The Super Human Life

Most men don't struggle because they lack discipline, motivation, or intelligence. They struggle because they lack purpose.   In this solo episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich breaks down why discovering your purpose is the foundation of real transformation and why without it, no habit, routine, or New Year's resolution will ever stick.   Purpose isn't something you invent. It's something you discover.   As we head into 2026, this episode gives you a clear, tactical framework built around five powerful questions that help uncover why you were created, who you're meant to serve, and how to start stepping into that calling right now.   This episode connects purpose to identity, faith, service, and action, showing how alignment with your calling brings clarity, direction, and freedom from anxiety, stagnation, and destructive habits.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why purpose is the missing piece behind most men's lack of fulfillment   How identity and purpose are directly connected   Why purpose must be discovered — not created   How living without purpose fuels anxiety, depression, and addictive cycles   The role service plays in uncovering your calling   Why passion often points to purpose How your natural gifts reveal what you were designed to do   Why the problems that anger you may be the problems you're meant to solve     How to take action on your purpose using the opportunities already in front of you   Why purpose evolves over time — and why waiting for clarity keeps you stuck     The 5 Questions To Discover Your Purpose Who do you care about? (Who do you have a heart to serve?) What are you passionate about? (What energizes and moves you?) What do you do well? (What comes naturally? What do people come to you for?) What bothers you? (What problems in the world do you want to fix?) What opportunities are in front of you right now? (What step can you take today?)     Why This Episode Matters   Without purpose, men drift. Without purpose, discipline breaks down. Without purpose, temptation grows louder.   But when a man discovers why he's here — everything changes.   This episode is a wake-up call for any man heading into a new year determined to stop drifting, stop numbing, and start living with intention, clarity, and conviction.     Who This Episode Is For Men who feel stuck, restless, or unfulfilled   Men struggling with motivation, discipline, or consistency   Men battling anxiety, depression, or addictive cycles   Men who want clarity and direction for the year ahead   Men ready to step into who they were created to be --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ    

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich sits down with longevity pioneer and author Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, founder of Gladden Longevity and a leading voice in human performance optimization.   Together, they challenge the cultural belief that aging is an inevitable decline and reveal how mindset, biology, technology, and purpose all intersect to determine how long (and how well) we live.   Dr. Gladden shares why aging is more of a mindset than a biological certainty, how purpose and spirituality directly impact health, and why the "questions you ask yourself" may be one of the most underrated longevity tools we possess.   The conversation dives deep into the nervous system, emotional fitness, relationships, AI advancements, and the future of biohacking, giving men a roadmap to living younger, stronger, and more intentionally for decades to come.   This is not a conversation about resisting aging. This is a conversation about redefining what's possible for the human experience.   Episode Highlights & Takeaways Aging is a mindset, not a destiny. Your beliefs about aging directly influence your biology and lifespan. Define your longevity goals early. Intentionality shapes the habits and systems that determine how well you age. Spirituality & purpose are longevity multipliers. Living aligned with meaning strengthens resilience, vitality, and emotional health. AI will revolutionize personalized health optimization. When used correctly, it can supercharge diagnostics, protocols, and prevention. The nervous system determines your youthfulness. Stress, trauma, and dysregulation accelerate aging more than most people know. Biohacking tools can support, but not replace foundational health. Tech is a supplement, not the solution. Your relationships shape your mental and physical longevity. Deep connection and emotional safety reduce biological aging markers. The quality of your questions defines the quality of your life. Better questions → better decisions → better outcomes. A fulfilling life is built on love and creation. Purpose, generosity, service, and self-expression deepen well-being at every age. Guest Bio:  Dr. Jeffrey Gladden Dr. Jeffrey Gladden is a visionary in human longevity, advanced performance, and regenerative health. A triple-board-certified interventional cardiologist turned longevity expert, Dr. Gladden spent decades at the forefront of cardiac innovation, co-founding the Heart Hospital Baylor Scott & White and developing leading cardiac programs across the country.   But it was his own battle with fatigue, brain fog, and declining vitality that pushed him to rethink traditional medicine and pursue a deeper truth: aging is not a fixed fate — it's a process we can influence, optimize, and even reverse.   Today, as the founder of Gladden Longevity, he leads a cutting-edge clinic that helps individuals "live young for a lifetime" through personalized diagnostics, breakthrough technologies, and his signature Symphony of Longevity framework. His bestselling book, 100 Is the New 30, challenges conventional beliefs about aging and explores what's truly possible when a person optimizes body, mind, purpose, and spirit.   Through his research, IRB-approved clinical trials, and global speaking, Dr. Gladden is on a mission to answer one profound question:   "How good can you be—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—as you age?"   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank is joined once again by psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Glenn Livingston (Never Binge Again) to break down one of the biggest hidden challenges men face: staying in control around food — especially during the holidays.   They explore why so many disciplined, successful men lose control with their eating this time of year, and how to indulge without guilt, compromise, or spiraling into a "start again Monday" setback.   Dr. Livingston reveals simple rules, identity-based strategies, and mindset shifts that allow men to enjoy the holidays while maintaining discipline, confidence, and self-respect — without obsessing, restricting, or apologizing for their goals.   Expect to Learn Why high-performers fall off more during the holidays — and how to stop it   The exact moment overeating starts — and how to intercept it   How to enjoy holiday food without losing control or waking up ashamed   Tools for navigating social pressure and family dynamics around food   Why perfectionism is the enemy of long-term health   The role of identity in lasting behavior change   How to set New Year's resolutions that actually work   Why emotional healing doesn't come before discipline — it comes after habits change   Key Takeaways Boundaries prevent guilt. You can indulge — but you must decide when, where, and how much ahead of time.   Social pressure is real — but manageable. Redirect conversations instead of defending your choices.   Clear food rules = less stress. Discipline is easier when your brain isn't negotiating every decision.   Mindful eating changes the experience. Slow down, taste your food, and stay present at the table.   Put your phone away during meals. Connection increases fulfillment and reduces overeating.   Identity is the long-term lever. Eat according to the man you're becoming — not the impulse of the moment.   Aim for consistency, not perfection. Small wins build momentum — and momentum builds belief.   Visualize consequences. Think beyond the moment and feel future outcomes before you act.   Behavior drives emotion. Fix your patterns first, and the emotional attachment to food begins to dissolve.   New Year's resolutions must be specific. Vague motivation fades — concrete rules stick.   Connect with Dr. Glenn Livingston: Website - https://www.defeatyourcravings.com/   Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/never-binge-again/id1262926738   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ    

