In the past few years, billions of dollars have been spent on homelessness in the LA county alone, yet the impact is questionable at best. The numbers have not changed and the root cause is missed by many.
In this episode we dive into a topic near and dear to my heart, trauma, recovery and in particular, homelessness, the root cause and what each and every one of us can do about it.

Traver Boehm is the author of Today I Rise, and Man UNcivilized. Heās a two time TEDx speaker, menās coach and the founder of the UNcivilized Menās Movement. This movement is radically redefining the way men around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both primal elements of manhood with massive doses of consciousness.
Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches people to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change.
After publishing Today I Rise and receiving an influx of calls specifically from men, Traver began guiding men through their own journey into an actualized version masculinity by asking them these two questions:
āAre you leading or being led?ā And, āWhat are your wounds and what are you doing to heal them?ā
And the movement was born.
Now men all over the world have deemed themselves UNcivilized as they wake up to meditate, feel into their hearts, and train their bodies. Men who can fight, fuck, feed, and feel. And do all four well.

And the numbers continue to grow. Brett has been a professional boxer, professional squash player, rugby league player and started coaching at the age of 10. Everything from swimmers (including national swim teams), greyhounds, racehorses and for the past 20+ years, he has focused on the sport of triathlon. Now he's been asked to coach China's national triathlon team.Few, if any, have his background which enables his unique insight to the nature of animals (including humans) and what makes champions.
In this short, yet potent episode, we get a dose of the truth about our early programming, work, hardship, sacrifice, mentality, building strengths AND weaknesses, and the role of fear, from one of the best in the world.

Prior to Covid, Sherry was an international keynote speaker, television host, and multi-media expert on wellness. She was the Victorian Chair of Nutrition Australia, Melbourne President of Slow Food, and sat on boards that consulted to the Australian government on public health policy.
She moved to Northern Alberta in Nov 2020 to help care for her disabled and aging parents so that they didn't go to a nursing home. Since arriving she has become the Alberta Director for Children's Health Defense conducting over 80 interviews with doctors, nurses, scientists, and victims of mandates. She is the National Wellbeing Director for Life Force Canada and is working on a new multi-media program called Gettin Strong - For Our Kids which she would call her most critical work to date.
Sherry and I dive into her simple food philosophy and the impact this simple way to view things works and heals in the modern world.
We Are Meant to Eat Together
Eat with people whom you love and respect, who love and respect you, and who love and respect food.
Eat with people who are learning to cook, with sincerity of heart; children are a great example of this.
Eat with all your senses, masticating textures, smelling sensuous aromas, tasting luscious flavours.
Eat with people who arenāt afraid to make noises like
ummm, ahhh, and oohh.
Eat with people who arenāt afraid to make a mess, lick their fingers, clean out the bowl, and eat with their hands.
Eat after the perspiration of a rigorous jog, invigorating walk, in the lusty afterglow from a roll in the hay; itās much healthier than smoking a cigarette.
Eat with people who laugh and smile a lot,
people who tell stories and spin yarns.
Eat with people who are generous and share. Full stop.
Eat with all your fondest memories, triumphs through tragedy,
and memories of love.
Eat with people who love to cook and eat.
Eat with people who are gracious and grateful.
Eat with people who are nonjudgmental and forgiving, who can see both sides of the story and still have an opinion.
Eat with love, passion, compassion in your heart,
and while searching your soul.
Eat with people who love life and are genuinely interested in you and the world around you.
And finally, if you eat like this and with people who do and are all these things, pleeease ... invite me for dinner.

