Invite Serendipity with James Eder

Connection isn’t something you “network” your way into. It’s something you practice—through attention, courage, and the willingness to be moved by the moment in front of you.

My guest on today’s show is James Eder, author, entrepreneur, speaker, and work–life coach with more than 20 years of leadership experience. He co-founded Student Beans (part of Pion), a global platform that helps brands build trust with Gen Z through verification, insights, and engagement. His new book, The Collision Code, donates all royalties to charities including the British Heart Foundation, Cardiomyopathy UK, The King’s Trust, and Young Enterprise.

In our conversation, James shares the health wake-up call that put everything in sharper focus for him, and the unexpected gifts that came with it. We explore how serendipity becomes more than luck when you choose intention. James breaks down his “code” for creating meaningful collisions—permission, confidence, and context—and how vulnerability quietly opens doors that strategy can’t. We also talk about living with mortality in view, why gratitude shifts the nervous system fast, and how small moments of courage can reroute an entire life.

You may walk away from this episode wanting to say yes to the next small moment that taps you on the shoulder. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Flipping Your Story with Joel Steele

Success isn’t about avoiding failure—it’s about transforming it into fuel. Joel Steele, my guest on today’s show, went from facing jail time and bankruptcy to owning stakes in a professional sports team and getting an NBA championship ring. His journey from restaurant failure and half a million dollars in debt to financial independence wasn’t luck—it was a deliberate practice of flipping what he calls his “Life Switch.”

In our conversation, Joel elaborates on the “three P’s” that power this transformation. He breaks down why most people suppress the very emotions that hold their greatest wisdom and how tuning into these feelings becomes your personal roadmap. We discuss practical strategies to delete doubt the way you would skip a bad song, why asking yourself “why” in critical moments changes everything, and how to recognize when your life switch has flickered off.

Joel shares the psychology behind his turnaround, including how staring at a jail cell as a teenager set him on a path to help others, and how his lowest point—getting robbed while drowning in debt—became the catalyst for his biggest breakthroughs. We also explore the power of writing your own story one day at a time.

This episode offers a framework for turning struggles into strength. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Hacking Your Health with James Schmachtenberger

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when you understand the body as an interconnected system, not a collection of parts.

My guest on today’s show is James Schmachtenberger, co-founder and CEO of Qualia Life. He applies complex systems science to human health, building products designed to support the body at a foundational level. His path into this work began with severe adrenal failure in his early twenties. An experimental NAD therapy didn’t just restore his health. It expanded his empathy, focus, and cognitive capacity in ways he hadn’t experienced before.

In our conversation, we explore why high-dose, periodic supplementation works differently than daily dosing. We discuss why stem cell support and senescent cell removal matter for regeneration, and what happens mentally when brain chemistry comes back into balance. James shares firsthand experience with elimination diets, PRP therapy, and methylene blue. We also unpack the neurochemistry behind procrastination and how social media reshapes attention.

At the core of it all is mitochondrial health. James explains why energy, resilience, and clarity begin there, and why treating the body as a complex system opens healing pathways that isolated fixes miss.

This episode will change how you think about supplements, cellular health, and what’s possible when the body gets the right support. So without any further ado, on with the show!

AI-Generated IRS Audits, Yikes! with Diane Kennedy

Financial stress drains your energy and blocks your potential. When you’re constantly worried about money or caught off guard by tax problems, there’s less bandwidth for personal growth, health optimization, and the things that actually matter to you.

My guest on today’s show is Diane Kennedy, CPA, bestselling author, and founder of the Kennedy Tax Strategy Lab. She helps entrepreneurs and investors keep more of what they earn through smart, legal tax strategies.

In our conversation, we discuss how AI is changing IRS audits and what you need to know to protect yourself. Diane breaks down practical deductions most people miss—like the Augusta Rule and bonus depreciation—that can free up thousands of dollars. We explore how to structure your business properly, why record-keeping matters more than ever, and the surprising trend of medical migration as healthcare costs push people overseas. Diane also shares her beekeeping practice and how connecting with nature and community keeps her grounded.

This episode gives you concrete steps to reduce your tax burden, protect your assets, and reclaim money you can invest in your health, growth, and the life you want to build.

Riding the AI Wave with Sam Richter

Most people use AI like a search engine—typing in requests and hoping for decent results. But real mastery comes from understanding how to extract strategic insight, automate what drains you, and reclaim time for what makes you uniquely human.

My guest on today’s show is Sam Richter, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and pioneer in AI-powered sales intelligence. He builds tools that help organizations accelerate results through smarter use of technology, and he’s spent two decades figuring out how to make complex systems work for real people.

In our conversation, we discuss the difference between traditional AI and generative AI, and why that matters for how you approach prompts. Sam breaks down his GUIDE framework for writing effective prompts that reduce hallucinations and deliver better results. We get into custom GPTs, system prompts, and how to automate repetitive tasks so you can focus on creative work. Sam shares real examples, like helping a company choose the optimal warehouse location in seconds. He explains agentic AI, memory features, and why treating AI like an intern gets better outcomes. We also explore the mindset shift required to thrive in this new era.

This episode will give you practical tools to work smarter, free up hours every week, and refocus your energy on what only you can do. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Healing Generational Trauma with Emunah Love

The patterns running your life aren’t all yours. Some were inherited from parents, grandparents, or experiences you don’t consciously remember, and they’re blocking you from the clarity and connection you seek.

