First, we sit down with Ben Choi, head coach of the Arizona Dragon Boat Association and 4-time defending AZDBA Corporate Champion. Ben shares how dragon boating is building teamwork, resilience, and connection across Arizona’s lakes—and how his crews have gone from local teams to Team USA medalists on the world stage in Thailand.

Next, we meet Erika Frost, transformation coach and creator of Rise & Thrive, a 7-week program helping people heal emotional blocks and rediscover their inner truth. From her near-death experience at 20 to her time as a psychic medium aboard the Queen Mary, Erika’s journey has been one of deep healing and soul connection. She shares how chakra-based coaching and hypnotherapy can help anyone return to their authentic self.
