in my elbow shifted).

Some featured voices include:

[5:00] Dr. Joe Dispenza, on reprogramming the subconscious and the healing power of the mind
[7:00] James Nestor, author of Breath, on the science (and urgency) of how we breathe
[9:50] Christian Drapeau, from StemRegen, on the use of stem cells in the treatment of long-term degenerative disease
[11:55] Hal Elrod, founder of the Miracle Morning, and his SAVERS practice
[15:05] Vani Hari, aka The Food Babe, on the battle to keep toxins off your plate
[20:37] Jirka Rysavy, Gaia’s elusive founder, on next-level energy healing and personal power
[22:42] Dr. Jerry Tennant, author of Healing Is Voltage, on frequencies, trauma, and cellular healing
[28:35] Daymond John, who opened up about addiction, entrepreneurship, and reclaiming health

You don’t need to be perfect. Just present. Whether that means skipping the soda, booking the sauna, or tossing those sketchy snack bars, the next right step is always enough. Biohacking isn’t about trends and hacks; it’s about learning to support your body and mind so you can actually live your life.

Ep. 55 | Climbing Mental Mountains: One Man’s Mission to Make Mental Health Help More Accessible

Warning: This episode includes discussion of depression, suicidal thoughts, and mental health struggles. It's raw and real, but also filled with hope, healing, and the power of showing up for yourself (and others).

We’re talking about climbing mental mountains, the kind you don’t see on a map.

In this episode, my friend Keith Batenhorst shares his experience with scaling mountains, from panic attacks and self-medication to scaling Grand Teton, Mount Whitney, and Kilimanjaro.

But this isn’t just about the peaks. It’s about the valleys in between and how Keith found his purpose in building the Mental Mountains Project, a nonprofit that helps others access life-saving therapy by covering the costs.

We talk about what it means to show up when everything inside you says to quit, and how choosing vulnerability and community over perfection can change the entire trajectory of a life. Or in Keith’s case, many lives.

🎧In this episode:
[03:30] Mental health journey begins: Panic attacks, isolation & self-medication
[20:45] The turning point: A mentor, a goal, and Grand Teton
[50:00] Reaching the summit… and waking up the next day
[58:30] From pain to purpose: The Mental Mountain Project
[1:12:15] Miles for Mental Health + fundraising with heart

If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or unsure how to keep going, this one’s for you.

It’s about the grit that lives inside all of us. The kind that doesn’t just conquer mountains, it climbs them again and again; not because it’s easy, but because it matters.

BIO:
Keith is the founder of the non-profit Mental Mountains Project, an organization that raises money and awareness for those who can’t afford therapy services. Keith is an aspiring endurance athlete who entered the mountaineering and endurance world in an effort to overcome his own self-limiting beliefs on what he was capable of, while inspiring a community of people burdened by their own self-doubts that they’re capable of still pursuing their dreams. Keith lives by the motto of “showing up,” believing that by consistently choosing his attitude and effort, he can help create a world where all things are possible—for himself and for others.