In this power-packed episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with Chris Duffin — legendary strength athlete, mechanical engineer, entrepreneur, and one of the most respected voices in human performance and biological optimization.   Chris shares his unbelievable story of survival, resilience, and reinvention, and reveals a framework that's helping high-performing men rebuild purpose, identity, and physical vitality — especially after career success turns into stagnation, burnout, or loss of drive.   Whether you're a business leader, former athlete, father, or high performer who knows you're capable of more, this episode will challenge you and equip you to break through the plateau and reclaim the edge.   About Chris Duffin Chris "The Mad Scientist" Duffin is a world-record-setting powerlifter, bestselling author, biomechanical genius, and the founder of Kabuki Strength and multiple human-performance companies. He has worked with: Every major league baseball team 90% of the NBA 80% of the NFL Elite military operators Hollywood action performers High-net-worth executives + former steroid-enhanced athletes After surviving a traumatic upbringing and rising to become a top executive, world-class strength athlete, and multimillion-dollar founder, Chris devoted his life to helping people build resilience and optimize human biology for peak performance and longevity. He now coaches individuals and professionals through biomechanics, peptides, mitochondrial repair, hormone optimization, and cellular-level resilience.   Key Takeaways ✔ Comfort is the new danger. Men don't just break down at rock bottom — many collapse at rock top after success leads to stagnation and meaninglessness.   ✔ Growth requires resistance. Just like muscles atrophy in a cast, the mind and soul weaken without intentional challenge.   ✔ The Six P's of Growth: Precipice → Plunge → Pit → Pole → Peak → Plateau You must choose the plunge before life forces you into it.   ✔ Fear isn't the enemy. True strength is remaining self-aware inside stress — neither paralyzed by fear nor reckless without it.   ✔ Mindset alone is not enough. If your biology is compromised — hormones, mitochondria, inflammation — you're fighting your own physiology every day.   ✔ Modern men can reclaim energy and clarity. Peptides, hormone alignment, mitochondrial support, and circadian rhythm optimization can reverse brain fog, low drive, recovery issues, and emotional instability.   ✔ The Superhuman life = value-aligned living. Not achievement — but building a life where your actions express who you were created to be.   Peptides & Optimization Mentioned Chris shares a high-level overview of cutting-edge regenerative and performance-boosting tools, including:   CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin (GH optimization) TRT micro-dosing aligned with circadian rhythm BPC-157, TB-500, KPV (gut & tissue repair) Alcar, ketones, urolithin A (metabolic support) SLUPP 3-3-2, MOTS-C, SS-31 (mitochondrial restoration) (Not medical advice — consult a qualified professional before applying.)   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

