It's a community that is committed to teaching the most important human skills: making a strong living, having a clear sense of purpose, creating deep and powerful relationships, and creating a life that overall just feels really good and fulfilling.

 

It's a community that is committed to going beyond ourselves to focus on the greater good, that addresses our biggest collective challenges: climate change, poverty and homelessness, and polarization, just to name a few.

 

And most importantly: it's a community that takes a stand for kindness, growth, care, belonging, and contributing to the goodness of the world. It creates space for all of you and sparks your highest self to show up.

 

In this community, we get together from time to time to learn about and build these foundational human skills, get support when we face inevitable challenges on the path, and also receive support and resources in between our scheduled times together.

And – as part of this community, 25% of membership dues are donated to a charity or organization that’s making a difference towards a societal and global challenge.

In SO many relationships, only one person is ready and willing to do the work and Lindsay is so grateful to support these individuals on their journeys too. She works with men who want to feel respected and desired and women who want to feel appreciated and supported.. without endless conversations or forcing their partner into therapy. One person can be the change they wish to see!

 

Her approach is deeply compassionate, practical and pulls from tools from the lead relationship researchers in the world.

 

Her passion comes from her own relationship journey; She moved from intense conflict and breaking up to getting back together and creating the relationship she never thought was possible. It is her greatest joy to help others do the same!

Additionally, I donate to and raise awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode. In this episode, the organization is called Community is Medicine. Please take the time to donate at least $1. 

 

Community Medicine's mission is to close the gaps in mental-health care for young people on Vancouver Island and across Bristish Columbia, ensuring every young person receives the support they need and deserve.

 

They accept donations to provide therapy for youth who are at risk, struggling with addiction or experiencing significant trauma. They also provide free anonymous chat for these kids so they aren’t alone. I see most things through the relationship lens and our childhood wounds are playing out in our adult relationships… if we can start tending to those hurts and wounds MUCH earlier, we’ll be so much better equipped to create the kind of relationships we long for.

He works with driven, heart-centered professionals who’ve done everything “right”—the degrees, the job, the grind—but still feel a quiet ache inside, a call to something deeper. He hosts THIS top 3% podcast, Mike's Search for Meaning, dedicated to mastering what it means to be human. 

 

Before coaching and podcast hosting, Mike's background was in public accounting. He has over 11 years of public accounting experience, with a focus on financial services (hedge fund and private equity) clients, and made the choice to leave accounting in February of 2025. This episode unpacks the 6 essentials of manifestation, a topic for which there is a lot of noise. Mike seeks to bring you clarity and move you closer to the life you feel called to live. If you’re interested in getting his free 6 essentials to manifest your dream life guide, fill out this form. Additionally, he is currently in the midst of a challenge to coach 100 people in 100 days. You can book your session here. Here’s more about the challenge: It’s called the 100 Powerful Coaching Conversations in 100 Days Challenge. I'm embarking on this challenge because I am eager to serve; to support you in living your life with more courage, joy, freedom and truth. 

 

Coaching has transformed my life and continues to activate my heart and soul. It has supported me in becoming a more loving and open-hearted father & husband, and has emboldened me to trust myself and take courageous action, such as leaving my six-figure accounting job to coach.

 

Do any of these resonate with you...

 

-Have you achieved lots of external “success” but still feel that something is missing?

 

-Are you a spiritual or “woo woo” person who feels trapped and wants to break free from corporate? 

 

-Are you worried about failing or what other people will think of you?

 

-Do you want to learn how to have important, crucial conversations with people?

 

-Do you want to overcome the fear of putting yourself out there more?

 

-Is there another area you’d like to get handled?

 

I get it. I’ve been there.

 

That’s why I created my coaching practice and that’s why I am doing the 100 Powerful Coaching Conversations Challenge.

 

The details:

 

  • Open to anyone and it’s free.

 

  • There are 100 spots. No waitlist. The experience is first come, first served.

 

  • Each conversation is 75 minutes.

 

  • All conversations are 100% confidential.

 

 

Mike currently lives in the greater New York City area with his wife and son. He loves reading, learning, cooking, spending lots of time outdoors, watching his beloved but usually struggling Knicks and Jets, and connecting with his friends and family.

