How to immediately change your life for the better—sounds too good to be true, but it isn't. And my guest, Dr. James Arthur Williams, is here to discuss just how powerful we are once we let go of our self-imposed limitations. If you're wondering what to do when you are stuck, how to get rid of self-doubt and fear, how to reinvent yourself, and how to turn your life, health, and relationships around, this episode is for you. Life was anything but rosy for Dr. WIlliams as he grew up masked, selling drugs at 13 years of age, fathering two kids, dropping out of high school, and living on the streets by 17 years old. However, Dr. Williams transformed from a thug and drug dealer to an acclaimed professor and motivational speaker. Today, Dr. Williams is a tenured professor at the University of Tennessee, an author, and the owner of UNMASKYTP, LLC. He trains domestic and international leaders to dwell in joy while seeking curiosity in every endeavor. He teaches mindfulness, various leadership tactics, and one-on-one coaching to build brighter leaders for the future. He has worked with leaders in Spain, South Korea, Bulgaria, China, and many Fortune 100 companies. In this episode, we reflect on how understanding who we're not can propel us toward who we truly are and why self-love, not external validation, is the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. We also discover how involving family in our visions can amplify our aspirations and create a circle of encouragement that propels us toward a purpose-driven existence. This is more than just a conversation; it's a masterclass on how dreaming big and embracing every challenge can lay the foundation for a life of true fulfillment and joy. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (00:01) Unleashing Limitless Potential (10:43) Breaking Free and Finding Yourself (17:06) Manifesting Success Through Faith and Persistence (21:43) Family Vision and Big Thinking (30:45) Navigating Social Constructs and Self-Mastery (43:56) Mindful Consumption and Teaching Passion (47:10) Life Lessons Learned Through Teaching (52:37) Unlocking Limitless Potential Through Fitness (01:00:05) Doctor James Williams' Online Presence — Connect with Dr. James Williams — Website — https://www.drjamesarthurwilliams.com/ Book: From Thug to Scholar: An Odyssey to Unmask My True Potential — https://www.amazon.com/Thug-Scholar-Odyssey-Unmask-Potential/dp/1735106356/ — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — Curious about becoming a concierge client?

In this episode, we're reviewing 11 essential longevity blood tests crucial for optimal executive performance and overall health. As busy individuals, we must prioritize our well-being, and these lab-based biomarkers provide valuable insights into our physiological state. These essential longevity blood tests are categorized into three fundamental areas: inflammation biomarkers, blood sugar/insulin resistance biomarkers, and heart health biomarkers. Each marker is vital in determining our health trajectory, from assessing systemic inflammation to understanding cardiovascular risk factors. Throughout the episode, you'll be provided not only an overview of each biomarker but also standard and ideal ranges for optimal health, the significance of these markers, and their implications for long-term health. Whether you're already proactive about your health or looking to enhance your wellness journey, this episode (and essential blood tests) equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your longevity, performance, and health. — Impactful Quotes & Ideas — These biomarkers are slow-moving, often sitting dormant for some years, but they still set the stage for various chronic diseases and ailments, including advanced aging. Metabolic health, like aging, is not caused by one factor. Multiple variables play a role. Reducing stress and cortisol levels can go a long way toward reducing inflammation, insulin resistance, blood pressure, and so much more. — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — Curious about becoming a concierge client?

Growing up, we often heard that adversity breeds character. My guest today, John Brink, is a prime example of this adage. Today, we're discussing succeeding in entrepreneurship against all odds and forming an unstoppable mindset. John's journey from his early days in war-torn Holland to becoming a serial entrepreneur in Canada is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit. John is the President and CEO of the Brink Group of Companies and 10+ other companies. He's also the author of three books and hosts the ON THE BRINK Podcast series. As he shares his story with us, we also unpack the unexpected advantages of personal challenges like ADHD. John's insights on converting trials into triumphs offer a masterclass in leveraging what some may see as limitations to our advantage. Encountering an 83-year-old (soon-to-be 84-year-old) nationally-ranked bodybuilder sounds like a tale for the books. But for John, it's just another chapter in a life brimming with vitality and defiance of age-related stereotypes. This episode explores how lifestyle choices like diet, exercise, and a positive mindset significantly impact our health as we age and our overall approach to living.  Through John's narrative, we unearth the misconceptions about aging and learn how cultivating a balance between work and personal interests contributes to a life well-lived, regardless of the number of candles on our birthday cake. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (00:02) Intro + Overcoming Odds (13:54) Exploring Career Paths and Overcoming Challenges (23:43) Living Young, Dying Old (28:06) Positive Mindset and Healthy Living (33:40) Journey of Fitness and Leadership (45:35) Strategic Thinking and Doing Right Actions (59:08) Future Book Releases and Success Journey — Connect with John Brink — Website + Books — https://johnabrink.com/ YouTube Podcast— http://www.youtube.com/@JohnABrink Audio Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/on-the-brink/id1523109056 Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/john.a.brink/ — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — Curious about becoming a concierge client?