Men today are facing a silent crisis. Suicide rates are climbing, loneliness is at epidemic levels, and society continues to confuse men about what it truly means to be masculine. In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with men's life coach and Groups for Men co-founder McKenzie Beeby to unpack the cultural forces at play, the hidden dangers of Nice Guy Syndrome, and the tools men need to reclaim their strength, purpose, and faith.   Together, Frank and McKenzie explore the historical roots of the men's crisis, the role of shame and ego, and how distorted views of masculinity fuel brokenness in men's lives. They highlight the importance of community, vulnerability, and brotherhood and provide a roadmap for men who are ready to stop hiding and start living the life they were created for.   About McKenzie Beeby McKenzie Beeby is a life coach for men, speaker, writer, and co-founder of Groups for Men, one of the largest online support communities for men in the U.S. With a background as an entrepreneur, business owner, filmmaker, and mentor, McKenzie has dedicated his life to helping men overcome destructive cultural narratives about masculinity. His mission is to equip men to step into lives of strength, compassion, and integrity by breaking free from Nice Guy Syndrome, healing past wounds, and cultivating brotherhood.     Expect to Learn Why men today are facing the greatest identity crisis in history   The hidden costs of Nice Guy Syndrome — and how it sabotages marriages, careers, and faith How shame and ego create toxic patterns in men's lives The influence of media and cultural narratives on masculinity Why loneliness and isolation fuel addiction, anger, and despair Simple tools men can use to communicate better and live with integrity How vulnerability and brotherhood create true masculine strength The role of faith in helping men reclaim purpose and freedom Why defining success on your terms is key to becoming the man you were created to be   Key Takeaways Men are struggling with rising suicide rates and epidemic loneliness. The men's crisis has historical roots dating back to post–World War II cultural shifts. Success must be clearly defined in today's confused world. Toxic masculinity is often just shame in disguise. Brotherhood and community are non-negotiable for men's growth. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Faith is a cornerstone for true masculine identity.   Connect with McKenzie: Groups for Men - https://groupsformen.com/   Website - https://mckenziebeeby.com/   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mckenziebeeby/   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/     Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome     YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

Men are lonelier than ever — even in a world where we're more "connected" than at any point in history. The truth is, most men are starving for brotherhood, honesty, and real connection, yet culture keeps pushing the "lone wolf" narrative that leaves us isolated, ashamed, and stuck.   In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with men's coach and community builder Tom Karrel, co-founder of Groups For Men, to expose the real roots of male loneliness and share the path forward. Together, they unpack the lies men are told about masculinity, the destructive role of social media, and why desire — paired with action — is the key to change.   Tom doesn't just talk theory — he brings over a decade of experience facilitating men's groups, leading retreats, and helping thousands of men worldwide rediscover their voice, their purpose, and their brothers.   If you've ever felt like you're "the only one" struggling, this episode is your wake-up call: you are not alone, but it's on you to take the first step into community.     About Tom Karrel Tom Karrel is a men's coach, writer, and group facilitator with over 10,000 hours of leading men's work around the globe. He is the co-founder of Groups For Men, an organization dedicated to creating safe, supportive communities where men can grow, heal, and connect. Tom is passionate about helping men cut through the noise of cultural expectations, live in truth, and build the kind of brotherhood that transforms lives.   Learn more about Tom and his work at groupsformen.com.   Expect to Learn: Why men are experiencing unprecedented levels of loneliness despite hyper-connectivity   The conflicting cultural messages about masculinity — and how they keep men stuck   Why desire is the starting point for any real change in a man's life   The dark side of social media and its impact on men's mental health   Why vulnerability is not weakness, but the foundation of deeper connection   Practical tools for self-discovery and communication that every man can apply   What to look for when searching for a supportive community or brotherhood   Why personal responsibility is the non-negotiable key to growth and freedom   Key Takeaways: Men are feeling lonelier than ever despite being "connected."   Masculinity is often defined by conflicting cultural narratives.   Desire + action is the catalyst for real transformation.   Social media amplifies isolation, fear, and comparison.   In-person connections are vital for mental health and fulfillment.   Brotherhood and supportive communities are essential for men to thrive.   Vulnerability is strength, not weakness.   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