He has over 11 years of public accounting experience, with a focus on financial services (hedge fund and private equity) clients, and made the choice to leave accounting in February. This episode unpacks what went into his choice to leave accounting in pursuit of full-time coaching and entrepreneurship. He is currently in the midst of a challenge to coach 100 people in 100 days. You can book your session here. Here’s more about the challenge: It’s called the 100 Powerful Coaching Conversations in 100 Days Challenge. I'm embarking on this challenge because I am eager to serve; to support you in living your life with more courage, joy, freedom and truth. 

 

Coaching has transformed my life and continues to activate my heart and soul. It has supported me in becoming a more loving and open-hearted father & husband, and has emboldened me to trust myself and take courageous action, such as leaving my six-figure accounting job to coach.

 

Do any of these resonate with you...

 

-Have you achieved lots of external “success” but still feel that something is missing?

 

-Are you a spiritual or “woo woo” person who feels trapped and wants to break free from corporate? 

 

-Are you worried about failing or what other people will think of you?

 

-Do you want to learn how to have important, crucial conversations with people?

 

-Do you want to overcome the fear of putting yourself out there more?

 

-Is there another area you’d like to get handled?

 

I get it. I’ve been there.

 

That’s why I created my coaching practice and that’s why I am doing the 100 Powerful Coaching Conversations Challenge.

 

The details:

 

  • Open to anyone and it’s free.

 

  • There are 100 spots. No waitlist. The experience is first come, first served.

 

  • Each conversation is 75 minutes.

 

  • All conversations are 100% confidential.

 

 

Mike currently lives in the greater New York City area with his wife and son. He loves reading, learning, cooking, spending lots of time outdoors, watching his beloved but usually struggling Knicks and Jets, and connecting with his friends and family.

He marvels at the fact that we can measure the external universe to 10-decimal accuracy, but most of us don’t learn about our insides: our emotions, what leads to flourishing, how to take great care of ourselves. Years of personal exploration transformed him, leading to a determination to not have the road to joy be difficult for others to find.

 

He has spent the last 15 years training in meditation, personal development, and group dynamics for well being, facilitating high school students through a 3-week intensive and adults through an 18-month program. He speaks around the world on the topics of art, science, education, healing, and consciousness. See more of his work at bea.st.

 

Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Inside Circle. Any and all donations make a difference!

A former national champion in Rock ‘n’ Roll Acrobatic Dance, he is attuned to tensions between technique and creativity, between order and improvisation, and the critical importance of timing.

 

To help changemakers bring about the organizational and societal changes that they envision, Michael supports (and provokes) his clients to make leaps in their own development. Michael's experiential methods build from pedagogical training at the University of Marburg, where he obtained a Master's in Education, and at Georgetown University, where he obtained a Certificate in Leadership Coaching.

 

Michael has experienced first-hand the frustrations of generating change within multi-stakeholder systems. He founded bilingual K-12 charter schools and has a long list of his own leadership failures from attempting to generate changes in the German education system. He reflected deeply on these failures during his studies at Harvard for the Master's in Public Administration degree and zeroed in on the importance of leadership development in creating systems change.

 

He now has one focus: developing leadership. He co-teaches “Practicing Leadership Inside & Out” in the program “Doctor of Education Leadership” at Harvard Graduate School of Education, exploring the intersection between role, adult development, and systems change. He also founded the Adaptive Leadership Network to create holding environments for adaptive leaders and adaptive leadership educators to support and learn from one another. 

 

As a gay man born into a Seventh Day Adventist family, Michael has explored ways in which identity shapes how leadership is exercised. He thinks often about distinctions between “role” and “self.” In Michael's case, this includes the questioning of assumptions he's developed as a first-generation university graduate from a post-industrial German town and as a first-generation immigrant to the US.

Hi I’m Avi, a multidisciplinary Wellness Coach helping people create change through functional breath-work and contrast therapy.

 

With a diverse background working in Fashion, Tech, and Anti-Aging Medicine, one major turning point in my career was my education in Health and Wellness. At a time where I was at a mental and physical low point - overweight, depressed, and suffering from addiction, I found the Wim Hof Method and adopted it as a daily practice. I formed habits of morning breath-work, cold submersion, and sauna usage, all of which helped me with weight-loss, sleep quality, addiction, and overall restoration of energy.

