Kevan Miller played hockey the right way. His journey to the NHL went from being cut multiple times, grinding through tryouts and the minors, and then laying his body on the line night in and out to earn a successful career and the respect of Boston Bruins fans everywhere. However, that success didn't come without a price. His body took a beating and injuries robbed years from his career and even an opportunity to win the Stanley Cup.You'd think this kind of journey would make Kevan a bitter man... but it's quite the opposite. He's one of the nicest, most humble, and purpose-filled family men I've ever met. And this discussion is encouraging for both hockey and non-hockey fans alike who know what it's like to overcome pain and regret.

If there ever was a man meant to direct movies, it would be Rocco. Rocco and I have crossed paths over the years, but thanks to his gracious invitations to hang with his film family, we’ve become great friends. I first saw Rocco’s work when I watched the Flyboys in 2008. My mind was blown. It was so cinematic and amazing. A total family adventure. Rocco talked about his crazy adventures directing this film, getting arrested while driving cross county, which eventually led to him meeting his wife. Rocco took a break from directing to raise his boys, and once they finally grew up, dove back into his love for cinema. He recently directed a doc about demolition derby and the insane desire people have had to smash the crap out of each other. Seeing a hole in the marketplace, Rocco created a streaming platform called “Wheelhouse” which is solely focused on creating motorsports content. The platform launches later this month and we’re super stoked to see people’s responses to this amazing doc!Follow Rocco on Social:- LinkedIn_____Contact us: Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, or Linkedin Visit our Youtube channel for the video Thanks for listening.

Founder of Muunifi, Taylor Perkins shares the purpose behind Muunifi and how it provides a place for people to connect to successful entrepreneurs, learn from them, and support others in the community along the way.Normally as a teenager, kids are into cars, rock’n’roll, etc. Taylor may have been into those, but he also had an incredible obsession with the financial market. The idea of investing money and seeing it compound into something greater made the wheels in his head spin. After finding mentors and getting a bit of capital through sales, Taylor learned as much as he could about the financial systems of the world and started investing. He became a guru in the space, helping others reach financial freedom along the way. He then dove into the cryptic world of crypto, and with smart investing, retired before the age of 30! Seeing the struggles that financial strain had on others, he decided to start Muunifi, a social platform that helps fellow investors connect with others and learn strategies that will help them achieve their financial goals. Taylor is just a super rad dude. Full of passion and super stoked to help others succeed. It was so great chatting with him and we’re excited to see his platform launch and take the world by storm.

Growing up in Hawaii, Alan learned very quickly that paradise didn't come cheap. Alan and his family always had a survival mentality. They made ends meet, but just barely. Moving around all the time, finding different jobs; this was the life Alan had known. But growing older, he became fascinated with how money actually worked. Understanding principles of saving and spending less than you make, Alan created a business educating people on the principles of growing your income, without having any proper college education on finance. As he kept practicing and learning, he grew his business to what it is today, stretching his platform across the United States. But despite his incredible success, Alan remains as humble and cool as ever. He defied all odds and created his own path.

Tami’s superpower is that she always knew the power of being unique.  Even as a kid, she knew that creating your own path was where you can find authenticity and power.  She created BeUtoFullness to help find their own unique formula for success and joy.  Her creative mind can never stop however, and recognizing the struggles that kids have faced dealing with their own emotions, she created InUpowers to help deal with the epic feelings they have inside themselves.  And it’s so simple and so deep! This animated book is a great resource for teachers to use when helping kids navigate the world of emotions. It’s been such a successful program that sex trafficking survivors have used it as means to thrive after facing such horrific experiences.  Her hope is to turn InUpowers into its own animated series.  It was such a joy to chat with Tami!

Fred truly loved people and through his actions, showed his care and concern. It's not what job you do but how you do it. Mark spent a bit of time diving into his book and talked about how to do things genuinely and why you should strive inwardly to be a Fred in all of your interactions. It was awesome getting to know Mark and if you haven't checked out this book, definitely put it on your list!!_____Contact us: Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, or Linkedin Visit our Youtube channel for the video Thanks for listening.

Ben and Chad Truman are just outstanding human beings. Period. Growing up in Nashville and seeing levels of success their dad has in the country music scene, they knew the importance of staying grounded despite any success they may have. We talked about the dangers of virality as artists and what placing our values could do there. We also talked about how our weaknesses can be used to benefit our art. Chad shared how he was a bit tone deaf and his ability to sing really came from his ability to turn notes into mathematical equations. Pretty amazing stuff! I really enjoyed getting to know both of them on this incredible level.

Casey Elliott is one of those people that makes the world that much better of a place, simply by existing. He exudes coolness and kindness. I was shocked that our paths hadn't crossed before due to us roaming around similar circles. I was then even more shocked when I realized his dad is a good friend of mine! We laughed as we chatted about the many random and amazing coincidences that we both shared. Casey talked about the formation of their Gentleman Trio or Gentri, and the path of success that followed. We discussed how art can take a life of its own well after creation and how we need to be careful of the type of art we gift the world. Great times talking with this great man.

