Doing better and being better requires a mindset shift and a lifestyle shift. Not only that, but it requires failure.
When we look at challenges, failure and loss as gifts, we will inevitably experience immense growth and revolution because what stands before you becomes the path to your zone of genius.
Business Architect, Mike Zeller, says, "I'm going to take the gifts of the obstacles and use them as fuel, use them as my nitro fuel, to grow and catalyze."
After experiencing gut-wrenching failure, loss, and debt as a high-level entrepreneur, Mike knows what rock bottom feels like… but that didn't stop him from learning and trying again. Now, his business has done over $300 million in sales and he helps others get unstuck, find their zone of genius, and fuel momentum that will launch their business to new heights.

Have you ever felt like you've made the wrong career choice? Are you waiting for the right time or the best opportunity to come along so you can take the leap towards your dream life?
Author, entrepreneur, and CEO, Sukhinder Singh Cassidy, has a unique perspective to share with those of you who are afraid of making the wrong career choice or have an unhealthy relationship with risk.
She says that "even when we think we have a failure from which we'll never recover, there's still another move, there's still five more choices to be made."
Your potential for receiving life's rewards isn't limited. Don't get caught up in the one thing that might make you successful in life. Get committed to the process. Put progress over perfection and turn risks into opportunities. This is your time to choose possibility.

Science shows us that sex and intimacy are some of the most bonding human experiences of our lives. So… what happens when religion gets thrown into the mix?
Kat Harris is here to have an eye-opening discussion about boundaries, consent, monogamy, infidelity, shame, and most prominently, waiting until marriage to have sex.
After growing up in the south as a Christian in the peak of the purity movement, Kat moved to New York City and noticed that her thoughts about sex and singleness began to change. She began to question the word of God and why she'd been waiting until marriage to have sex.
As more and more women of faith become burdened with sexual shame, feeling unequipped to confidently explore both the dating world and the world of singleness, Kat is on a mission to free them of their shackles and help them discover their own sexual freedom.
Listen in to gain insight into her journey with dating, desire, and sex, and to learn if (after all her research and inquisition) she's still waiting until marriage.

How we organize our day, the tasks we do at night, our bedtime routine, and our bedding all impact the quality of our sleep.
We all know a person (or two or three) who brag about being able to run on 3-4 hours of sleep… but why? For Susana Saeliu, sleep is the foundation of her day… and for good reasons! "If I get a good night's sleep, I perform best the next day and I want to be the best version of myself every day," she says. Do you agree?
Susana is an adrenaline junkie, but she also values rest and relaxation. As an entrepreneur, car racing enthusiast, and EDM fan, she's no stranger to a fast-paced life of excitement. Though, to be able to keep up with such a demanding life, you need high-quality sleep and bedding that's perfect for you.
Thus, Pluto Pillow, the first and only custom sleep pillow that's crafted to your body stats, how you sleep, and what you like, was born.

"… and yet, it was the greatest growth period of my life," he says, "I was fighting for my life for one year, it took 10 years to fully recover."

The pandemic, political disagreements, war… there are so many sources of separation and loneliness in the world. That's why, now more than ever, we must shed light on the importance of human connection, attunement, and cultivating presence within ourselves as well as with others.
Meaningful connection is an innate, primal need from the time we're born to the time we return to the dirt of the Earth.
When we find that connection, we enter a flow state and even our brain waves become synchronized. Imagine the immense change and growth we could experience if we put more energy into connecting with ourselves and one another!
Dr. Edward Bodkin and Ashley Pallathra have co-authored the insightful book, Missing Each Other, that delves into the idea that learning about yourself makes it easier to connect with others. Listen in as they share glorious pieces of wisdom about self-awareness, human connection, and attunement.

Having been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder Type 2 at the age of 20, Scout Sobel dropped out of college, couldn't keep a job, and struggled to function as a part of society.
It wasn't until she found entrepreneurship a few years later that she found a purpose and a drive to be productive, creative, and take control of her life.
Now, Scout Sobel is the Author of The Emotional Entrepreneur, Host of the Okay Sis Podcast, and Founder of Scout's Agency. Most of all, she's an advocate for people, especially women, to persevere in building the business of their wildest dreams, despite the hardships, challenges, or mental illness they experience.
Many people fear entrepreneurship not because of a lack of resources, funding, or education, but because they're afraid to put themselves out there and start the journey. Do you resonate?

Well, we can!