 

In this newly formed path, I became a Certified Wim Hof Instructor in 2018. In addition, I’ve dedicated my time to learning other breath modalities such as The Art of Breath, The Oxygen Advantage, and taking courses with Brian Mackenzie and XPT. I am continually looking to gain more knowledge and provide genuine support and love to all who attend my workshops. I aim to create a safe, harmonious space for everyone I teach. Coaching athletes, entrepreneurs, yogis, and everyone in between, I too learn from everyone I train.

 

By utilizing stress as a method for growth, I’ve been able to accomplish more in my personal and professional life. My barometer for success is measured by helping others expand their comfort zone and develop better tools for dealing with stress. I propose that stress not be seen as a negative. By using stress to adapt, we become more resilient; creating a new pathway to healing and a deeper connection with our bodies. Through mindset-training and breath-work, I redefine the relationship with stress, ultimately this leads to a better understanding of oneself and how to thrive in our modern society. Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Breathe for ALS. Any and all donations make a difference!

My life's chapters have been diverse and unexpected.

 

Originating from South Africa, I embarked on a 15-year radio career that spanned 4 countries and hosted over 5 million global listeners. My radio career gifted me with remarkable experiences, from reality TV to Formula 1 rides, inspiring me to preserve and share these invaluable memories.

 

Relocating to Dubai in 2008 and later to Australia exposed me to various nationalities, enriching my understanding of cultures and the power of people’s stories. Then came the extraordinary – winning the American Green Card Lottery, fulfilling a lifelong dream for my my wife and me to live in the U.S.A.

 

I've learned that authentic connections stem from shared stories. This insight led to the creation of the Capsll app, a way to engage with our digital content in a meaningful way, preserving and passing on our stories across generations.

 

I'm a thinker, learner, cancer survivor, and visionary, guided by peace and fueled by empathy.

Born outside of Boston, raised in Hong Kong and Japan, and educated in England and California, she earned a BA in Sociology from Occidental College and has cultivated a compassionate interest in human behavior during her lifetime. 

Susan brings her conviction that there is something inherently “good” in people to anyone in her presence. During her 15 years of developing self-awareness training for Fortune 500 executives, corporate teams, schools, and those experiencing incarceration, she became known for her compassionate approach to the Enneagram.

While working with wildly diverse groups of people using the same insightful tool, Susan became convinced that the Enneagram has always been meant for everyone. In 2019, she founded The Human Potentialists (THP) a Benefit Corporation with a vision to democratize the Enneagram, and whose mission is guiding people to their highest potential while connecting them to the core of our shared humanity. THP is dedicated to doing business for good.

Susan lives in the Santa Cruz mountains with her husband who is EPP’s Executive Director, along with their three children, 12 chickens, and 3 cats.

In 2014, I finally stopped ignoring the stories bubbling up inside me and wrote my first book. A quirky memoir appropriately all about discovering myself. I went on to create a children’s fantasy series about a quirky little elfin girl in Iceland. 

I was finally home. I had found my center. I felt alive anytime I let the words spill out of me and onto a piece of paper. Writing became a therapy for me. I started using the tool to help heal my own traumas.

It was such a powerful tool for me, I started exploring and implementing how I could share it with others. How I can help others write their own stories, and heal through writing. The results have been astounding.

Because we all have a story inside of us, and whether you’re looking to publish that story or not, the healing release of writing it down is ENORMOUS.

I live part-time in Colorado and part-time in Portugal with my husband, three practically perfect daughters, and Gladys the cat.

Following a career in higher education in both administration and faculty roles, Valerie’s present endeavors seek to extend the concepts and experiences that she studies, teaches, and writes about outside of the halls of academia, to the lives of all people trying to navigate the tricky business of showing up in alignment with their intentions in the many contexts of their world.  

 

As Chief Illuminator at Ghost Light Leadership, Valerie accompanies individuals through their discovery of self using the analogy of theater to set the stage for their historical and unfolding story. She serves as documentarian, bringing to light the lesser known, lesser loved, and occasionally forgotten roles and scenes that make up one’s full ensemble and storyline. Through her writing, speaking, coaching, and workshop offerings, Valerie invites the many characters that comprise the full ensemble of one’s self to dance together in order to better meet their intentions.

 

Valerie is the author of Leaving the Ghost Light Burning: Illuminating Fallback in Embrace of the Fullness of You in which she reveals both the despair and ecstasy that accompany a knowing of the fullness of one’s self through the stories of four individuals and their experiences of fallback. This longitudinal study (which was actually never intended to be a longitudinal study) allows the reader to find the fullness of themselves in the journey of development and the experience of being human.  