He has consulted for the gaming industry, delivered talks at Google, and is recognized as a leading voice on the role of luck in human decision-making.   Together, Frank and Dr. Orkin explore how luck, probability, and randomness really shape our outcomes  and how disciplined decision-making can tip the odds in your favor.   From lottery jackpots and sports betting to slot machines, blackjack, and business decisions, Dr. Orkin explains how to separate random variance from real skill, avoid the traps of "false gurus," and apply timeless probability principles to fitness, finance, faith, family, and freedom.     🔑 Expect to learn: Why randomness is a backdrop in life, not your destiny and how persistence and skill win long term.   The difference between luck and skill in gambling, investing, fitness, and relationships.   What the Kelly Criterion teaches about money management, fitness progress, and spiritual growth.   Why slot machines hijack the brain and what intermittent rewards teach us about dopamine cycles.   How to spot and avoid the "double down" trap when you're losing in life or business.   Simple probability-based filters you can use every day: Is it correlation or causation? What's the margin of error? Is this a lucky streak or true pattern?   How men of faith can reconcile God's sovereignty with life's randomness  and why gratitude reframes "luck."   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ  

What happens when a man grows up without a father, yet is called to lead as one?   This week on The Super Human Life, Coach Frank Rich is joined by Pastor Ralph Johnson, a Husband, Father, Pastor, Educator, Leadership Coach, and co-host of the Altared Manhood Podcast.

Too many high-performing men think success in one area guarantees success in all areas. But when it comes to your health, that's rarely the case. The truth? Traditional fitness advice is broken.

Overcoming porn isn't just about saying "no" harder, installing filters, or trying to white-knuckle your way through temptation. Real freedom comes when you heal the root — the wounds beneath the surface that porn has been covering up.   In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank talks with Drew Boa,  founder of Husband Material, pastoral sex addiction professional, podcaster, and author of the new book Outgrow Porn. Drew has walked with thousands of men through their healing journeys and brings a fresh, biblical, and deeply compassionate perspective on what it really takes to outgrow porn.   Coach Frank & Drew dive into topics most men never talk about; sexual fantasies, inner child healing, shame, purity culture, relapse, and what it means to live fully alive as the man God created you to be.   If you've ever felt trapped in cycles of guilt and failure, this episode is going to set you free with a new way of thinking about your struggle.   About Drew Boa Drew Boa is the founder of Husband Material, host of the top-ranked Husband Material Podcast, and a Pastoral Sex Addiction Professional (PSAP). With over a decade of experience, Drew has helped thousands of men worldwide heal from sexual brokenness and reclaim their God-given identity. His new book, Outgrow Porn, blends neuroscience, psychology, and biblical truth to equip men to heal at the deepest level, not through shame and control, but through love, compassion, and Christ-centered transformation.   Connect with Drew: Website - https://www.husbandmaterial.com/   Retreat - https://www.husbandmaterial.com/retreat   Book (Outgrow Porn) - https://www.drewboa.com/outgrow-porn   Listen to episode 22 of The Super Human Life w/ Drew - https://sites.libsyn.com/188300/ep-22-helping-men-of-god-quit-porn-w-drew-boa   Listen to episode 255 of The Rebuilt Man podcast w/ Drew - https://sites.libsyn.com/495683/how-to-heal-the-inner-child-outgrow-porn-the-coaches-corner-w-drew-boa-ep-255     Key Takeaways From This Episode Getting free from porn is like breaking up with a long-term partner;  there's grief, but also new life on the other side.   Your sexual fantasies tell a story, and when you understand that story, you unlock the key to healing.   Pornography hijacks the brain's reward system as a "supernormal stimulus." Recognizing this helps you rewire your brain.   Healing the boy within is essential to freeing the man you were created to be.   Connection and safety are not optional, they're vital for breaking free from addiction.   Shame is the fuel that keeps men stuck. To heal, you must replace condemnation with curiosity and compassion.   Relapse is not failure, it's feedback. Every slip points to what still needs healing.   Drew's OBC Method (Locate, Love, Lead) offers a framework to guide men in inner child healing.   Purity culture often created toxic shame around sexuality. The answer isn't repression, it's redemption.   Living a Super Human Life means embracing the full spectrum of emotions God designed us to feel.     --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ    

