What if the voice running your life wasn’t actually yours? In this episode, I sit down with Michael Bernoff, speaker, transformation expert, and a dear friend, for a conversation that gets under the surface of how modern life has quietly rewired our instincts. From the words we use to the thoughts we allow, we explore how our language, our devices, and our conditioning have shaped us and how to take our power back. Michael’s not here to motivate. He’s here to reveal the operating system we’ve...
We spend so much time trying to control food, manage weight, and fix our bodies, yet so many people still feel stuck. This episode is about why that happens. In this conversation, I sit down with Jennifer Powter to talk about the deeper patterns underneath weight struggles, emotional eating, and self-sabotage.

I’ve spent years questioning food, farming, and the systems that feed us, but I had never once questioned the glass and the light I stare at every day. I thought it was just the apps trying to keep us hooked. I didn’t realize the hardware itself was engineered to do the same thing. Tristan Scott is an electrical engineer and the Head of Hardware and Marketing at Daylight Computer Co. He’s taken a deep dive into how blue light, flicker, and EMFs affect our biology, and this conversation change...
I sat down with John A. Richardson Jr. for a conversation exploring alternate cancer perspectives, the history of Vitamin B17, also known as amygdalin, and how these ideas have been discussed over time. John shares his personal background, the work of his father, Dr. John A. Richardson MD, and how these experiences shaped his interest in nutrition, health, and non-mainstream approaches to wellness. What stood out to me most was how openly John speaks about his perspective on the “C word” and ...
2025 was a year of deep internal shifts. Margaret and I weren’t chasing big external milestones like the year before, yet something far more lasting took place. Margaret stepped away from her work for a full 10-week sabbatical and fully exited her professional life during that time. From there, everything began to change for her, for me, and for our whole family. We talked openly about burnout and what happens when you keep pushing past your own limits for too long. We shared the moment our d...
You’ve heard me talk a lot about food. Nose-to-tail, organ meats, ancestral living. But the truth is, we’re now dealing with stuff our ancestors never had to face. Microplastics are in our water, in our food, even in our blood. And that means we need to bring in new tools. Dan Powers is the founder of Utzy Naturals. He’s a husband, a father of five, and someone who’s always believed in the power of whole foods, movement, sleep, and doing things right. But when he read a study in the New Engla...
There’s something about building from the floor up that changes a person. For Robert Sikes, that’s not a metaphor. He and his wife Crystal literally slept on the floor of a warehouse while starting their business. I remember meeting him early in Pluck’s journey, before this podcast even existed, and feeling the conviction behind everything he shared. He’s one of the first people who believed in what I was doing. The way he lives is focused, disciplined, and completely dialed in. It left a las...
What happens when we start with kids, a chalkboard, and a Hot Pocket? For Ali Miller, the answer is empowerment.

He’s got this deep blue-collar wisdom and a whole lot of practical invention. We talk about what it means to make a living on a living planet, the connect...
Do you ever feel overstimulated, disconnected, or out of sync?

Debra is a Leadership and Performance Coach who helps entrepreneurs, executives, and crea...
Seventy-six percent of Americans are living with chronic illness. That statistic alone tells us we’re facing something much bigger than personal health struggles. In this conversation with Dr. Chris Turnpaugh, we explore what’s broken in our current medical model and why so many people with complex symptoms are being overlooked. Dr. Turnpaugh brings decades of experience in functional neurology and systems-based medicine, with a track record of uncovering root causes where others only treat s...
You’re a college student at UCLA, juggling five jobs, running an aerobics studio, and training clients before personal training was even a profession. Then one morning in Brentwood, someone follows you out of a coffee shop and pitches a shady modeling gig at the Hotel Bel Air. That moment could have gone sideways. But JJ Virgin had already learned how to set boundaries, read a room, and trust her gut. That instinct shaped everything she built after. JJ didn’t just survive in a male-dominated ...

We explored the misuse of language around plant medicine, how ancestral traditions relate to altered states, and why the Western lens so often fla...