My guest on today’s show is Emunah Love, clairvoyant healer, spiritual teacher, and founder of the Sacred Love and Evolving Soul Academies. She works with higher beings to help people clear ancestral wounds and step into their power.

In our conversation, we discuss how she discovered her Hebrew name through a profound experience in Israel and what that taught her about faith. Emunah explains cellular imprints—the energetic programming from ancestors, past lives, and trauma—and how to clear them at the root instead of managing symptoms. She shares her journey from losing her father at eight to becoming a channel for healing work that shifts people in single sessions. We explore how intention shapes reality, why protecting your energy matters more than most people realize, and a prophecy from medieval France about souls returning to walk the way of love. Emunah also breaks down soul contracts, divine timing, and why certain challenges show up in your life.

This episode will help you see what’s been running in the background, give you tools to release it, and open space for the life you’re actually here to live. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Intuition as Your Compass with Ava Carmichael

Intuition isn’t just something you tap into on a meditation retreat. It can be a sharp, practical tool for making better business decisions, creating more honest content, and building real connection. My guest on today’s show, Ava Carmichael, is a digital marketing strategist and former fashion designer who has spent her career learning how to tell the difference between fear and genuine inner guidance. This interview first aired on my other podcast, Marketing Speak, but I’m sharing it here because Ava’s approach reaches far beyond marketing—it’s really about how we navigate work and life.

In our conversation, Ava talks about what it feels like when ideas come from somewhere deeper than the conscious mind. She breaks down the subtle but crucial gap between intuition and fear. She describes intuitive guidance as “breadcrumbs”—small signals that often lead to surprising synchronicities. Ava shares the moment she chose to leave fashion and trust her inner knowing, and how she now pairs intuition with data to make smarter decisions. She also reveals the turning point when she realized she could no longer split her energy between two competing paths.

This episode invites you to notice the signals your own intuition is sending—and to trust them more boldly in your career, your creative work, and your everyday choices. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Optimize Your Thinking with Matt Church

Most of us have never been taught how to think—we’ve been given information to memorize, but not the frameworks to think full-spectrum. My guest on today’s show is Matt Church, founder of Thought Leaders, a highly respected conference presenter, and author of eleven books, including Rise Up: An Evolution in Leadership. Matt is deeply intuitive and experiences much of life beyond the observable and explainable, making complex concepts simple and actionable.

This interview first aired on my other podcast, Marketing Speak, but the wisdom Matt shares transcends marketing and speaks directly to how we access and organize knowledge itself.

In our conversation, we discuss the three scaffolds of knowledge—exploratory, experiential, and emergent—and why the scientific method alone can’t capture the full spectrum of wisdom available to us. Matt introduces his breakthrough methodology called the Pink Sheet, a visual framework for capturing and cataloging intellectual property that breaks personal bias and expands how you communicate ideas. We explore the Vedic traditions of non-duality and why labeled deficiencies like ADD are actually superpowers in the right context. We break down the difference between skeptics and cynics, and how thinking vertically and horizontally transforms your ability to reach diverse audiences.

This episode will stretch your mind into new dimensions and give you a practical tool to organize the wisdom you carry within. So, without any further ado, on with the show!

Finding Inner Calm in a Chaotic World with Matt Diggity

An inner journey often starts with a quiet hunch that something isn’t quite right—sleepless nights, a racing mind, or a persistent sense that life is happening in fast-forward. My guest on today’s show is Matt Diggity, a well-known SEO entrepreneur who has turned that unease into a path of deep inner exploration.

Matt speaks openly about using psychedelics from a young age, losing both parents in his early twenties, and how creeping anxiety became the wake-up call that pushed him to seek real change. In this conversation, we explore how psychedelic journeys reveal states of bliss and acceptance, and how therapy, IFS parts work, TRE, and somatic breathwork help him turn those temporary states into lasting traits. We talk about stored trauma in the body, shared visionary experiences, past-life regression, and what it means to parent and build businesses in a world increasingly shaped by AI and distraction.

This episode invites you to see your own discomfort as guidance and offers grounded tools for transforming anxious, fragmented living into a more connected, peaceful way of being. So without any further ado, on with the show!

Growing Through Trauma with Janelle Bruland

Unresolved trauma doesn’t always announce itself with obvious symptoms—sometimes it hides beneath a successful exterior, quietly shaping your reactions and limiting your potential. Janelle Bruland, my guest on today’s show, is an award-winning entrepreneur, executive leadership coach, and author of two transformative books: The Success Lie and Your Way Back to Happy. She built a janitorial startup from her living room into a multi-state operation with 500 employees, yet discovered through a brain scan years later that she was carrying undiagnosed PTSD from decades of living with addiction and abandonment.

In our conversation, we explore how entrepreneurs often dismiss their own trauma as insignificant compared to war veterans or abuse survivors, yet these “small-t” traumas accumulate and manifest as physical illness, reactive behaviors, and invisible barriers to authentic leadership. Janelle shares her healing journey through EMDR, holistic modalities, and spiritual practices that helped her release memories stored in high definition within her brain. We discuss the connection between grief and disease, the power of accepting the present moment as divinely orchestrated, and why slowing down to spend intentional time with loved ones matters more than any business achievement.