What if eating sugar could actually help you burn fat, sleep better, and transform your body after 40?   In this explosive episode of The Super Human Life, Coach Frank sits down with fitness legend Shaun Hadsall, better known as The Ripped Grandpa, to break down the truth behind The Sugar Diet, a controversial but powerful nutritional strategy that's blowing up in the fitness world.   Shaun shares the science behind how sugar (yes, sugar) can be strategically used to ignite fat loss, boost metabolism, and support muscle retention, especially for men in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. The conversation dives deep into the real cause of obesity, the hormone FGF21, and how sugar, when isolated from fat and protein, can actually heal your metabolism instead of destroy it.   If you've tried keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting and still feel stuck... this episode will completely rewire how you think about food, discipline, and fat loss.   Frank also shares his personal results using The Sugar Diet, including improvements in energy, fat loss, and sleep, without restriction or burnout.     👤 About Shaun Hadsall: Shaun Hadsall is a 50+ year-old fitness coach, best-selling author, and co-founder of Get Lean After 40. Known online as The Ripped Grandpa, he's spent the last 20+ years helping men and women over 40 optimize hormones, lose stubborn belly fat, and build lean muscle through cutting-edge nutrition strategies like carb-cycling and now, The Sugar Diet.   Shaun's mission is to disrupt the lies of diet culture and prove that aging doesn't mean slowing down.   👉 Learn more at: www.rippedgrandpa.com     ✅ Key Takeaways: 🍭 The Sugar Diet works by isolating sugar from protein and fat, triggering a metabolic response that activates FGF21, a hormone critical for fat burning and energy regulation.   🔥 Sugar fasting can create hormetic stress that resets your metabolism when used properly.   💪 Carbohydrates are muscle-sparing when timed and portioned correctly—especially in a low-fat state.   🧠 Mindset is everything. Adherence to any diet matters more than the diet itself.   ❌ Sugar is not the villain. Excessive fat + sugar is the real obesity combo.   😴 The Sugar Diet can improve energy, sleep, and hormonal balance; especially in men over 30.   🧩 Balance is key. There's no one-size-fits-all diet, but understanding why your body reacts a certain way is game-changing.     Connect with Shaun aka The Ripped Grandpa: Coaching - www.therippedgrandpa.com   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/suprahuman_rippedgrandpa/   YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@suprahuman_rippedgrandpa/featured   --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ  

The revival isn't coming from pulpits,  it's rising in the marketplace.   In this powerful conversation, Coach Frank sits down with Christian "Doc" Farris, founder of Sacred CEO, to unpack why men of faith are being called to lead boldly in business, culture, and family like never before.   They dive deep into the root issues plaguing modern masculinity; fatherlessness, trauma, image obsession, and spiritual apathy and reveal the path toward healing, purpose, and leadership that begins with true forgiveness and God-given identity.   Whether you're a CEO, creator, or a man trying to reclaim your calling, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, leadership, and what it means to live a truly Supreme Life.     🙌 GUEST BIO – Christian "Doc" Farris Christian "Doc" Farris is the founder of Sacred CEO, a spiritual and leadership mentor to high-performing Christian men. Known for his no-BS approach to kingdom leadership, Doc helps men align their identity with Christ, lead their businesses with integrity, and pursue their calling with boldness. He believes the next great revival won't start in a church — it'll start in the boardroom.   Connect with Doc: Website - https://www.sacredceo.io/   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/realdocfarris/     🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS The marketplace is the new mission field  and revival starts with leadership.   Gen Z is spiritually starving, fatherlessness, relativism, and identity confusion are leaving them desperate for truth.   Trauma is not your identity  but healing is your responsibility.   True forgiveness begins with yourself  and it's the gateway to healing and freedom.   Vulnerability is power, especially for men in leadership.   You don't need more opportunities, you need clarity on your calling.   Your image doesn't define you, your effort and obedience do.   Community isn't optional, it's the foundation for growth, accountability, and faith.   Living a "Supreme Life" means mastering your mission, not managing your reputation.     --- Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ
