Send a text Ever felt your spark flicker and wondered how to light it again? We sit down with artist James McKenna to trace the real, unglamorous craft of resilience—how a childhood shaped by volatility, a life with bipolar depression and emerging BPD insights, and years of creative trial and error forged a voice in steel and stone that people can’t ignore. James doesn’t trade in tidy turnarounds. He builds them, one welded choice at a time. We walk through the moments that mattered: recogni...
Send a text Some weeks feel like a country song: the dryer dies, plans derail, and a goodbye hits home. We open up about a raw stretch that brought grief to the table and reminded us why stories, rituals, and the right people matter. From honoring Aunt Irene with a thread of family memories to watching kids face a first real loss, we explore how to hold space for pain while still choosing what helps: presence, small rituals, and honest conversation. We also dig into the seasons of friendship...
Send a text A yoga trip, a shared mat, and an instant breakout became the perfect catalyst to rethink one of beauty’s oldest myths: if it burns, it works. We dig into why calmer, science-backed routines can outperform harsh quick fixes and how the body’s own regenerative power thrives when we stop overwhelming it. From separating acute inflammation from its chronic cousin to explaining how cells “budget” energy for collagen and barrier repair, we translate complex biology into choices that ma...
Send a text What if the real secret to healthier, brighter skin isn’t more products—but one root cause? We sit down with biological engineer and beauty founder Kaitlyn Schneider to unpack why wrinkles, redness, dryness, and dullness often trace back to chronic inflammation—and how a science-first, three-step routine can cut through noise and deliver results you can see and feel. Kaitlyn shares how her path from large-scale engineering to skincare shaped a systems view of beauty: technology m...
Send a text A no-show guest. A ticking clock. And a room full of listeners waiting to be inspired. We decided to pivot in public—and that’s where the real story began. Join us as we unpack how Reignite Live 2026 came to life in Loveland, Colorado, and why community design, not perfection, is what turns ideas into action. We walk through the chain of serendipity that started with a donated venue and became a full-day experience built for depth: doors open early for coffee and connection, jour...
Send a text Ever felt the spark dim and wondered how to light it again without burning out? We take you behind the scenes of Reignite Live—our no-playbook, all-heart event—where a room of strangers became allies through candid stories, practical tools, and a shared hunger for momentum that actually means something. From early fumbles to a rock-solid team, from a surprise “twin” outfit moment to a powerhouse MC, the day mixed humor with hard questions and turned insight into action. We dig in...
Send a text Feeling the pressure to keep up without burning out? We sat down with Wes to unpack how to stay relevant in a fast-moving market by treating AI as a tool, not a trophy. From spotting real opportunities to building processes that scale, this conversation maps a practical path to resilience: clear vision, focused experiments, and recovery as a competitive edge. We break down a simple filter for adopting new tech: if a tool advances your mission, adopt it; if not, it’s noise. Wes sh...
Send a text What does it really take to keep showing up when life knocks the wind out of you? We sit down with Australian website strategist and Uplift360 founder Wes Towers to trace a raw arc from early scarcity to building a thriving agency—and the night he cried under his desk, wiped his eyes, dimmed the lights, and still closed the biggest deal of his career. That moment becomes a gateway into practical resilience, nervous system regulation, and the kind of leadership that builds trust wh...
Send a text Burnout isn’t a badge of honor; it’s a bottleneck. We sit down with Charles to trace the path from founder-led chaos to a business that scales without the owner glued to every decision. If success has only made you busier, this conversation shows why more leads, more hires, and more clients often sink you deeper into the center—and how to step out by design. We walk through the two hardest points of growth, the quiet mechanics of predictable scale, and the systems that turn tribal...
Send a text Burnout doesn’t just drain energy; it blurs judgment. We sit down with Charles Cadet, founder and CEO of Predictable Profits, to unpack how he rebuilt success by swapping hustle for strategy and turning adversity into a durable operating system for growth. From a childhood lesson about never selling “scribbles” to paying off massive debt after a health scare, Charles shares the pivotal moments that shaped a framework leaders can actually use. We dig into the difference between fa...
