This week I welcome Brittany Ford, also known as Biohacking Brittany, who is a registered holistic nutritionist specializing in all things health and wellness. Our discussion covers the concept of biohacking as a comprehensive approach to improve health by making small lifestyle changes, emphasizing sleep, nutrition, fitness, and reducing toxin exposure.

Brittany shares her personal health journey, from facing health issues as a teenager to discovering biohacking and holistic health, ultimately leading her to study holistic nutrition and help others optimize their health.

Key topics include the importance of gut health, personalized health strategies, and biohacking for women's specific health needs, along with tips for entrepreneurs to maintain health and passion in their work. Brittany touches on biohacking at home to reduce the impact of electromagnetic fields, creating boundaries for work-life balance, and fostering a passion for health and wellness for yourself and your loved ones.

This week I chat with John Miles; keynote speaker, author, combat veteran, and host of the #1 ranked alternative health podcast, Passion Struck!

John shares his origin story - from Naval Academy graduate and military officer to Fortune 50 CIO and "recovering senior executive." Despite reaching high levels of career success, John realized that he nearly lost his sense of purpose. This was the spark that set him on a journey to finding his TRUE passion.

John explains the meaning behind Passion Struck - it's not a single destination but an ongoing way of life focused on fulfilling your highest potential and serving others. He shares research showing 76% of people at the end of life say their biggest regret was not becoming their ideal self, essentially leading an unlived life.

The key to being Passion Struck: tuning into your inner voice and intrinsic motivations instead of societal expectations or others' definitions of success. John profiles luminaries he researched (Oprah, Derek Jeter, Bono, etc.) who created lives aligned with their purpose by pursuing their dreams relentlessly.

Our guest today is Travis Davenport, founder of Wolf & Iron, a company that helps CEOs and entrepreneurs build thriving cultures and workplaces centered around personal values. Travis discusses the importance of belonging to a "wolf pack" community that inspires and challenges you, while also developing close "iron sharpens iron" relationships that push you to grow. He talks about the difference between "hard skills" and "human skills," arguing that human skills like coaching, mentoring, and inspiring employees are becoming increasingly critical for company culture and retention.

Travis explains how the nature of work is evolving - younger generations don't want bosses that command them; they want leaders who empower them as partners in the company mission. With more options available thanks to the internet and remote work, employees are seeking meaning and purpose from their jobs, not just a paycheck. Companies that tap into this desire through strong human-centered leadership stand to gain dedicated, mission-driven team members.

This week we're diving into the inspiring story of Tessa Arnold, co-founder and COO of Snapback Energy! Tessa's journey with Snapback started after she tragically lost her husband. In his honor, she took the reins and made his vision for the company a reality! The first flavor of Snapback Energy was actually his creation, adding a heart-felt personal touch to the brand.

For the past 6 years, Tessa has put her heart and soul into building Snapback Energy. Their products are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, catering to a wide range of customers. With flavors like grape and orange already available and a third in development, Snapback Energy is continuously growing.

But it's not just about business for Tessa - it's about embracing wellness and the mind-body connection. She's really delved into holistic health topics like Ayurveda, shaping the brand's ethos. What makes Snapback Energy stand out is its patented formula, carefully crafted to provide energy and liver support without any unhealthy ingredients. Tessa worked closely with food scientists to ensure a clean and effective formula.

Leaving behind a successful career in banking, Tessa took on the challenge of leading Snapback Energy full-time. Despite the learning curve of entrepreneurship, she found fulfillment in pursuing her true purpose. Snapback is a true embodiment of resilience, dedication, and the power of turning adversity into something truly impactful!
