Health is the number one Wealth! Ultra Life Sport was founded by Chris and Alba—two wellness enthusiasts united by a shared vision: to create something better. A performance-forward supplement company rooted in integrity, science, and lived experience. Chris, an avid cyclist and athlete, faced a life-altering motorcycle accident in 2014. The long journey back to health exposed gaps in the wellness and pharmaceutical industries. Frustrated by ineffective products and chemical-laden solutions, Chris began experimenting, beginning with a muscle rub that finally brought him relief. As his strength regained, his curiosity deepened. Drawing on his background in plant biology and holistic medicine, he started formulating nootropics, adaptogens, and recovery tools that addressed both physical and cognitive performance. Each blend was crafted on the principle of synergy, where ingredients work together to amplify their effects and deliver truly effective results. Alba, originally from Spain, brought a global perspective and a heartfelt commitment to ethical wellness. Her experience in operations and sales helped turn Chris’s early formulations into a growing business. Together, they committed to building Ultra Life Sport on their shared values: clean, potent ingredients with full transparency and zero shortcuts, and no product sold unless they personally use it themselves. From a kitchen in a two-bedroom apartment to a cleanroom in the garage, to a full-scale manufacturing facility in Southern California, Ultra Life Sport has grown organically, powered by word-of-mouth, customer loyalty, and creating products that make a difference in people’s lives. Flagship products like Gamma, a cognitive performance stack, Pain & Inflammation, and their adaptogenic cacao mushroom latte, MushBoom & matcha mushroom latte, MushZoom, are now trusted by athletes, biohackers, and wellness seekers alike. Their mission is simple: to support people in living their own Ultra Life—elevating daily performance and unlocking personal and human potential—with tools that nurture the body, focus the mind, and nourish the spirit. https://ultralifesport.com/ IG & FB @ultralifesport She's All Over the Place Podcast https://www.chonacas.com/podcast/ IG @shesallovertheplacepodcast

When the most wanted man in America surfaces in a small Kentucky town, his violent history ― and a bloodthirsty mob seeking vengeance and a king’s ransom ― soon follow. As brothers face off against one another and bullets tear the town to shreds, this lightning-fast gunslinger makes his enemies pay the ultimate price for their greed. Academy Award® winner Nicolas Cage, Stephen Dorff, and Heather Graham star in this action-packed Western-thriller about true justice in the Wild West. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT - BRIAN SKIBA The Western genre has always carried a timeless allure—tales of justice, revenge, and survival in the face of lawlessness. With Gunslingers, I wanted to create a film that not only honors the great Westerns that came before but also brings something fresh and bold to the table. This film is about outlaws, redemption, and the harsh reality of a world where the line between good and evil is razor-thin. Bringing Gunslingers to life has been a journey of passion and perseverance, a two-year odyssey filled with challenges and triumphs. At its core, this is a story about a wanted man who stumbles upon a hidden town—a sanctuary for criminals—only to realize that salvation comes at a cost. When a relentless posse arrives to collect on the town’s entire population, the stage is set for an explosive battle where survival is the only currency that matters. With an extraordinary cast led by Stephen Dorff, Heather Graham, and Nicolas Cage, we’ve crafted a world that feels gritty, raw, and authentically Western. Their performances bring depth and intensity to the story, breathing life into characters who exist in a world where justice is often a matter of who draws first. None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of Grindstone executive Barry Brooker and my producing partner/star, Laurie Love, whose dedication helped shape this film into what it is today. Gunslingers is more than just a Western—it’s a film about the choices we make when the odds are against us. It’s a tribute to the spirit of those who refuse to back down, who fight for their survival, no matter the cost. For fans of the genre, this is a must-watch, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience the world we’ve built. Listen to another episode with Filmmaker, Brian Skiba here.

Greetings from Thailand! Z-Machine’s exciting independent 3-part docuseries, “Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison. ” The first of its kind documystery series clocks in at a total of 3.5-hours (each episode is just over an hour in length) and will make its global TVOD/Digital release on January 13, 2025, following Morrison’s 81st birthday, available on all the major platforms of Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and YouTube TV. A dozen years in the making, Before the End’s cryptic tagline encapsulates its investigative approach: “One Man. Countless Myths. And in between lies the truth.” Z-Machine founder, Jeff Finn’s extraordinary detail work breaks the decades-long hermetic seal on the traumatic formative years that forged a brief hellacious life, through Morrison’s controversial career as lead singer of the legendary 1960s rock band, The Doors, to his reported 1971 death by “heart failure” in Paris at age 27. Morrison’s ostensible demise, technically an unsolved cold case, formed its own rabbit hole of reasonable doubt, which inspired Finn to consult with private investigators and forensic analysts. Before the End transcends “rock doc” in the same sense that Jim Morrison was more than a rock star. Featuring unprecedented content, from shocking corroboration about Morrison’s early life to harrowing revelations about his stardom, and fresh evidence that contradicts his professed death, Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison is proudly unauthorized because it “seeks the unvarnished truth.” The documystery reverse-engineers long-controlled narratives while it explores the notion of Morrison the nonconformist as neurodivergent, and deconstructs - through on-camera interviews with family, friends, lovers, classmates, and associates – key distinctions between Jim Morrison, “rock god,” and James Douglas Morrison, an introverted outsider.