The first time I chatted with Curtis, I was immediately aware of the light in his eyes. You can tell he operates his life with absolute grace. We laughed as we talked about his discovery of entrepreneurship and how that led him to many different ventures. His book, The Entrepreneur's paradox talks about the 16 different pitfalls you face as an entrepreneur. We chatted about proper goal setting and identifying what type of business you are involved in, whether you are seeking to create a lifestyle business, a business that will be acquired, or going for that IPO. We also chatted about summiting Kilimanjaro and how that completely changed his viewpoint on business. So much so, that after coming back a changed man, he completely rewrote his book! This podcast was amazing. So many incredible nuggets of truth! One truth being what happens when you change the question of "what if" to "what is". Great man and great podcast.

Lance exudes the coolest style. He loves business, he loves travel, and he definitely loves doing both together. He is a marketing genius as well. Using his creativity, he has mastered the art of raising $$ through Kickstarter, raising over $1,000,000 to fund his company. We talked about the joys of making his company a reality, as well as how he pivoted when his initial vision went south. He also talked about the joys of doing business in a different country and how much our lives and thoughts are shaped by the environment we are raised in. Lance's life is full of rich experiences and it was an absolute blast walking down memory lane with him. He is now stoked to strip his latest sprinter van and turn into a vehicle his family can live in. Total adventure. Just the way he likes it.

Greg Trimble is one of those people who does things. I know that sounds pretty vague, but there's a lot of people out there who don't do things because they're afraid the outcome might not live up to their expectations. So to expound a little, when Greg has a cool idea, there's no back burner for him to throw the idea on to be tackled later, he just does it. He's already started plenty of businesses, written several books, and written tons of blogs. One of his most treasured lessons he learned from a tech company he created in college. He learned the importance of building a strong and healthy culture at the foundation of a company, which is what he practices currently at the digital marketing agency he founded, Lemonade Stand! Greg is such a great guy, I love our conversations! If you haven't had the chance yet to read his books, you're missing out! Check out his website for all of his books, blogs, and any future updates!I hope you enjoy this uplifting episode as much as I did!_____Contact us: Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, or Linkedin Visit our Youtube channel for the video Thanks for listening.

Although Brandon and I haven't known each other for a long time, I feel like we have become brothers from another mother.  We met just over a month ago and learned that we felt so aligned in so many different ways.  And as I got to know him more, I sensed that he has one of the purest hearts of the people I know.  He just wants to do good.  He always had a vivid imagination and figured out a way to turn his imagination in a very successful career as an author.  His story of "The Other End of the Hippo" and "FableHaven" are just incredible.  Today we chatted about his journey becoming an author, from writing books that no one ever wanted to publish to selling over 2 million books worldwide and creating experiences that people can latch on to.  As an avid reader, I have been such a fan of his works so it was really a privilege to chat with him about the things that mean most to him.  His 5th book in the Dragon Watch series comes out October 26th and concludes the Kendra and Seth story that he penned back in 2006.  We talked about his books, the wrecking balls in life that made him lose hope, and the healing power of God that brought life back to him.  Such a great time chatting with this man.  Enjoy!_____Contact us: Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, or Linkedin Visit our Youtube channel for the video Thanks for listening.

In 2020, two friends hid $5,000 dollars in the mountains of Utah, leaving cryptic clues to lead locals on an epic four-day treasure hunt. The motivation behind the hunt? Simply to get people outside and having fun after months of COVID pandemic quarantine.In 2021, they raised the stakes to $10,000—and left a series of clues that took seventeen days to solve as thousands of people raked the hiking trails along the Wasatch Front.In 2022, they went even further and are giving away $20,000 in a treasure chest, that is, if you're clever enough to solve their riddle 😉. Now this isn't even the craziest part, they're not doing just one hunt for 20k, but 3 separate treasure hunts throughout the year, each with a chest of 20,000 dollars waiting at the end!So who was behind these epic treasure hunts? John Maxim and David Cline, two Salt Lake City residents and business owners. John is a real estate mogul and house flipper, and David is an author and investor. Our host Charan Prabhakar talked with them about their experience planning the hunts, how this year’s adventure exploded to get international attention, and the unexpected ways these treasure hunts have inspired individuals and brought families and communities closer. Have a listen, and enjoy!For current and future treasure hunts, visit Dave and John at utahtreasurehunts.com or follow @the.cline.fam & @onthejohn on Instagram for real time updates._____Contact us: Reach out to us on Instagram, Facebook, or Linkedin Visit our Youtube channel for the video Thanks for listening.

Jeremy is one of those rare gentlemen I've had the privilege of knowing for about 18 years or so. He was a quiet guy with big dreams. Loved his guitar. Who would have thought that years later he would be the source of comedy all over the globe! For almost 2 decades now, Jeremy has brought joy to many, many humans. First through a sketch group in college, to being an incredibly funny cast member of Studio C, to graduating to JK Studios, and finally landing as a director for feature films, Jeremy has allowed comedy to weave through his life. We discussed how comedy has come to us during incredible vital parts of our lives and how laughter can help us heal trauma. So great catching up with this man!