 

Valerie holds a Bachelor’s degree from Indiana University and earned her Master’s in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego. She lives in San Diego, California with her two cats, husband, and two children, with the latter three serving simultaneously as the most frequent protagonists of and audience to her experiences of fallback and the greatest source of her desire to do better.

My company is all about first-person storytelling, so here’s my bio... in first person.

There was a time when I would have wanted to start my bio with a list of accomplishments. However, I believe that to know me, or anyone for that matter, we must know their story, albeit in part.

I’ve lived a full life to this point, with many hard-fought opportunities, and some fortunate ones. I was born in South Africa and lived through the end of the Apartheid era. As a young adult, I pursued a career in radio broadcasting. With no broadcasting education and not much more than self-taught skill and instinct, I managed to develop a craft that served me a 15 year career as an on-air host to over 5 million global listeners, without syndication, while living in four different countries.

Relocating from South Africa to Dubai in 2008 afforded me the opportunity to live among a multitude of nationalities, learning about people, cultures, and myself. Six years later, with zero budget, which was true for all our relocations, my wife and I left the UAE for Australia to help some friends in need for two years.

With no idea of what would happen at the end of our Australian visa period, and a 0.73% chance of “winning” the American Green Card Lottery (yes, that’s a real thing), we received a call from the U.S State Department to inform us that we had “won” the Green Card Lottery and would receive an expedited green card process. We stepped into a dream my wife and I had since childhood, to live in the U.S.A., where we became citizens in 2021.

What followed our move to the USA was the toughest season of our lives. More learning, but harder. Years later we emerged, having survived the onslaught of hopelessness, depression, and desertion, with much healing to do in the discovery of who we now were, ready to pursue purpose once more.

My radio career had afforded me many opportunities, and stories. From a reality tv show, to passengering in a Formula 1 car, I wanted a place to save these memories. But more than that, I wanted my future kids to know how we became the people we now are. I considered how much I would love to hear my grandfather's thoughts, now that I was mature enough to appreciate them. We were close, but he passed many years prior, all that wisdom passing with him.

I learned that we find value in each other through authentic connection. One way for us to connect is to know each other’s stories. Today's, and yesteryear's stories, remind us of who we are, that we have value, both individually and collectively.

From this place, Capsll was born, giving people digital time capsules to save their stories and pass them generationally.

I like to think of myself as some sort of commentator of the human condition, and every being’s value, both individually and collectively. I’m a thinker, a learner, a cancer survivor, a visionary. Peace is my guide, empathy my pursuit. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam Syed is the COO and cofounder at Capsll App. With a lifelong passion for history and philosophy, Sam is excited to be making a difference in people’s lives by utilizing the Capsll App and helping them preserve memories of their legacy. In joining the Capsll team, Sam is “coming home” and excited to be working for the purpose-driven company, a place where users can gather their once-scattered memories into digital time capsules that can be shared privately with full user control.

He joined Capsll with almost two decades of experience in the financial industry. He started his career as an equity broker in London, United Kingdom, advising clients on Commodities, Equities, and FX, eventually rising to the role of Derivatives Trader. He moved to Dubai in 2012, helping clients achieve their financial goals through all areas of wealth management, including retirement planning and estate planning, where he managed millions in assets. He then moved to the United States and began working as a financial advisor at Northwestern Mutual, where he helped families secure the future they desired.

Now at Capsll, he is excited to continue working to help families safeguard their legacies in a different way. He joins Capsll’s CEO Clint Davis and CPO Anton Devenish, and is excited to be on this adventure to build something meaningful and impactful with two close friends. He splits his time between Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas with his wife, Lauren. He and Lauren have one daughter, with another on the way. In his free time, Sam enjoys traveling, mountain climbing, and has an appreciation for opera and art.

Now at Capsll, he is excited to continue working to help families safeguard their legacies in a different way. He joins Capsll’s CEO Clint Davis and CPO Anton Devenish, and is excited to be on this adventure to build something meaningful and impactful with two close friends.


He splits his time between Denver, Colorado and Austin, Texas with his wife, Lauren. He and Lauren have one daughter, with another on the way. In his free time, Sam enjoys traveling, mountain climbing, and has an appreciation for opera and art.

He is often described as bold, powerful, passionate and compassionate.

