  • Anna Vocino: Say “NO” to Big Food and Build Your Own Business Instead
    Nov 21 2024

    Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other non-foods?

    And why do so many growing companies that started as a healthier real food alternative ultimately sell their souls to Big Food?

    We're back this week with our dear friend, Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, actor, stand-up comedian, podcaster and founder of eat Happy Kitchen, a natural food company. She's here to show you how the food we buy in the grocery store actually gets made, and it's not always pretty.

    In this episode with Anna, you're about to hear:

    • Why nearly all of the products you find in the grocery store—everything from sauces, spices and dressings to cookies and cereals—contain sketchy non-food ingredients
    • How to muster up the courage to start your own business without losing your mind or your pants
    • How to achieve longevity in the world of podcasting and media, from a couple of OGs

  • Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health
    Nov 7 2024
    Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse?

    With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality.

    That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.

    So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformations?

    And are regular joes and janes like us actually better off without private chefs and nutritionists?

    Today we’re here with celebrity chef and entrepreneur, James Barry.

    Chef James Barry’s 20 years in the field started as a private chef cooking for billionaires, musicians, and celebrities, including Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack, to name a few. But it was becoming a father that forced him to go deeper in his exploration of functional food.

    As the Founder of Pluck, Chef James is the creator of a unique organ-based superfood seasoning that can be sprinkled on foods for a tasty kick that packs the nutritional punch of grass-fed liver, kidney, spleen, heart and pancreas along with organic spices.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:
    • Why the food served at fancy, expensive restaurants is so often terrible for our health
    • Simple cooking tips and techniques to make home-cooked meals more flavorful, satisfying, and nutritious
    • How to encourage picky eaters to become more adventurous by expanding their palate
    • The unexpected challenges and downsides of relying on external experts like private chefs and nutritionists
    • And much more…

  • Matt Beaudreau: How to Nurture Genius and Courage in a Habitually Compliant Population
    Oct 24 2024

    What’s the difference between education and indoctrination?

    Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended?

    The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility.

    We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.

    The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority.

    As Seth Godin writes, “To efficiently run a school, amplify fear (and destroy passion).”

    These days, educators have limited intellectual freedom to teach what they want to teach.

    In past decades, we had far less access to information or schooling, yet were far more educated. Now in the age of AI, we have access to unlimited information, but we don’t know if any of it is real or true.

    So what is the future of education?

    Our guest today is Matt Beaudreau, a former public school educator and administrator who has dedicated his career to rethinking the very foundations of our education system. Matt shares: “When I saw this system for what it was, I could no longer be a part of perpetuating it.”

    As founder of the Apogee Strong mentorship program, Matt has an unwavering commitment to empowering young people to become sovereign, self-directed learners - a radical departure from the compliance-driven model that dominates our schools.

    True education should foster creativity and critical thinking, allowing individuals to pursue their unique passions. Matt’s belief, which I share, is that genius is common, and true learning is about unlocking the innate genius in every one of us.

    In this episode, you’ll discover:

    • How to unshackle your mind from the limits of traditional schooling and cultural conditioning
    • Why modern education systems are anti-entrepreneurial and train students to be employees rather than innovators
    • How to utilize passion as a vehicle to learn how to learn
    • How to cultivate courage, foster civil discourse and intellectual flexibility to counter the polarization and echo chambers in today's society
    • The status games played by elite institutions
    • And much more…
