Since then, my life has dramatically changed, and I owe a lot of my success to the advice and guidance I received from Brian on that call. 7 years later, it was an absolute pleasure to have Brian on the podcast. We talked on a range of topics such as high-performance routines and habits, what a week looks like for Brian as a business owner and dad , and the traits of a great role model... We also dived into some of Brian's hardest moments in life and what he learned from them. This was a raw, open and honest episode, and I am excited to share the conversation with you guys.

Dr. Mariza Snyder is an educator, best-selling author and wellness advocate.  She is passionate about helping women over 40 feel like themselves again. More than a decade ago, she was chronically sick, feeling wired and tired, and experiencing a sensation of constant overwhelm from the combination of both work and going to graduate school to become a practitioner. Like many women she knew, she was being held captive by crazy unbalanced hormones and overwhelmed with life.  She realized that she needed to change her lifestyle if she wanted to feel like her old self again. On that journey she reclaimed her life and her body and now she helps others to do the same using proven protocols to increase energy, lose weight and improve mood.

In this powerful in-person conversation, I sit down with Gavin Meenan from Modern Warrior to explore some of the most fundamental challenges we face as humans—self-acceptance, self-doubt, and the courage it takes to truly meet our pain. Gavin opens up about his personal journey with low self-esteem and rejection, sharing the practices and mindset shifts that helped him develop genuine self-acceptance. We go deep on why so many of us struggle to accept ourselves as we are, the difference between self-acceptance and complacency, and how confronting our pain—rather than running from it—is often the path to real freedom. This isn't your typical motivational conversation. It's raw, honest, and practical. Whether you're battling self-doubt, struggling with rejection, or simply want to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, this episode offers real wisdom and actionable insights.