Imagine a world where artificial intelligence is not the sinister force often depicted in Hollywood blockbusters but rather a powerful ally in the entrepreneurial landscape. My guest, Sebastian Schieke, is here to discuss how to use AI to be better in life, health, and business. Sebastian is a seasoned Entrepreneur, CEO Mentor, and Angel Investor with a rich history of founding, managing, and scaling two 7-figure companies whose journey began behind the Berlin Wall. He's also the host of the High-Performance CEO Show. With a wealth of experience, including navigating through challenging times, Sebastian's expertise is deeply rooted in real-world business challenges and solutions rather than solely theoretical knowledge from seminars and books.  Now, with a laser focus on artificial intelligence (AI), Sebastian is channeling his extensive business acumen toward the futuristic realm of AI, driven to impact his clients significantly. His journey embodies a blend of self-taught tenacity, hands-on business experience, and a ceaseless drive for innovation and empowerment. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (00:02) Intro + The Age of AI and Entrepreneurship (15:20) Navigating Change in Entrepreneurship (19:42) Overcoming Hesitancy and Embracing AI (37:39) Exploring AI Services and Investment Criteria (49:26) Finding Purpose and Success in Life — Impactful Words From Sebastian Schieke — "I'm inspired by entrepreneurship... I always wanted to be my own boss, create something, build something, have my own company. I never really had a real full-time job." "I started doubling down on AI because I see how we can leverage this technology to create more value as entrepreneurs, to optimize our own processes, to create more free time and reduce cognitive overload." "Human-assisted AI is about leveraging AI as a tool to speed things up, to create more time for more important things, more strategic things in our work." "Imagine taking all your knowledge documented over the years and creating your own bot. Offer it to your customers as an additional service... How great would this be for the customers?

Have you ever considered fear and doubt as the unlikely companions of success in terms of how to start a firm from scratch without losing your mental health? For my guest, serial entrepreneur Lance Cayko, this potential moment of fear and doubt showed up during the 2009 recession. After Lance and his business partner Alex Gore were laid off, they faced contracting and victimizing themselves or choosing to do what most don't do: find a silver lining. Fast forward: Lance co-founded the award-winning F9 Productions, which has gone from two employees to a team of 11. Lance also teaches part-time at the University of Colorado Boulder and North Dakota State and co-hosts one of the world's top five architecture and business podcasts, Inside the Firm. In this episode, we dive into the mindset of what true entrepreneurship looks like from multiple angles. So many jewels were dropped in this episode. If you're looking to hotwire your mind and start to operate at a high level in times of uncertainty, this episode is for you. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (00:01) Intro + Entrepreneurship and Balance in Life (12:50) Building a Successful Architecture Firm (21:11) Overcoming Challenges in Entrepreneurship (31:20) Embrace Discipline, Benefit From Architects (36:03) Understanding the Architectural Process (39:06) Scaling Service-Based Business With Slow Growth (46:24) AI's Impact on Architectural Community (51:55) Successful Entrepreneurial Journey Building + Conclusion — Impactful Words From Lance Cayko — "Life is navigating this chaos every single day, especially as an entrepreneur, you can't control the macro economy, only your micro economy." "If you can't sell your work, no matter how brilliant it is, it's like a beautiful painting that nobody will ever see." "The biggest pushback we got was actually from my contemporaries, the people I graduated with... Now, some of them are calling me for advice, and I'm glad to help. That's part of my path." "Just because you work hard doesn't mean you're guaranteed security, and security is oftentimes an illusion." — Connect with Lance Cayko — Website/Podcast — ⁠https://www.insidethefirmpodcast.com/ Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-firm/id1202464726 LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-cayko-1227031a/ — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — Curious about becoming a concierge client?

Nocturnal erections are the sixth vital sign no one talks about, which is a leading indicator of your vascular health. Join me and Dr. Elliot Justin in a conversation about how to improve sexual health using wearable technology. Dr. Justin is the CEO and Founder of FirmTech, focusing uniquely on the intersection of sexual and cardiac health. There are wearables of numerous health categories, but one that focuses on our intimacy has been non-existent until now. FirmTech's award-winning Tech ring—the first smart intimacy wearable of its kind enhances pleasure while improving cardiac health. We also touch on the broader implications for both men's and women's health, emphasizing the critical need for better tools and more research in an industry that often favors reactive treatments over preventive health. Other topics include how sexual health is inextricably linked to relationship satisfaction and overall well-being. Dr. Justin also discusses an increase in erectile dysfunction among younger men, the potential role of wearable technology in sleep and health assessment, and the benefits of PDE5 inhibitors such as tadalafil (aka Cialis). Throughout the conversation, it's a guarantee that you'll not only learn a few things but also get plenty of laughs along the way. Lastly, you'll be left with a potent reminder that communication is vital regarding health, just like in a good relationship. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (00:00) Nocturnal Erections in Men's Health (04:07) Erectile Function Monitoring and Health Assessment (12:55) Cock Rings and Medication Benefits (23:28) Measuring Firmness and Nocturnal Erections (27:41) Sleep Quality, Erections, and Relationship Satisfaction (44:13) Increase Medical Device Adoption Strategies (56:45) Conclusion — Impactful Words From Dr. Elliot Justin — "Everyone knows about morning wood, and we poke our partners with it and laugh about it. But I didn't realize that the number of nocturnal erections is a leading indicator of a man's cardiovascular health, meaning it's predictive. Before the majority of men have a heart attack or a stroke, their number of erections go down." "Women have the same complaints that men do in terms of erectile dysfunction. It's called FSD, female sexual dysfunction. Younger women have more problems than men do because they want to blame it on men, but there are women taking antidepressants more than men do, and those have an impact on their sexual performance." — Connect with Dr. Elliot Justin and FirmTech — Website — https://myfirmtech.com/ Contact Dr. Justin — elliot@myfirmtech.com — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — Curious about becoming a concierge client?

Families are the bedrock of a solid and prosperous society. Our guest today, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi, is here to discuss how to upgrade your family's health while seamlessly integrating it into your busy professional life. I believe it's a duty and obligation for the father and mother to be as healthy and fit as possible. Everything will positively benefit and expand from this. Dr. Balduzzi is the founder and CEO of the Fit Father Project and Fit Mother Project. He's the foremost expert in helping busy moms and dads optimize their health. 60,000 families across more than 100 countries have benefited from his and his team's programs. As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Arizona, Dr. Balduzzi holds dual degrees in Nutrition and Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania.

We lose our health and ability to provide, experience, make memories, and be around." "You are going to trust somebody who feels like they're in integrity. Who trusts a fat doctor or an overweight personal trainer? You don't, and so a parent who's telling you to be the best version you can be at all levels, who is not expressing that physically and emotionally, does not have as much integrity.