Rimma Boshernitsan is the Founder and CEO of DIALOGUE, a multi-disciplinary strategy advisory working at the intersection of people, technology, and society. Helping leaders make sense of the cross-sector forces acting on their business and shape them into meaningful action for growth.
We dive into the impact artists have had on life, how they are 5-10 years ahead of business innovations, and the opportunity they bring for horizontal awareness and looking at ecosystems in a whole new way, and how to cultivate the collective genius.
We also touch on dealing with censorship via personal agency, curiosity and active engagement, with personal responsibility to do the research. And optimism for the future.
Rimma founded DIALOGUE with the conviction that connection and empathy are fundamental forces for how business shapes society. She believes that when we engage in dialogue across difference, true transformation--of business, culture and the self--is possible.

Monica has been on the front line of Australia's fight for freedom since August 2020. Most recently she is internationally recognized as Australia's first political prisoner. She spent 22 days in solitary confinement for refusing to sign draconian bail conditions. The conditions were appealed and revoked. She is now free to continue her work.
She founded an organization called 'Reignite Democracy Australia', which now offers a business directory, a social media platform, 100 community groups around the country and keeps Australians informed every day with current news and resources.
In this interview, she opens up about her personal journey of youthful mistakes, forgiveness, family, community, Church, journalism and empowering you in the fight for freedom.
She also shares RDA's change in strategy, focused on - community, connection and building the new, including the bold ambition to create a new WHO, WEF and the like. All of which are non-elected bodies that seem to govern our lives and take our freedoms.
Naturally, you will form your own point of view, and at least here you can see more of the real Monica Smit, some of what's happened to Australia and an exciting future for us all - if we take action.She's also working closely with political parties who respect human rights in the upcoming federal election.

Food coach, CC Consalvo and I get together again to discuss obsessive eating, food craving and breaking that pattern.
An episode packed with real stories, lived experience and practical ideas to break the anxious eating patterns and return us to health.
"Food is pleasure, itās our connection to the natural world and itās also self-care. Each time we eat weāre given an opportunity to bring into sharp focus the things that actually matter to us most. The way we feel, how we look and our overall energy levels." CC Consalvo

It started with a vision, a vibe and stickers.
In 1991, Troy Eckert was employee #1 at Volcom and over a 20 year period, helped build it to be the international action sports brand it is today.
Troy then stepped away and experienced what he viewed as profound personal failure, heartbreak and hurt - leading him on a healing journey, deep spiritual work, coaching entrepreneurs and elite athletes as well as mens work, a new eco clothing brand and spiritual retreats just to name a few of the gifts that unfolded on his journey to heal.
It's a great story full of insights and honesty about what happened, 'the work', definitions of success, rock bottom and what worked and what did not in the path to awaken / see whats really going on.
It was a privilege to chat with Troy and you can connect and find more about his current work here:

Food coach, CC Consalvo and I discuss the basics of cooking for yourself and overcoming the fears we have around it. The fears that keep us out of the kitchen.
CCās goal is simple. She wants to get you into the kitchen, cooking in a healthful way and having fun while doing it.
She believes cooking is self care and when you connect how to feel to what youāre eating, everything changes for the better.
Her philosophy is your body, mood and performance is made in your pantry and by whatās on your plate. We can all benefit by getting out of our heads and into the kitchen more often.
We touch on her compelling backstory of love and care which eventually thrust her into being a health chef to the rich and famous in LA. CC also works alongside some of the top US Doctors and Registered Dietitians in the field of functional medicine.

Introduction to the Life Beyond ThinkingĀ® visual guide to consciousness, transformation and performance.
Who we are, where it comes from, and why we believe the Life Beyond ThinkingĀ® approach is needed to cut through the noise get to a true solution for mental health and wellness that elevates us and the world around us.
If everything was working so well, why do we have a mental and physical health crisis? Why so many overdoses, addictions, obsessions, stress, and generational trauma? Why does history keep repeating?
We believe we ALL continually suffer for three main reasons: We got the wrong map, the wrong rules and we donāt heal trauma correctly.
All we need to do, is learn one key lesson, and we change the game forever.Thank you for joining us on this journey to inner and outer freedom.
Robert DePinto, Author, Life Beyond ThinkingĀ®