 

As a coach he works with highly motivated individuals to create anything from deeper intimate relationships,  to healthier lifestyles and mission focused increases in income. He knows through personal experience and his professional work that human beings are capable of extraordinary transformation.

 

Joe has spent the last 15 years coaching, training, developing, and empowering thousands of people. First as a sales manager for Bose Corporation where he worked his way up to running multi-million dollar businesses in his mid-twenties. Then he created his own private coaching practice to liberate his life and live his mission of creating an empowered world of transformation through teaching, inspiring and coaching.

 

Through a 14 year career in leadership, losing 150 lbs, thriving after a divorce, ending a successful career and then building his own practice, Joe learned that we must develop who we are at the deepest levels and focus on our mindset as much, if not more than our skill set if we want long term change and a life we love.

 

He has been trained as a coach by complete badasses like Tripp Lanier and Chance Taureau. He is certified as a Mind Body Nutrition Coach by Marc David and the Institute for Psychology of Eating. He facilitates trainings for The Mankind Project and various local business development organizations. Joe is a founding collaborator for Return to Base, a pro-bono coaching program for combat veterans. He also volunteers time with Showing Up for Racial Justice DC chapter on the Healing Team. 

 

Joe lives in Washington DC’s Mt. Pleasant neighborhood. He is beyond grateful to have both of his parents, his two sisters and their families all close by. The work he does in growing with his family is the most inspired and challenging personal or professional growth work of his life.

 

In his spare time you can find Joe attending transformational weekend workshops. He has done “rights of passage” work in prisons, with military veterans, and with inspired civilians. He even spent years of his life fostering, training and rehabilitating Pit Bulls. When he isn’t deep in transformational work, he is indulging in high quality chocolate, hiking through the woods, and spending copious amounts of time enjoying live music.

Additionally, I’ll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest’s choice with each episode now. This episode, the charity is Native American Rights Fund. Any and all donations make a difference!

It has been said that everyone has a story to tell, but unfortunately most go through life thinking that theirs will never be read since they lack the ability to construct cohesive and compelling written content into the finished form of a book. 

 

As a lifelong writer, Matthew has learned from, and adapted, his various experiences in fields such as Finance, Project Management and Real Estate to help those with the desire to help make the world a better place.  In the ghostwriting space he prides himself on providing a voice for the voiceless, working with clients who have a message of growth or inspiration that can make the world a better place.  As an author coach Matthew partners with aspiring and experienced writers who do not want to have someone else write their story by helping to identify gaps and enhance strengths so they can take their projects to the next level.

​

Matthew is the author of Grow Up: No, Really and Employed: A Career Readiness Manual, books designed to help people enrich their lives through basic life skills and career readiness training. When he is not focused on helping others, Matthew's other passions are writing works of fiction, both novels and screenplays, and spending time with his children.

Nearly a decade into a sporadic Hollywood career as a writer and producer that had taken him through a gauntlet of near misses with a range of studios and production companies – Fox, MTV and Nickelodeon to name a few – he found himself at a crossroads. How could he be true to his need to create and the desire to serve that had led him to teaching high school English at his alma mater, Poly Prep, in Brooklyn? How could he leverage the unique viewpoint that had delighted audiences in comedy clubs like The World Famous Comedy Store and the Hollywood Improv and his lifelong commitment to helping others find their voices? How, to cut to the chase, could he make a living while honoring the person he had always been and the husband, father and man he’d become?

 

He looked back over his life and found that the greatest successes he’d experienced — or even witnessed — all pointed to one basic reality: To consistently perform at the highest levels, we must align who we are, where we are and where we want to go. Alignment had been the key as he navigated Flatbush streets to get to the cobblestone paths of Yale University.

 

Alignment had been key in making his way west to USC’s Peter Stark Producing Program where he earned his MFA. Alignment had even been critical in creating the family he shared with his wife, Daphne and their twins, Alex and Maya. Yes, alignment had been key in all those situations, but how does one create it?

 

In answering that question for himself, Orlando uncovered the questions and insights he now shares with others as they face their own crossroads, personally and professionally. Today, people from all walks of life have used and are using the Align approach to change careers, get promotions and even find the romantic relationships they desire. One might wonder how Orlando can be so confident that the Align approach will work for such a range of clients pursuing such an array of desired outcomes. His answer: “Each person has to define their own line, to walk their own line. What I provide is simply the approach. And I know the Align approach works; it worked for me.”