Send a text Feeling burned out by beauty hype and buried in empty bottles? We sat down with Kate, the founder behind DIP, to unpack how a tiny conditioner bar can outlast liquid bottles, simplify your routine, and actually reduce waste without sacrificing how your hair looks and feels. Kate breaks down the rinse‑off reality of hair care, why most “active‑packed” claims wash down the drain, and how she designed a bar that delivers soft, shiny results through months of daily use. The journey w...
Send a text What if sustainable hair care didn’t feel like a compromise? We sit down with entrepreneur Kate Assaraf, founder of Dip Hair Care, to explore how a plastic-free brand can deliver salon-worthy results without sacrificing joy, simplicity, or your standards. Kate’s story starts at the pain point so many of us know: early eco-friendly bars that promised the planet and gave us crunchy, straw-like hair. Instead of settling, she drew on two decades in beauty and collaborated with a veter...
Send a text What if the life you planned falls apart and something brighter takes its place? We sit down with a writer and artist living with MS who turned a mother’s heartbreak and a tough airport moment into a creative movement powered by one simple rhythm: pause, breathe, pivot. From the birth of Cleo the Caterpillar to a forthcoming book titled I Am Cleo, she shows how self worth grows when you stop hiding, accept help, and choose a new path with intention. We dive into the real mechanic...
Send a text Need a spark when your plans fall apart? We sit down with author and former educator Sherry Warshelik-Lowry to trace how a teenage car crash, a hard-won recovery, and an MS diagnosis shaped a life anchored in three simple words: pause, breathe, pivot. Her story isn’t a highlight reel; it’s a toolkit for real people navigating real change, from shifting careers to parenting through uncertainty to honoring a body that sometimes says “not today.” Sherry takes us back to the blizzard...
Send a text Fire needs oxygen, and so does your ambition. We explore how a simple, conscious reflection practice can pull you out of nervous busyness and into focused momentum, especially when big goals start to create anxious energy. With guest Rob, we break down how three to five minutes of quiet can reveal whether you’re rested, challenged, and moving the needle—then show how to use seasonal deadlines to push hard, pause, and recover without burning out. We get tactical about adapting rou...
Send a text What if the grind that made you “successful” quietly stripped away your health, relationships, and joy? We sit down with high-performance coach and speaker Rob Tracy to unpack robot mode—the autopilot that looks productive but erodes your life—and how he rebuilt sustainable momentum by realigning identity, values, and goals. Rob shares his path from collegiate athlete and strength coach to 17-hour days, seven days a week, and the painful wake-up call of losing time with his fathe...
Send a text What if the bravest comeback isn’t a sprint, but thirty seconds at a time? We sit down with Jeff, a former ultra-fit athlete whose diagnosis turned adrenaline into a liability and forced a reckoning with identity, fear, and the stories we tell about worth. The moment that changed everything wasn’t a triumphant PR; it was dropping kettlebells, saying “I quit,” and then agreeing to try again for just thirty seconds. That small promise opened a path from panic to presence and rebuilt...
Send a text A fit ultrarunner collapses on a gym floor, flatlines for eight minutes, and wakes up asking to finish the workout. That moment became the starting point for a deeper journey—one that challenges how we define resilience, identity, and the quiet courage it takes to ask for help. We sit down with coach and speaker Jeff Luther, who survived sudden cardiac arrest in front of his teenage son and later faced a second terrifying episode that reshaped how he lives, parents, and leads. Je...
Send a text A police K9 given weeks to live walked onto an NFL field to a standing ovation—and reminded us why hope is a strategy. We sit down with Chris to trace Tambo’s journey from a sudden ER scare and a brutal hemangiosarcoma diagnosis to a rare break in the odds, immediate chemotherapy, and a plan built on grit, joy, and relentless love. What starts as a private fight grows into a movement as Chris turns chemo days into themed “fight nights,” shares their road trips and recovery, and wa...
Send a text What if the partner you needed most was the one everyone else overlooked? We sit down with veteran officer Chris Bingham to share the remarkable arc of his relationship with K9 Tambo—the “aloof” dog who wouldn’t bond—through seven years of elite detection work, a tough retirement, and a sudden cancer battle that forced split‑second choices and deeper courage. Chris takes us inside the quiet craft of canine detection: how a handler learns to read breath, posture, and micro‑signals...
