Why does personal development, coaching, self-mastery, etc. seem to be so intense and even extreme sometimes? Can't we have fun along the way to optimizing our life? Jason Goldberg thinks so, and in fact he makes sure you laugh just as much as you reflect on your inner self so as to create your ideal outer world.
After spending over a decade in a successful information technology career, he left the corporate world to launch an award-winning transportation start-up followed by cofounding and serving as CEO for a tech firm in partnership with NASA to commercialize technology from the space shuttle program.
He now focuses all of his humor, experience and enthusiasm on being of deep service to inspiring individuals from pro-surfers to CEOs, and countless organizations.

As we go through life we will undoubtedly face challenges; physical, mental, and emotional. How we rise to those occasions and the attitude we have towards them are perhaps the two most determining factors in whether they build us up or tear us down. Juan Guadarrama has been through his share of crucibles; the military, powerlifting, entrepreneurship, fatherhood and so much more but in each endeavor he chooses to lean into the challenge - EMBRACE THE SUCK - to maximize his life experience but also to be a role model for those around him and the next generation of young men that will lead after him.

"Humans need others to survive. Regardless of one's sex, country or culture of origin, age or economic background, social connection is crucial to human development, health, and survival." This quote could not be more true than now as the entire world continues to endure a new norm of social distancing, separation from loved ones, and adopting to the aftermath of the COVID-19 global pandemic. But what are the effects perhaps that have gone unnoticed? What effects have there already been on our quality of life, our mental health, etc.? In this episode I discuss recent clinical evidence, studies, and personal experiences about the healing power of human connection.