Every 40 seconds someone has a heart attack. Approximately 80% of premature heart disease and stroke can be prevented. There are numerous blood tests for heart health that someone can use. However, is it precise enough? In today’s episode, I’m talking with Rhonda Rhyne, CEO and president of Prevencio.  They’re on a mission to revolutionize blood tests for cardiovascular disease through leveraging Artificial intelligence. She’s also the author of Keys to the Corner Office: Success Strategies for Women by Women. Heart disease is more deadly than all cancers combined. It’s expected to worsen over the coming decades. Two groundbreaking tests HART CADhs (“The Here and Now”) and HART CVE (“The future”) offer some much-needed hope in this arena. These blood tests have an almost 90% accuracy for whether you have heart disease and are at immediate risk of a heart attack through the HART CADhs. The HART CVE determines whether you have a one-year risk of a heart attack, stroke, or cardiac event. We leave no stone unturned in exploring the connection between the heart and other organs, such as the kidneys, and the impact it can have on your health. And much more.  These tests can be an excellent tool to use as a baseline to track and monitor your heart health over the coming decades. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (00:01) Introduction, Rhonda’s Origin Story, and Preventing Cardiovascular Disease (14:01) Machine Learning and Cardiovascular Health (29:41) Heart Disease Diagnostic Tests and Research (39:19) Q&A and Wrap-up — Impactful Words From Rhonda Rhyne — "We need a better solution and, Prevencio, maybe you can say we're biased, but we've got higher accuracy, no side effects, more accessibility, and lower cost compared to these other modalities." "The inclusion of KIM 1 highlights the connection between heart health and kidney function, particularly in the African-American population." "I really do believe if you're raised with different types of adversity, you hopefully learn to overcome them and become that stronger." "Genes tell RNA which proteins to produce. Proteins are very close to the disease state and are reflective and dynamic." — Connect with Rhonda & Prevencio — Website — https://prevenciomed.com/ — Connect with Julian and Executive Health — Curious about becoming a concierge client?

In this episode, we're connecting health and accountability. Specifically, addressing one key habit keeping you unhealthy and frustrated across the board. I'm discussing the concept of the 'lag effect', illustrating how our actions today might not show their effects until later in life. This concept is not limited to health but extends to wealth, careers, and relationships as well. You'll also discover why it's difficult to prioritize health, even though we acknowledge it as our greatest asset, and how this mindset often leads us to neglect our well-being until we start facing the repercussions. In this episode, I'm going beyond just health and discussing the critical role of accountability in optimal leadership. Lastly, I'll be discussing how visualizing the future and staying mindful of your decisions can help you be more accountable for your health (and much more). — Notable Quotes & Insights — "Optimal health is an inside-out job and the first area to optimize is your mindset."

When you're balancing health with business, or at least attempting to, it's harder than it sounds. Constantly grinding, mounting stress, expectations to perform, and working seven days a week, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s truly important. But what if there was a way to strategically maximize productivity while still making ample time for family, friends, and fun? Meet Wade Galt, an entrepreneur, author, and life coach who has committed his life to a three-day weekend lifestyle.

He uses stories from top performers and athletes to illustrate the reality of what it takes to succeed. But amidst all the hard work, he emphasizes the importance of self-care and enjoying the fruits of your labor. After all, what's the point of all the hard work if you can't enjoy a three-day weekend?

What is the real truth about success? There are multiple identities and pathways to “success.” But one thing is for certain, it doesn’t look like the highlight reels you see on social media. Coming from a small town, my guest, Stoyan Yankov learned from an early age that hard work, consistency, and education were vital stepping stones for success. Raised in a post-communistic environment in Sliven, Bulgaria, Stoyan’s upbringing shaped a mindset that thrives on perseverance, community, and ambition. And it’s with that in mind, in this conversation, we’re exploring the unsexy truth about success. This includes the inherent responsibilities and the sacrifices one often needs to make. Stoyan’s journey is interesting as he initially wanted to become a Wall Street banker—“Greed is Good” ;) However, he soon immersed himself in cinema and became a movie and video producer. After some more twists and turns, he became a productivity and performance coach, the host of a top podcast, an author, and a global keynote speaker. At this point, Stoyan has helped 300+ companies and he’s just getting started. This episode was both enjoyable and informative and I know you’re going to get a lot of insights out of it. — Episode Chapter Big Ideas (timing may not be exact) — (0:00:02) - Truth of Success and Leadership (0:11:42) - Discovering and Utilizing Your Unique Strengths (0:17:19) - Storytelling's Power in Business and Life (0:26:07) - Surviving and Building a Successful Career (0:33:19) - Purpose and Effective Planning (0:46:35) - Organizing Time With Intention and Purpose (0:54:28) - Performing and Communicating During Crisis (1:03:36) - Discussion About Podcasting and Media — Notable Quotes — "The power of storytelling is a tool that can help reframe perspectives and guide you to your goals." - Stoyan Yankov "In these trying times, maintaining high performance can be a challenge.
